(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 June 30, 1996, the condensed
consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30,
1996, and changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for the six 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 six months ended June 30, 1996 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal
year ending December 31, 1996.

(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
$250,000 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 June 30, 1996 increased $2,945,806 (73.6%) to
$6,949,116 from $4,003,310 for the comparable period of 1995.  Revenue for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 increased $4,268,175 (54.0%) to $12,167,406 from
$7,899,231 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 recent operational difficulties experienced in 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.  The Company anticipates that pDEXA sales in Japan will decline
further in the third quarter.  Sales in Japan and the United States represented
31.7% and 43.1%, respectively, of total revenue for the three months ended June
30, 1996 and 62.1% and 7.2%, respectively, of total revenue for the three months
ended June 30, 1995.  Sales in Japan and the United States represented 40.0% and
36.8%, respectively, of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and
71.6% and 6.7%, respectively, of total revenue for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  Sales of complete bone densitometry systems represented 94.1% and 96.0%
of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively, and 93.6% and 94.6% of total revenues for the six months ended
June 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 63.0% and 68.7% for the three
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, resulting in a gross margin
of 37.0% for the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to 31.3% for the
comparable period of 1995.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 64.1%
and 67.7% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
resulting in a gross margin of 35.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1996
compared to 32.3% for the comparable period of 1995.  The increases in gross
margin are attributed primarily to second 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.  A portion of
such margin on the Company's other products is paid to the manufacturers.

Sales and marketing expense increased $596,343 (207.9%) to $883,172 for the
three months ended June 30, 1996 from $286,829 for the three months ended June
30, 1995, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.7% from 7.2%.  Sales
and marketing expense increased $837,138 (134.7%) to $1,458,520 for the six
month period ended June 30, 1996 from $621,382 for the six months ended June 30,
1995, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.0% from 7.9%.  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 expenses of Dove for the second quarter of 1996.

General and administrative expense increased $422,857 (247.0%) to $594,056 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $171,199 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 8.6% from 4.3%.
General and administrative expense increased $503,120 (126.8%) to $899,772 for
the six months period ended June 30,1996 from $396,652 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 7.4% from 5.0%.  The
increases were primarily due to increased expenses of new and existing
personnel, legal, accounting and other expenses attributable to the Company
being a public company, and the inclusion of Dove's operations for the second
quarter of 1996.

Other income in 1996 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.  Other income in 1995 consisted primarily of interest earned on
cash balances which was reduced by charges and other fees related to bank
transfers.

The provision for taxes for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased by
$187,340 (57.6%) to $512,458 from $325,118 for the three months ended June 30,
1995.  The provision for taxes for the six months ended June 30, 1996 increased
by $360,753 (57.7%) to $985,458 from $624,705 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.  The Company has provided for income taxes at its current effective tax
rate of 40.6% for both the three months and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
1995.  The increases were entirely due to the relative increase in income before
taxes.

The Company had net income of $750,057 for the three months ended June 30, 1996
compared to net income of $475,666 for the three months ended June 30, 1995, an
increase of $274,391 (57.7%).  The Company had net income of $1,441,313 for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to net income of $913,977 for the six
months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of $527,336 (57.7%).  The increases were
due primarily to increased sales and interest earned on cash balances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash decreased $7,542,167 to $11,676,698 in the six months ended June 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, accounts receivable increasing $3.8 million and
the payment of $1.9 million in corporate income taxes.

The Company's accounts receivable increased 80.0% to $8,554,926 at June 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 June 30, 1996, the largest balance, 41.6% 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 June 30, 1996
consisted of computer and telephone equipment and a management information
system that were obtained during 1996.  Other capital expenditures in 1996 are
expected to include continued improvements to leased facilities and information
systems.  The Company may also purchase additional systems in 1996 for its
short-term rental and pay-per-scan programs and as demonstration systems.  In
addition, the Company expects to provide additional financing under its Product
Development Loan Agreement with Norland Corporation and Stratec Medizintechnik
GmbH.

In June of 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission with respect to the offering of 2,250,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock.  As a result of the general stock market decline and the
decline in the price of the Company's Common Stock since June, the Company
determined that it was not in the Company's best interests to proceed with the
offering and requested that the registration statement be withdrawn.  The
Company will recognize expenses incurred with respect to this offering in the
third quarter of 1996.

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.
