                            NORLAND MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.
                 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     (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 audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 1996, and included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 31, 1997 and amended by Form
10-K/A filed on July 10, 1997.  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 financial statements included herein are unaudited
but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of
normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows for these interim
periods.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.

(2)  INVENTORIES

As of September 30, 1997, inventories consist of the following:

          Raw materials, product kits,
            spare parts and sub-assemblies        $ 450,306
          Work in progress                          540,356
          Rental systems, net of accumulated
            amortization of $37,958                 206,894
          Finished goods                          1,934,821
                                                 ----------

                                                 $3,132,377
                                                 ==========

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market; cost is determined
principally by the first-in, first-out method.

Systems used in the Company's short-term rental program are carried in inventory
at cost less amortization expense calculated on a straight-line basis over
thirty-six months.

(3)  DEMONSTRATION SYSTEMS INVENTORY

The Company maintains an inventory of demonstration systems used for marketing
and customer service purposes.  Such systems are carried 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 systems inventory
at cost less amortization expense calculated on a straight-line basis over
thirty-six months.

(4)  DOVE MEDICAL SYSTEMS

On April 2, 1996, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Dove
Medical Systems (Dove) and a certain patent and other intangible assets owned by
the Dove majority shareholder and certain other investors.  The Company paid
consideration of $6,911,529, consisting of $3,600,000 in cash and 161,538 shares
of the Company Common Stock valued at $3,311,529.  The acquisition was accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting, and, accordingly, the purchase
price was allocated to the assets purchased and the liabilities assumed based on
the fair values at the date of acquisition.  The excess purchase price over the
fair values of the net assets was $3,308,011 and was recorded as goodwill.  In
accordance with the Company's accounting policy for intangible assets,
management evaluates on an ongoing basis the Company's ability to recover the
carrying value of its intangible assets.  In response to the increasing
dominance of the peripheral bone densitometry market by DXA technology, the
Company initiated a plan in September 1997 to close Dove's Newbury Park
facility, write-off inventories and fixed assets and discontinue use of the Dove
technology and patent.  In addition, management has estimated the future cash
flows expected to result from the use of the goodwill, patent and other
intangible assets associated with Dove and concluded that expected cash flows
will not enable the Company to recover any of the remaining carrying value.  The
patent and intangible assets are not expected to have any future alternative
use.  Therefore, the Company has taken a $6,188,143 charge for their write-off
that is included in the $9,000,000 non-recurring charge taken with respect to
Dove in the period ended September 30, 1997.

(5)  ACQUISITION OF NORLAND CORPORATION

On September 11, 1997, the Company acquired Norland Corporation in a transaction
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  The condensed
consolidated financial statements reflect the acquisition of all of the issued
and outstanding stock of Norland Corporation for $17.5 million from the date of
acquisition.  The $17.5 million consideration consists of a $1,250,000 cash
payment made on September 11, 1997 and a $16,250,000 Purchase Note (the "Note")
bearing interest at the rate of 7% per annum which is payable quarterly
beginning September 30, 1997.  A $1,250,000 portion of the Note principal is
payable in cash on March 11, 1998, and the remaining principal is due and
payable on September 11, 2002.  The Company may prepay the Note at any time, pay
the principal


                                         -8-

(except for the $1,250,000 payment due March 11, 1998) with shares of Company
Common Stock valued at the time of payment and extend the September 11, 2002
maturity date by up to two years.  The Note is collateralized by a pledge of the
shares of Norland Corporation.  An additional purchase price of up to $2.5
million may be required based on the level of the Company's 1997 revenues to be
determined following the completion of the audit of the Company's financial
statements for the year ending December 31, 1997.  For each full $1,000,000 of
1997 revenues above $32,000,000, the purchase price will be increased by
$312,500 (up to the maximum increase of $2.5 million).  Any additional purchase
price would be paid by an additional note, the terms of which would be identical
to the Note except for the principal payment due March 11, 1998.

In accordance with Accounting Principals Board Opinion No. 21, "Interest on
Receivables and Payables", the Note has been fair valued as of September 11,
1997 using a market interest rate of 8.18%, which resulted in the establishment
of a $727,539 note discount that is being amortized using the effective interest
method over the Note's five year term. The purchase price has been allocated as
follows:

          Purchase price, net of Note discount of $727,539       $16,772,461
          Net liabilities assumed                                    210,790
          In-process research and development charge              (7,900,000)
          Deferred income tax liability                              295,381
          Acquisition costs                                          859,767
                                                                 -----------
          Goodwill                                               $10,238,399
                                                                 ===========

Acquisition costs are primarily legal, accounting and investment banking 
fees, as well as certain settlement costs in connection with stockholder 
litigation stemming from the acquisition (see Note 8), all of which are 
directly related to the transaction.  In connection with the acquisition of 
Norland Corporation on September 11, 1997, certain research and development 
projects acquired were not at a stage in which technological feasibility had 
been achieved and were determined to have no alternative future use.  
Accordingly, $7,900,000 of the purchase price was allocated to this 
in-process research and development and expensed as a non-recurring charge in 
the period ended September 30, 1997.  The goodwill is being amortized using 
the straight-line method over fifteen years.  If any additional purchase 
price is required, such amount, when determined, will be recorded as 
additional goodwill.

The following table reflects pro forma unaudited consolidated operating results
of the Company and Norland Corporation assuming the acquisition had been made as
of January 1, 1996:

                                   Nine Months Ended           Year Ended
                                   September 30, 1997       December 31, 1996
                                   ------------------       -----------------
                                       (Unaudited)             (Unaudited)

     Revenues                      $19,204,538              $24,958,654
     Net income (loss)              (8,100,000)               2,900,000
     Earnings (loss) per share     $     (1.12)             $      0.40

These unaudited pro forma results have been prepared for comparative purposes
only and include certain adjustments to give effect to amortization of the
goodwill and certain other adjustments, together with related income tax
effects, and excludes the write-off of in-process research and development.  The
unaudited pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of either the
results of operations that would have occurred had the acquisition been made on
January 1, 1996 or that may occur in the future.

(6)  OTHER NON-RECURRING CHARGES

The Company recorded other non-recurring charges in the quarter ended September
30, 1997 of $10,562,540 consisting of the following:

          Reorganization of Dove Medical Systems                 $ 9,000,000
          Inventory write-off                                      1,460,735
          Costs to acquire ultrasound distribution rights            101,805
                                                                 -----------
                                                                 $10,562,540

In September 1997, the Company initiated a plan to reorganize its Dove Medical
Systems subsidiary including the closure of the Newbury Park facility and
write-off of inventories, fixed assets, goodwill, a patent and other intangible
assets, resulting in a $9,000,000 non-recurring charge (See Note 4).  With the
acquisition of Norland Corporation, including its ongoing research and
development projects, management determined that the Company's inventory of bone
densitometry systems used for demonstration and customer service purposes had no
future value and recognized a $1,460,375 non-recurring charge for their
write-off.  In August 1997, the Company acquired distribution rights to an
ultrasound product developed by IMRO, Inc..  A $101,805 non-recurring charge was
taken for costs incurred in connection with the selection of an ultrasound
product.

In the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a non-recurring
stock offering charge of $397,697, or 3 cents per share, in connection with a
withdrawn stock offering.

(7)  NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

Primary income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) 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.

(8)  LITIGATION

A shareholder's class action and derivative complaint entitled IRWIN J. MILLER
V. REYNALD G. BONMATI ET. AL. DEFENDANTS, AND NORLAND MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.,
NOMINAL DEFENDANT was filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware on
August 1, 1997, against four members of the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Individual Defendants"), Norland Medical Systems B.V. ("NMS BV"), and the
Company.  The action relates to the acquisition (the "Acquisition") 
by the Company from NMS BV of all the outstanding stock of Norland Corporation. 
The complaint alleged that the Individual Defendants breached their fiduciary
duties of loyalty, candor and care in connection with the Acquisition, and that
the Company's proxy statement relating to the Acquisition did not contain full
and fair disclosure with respect to the Acquisition.  Plaintiff sought, among
other things: to enjoin the consummation of the Acquisition; to require that the
Company make additional disclosures to its stockholders in connection with the
Acquisition; damages in unspecified amounts; and costs, disbursements and
counsel and expert fees.  An agreement in principle was reached to settle this
action.  The plaintiff withdrew his application for a preliminary injunction. 
The Acquisition was approved by the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting
of Stockholders on September 8, 1997, and the Acquisition was consummated on
September 11, 1997.  A definitive Stipulation of Settlement has been executed. 
The Stipulation of Settlement is subject to approval by the Delaware Court of
Chancery.

Robert L. Piccioni, a former director of the Company, and Joan Piccioni, the
former President of the Company's Dove Medical Systems, Inc. ("Dove")
subsidiary, filed suit against the Company and Norland Corporation in the United
States District Court for the Central District of California on October 9, 1997.
The action was commenced shortly after the Company made claims for
indemnification from Dr. and Mrs. Piccioni and certain other former stockholders
of Dove in connection with the Company's acquisition of Dove in April of 1996. 
The Piccionis allege breach of contract and fraud by the Company in connection
with the acquisition of Dove, claim they suffered damages in excess of
$2,500,000 and seek the release of the portion of the purchase price paid for
Dove that is held in escrow to be available to satisfy indemnity obligations of
the Piccionis and such other former stockholders of Dove to the Company.  The
Company believes that this action is without merit and, accordingly, believes
that there will be no adverse material effect on the Company's results of
operations, cash flows or financial position.

(9)  FUTURE IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" changes
the reporting requirements for earnings per share (EPS) for publicly traded
companies by replacing primary EPS with basic EPS and changing the disclosures
associated with this change.  The Company is required to adopt this standard in
the fourth quarter of 1997 and does not expect a material impact on its per
share results from the implementation of this standard.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive
Income" requires that comprehensive income and its components be reported in the
financial statements.  The Company is required to adopt this standard in 1998
and is currently evaluating this standard.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131 "Disclosures About Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information" requires that publicly traded
companies report financial and descriptive information about its reportable
operating segments.  The Company is required to adopt this standard in 1998 and
anticipates that the adoption of this standard will not have an effect on the
current presentation of such information.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION OF THE FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF
THE COMPANY SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND THE
RELATED NOTES THERETO INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS REPORT.  THE FOLLOWING
DISCUSSION CONTAINS FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH INVOLVE RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED IN THE INTRODUCTION TO THE COMPANY'S
ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996.  SUCH
INTRODUCTION IS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE.  THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS
COULD DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE ANTICIPATED IN THESE FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS AS A RESULT OF CERTAIN FACTORS.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 1997 decreased $1,706,345
(21.2%) to $6,360,537 from $8,066,882 for the comparable period of 1996. 
Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 decreased $742,842 (3.7%)
to $19,491,446 from $20,234,288 for the comparable period in 1996.  The decrease
in sales for the third quarter of 1997 compared to the third quarter of 1996 was
largely a result of a decrease in sales in the Pacific Rim and the United
States, offset by an increase in sales to Europe and Latin America.  The
decrease in sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to
sales for the nine month period in 1996 was largely a result of a decrease in
sales in the Pacific Rim and to Japan in particular, offset by increases in
sales to the United States (for the first six months), Europe and Latin America.
Sales in the United States have been affected by Medicare reimbursement rates,
as discussed below.  Sales in Japan declined due in part to increased
competition, reductions in reimbursement for certain densitometry tests in Japan
and the effects of operational difficulties experienced with pDEXA units during
part of 1996.  The Company believes that these operational difficulties have
been addressed.  Sales in the United States and Japan represented 86.0% and
2.4%, respectively, of total revenue for the three months ended September 30,
1997 and 71.2% and 10.1%, respectively, of total revenue for the three months
ended September 30, 1996.  Sales in the United States and Japan represented
77.9% and 2.0%, respectively, of total revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997, and 50.5% and 28.0%, respectively, of total revenue for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996.  Sales of complete bone densitometry
systems represented 90.3% and 95.1% of total revenue for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and 91.2% and 94.2% of total revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  Sales of
parts and services and rental income comprised the balance of revenues for such
periods.

Revenues have been affected by changes in the Medicare reimbursement rates for
bone densitometry tests.  In November 1996 the Health Care Financing
Administration (HCFA) announced changes for 1997 that significantly reduced the
reimbursement rate for peripheral bone densitometry tests.  The Company reduced
the price of its pDEXA peripheral systems in the fourth quarter of 1996, and
since that time, the mix of the Company's product revenue has 


                                         -13-

<PAGE>

changed.  A majority of the Company's revenues in 1997 has been derived from
sales of the larger Eclipse and XR36 systems for which the Medicare
reimbursement rate was not significantly reduced, as compared to the pDEXA
system.  In June 1997 HCFA published proposed changes for 1998 that would have
increased the reimbursement rate for peripheral systems and significantly
reduced the rate for the larger systems.  Sales of the Company's peripheral
systems increased significantly in the quarter ended September 30, 1997, and
sales of the larger systems declined. The increased sales of the lower priced
peripheral systems did not fully compensate for the revenue loss resulting from
the decreased sales of the larger systems.  HCFA recently announced the final
reimbursement rates for 1998.  The rate for peripheral DXA tests was increased
by an amount in excess of the increase proposed in June.  The proposed
significant reduction in the rate for the larger systems was not adopted. 
Instead, the rate was increased by approximately 9% over the 1997 rate. 
Revenues and the mix of products sold are expected to continue to be influenced
by the relative degree of difference in reimbursement rate levels for peripheral
systems.  They will also be influenced by the Company's ability to bring to the
market lower cost peripheral systems that can be operated more profitably by end
users at the applicable reimbursement rates.

Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue was 46.9% and 67.1% for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, resulting in a gross
margin of 53.1% for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to 32.9%
for the comparable period of 1996.  Cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue
was 53.4% and 65.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, resulting in a gross margin of 46.6% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 compared to 34.7% for the comparable period of 1996.  The
increase in gross margin is primarily attributed to the impact of price
reductions under the Distribution Agreement with Norland Corporation and Stratec
Medizintechnik GmbH which became effective during the fourth quarter of 1996 and
the Company's acquisition of Norland Corporation on September 11, 1997,
following which the Company received the entire margin on systems manufactured
by Norland Corporation.

Sales and marketing expense increased $574,032 (61.0%) to $1,515,775 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $941,743 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, and increased as a percentage of revenue to 23.8% from
11.7%.  Sales and marketing expense increased $1,795,859 (74.8%) to $4,196,122
for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 from $2,400,263 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, and increased as a percentage of revenue to
21.5% from 11.9%.  The dollar increases were primarily due to increased expenses
of new sales and marketing personnel, the cost of expanded marketing efforts,
and increased expenses related to customer service.

General and administrative expense increased $267,868 (53.8%) to $765,574 for
the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $497,706 for the three months
ended September 30, 1996 and increased as a percentage of revenue to 12.0% from
6.2%.  General and administrative expense increased $695,713 (53.9%) to
$1,986,856 for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 from $1,291,143
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, and increased as a 


                                         -14-

<PAGE>

percentage of revenue to 10.2% from 6.4%.  The dollar increases were primarily
due to expenses of new personnel and increased expenses of existing personnel
and professional fees.

Research and development expense increased $70,906 (75.0%) to $165,502 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $94,596 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, and also increased as a percentage of revenue to 2.6% from
1.2%.  Research and development expense increased $152,358 (75.8%) to $353,289
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $200,931 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, and also increased as a percentage of revenue to 1.8%
from 1.0%.  The dollar increases are primarily the result of the inclusion of
research and development expenses of Norland Corporation following the Company's
acquisition of Norland Corporation on September 11, 1997. 

The Company recognized non-recurring charges of $18,462,540 and $397,697 in the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  For the three
months ended September 30, 1997, the following non-recurring charges were taken.
In connection with the acquisition of Norland Corporation, certain research and
development projects acquired were not at a stage in which technological
feasibility had been achieved and were determined to have no alternative future
use.  Accordingly, $7,900,000 of the purchase price was allocated to this
in-process research and development and expensed.  With the acquisition of
Norland Corporation, including its ongoing research and development projects,
management determined that the Company's inventory of bone densitometers used
for demonstration and customer service purposes had no future value and
recognized a $1,460,375 non-recurring charge for their write-off.  In response
to the increasing dominance of the peripheral bone densitometry market by DXA
technology, the Company closed the Newbury Park facility of its Dove Medical
Systems subsidiary and recorded a $9 million write-off of inventories, fixed
assets, goodwill, a patent and other intangible assets, having concluded that
expected cash flows will not enable the Company to recover any of the remaining
carrying value.  In August 1997, the Company acquired distribution rights to an
ultrasound product developed by IMRO Inc. and recorded a $101,805 non-recurring
charge for costs incurred in connection with the selection of an ultrasound
product.  In the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Company recorded a
non-recurring stock offering charge of $397,697 in connection with a withdrawn
stock offering. 

Interest expense of $66,096 for the three months ended September 30, 1997
represents interest on the Purchase Note issued by the Company in connection
with the acquisition of Norland Corporation on September 11, 1997.  Interest
income in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
consisted primarily of interest earned on the proceeds of the Company's initial
public offering and on other cash and loan balances, reduced by other expenses
consisting primarily of bank charges and other fees related to bank transfers. 
The decrease in interest income in the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to September 30, 1996 reflects reduced interest
income resulting from utilization of such offering proceeds.


                                         -15-

<PAGE>

The Company recognized an income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as a result of the tax benefit derived from certain of the
non-recurring charges recorded during the quarter ended September 30, 1997.  No
deferred tax valuation allowance is deemed necessary as a result of management's
evaluation that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.  

The Company had a net loss of $15,466,142 ($2.15 per share) for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to net income of $515,335 ($0.07 per share)
for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The Company had a net loss of
$14,361,386 ($2.00 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 1997
compared to net income of $1,956,647 ($0.27 per share) for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  The non-recurring charges of $18,462,540 ($2.23 per share)
recognized in the quarter ended September 30, 1997 reduced net income on an
after tax basis by $16,025,926.  Excluding the after tax effect of this charge,
net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 would be $559,784 ($0.08 per
share) and net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 would be
$1,665,073 ($0.23 per share), representing decreases of 25.5% and 24.1%,
respectively, over the comparable periods in 1996 (also excluding the 1996
non-recurring charge).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash of $8,133,468 and a $1,949,039 U.S.
Treasury bill.  The Treasury bill was converted to cash during the quarter ended
June 30, 1997.  At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash of $2,385,127.  The
decrease in cash was primarily the result of increased accounts receivable,
decreased accounts payable, increased inventories, and costs related to the
acquisition of Norland Corporation, including the $1,250,000 payment made at
closing.

The Company's accounts receivable increased 48.3% to $13,615,546 at September
30, 1997 from $9,182,488 at December 31, 1996, which reflects less prompt
payment by the Company's customers.  At September 30, 1997, the two largest
balances, 20.1% and 9.8% of total outstanding trade receivables, were owed by
two U.S. distributors.

Property and equipment as of September 30, 1997 consisted of computer and
telephone equipment, a management information system, office furniture and
improvements to leased facilities.  At the present time, no significant
expenditures for additional equipment or systems are planned.

On March 11, 1998 the Company will be obligated to make a $1,250,000 principal
payment on the Purchase Note issued as part of the purchase price for Norland
Corporation.  Interest payments will range from approximately $265,000 to
$300,000 per quarter, depending upon the final amount of the purchase price.

The Company's operations have been financed primarily by cash flow from
operations and the proceeds of its initial public offering.  The Company plans
to finance its operations for the next twelve months from its current cash
position and cash flow from operations, as well as from other sources, including
borrowing arrangements and/or proceeds of stock offerings.  In addition, the
nature of the Company's business is such that it is subject to changes in
technology, government approval and regulation, and changes in third-party
reimbursement in the United States and numerous foreign markets.  Significant
changes in one or more of these factors in a major market for the Company's
products could significantly affect the Company's cash needs.

PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

          IRWIN I. MILLER V. REYNALD G. BONMATI ET AL., DEFENDANTS, AND NORLAND
          MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC., NOMINAL DEFENDANT.

          This action relates to the acquisition of Norland Corporation by the
          Company.  The commencement of this action in the Delaware Court of
          Chancery was reported in the Company's Form 8-K filed August 8, 1997. 
          The Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 reported
          that an agreement in principle had been reached to settle the action
          and that the plaintiff had withdrawn his application for a preliminary
          injunction against the acquisition.  The acquisition was approved by
          the Company's stockholders at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on
          September 8, 1997, and the acquisition was consummated on September
          11, 1997.  A definitive Stipulation of Settlement has been executed. 
          The terms of the settlement are the same as those of the agreement in
          principle that were summarized in the Company's Supplement to Proxy
          Statement dated August 28, 1997, including the payment by the Company
          of any award of fees and expenses of plaintiff's counsel up to
          $250,000.  The Stipulation of Settlement is subject to approval by the
          Delaware Court of Chancery.

          ROBERT L. PICCIONI, PH.D. AND JOAN PICCIONI V. NORLAND MEDICAL
          SYSTEMS, INC. AND NORLAND CORP.

          Robert L. Piccioni, a former director of the Company, and Joan
          Piccioni, the former President of the Company's Dove Medical Systems,
          Inc. ("Dove") subsidiary, filed suit against the Company and Norland
          Corporation in the United States District Court for the Central
          District of California on October 9, 1997.  The action was commenced
          shortly after the Company made claims for indemnification from Dr. and
          Mrs. Piccioni and certain other former stockholders of Dove in
          connection with the Company's acquisition of Dove in April of 1996. 
          The Piccionis allege breach of contract and fraud by the Company in
          connection with the acquisition of Dove, claim they suffered damages
          in excess of $2,500,000 and seek the release of the portion of the
          purchase price paid for Dove that is held in escrow to be available to
          satisfy indemnity obligation of the Piccionis and such other former
          stockholders of Dove to the Company.  The Company believes that the
          Piccionis' action is without merit.

              (1)  PREFERRED STOCK

              Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more
    series, each such series to have such terms as stated or expressed in the
    resolution or resolutions providing for the issue of such series adopted by
    the Board of Directors of the Corporation as hereinafter provided.  Any

    the Corporation may be reissued except as otherwise provided by law or by
    action of the Board of Directors.  Different series of Preferred Stock
    shall not be construed to constitute different classes of shares for the
    purpose of voting by classes unless expressly provided.

              Authority is hereby expressly granted to the Board of Directors
    from time to time to issue Preferred Stock in one or more series, and in
    connection with the creation of any such series, by resolution or
    resolutions providing for the issue of shares thereof, to determine and fix
    such voting powers, full or limited, or no voting powers, and such
    designations, preferences and relative participating, optional or other
    special rights, and qualifications, limitation or restrictions thereof,
    including without limitations thereof, dividend rights, conversion rights,
    redemption privileges and liquidation preferences, as shall be stated and
    expressed in such resolutions, all to the full extent now or hereafter
    permitted by the General Corporation Law of Delaware.  Without limiting the
    generality of the foregoing, the resolutions providing for the issuance of
    any series of Preferred Stock may provide that such series shall be
    superior or rank equally or be junior to the Common Stock or any other
    series of Preferred Stock.  No vote of the holders of the Common Stock or
    Preferred Stock shall, unless otherwise provided herein or in the
    resolutions creating any particular series of Preferred Stock, be a
    prerequisite to the issuance of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock
    authorized by and complying with the conditions of this Certificate of
    Incorporation.

         (2)  COMMON STOCK

              Subject to the rights of the holders of the Preferred Stock, the
    Common Stock shall be entitled to dividends out of funds legally available
    therefor, when, as and if declared and paid to the holders of Common Stock,
    and upon liquidation of the Corporation to share ratably in the assets of
    the Corporation available for distribution to the holders of Common Stock. 
    Except as otherwise provided herein or by law, the holders of Common Stock
    shall have full voting rights and powers and each share of Common Stock
    shall be entitled to one vote.

              FIFTH:    The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to
    adopt, amend or repeal By-Laws, subject to the reserved power of the
    stockholders to amend and repeal any By-Laws adopted by the Board of
    Directors.


                                          3

<PAGE>

              SIXTH:    Unless and except to the extent that the By-Laws shall
    so require, the election of directors of the Corporation need not be by
    written ballot.

              SEVENTH:  Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed
    between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or
    between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any
    court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the
    application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or
    stockholder thereof, or on the application of any receiver or receivers
    appointed for this Corporation under Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware
    Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or
    receivers appointed for this Corporation under Section 279 of Title 8 of
    the Delaware Code, order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors,
    and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as
    the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. 
    If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the
    creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of
    stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agree to any
    compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of this Corporation as
    a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or
    arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court
    to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the
    creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of
    stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this
    Corporation.

              EIGHTH:   No person who is or was a director of the Corporation
    shall be personally liable to the Corporation for monetary damages for
    breach of fiduciary duty as a director unless, and only to the extent that,
    such director is liable (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
    loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions
    not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
    violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the General Corporation Law of
    the State of Delaware or any amendment thereto or successor provision
    thereto, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an
    improper personal benefit.  No amendment to, repeal or adoption of any
    provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this
    article shall apply to or have any effect on the liability of any director
    of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such
    director occurring prior to such amendment, repeal, or adoption of an
    inconsistent provision.

              NINTH:    Any and all right, title, interest and claim in or to
    any dividends declared by the Corporation, whether in cash, stock or
    otherwise, which are unclaimed by the stockholder entitled thereto for a
    period of six (6) years after the close of business on the payment date,
    shall be and be deemed to be extinguished and abandoned, and such unclaimed
    dividends in the possession of the Corporation, its transfer agents or
    other agents or depositaries, shall at such time become the absolute 


                                          4
