              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

      The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Maxxim Medical, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the Company). The Company develops, manufactures and markets
specialty hospital products.

      The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods presented. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

      These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's annual audited financial statements for the year ended November 3,
1996, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

      Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1996 condensed
consolidated financial statements to conform with the fiscal 1997 presentation.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Commencing in fiscal year 1994 the Company implemented a fiscal year which
ends on the Sunday nearest to the end of the month of October. Normally each
fiscal year will consist of 52 weeks, but every five or six years, the fiscal
year will consist of 53 weeks. For fiscal 1997 the year end date will be
November 2 compared to a 1996 year end date of November 3. Fiscal 1997 will
consist of 52 weeks. The first quarter of fiscal 1997 ended on February 2
compared to the fiscal 1996 quarter end date of February 4.

Note 3 - Translation of Foreign Currency Financial Statements

      Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries have been translated into
United States dollars at the applicable rates of exchange in effect at the end
of the period reported. Revenues and expenses have been translated at the
applicable weighted average rates of exchange in effect during the period
reported. Translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of
stockholders' equity.

Note 4 - Earnings Per Share

      Earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares and common stock equivalents outstanding for the period. For purposes of
this calculation, outstanding stock options are considered common stock
equivalents using the treasury stock method. On a fully diluted basis, both net
income available to common shareholders and shares outstanding are adjusted to
assume the conversion of the 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures from the
date of issue.

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)

Note 5 - Estimates Involved in Preparing the Condensed  Consolidated Financial
         Statements

      The Company's interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with
the same accounting policies as those followed at year end. Certain items in the
financial statements can be determined on an interim basis only by making
accounting estimates. The accuracy of such amounts is dependent upon facts that
will exist and procedures that will be accomplished by the Company later in the
year. Certain of the significant accounting estimates related to the
accompanying statements are stated below.

Inventories -

      The Company makes a physical count of portions of its inventory at or near
year end. The amount reflected as inventory as of February 2, 1997 and the
related amount for the cost of sales have been determined using the Company's
normal accounting procedures. In management's opinion, no significant adjustment
would have been required had an actual count of the inventory been made.
Inventory as of February 2, 1997 and November 3, 1996 included the following:

                                             February 2,         November 3,

                                       ======           ===== 

      NET SALES -- Net Sales for the first fiscal quarter of 1997 increased
54.0% to $133,401,000 from $86,600,000 in the first fiscal quarter of 1996. This
increase is primarily due to the Sterile Concepts acquisition which was
consummated at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

      GROSS PROFIT -- In the first quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company's gross
profit increased to $31,998,000, compared to $25,234,000 reported in the first
quarter of last year. The Company's gross profit rate declined from 29.1% in the
first quarter of fiscal 1996 to 24.0% in the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
increase in dollars and the decline in rate are both attributable to the Sterile
Concepts acquisition which added significant sales volume at lower gross margin
rates compared to the Company's prior year fiscal quarter.

ITEM 2.     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION - (Continued)

      OPERATING EXPENSES -- Operating expenses for the first quarter were
$21,747,000 or 16.3% of net sales for fiscal 1997 compared to $18,743,000 or
21.6% of net sales for fiscal 1996. The increase in operating expenditures was
directly attributable to the Sterile Concepts acquisition and the decrease in
the operating expense rate to sales was primarily attributable to cost savings
that resulted from combining the sales, distribution and administrative
functions of the Sterile Concepts operations with the existing operations of the
Company.

      INCOME FROM OPERATIONS -- Income from operations increased to $10,251,000,
or 7.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $6,491,000, or
7.5% of net sales, in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. This is an
increase of 57.9% over the prior fiscal period.

      INTEREST EXPENSE -- The Company's interest expense increased to $5,541,000
in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from $1,987,000 in the first quarter of
fiscal 1996. The increase in interest expense for the quarter is directly
related to the debt instruments established to finance the Sterile Concepts
acquisition.

      OTHER INCOME -- A one-time gain of $1,510,000 from the sale of investment
securities was included in other income for the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

      INCOME TAXES -- The Company's effective tax rate for the first quarter of
fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996 was 39.4% and 37.1%, respectively. The percentage
increase is primarily due to non-deductible goodwill expense recorded with the
Sterile Concepts acquisition.

      NET INCOME -- As a result of the foregoing, net income increased 26.8% for
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to $3,459,000 from $2,727,000 reported in the
comparable period of last year. Fully diluted earnings per share were $0.38 and
$0.31 for the first quarters of fiscal years 1997 and 1996, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At February 2, 1997 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
$5,614,000, working capital of $113,763,000, long-term liabilities of
$242,838,000 and shareholders' equity of $124,242,000. For the three months
ended February 2, 1997 net cash provided by operations was $7,060,000 versus
$1,369,000 provided by operations for the three months ended February 4, 1996.

      On February 2, 1997 the outstanding balance on the term loan and revolver
was $87,000,000 and $34,350,000, respectively, resulting in $40,650,000 of
availability on the revolver at the end of the first quarter.

      The Company believes that its present cash balances together with
internally generated cash flows and borrowings under its existing credit
facility will be sufficient to meet its future working capital requirements.
