NOTE C - COMMON STOCK (continued)

  Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, no shares were purchased during
    the thirteen weeks ended August 30, 1997.


NOTE D - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

  The Company is presently a defendant in a product liability action.  This
    suit claims damages based upon alleged injuries resulting from the use
    of one of the Company's products.  The action is in its early stages and
    while the Company is actively defending against the claim, it is unable
    to predict its outcome.  The Company does not believe that the ultimate
    outcome in this action will have a material adverse effect on the
    consolidated financial statements.

  During August 1997, the Company settled a product liability action in
    which it had been a defendant.  Such action was settled for an amount
    under the Company's insurance limit and the amount contributed by the
    Company was not material to its consolidated financial statements.

  The Company has been sued by Olympia Holding Corporation p/k/a P-I-E
    Nationwide, Inc. for $443,830.  The suit, filed on October 5, 1992, is
    presently pending in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District
    of Florida.  The Company is being represented in this action by a law
    firm which is also representing numerous other defendants being sued by
    the same plaintiff on the same grounds - recovery for alleged
    undercharges for freight carriage.  It is not possible, at this stage,
    to determine what, if any, liability exists with respect to the Company
    in this matter.  The Company will vigorously defend against this action;
    it has been informed by legal counsel that there exist numerous valid
    defenses to this case.

  In August 1997, the Company acquired approximately 25% of ITI Medical
    Technologies, Inc. ("ITI") for $1,300,000, to be paid in three
    installments over a six month period commencing with the payment of
    $500,000 made in August 1997.  ITI is a California corporation, based in
    Livermore, California, which develops and manufactures MRI diagnostic
    and therapeutic medical devices.  The Company's investment in ITI is
    accounted for by the equity method.  Pursuant to this method, such
    investment is recorded at cost and adjusted by the Company's share of
    undistributed earnings (or losses).  The results of operations of ITI
    were not material to the consolidated financial statements of the
    Company for the interim period ended August 30, 1997.


NOTE E - RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year amounts to
    conform to the current year presentation.

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


Quarters ended August 30, 1997 and August 31, 1996
--------------------------------------------------

     The Company's quarters ended August 30, 1997 and August 31, 1996 both
represent thirteen weeks.

Results of Operations
---------------------

     Segment Overview
     ----------------

     The Company operates in two industry segments:  Diagnostic products and
AngioDynamics products.

     The Diagnostic products industry segment includes both contrast systems
and non-contrast systems.  Diagnostic product sales, net of intersegment
eliminations, increased 11% in the quarter and accounted for 81% of net
sales in the current quarter versus 80% in the comparable period of last
year.  The AngioDynamics products industry segment includes CO2/angiography
products, therapeutic products and coronary products used in the
interventional medicine marketplace.  AngioDynamics product sales, net of
intersegment eliminations, increased 6% in the quarter and represented 19%
of net sales in the current quarter versus 20% in the comparable period of
the prior year.

     Diagnostic segment operating results for the current quarter improved
by $857,000 due to the 11% sales increase, as well as reduced operating
expenses of $515,000.  Diagnostic results for both the current quarter and
comparative quarter of last year were adversely affected by unabsorbed
overhead costs associated with the relocation of a portion of the Company's
contrast systems manufacturing operations.  The effects of the relocation
will continue to be felt through the second quarter of the current fiscal
year, resulting in lower than normal Canadian gross profit.

     AngioDynamics segment results for the current quarter were adversely
affected by increased operating expenses of $581,000, as well as lower gross
profit.  Although domestic sales improved by $964,000, due to continued
market penetration, international sales decreased $706,000, due to a decline
in sales of the AngioStent(TM).  Increased operating expenses can be
attributed, in part, to the acquisition of Leocor and the start-up of a
facility in Ireland in the third quarter of last fiscal year.  Gross profit
expressed as a percentage of net sales declined to 39% during the current
quarter versus 51% during the comparable quarter of the prior year due
primarily to lower stent sales, price erosion in the coronary stent
marketplace, and manufacturing inefficiencies at the Irish facility.  The
AngioDynamics segment incurred an operating loss of $680,000 in the current
quarter, as compared to operating profit of $419,000 in the comparable
quarter of the prior year.

     Consolidated Results of Operations
     ----------------------------------

     For the quarter ended August 30, 1997, the Company reported net
earnings of $128,000, or $.01 per common share on both a primary and fully
diluted basis, as compared to net earnings of $513,000, or $.05 per common


                                      -11-
<PAGE>


share on both a primary and fully diluted basis, for the comparable period
of last year.

     Results for the current quarter were adversely affected by increased
operating expenses, as well as lower gross profit, in the AngioDynamics
segment.  The increased operating expenses can be attributed, in part, to
the acquisition of Leocor and the start-up of the Irish facility.  The
decline in gross profit is due primarily to lower stent sales, price erosion
in the coronary stent marketplace, and manufacturing inefficiencies at the
Irish facility.  Results for both the current quarter and comparative
quarter of last year were adversely impacted by unabsorbed overhead costs
associated with the manufacturing site relocation.

     Net sales for the quarter ended August 30, 1997 increased 10%, or
$2,358,000, as compared to the quarter ended August 31, 1996, due primarily
to increased sales of non-contrast systems of $1,476,000, including $721,000
relating to custom contracts, and contrast systems of $901,000.  Price
increases had no effect on net sales in the current quarter, although the
Diagnostic segment continued to experience price pressures due to increased
sales to group purchasing organizations.  Net sales in international
markets, including direct exports from the U.S., increased 1%, or $80,000,
in the current quarter versus the comparable period of last year due to
increased sales of non-contrast systems of $907,000, including $721,000
relating to custom contracts, partially offset by decreased sales of
AngioDynamics products of $705,000 and contrast systems of $122,000.

     Gross profit expressed as a percentage of net sales decreased to 38%
during the current quarter versus 42% during the comparable quarter of the
prior year due primarily to reduced AngioDynamics gross profit as well as
increased Diagnostic sales discounts to group purchasing organizations.  The
decline in AngioDynamics gross profit is due primarily to lower stent sales,
price erosion in the coronary stent marketplace, and manufacturing
inefficiencies at the Irish facility.  During the current and prior year
quarter, gross profit was negatively impacted by unabsorbed overhead costs
associated with the manufacturing site relocation approximating $524,000 and
$719,000, respectively.

     Selling and administrative ("S&A") expenses were $7,915,000 during the
quarter ended August 30, 1997 versus $7,835,000 during the quarter ended
August 31, 1996.  This increase of $80,000, or 1%, in the current quarter
was principally due to increased AngioDynamics S&A expenses of $714,000,
partially offset by decreased Diagnostic S&A expenses of $634,000.
Increased AngioDynamics S&A expenses can be attributed, in part, to the
acquisition of Leocor and the start-up of a facility in Ireland in the third
quarter of last fiscal year.

     Research and development ("R&D") expenditures decreased 1% in the
current quarter to $1,509,000, or 6% of net sales, from $1,523,000, or 7% of
net sales, in the comparable quarter of the prior year.  Of the R&D
expenditures in the current quarter, approximately 36% relate to contrast
systems, 28% to AngioDynamics projects, 4% to immunological projects, 21% to
other projects and 11% to general regulatory costs.  R&D expenditures are
expected to continue at approximately current levels.

     Other income, net of expenses, decreased $303,000 in the current
quarter versus the comparable period of last year due primarily to increased
foreign currency exchange losses of $143,000, as well as increased interest
expense of $128,000, resulting from AngioDynamics bank financing.

     The Company's effective tax rate of 39% during the quarter ended August
30, 1997 differed from the Federal statutory tax rate of 34% due primarily
to non-deductible expenses and losses incurred in a foreign jurisdiction
subject to lower tax rates, partially offset by earnings of the Company's
Puerto Rican subsidiary, which are subject to favorable U.S. tax treatment,
and tax-exempt interest income.  For the quarter ended August 31, 1996, the
Company's effective tax rate of 28% differed from the Federal statutory tax
rate of 34% due primarily to earnings of the Puerto Rican subsidiary, which
are subject to favorable U.S. tax treatment, tax-exempt interest income, and
the utilization of certain foreign net operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     During the quarter ended August 30, 1997, investment in affiliate and
capital expenditures were funded primarily by proceeds from the issuance of
bank debt.  In the past, the Company's policy has been to fund capital
requirements without incurring significant debt.  At August 30, 1997, debt
(notes payable, current maturities of long-term debt and long-term debt) was
$9,293,000 as compared to $8,388,000 at May 31, 1997.  The Company has
available $12,159,000 under four bank lines of credit of which $7,677,000
was outstanding at August 30, 1997.

     The Company's current policy is to issue stock dividends.  During the
third quarter of fiscal years 1995 and 1996 and the fourth quarter of fiscal
year 1997, the Company issued 3% stock dividends.

     Presently, the Company is continuing to look for both new and
complementary lines of business for expansion in order to ensure its
continued growth.

     At August 30, 1997, approximately 60% of the Company's assets consist
of inventories, accounts receivable, debt and equity securities, and cash
and cash equivalents.  Prior to fiscal 1998, inventories have increased at a
greater rate than sales as a result of broadened product lines, and safety
stock during the relocation of a portion of the Company's contrast systems
manufacturing operations.  The current ratio is 2.96 to 1, with net working
capital of $42,857,000 at August 30, 1997, as compared to the current ratio
of 3.07 to 1, with net working capital of $43,115,000 at May 31, 1997.

     In August 1997, the Company acquired approximately 25% of ITI Medical
Technologies, Inc. ("ITI") for $1,300,000, to be paid in three installments
over a six month period commencing with the payment of $500,000 made in
August 1997.  ITI is a California corporation, based in Livermore,
California, which develops and manufactures MRI diagnostic and therapeutic
medical devices.
