                 PACE MEDICAL, INC. AND WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these notes
have been condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. See notes to audited consolidated financial
statements contained in the Company's annual report.

2. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring,
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiary as of March 31, 2001 and the results of their operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000 and their cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and March 31, 2000.

3. The Company prepares its financial information using the same accounting
principles as for its annual financial statements except that no physical
inventories were taken during either of the periods ended March 31, 2001 or
2000. Cost of sales for such periods was calculated primarily using standard
cost methods.

4. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

5. The denominator used to determine basic net income (loss) per share includes
the weighted average common shares outstanding during the quarter. The
denominator used to determine diluted net income per share includes the shares
used in the calculation of basic net income per share plus the weighted average
options outstanding during the period using the treasury-stock method.

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

As of March 31, 2001, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,191,175
and working capital of $1,963,177. The working capital at March 31, 2001 was
essentially the same as at December 31, 2000.

The Company expects to maintain a sound financial base for the balance of fiscal
2001. Management continues to believe that the current level of working capital,
coupled with the flexibility of the Company's cost structure, should suffice to
ensure that on-going operations are financed adequately.

FINANCIAL RESULTS -- THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2001 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED
MARCH 31, 2000

Sales in the first quarter of 2001 decreased 10% from the sales posted in the
first quarter of 2000. The decrease in sales was due to a decrease in our OEM
business.

The Company's margins in the first quarter were lower than those seen in 2000
(59% in 2000 and 50% in 2001). The decrease was primarily due to higher fixed
costs combined with a slowdown in production caused by component shortages.

Operating expenses were lower in the three months ended March 31, 2001 versus
the three months ended March 31, 2000, principally due to the pound weakening
against the dollar relative to the first quarter of 2000. Management anticipates
some increase in its operating expenditures during the balance of 2001.

No tax provision was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2001 owing to
the Company's ability to use net operating loss carryforwards in both the U.S.
and United Kingdom.

Net income for the quarter was $35,276 or $.01 per share in contrast to $84,987
or $0.03 per share in the first quarter of 2000.
