                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS.

Cross Medical Products is a medical device company that develops and
distributes spinal implant products.  Cross' stainless steel and titanium
spinal implants are used by surgeons to obtain fusion of the vertebral body
in areas of the spine affected by degenerative diseases, deformities, trauma
and tumors.  The spinal implant stabilizes the spine while fusion occurs, and
assists in preventing the bone graft material (which is typically used in the
areas of the spine where the disc has been removed) from collapsing or
migrating.

In 1996, Cross Medical Products, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation,
formerly known as Danninger Medical Technology, Inc. and subsidiaries, was
engaged in two distinct business segments of the orthopedic device industry:
(1)  the design, manufacture, distribution and rental of orthopedic
rehabilitation products ("Recovery Products") and (2)  the design, manufacture
and marketing of implants and instruments for the surgical treatment of
degenerative diseases, deformities and trauma of the spine ("Spinal Implants
business").  On March 12, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the
assets and the buyer assumed substantially all of the liabilities of the
Recovery Products segment.  The Company will focus exclusively on the
development of new products and increasing market penetration both domestically
and internationally for its Spinal Implant business.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the following discussion relates only
to the continuing operations of the Spinal Implant business.  On March 21,
1997, the Company formally changed its name to Cross Medical Products, Inc.

On February 12, 1998, the Company announced that it had entered into a
definitive merger agreement with Interpore International, a
California-based company.  The agreement, a merger of equals, calls for each
shareholder of the Company to receive 1.275 shares of Interpore common stock
in exchange for each of their shares of the Company's common stock.  It is
anticipated that the transaction will be consumated after the customary
conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by the shareholders of
each company and will close prior to the end of the second quarter of 1998.

Interpore International is a biomaterials company specializing in the
development, manufacture and marketing of synthetic bone and tissue products
for use in the orthopaedic markets.

SPINAL IMPLANT PRODUCTS

The Company's principle product line is the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System.
The Company formed its Medical Advisory Board and began development of the
SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System in 1992.  The SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant
System is a "universal" implant system that allows surgeons to treat both the
thoracic (middle) and lumbar (lower) portions of the spine, allowing use of
the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System in approximately 70% of all instrumented
spinal fusion surgeries in the United States.  The SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant
System is flexible, strong, and easy for surgeons to use.  The SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System does not demand that surgeons follow a single surgical
protocol, rather, it provides several options.  Implants come in various sizes
and types to meet the surgeon's preferences and the patient's anatomy,
providing a secure anatomic fit for virtually any pathology.  The SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System features unique implant locking mechanism designs that,
combined with the use of nitrogen-strengthened stainless steel, allow surgeons
to assemble constructs of exceptional strength while keeping the profile
extremely low.  The SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System was engineered to be
easy for surgeons to use, reducing surgical time and requiring less
manipulation.  The screws and hooks are top tightening, the rods do not
require pre-loading of additional components, and all implants allow for free
rod rotation.

The Company received 510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the anterior
portion of the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System in October 1994 and for the
posterior portion of the system in July 1995.  In September 1996, the Company
developed a titanium version of the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System for
international distribution.  The Company received FDA marketing clearance for
the anterior portion of the titanium version in October 1995 and the posterior
portion in January 1997.  Titanium implant systems are preferred in many
foreign markets and are used in the United States in cases where magnetic
resonance imaging of the spinal area is anticipated to be needed.  The Company
is currently developing a cervical version of the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant
System.  The cervical implant version will permit surgeons to treat the
cervical (upper) portion of the spine and, if successful, will expand the
Company's product line to cover 100% of instrumental spinal fusion surgeries.
The Company believes that the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System is one of the
few "universal" spinal implant systems on the market.

In March 1997, the Company entered into a license agreement with Polaris
Biotechnology, Inc. to develop and market a spinal cage implant.  Spinal cage
implants provide a supporting framework for bone in-growth for patients with
trauma, tumors, or degenerative diseases.  Distribution of the spinal cage
implant within the United States is subject to regulatory approval which will
involve clinical trials, while international distribution is expected to begin
in the second half of 1998.

The initial spinal implant system offered by the Company in 1988 was the
Puno/Winter/Byrd Screw/Rod System (the "PWB Screw/Rod System") for fusion of
the lumbar spine.  The Company elected to market the PWB Screw/Rod System in
the United States for clinical studies under an Investigational Device
Exemption ("IDE").  The IDE allowed the Company to develop a clinical study in
order to gather the data necessary to assess safety and efficacy of the PWB
Screw/Rod System.  The IDE did not permit commercial distribution and limited
use of the PWB Screw/Rod System to a small number of surgeons participating in
the study.  The study and patient follow-up has been completed and the Company
is considering filing a Pre-Market Application ("PMA") with the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration ("FDA").

After developing the PWB Screw/Rod System, the Company also developed lumbar
hooks for the treatment of unstable, degenerative conditions of the lumbar
spine.  The lumbar hooks, when used in conjunction with rods and sacral screws,
comprise the Puno/Winter/Byrd Lumbosacral System (the "PWB Lumbosacral System").
The PWB Lumbosacral System did not require clinical study and the Company
received 510(k) clearance from the FDA in April 1992, permitting marketing,
sale and use of the PWB Lumbosacral System.  In May 1993, the Company received
510(k) clearance from the FDA to market the INTEGRAL(tm) Screw System.  The
INTEGRAL(tm) Screw System was developed to be used with the PWB Lumbosacral
System, allowing surgeons the option of additional diameters as well as a more
rigid construct.  It also allowed the Company to expand its potential market
penetration as spinal surgeons sought more rigid constructs, while the Company
developed its next generation of implants.

SPINAL IMPLANT MARKETING.  The Company markets its spinal implant products to
orthopedic and neurological spine surgeons throughout the world.  The Company
estimates that more than 2,000 physicians perform spinal surgery in the United
States, primarily in major metropolitan areas.  Typically, the surgeon
determines the type of spinal implant system.  The Company believes that the
key to its marketing success in the United States is to convince spinal
s the type of spinal implant system.  The Company believes that the
key to its marketing success in the United States is to convince spinal
surgeons of the efficacy of its implant system.  This is done through direct
selling efforts by the Company's independent sales representatives and direct
marketing to the surgeons, participation by the Company in sponsoring
symposiums and training workshops, and through the education and training
efforts of the members of the Company's Medical Advisory Board.

The Company markets its spinal implant products through a network of thirty
independent commissioned sales agencies.  The Company considers the quality of
its independent sales agencies and the level of training and service they
provide to surgeons to be a very important factor in its success, second only
to the technological advantages of its spinal implant products.  The
independent sales agencies are prohibited from marketing competing spinal
implant products.  However, they are permitted to market non-competing implants
and other orthopedic products.  Spinal implant device inventories are consigned
to the independent sales agencies.  The SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System
contains a variety of related implantable devices from which the surgeon can
choose during each surgical procedure.  After each procedure, the hospital is
invoiced by the Company for the implant devices actually used, and the consigned
inventory is replenished.

Foreign sales of spinal implants and instrumentation represented approximately
$5.1 million, or 39.7%, of the Company's total sales of spinal implants and
instruments in fiscal 1997.  The Company has been able to market the SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System in those countries where governmental approval either is
not required or was obtained more quickly than in the United States.  The
Company markets its spinal implants through the individual distributors in each
country who purchase implants and instrumentation directly from the Company.
The Company has distributors in approximately twenty-two countries and intends
to continue to seek qualified distributors in other foreign markets.

MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD.  The Company has established a Medical Advisory Board
consisting of prominent spinal surgeons.  The Medical Advisory Board meets
periodically to review and evaluate the Company's research and development
efforts and to identify promising new technologies for the Company.  Individual
members of the Medical Advisory Board also meet and consult informally with
employees of the Company.  In addition, members of the Medical Advisory Board
assist the Company in training other surgeons in the use of the Company's
products.  Members of the Medical Advisory Board receive a fixed quarterly
payment from the Company and share an annual royalty payment based on sales of
certain of the Company's spinal implant products.  The Company is obligated to
pay a royalty, subject to certain limitations, to its Medical Advisory Board
in an amount equal to 6.5% (and increasing 1/2% annually, up to 8%) of the net
revenues generated from the sales of certain spinal implant products.  The
Company's aggregate royalty expense will increase, if and to the extent, sales
of implants increase.  The following doctors are members of the Medical Advisory
Board:

        Robert B. Winter, M.D., Chairman                Minneapolis, MN
        J. Abbott Byrd, M.D.                            Norfolk, VA
        Rolando M. Puno, M.D.                           Louisville, KY
        John Lonstein, M.D.                             Minneapolis, MN
        Joseph Perra, M.D.                              Minneapolis, MN
        Manuel Pinto, M.D.                              Minneapolis, MN
        Michael Smith, M.D.                             Minneapolis, MN

COMPETITION

Many companies compete in the spinal implant market and competition is intense.
The Company believes that its largest competitors in the United States offering
spinal implant systems are Sofamor Danek Group, Inc. and Acromed, Inc., each of
which has substantially greater sales and financial resources than the Company.
The Company also competes with many other companies that offer similar products.
Other companies have developed and are marketing products based on technologies
that are different from the Company's, including spinal fusion cages, spinal
implants designed to be used with minimally invasive or laparoscopic surgery,
biodegradable polymer inserts and artificial bone implants.  The Company
believes that it competes on the following basis: (a) the technological design
and functional performance of its implant products, (b) the level of training
and service support provided to spinal surgeons, (c) the professional reputation
of members of its Medical Advisory Board and the design and training assistance
they provide, and (d) the ability of its research and development personnel to
produce technologically superior products.  Many of the Company's competitors
have capital resources, research and development staff, facilities, experience
in clinical trials and obtaining regulatory approvals, physician relationships
and experience in manufacturing and marketing significantly greater than those
of the Company.  Because of intense competition, there can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to successfully market its spinal implant products.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that other competing products or
technologies will not be technologically superior to those offered or developed
by the Company.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company continually strives to improve existing products and develop new
products in the spinal implant market.  The Company conducts its research and
development activities primarily through its engineering department and with
the assistance of outside consultants.  The Company employs six professional
engineers and a technician engaged exclusively in research and development.

In addition to research and development conducted by the Company, the Medical
Advisory Board plays an active role in the development of new spinal implant
products.  The Company will continue to work with the members of its Medical
Advisory Board to develop new spinal systems which address spinal deformities
and degenerative disease in the cervical spine to be used with the SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System as well as a minimally invasive device.  The Company's
spinal implant research and development is concentrated on the design of these
new systems, and it expects to submit 510(k) applications to the FDA in 1998
for the cervical version.  The Company will also continue to develop the spinal
implant cage which it licensed in March 1997 under a license agreement with
Polaris Biotechnology, Inc.

The Company's research and development expenditures during the fiscal years
ended December 31, 1997, 1996, and 1995 were $1,226,000, $687,000, and $859,000
respectively.  The Company intends to continue to invest in the development of
new spinal implant products in 1998.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW MATTERS

The Company holds the patent, manufacturing and marketing rights to certain
specialty orthopedic products.  The SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System is covered
by numerous pending U.S. and international patent applications belonging to the
Company.  These applications concern various aspects of the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal
Implant System including the bone anchor, the rod/anchor interface,
instrumentation and transverse connectors.  CROSS(r), CROSS MEDICAL(r),
INTEGRAL(tm), and SYNERGY(tm) are trademarks of the Company.

The Company intends to file patent applications on future products as
appropriate.  The mere filing and prosecution of patent applications, however,
cannot guarantee the ultimate issuance of patents.  To the extent that the
Company is unsuccessful in securing patents for its devices or for certain
features of its devices which are easily reverse-engineered, there is little
to prevent a competitor from copying the Company's products, although the
Company would have "lead time" in the marketplace during the period needed by
its competitors to copy and secure FDA approval for a duplicate product even
where patents are issued, third parties may contest the validity of the patents
or design around the patents.  Enforcement of patents can be expensive and the
time consuming for the patent holder.  Thus, while the Company believes that
its patents are valid and have value, the Company believes that they are of
lesser significance than the innovative skills, technical competence, and
marketing ability of the Company's personnel.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

The health care industry is subject to extensive government regulation on both
the federal and state levels.  In particular, the U.S. Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Act (the "FDA Act") provides for regulation by the FDA of the manufacture and
sale of medical devices.

Under the FDA Act, all medical devices are to be classified as Class I, Class
II, or Class III devices, depending upon the risk they present.  Many Class I
and all Class II and III medical devices must be reviewed or approved for
marketing prior to their distribution unless they are specifically excluded
from the requirement to do so.  The review/approval process is more or less
difficult depending upon the product Class.  In general, Class I devices must
comply with labeling and recordkeeping requirements and are subject to other
general controls and periodic inspection.  In addition to general controls,
Class II devices must comply with performance standards established by the FDA.
Manufacturers of Class II devices also are subject to periodic inspection by
the FDA.  Class III devices must receive pre-market approval from the FDA
before they can be commercially distributed in the United States, and
manufacturers of Class III devices are also subject to periodic inspection.
The FDA Act and FDA regulations also cover all incoming materials control,
processing control, traceability of input materials and components,
traceability of product servicing and other quality and safety controls.  All
of these requirements are covered in the broad FDA specifications known as
"good manufacturing practice" regulations.

The PWB Screw/Rod System implantable devices and the spinal implant cage are
Class III devices.  Class III devices require pre-market approval from the FDA
before full distribution of the device may begin.  The FDA allows only devices
proven to be both safe and effective to be offered for full distribution.  The
FDA bases its judgment of both safety and effectiveness on information gathered
during studies conducted pursuant to an IDE.  The Company is following the
premarket approval process for the PWB Screw/Rod System and having completed
the IDE is considering submitting its PMA to the FDA.  In addition, the Company
plans to pursue an IDE for multiple versions of the spinal implant cage.

The PWB Lumbosacral System and SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System are Class II
devices.  The Company has received 510(k) marketing clearance for the PWB
Lumbosacral System and the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System.  The 510(k)
notification is a document submitted to demonstrate that the device in question
is "substantially equivalent" to an already legally marketed device, thus
allowing faster clearance by the FDA than the PMA procedure.

PERSONNEL

As of February 25, 1998, the Company employed 45 full-time employees.  The
Company has no part-time employees.  None of the Company's employees are subject
to collective bargaining agreements, and the Company considers its relationship
with its employees to be good.

DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On March 12, 1997, the Company, Danninger Healthcare, Inc. ("DHI"), an Ohio
corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and OrthoLogic Corp.
(OrthoLogic), a Delaware corporation, entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement,
whereby OrthoLogic purchased from the Company and DHI certain assets and assumed
certain liabilities related to the Company's Recovery Products business.  Under
the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company and DHI, collectively, sold
substantially all of their accounts receivables, inventory, fixed assets,
intangible assets and other assets related to the Recovery Products business
to OrthoLogic for approximately $8,200,000 in cash plus the assumption by
OrthoLogic of substantially all of the liabilities including accounts payable,
lease payable, bank debt and seller financing debt.  Assumed liabilities totaled
approximately $5,000,000.  In addition, OrthoLogic acquired 30,000 restricted
shares of the Company's Common Stock for $242,000.  The transaction was
accomplished through arms-length negotiations between the Company and DHI and
OrthoLogic.  There was no material relationship between the Company, DHI and
OrthoLogic or any affiliates, directors or officers or associates of such
directors or officers of any party to the transaction.  The following discussion
describes the Company's Recovery Products business prior to the sale.

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW.  Continuous passive motion ("CPM") rehabilitation therapy
technology in the orthopedic field employs devices to slowly and continuously
move an injured joint without assistance of the patient's muscle power.  This
therapy is most commonly used after joint surgery to improve blood flow, reduce
swelling, increase the range of motion, maintain muscle tone and speed healing.

Prior to the development of CPM therapy, physicians generally believed that it
was necessary to immobilize a bone and adjacent joints in a cast or splint
subsequent to an injury or an operation during the healing process.  This
immobilization resulted in muscle atrophy, cartilage degeneration, and tendon
and ligament stiffening, and often required additional rehabilitation to restore
the pre-injury range of motion and strength.  Beginning in the early 1970s,
experiments were conducted to determine the rehabilitative benefits of joint
exercise following surgery.  These experiments led to the development of CPM
machines to provide the desired exercise with no effort on the part of the
patient. Clinical research has established that CPM therapy can significantly
reduce post-operative joint pain and swelling  and increase arterial blood flow,
thus increasing range of motion and reducing the length of hospitalization and
rehabilitation.

The major market for CPM devices is for use immediately following knee and hip
joint replacement surgeries.  The primary function of this therapy is to
rehabilitate injured or diseased joints and to prevent injury to joints that
would otherwise occur through immobilization.  The success that CPM has enjoyed
in post-operative knee and hip therapy has generated demand for CPM devices for
the elbow, shoulder, hand, wrist, ankle and toe joints.

COMPANY RECOVERY PRODUCTS.  The majority of the Company's line of recovery
products were marketed under the trade name Danniflex.  The Company offered a
full range of CPM devices:  three leg models, a shoulder model, hand and finger
model, wrist model and toe model.  The Company periodically refined and updated
its various CPM devices with the addition of new models to expand its existing
line or replace prior models.  In addition to CPM devices, the Company offered
product accessories that made CPM devices easier to use and apply.

RECOVERY PRODUCTS MARKETING.  CPM devices are used primarily by post-surgery
orthopedic patients in hospitals and in their homes.  CPM devices are also used
in nursing homes, sports medicine clinics and private practice physical therapy
clinics.

The Company sold the majority of its CPM devices to independent durable medical
equipment ("DME") dealers.  Typically,  DME dealers purchase and inventory CPM
devices in sufficient quantity for their rental markets.  Dealers purchased the
unit outright from the Company or financed the purchase through a third party
lessor.  Upon receiving a rental order, the dealer transports the unit to and
from the hospital, institution, or home (usually within a 20 to 50 mile radius),
aids in setting up the unit and bills the customer for the service at a daily,
weekly or monthly rental rate.

In recent years, the DME market has experienced a number of changes.  National
DME dealers are consolidating while new dealers are entering the market at the
local level.  In response to these changes, the Company was committed to an
open distribution policy for its products and, working with independent
financing companies, offered financing programs tailored to the DME marketplace.
In addition, in 1994, the Company formed Recovery Services, Inc. ("RSI") as a
wholly owned subsidiary to rent recovery products directly to end users.  RSI
was formed to expand the geographic scope of the Company's recovery products
market in those areas without suitable DME dealers, to explore alternative
distribution methods for new and existing products, and to assist the Company
in assessing the product needs and requirements of the recovery products market.

In September 1996, the Company acquired Surgical and Orthopedic Specialties,
Inc. ("SOS"), a durable medical equipment dealer that rented orthopedic
rehabilitation equipment primarily to home-care patients in Michigan, Indiana
and Ohio.  Upon completion of the merger, RSI and SOS operated under the DHI
name.

RECOVERY PRODUCTS MANUFACTURING.  The Company assembled its recovery products,
fabricating some of the mechanical parts and purchasing the remaining mechanical
and all of the electrical components from a variety of vendors.  All of the
Company's DanniflexO line of lower extremity CPM devices shared certain basic
structural elements.  CPM devices were sold with a limited one year warranty.
Claims under the Company's CPM device warranty have been nominal.

BUSINESS RISKS

The Company desires to take advantage of the "safe harbor" provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  In addition to the other
information in this report, readers should carefully consider the following
important factors, among others, which in some cases have affected, and in the
future could affect, the company's actual results and could cause the Company's
actual consolidated results of operations for 1998 and beyond, to differ
materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or
on behalf of, the Company.

LIMITED HISTORY OF PROFITABILITY.  In fiscal 1997, the Company reported a net
loss from continuing operations of $862,000, and had incurred net losses from
continuing operations in three of the previous four years.  The Company will
continue to invest to expand the distribution and marketing of the SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System, as well as to invest in research and development to
expand the system to include a cervical version and a spinal implant cage.  The
Company believes that the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System has technological
advantages over existing spinal implant systems, although certain competitors
have much greater market share and well-developed distribution networks.  There
can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in establishing a
competitive distribution network to enable it to increase its sales of spinal
implants to a profitable level.

COMPETITION.  The spinal implant industry is intensely competitive with
respect to technology, distribution, quality and variety, and there are two
well-established competitors with substantially greater financial and other
resources than the Company.  Some of the Company's competitors have been in
existence for a substantially longer period than the Company and many are
better established with physicians in the markets where the Company distributes
its products.  See "Business - Competition."

GOVERNMENT REGULATION.  The manufacture and marketing of the Company's products
are subject to regulation by the FDA pursuant to the FDA Act and numerous other
federal, state and foreign governmental authorities.  Although the Company has
obtained all necessary clearances for the marketing and sale of all the products
that the Company currently produces and sells, any products developed in the
future are likely to require FDA approval before they can be sold in the United
States.

To date, all FDA approvals of the Company's products have been obtained under
Section 510(k) of the FDA Act, which provides for FDA marketing approval on an
expedited basis for products that can be shown to be substantially equivalent
to devices in interstate commerce prior to May 1976, the date of enactment of
the FDA Act.  The Company anticipates that substantially all of the products
currently being developed will qualify for marketing approval under Section
510(k).  However, if marketing approval for any product cannot be obtained
under Section 510(k), alternative approval procedures are likely to be costly
and time consuming and there can be no assurance that the required approvals
for marketing any newly developed products will be obtained.  All products and
manufacturing facilities are subject to continual review and periodic inspection
by the FDA.  The discovery of previously unknown problems with the Company or
its products or facilities may result in product labeling restrictions, recall,
or withdrawal of the products from the market.  The Company is required to
obtain similar approvals, and is subject to similar regulation for the sale of
its products in foreign countries and is subject to similar risks relating to
the inability to obtain or the revocation of such approvals.  See "Business -
Government Regulation."

LIMITED SALES AND MARKETING EXPERIENCE.  The Company anticipates the majority
of its sales growth, if any, in the future will be in spinal implants.  The
Company has sold its spinal implant products in the United States through a
limited direct sales and marketing staff and a network of independent
commissioned sales agencies supported by the Company's technical support staff.
Independent commissioned sales agencies typically market orthopedic and
neurological implants and instruments for a variety of manufacturers.  The
Company provides extensive sales training, however, existing or future sales
agencies may not have prior experience selling spinal implants.  There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to develop an effective distribution
network or that such commissioned sales agencies will be able to successfully
sell the Company's products.

DEPENDENCE ON MANAGEMENT AND MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD.  The Company's success
will depend to a great extent on its senior management, including Joseph A.
Mussey, Chief Executive Officer.  The Company's operations could be adversely
affected if, for any reason, one or more key executive officers ceases to be
active in the Company's management or in the event that any member of the
Company's Medical Advisory Board would choose to leave the board and support a
competing implant system.  In addition, the Company's success depends in large
part on its ability to attract and retain highly qualified scientific,
technical, management and marketing personnel.  Competition for such personnel
is intense and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
attract and retain the personnel necessary for the development and operation
of its business.  The loss of the services of key personnel could have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION AND INSURANCE COVERAGE.  The spinal implant
industry has been historically litigious and the Company faces an inherent
business risk of financial exposure to product liability claims.  Such claims
against the Company, regardless of their merit or eventual outcome, could have
a material adverse effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and
results of operations.  Since the Company's spinal products are designed to be
permanently implanted in the human body, manufacturing errors or design defects
could result in injury or death to the patient, and could result in a recall of
the Company's products and substantial monetary damages.  The Company has been
named as a defendant in more than 750 cases alleging principally that the
Company participated in an industry-wide conspiracy to market pedicle screw
implants although none of these lawsuits involve the Company's products.  The
Company anticipates that additional similar suits will be filed in the future.
The Company is currently named as a defendant in 16 cases alleging claims of
products liability for defective products manufactured by the Company's
products.  The Company's current liability insurance coverage limits are
$5,000,000 per occurrence per year and $5,000,000 in the aggregate per year.
There can be no assurance that the Company will not experience losses to the
extent that its insurance coverage is not adequate to cover the cost of
defending these and similar suits that may be filed in the future or the cost
of settling such claims or paying any adverse judgments.  Such insurance is
expensive, difficult to obtain and may not be available in the future on
acceptable terms, or at all.  In 1997, the Company contracted with a new
insurance carrier to provide similar insurance coverage for future claims.
For claims that have been incurred but not yet filed, the Company has purchased
extended claims coverage from its prior carrier.  See "Legal Proceedings."

PRODUCT CONCENTRATION AND OBSOLESCENCE.  The Company anticipates that most of
its spinal implant sales and sales growth in the future, if any, will come from
the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System.  In addition, the Company's current
primary product development efforts involve a cervical version of the
SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System and a spinal implant cage.  There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in marketing the SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System or the spinal implant cage or that a competitor will not
introduce a superior product or technology.  In either event, the Company may
not be able to produce sufficient sales to achieve profitability.

DEPENDENCE ON SUPPLIERS.  The Company does not manufacture the components for
its spinal implants and instruments and is dependent upon several suppliers for
the production of such components and expects to continue to be dependent upon
such manufacturers for the foreseeable future.  The Company is dependent upon
these manufacturers for timely and cost-effective manufacturing services.  In
the event that the Company is unable to obtain components, or obtain such
components on commercially reasonable terms, it may not be able to manufacture
or distribute its products on a timely and competitive basis, or at all.

CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP; ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS.  The Company's directors
and officers and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 40.9% of the
outstanding Common Stock.  Accordingly, these persons have the ability to
exert significant influence over the business affairs of the Company, including
the ability to influence the election of directors and the results of voting on
all matters requiring stockholder approval.  The Company has adopted certain
anti-takeover measures which, individually or collectively, may be
disadvantageous in that they may discourage takeovers in which stockholders
might receive a substantial premium for some or all of their shares of Common
Stock.

VOLATILITY OF MARKET PRICE.  Market prices for securities of orthopedic device
companies have historically been highly volatile.  Quarterly operating results
of the Company, the announcement of technological innovations or new products
by the Company or its competitors, governmental regulation, timing of regulatory
approvals, developments related to patents or proprietary rights or publicity
regarding actual or potential malfunctions of the Company's or its competitors'
products may cause the market price of the Common Stock to fluctuate
substantially.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

On February 8, 1996, the Company entered into a lease for its office and
production facilities in Dublin, Ohio.  The lease term began on April 1, 1996,
and terminates on June 1, 2001.  The lease covers 27,680 square feet, of which
the Company plans to use approximately 13,680 square feet for office and
production and is attempting to sublease the remaining space.  The facility is
located at 5160 Blazer Memorial Parkway, Dublin, Ohio 43017.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The nature of the Company's business subjects the Company to product liability
and related claims from time to time.  The Company maintains a claims made
product liability insurance policy with per occurrence ($100,000) and
aggregate ($500,000) retention limits.  Beyond these retention limits, the
policy covers aggregate insured claims made during each policy year up to
$5,000,000.  The Company believes that it has adequate insurance for its
business, however, there can be no assurance that future operating results will
not be materially adversely affected by the formal resolution of pending cases
or future claims.

The Company and other spinal implant manufacturers were named as defendants in
various purported class action product liability lawsuits alleging that the
plaintiffs were injured by spinal implants supplied by the Company and others.
All such lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial proceedings in the Federal
District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and, on February 22,
1995, Chief Judge Emeritus Lewis C. Bechtle denied class certification.  The
federal court lawsuits before Judge Bechtle will remain coordinated for further
pretrial purposes, but are individual lawsuits.  In response to the denial of
class certification, a large number of additional individual lawsuits have been
filed alleging, in addition to damages from spinal implants, a conspiracy among
manufacturers, physicians, and other spinal implant industry members.  The
Company has been named as a defendant, among others, in approximately 750 such
lawsuits.  None of the 750 cases involve products manufactured by the Company.
The Company cannot estimate precisely at this time the number of such lawsuits
that may eventually be filed.  Most of such lawsuits are pending in federal
courts and are in preliminary stages.  Discovery proceedings, including the
taking of depositions, have commenced in certain of the lawsuits.  Plaintiffs
in these cases typically seek relief in the form of monetary damages, often in
unspecified amounts.  While the aggregate monetary damages eventually sought in
all of such individual actions is substantial and exceeds the limits of the
Company's products liability insurance policies, the Company believes that it
has affirmative defenses, including, without limitation, preemption, and that
these individual lawsuits are otherwise without merit.  In addition, Cross has
been named as a defendant in 16 cases alleging claims of product liability for
defective products manufactured by the Company.  All pending cases are being
defended by the Company's insurance carrier, in some cases under a reservation
of rights.  There can be no assurance, however, that the $5,000,000 per policy
year limit of the Company's coverage will be sufficient to cover the cost of
defending all lawsuits or the payment of any amounts that may be paid in
satisfaction of any settlements or judgments.  Further, there can be no
assurance that the Company will continue to be able to obtain sufficient
amounts of products liability insurance coverage at commercially reasonable,
premiums.

In addition, in the ordinary course of business the Company has been named as
a defendant in various other legal proceedings.  The Company has denied
liability in all such lawsuits and is vigorously defending the same.  The
Company believes that it has adequate insurance for its business, however there
can be no assurance that future operating results will not be materially
adversely affected by the formal resolution of these matters.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

At December 31, 1996, the Company had two primary business segments:  Recovery
Products focused on orthopedic rehabilitative treatment; and Spinal Implant
focused on the development and marketing of spinal implant devices.  On March
12, 1997, the Company sold substantially all of the assets and the buyer
assumed substantially all of the liabilities of its Recovery Products segment.
The results of the Company have been reported so as to segregate the
discontinued operations from continuing operations.  The management discussion
that follows pertains to the Company's continuing operations.

Shown below for the years indicated are the percentages that certain items in
the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations bear to total revenue.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997
AND 1996

For 1997 net sales increased 51% to $12,918,000 from $8,572,000 for 1996. This
increase was primarily a result of the Company's increased penetration into the
spinal implant market as the Company continued to increase its distribution
network, the number of surgeons using the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System and
its offering of spinal implant products. The Company received FDA marketing
clearance for the posterior portion of the titanium version of the SYNERGY(tm)
Spinal Implant System for sale in the United States in January 1997.

Cost of goods sold was $5,923,000 or 45.9% of net sales for 1997 compared to
$3,854,000 or 45.0% for 1996. The 1997 cost of goods sold increased as a result
of adjustments to inventory valuation of $700,00 recognized in the fourth
quarter of 1997 for products that became obsolete or slow-moving due to the
widespread acceptance of certain improvements and modifications to the Company's
SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System.  Before the inventory allowance, the cost
of goods sold as a percentage of net sales decreased from 1996 to 1997.  The
decrease was primarily due to the Company increasing its sales prices in 1997,
while the cost of the spinal implant products remained relatively stable from
1996 to 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 51.8% from 50.5% as
a percentage of net sales, and increased to $6,689,000 from $4,330,000 for 1997
and 1996, respectively. Except for commissions and product liability insurance
premiums, most of the selling, general and administrative expenses are
relatively fixed expenses and as net sales increase, these expenses as a
percentage of net sales decrease.  The Company intends to continue to invest
in the development of additional markets domestically and internationally,
which expenditures will tend to keep selling, general and administrative
expenses at a relatively high percentage of sales until sales increase.

Research and development expenses increased to 9.5% from 8.0% as a percentage
of net sales, and increased $1,226,000 from $687,000, for 1997 and 1996,
respectively. In March 1997, the Company entered a license agreement to
develop a spinal cage, the development of which is ongoing.  The cage is
expected to open new market segments for the Company.  The Company also is
developing a cervical spinal system.  The Company continues to explore ways to
expand its product lines either through internal development or acquisition.

In 1997, interest expense, net, decreased to $426,000 or 3.3% of net sales from
$439,000 or 5.1% of net sales, for 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The decrease
was primarily attributable to the interest income earned on the investment of
the proceeds from the sale of the Company's Recovery Products business in March,
1997.

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $484,000 and $788,000 for 1997 and 1996,
respectively, as the Company had a tax loss from continuing operations in 1997
and 1996.

COMPARISON OF THE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996
AND 1995

For 1996 net sales increased 110% to $8,572,000 from $4,091,000 for 1995. This
increase was primarily a result of the Company's increased penetration into the
spinal implant market as the Company continued to increase its distribution
network, the number of surgeons using the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System and
its offering of spinal implant products.  In the third quarter of 1996, the
Company began marketing internationally the titanium version of the SYNERGY(tm)
System.  The Company received FDA marketing clearance for the posterior portion
of the titanium version for sale in the United States in the first quarter of
1997.

Cost of goods sold was $3,854,000 or 45.0% of net sales for 1996 compared to
$1,995,000 or 48.8% for 1995.  This decrease as a percentage of sales was
primarily related to an inventory allowance established for the Company's
Puno/Winter/Byrd spinal implant systems in 1995.  Cost of goods sold is
affected by the amount of international sales as a percentage of total sales
since such sales are sold at a lower margin to international distributors.  On
sales of spinal products in the United States, the Company pays a commission
to its independent sales representatives, however, this commission is recorded
as a selling expense.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 50.5% of sales in
1996 from 78.8% in  1995.  The decrease is primarily attributable to an
increase in sales.

Research and development expenses decreased by $172,000 and as a percentage of
sales to 8.0% in 1996 from 21.0% in 1995.  The decrease was due to investments
in 1995 relating to the FDA approval of the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System
for marketing clearance.  In 1996, the Company focused its financial resources
in expanding its distribution network in the United States and internationally.
In 1997, the Company intends to invest more resources in product development.

In 1996, interest expense increased to 5.1% of sales from 2.5% in 1995 as a
result of a $5,250,000 Convertible Subordinated Debenture Offering in May 1996.

The Company recorded a tax benefit of $788,000 in 1996 compared to a tax
benefit of $646,000 in 1995.  The 1996 effective income tax rate is below
statutory tax rates primarily as a result of the reversal of the valuation
allowance used to reduce the tax benefit of research and development tax credits
and net operating losses.  Management believes that the reversal of the
valuation allowance is appropriate due to the improved performance of the
Company during 1996 and expectations of future profitability.  Research and
development credit carryforwards were $455,000 at December 31, 1996 and expire
at various times through December 31, 2011.  Net operating loss carryforwards
were approximately $232,000 and expire in 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Working capital increased to $13,356,000 at December 31, 1997 from $8,241,000
at December 31, 1996.  The current ratio (ratio of current assets to current
liabilities) increased to 4.7 to 1.0 at December 31, 1997 from 2.4 to 1.0 at
December 31, 1996.  The increase in working capital is principally attributable
to the net cash received from the sale of the Recovery Products segment of
approximately $6,010,000 after paying off the Company's line of credit of
$2,190,000, cash received from the sale of common stock to the buyer of the
Recovery Products segment of $242,000, cash received from the sale of common
stock to its Japanese distributor of $2,000,000, and cash generated from
operations until the sale of the Recovery Products segment on March 12, 1997
of $92,000.

Cash flows used in operating activities were $5,250,000 in 1997 compared to
$3,181,000 in 1996.  The reason for continued use of cash flows from operating
activities in 1997 relates to the increases in accounts receivable and
inventories and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
Inventories increased 87% to $8,459,000 at December 31, 1997 from $4,529,000
at December 31, 1996 reflecting an increase in inventory to support the higher
level of sales of the SYNERGY(tm) Spinal Implant System.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $1,968,000 in 1997 compared to
$544,000 in 1996 primarily related to the purchase of a $1,500,000 certificate
of deposit.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $609,000 in 1997 compared to
$3,325,000 in 1996.  The primary source of cash from financing activities in
1996 was the proceeds from the Convertible Subordinated Debenture offering of
$5,250,000, net of offering costs of $557,000.

The nature of the Company's business subjects the Company to product liability
and related claims from time to time.  The Company believes that it has adequate
insurance for its business, but there can be no assurance that the Company's
liquidity will not be materially adversely affected by the final resolution of
pending cases or future claims.

The Company utilizes various PC based computer software packages as tools in
running its daily operations.  Management does not believe that the Company
