                      For the Quarter ended April 30, 1997


The financial statements of Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc. ("MMT" or
"Company") contained in this Form 10-Q are not comparable to the financial
statements contained in previous filings by Survival Technology, Inc. ("STI")
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") as a result of
the merger of Brunswick Biomedical Corporation ("Brunswick") with and into STI
to form the Company and significant, one-time, non-recurring adjustments in
connection with such merger.

Due to the substantial differences between the revenues and results of the
Company as compared to STI and Brunswick, management believes comparisons of the
Company's revenues and results against the proforma combined statements of STI
and Brunswick have the greatest utility.

A comparison of the Company's financial statements against unaudited, proforma
financial statements assuming Brunswick Biomedical and STI were fully merged
during all prior periods and one-time, non-recurring merger costs are excluded
for all periods presented is summarized below.

import. These forward-looking statements are based on the Company's current
expectations. Because forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainties,
the Company's actual results could differ materially. In addition to the factors
discussed generally herein, among the factors that could cause results to differ
materially from current expectations are: (i) any failure to comply with
covenants in the Company's financing arrangement; (ii) the general economic and
competitive markets and countries where the Company and its subsidiaries offer
products and services; (iii) changes in capital availability or costs; (iv)
fluctuations in demand for certain of the Company's products, including changes
in government procurement policy; (v) the continued commitment of customer and
strategic partners to the Company's products and programs; (vi) technological
challenges associated with the development and manufacture of current and
anticipated products; (vii) commercial acceptance of auto-injectors and new
products and competitive pressure from traditional and new drug delivery methods
and medical devices; and (viii) delay, costs and uncertainties associated with
government approvals required to market new drugs and medical devices.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

See accompanying notes to consolidated condensed financial statements.

A.    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
      condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
      normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the Company's
      financial position as of April 30, 1997 and July 31, 1996, the results of
      its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended April 30,
      1997 and 1996, and its cash flows for the nine-month periods ended April
      30, 1997 and 1996. The results of operations for the three-month and
      nine-month periods ended April 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of
      the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending July 31, 1997.

B.    On November 20, 1996, Brunswick Biomedical Corporation ("Brunswick") was
      merged into Survival Technology, Inc. ("STI") to form Meridian Medical
      Technologies, Inc. ("MMT" or the "Company"). At the time of the merger,
      Brunswick held approximately 61% of STI's outstanding common stock, which
      it had purchased from the estate of STI's late founder on April 15, 1996.
      As a result, STI had been treated for financial accounting purposes as a
      consolidated, majority-owned subsidiary of Brunswick from that date.

      Although STI was the surviving corporation of the merger as a legal
      matter, the merger was treated as a purchase of STI by Brunswick for
      financial accounting purposes. As a result, Brunswick's historical
      financial statements became the Company's financial statements, STI's
      assets and liabilities have been revalued to their respective fair values
      and Brunswick's historical financial statements will reflect the combined
      operations of STI and Brunswick after April 15, 1996 (subject to minority
      interests). The minority interests were eliminated upon completion of the
      merger on November 20, 1996.

      Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Brunswick's
      common stock was exchanged for 2.1 shares of STI's common stock and STI's
      common stock remained outstanding and unchanged. Each of Brunswick's
      outstanding shares of preferred stock was converted into a right to
      receive 2.1 shares of STI's common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.4 of
      a share of STI's common stock at an exercise price of $11.00 per share,
      exerciseable for a period of five years following the merger. In addition,
      STI assumed Brunswick's obligations under outstanding options and
      warrants. These provisions of the Merger Agreement resulted in 1,708,928
      shares of STI's common stock being issued in exchange for Brunswick stock
      at the time of the merger and may result in the issuance of an additional
      1,054,560 shares of STI's common stock if all options and warrants were
      exercised and the required consideration paid. Each of the 1,888,126
      shares of STI's common stock previously owned by Brunswick were retired in
      the merger. Following the merger, 2,912,502 shares of STI's common stock
      were outstanding. The transaction was approved by both STI's and
      Brunswick's shareholders.

      Upon completion of the merger, the surviving corporation's name was
      changed to Meridian Medical Technologies, Inc. Also, the fiscal year end
      of Brunswick was changed from June 30 to July 31 to correspond with the
      fiscal year end of STI.

      The Company's unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
      include Brunswick and STI's revenue and expenses for the three-month and
      nine-month periods ended April 30, 1997 and Brunswick's and STI's assets
      and liabilities as of July 31, 1996 (subject to minority interests) and
      April 30, 1997. The


<PAGE>


      Company's unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements as of an
      for the three-month and nine-month periods ended April 30, 1996 do not
      include STI balances. Other significant accounting principles and
      practices followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1 of the Notes to
      the June 30, 1996 Consolidated Financial Statements of Brunswick included
      in the STI proxy statement dated October 30, 1996.

C.    On November 20, 1996 Brunswick and STI completed the merger. The resulting
      merger of the 39% minority interest of STI was accounted for as a
      purchase. The purchase price was allocated first to tangible assets and
      identifiable intangible assets and liabilities of STI based on an
      independent assessment of their fair values, with the excess of fair value
      over the purchase price allocated to reduce proportionately the value
      assigned to noncurrent assets.

      The purchase price and purchase price allocation are summarized as
      follows:

      Stock exchanged                                 $11,885,000
      Transaction expenses                              1,200,000
                                                      -----------
      Purchase Price                                   13,085,000

      Historical net book value of assets
      acquired                                          6,788,500
                                                      -----------

      Excess of purchase price over historical net
      book value of assets acquired                   $ 6,296,500
                                                      ===========
                                                      

      Allocation of excess purchase price, reflecting proportionate allocation
      of negative goodwill:

      Decrease to property, plant and equipment       $  (308,991)
      In-process research and development               2,702,234
      Developed technology                              3,332,870
      Other intangible assets                             570,387
                                                      -----------

      Total                                           $ 6,296,500
                                                      ===========

      The developed technology and other intangible assets will be amortized on
      a straight-line basis over 10 years. The allocation of excess purchase
      price to in-process research and development represents the independent
      assessment of the fair value of a number of research and development
      projects whose technological feasibility has not yet been established.
      These research and development projects have no alternative future use
      and, therefore, have been charged to expense as of the date of
      consummation of the transaction.

D.    At the effective time of the merger ("Effective Time"), the Company
      assumed Brunswick's indebtedness under a senior bridge loan of $11
      million, a subordinated promissory note ("Note") of $4.7 million, and a
      subordinated loan ("Subordinated Loan") of $1 million. At the Effective
      Time, the senior bridge loan converted into a $10 million Term Loan ("Term
      Loan") and $1 million of the outstanding principal amount was repaid. In
      addition, the lenders of the senior bridge loan made available to the
      Company a $5 million revolving credit loan, a portion of which was used to
      discharge the Company's existing debt under the Merrill Lynch Business
      Financial Services' Line of Credit Agreement.


<PAGE>


      The Term Loan and the revolving credit loan bear interest at a variable
      rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 1.50% and the Prime Rate plus 1.25%,
      respectively. These loans are secured by substantially all of the assets
      of the Company and will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Effective
      Time. Quarterly principal payments on the Term Loan will be required in
      scheduled amounts ranging from $250,000 to $750,000, and mandatory
      prepayments of 75% of the Company's excess cash flow will be required on
      an annual basis. Financial covenants will require the Company to maintain
      certain levels of net worth and debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest,
      taxes, depreciation and amortization) ratios while limiting the Company's
      capital expenditures made in any one fiscal year. The Company was in
      compliance with the financial convenants as of April 30, 1997.

      The Note matures on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Time and bears
      interest at the rate of 12% per annum through April 15, 1998 and 13%
      thereafter. Through April 30, 1998, accrued interest will be compounded
      and added to principal. Thereafter, accrued interest is payable quarterly
      in arrears. Principal under the Note is payable in one payment on the
      maturity date. The Company may only prepay the Note after repaying all
      senior indebtedness, including the Term Loan and the revolving credit
      loan, or with the consent of the senior lender. The Company is obligated
      to prepay the Note, subject to the rights of the senior debt, upon
      obtaining certain additional debt and equity financings to the extent of
      the net cash proceeds from such financings.

      The Subordinated Loan matures on the same day as the Note and bears
      interest at the same rate as the Note. Principal of the Subordinated Loan
      is payable in seven consecutive quarterly installments of $125,000
      beginning on April 30, 1999, with one final payment on the maturity date.
      The Subordinated Loan may be prepaid only after satisfaction of the Term
      Loan, the revolving credit loan, or with the consent of the senior lender.
      The Company is obligated to prepay the Subordinated Loan, subject to the
      rights of the senior lender, upon obtaining certain additional debt and
      equity financings to the extent of the net cash proceeds from such
      finacings.

E.    A total of $2,446,332 in transaction expenses were incurred by Brunswick
      and STI to complete the merger. Of these costs, $1,200,000 was included as
      transaction expenses in the determination of the purchase price. The
      remaining costs amounting to $1,246,332 consisted of $1,075,670 incurred
      by STI which, as the acquired company, was expensed as of the transaction
      date and $170,662 of Brunswick transaction expenses not directly related
      to the merger, primarily directors and officers insurance premiums of
      $160,000.

      In October 1996, the Company signed an agreement 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 at April 30, 1997 is sufficient to cover future
      anticipated costs. The Company moved its corporate headquarters in
      December 1996.

H.    From August 1, 1996 through November 20, 1996, income tax provisions were
      calculated separately for Brunswick and STI. Thereafter, the income tax
      provision was calculated for MMT consisting of the combined Brunswick/STI
      entities. Through November 20, 1996 a tax provision of $415,000 was
      established based on STI's income before taxes of $1,098,000. During the
      period August 1, to November 20, 1996, Brunswick incurred a loss before
      income taxes of $1,382,000 and hence, no tax provision was established.

      As a result of net operating losses (NOL's) incurred by Brunswick in prior
      fiscal periods, the Company has significant NOL carry-forwards available
      to offset future tax obligations.

      The combined MMT operations incurred a loss for income taxes of $126,000
      in the second quarter and hence a $48,000 tax benefit was recorded.

I.    Average number of common shares outstanding for the three months and the
      nine months ended April 30, 1997 reflect the weighted average of Brunswick
      shares through the merger date and MMT shares thereafter. Brunswick shares
      were converted to STI shares at the ratio of 2.1 STI shares for each
      Brunswick share. The number of Brunswick common shares outstanding as of
      August 1, 1996 was 68,417. The number of MMT shares outstanding as of
      April 30, 1997, was 2,912,502. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting
      Standards Board issued Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is
      required to be adopted in the Company's quarter ending January 31, 1998.
      At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently
      used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under
      the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
      diluted effect of stock options will be excluded. The Company has not yet
      determined the impact of adopting this new accounting standard.

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

The Quarter and Nine Months in Review

On November 20, 1996, Brunswick Biomedical Corporation ("Brunswick") was merged
into Survival Technology, Inc. ("STI") to form Meridian Medical Technologies,
Inc. ("MMT" or the "Company"). At the time of the merger, Brunswick held
approximately 61% of STI's outstanding common stock, which it had purchased from
the estate of STI's late founder on April 15, 1996. As a result, STI had been
treated for financial accounting purposes as a consolidated, majority-owned
subsidiary of Brunswick from that date.

Although STI was the surviving corporation of the merger as a legal matter, the
merger was treated as a purchase of STI by Brunswick for financial accounting
purposes. As a result, Brunswick's historical financial statements became the
Company's financial statements, STI's assets and liabilities have been revalued
to their respective fair values and Brunswick's historical financial statements
reflect the combined operations of STI and Brunswick after April 15, 1996
(subject to minority interests). The minority interests were eliminated upon
completion of the merger on November 20, 1996.

For the reasons described above, the financial statements of the Company
contained in this Form 10-Q are not comparable to the financial statements
contained in reports previously filed by STI with the Commission, and, due to
substantial differences between the revenues and results of STI and Brunswick,
comparisons of results between periods before and after the purchase of
Brunswick's interest in STI are of limited utility. This report on Form 10Q
includes comparisons to STI and Brunswick's combined proforma financial
statements to enhance the utility of the information herein.

MMT's business plan following the merger is to operate as a medical device
company focusing on Early Intervention Home Healthcare and Emergency Medical
Technologies. The Company has three business units. The Drug Delivery Systems
business unit capitalizes on injectable drug delivery devices with an emphasis
on commercial auto-injectors. This business unit also supplies customized drug
delivery system design, pharmaceutical research and development, and sterile
product manufacturing to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. The
Cardiopulmonary Systems business unit focuses on non-invasive cardiac
diagnostics and telemedicine. It is continuing the research and development
activities for the PRIME ECG(TM) program, an 80-lead cardiac mapping system for
rapid and improved diagnostic accuracy of cardiac ischemia and is planning a US
expansion of its telemedicine business. The STI Military Systems business unit
focuses on the world-wide market for auto-injectors used by military personnel
for self-administration of nerve gas antidotes, morphine and diazepam.

Financial Discussion

MMT earned a net profit of $589,400 ($0.20 per share) on sales of $10.7 million
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 ended April 30, 1997 compared with a net
loss of $4.3 million on sales of $2.7 million in the same period of fiscal 1996.
The Company incurred a net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 of $4.4
million ($2.69 per share) on sales of $29.7 million compared with a net loss of
$5.1 million on sales of $4.4 million during the nine-month period ended April
30, 1996. The comparative third quarter loss and nine month loss included a
write-off totaling $4.5 million for in-process research and development
associated with the revaluation of STI's assets when Brunswick acquired its 61%
share on April 15, 1996. (See STI's proxy dated October 30, 1996.) A more

Quarter Ended April 30, 1997 and 1996

Revenues were $10.7 million in the current quarter compared to $10.3 million in
the prior year quarter, a gain of 4 percent. The increase resulted from
continued strength in the EpiPen(R) and EpiE-Zpen(R) products, initial revenue
from Mylan Laboratories under a previously announced contract for development of
injectable drug formulations, as well as higher auto-injector sales to the USDoD
for restocking.

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

under the Base Maintenance Program and higher auto-injector sales to NATO allied
countries. Gross margins were 35.6 percent in the current quarter compared to
27.0 percent in the prior year quarter. The increase reflects higher revenues
and the continuation of the cost reduction programs initiated at the time of the
merger partially offset by reserve provision of approximately $500,000
established for product and equipment writedowns. Operating expenses were $2.8
million in the current quarter compared to $2.5 million in the prior year
quarter. The higher cost results primarily from development cost for the TRUJECT
auto-injector platform and development cost for the PRIME ECG(R) cardiac mapping
system and higher amortization of step-up valuation from the merger. Other
expense was $373,000 in the current quarter compared to $122,000 in the prior
year quarter. The increased cost reflects interest cost related to merger debt
partially offset by a benefit of $285,000 due to adjustment of interest cost
which was over accrued in the prior quarter.

Nine months ended April 30, 1997 and 1996

MMT reported a loss of $4.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997.
Negatively impacting the nine month financial results was the recording of
one-time, non-recurring merger related costs of $3.9 million. These adjustments
consisted of (1) write-off of $2.7 million of in-process research and
development which represents the allocation of excess purchase price to
in-process research and development projects whose technical feasibility has not
yet been established and (2) the write-off of $1.2 million of merger cost
incurred by STI. Revenues for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 were $29.7
million compared to revenues of $25.9 million in the prior year period. The
increase of 14 percent results from strong demand for its core products plus
increased STI Military System shipments of auto-injectors to the USDoD for
restocking under its Base Maintenance Program and increased shipments of
auto-injectors to NATO allied countries. Gross margins for the nine months ended
April 30, 1997 were 36.5 percent compared to gross margins of 29.6 percent in
the prior year period. The increase reflects higher revenues coupled with
continued cost reductions from programs initiated with the merger. Operating
expenses for the nine months ended April 30, 1997 was $8.8 million compared to
operating expenses of $7.1 million in the prior year period. The higher cost
primarily results from higher development cost for the TRUJECT auto-injector
platform and the PRIME ECG(R) mapping systems and higher amortization of step-up
valuations from the merger. Other expense for the nine months ended April 30,
1997 was $1.9 million compared to other expense in the prior year period of
$202,000. The increased cost results from interest cost attributable to the
$16.7 million principal balance on organization debt (see liquidity and capital
resources section following) and the higher utilization of the Company's line of
credit facility to finance transaction costs associated with the merger.

Net income, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), and earnings before
interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), exclusive of one-time,
non-recurring merger related adjustments increased due to the factors discussed
above for both the quarter and nine-months ended April 30, 1997 compared to
proforma combined results of the prior year.

            Results of Operations


Business Discussion

Meridian has three business units. The Drug Delivery Systems business unit
recorded revenues of $4.8 million in the fiscal third quarter ended April 30,
1997 and $13.9 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997. Third quarter
revenues reflected the continued strength of EpiPen(R) and EpiE-Zpen(R) products
as well as $900,000 of revenues from Mylan Laboratories under a previously
announced contract for development of generic injectable drug formulations. YTD
revenues for the Drug Delivery Systems business unit were $13.9 million, an
increase of $2.0 million versus prior year primarily from stronger sales of the
EpiPen and EpiE-Zpen(R) products. In addition to the agreement with Mylan
Laboratories, new strategic alliances were initiated and signed to license,
develop and manufacture generic injectable drugs for the Canadian market with an
option for the marketing rights in Europe. Meridian filed three Abridged New
Drug Applications (ANDA) for generic injectable drugs during the current year.

The STI Military Systems business unit recorded revenues of $5.0 million the
fiscal third quarter and $13.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997.
Current quarter and nine month revenues resulted from shipments of
auto-injectors to the USDoD for restocking under the Base Maintenance Program
and higher shipments of auto-injectors to a NATO allied governments. Additional
orders have been received from the USDoD for delivery of ComboPens and AtroPens
for delivery in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year. The STI Military Systems
business unit strategy includes pursuing development of a Morphine
auto-injector, a new multichamber auto-injector and new markets in both the US
and Europe for civil defense utilizing our AtroPen auto-injector.

The Cardiopulmonary Systems business unit recorded shipments of telemedicine
products, primarily the Cardiobeeper(R), totaling $0.8 million for the current
quarter and $2.4 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1997. This business
unit is actively pursing a strategic alliance to market the CardioBeeper CB-12L
cardiac monitor which recently received clearance by the US Food and Drug
Administration. The Cardiopulmonary Systems business unit continues its strategy
to pursue strategic partners to market the PRIME ECG(R) cardiac analysis system
and is pursuing options to dispose of non-core businesses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

The Company's cash balance at April 30, 1997 was $635,300. During the nine
months ended April 30, 1997 net cash usage was $853,600. Cash generated from
operations was $2.3 million offset by cash used for investing activities of $2.5
million and financing activities of $567,600. Cash generated from operations
resulted primarily from net income, exclusive of non-cash charges, plus
increases in accounts payable. Investing cash usage was primarily for capital
equipment while financing cash usage was primarily for payment of a bridge loan
incurred with the merger offset in part by increased borrowing on the Company's
line of credit.

Debt

At the effective time of the merger ("Effective Time"), the Company assumed
Brunswick's indebtedness. (See Note D to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statement in

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

this 10-Q submission). Meridian's total long term debt at April 30, 1997 was
$13.8 millions, $1.5 million less than at July 31, 1996. Long-term debt maturing
in one year amounts to $575,000 with the remaining debt maturing by November 20,
2001. Under the terms of the senior bridge loan with ING (U.S.) Capital
Corporation ("ING") and the subordinated promissory note with the late founder's
estate, principal payments were deferred and interest was applied to principal
rather then paid. These third quarter transactions increased the principal
amounts owed ING by $243,500 and increased the principal amount owed the estate
by $152,800.

Meridian did not incur any new debt instruments during the third quarter. Total
cash payments for principal and interest, excluding payments for the line of
credit were $136,500, of which $29,800 was for interest.

The revolving credit line of $5 million with ING ended the quarter with a
balance of $4.2 million leaving available cash liquidity of $758,000 under the
credit line.

The Company is continuing to seek external financing through strategic partners
or alliances with entities interested in and with the resources to support the
Company's research programs and activities. The Company also is exploring
alternatives to restructure all or a portion of its indebtedness. No assurance
can be given that the Company will be successful in finding strategic partners
or alliances or restructuring its indebtedness. A failure to obtain additional
financing or restructure the debt could require the Company to curtail planned
and pending research programs as well as certain other operations.

Balance Sheet Review

Working capital at April 30, 1997 was $1.3 million, a reduction of $3.1 million
from the July 31, 1996 level. The reduction resulted primarily from higher
levels of short-term borrowings under the Company's revolving credit agreement,
higher levels of accounts payable and accrued liabilities partially offset by
increased inventories. Higher levels of accounts payable and accrued liabilities
result from merger related activities. Increased inventories support anticipated
higher shipments in near term. Capital expenditures totaled $2.5 million of
which $611,000 was financed by outside sources during the nine months ended
April 30, 1997 which consisted primarily of equipment to implement cost
reduction programs and capacity additions at MMT's St.
Louis manufacturing facility.

Increases in developed technology, patents and licenses and other intangible
assets increased as a result of the merger of STI and Brunswick on November 20,
1997.
