Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Rule 310 of Regulation S-B.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring accruals, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included in the accompanying unaudited financial statements.  In addition,
certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to be comparable with
the current period presentation.   Operating results for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 1997. For further
information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in
the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Sale and Leaseback Transactions

On February 7, 1997, HelpMate Robotics Inc. ("HRI" or the "Company") entered
into a Purchase, Security and Remarketing Agreement and a Master Lease Agreement
with Leasing Technologies International, Inc. ("LTI") for the sale and leaseback
of fifteen of its robotic courier systems which are currently under rent from
the Company to hospitals across the United States  ("sold units").  The total
proceeds obtained from this transaction was $1,230,000.  As part of the
transaction, the Company assigned all of its right title and interest in the
underlying rental agreements for the sold units and granted a security interest
in fifteen additional rental agreements for units that were not sold to LTI
("collateral units"). The Purchase, Security and Remarketing Agreement requires
the Company to, among other things,  refurbish any sold unit that ceases to be
rented by a hospital and place that sold unit on rent with another hospital
prior to the Company placing one of its own units with another hospital. In
addition, the Company is responsible for the maintenance of  both the sold units
and the collateral units.  Upon the expiration of the Master Lease Agreement (36
months), the Company shares in residual rental payments from the sold units in
the following manner: a)75% for the Company and 25% for LTI until such time as
the Company receives an additional $372,032 and b) 50% for the Company and 50%
for LTI thereafter.  Finally, the Company has no right to repurchase the sold
units from LTI.  The Master Lease Agreement will be classified as an operating
lease in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13,
"Accounting for Leases".   The book value and related depreciation of the sold
units, approximately $937,000 and $321,000, respectively, will be removed from
the accounts and the gain realized on the sale of approximately $614,000 will be
deferred and amortized over the term of the Master Lease Agreement, 36 months.
The maintenance costs expected to be incurred for the sold units during the
lease term will be accrued as of the date of the sale, amortized over the term
of the Master Lease Agreement and correspondingly reduce the gain on the sale.
Such costs are expected to approximate $158,000 thereby reducing the gain to be
deferred and amortized to approximately $456,000.  No provision for the
refurbishment of the sold units will be made, as the Company's historical
experience demonstrates that units do not cease being rented.   Payments under
the Master Lease Agreement are payable monthly commencing in March, 1997 and
approximate $526,000 annually.  Certain amounts have been reclassified at March
31, 1997 to more properly reflect the operating lease transactions described
above.  The resulting reclassifications had no effect on net loss for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 or the six months ended June 30, 1997. 

Further on May 5, 1997, the Company entered into another Purchase, Security and
Remarketing Agreement and a Master Lease Agreement with LTI for the sale and
leaseback of nine of its robotic courier systems which are currently under rent
from the Company to hospitals across the United States  ("sold units").  The
total proceeds obtained from this transaction was $810,000.  As part of the
transaction, the Company assigned all of its right, title and interest in the
underlying rental agreements for the sold units and granted a security interest
in three additional rental agreements for units that were not sold to LTI
("collateral units"), and issued to LTI 98,182 warrants to purchase the
Company's common stock at $1.2375. The warrants expire on May 4, 2006.  The
Purchase, Security and Remarketing Agreement requires the Company to, among
other things,  refurbish any sold unit that ceases to be rented by a hospital
and place that sold unit on rent with another hospital prior to the Company
placing one of its own units with another hospital.  

                                       6

<PAGE>

In addition, the Company is responsible for the maintenance of  both the sold
units and the collateral units.  Upon the expiration of the Master Lease
Agreement (32 months), the Company shares in residual rental payments from the
sold units in the following manner: a)75% for the Company and 25% for LTI until
such time as the Company receives an additional $225,400 and b) 50% for the
Company and 50% for LTI thereafter.  Finally, the Company has no right to
repurchase the sold units from LTI.  It should further be noted that until such
time as additional rental units are installed, financing vehicles such as this
will not be available to the Company. The Master Lease Agreement will be
classified as an operating lease in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases".   The book value and
related depreciation of the sold units, approximately $548,000 and $26,000,
respectively, will be removed from the accounts and the gain realized on the
sale of approximately $288,000 will be deferred and amortized over the term of
the Master Lease Agreement, 32 months. The maintenance costs expected to be
incurred for the sold units during the lease term will be accrued as of the date
of the sale, amortized over the term of the Master Lease Agreement and
correspondingly reduce the gain on the sale. Such costs are expected to
approximate $46,000 thereby reducing the gain to be deferred and amortized to
approximately $242,000.  No provision for the refurbishment of the sold units
will be made, as the Company's historical experience demonstrates that units do
not cease being rented.  Payments under the Master Lease Agreement are payable
monthly commencing in June, 1997 and approximate $379,000 annually. 

Installation Costs

The Company incurs certain direct expenses associated with the installation of
its equipment leased to others. The Company recast its June 30, 1996 statements
of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity to reflect a change in the
period over which the Company's installation costs related to its equipment
leased to others is amortized.  The Company previously amortized such costs over
a five year period.  Under the new policy such costs are amortized over the
initial term of the lease in accordance with the generally accepted accounting
principles prescribed for leases.  In 1996,  such costs increased in
significance in relation to the Company's financial statements, which was
attributable to among other things, the Company's increased volume of business
and current market conditions which required the Company to incur more of these
costs. This change affects the financial statements of the Company primarily by
amortizing such costs more rapidly, as typically the initial term of the leases
entered into by the Company range from one to three years. The net loss for six
month and three month periods ended June 30, 1996 increased by $240,508 or
($0.03 per share) and $160,619 or ($0.03 per share), respectively as a result of
this change.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

General

HelpMate Robotics Inc. (the "Company"), a Connecticut corporation, was
co-founded in 1984 as a robotics "think-tank" by its chairman, Joseph F.
Engelberger. During its early years, the Company's primary focus was contract
engineering and research and development for third parties. Through the years,
however, the focus of the Company has evolved into the development of products
having commercial applications.

The Company designs, manufactures and markets autonomous robot transport systems
for use by the institutional healthcare industry. The Company's flagship
product, called HelpMate-TM-, is an intelligent, self-navigating,
battery-powered robot, which travels throughout a hospital free of fixed tracks
or guidewires. HelpMate robots provide repetitive, around-the-clock transport of
meals, medications, lab samples, supplies and medical records within a hospital
environment, relieving staff of unscheduled "fetch-and-carry" tasks, and thus,
the Company believes, reducing labor costs and improving productivity. Using
proprietary sensory technology and a preprogrammed map of the facility, the
HelpMate robot can avoid obstacles and people, making almost instantaneous stops
when necessary, and via radio link, can summon elevators to travel between
floors. The HelpMate system's technology allows it to be a more flexible and
cost-effective alternative to systems such as dumbwaiters, pneumatic tubes or
automated guided vehicles. HelpMate development began in 1987, and in 1991,
following extensive testing at Danbury Hospital in Connecticut, the first
HelpMate became operational.

Further, in connection with the development of its HelpMate robots, the Company
also has developed other applications of its robotics technology. The Company
has sold , on a limited basis, components of its autonomous robotics navigation
technology to universities, laboratories and other research facilities.
Moreover, the Company has licensed some of its technologies for use in
floor-cleaning and automated prescription-filling applications.

The Company believes that there are opportunities for expanding its HelpMate
product lines to other uses, both within the hospital environment and for other
healthcare users such as nursing homes, and for developing non-

                                       7

<PAGE>

healthcare related applications and products.  Given the Company's current 
liquidity limitations, however, the Company is currently redirecting all of 
its efforts to the installation and maintenance of existing Helpmate robots.

The Company has also engaged in research and development contract opportunities
in the areas of service robotics and robotics technology applications. These
efforts, as well as those mentioned above, have been put on hold while the
Company continues to redirect its efforts to the installation and maintenance of
existing Helpmate robots.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's financial position has continued to deteriorate, and the Company
has experienced difficulties in meeting its cash flow needs.  During the month
of July 1997 the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas K.
Sweeny loaned the Company $60,000 in the form of a note payable due upon demand
bearing interest at a rate of 8.5% per annum.  The efforts of the Company to
obtain additional working capital through further sale/leaseback arrangements,
through borrowing from major investors, and through the sale of new equity to
various investor groups have, to date, been unsuccessful.  Past due accounts
payable have mounted to approximately $1 million as of August 1, 1997.  

Additionally, in early August 1997,  Leasing Technologies, Inc. notified the
Company  that the Company was in default under its Master Lease Agreement.  The
Company is in default with Connecticut Innovations Inc. for a principal amount
of approximately $417,000.  The Company was also served an eviction notice by
its landlord due to non-payment of rent.  The Company is currently in
negotiations and taking other steps with a view towards remedying the
deficiencies.  

In light of the foregoing, the Company continues to implement actions and
measures, including a substantial downsizing of the Company,  to ensure that
operations would continue on a significantly reduced basis through 1997 if
additional financing transactions are not consummated. On August 15, 1997, the
Company reduced its staff level to a core of 12 employees with the emphasis on
installation and maintenance of Helpmate robots.  The Company has discontinued
its sales and marketing efforts and it will limit its production to fill a
portion of its backlog.  The company has 80 Helpmate robots installed in 67
hospitals in the United States and a backlog of 31 rental orders. Management
believes that it will be able to complete and install a portion of those units. 
Additionally, management plans to relocate to smaller office space during the
third quarter to further reduce costs. The Company is in the process of
redirecting its efforts towards installation and maintenance of its current
force of Helpmate robots in the field.  

The Company is actively pursuing discussions with its creditors and lenders. If
the Company is successful in reaching an accommodation with its creditors and
lenders, then management believes that the Company's downsized operations could
be funded with the revenue streams generated by the current and future rentals
and sales of its Helpmate robots while the Company pursues alternatives for
addressing the long-term capital needs of the business. This plan is predicated
on the basis that the Company's creditors and others will not institute any
action against the Company during this time of restructuring.   Any resolution
of the Company's short-term and long-term capital issues may have a material
adverse effect on the Company's stockholders, including diluting their interest
in the Company.  

Revenues

Total revenues decreased by $36,041 or 4% from the three months ended June 30,
1996 compared to the three month period ended June 30, 1997.  Rental revenues
increased by $202,100 or 66%; sales revenues decreased by $118,247 or 34%, and
revenues from research and development contracts decreased by $119,894 or 69%
for the same period.
    
Total revenues increased by $409,540 or 32% from the six months ended June 30,
1996 compared to the six month period ended June 30, 1997.  Rental revenues
increased by $362,014 or 65% and sales revenues increased by $12,884 or 2%. 
Also, revenues from research and development contracts increased  by $34,642 or
20%.

The increase in rental revenues is reflective of the Company's expanded fleet of
rental units which at June 30, 1997 was 67, a 40% increase from the 48 units
under rent at December 31, 1996.  The changes in research and development
contract revenues is primarily attributable to the timing of the performance of
the projects.  The three months ended June 30, 1997 represents revenues
recognized primarily on labor costs on a project which began in January 1997,
while the revenues recognized in the three month period ended June 30, 1996
represent a project in the completion stage.

                                       8

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues decreased by $248,571 or 33% from the three months ended June
30, 1996 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997.  Cost of revenues
increased by $128,549 or 11% from the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to
the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Overall, cost of revenues has decreased as
a percentage of revenues, which reflects the Company's ongoing efforts to reduce
the cost associated with manufacturing and installing its HelpMate robots. 
These costs are partially offset by an increase in depreciation and amortization
of the Company's rental units and related installation costs, which were
attributable to the increase in the rental fleet discussed above. In addition,
the Company increased its reserve for inventory obsolescence by $50,000 during
the second quarter of 1997 to reflect current economic conditions.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased by 257% or $212,530 from the three months ended June 30,
1996 compared to the three months  ended June 30, 1997.  Gross profit increased
by 169% or $280,991 from the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in gross profit percentage and dollars
reflects the Company's ongoing strategy to reduce costs associated with
manufacturing and installing its HelpMate Robots coupled with the fact that
several of the Company's rental units are now fully depreciated.

Selling General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses increased by $114,223 or 11% from
the three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended June 30,
1997.  Selling, General and Administrative Expenses decreased by $72,138 or 4%
from the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the six months ended June
30, 1997. The increase reflects an increase in staffing, particularly in the
sales and marketing department and an increase in marketing and public relations
activities associated with promoting the Helpmate robot.  In addition, the
Company increased its allowance for doubtful accounts by $20,000 during the
second quarter to reflect current economic conditions.

Interest Expense and Interest Income

Interest expense, net of interest income increased by $39,515 or 137% from the
three months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended June 30,
1997.  Interest expense, net of interest income increased by $40,956 or 45% from
the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the six months ended June 30,
1997. The increase in net interest expense is reflective of an increase in
financing obligations and a decrease in interest income earned.  As the Company
has continued to use available cash for expanding its fleet of rental units
interest income decreased $53,903 or 96% from the three months ended June 30,
1996 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997 and decreased $75,356 or
89% from the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the six months ended
June 30, 1997.

Losses

The Company incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $915,005 and
$1,001,714 for each of the three month periods ending June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and incurred a net loss from continuing operations of $1,540,846
and $1,880,936 for each of the six month periods ending June 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  These losses were sustained primarily because the Company has not
achieved the volume of sales and rentals of HelpMates required to cover the
overhead expenses associated with the commercialization of its HelpMate systems,
and to the increase in staffing and sales and marketing expenses noted above. It
should further be mentioned that while the Company's order flow continues to
increase it has increased substantially for rentals not for sales, thereby
resulting in increased losses and a more rapid depletion of cash than originally
anticipated.  The Company anticipates that such losses will continue until the
volume of sales and rentals of HelpMates necessary to cover overhead expenses is
achieved.  As noted above, the overall profitability and cash flow of the
Company is highly dependent upon its mix of robot rentals and robot sales, i.e.,
more robot rentals than sales results in larger losses and a quicker depletion
of cash in the short run.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share of common stock for the three months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996 was ($0.15) and ($0.16), respectively.  Earnings (loss) per share
of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 was ($0.24) and
($0.34), respectively.  The reduction in the net loss per share is attributable
to the increase in number of shares outstanding from the aforementioned initial
public offering.  Earnings per common share is computed using the treasury stock
method based on the weighted average number of common shares and common stock
equivalent shares outstanding during the period, as adjusted  for the stock
split that occurred in conjunction with the initial public offering.   Shares
from the assumed exercise of options and warrants granted by the Company and
shares issuable in  connection with the Company's convertible preferred stock
have been included in the computations of earnings per share for all periods
unless their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

During the first quarter of 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128 Earnings Per Share, which simplifies the calculation of
earnings per share (EPS) and makes it comparable to international standards
recently issued.  The new EPS rules are effective for both interim and annual
periods ending after December 31, 1997.  Although management has not yet
determined the impact of adopting this new standard, they do not expect it to be
material.
    
Other

During the second quarter of 1997 the Company was notified by the Philadelphia
Stock Exchange that the Company's stock had been delisted due to a failure to
meet the requirements for net worth and minimum stock price.  Further, the
Company has been notified by the NASDAQ that pending appeal the Company's stock
will be delisted for failure to meet the minimum bid price.  The Company has
notified the NASDAQ of their request for an appeal to the decision.  Although no
assurances can be given, management intends to continue its efforts to raise
additional financing to continue operations and work towards generating
sufficient cash flow to fund future operations.

For the foreseeable future, the Company does not anticipate paying dividends and
the Company anticipates retaining any earnings to fund its operations. Moreover,
the ability of the Company to pay dividends is subject to contractual
restrictions through September 2001. Specifically, during that period, the
Company may not, unless otherwise approved by one of its lenders, directly or
indirectly declare, order, pay or reserve any sum or property for the payment of
any dividend or other distribution on the Company's capital stock until such
time as the Company has achieved a net profit for three consecutive fiscal
quarters.
