                           (Unaudited)

(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Norland Medical Systems, Inc.
(the "Company") presented herein, have been prepared  pursuant to the rules of
the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do
not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles.  These statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
December 31, 1995, which were audited by Coopers & Lybrand L.L.P., and included
in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 28, 1996.  The figures in these statements have been restated to
reflect the 3-for-2 stock split which was effective June 14, 1996.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1996, the condensed
consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996, and changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the nine months
then ended are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
presentation of results for these interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.

(2) INVENTORIES

As of September 30, 1996, inventories consist of the following:

         Demonstration systems,
         less accumulated amortization
         of $67,716                     $  639,583

(2) INVENTORIES, continued:

Systems used in the Company's short-term rental and pay-per-scan programs are
carried in inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value until the time
of sale.

The Company maintains an inventory of demonstration systems used for marketing
and customer service purposes.  Such systems are carried in inventory at the
lower of cost or net realizable value until the time of sale.  From time to
time, the Company may judge it desirable for marketing purposes to provide a
device to a prominent scientist or research institution specializing in the
study of bone disease.  In such cases, the Company will carry the device in
demonstration system inventory at cost less amortization expense calculated on a
straight-line basis over thirty-six months.

Parts and sub-assemblies inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market;
cost is determined principally by the first-in, first-out method.

(3) ACQUISITION OF DOVE MEDICAL SYSTEMS

On April 2, 1996, the Company acquired Dove Medical Systems (Dove) in a
transaction accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The
condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the issuance of 161,538
shares of Company Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding Dove shares.  In
addition, the statements reflect a payment by the Company of $3,600,000 in
exchange for certain patent and other intangible assets owned by the Dove
majority shareholder and other investors.  The goodwill, patent and other
intangible assets are amortized over their useful lives of 20, 10 and 20 years,
respectively.

(4) INVESTMENT IN VITEL, INC.

On May 31, 1996, the Company entered into a distribution agreement with Vitel,
Inc. of Dallas, Texas (Vitel), pursuant to which the Company has the worldwide
rights to all products that may be developed by Vitel.  The Company also made a
$260,000 investment in Vitel which represents a minority interest that is
accounted for according to the cost method.  Vitel has not yet developed any
products which are marketed.  Vitel is currently developing bone diagnostic
devices that use technology called Ultrasound Critical Angle Reflection under an
exclusive license from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center of
Dallas.

(5) NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Primary income per share is calculated by dividing net income by the average
shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the
period.  Common stock equivalents are stock options which have been included
using the treasury stock method only when their effect is dilutive.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         ---------------------------------------------------------------
         Results of Operations
         ---------------------


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased $2,836,355
(54.2%) to $8,066,882 from $5,230,527 for the comparable period of 1995. 
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 increased $7,104,530
(54.1%) to $20,234,288 from $13,129,758 for the comparable period in 1995.  The
increases were largely a result of increased sales of pDEXA systems in the
United States following its introduction in the fourth quarter of 1995,
increased sales of the Company's other products and sales by Dove (which was
acquired by the Company on April 2, 1996).  Sales of pDEXA systems in Japan
declined due in part to increased competition, reductions in reimbursement for
certain densitometry sales in Japan and operational difficulties experienced
earlier in 1996 with pDEXA units installed in Japan and the southeastern United
States related to the effects of humidity on one component.  The Company
believes that these operational difficulties have been addressed.  Sales in
Japan and the United States represented 10.1% and 71.2%, respectively, of total
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 68.9% and 6.5%
respectively, of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1995. 
Sales in Japan and the United States represented 28.0% and 50.5%, respectively,
of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 70.6% and
6.5%, respectively, of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30,
1995.  Sales of complete bone densitometry systems represented 95.1% and 94.6%
of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and 94.2% and 94.5% of total revenues for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Sales of parts and services and
rental income comprised the balance of revenues for such periods.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 67.1% and 71.0% for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, resulting in a gross
margin of 32.9% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to 29.0%
for the comparable period of 1995.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue
was 65.3% and 69.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 34.7% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 compared to 31.0% for the comparable period of 1995.  The
increases in gross margin are attributed to the product mix in the current
periods which consisted of a relatively greater proportion of revenues from
higher margin products such as the pDEXA when sold directly by the Company to
customers in the United States.  In an effort to further increase system sales
volume in the United States, the Company has been establishing a network of
third party distributors.  Most sales of pDEXA and traditional DXA systems are
now made through such distributors.  Such sales are at lower gross margins than
sales that were made directly by the Company to customers.  Second and third
quarter sales of OsteoAnalyzer systems manufactured by Dove, for which the
Company receives the entire margin between the manufacturer's cost and the
Company's sale price, also contributed to the increases in the Company's gross
margins.  A portion of the margins on the Company's other products is paid to
the manufacturers.

Sales and marketing expense increased $470,303 (99.8%) to $941,743 for the three
months ended September 30, 1996 from $471,440 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995, and increased 

                               -9-

<PAGE>

as a percentage of revenue to 11.7% from 9.0%.   Sales and marketing expense
increased $1,307,441 (119.6%) to $2,400,263 for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1996, from $1,092,822 for the nine months ended September 30,
1995, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 11.9% from 8.3%.  The
increases were primarily due to increased salaries and commissions related to
increased sales staff and sales volume, increased expenses related to customer
service, marketing expenses related to penetration of the United States market,
and inclusion of the sales and marketing expenses of Dove for the second and
third quarters of 1996.

General and administrative expense (before the stock offering charge referred to
below) increased $264,133 (80.5%) to $592,302 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $328,169 for the three months ended September 30, 1995
and increased as a percentage of revenue to 7.3% from 6.3%.  General and
administrative expense (before the stock offering charge) increased $767,253
(105.9%) to $1,492,074 for the nine months period ended September 30, 1996 from
$724,821 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and increased as a
percentage of revenue to 7.4% from 5.5%.  These increases were primarily due to
increased expenses of new and existing personnel; to legal, accounting and other
expenses attributable to the Company having become a public company and to
increased levels of business; and to the inclusion of Dove's operations for the
second and third quarters of 1996.  In the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the
Company also recognized a $397,697 charge for the expenses incurred in
connection with the Company's stock offering that was withdrawn in August as a
result of the general stock market decline and the decline in the price of the
Company's common stock.  

Other income in 1996 and 1995 consisted primarily of interest earned on the
proceeds of the Company's initial public offering and on other cash balances,
reduced by other expenses consisting primarily of bank charges and other fees
related to bank transfers.  

The provision for taxes for the three months ended September 30, 1996 increased
by $6,705 (1.9%) to $352,000 from $345,295 for the three months ended September
30, 1995.  The provision for taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
increased by $367,459 (37.9%) to $1,337,459 from $970,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996.  The Company has provided for income taxes at its
current effective tax rate of 40.6% for both the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 1996 and 1995.  The increases in the provision for taxes
were entirely due to the relative changes in income before taxes.

The Company had net income of $515,335 for the three months ended September 30,
1996 compared to net income of $505,364 for the three months ended September 30,
1995, an increase of $9,971 (2.0%).  The Company had net income of $1,956,647
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to net income of
$1,419,341 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, an increase of $537,306
(37.9%).  The increases were due primarily to increased sales and interest
earned on cash balances.  The stock offering charge of $397,697 recognized in
the quarter ended September 30, 1996 reduced net income on an after tax basis by
$236,094.  Excluding the after tax effect of this charge, net income for the
quarter ended September 30, 1996 would be $751,429 and net income for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 would be $2,192,931 representing increases of
48.7% and 54.5%, respectively over the comparable periods in 1995.  The charge
on an after tax basis reduced earnings per share for the periods by $.03.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased $9,452,598 to $9,766,267 in the nine months ended September 30,
1996.  The decrease in cash was primarily the result of the Company acquiring
Dove and certain intangible assets used by Dove in exchange for shares of
Company common stock and $3.6 million in cash, increased accounts receivable
relative to accounts payable, the payment of $2.7 million in corporate income
taxes, and loans of $1.1 million to officers of the Company.  The Company has
made a $1,025,000 loan to Reynald G. Bonmati, President, and an $80,000 loan to
Kurt W. Streams, Chief Financial Officer.  The loan to Mr. Bonmati is payable on
demand and bears interest at 6% per annum.  The loan to Mr. Streams is due in
September 1997 and bears interest at 6% per annum.

The Company's accounts receivable increased 138.5% to $11,330,723 at September
30, 1996 from $4,751,773 at December 31, 1995.  The increase in accounts
receivable reflects both higher sales volume and less prompt payments by the
Company's customers.  At September 30, 1996, the largest balance, 25.8% of total
outstanding trade receivables, was owed by Nissho Iwai, the Company's
distributor in Japan.

At December 31, 1995, the Company employed no fixed assets other than leased
computers and office furniture.  Property and equipment as of September 30, 1996
consisted of computer and telephone equipment, a management information system,
office furniture and improvements to leased facilities.  The Company expects to
expand its management information and telephone systems and provide additional
financing under its Product Development Loan Agreement with Norland Corporation
and Stratec Medizintechnik GmbH.

Management believes that its current cash position, together with cash flow from
operations, will be adequate to fund the Company's growth and operations for at
least the next twelve months.  However, the nature of the Company's business is
that it is subject to changes in technology, government approval and regulation,
and changes in third-party reimbursement in numerous foreign markets and the
United States.  Significant changes in one or more of these factors in a major
market for the Company's products could significantly affect the Company's
ability to meet its cash needs through internal sources.
