         On September 11, 1997, Norland Medical Systems, Inc. (the "Company")
purchased (the "Acquisition") all of the issued and outstanding stock of Norland
Corporation ("Norland Corp.") from Norland Medical Systems B.V. ("NMS BV"). The
purchase price for the Norland Corp. stock was $17,500,000, consisting of (a)
$1,250,000 cash paid to NMS BV at closing and (b) a 7% promissory note issued by
the Company to NMS BV. The Company had the right to pay principal of the note by
delivering shares of the Common Stock, par value $.0005 per share, of the
Company ("Common Stock"), valued at the average closing prices for the five
trading days preceding the payment date. The Acquisition was the subject of an
ongoing litigation in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle
County. On December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a settlement agreement
with respect to this litigation. In connection with the settlement, the purchase
price of the Norland Corp. stock was reduced to $8,700,000. The 7% promissory
note was reduced by $8,800,000, an additional $1,890,000 of principal was paid
by the Company delivering 7,000,000 shares of Common Stock to NMS BV valued at
the five day average closing price formula referred to above ($.27 per share),
and a new 6 1/2% promissory note in the principal amount of $5,560,000 was
issued to NMS BV (the "Amended Note").

         In March, 1999, the Company exercised its right to pay an additional
$4,310,000 of principal of the Amended Note by the issuance of 11,122,580 shares
of the Company's Common Stock ($.39 per share). These 11,122,580 shares, when
added to the shares then outstanding and reserved for issuance exceeded the
Company's 20,000,000 authorized shares of Common Stock by 6,534,111 shares.
Accordingly, the Company issued 4,588,469 of such 11,122,580 shares. Issuance of
the remaining 6,534,111 shares was subject to stockholder approval of an
increase in the amount of the Company's authorized Common Stock at the 1999
annual meeting. The increase in authorized stock was approved at the
stockholders' meeting held on June 2, 1999, and on June 8, 1999 the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation was amended to increase the amount of authorized
Common Stock to 45,000,000 shares. The 11,122,580 shares issued in partial
payment of the Amended Note and 6,000,000 of the 7,000,000 shares issued in
December are held by Norland Partners, L.P. ("Norland Partners"), and Bones,
L.L.C. ("Bones"), stockholders of NMS BV. Of the remaining 1,000,000 shares, NMS
BV holds 500,000 shares, and 500,000 shares were transferred by NMS BV to former
shareholders of NMS BV in partial consideration for the termination of their
interests in NMS BV.
