                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT







To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Utah Medical Products, Inc.


We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Utah Medical Products, Inc. as
of  December  31,  2000 and 1999,  and the related  consolidated  statements  of
income,  stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the years ended December 31,
2000,  1999  and  1998.  These   consolidated   financial   statements  are  the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the  accounting  principles  used and  significant  estimates  made by
management,  as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated  financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position  of Utah  Medical
Products,  Inc.  as of  December  31,  2000 and 1999,  and the  results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2000,  1999 and
1998 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1. Summary of
   Significant
   Accounting
   Policies

               Organization
               Utah Medical  Products,  Inc. and its wholly owned  subsidiaries,
               principally   Utah  Medical   Products  Ltd.,  which  operates  a
               manufacturing  facility in Ireland,  and Columbia  Medical,  Inc.
               (the  Company) are in the  business of  producing  cost-effective
               devices for the health care industry.  The Company's  broad range
               of products  includes  those used in critical  care areas and the
               labor  and  delivery   departments  of  hospitals,   as  well  as
               outpatient clinics and physician's offices.  Products are sold in
               both domestic U.S. and international markets.


               Basis  of  Presentation
               Effective July 1, 1997, the Company  acquired  Columbia  Medical,
               Inc. (Columbia) in a purchase transaction. Operations of Columbia
               have been included in the consolidated  operations since the date
               of purchase.


               Principles of Consolidation
               The  consolidated  financial  statements  include  those  of  the
               Company  and its  subsidiaries.  All  intercompany  accounts  and
               transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


               Cash and Cash Equivalents
               For purposes of the  consolidated  statement  of cash flows,  the
               Company considers cash on deposit and short-term investments with
               original  maturities  of three months or less to be cash and cash
               equivalents.


               Grant Claims Receivable
               Grant  claims  receivable   consists  of  amounts  due  from  the
               Industrial   Development   Agency  (Ireland)  under  capital  and
               employment grant agreements for the construction and operation of
               the Company's Ireland manufacturing facility.


               Inventories
               Finished  products,   work-in-process,   and  raw  materials  and
               supplies inventories are stated at the lower of cost (computed on
               a first-in, first-out method) or market (see Note 2).


               Property and Equipment
               Property  and  equipment  are  stated at cost.  Depreciation  and
               amortization   are   computed   using   the   straight-line   and
               units-of-production   methods  over  estimated  useful  lives  as
               follows:

                Building and improvements                        30-40 years
                Furniture, equipment, and tooling                 3-10 years

 1. Summary of
    Significant
    Accounting
    Policies
    Continued

               Intangible Assets
               Costs  associated  with the  acquisition of patents,  trademarks,
               goodwill,   license  rights,   and  non-compete   agreements  are
               capitalized  and amortized  using the  straight-line  method over
               periods ranging from 5 to 17 years.


               Income Taxes
               The  Company  accounts  for  income  taxes  under  SFAS No.  109,
               "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes,"  whereby   deferred  taxes  are
               computed under the asset and liability method.


               Earnings per Share
               The  computation  of basic  earnings per common share is based on
               the weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  during each
               year.

               The computation of diluted  earnings per common share is based on
               the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year
               plus the common  stock  equivalents  which  would  arise from the
               exercise of stock  options  and  warrants  outstanding  using the
               treasury  stock  method and the  average  market  price per share
               during the year.


               Translation of Foreign Currencies
               Assets and  liabilities of the Company's  foreign  subsidiary are
               translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable  exchange rates at
               year-end.  Income and expense items are translated at the average
               rate of exchange  during the year. Net gains or losses  resulting
               from the translation of the Company's  assets and liabilities are
               reflected as a separate component of stockholders' equity.


               Concentration of Credit Risk
               Financial  instruments which  potentially  subject the Company to
               concentration   of  credit  risk   consist   primarily  of  trade
               receivables.  In the  normal  course  of  business,  the  Company
               provides credit terms to its customers.  Accordingly, the Company
               performs   ongoing  credit   evaluations  of  its  customers  and
               maintains  allowances for possible  losses which,  when realized,
               have been within the range of management's expectations.

 1. Summary of
    Significant
    Accounting
    Policies
    Continued

               The  Company's  customer  base  consists  primarily of healthcare
               providers.  Although  the  Company is  directly  affected  by the
               well-being of the medical  industry,  management does not believe
               significant credit risk exists at December 31, 2000.

               The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at
               times, may exceed federally  insured limits.  The Company has not
               experienced  any losses in such  accounts  and believes it is not
               exposed  to  any  significant   credit  risk  on  cash  and  cash
               equivalents.


               Use of Estimates in the  Preparation of Financial  Statements The
               preparation of financial  statements in conformity with generally
               accepted  accounting   principles  requires  management  to  make
               estimates  and  assumptions  that affect the reported  amounts of
               assets and  liabilities  and disclosure of contingent  assets and
               liabilities  at the  date  of the  financial  statements  and the
               reported  amounts of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting
               period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


               Reclassifications
               Certain  changes  to the  presentation  of the 1998  consolidated
               financial  statement  have been made to conform with the 2000 and
               1999 presentation.

               Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  (SFAS) No.  123,

               compensation   cost  has  been   recognized   in  the   financial
               statements.  Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option
               plans been  determined  based on the fair value at the grant date
               for awards  starting in 1995  consistent  with the  provisions of
               SFAS No. 123, the  Company's  net earnings and earnings per share

     Commitments

               The Company has license  agreements for the rights to develop and

               royalties  ranging  from  1.5% to 5% of  sales,  and in one  case
               certain  payments to the  developer  contingent  upon the product
               achieving certain annual revenue thresholds.


               The Company has license  agreements  with unrelated  companies to
               provide  exclusive and nonexclusive  rights to purchase,  market,

12. Fair Value
    of Financial
    Instruments


               None of the Company's financial  instruments are held for trading
               purposes.  The  Company  estimates  that  the  fair  value of all
               financial  instruments  at  December  31,  2000,  does not differ
               materially  from the aggregate  carrying  values of its financial
               instruments  recorded  in the  accompanying  balance  sheet.  The
               estimated fair value amounts have been  determined by the Company
               using available  market  information  and  appropriate  valuation
               methodologies.  Considerable judgement is necessarily required in
               interpreting  market data to develop the estimates of fair value,
               and, accordingly, the estimates are not necessarily indicative of
               the amounts that the Company  could  realize in a current  market
               exchange.


13. Recent
  Accounting
  Pronounce-
    ments

               In June 1999,  the FASB  issued  SFAS No.  137,  "Accounting  for
               Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities-  Deferral of the
               Effective Date of FASB  Statement No. 133." SFAS 133  establishes
               accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and
               requires  recognition of all derivatives as assets or liabilities
               in the statement of financial  position and  measurement of those
               instruments  at fair value.  SFAS 133 is now effective for fiscal
               years  beginning  after June 15, 2000. The Company  believes that
               the adoption of SFAS 133 will not have any material effect on the
               financial statements of the Company.
