					PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
                                       GENERAL

Survival Technology, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "STI")
is a technology-based health care company that designs, develops and produces a
broad range of automatic injectors ("auto-injectors"), prefilled syringes and
other innovative health care devices, with a major focus on safe and convenient
participation by the patient in injection therapy.  The Company also supplies
customized drug delivery system design, pharmaceutical research and development
and GMP-approved sterile product manufacturing to pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies.  The Company's products and services are designed to
improve the medical and economic value of drug therapy.

On September 11, 1996, the Company and Brunswick Biomedical Corporation
("Brunswick"), a privately-held medical device company and holder of 61% of the
Company's outstanding common stock, entered into an agreement and plan of merger
providing for the merger of Brunswick with and into the Company.  It is
anticipated that the merger will be consummated during the fall of 1996.  For
additional information regarding the terms of the merger, see the Company's
definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders for the fiscal
year ended July 31, 1996.

The Company pioneered the development of auto-injectors for the
self-administration of injectable drugs.  An auto-injector is a spring-loaded,
prefilled, pen-like device that allows a patient to automatically inject a
precise drug dosage quickly, safely, reliably and without seeing the needle.
One early application of auto-injectors has been the immediate self-injection of
nerve gas antidotes by military personnel under battlefield conditions.  STI is
and intends to remain a key supplier of nerve gas antidotes to the U.S. and
allied military forces.  Auto-injectors also can be used effectively for
emergency administration of drugs or to facilitate the easy administration of
injectable drugs in any setting.  The Company believes that auto-injectors help
to reduce the fear of injection, simplify the injection procedure, ensure
complete dose delivery, increase patient compliance and allow for cost-effective
home health care treatment.

The Company currently has three commercial applications for its auto-injectors.
One is an auto-injector for the self-injection of epinephrine to treat severe
allergic reactions due to bee stings, insect bites, foods and other allergies.
The second is an auto-injector for the self-injection of lidocaine to treat
cardiac arrhythmias.  The third application is a morphine-filled auto-injector
for use in home health care pain management.  The Company currently is
developing several new auto-injectors (See "Research and Development") including
some that will accommodate additional categories of drugs, while others will
make auto-injectors more convenient and less expensive.  The Company, together
with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, currently is exploring
additional applications for auto-injectors.

The Company also offers ready-to-use prefilled syringes and vials, including its
proprietary CartrixTM syringe system.  STI invented and manufactures the
CytoGuard-Registered Trademark-Aerosol Protection Device, a vial attachment used
to protect medical professionals from inadvertent exposure to potentially
dangerous drugs during reconstitution, particularly chemotherapeutics.

The following table sets forth the proportion of the Company's total revenues
contributed by each of its classes of products and services for the last five
fiscal years.

(1) The Company's Medical Device Division was sold July 31, 1994 (See Note 5 in
    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).
(2) The Company has no significant foreign operations and operates in one
    industry segment.  Reference is made to the three-year Consolidated
    Statements of Income and Note 13 in Notes to Consolidated Financial
    Statements included herein pursuant to Part II of this Form 10-K for
    information concerning the Company's export sales and major customers.

The Company was incorporated in 1969 under the laws of Delaware.



                                PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

The Company's principal activities include: the development and production of
automatic injector products including applications of injector technology for
commercial use (emergency and non-emergency situations) where intramuscular or
subcutaneous injection is the preferred method of drug delivery and for military
use in the defense against chemical warfare; and complete sterile parenteral
contract filling and packaging services for a broad range of sterile injectable
dosage forms: vials, dental cartridges and pre-filled, ready-to-use syringes.
The Company also supplies delivery system design and pharmaceutical research and
development to major pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

The Company purchases, in the ordinary course of business, necessary raw
materials and supplies essential to the Company's operations from numerous
suppliers in the U.S. and overseas.  During fiscal 1996, the Company experienced
some temporary component supply issues which have since been resolved.  The
Company does not anticipate availability problems or significant supply
shortages in the future.  The Company procures inventory principally when
supported by customer purchase orders and does not provide extended payment
terms to any customer.

                                 AUTOMATIC INJECTORS

STI pioneered the use of auto-injectors beginning in the late 1950's when a
predecessor of the Company invented the auto-injector for military use.  The
Company's auto-injectors are disposable, prefilled automatic syringes with which
a medically untrained person can quickly inject himself or another person with a
drug.  To date, auto-injectors have been used in life-threatening situations.
However, the Company believes that their use can be extended from such
situations to the self-administered treatment of both acute and chronic
conditions in any setting.

COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS. Currently, the Company's principal commercial
auto-injectors are the EpiPen-Registered Trademark- and EpiE-ZPenTM
auto-injectors.  The EpiPen and EpiE-ZPen are prescribed to patients at risk of
anaphylaxis resulting from severe allergic reactions to bee stings, insect
bites, foods, drugs and other substances as well as exercise-induced
anaphylaxis.  These auto-injectors permit the immediate self-injection of
epinephrine, the drug of choice for emergency treatment of such conditions.
Each of these auto-injectors has a junior variation with a pediatric/
adolescent dosage of epinephrine.

During fiscal 1996, the Company launched the EpiE-ZPen, which is the first in a
series of new commercial auto-injector products now in development at STI.  The
EpiE-ZPen has a more streamlined design to better serve the consumer market with
additional safety features and product quality enhancements.  This new product
features a locking twist-top safety cap and push button activation.  The Company
introduced this new product during the third quarter of its fiscal 1996 while
continuing to sell the EpiPen. The EpiE-ZPen will be positioned to expand its
use in the U.S. and international markets for food allergy indications.

The Company's epinephrine product line has historically been a seasonal product
(spring/summer) used predominately for the treatment of severe allergic
reactions from bee stings and insect bites.  The Company markets the EpiPen and
EpiE-ZPen through Center Laboratories, Inc. ("Center"), a subsidiary of E.
Merck.  The Company's exclusive marketing contract with Center, which extends
until the year 2000 so long as certain minimum quantity requirements are met, is
currently being amended to extend to the year 2010.  Center has a co-marketing
agreement with ALK, Inc., a Danish Company, for international markets
representing 13 countries abroad.  During fiscal 1996, ALK launched the EpiPen
within the United Kingdom.  Epinephrine product line sales accounted for $11.2
million (36%), $9.8 million (38%) and $8.3 million (33%) of the Company's total
revenues in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company is the leading manufacturer of automatic injectors used for
emergency self-administration of epinephrine.  These products compete with other
available products for self-administration of epinephrine which are
non-automatic.  Since their introduction in 1980, the Company has manufactured
and delivered 5.1 million EpiPens and EpiPen, Jr's.  The senior version of the
epinephrine product line has a 27-month expiration date while the junior version
has a 20-month expiration date and should be replaced after that time.

                                          7


The Company also produces the LidoPen-Registered Trademark- auto-injector which
is the same delivery system as the EpiPen, except that it is prefilled with
lidocaine hydrochloride for self- injection by persons experiencing a serious
cardiac event.  The LidoPen is sold primarily in connection with the sale of the
CardioBeeper-Registered Trademark- ECG transmitter previously sold by the
Company.  These sales have not been a significant source of revenue.  STI will
continue to supply the LidoPen auto-injector to Brunswick Biomedical Corporation
under the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 31, 1994.  See Note 5
in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

STI has a licensing agreement and long-term supply arrangement with Mylan
Laboratories ("Mylan") for the development and production of an injectable,
non-narcotic prescription drug for the management of pain.  Under the terms of
this agreement, STI will develop, license and produce this new product, which
will be marketed by Mylan to family physicians, neurologists, pain specialists,
hospitals, and health maintenance organizations.  The introduction is expected
in fiscal 1998 pending FDA approval.

On August 30, 1996, the Company entered into a Development and License Agreement
with a European based, global pharmaceutical company for the continuing
development and long-term supply of their prescription drug in an STI
auto-injector.  This new contract is an extension of an initial development
agreement which was completed in fiscal 1996.  The product is currently in phase
III clinical trials and will be introduced upon successful completion of
clinical trials and subsequent FDA approval.

The Company is currently working with other pharmaceutical companies under
development contracts to identify other drugs presently in sterile injectable
dosage forms suitable for administration using STI's proprietary auto-injector
delivery systems.

MILITARY PRODUCTS.  The Company's military contracts are for two types of
auto-injectors developed by the Company.  One type, the AtroPen, is capable of
holding up to 0.8cc of a drug.  The other type, the ComboPen, is capable of
holding up to 3.0cc of a drug.  The Company has developed and supplied the
AtroPen and ComboPen to the U.S. Army combined (by a clip-like device) in one
package known as the Mark I Antidote Kit ("Mark I").  The Company's military
auto-injectors are intended to be used by military personnel under combat
conditions for the self-administration of antidotes against the effects of
chemical warfare.  The United States and several allied foreign governments
maintain stockpiles based upon the shelf-life of the antidotes (generally five
years).

To date, all DoD procurements of AtroPens, ComboPens, and Mark I's have been
restricted to sources qualified as Planned Industrial Producers for these items.
The Company is currently the only DoD Planned Industrial Producer for the
AtroPen, ComboPen and Mark I.

Sales of military auto-injector products were $16 million in fiscal 1996, of
which $14.3 million related to the industrial base maintenance contract
(discussed below) with the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") with the balance
derived from sales of auto-injectors to various allied foreign governments.
This represents a 52% increase over the $10.5 million generated from sales of
military auto-injectors in fiscal 1995, of which $7.4 million was derived from
DoD contracts.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, STI's industrial base maintenance
contract with the DoD was extended through November 30, 1996.  The Company
expects the first of two one-year renewal options to be exercised by the DoD
before November 30, 1996.  The industrial base maintenance contract calls for
the retention of key personnel and facilities to assure expertise

                                          8


for manufacturing auto-injectors containing nerve gas antidotes, the storage of
serviceable material from expired auto-injectors, the management of the U.S.
Army's shelf-life extension program and new product orders.  A surge capability
provision allows for the coverage of defense mobilization requirements in the
event of rapid military deployment.  In addition, the contract has been expanded
during fiscal 1996 to include the pre-stocking of critical components at STI's
St. Louis manufacturing facility to enhance readiness and mobilization
capability.  This contract is part of program by the DoD to assure adequate
supplies of critical items in the event of war.

Revenue from the base maintenance contract was $14.3 million, $7.4 million and
$5.7 million in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Fiscal 1997 revenue
from this contract, including production of automatic injectors, is expected to
be consistent with fiscal 1996 levels.  During the current year, the Company
became a qualified manufacturer of the Diazepam auto-injector for the DoD.  The
Diazepam auto-injector is a ComboPen filled with the drug diazepam (valium).
Diazepam product deliveries, supplied as part of the base maintenance contract,
generated revenue of $2.7 million in its initial year.  Sales to the DoD for
this product are expected to continue in fiscal 1997.

The U.S. Government continues to investigate new automatic injection delivery
systems, as well as new drugs and antidotes, to be placed in new or existing
automatic injectors.  In fiscal 1996, the Company completed the initial phase of
its contract with the U.S. Army to develop a single, multi-chamber automatic
injector.  STI submitted several proposals in response to the Army's request to
evaluate and consider producing an alternative version of this product.  During
the current year, one of these design alternatives was accepted by the Army who
then submitted this proposal to the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for
their review.  This review is expected to be complete during the second quarter
of fiscal 1997.  If developed, the earliest practical date for fielding this new
injector would be fiscal 1999.  Procurement and deployment of such a
multi-chamber auto-injector would likely replace the Mark I and reduce the
current domestic market for AtroPen and ComboPen auto-injectors over time.

Sales of STI's auto-injectors to allied foreign governments decreased $1.4
million (45%) from $3 million in fiscal 1995.  Although these revenues declined,
the Company's intensified efforts to expand sales of military products
internationally has resulted in orders from several new customers during fiscal
1996 and 1997.  To this end, the Company secured an AtroPen order from the
Republic of Germany for $2.7 million during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.
Product deliveries are anticipated to commence in the second quarter of fiscal
1997 with the order being completed by the end of fiscal 1997.  At present, the
German government has indicated that their annual need for this product over the
next two to four years will be comparable to their original order, although at
this time no additional orders have been placed.  In an effort to secure
additional business in the highly competitive international marketplace, the
Company is implementing a cost reduction program covering its military product
line to be more cost competitive and improve margins.

The Company has also introduced auto-injector systems that can store compounds
in dry form and mix them in solution prior to administration.  Limited
quantities of this product (BinaJect) have been manufactured and sold to a
foreign allied government.  Many of the new nerve agent antidotes require this
technology because of their limited shelf-life or instability in solution.  In
addition, market expansion efforts in regions subject to high temperatures will
also require this specialized auto-injector drug delivery system.  All export
sales of military auto-injectors require U.S. State Department approval.

                            CONTRACT FILLING AND PACKAGING

STI has complete sterile parenteral contract filling and packaging services for
a broad range of sterile injectable dosage forms which includes vials, dental
cartridges and pre-filled, ready-to-use syringes.  The Company's proprietary
CartrixTM syringe system is a line of unit-dose, disposable, prefilled syringes
suitable for a broad range of injectable drugs.  The Company fills Cartrix
syringes and other lines of vials, dental cartridges and syringes with
pharmaceuticals supplied by the contracting party and formulated by the Company
to the contracting party's specifications.  Revenues from these activities
aggregated $918,800, $1,237,500 and $1,646,000 in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

STI designs and manufactures delivery systems tailored to the requirements of
its customers' products.  Presently, these arrangements, in the aggregate, do
not produce significant revenues.  The Company is actively negotiating with
certain pharmaceutical companies to develop and manufacture generic forms of
selected liquid injectable drugs that are nearing their patent expiration.
These products would be in various dosage forms including single and multi-dose
vials and prefilled syringes.  Additionally, STI is working with other
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for continued expansion of this
business which includes syringes with sterile water used to reconstitute drugs
in a dry compound state.


				      CYTOGUARD

The Company invented and now manufactures the patented CytoGuard-Registered
Trademark- Aerosol Protective Device.  The CytoGuard is a vial attachment used
to reduce the risk of exposure of health care professionals while reconstituting
toxic drugs, particularly chemotherapeutics, being administered to patients.
The Company has an exclusive License and Supply Agreement with a subsidiary of
Bristol Myers-Squibb ("BMS") for the distribution of CytoGuard in the United
States.  While this agreement expires in December 1996, the Company is exploring
other business strategies for CytoGuard.  Production and delivery of CytoGuards
generated revenues of $865,700 (3%), $1,592,700 (6%) and $3,042,000 (12%) of
consolidated sales in fiscal years 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
Company does not expect further CytoGuard sales to BMS in fiscal 1997.


                                     R&D SERVICES

STI provides fully validated formulation and aseptic filling services and
regulatory assistance for those pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies  not
currently possessing such capabilities.  The Company also supplies customized
drug delivery system design, GMP-approved sterile product manufacturing and
pharmaceutical research and development to a number of different companies.
Development programs include feasibility and stability studies as well as the
manufacturing of clinical trial materials in the Company's St. Louis pilot
plant.  If feasibility and stability studies are successful and all regulatory
approvals are received, the Company anticipates contracts in the coming years to
manufacture these products in vials, prefilled syringes or STI's proprietary
auto-injector systems.  Revenue from customer-funded research and development
activities were $2.3 million, $2.3 million and $2.9 million in fiscal years
1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company expects fiscal 1997 revenues
from funded R&D activities to be comparable with historical levels.

                                     COMPETITION

The Company operates in a highly competitive sector of the health care industry.

STI competes directly with companies that manufacture drug injection devices and
indirectly with companies that develop and market drug delivery systems which
are alternatives to injection.  Competition from large pharmaceutical companies,
joint ventures, and others is intense and expected to increase.  Many of these
companies have substantially greater capital resources, larger research and
development staffs and facilities than the Company, and substantially greater
experience in the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products as well
as obtaining regulatory approvals.   The activities of these entities represent
significant long-term competition for the Company.

STI's auto-injectors compete with a number of other drug delivery systems,
including those for the self-injection of epinephrine for treating anaphylaxis,
which are not automatic.  The Company's military auto-injectors compete in price
and quality with auto-injectors sold by companies in Holland, South Korea and
Israel.  Major competitors in this area are Solvay Duphar B.V. (ComboPens only)
and Astra Tech, both large international pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as
Shalon Ltd, an Israeli-based manufacturer of chemical protective equipment,
including auto-injectors (AtroPens only).

The Company's contract filling and packaging services are in an intensely
competitive field which is presently dominated by larger pharmaceutical
companies, many having greater resources than the Company, and other disposable,
prefilled syringe systems presently available which can be less expensive.  A
very small group of independent companies and a few pharmaceutical companies
offer contract syringe filling services similar to those that the Company
offers.


                              BACKLOG AND RENEGOTIATION

As of July 31, 1996, the Company had a backlog of orders approximating $8
million, of which $4.9 million related to production and delivery of commercial
products and services and $3.1 million related to military products.  The
majority of this backlog is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter
of fiscal 1996.  This compares with commercial product sales backlog of $2.5
million and military auto-injector sales backlog of $1.3 million at July 31,
1995.  See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" included herein pursuant to Part II of this Form 10-K.

There is no material portion of the Company's business which is subject to
renegotiation of profits.  The Company's supply contracts with the DoD are
subject to post-award audit and potential price redetermination.  From time to
time, the DoD makes claims for pricing adjustments with respect to completed
contracts.  At present, no claims are pending.

All U.S. Government contracts provide that they may be terminated for the
convenience of the Government as well as for default.  Upon termination for
convenience of cost reimbursement type contracts, the Company would be entitled
to reimbursement of allowable costs plus a portion of the fixed or target fee
related to work accomplished.  Upon convenience termination of fixed-price
contracts, the Company normally would be entitled to receive the contract price
for items which have been delivered under the contract, as well as reimbursement
for allowable costs for undelivered items, plus an allowance for profit thereon
or adjustment for loss if completion of performance would have resulted in a
loss.  No such contract terminations are anticipated by the Company.

                          PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, AND LICENSES

The Company considers its proprietary technology to be important in the
development, marketing and manufacture of its products and seeks to protect its
technology through a combination of patents and confidentiality agreements with
its employees and others.  Patents covering important features of the Company's
current principal auto-injector products have expired.  This loss of patent
protection could have an adverse affect on the Company's revenues and results of
operations.  STI is currently developing a new generation of auto-injector
products (See "Research and Development" following) for which a number of
patents have been granted to the Company.  Over the last few years, the Company
was granted U.S. patent protection for several of its new auto-injector drug
delivery systems, designed for fast and reliable patient self-administration of
the expanding range of new pharmaceutical and biotechnology products that
require injection.  Some of these patents cover the EpiE-ZPen, whose product
launch was in fiscal 1996.  See "Commercial Products" above.

The Company intends to file for additional patent protection for all of its new
products currently under development.  These products are expected to replace or
supplement the Company's existing line of auto-injectors over time.  The Company
has several important patents related to thrombolytic therapy.  These patents
broaden the Company's patent protection, especially in the area of intramuscular
administration of protein thrombolytic agents, including t-PA.

The Company owns a number of trademarks in the U.S. and other countries.  The
Company is also licensed in the U.S. and other countries under patents and
trademarks owned by others.  In the aggregate, these trademarks and licenses are
of material importance to the Company's business, with the most significant
being the license and supply agreements with a division of American Home
Products Corporation ("licensor") which grants the Company an exclusive license
to manufacture, use and sell the licenser's patented product within the
Company's auto-injectors (ComboPens).  The term of the supply agreement extends
through fiscal 1997 and automatically continues for consecutive one-year renewal
periods.


                               RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company expended $606,600, $943,000, and $1,024,600 on research and
development activities in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company
intends to continue to expend funds on the activities discussed below and
expects that amounts spent on research and development in fiscal 1997 to be
higher than previous fiscal years.

STI is currently developing a new family of auto-injectors to accommodate the
expanding variety of injectable drugs that demand safe and convenient patient
self-administration.  These new auto-injectors are designed for use in emergency
situations and for any episodic treatment where an intramuscular or subcutaneous
injection is the preferred drug delivery method.  The Company is currently
exploring certain applications of these new auto-injectors which will be subject
to certain regulations prior to the product reaching the marketplace.  See
"Government Regulation" following.

<PAGE>

					  12


The Company has patented auto-injector systems that can store compounds in dry
form and reconstitute them in solution prior to administration.  An increasing
array of biotechnology products and many traditional therapies require this
technology because of their limited shelf-life or instability in solution.  STI
also has a single-chambered auto-injector for intramuscular and subcutaneous
injection which utilize a very thin (27 gauge) needle for potential new
applications.

                             PRODUCT LIABILITY INSURANCE

The Company maintains product liability coverage for its medical products and
its commercial pharmaceutical products, including the LidoPen, EpiPen,
EpiE-ZPen, and the Cartrix syringe system.  The Company will continue to
maintain liability insurance as it relates to divested operations to cover any
potential claims incurred but not reported prior to their disposition.
Although, the Company's management is of the opinion that, with respect to
amounts, types, and risks insured, the insurance coverage is adequate for the
business conducted by the Company, there can be no assurance that such insurance
will provide sufficient insurance coverage against any or all potential product
liability claims.


                               GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The business of the Company is highly regulated by governmental entities,
including the FDA and corresponding agencies of states and foreign countries.
The summary below does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the complete text of the statutes and regulations cited
herein.

As a manufacturer of auto-injectors and prefilled syringes, the Company's
products are subject to regulation by the FDA under the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act ("Act").  All of the Company's auto-injectors are "new drugs" and
may be marketed only with the FDA's approval of a NDA or a supplement to an
existing NDA.  The Company currently holds approved NDAs for each of its
existing auto-injector products.  The use of the Company's existing
auto-injectors to administer FDA approved drugs generally would require the
filing of a NDA or supplement to an existing NDA.  In addition, the introduction
of the Company's new generation auto-injectors, such as the EpiE-ZPen which
received approval in August 1995, will require FDA approvals based on data
demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of the drug delivered by these
auto-injectors.  There is no assurance that the NDAs will be processed in a
timely manner or that FDA ultimately will approve such NDAs.

The Company's Cartrix-TM- and other prefilled syringe systems are also regulated
as drugs; however, the requisite FDA approval is held by the supplier of the
drug that the Company fills into the syringe.  To the extent the Company's
auto-injectors or Cartrix-TM- syringe system are expected to be used to
administer new drugs under development, FDA approval to market such drugs first
must be received by the pharmaceutical manufacturer.  Obtaining the requisite
FDA approval is a time consuming and costly process through which the
manufacturer must demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of a new drug
product.

The Cytoguard Aerosol Protection Device is regulated and currently marketed as a
medical device.  Certain of the Company's new auto-injectors also may be
regulated as medical devices.  Such devices are subject to a pre-market
notification process.  The requisite FDA filing must contain information that
establishes that the new product is substantially equivalent to an existing
device available for the same intended use.  The FDA must either approve or deny
the application or require further information within 90 days of its submission.
Products which do

<PAGE>

                                          13


not receive approval through the FDA's pre-market notification process are
subject to the FDA's much lengthier and more complex pre-marketing approval
procedures.

In connection with its manufacturing operations, the Company must comply with a
variety of regulations, including the FDA's Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP")
regulations, and its manufacturing facilities are subject to periodic
inspections.  The Company's St. Louis facility underwent an inspection by the
FDA during fiscal 1996 in which there were no material issues brought to
management's attention.

Suppliers of bulk drugs for filling into the Company's syringe systems, as well
as some subcontractors who manufacture components for the Company's medical
devices, also are subject to FDA regulation and inspection.  The Company has
only limited control over these other companies' compliance with FDA
regulations.  Failure of these companies to comply with FDA requirements could
adversely affect the Company's ability to procure component parts, market
finished products and may cause the Company's products made with non-compliant
components to be adulterated or misbranded in violation of the Act, subjecting
the products to a variety of FDA administrative and judicial actions.

The FDA is empowered with broad enforcement powers.  The FDA may initiate
proceedings to withdraw its approval for marketing of the Company's products
should it find that the drugs are not manufactured in compliance with GMP
regulations, that they are no longer proven to be safe and effective, or that
they are not truthfully labelled.  Noncompliance with GMP regulations also can
justify nonpayment of an existing government procurement contract and, until the
deficiencies are corrected to FDA's satisfaction, can result in a nonsuitability
determination, precluding the award of future procurement contracts.

For any of the Company's auto-injectors and syringe systems, noncompliance with
FDA regulations could result in civil seizure of the drugs, an injunction
against the continued distribution of the drugs or criminal sanctions against
the Company.  The Company's medical devices also are subject to seizure by the
FDA through administrative or judicial proceedings.  In addition, the FDA may
impose civil money penalties for most violations of law and may order that
defective devices be recalled, repaired or replaced or that purchasers be
refunded the cost of the device.

The Company also is subject to regulation by other federal and state agencies
under various statutes, regulations and ordinances, including environmental
laws, occupational health and safety laws, labor laws and laws regulating the
manufacture and sale of narcotics.

                                      EMPLOYEES

As of September 30, 1996, the Company employed a total of 251 employees; 218
employees work at the Company's plant and warehouse facilities in St. Louis,
Missouri; 10 employees work at the Company's facility in the United Kingdom and
23 employees work at the Company corporate headquarters in Rockville, Maryland
(see "Properties"). Effective March 1, 1994, the Company entered into a
five-year agreement with the Teamsters Local Union No. 688 ("Teamsters") which
is affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chauffeurs,
Warehousemen and Helpers of America.  Teamsters are the exclusive agent for all
production and maintenance employees of the Company at its St. Louis facility.
Approximately 118 employees are covered by this collective bargaining agreement.
The new labor union contract did not significantly change the mix of benefits
previously provided to such employees.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company's corporate headquarters occupy approximately 17,000 square feet in
an executive office building complex located in Rockville, Maryland.  STI signed
a ten-year lease agreement for this office space beginning January 1992.  This
facility contains corporate administration; human resources; finance; commercial
business development; and product, design and development functions.  During the
fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company initiated a restructuring plan which
includes the relocation of its corporate office to reduce occupancy costs while
subleasing this current office space.  In October 1996, the Company signed a
letter of intent to sublease its corporate office space in Rockville, Maryland
and entered into a new lease in Columbia, Maryland.  See Note 3 in Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company's primary pharmaceutical operations are located in St. Louis,
Missouri.  These facilities are used primarily for formulation, aseptic filling,
assembly and final packaging of the Company's auto-injectors, vials and
prefilled syringes.  The St. Louis manufacturing facilities consist of eight
separate buildings occupying over 90,000 square feet.  The principal St. Louis
facilities are leased pursuant to lease agreements which begin to expire in
fiscal 1996 and 1997 but contain renewal options for additional five-year and
ten-year periods. See "Leases" in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements included herein pursuant to Part II of this

Form 10-K.  The Company believes that its current production facilities in St.
Louis, Missouri are suitable and adequate for the Company's current business.

STI International Limited is located in the Medway City Industrial Estate, an
enterprise zone in Rochester, Kent in the United Kingdom.  The facility consists
of one modern building occupying approximately 4,200 square feet which is used
primarily for aseptic assembly and final packaging of the Mediject morphine
automatic injector under a contract with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense.
This facility is also used as a sales and marketing office to promote STI's
commercial and military products in Europe and the Middle East.  The facility is
leased pursuant to a lease which expires in 2010.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION
The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of
operations cover the fiscal years ended July 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

1996 AND 1995

The Company reported net income of $391,400 ($.12 per share) and $1,276,000
($.41 per share) on sales of $8.6 million and $31.4 million for the fourth
quarter and fiscal year ended July 31, 1996.  This compares with net income of
$257,400 ($.08 per share) and $460,500 ($.15 per share) on sales of $8.5 million
and $25.5 million for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1995.  Net income
improved $134,000 ($.04 per share or 52%) in the current quarter and nearly
tripled increasing $815,500 ($.26 per share) in the current year when compared
with the same prior year periods.  While remaining relatively constant in the
fourth quarter, revenue increased $5.9 million (23%) during the current year
when compared with the corresponding prior year on the strength of higher U.S.
military product and EpiPen-Registered Trademark- auto-injector sales.

Military sales increased $1.2 million (37%) to $4.4 million in the current
quarter and $5.5 million (52%) to $16 million in fiscal 1996 when compared with
the concurrent prior year periods.  These increases were due to shipments of
military auto-injectors during the current quarter coupled with additional
services provided as part of the Industrial Base Maintenance Contract with the
U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD").  Revenues under this DoD contract increased
$1.3 million (61%) to $3.4 million for the quarter and increased $6.9 million
(92%) to $14.3 million for the year ended July 31, 1996 when compared with the
same periods last year.  Product deliveries included sales of the Diazepam
auto-injector which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
("FDA") in December 1995.  Revenues for this new injector were $1.8 million and
$2.7 million for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1996.  Additional services
provided to the DoD during the current year included the prestocking of critical
components at STI's St. Louis manufacturing facility to enhance readiness and
mobilization capability.  These increases were partially offset by declines in
revenue from international military products of $132,900 (13%) and $1.4 million
(45%) for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1996 compared with the same
periods last year.

The Industrial Base Maintenance Contract is a continuation of the program
adopted in 1993 by the DoD to assure adequate supplies of critical items in the
event of war.  STI is the only U.S. supplier of nerve gas antidote
auto-injectors, which were widely deployed by U.S. allied forces during the
Persian Gulf War.  This contract calls for the retention of key personnel and
facilities to assure expertise for manufacturing auto-injectors containing nerve
gas antidotes, the storage of serviceable material from expired auto-injectors,
the management of the DoD's shelf-life extension program and new product orders.
This contract has a surge capability provision allowing for the coverage of
defense mobilization requirements in the event of rapid military deployment.
Moreover, the contract was expanded in fiscal 1996 to include the prestocking of
critical components at STI's St. Louis manufacturing facility to enhance
readiness and mobilization capability.  Revenue from this component prestocking
program was $1.7 million in fiscal 1996.  The Company believes this contract
represents a cost-saving measure for the Government by allowing the DoD to
consolidate its warehouse depots and personnel necessary to manage this
material.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Commercial products and services generated revenues of $4.3 million and $15.4
million for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1996 compared with $5.3 million
and $15 million in the respective prior year periods.  While these revenues were
comparable for the years ended July 31, 1996 and 1995, a decrease of $1 million
(19%) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 was primarily attributable to the
timing of CytoGuard-Registered Trademark- sales ($800,100) which occurred during
the previous quarter of the current fiscal year.  The fiscal 1996 commercial
revenue increase resulted primarily from higher sales of the Company's
epinephrine auto-injector product line ($1.4 million or 14%) which was partially
offset by lower revenue ($1 million or 36%) from various other contract filling
and packaging work which includes CytoGuard.

The EpiPen and EpiE-ZPen are automatic injectors that contain epinephrine which
are indicated for immediate use by persons in the emergency treatment for severe
allergic reactions to bee stings, insect bites and ingestion of certain foods.
The EpiE-ZPen is a smaller, more streamlined auto-injector that is easier to use
than previous injectors and resembles an ordinary fountain pen with a pocket
clip for easy carrying.  Revenues from these products totalled $3.4 million and
$11.2 million for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1996 compared with $3.5
million and $9.8 million in the corresponding prior year periods.  While these
revenues were comparable in the quarter, the epinephrine product line
experienced continued growth of $1.4 million (14%) in fiscal 1996 when compared
with fiscal 1995.  This increase can be attributed to the expanded promotional
efforts over the last several years by Center Laboratories, Inc. ("Center"),
STI's exclusive distributor of the EpiPen and the EpiE-ZPen.  The Company
anticipates epinephrine product sales to continue improving over prior year
levels with Center's continuing expansion of marketing efforts in the U.S. and
international markets coupled with the recent introduction of the EpiE-ZPen.

The Company's patented CytoGuard Aerosol Protective Device is designed to reduce
the risk of exposure of health care professionals while reconstituting toxic
drugs administered to patients, such as chemotherapeutics.  CytoGuard, sold
exclusively to Bristol-Myers Squibb ("BMS") for distribution in the U.S. with
BMS products, generated revenue of $865,800 in fiscal 1996 which represents a
$726,900 (46%) decline from fiscal 1995 revenue of $1.6 million.  As previously
reported, lower in-market sales of these BMS products continued to adversely
effect CytoGuard sales during fiscal 1996.  Although no sales of CytoGuard are
expected in fiscal 1997, the Company is exploring various business strategies
for this product.

STI has development programs that include feasibility and stability studies as
well as the manufacturing of clinical trial materials in the Company's St. Louis
pilot plant.  If feasibility and stability studies are successful and all
regulatory approvals are received, the Company anticipates contracts in the
coming years to manufacture these products in vials, prefilled syringes or STI's
proprietary auto-injector systems.  These customer-funded development programs
generated revenue of $2.3 million in both fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Gross margins were 31% and 29% for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1996
compared to 33% and 32% for the quarter and year ended July 31, 1995.  The
decrease in gross margins were due to various factors including component supply
issues which disrupted production in fiscal 1996 coupled with higher military
product sales which have inherently lower margins.  The Company has resolved
this component supply issues and is working to improve gross margins through the
completion of several manufacturing cost reduction programs currently in
progress.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $122,000 (10%) in the
current quarter and $309,600 (7%) in fiscal 1996 when compared with the same
prior year periods.  These anticipated decreases resulted primarily from the
absence of certain administrative costs related to organizational changes made
during fiscal 1996 to streamline reporting relationships.  This was done in
conjunction with the previously reported restructuring plan adopted by the Board
of Directors in fiscal 1995.  See Note 3 in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Research and development expenditures decreased $316,700 (34%) in fiscal 1996
when compared with fiscal 1995.  This was due to the timing of expenditures
related to certain projects which have been deferred into fiscal 1997.  The
Company remains focused on development efforts to its new generation
auto-injector products designed for outpatient/in-home use.  These products
target infrequent injection of medication in acute episodes of disease as well
as treatment of chronically ill patients.  This will result in higher R&D
expenses in fiscal 1997 when compared to fiscal 1996 and will be comparable to
historical levels.

Depreciation and amortization remained relatively constant increasing $68,300
(4%) in fiscal 1996 when compared with fiscal 1995.  This increase includes a
significantly lower amortization expense ($142,500 or 44%) during the current
year due to selected patent write-offs which occurred in fiscal 1995.  Absent
amortization, depreciation expense increased $210,800 (14%). As previously
reported, higher depreciation expense was anticipated due to increased levels of
capital expenditures made over the last two fiscal years.

As part of the restructuring plan adopted in fiscal 1995, the Company initiated
certain organizational changes during fiscal 1996 resulting in additional
charges of $321,900 related to employee severance expense in fiscal 1996.  These
charges are in addition to a $450,000 charge assessed against fiscal 1995
earnings for relocating STI's corporate headquarters to reduce occupancy costs.
To this end, the Company is planning to move its corporate office facility from
Rockville, Maryland, to Columbia, Maryland.  See Note 3 in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

Other expense, net of other income, increased $119,900 (67%) in the current year
when compared with the last year.  This was primarily attributable lower royalty
income for the year ended July 31, 1996 which the Company receives from the sale
of its Medical Device Division to Brunswick Biomedical Corporation in fiscal
1994.  Interest expense was comparable increasing slightly by $14,300 (4%) in
fiscal 1996.

1995 AND 1994

The Company reported net income of $460,500 ($.15 per share) on sales of $25.5
million for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1995.  This compares with net income
of $2.1 million ($.68 per share) on sales of $24.9 million for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1994.  Fiscal 1994 operating results include a $953,000 ($.30 per
share) non-recurring gain, net of tax, from the fourth quarter sale of the
Company's Medical Device Division ("MDD").  Fiscal 1995 operating results were
adversely effected by a $292,500 ($.09 per share) restructuring charge, net of
tax, recorded in its fourth quarter.  Absent this restructuring charge in fiscal
1995 and the non-recurring gain in fiscal 1994, earnings for the fiscal year
ended July 31, 1995 would have decreased by $422,500 ($.14 per share) when
compared with fiscal 1994 operating results.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Revenues in fiscal 1995 increased $2.5 million (11%) over the prior year,
exclusive of the $1.9 million in revenues generated by the MDD which was sold in
fiscal 1994.  Contributing to this sales improvement was a $3.4 million (48%)
increase in military product sales which was partially offset by a $900,000 (6%)
decrease in commercial sales.  While current year revenues were increasing over
the prior year, gross margins were decreasing from 35% in fiscal 1994 to 32% in
the current fiscal year.  This decline in gross margins was attributable to
several factors including the plant shutdown during the first quarter of fiscal
1995, lower revenues from funded R&D activities and lower margin foreign
military auto-injector sales.  The Company's competitive bid for this foreign
military contract anticipated a lower margin in pursuit of contact award to
better position itself for future business.

Military product sales in fiscal 1995 consisted of $7.4 million in revenue from
the U.S. DoD which represents a $1.8 million (31%) increase over fiscal 1994.
Foreign military sales were $3 million in fiscal 1995 which represents a $1.6
million (113%) increase over the prior year.  This increase is attributable to
the Company's competitive bid for a foreign military contract anticipating a
lower margin in pursuit of contract award.  This was done in an effort to better
position STI for additional future business and minimize bid losses to a
competitor with local manufacturing operations, which occurred in fiscal 1994.

The decline in commercial sales is attributable to lower revenues from both
CytoGuard sales and funded R&D activities.  These lower revenues were partially
offset by a growth in revenues from the EpiPen auto-injector which aggregated
$9.8 million in fiscal 1995 and represents a $1.4 million (17%) increase over
fiscal 1994.  This increase is primarily attributable to expanded promotional
efforts over the last two years by Center.  CytoGuard revenues were $1.6 million
in fiscal 1995, which represents a 48% decrease from the $3 million recognized
in fiscal 1994.  During fiscal 1994, the Company under the direction of BMS,
changed the packaging of this product from a single unit to a multi-unit
package.  Creation of inventories of the new multi-unit package coupled with
lower in-market sales of BMS' products resulted in lower CytoGuard sales in
STI's fiscal 1995 with this decline expected to continue in fiscal 1996.
Revenues from these development contracts during the current year were $2.3
million, which represents a $598,000 (21%) decrease from last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") decreased $298,300 (7%)
during fiscal 1995 when compared with fiscal 1994.  This decrease resulted
primarily from the absence of SG&A expenses related to the MDD which was sold in
July 1994.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the restructuring plan was
approved by the Company's Board of Directors resulting in a $450,000
restructuring charge against operations.     This restructuring plan is expected
to further reduce SG&A expenses in fiscal 1996 and beyond.

Research and development expenditures remained relatively constant decreasing
$81,600 (8%) in the current year.

Depreciation and amortization increased $570,100 (46%) in fiscal 1995 when
compared with the prior year.  The Company continues to invest significantly in
capital expenditures (see "Balance Sheet Review") and, as previously reported,
expected depreciation expense to increase in the current period and in future
periods.   Also contributing to this increase was the accelerated
amortization/write-off of certain patent costs which the Company does not
believe will provide previously anticipated future benefit.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Other income, net of other expenses, decreased $1.9 million in the current
fiscal year primarily due to the $1.6 million pre-tax gain on the sale of the
MDD in fiscal 1994.  See Note 5 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Also contributing to this increase was higher interest expense of $302,300 in
fiscal 1995 due to higher levels of bank borrowings as well as the commencement
of interest payments on the outstanding note payable to Syntex Laboratories,
Inc.  (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources" following).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has a revolving credit agreement ("Agreement") with Merrill Lynch
Business Financial Services, Inc. ("MLBFS") with a maximum commitment of $5
million.  Outstanding borrowings under the Agreement totalled $3.9 million at
July 31, 1996 with an interest rate equal to the 30-day commercial paper rate as
published in the Wall Street Journal plus 265 basis points (8.04% at July 31,
1996).  The Agreement is collateralized by substantially all of the Company's
assets and general intangibles.  Financial covenants under the Agreement require
the Company to maintain certain levels of tangible net worth and debt to net
worth ratios and limits capital expenditures in any one fiscal year to $5
million.  On August 15, 1996, the Agreement was extended through December 31,
1996 with the same terms and conditions in anticipation of the previously
announced merger with Brunswick Biomedical Corporation ("BBC").  Upon
consummation of this merger, proceeds from a newly established $5 million line
of credit will become immediately available for repayment of the MLBFS note
payable.  If the merger with BBC is not consummated, the Company will seek a
renewal of the Agreement  or an alternative source of financing.  There can be
no assurance that any such alternative source of financing will be available on
terms favorable to the Company.

The merger would subject the Company to the financial commitments of BBC which
currently include an $11 million bridge loan that will be converted to a $10
million long-term loan upon completion of the merger.  The long-term loan
contains covenants which are applicable to the financial condition of the merged
Company.  In order to adequately service the long-term loan and comply with the
financial covenants, the merged Company must achieve significantly higher
operating results, obtain external financing from strategic partners interested
in its R&D programs and/or obtain additional equity financing.  At this time,
there is no assurance that the merger will occur, and, if the merger does occur,
that the Company will comply with the financial covenants of the long-term loan.

Over the last five fiscal years, the Company has expended more than $15 million
for capital equipment designed to expand production capacity to accommodate
commercial sales growth.  Partial proceeds from a $5.4 million secured loan
agreement with Syntex were used to finance a portion of this capital program.
Principal repayments commenced August 1, 1991 through credits against amounts
invoiced to Syntex for product delivered under a related Manufacturing and
Packaging Agreement.  As part of the termination of this agreement, the
repayment terms of the loan agreement were modified to include an eighteen-month
moratorium on the repayment of principal beginning with the calendar quarter
ended March 31, 1993 through the calendar quarter ended June 30, 1994.

                                          23




MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Principal payments to Syntex resumed for the calendar quarter ended September
30, 1994 at the minimum of $200,000 per quarter reducing the outstanding loan
balance $800,000 during fiscal 1996 to $588,400 at July 31, 1996.  The loan
bears interest at the same rate the Company pays on its current line of credit
facility.  Interest expense recognized on this loan totalled
$86,000 in fiscal 1996.  The loan is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence
of certain events.  See Note 7 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The Company has significant capital needs which will need to be funded
externally in order to finance its plans to automate many of the Company's
aseptic filling, assembly and final packaging processes.  During fiscal 1996,
the Company began to purchase high-speed, drug cartridge preparation and filling
equipment as well as automated assembly and packaging equipment.  This equipment
will not only increase efficiency and capacity while improving profit margins,
but it will also result in less human contact with products during the
manufacturing process.  Finally, as part of STI's new product development
efforts, the Company must purchase high cavitation molds for its new automatic
injection devices which will also require external funding.

To assist in financing the capital investment program mentioned above, the
Company entered into a loan agreement with The CIT Group/Equipment Financing,
Inc. ("CIT") in May 1995. This arrangement consists of a series of loans for the
acquisition of production molds, high speed component preparation and filling
equipment and facility renovations not to exceed a maximum aggregate of $3
million.  Additional terms include repayment of each loan in sixty (60) equal
monthly installments at a fixed interest rate equal to the Treasury Yield (as
published in the Wall Street Journal two business days prior to closing a loan
amount) plus 247 basis points.  Loan proceeds to date totalled $1.5 million with
a loan balance outstanding of $1.2 million at July 31, 1996 with a weighted
average interest rate of 8.8%.  See Note 7 in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.

BALANCE SHEET REVIEW

Working capital increased $539,900 (15%) to $4,204,200 at July 31, 1996 from
$3,668,300 at July 31, 1995.  Receivables increased $1.5 million (25%) on the
strength of higher EpiPen and Diazepam auto-injector sales.  Inventory levels
increased $1.1 million (30%) in support of higher sales levels anticipated for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 when compared with the first quarter of fiscal
1996.  These sales will include new products introduced earlier in fiscal 1996,
the EpiE-ZPen and the Diazepam auto-injectors.  Prepaid expenses and other
current assets increased $416,300 resulting in the prepayment to the FDA for
annual user fees.  The deferred income tax asset increased $186,600 (18%) due to
an increase in expenses related to the restructuring plan initiated in fiscal
1995.

Note payable to bank remained constant at $3.9 million from fiscal 1995 to
fiscal 1996 while accounts payable increased $1.2 million (120%) resulting from
the acquisition of inventory components in support of fiscal 1997 sales as
discussed above.  Proceeds from operations during fiscal 1996 contributed to the
funding necessary to make scheduled quarterly payments to Syntex which reduced
the note payable to Syntex by $800,000 (58%) to $588,400 at July 31, 1996. See
"Liquidity and Capital Resources" above.  The increase in customer deposits
($703,500) represents an upfront payment for continuing development work to be
completed in fiscal 1997.  Other liabilities and accrued expenses increased
$436,000 (37%) due to a higher

accrual for income taxes payable.  The restructuring reserve increased $190,400
(42%), net of employee severance payments associated with the previously
discussed organizational changes.

Other long-term debt, including the current portion, increased $311,300 (22%)
due to a non-interest bearing note from Center in the amount of $375,000 to
assist in the cost reduction program associated with the EpiE-ZPen.  This loan
will be repaid to Center through credits on future EpiE-ZPen deliveries
commencing in September 1996.  Additional proceeds under the CIT loan agreement
were more than offset by payments made on the initial CIT loan (see "Liquidity
and Capital Resources") and capital lease obligations.  Deferred revenue
decreased $250,000 (100%) with the recognition of the remaining revenue of a
development contract which was closed-out during the first quarter.

Capital expenditures totalled $2.3 million in fiscal 1996 which consisted
primarily of improvements designed to automate and validate current production
processes at the Company's St. Louis manufacturing facility.  The timing of
capital expenditures to keep pace with prior year levels is contingent on the
Company's ability to identify outside sources of capital.  Shareholder's equity
increased $1.3 million on the strength of net income ($1.28 million) and from
the exercise of employee stock options.

INFLATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In the view of management, the low levels of inflation in recent years and
changing prices have had no significant effect on the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.  Generally, the Company is able to mitigate
the effects of inflation on operating costs and expenses through price increases
and productivity gains.

The Company applies the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by APB
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" in accounting for its
stock-based compensation.  Accordingly, the Company has not recognized any
compensation associated with fair value accounting.  Beginning in fiscal 1997,
the Company will be required to make certain additional disclosures as if the
fair value method of accounting defined in SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" had been applied to the Company's stock option plans.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SURVIVAL TECHNOLOGY, INC.

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Survival Technology, Inc. ("Company") is a technology-based health care company
that designs, develops and produces a broad range of automatic injectors,
prefilled syringes and other innovative health care devices, with a major focus
on safe and convenient participation by the patient in injection therapy.  The
Company also supplies customized drug delivery system design, pharmaceutical
research and development and GMP-approved sterile product manufacturing to
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Survival
Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries ("Company").  All
intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

INVENTORIES

Inventories relating to commercial and military products are stated at the lower
of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

Fixed assets are stated at cost.  The Company computes depreciation and
amortization under straight-line and accelerated methods using the following
estimated useful lives:

    Furniture and equipment                           2 to 15 years
    Capital leases and leasehold improvements         4 to 20 years

In addition, the Company uses either the units of production method or the
straight line method over a 10-year life (whichever period is shorter) to
depreciate production molds and tooling over their estimated production life
cycle.  Major additions and improvements including validation costs are
capitalized and ordinary repairs, maintenance, and renewals are expensed in the
year incurred.  Gains or losses on the sale or retirement of fixed assets result
from the difference between sales proceeds and the assets' net book value.

PATENTS AND LICENSES

Legal costs incurred in connection with patent applications and costs of
acquiring patents and licenses are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the patent (not to exceed seventeen years) or license or
over the period expected to be benefitted, principally over 5 to 20 years.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Sales of medical products are recorded when shipments are made to customers. 
Revenues from the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD") industrial base maintenance
contract are recorded ratably throughout the contract term with the exception of
revenue from the component prestocking program that is recorded upon component
receipt in STI's warehouse and product


<PAGE>

                                          30

sales which are recorded upon shipment to the customer.  Revenues from license
fees are recorded when the fees are due and non-refundable.  Revenues from
research and development arrangements are recognized in the period in which
related work has been substantially completed.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development expenses are charged to operations in the period
incurred. 

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for taxes using the asset and liability approach as
prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 ("SFAS 109"),
"Accounting for Income Taxes".  The asset and liability approach requires the
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for expected future tax
consequences of temporary differences between carrying amounts and tax basis of
assets and liabilities.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments, which include
cash, receivables, notes payable and current/long-term debt, approximates their
carrying value.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Net income per common share is computed on the weighted average number of common
and common equivalent shares outstanding which were as follows:  3,116,700 in
1996, 3,102,500 in 1995 and 3,117,600 in 1994.  Stock options are considered to
be common equivalent shares when dilutive.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year financial statements in
order to conform with the current year presentation.

Inventories do not include amounts related to the DoD component prestocking
program which are segregated in STI's warehouse facilities for future DoD
contract requirements.

3.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

In fiscal 1995, a restructuring plan was approved by the Company's Board of
Directors resulting in a $450,000 charge against earnings for the relocation of
its corporate office.  As part of this plan, the Company initiated certain
organizational changes during fiscal 1996 resulting in additional charges
related to severance benefits provided to certain employees terminated during
fiscal 1996.

The following table sets forth the Company's restructuring charges for the year
ended July 31, 1996 and 1995:

In October 1996, the Company signed a letter of intent to sublease its corporate
office space in Rockville, Maryland and entered into a new lease in Columbia,
Maryland for the relocation of the corporate headquarters.  The reserve balance
for the relocation of facilities at July 31, 1996 is sufficient to cover both
the moving costs and the lease rate differential on the sublease.  The Company
is scheduled to move its corporate headquarters by December 1996.

4.  MERGER WITH BRUNSWICK BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION

On April 15, 1996, Brunswick Biomedical Corporation ("BBC"), a privately-held
medical device company, purchased 61.1% of the Company's outstanding common
stock from the estate of the Company's late founder, Dr. Stanley J. Sarnoff.

On September 11, 1996, the Company and BBC entered an Agreement and a Plan of
Merger ("Merger Agreement").  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding
share of BBC's common stock will be exchanged for 2.1 shares of the Company's
common stock and the Company's common stock will remain outstanding.  Each of
BBC's outstanding shares of preferred stock will be converted into a right to
receive 2.1 shares of the Company's common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.4
share of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share,
exercisable for a period of five years following the merger.  In addition, the
Company will assume BBC's obligations under outstanding options and warrants.
These provisions of the agreement will result in 1,708,928 shares of the
Company's common stock being issued in exchange for BBC stock at the time of the
merger and could result in the issuance of an additional 1,053,358 shares of the
Company's common stock if all options and warrants were exercised and the
required consideration paid.  Each of the 1,888,126 shares of Company's common
stock currently owned by BBC will be retired in the merger.  The transaction
requires approval by both the Company's and BBC's shareholders and is expected
to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal 1997.

The merger would subject the Company to the financial commitments of BBC which
currently include an $11 million bridge loan that will be converted to a $10
million long-term loan upon completion of the merger.  The long-term loan
contains covenants which are applicable to the financial condition of the merged
Company.  In order to adequately service the long-term loan and comply with the
financial covenants, the merged Company must achieve significantly higher
operating results, obtain external financing from strategic partners interested
in its R&D programs and/or obtain additional equity financing.  At this time,
there is no assurance that the merger will occur, and, if the merger does occur,
that the Company will comply with the financial covenants of the long-term loan.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, BBC will be merged into the Company, the
existence of BBC will cease, and the Company, as the surviving corporation, will
continue to exist.  Although the Company will be the surviving corporation in
the merger as a legal matter, the merger will be treated as a purchase of the
Company by BBC for accounting purposes.  As a result, the Company's assets and
liabilities, revalued to their respective fair values, and BBC's historical
financial statements will reflect the combined operation of the Company and
Brunswick after the effective date of the merger.

5.  SALE OF MEDICAL DEVICE DIVISION

On July 31, 1994, the Company sold substantially all of the assets (exclusive of
trade receivables) and the business of its Medical Device Division ("MDD") to
Brunswick Biomedical Corporation ("BBC") of Marlboro, Massachusetts.  The MDD
designed, manufactured and marketed electronic heart monitoring devices known as
CardioBeeper-Registered Trademark- ECG transmitters ("CardioBeepers").  James H.
Miller, president, chief executive officer and director of the Company also is
chairman, president, chief executive officer and a shareholder of BBC.

The assets sold consisted primarily of business equipment, inventories of
CardioBeepers and related components, patents and customer account lists.  In
consideration of the asset purchase, BBC paid the Company $2 million in cash at
the closing date with future payments not to exceed $1 million based on net
sales of the Division over the next five years.  The proceeds of the sale  ($2
million) were used to reduce current bank borrowings at July 31, 1994.  Royalty
payments in fiscal 1996 and 1995 aggregated $90,000 and $133,400, respectively.
At July 31, 1996, royalty payments of $59,600 were outstanding and unpaid.

                                       34


This sale was recorded by the Company in the fourth quarter of its fiscal year
ended July 31, 1994 resulting in a non-recurring pretax gain on disposal of
$1,562,300 which includes a provision for costs associated with the sale,
including employee severance costs and legal expenses.  This nonrecurring gain
is exclusive of potential future payments.  Revenues generated from this
division in fiscal 1994 were $1.9 million.

6.  ACQUISITION OF MEDIMECH ASSETS

On November 18, 1992, the Company acquired the principal assets of Medimech
International Limited ("Medimech"), a designer and manufacturer of auto-
injectors based in the United Kingdom for $1,524,200 in cash.  In addition, the
Company will be required to make future payments for an eight-year period equal
to 7.5% of the net sales of Medimech products after such sales exceed $3
million.  There have been no additional payments made through July 31, 1996.
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.

The purchase of Medimech was financed in part through an arrangement with E.M.
Industries, Inc. ("EMI"), whose division, Center Laboratories, Inc. ("Center"),
is the Company's exclusive distributor of EpiPen-Registered Trademark- auto-
injectors.  EMI provided $1.2 million to the Company in exchange for:  61,900
shares of the Company's common stock, a license fee totalling $300,000 for the
exclusive marketing rights to certain future products under agreements to be
negotiated and a $300,000 non-interest bearing loan to be repaid through credits
on future sales of EpiPen auto-injectors by the Company to Center commencing
January 1, 1993.  The loan was paid off in fiscal 1995.  The balance of the
purchase price was financed by the Company through internal sources.


7.  DEBT ACTIVITY

NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

The Company has a revolving credit agreement ("Agreement") with Merrill Lynch
Business Financial Services, Inc. ("MLBFS") with a maximum commitment of $5
million.  Outstanding borrowings under the Agreement totalled $3.9 million at
July 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, with an interest rate equal to the 30-day
commercial paper rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus 265 basis
points (8.04% at July 31, 1996 and 8.48% at July 31, 1995.)  The agreement is
collateralized by substantially all of the Company's assets and general
intangibles.  Financial covenants under the Agreement require the Company to
maintain certain levels of tangible net worth and debt to net worth ratios while
limiting capital expenditures to no more than $5 million in any one fiscal year.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Agreement was extended through
December 1996 with the same terms and conditions.

NOTE PAYABLE TO SYNTEX

On April 16, 1991, the Company signed a Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement")
pursuant to which Syntex Laboratories, Inc. ("Syntex") of Palo Alto, California
agreed to lend $5.4 million to the Company.  Approximately $2.9 million of the
loan proceeds were used to finance capital expenditures with the balance of $2.5
million to finance working capital requirements.  The Company drew down on the
capital expenditure portion of the Loan Agreement as equipment was purchased.
Principal repayments commenced August 1, 1991 through credits against amounts
invoiced to Syntex for product delivered under a Manufacturing and Packaging
Agreement between the parties.
<PAGE>

                                       35


On November 30, 1992, the Company and Syntex agreed to terminate the
Manufacturing and Packaging Agreement effective February 15, 1993.  As part of
this termination agreement, the repayment terms of the Loan Agreement were
modified to include an eighteen-month moratorium on the repayment of principal
beginning with the calendar quarter ended March 31, 1993 through the calendar
quarter ended June 30, 1994.  The outstanding loan balance (approximately $2.2
million) was non-interest bearing from January 1, 1993 through June 30, 1994 and
effective July 1, 1994 began bearing interest at a rate equal to that which the
Company pays on its current commercial line of credit facility.  Principal
payments resumed for the calendar quarter ended September 30, 1994 at the
minimum of $200,000 per quarter and aggregated $800,000 in both fiscal 1996 and
1995.  The loan is subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain
events.

The Loan Agreement is collateralized by approximately $6.5 million of existing
equipment and general intangibles.  Any security interest that Syntex may have
on newly acquired equipment by the Company and all proceeds thereof is subject
and subordinate to the security interest of MLBFS.

OTHER LONG-TERM DEBT

On May 23, 1995, the Company entered into a loan agreement with The CIT
Group/Equipment Financing, Inc. ("CIT") to assist in financing the Company's
capital investment programs.  This arrangement will consist of a series of loans
for the acquisition of production molds, high speed component preparation and
filling equipment and facility renovations not to exceed a maximum aggregate of
$3 million.  Loan proceeds totalled $445,300 and $1,046,100 in fiscal 1996 and
1995, respectively, of which $1.2 million was outstanding at July 31, 1996 with
an interest rate of 8.8%.  Terms include repayment of each loan in sixty (60)
equal monthly installments at a fixed interest rate equal to the Treasury Yield
(as published in the Wall Street Journal two business days prior to closing on a
loan amount) plus 247 basis points.  The agreement with CIT is collateralized by
the assets financed with the loan proceeds.  CIT's security interest in such
assets is subject and subordinate to the security interest of Syntex.

On January 11, 1996, the Company received a non-interest bearing loan in the
amount of $375,000 from Center Laboratories, Inc. ("Center"), STI's exclusive
distributor for the EpiPen and EpiE-ZPen.  The proceeds from this loan will
assist the Company in purchasing high-speed filling and automated packaging
equipment which will reduce the cost of manufacturing the EpiE-ZPen.  Repayment
of this loan will commence during the first quarter of fiscal 1997 with an
agreed upon credit per unit on EpiE-ZPen shipments to Center.  The Company
anticipates loan repayment to be completed in fiscal 1999.

Other long-term debt consisted of the following:

$477,500; 1999 - $374,900; 2000 - $287,900; 2001 - $26,700.  Capitalized
interest costs in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 totalled $132,400, $137,700, and
$130,100, respectively.

8.  STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has adopted two Stock Option Plans ("the Plans") which reserve
700,000 shares for the granting of options through 2001 and provide for issuance
of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights, incentive shares and restricted stock.

Options granted to employees, officers and directors pursuant to the Company's
stock option plans generally have been exercisable in varying amounts in
cumulative annual installments up to ten years from the date of grant.  The
exercise price on all options granted during the three years ended July 31, 1996
was equivalent to the market value of the Company's stock on the date of grant.
At July 31, 1996, there were no stock appreciation rights outstanding.

The Estate of Stanley J. Sarnoff, the Company's late founder, holds options to
purchase up to 32,500 shares of the Company's common stock through September 14,
2000 (as to 30,000 shares) and 2003 (as to 2,500 shares) at a price of $9.875
and $10.78, respectively.  The Company is obligated under certain circumstances
to register, under the Securities Act of 1933, shares of the Company's stock
owned by the Estate.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, an executive officer was granted an
option to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price equal to its fair market value ($9.50).  Under the terms of the grant, the
option is exercisable as to 10,000 common stock shares six months after the date
of grant and will vest with respect to the remaining 30,000 shares in one-third
annual increments.  In addition, the vesting of such 30,000 shares wil1 be
accelerated, in 10,000 share increments, if the market price for the common
stock reaches $18.00, $27.00 and $36.00, respectively.

9.  INCOME TAXES

As discussed in Note 1, the Company records income taxes using the asset and
liability approach as prescribed by SFAS 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes."
The asset and liability approach requires the recognition of deferred tax
liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts and the tax basis of other assets and
liabilities.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994 consists
of:

The Company provides deferred taxes for temporary differences between the book
basis of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the book

10. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

PENSION AND SAVINGS PLANS

The Company maintains a profit sharing thrift plan covering all full-time
employees not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  Annual
contributions by the Company under the plan may be made on the basis of
available retained earnings up to 6.6% of the base annual salary of all plan
participants.  Plan benefit allocations are based on the participants' average
annual compensation.  The Company made no contributions in fiscal 1996 while
contributing $50,000 and $75,000 in fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively.  As part
of this profit sharing thrift plan, eligible employees may elect to contribute
up to 12% of their base annual salary to the plan.  The Company matches a
portion of employee contributions which amounted to $172,000, $161,000 and
$129,100 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

The Company also made payments to pension plans for its full-time employees in
St. Louis, Missouri covered by a collective bargaining agreement.  Contributions
to this plan aggregated $78,900, $72,900 and $76,900 in fiscal 1996, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The Company sponsors a postretirement benefit plan ("the Plan") to provide
certain medical and life insurance benefits to retirees, their spouses and
dependents.  Employees terminated from active service after March 1992 who are
at least 60 years of age but no more than age 65, with 20 years service, are
eligible for medical coverage.  Employees who terminated from active service
prior to April 1, 1992 who were at least 55 years of age, but no more than age
65, with 10 years service, are eligible for medical and life insurance coverage.
Upon reaching age 65,  Medicare becomes the retiree's primary medical coverage.
The Plan is contributory for medical benefits based on the retiree's years of
service and noncontributory for life insurance benefits.

On August 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standard No. 106 "Employee's Accounting of Postretirement Benefits Other Than
Pension"  ("SFAS 106").  The Company had previously recorded the expense
associated with these benefits on a pay-as-you-go basis.  Under SFAS 106, the
cost of providing retiree health care and life insurance benefits is actuarially
determined and accrued over the service period of an employee.  The unrecognized
transition obligation upon adoption of the standard on August 1, 1993, was
$898,000.  The Company has elected to amortize the transition obligation on a
straight-line basis over a twenty-year period.

The following table sets forth the Plan's funded status reconciled with the
amount included in deferred compensation in the balance sheet:

For measurement purposes, a 9.5% annual rate of increase in cost of health care
was assumed for fiscal 1996; the rate was assumed to decrease gradually to 5% by
2005 and remain at that level thereafter.  The health care cost trend rate
assumption has a significant effect on the amounts reported.  To illustrate,
increasing assumed health care cost by 1% in each year would increase the
accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of July 31, 1996 by $218,000
and the aggregate of the service and interest cost components of net periodic
postretirement benefit cost by $33,000 for the year ended July 31, 1996.  The
weighted average discount rate used in determining the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 8%.

11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LEASES

The Company has various commitments under capital and operating leases through
2009 relating to computer hardware and software, its pharmaceutical
manufacturing facility and warehouses in St. Louis, Missouri, its facility in
the United Kingdom and administrative offices in Rockville, Maryland and St.
Louis, Missouri.

Future minimum rentals as of July 31, 1996 under noncancellable leases are as

These future minimum rentals do not include CPI adjustments to which some of the
leases are subject.  The Company incurred rental expense of $818,800 in 1996,
$773,400 in 1995 and $728,300 in 1994.  During fiscal 1996 and 1995, the Company
amortized $30,200 of lease incentives previously deferred in fiscal 1994 and
prior (aggregating $226,600) which were received in connection with a lease for
office space.  These incentives are being amortized over the ten-year life of
the respective lease.  The schedule of operating lease payments does not include
reimbursement of rent expense related to the sublease agreement for the
corporate office facility discussed in Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.

SALE/LEASEBACK OF CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS BUILDING

In connection with the December 1988 sale of the Company's former corporate
headquarters building in Bethesda, Maryland, the Company's obligations under the
Leasehold Deed of Trust ("Ground Lease") were assigned to and assumed by the
purchaser of the building.  The Company remains contingently liable under the
Ground Lease.  The annual commitment under the Ground Lease aggregated $143,700
in 1996 (adjusted for increases in the Consumer Price Index) and extends until
the year 2042.

LITIGATION

Lawsuits and claims are filed from time to time against the Company and its
subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business.  Management of the Company,
after reviewing developments to date with legal counsel, is of the opinion that
the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated financial position or results of operations of the Company.

GOVERNMENT CONTRACT REVENUE

The Company's supply contracts with the Department of Defense ("DoD") are
subject to post-award audit and potential price redetermination.  In the opinion
of management, adjustments, if any, on completed contracts would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or
results of operations.

EMPLOYEE CONTRACTS

The Company entered into agreements with certain key employees which provide for
certain benefits should the employee be terminated within the term of the
agreement for other than specified reasons.  The Company also entered into
agreements with certain other key employees which provide for certain benefits
should the employee be terminated within a two year period subsequent to a
change of control (as defined by the agreements) for other than specified
reasons.  Benefits to be provided under these agreements include continued life,
disability, accident and health insurance coverage for a period of two years and
a severance payment up to 200% of the employee's annual base compensation.
Additionally, all stock options held by the employee become immediately
exercisable and any restrictions on transfer of the Company's stock held by the
employee shall lapse.  These agreements began to expire in April 1996 through
December 1996 and renew for one-year periods unless timely notice of non-renewal
is given.  The maximum contingent liability under these agreements at July 31,
1996 aggregates $1.3 million.

12.  CASH FLOWS

During fiscal 1995 and 1994, the Company entered into additional capital leases
for more computer hardware related to the new management information system
totalling $170,400 and $104,900 respectively.  There was no such activity in
fiscal 1996.


13.  INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company has no significant foreign operations and operates in one industry
segment which includes the design, development, manufacture and sale of medical
products and related services, with a major focus on safe and convenient
participation by the patient in injection therapy.

material respects, the financial position of Survival Technology, Inc. and its

their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1996,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.  We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

				     OFFICES


     1.1. The registered office of the Corporation shall be in the City of
Wilmington, County of New Castle, State of Delaware.

     1.2. The Corporation may also have offices at such other places both within
and without the State of Delaware as the Board of Directors may from time to
time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

				   ARTICLE 2.
			    MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

     2.1. All meetings of the Stockholders shall be held at such place, within
or without the State of Delaware, as shall be fixed from time to time by the
Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting or in a duly executed
waiver of notice thereof.

     2.2. An annual meeting of Stockholders shall be held on the first day of
November, if not a legal holiday, and if a legal holiday then on the next
secular day following, at 10:00 a.m., local time, or at such other date and time
as shall be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors and stated in
the notice of the meeting, at which meeting the Stockholders shall elect a Board
of Directors and transact such other business as may properly be brought before
the meeting.

     2.3. Special meetings of the Stockholders for any purpose or purposes may
be called at any time by the Board of Directors and shall be called by the
President or Secretary at the request in writing of holders of stock having a
majority in voting power of the entire capital stock of the Corporation issued
and outstanding and entitled to be voted at such meeting. Such request shall
state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at
any special meeting of Stockholders, other than procedural matters and matters
<PAGE>

				      - 2 -


relating to the conduct of the meeting, shall be limited to the purpose or
purposes stated in the notice of the meeting pursuant to Section 4 of this
Article II of these By-Laws.

     2.4. Written notice of the annual or any special meeting of the
Stockholders shall be given to each Stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting
not less than ten nor more than sixty days before the date of the meeting. The

If mailed, notice is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, directed to the Stockholder at his address as it appears on the records
of the Corporation.

     2.5. At all meetings of the Stockholders the holders of stock having a
majority in voting power of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to
vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business. If, however, such quorum shall not be
present or represented at any meeting of the Stockholders, the holders of stock
having a majority of the voting power of the stock entitled to vote thereat who
are present in person or represented by proxy shall have the power to adjourn
the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the
meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented. At such adjourned
meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be
transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally

meeting, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each Stockholder of
record entitled to vote at the meeting.

     2.6. When a quorum is present at any meeting, all elections for the Board

these Bylaws. Abstentions shall not be considered to be votes cast.

the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order, and showing the address of each
such Stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each such
Stockholder. Such list shall be open to the examination of any Stockholder, for
any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period
of at least ten days prior to the meeting, either at a place within the city
where the meeting is to be held, which place shall be specified in the notice of
the meeting, or, if not so specified, at the place where the meeting is to be
held. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the
meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any Stockholder
who is present.

     2.8. Any action required by statute to be taken at any annual or special
meeting of Stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at
any annual or special meeting of such Stockholders, may be taken without a
meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing,
setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding
stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary
to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which holders of all of the
outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Prompt notice
of the taking of the corporate action without a meeting by less than unanimous
written consent shall be given to those Stockholders who have not consented in
writing.

     2.9. Votes by written ballot at any meeting of stockholders may be
conducted by one or more inspectors, appointed for that purpose, either by the
Board of Directors or by the chairman of the meeting. The inspector or
inspectors may decide upon the qualifications of voters and the validity of

                                   ARTICLE 3.
                               BOARD OF DIRECTORS

     3.1. The business of the Corporation shall be managed by its Board of
Directors, which may exercise all such powers of the Corporation and all such
lawful acts and things as are not by statute or by the Certificate of
Incorporation or by these By-Laws directed or required to be exercised or done
by the Stockholders.
<PAGE>


                                      - 4 -


     3.2. The number of Directors that shall constitute the whole Board shall be
the number from time to time fixed by the Board of Directors, which number shall
not be less than one. The Board by resolution may from time to time increase or
decrease the number of Directors to any number not less than one, provided that
any reduction in the number of Directors shall not have the effect of shortening
the term of any Director in office at the time such resolution becomes
effective. The phrase "the whole Board," as used in these By-Laws, shall refer
to the total number of Directors which the Corporation would have if there were
no vacancies. The Directors shall be elected at the Annual Meeting of the
Stockholders, except as provided in Section 3 of this Article, and each Director
elected shall hold office until removal or resignation or until his successor is
elected and qualified. A director may resign at any time by giving written
notice to the Chairman of the Board, to the Chief Executive Officer or to the
Secretary. Unless otherwise stated in such notice of resignation, the acceptance
thereof shall not be necessary to make it effective; and such resignation shall
take effect at the time specified therein or, in the absence of such
specification, it shall take effect upon the receipt thereof.

     3.3. Vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase
in the authorized number of Directors may be filled by a majority of the
Directors then in office, though less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining
Director, and the Directors so chosen shall hold office until the next annual
election and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. If at any
time there are no Directors in office, by reason of death, resignation or other
cause, then any Stockholders or any executor or administrator or other fiduciary
entrusted with like responsibility for the estate of a Stockholder may call a
special meeting of the Stockholders to elect a Board of Directors. If at the
time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the Directors
then in office shall constitute less than a majority of the whole Board (as
constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may,
upon application of any Stockholder or Stockholders holding at least ten percent
of the total number of the shares outstanding at the time and having the right
to vote for such Directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any
such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the Directors
chosen by the Directors then in office.

     3.4. The Board of Directors of the Corporation may hold meetings, both
regular and special, either within or without the State of Delaware.

     3.5. Regular meetings of the Board of Directors may be held without notice
at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the
Board. A meeting of the Board of Directors for the election of officers and the
transaction of such other business as may come before it may be held without
notice immediately following the annual meeting of stockholders.

     3.6. Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chairman of the
Board, the Chief Executive Officer or upon the written request of a majority of
the whole Board on two days' notice to each Director, either personally or by
telephone, or on four days' notice by mail (computed from the date of mailing).
Any such notice may be waived and shall be deemed waived by any Director who
signs a written waiver of such notice before or after the time stated therein.

     3.7. At all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Directors constituting
the whole Board shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and
the vote of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is
a quorum shall be the act of the Board of Directors, except as may be otherwise
specifically provided by statute, the Certificate of In- corporation or these
By-Laws. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board of
Directors, the Directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to
time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum
shall be present.

     3.8. Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation or
these By-Laws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of
the Board of Directors or of any committee thereof may be taken without a
meeting, if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent
thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of
the proceedings of the Board or committee.

     3.9. A director of the Corporation who is present at a meeting of the Board
of Directors when a vote on any matter is taken is deemed to have assented
<PAGE>

                                      - 6 -


to the action taken unless he votes against or abstains from the action taken,
or unless at the beginning of the meeting or promptly upon arrival, the director
objects to the holding of the meeting or the transacting of specified business
at the meeting. Any such dissenting votes, abstentions or objections shall be
entered in the minutes of the meeting.

                        THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD AND THE
                           VICE-CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

     3.10. The Board of Directors, at its first meeting following the annual
meeting of Stockholders in each year, or at such other time when there shall be
a vacancy, shall elect one of its members as Chairman of the Board, and may
elect one of its members as Vice-Chairman of the Board; each to serve for one
year or until his successor is elected and qualified. The Chairman of the Board
shall preside at all meetings of the Stockholders and of the Board of Directors
and shall perform such other duties as may be required of him by the Board of
Directors and by these By-Laws. The Vice-Chairman of the Board, if one is
elected, shall, in the absence of the Chairman of the Board, preside at the
meetings of the Stockholders and of the Board of Directors and shall perform
such other duties as may be required of him by the Board of Directors. In the
absence of the Chairman of the Board and the Vice-Chairman, if any, those
members of the Board who are present shall choose from among themselves a person
to preside at the meeting of the Board.

                             COMMITTEES OF DIRECTORS

     3.11. The Board of Directors may, by resolution passed by a majority of the
whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one
or more of the Directors of the Corporation. The Board may, by resolution passed
by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more Directors as alternate
members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at
any meeting of the committee. Any such committee, to the extent provided in the
resolution and as limited by the Sixth Article, Section 2, of the Certificate of
Incorporation, shall have and may exercise the powers of the Board of Directors
in the management of the business and affairs of the Corporation, and may
authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to all papers which may
require it. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee
or committees, except as
<PAGE>

                                      - 7 -


otherwise provided to the extent that there shall have been designated alternate
members who shall be present, the member or members thereof present at any
meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not he or they constitute a
quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act
at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Such
committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from
time to time by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. Each committee
shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board of
Directors as requested by the Board of Directors.

                            COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     3.12. The Board of Directors shall have the authority to fix the
compensation to be paid to Directors. The Directors may be paid their expenses,
if any, of attendance at each meeting of the Board of Directors, or of any
committee of the Board of Directors, in addition to a fixed sum for attendance
at each such meeting and/or a stated salary as Director or committee member.
Unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors, no such payment shall
preclude any Director from serving the Corporation in any other capacity and
receiving compensation therefor.

     3.13. Any or all of the Directors may be removed for cause or for no cause
by the Stockholders. One or more of the Directors may be removed for cause by a
majority of the whole Board.

                                   ARTICLE 4.

     4.1. The Board of Directors shall elect the officers of the Corporation,
which shall be a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Secretary and a

the Stockholders. The Board may from time to time also elect one or more
Vice-Presidents in such gradations as the Board of Directors may determine,
Assistant Vice-Presidents, Assistant Secretaries, Assistant Treasurers and such
other officers and agents as it shall deem necessary, or it may delegate the
authority to appoint such officers and agents to an officer subject to the
control of the Board of Directors. Any number of offices may be held by the same
person.

     4.2. Unless otherwise provided in the resolution of election or
appointment, the officers of the Corporation shall hold office until their
successors are chosen and qualified or until their earlier resignation or
removal. Any officer may resign at any time by giving written notice to the
Chief Executive Officer or the Secretary. Unless otherwise stated in such notice
of resignation, the acceptance thereof shall not be necessary to make it
effective; and such resignation shall take effect at the time specified therein
or, in the absence of such specification, it shall take effect upon the receipt
thereof. Any officer, servant or agent of the Corporation may be removed at any
time with or without cause by the Board of Directors or by the officer having
power to appoint the successor of the person being removed. Any vacancy
occurring in any office of the Corporation may be filled by the Board of
Directors or otherwise as provided in this Article.

     4.3. The officers of the Corporation shall receive such compensation for
their services as the Board of Directors may determine. The Board of Directors
may delegate its authority to determine compensation to a committee or
designated officers of the Corporation.

Stockholders and at meetings of the Board of Directors in the absence of the

and resolutions of the Board of Directors are carried into effect; and shall
have such other powers and duties as normally pertain to his office or as shall
be prescribed by the Board of Directors.

     4.6. Unless otherwise specified by the Board of Directors, the President of
the Corporation shall be the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation. If a
person other than the Chief Executive Officer, the President shall have such

of directors or by the Chief Executive Officer.

                                      - 9 -


     4.7. The Vice-Presidents, if any, shall perform such duties and have such
powers as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe by standing or
special resolution, or the Chief Executive Officer may from time to time
provide, subject to the powers and the control of the Board of Directors.

     4.8. The Secretary of the Corporation or an Assistant Secretary, as
designated by the Chairman of the Board or other presiding officer, or another
person so designated, shall act as secretary and record the minutes of meetings
of the Board of Directors and committees thereof and of the Stockholders. Unless
given by another authorized officer, the Secretary shall give, or cause to be
given, notices of all meetings of stockholders and directors and of such
committees as directed by the Board of Directors. The Secretary shall have
charge of such books and papers as the Board of Directors may require. The
Secretary or any Assistant Secretary is authorized to certify copies of extracts
from minutes and of documents in the Secretary's charge and anyone may rely on
such certified copies to the same effect as if such copies were originals and
may rely upon any statement of fact concerning the Corporation certified by the
Secretary (or any Assistant Secretary). The Secretary shall have custody of the
corporate seal of the Corporation and shall have authority to affix the same to
any instrument requiring it and, when so affixed, it may be attested by the
Secretary's signature. The Board of Directors may give general or special
authority to any other officer to affix the seal of the Corporation and to
attest the affixing by his signature. The Secretary shall perform all acts
incident to the office of Secretary, subject to the control of the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, under whose
supervision the Secretary shall be.

     4.9. The Assistant Secretary, if there be any, or, if there be more than
one, the Assistant Secretaries in the order determined by the Board of Directors
(or if there be no such determination, then in the order of their election),

refusal to act, perform the duties and exercise the powers of the Secretary and
shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as the Board of
Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer or the
Secretary may from time to time prescribe.
<PAGE>

                                     - 10 -


     4.10. The Treasurer shall have the custody of the corporate funds and
securities and shall keep full and accurate accounts of receipts and
disbursements in books belonging to the Corporation, and may deposit all moneys
and other valuable effects in the name and to the credit of the Corporation in
such banks, trust companies or other depositories, as the Board of Directors may
select or as may be selected by an officer, employee or agent of the Corporation
to whom such power may from time to time be delegated by the Board of Directors.
He shall perform such other duties and have such other powers as may be
prescribed by the Board of Directors or the Chief Executive Officer, under whose
supervision he shall be. The Treasurer may act with the assistance of such
Assistant Treasurers, if any, or such other employees of the Company as he may
reasonably designate.

     4.11. The Assistant Treasurer, if there be any, or, if there be more than
one, the Assistant Treasurers in the order determined by the Board of Directors
(or if there be no such determination, then in the order of their election),

by law) shall be executed by the Chief Executive Officer, the President, any
Vice President or such officers or employees or agents as the Board of Directors
or any of such designated officers may direct.

Secretary may authorize any endorsement on behalf of the Corporation to be made

                              CERTIFICATES OF STOCK

     5.1. Every holder of stock in the Corporation shall be entitled to have a
certificate signed by, or in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman or
Vice- Chairman of the Board of Directors, or the President or a Vice-President,
and by the Treasurer or an Assistant
<PAGE>

                                     - 11 -


Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation
certifying the number of shares owned by him in the Corporation. Where a
certificate is countersigned (1) by a transfer agent other than the Corporation
or its employee, or (2) by a registrar other than the Corporation or its
employee, any other signature on the certificate may be a facsimile. In case
any officer, transfer agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such
officer, transfer agent or registrar before such certificate is issued, it may
be issued by the Corporation with the same effect as if he or it were such
officer, transfer agent or registrar at the date of issue.

                                 LOST CERTIFICATES

     5.2. The Board of Directors may in its discretion direct, or vest in the
officers of the Corporation the power to direct, that a new certificate or
certificates be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore
issued by the Corporation and alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed,
upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the
certificate of stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such
issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its
discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require, or
vest in the officers of the Corporation the power to require, that the owner of
such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal
representative, give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as
indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with
respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed. The
Corporation may refuse to issue a new certificate except as ordered by the Court
of Chancery of Delaware.

                               TRANSFERS OF STOCK

     5.3. The Board of Directors may appoint, or authorize any officer or
officers to appoint, one or more transfer agents and one or more registrars. The
Board of Directors may make such further rules and regulations as it may deem
expedient concerning the issue, transfer and registration of stock certificates
of the Corporation.

     5.4. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the
Corporation of a certificate for
<PAGE>

                                     - 12 -


shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment
or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new
certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and
record the transaction upon its books.

                               FIXING RECORD DATE

     5.5. In order that the Corporation may determine the Stockholders entitled
to notice of or to vote at any meeting of Stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting,
or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any
change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful

REOPENER CLAUSE (OCT 1995)

(a)  This clause applies only to Items 0004 Base Maintenance/Material and 0005
Mobilization Surge Option as listed in Section B, Schedule of Supplies and
Services.  Only downward price adjustments shall apply.

(b)  The negotiated prices for all items were based on the most current,
accurate and complete information available at the time of negotiations
regarding the contractor's estimated production forecast, business volume, and
indirect cost structure.  The contractor's practices comply with the Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles and appropriate Defense Contract Audit Agency
guideline in connection with the proposed statement of work upon which these
prices were negotiated.

(c)  The prices negotiated for items 0004 and 0005 shall be firm-fixed priced
for the respective contract and option periods unless any of the following
circumstances described below occur.

     1.   Commercial Production (dollars):  The contractor's FY96, FY97, and
FY98 commercial production volume varies significantly enough to cause the
proposed commercial production costs for direct material and direct labor to
exceed $4,150,788 per annual contract term (i.e. 110% of $3,773,444, the
proposed estimated commercial production costs in the contractor's SF1411,
Schedules D-1 and D-2).

     2.   Government Sales (unit) (Government sales are defined as sales to the
Department of Defense):  The total volume of Government Sales per annual
contract term exceeds 1) 1,200,000 units of Atropine and 2) 1,200,000 units of
any combination of sales of Pralidoxime and Diazapam.  Each Mark I Kit sold
shall be converted to one Atropine and one Pralidoxime injector for the purpose
of determining sales under this clause.

(d)  When any of the above occurs, DPSC may reopen the contract to renegotiate
the appropriate cost elements cited in the table in paragraph (h) for the base
and option years.  The purpose is to make a downward adjustment in contract
price to equitably share in lower unit costs that may be realized by the
contractor as a result of increased commercial and/or Government business
unforeseen at the time of contract award.

(e)  The negotiated General & Administrative rate of 24.48% will be applied to
renegotiated costs in the base and option terms in a method consistent with the
methodology negotiated prior to contract award.

REOPENER CLAUSE (OCT 1995)

(f)  In order to ensure timely definitization of any adjustment that may be
required under this clause, the Government has the option to conduct
cost/financial reviews AT ANY TIME during the course of the contract term to
determine whether a price reduction is authorized.  The Contracting Officer may
request ANY information (e.g., sales data) and cost data (including certified
cost or pricing data) she deems necessary to make this determination.  (If
necessary, the Contracting Officer and/or authorized representative may conduct
reviews at the contractor's plant and have access to the contractor's financial
and production records.)  The Contractor shall provide this information within
30 days of any such request.  (Reviews are tentatively scheduled for 1 November
1996, 1 November 1997, and 1 November 1998).

     (i)  Once negotiations are completed, the Contracting Officer shall
promptly issue a modification reducing the unit prices for items 0004 and 0005
for the applicable contract term and recoup any money for units actually
delivered by the same term.

     (ii) Should the Contractor fail to submit the information in paragraph (f),
or should there be no agreement as to the amount of the price adjustment, the
Contracting Officer may make a unilateral determination and modify the contract
accordingly.  Failure to agree with such change in the contract price shall be
resolved in accordance with the Disputes clause of the contract.

(g)  For the propose of this clause, the elements of cost subject to adjustment
in accordance with this clause are limited to reduction in Government cost only.
Each element of cost to be examined shall stand alone and increases in one
element will not be allowed to offset decreases in another r(i.e., higher
material handling overhead will not offset lower manufacturing overhead);
however, the above will not preclude the contracting Officer, solely at her
discretion, from weighing the individual circumstances of such a scenario and
determining to allow just such an offset on a case by case basis if such actio
is in the best interest of the Government.

(h)  The following cost elements only shall be considered for renegotiation if
authorized under this clause:

     CAUSE FOR REOPENING                ELEMENTS SUBJECT TO REOPENING

Commercial Production (dollars)         1. St. Louis Plant Overhead (O/H)

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                           CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

     This AGREEMENT, dated January 10, 1996, is made by and between Mark D. Ruby
("Ruby") and SURVIVAL TECHNOLOGY, INC., ("STI") a Delaware corporation.

          In order to induce Ruby to remain in the employ of STI and to induce
Ruby to give continued attention and dedication to his assigned duties in the
event of a Change of Control of STI, STI desires to provide Ruby with certain
benefits and inducements, as set forth herein.

                                    AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained
and other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, STI and Ruby do hereby agree as follows:

                                   DEFINITIONS

     Whenever the following terms are used below in this Agreement, they shall
have the meaning specified below, and no other.


SECTION 1.1 - CAUSE.

          "Cause" shall mean termination of employment with STI because of (i)
Ruby failure or refusal to satisfactorily perform any duties reasonably required
of Ruby by STI; (ii) the commission of Ruby of a felony or the perpetration by
Ruby of a dishonest act against or breach of fiduciary duty toward STI; or (iii)
any act or omission by Ruby which is injurious in any material respect to the
financial condition or business reputation of STI.


SECTION 1.2 - CHANGE OF CONTROL.

          A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if the Stanley
J. Sarnoff Estate block of Company stock is sold and Ruby's employment with STI
is terminated.  The transfer of the beneficial ownership of securities of STI
from the Estate of Stanley Sarnoff to the Sarnoff Endowment for Cardiovascular
Research shall not be deemed to be a Change of Control.


SECTION 1.3 - NOTICE OF TERMINATION.

          "Notice of Termination" shall mean a notice, in writing, to Ruby from
STI, which indicates the specific termination provision enumerated in this
Agreement which sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
alleged to provide a basis for termination of Ruby's employment by STI.


                                      TERM

          This Agreement shall be effective commencing on the date hereof and
shall continue in effect through one year,provided, however, that commencing
   and on each         thereafter, the term of this Agreement shall
automatically be extended for one additional year unless no later than December
31 of the preceding year, the Company shall have given Ruby notice that it does
not desire to extend the term of this Agreement: and provided, further, that if
a Change of Control shall have ocurred during the term of this Agreement, then,
notwithstanding such notice by the Company not to extend, this Agreement shall
continue in effect for the lesser of i) a period of 36 months beyond the then
scheduled expiration of this Agreement, or (ii) or a period ending on the date
of the Retirement of Ruby.


                            BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION

SECTION 2.1 - WHEN BENEFITS PAYABLE.

          No benefits shall be payable under this Agreement and the provisions
of this Agreement shall be of no force or effect unless there shall have been a
Change of Control, and Ruby's employment with STI shall have been terminated
because of and as part of that Change of Control during the term of this
Agreement.  If such a Change of Control has occurred and Ruby's employment with
STI is terminated due to that Change of Control during the term of this
Agreement, unless such termination is (i) because of the death of Ruby, or (ii)
for Cause,  Ruby shall be entitled to benefits enumerated in Section 2.3 of this
Agreement.  No benefits shall be paid to Ruby and this Agreement shall be of no
force and effect if Ruby voluntarily resigns from his position or Ruby is
<PAGE>

terminated for no cause at a time when there has been no Change of Control.

SECTION 2.2 - BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION FOR CAUSE.

          In the event that Ruby's employment with STI is terminated for Cause,
Ruby shall receive Ruby's full base compensation as earned through the Date of
Termination at the rate in effect at the time Notice of Termination is given.
Following payment of said amount, STI shall have no further obligations to Ruby
under this Agreement.


SECTION 2.3 - BENEFITS UPON TERMINATION OTHER THAN FOR CAUSE.

          In the event that the employment of Ruby shall be terminated during
the term of this Agreement due to a Change of Control, and not for Cause, then

     (a)  Ruby shall be entitled to receive: (I) a lump sum payment of a dollar
amount equal to 100% of Ruby's annual base salary in effect at the time of the
Change of Control; and (II) for a 24-month period after such termination, life,
disability, and health insurance coverage substantially the same as that which
Ruby received immediately prior to the Change of Control but increased to the
extent that such benefits were increased following the Change of Control (less
any withholding required pursuant to applicable law).

     (b)  all options to purchase securities of the Company then held by Ruby
shall be immediately exercisable, without regard to whether such options are
exercisable at such time pursuant to the terms of the documents under which such
options were granted;  provided that if such Change of Control is to be
accomplished through a tender offer or an exchange offer, such options shall be
exercisable and a time that shall permit Ruby to tneder the shares received upon
the exercise of the option in such tender or exchange offer;

     (c)  any securities of the Company then held by Ruby that are subject to
any restriction on transfer, other than restrictions imposed only by federal or
state securities laws, shall lapse and be of no further force and effect with
the result that Ruby shall be permitted to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose
of such securities without regard to any such restrictions.

SECTION 2.4 - NO MITIGATION.

          Ruby shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall the amount of any payment provided for in this Agreement be reduced or
offset by any compensation earned by Ruby as a result of employment by another
employer or by retirement benefits after the Date of Termination or otherwise.
Benefits payable pursuant to Section 2.3(II) of this Agreement shall cease to
the extent that Ruby is entitled to receive such benefits pursuant to the
benefit plans of another employer.


                                  MISCELLANEOUS


SECTION 3.1 - SUCCESSORS; BINDING AGREEMENT.

          STI will require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by
purchase, merger,  consolidation, or otherwise) to all or substantially all of
the business and/or assets of STI to expressly assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that STI would be required
to perform it if no such succession had taken place.  The failure of STI to
obtain such assumption agreement prior to the effectiveness of any such
succession shall be a breach of this Agreement and shall entitle Ruby to
compensation from STI in the same amount and on the same terms as Ruby would be
entitled to hereunder if Ruby had terminated Ruby's employment for Good Reason,
except that for purposes of implementing the foregoing, the date on which any
such succession becomes effective shall be deemed the Date of Termination.


SECTION 3.2 - SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

          This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by,
the personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors,
heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees of Ruby.  If Ruby should die after a
Change of Control and during the term of this Agreement and while any amount
would still be payable to Ruby hereunder if Ruby had continued to live, all such
amounts, unless otherwise provided herein, shall be paid in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement to Ruby's devisee, legatee or other designee or if there
is no such designee, Ruby's estate.


SECTION 3.3 - INVALID PROVISION.

          The invalidity or unenforceability of any provisions of this Agreement
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this
Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect.
<PAGE>

SECTION 3.4 - Ruby's Employment by STI.

          Nothing contained in this Agreement (i) obligates STI or any
subsidiary of STI to employ Ruby in any capacity whatsoever, or (ii) prohibits
or restricts STI (or any such subsidiary) from terminating the employment, if
any, of Ruby at any time or for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause.


     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this
agreement as of the date first set forth above.
