<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Part I<br>
Item 1. Description of Business.</FONT></p>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Background</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie Medical Corporation
(&#147;the Company&#148;) was incorporated in 1982, under the laws of the State
of Delaware and has its principal executive office at 734 Walt Whitman Road,
Melville, New York 11747. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company is actively
engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing medical products and
developing related technologies. Aaron Medical Industries, Inc.
(&#147;Aaron&#148;), a 100% owned subsidiary based in St. Petersburg, Florida is
engaged in marketing the Company&#146;s medical products. Although the
Company&#146;s largest current product line is battery operated cauteries, the
Company has shifted its focus to the manufacture and marketing of generators and
electrosurgical disposables. This new focus on high frequency desiccators and
generators is evident in the development of the Aaron 800 and Aaron 900 high
frequency desiccators, the Aaron 950- the first high frequency desiccator with
cut capability, Aaron 1250 and Aaron 2250, which is to be introduced in 2003. The Aaron 1250 and
Aaron 2250, are designed for today&#146;s rapidly expanding surgi-center market.
Additionally, our new 200-watt electrosurgical unit and our new 300-watt
electrosurgical unit will be marketed under the Bovie name. The 300-watt electrosurgical
generator is the standard power output in hospitals globally.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company also
manufactures a variety of specialty lighting instruments for use in
ophthalmology, general surgery, hip replacement surgery, and for the placement
of endotracheal tubes. An industrial version of this light is distributed
commercially through various retail outlets and stores. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie manufactures and
markets its products both under private label and the Bovie/Aaron label to
distributors worldwide. Additionally, Bovie/Aaron has original equipment
manufacturing (OEM) agreements with other medical device manufacturers. These
OEM arrangements combined with private label and the Bovie/Aaron label allow the
Company to gain greater market share for the distribution of its products. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Company
Products</FONT></H2>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Battery Operated
Cauteries</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Battery operated cauteries
constitute the Company&#146;s largest product line. Cauteries were originally
designed for precise hemostasis (to stop bleeding) in ophthalmology. The current
use of cauteries has been substantially expanded to include sculpting woven
grafts in bypass surgery, vasectomies, evacuation of subungual hematoma (smashed
fingernail) and for arresting bleeding in many types of surgery. Battery
operated cauteries are primarily sterile one-time use products. The Company
manufactures the broadest line of cauteries in the world, including but not
limited to, a line of replaceable battery and tip cauteries, which are popular
in overseas markets. Over the past year there has been increased interest in
using cauteries with special tips and temperature requirements for shaping,
forming and cutting implantable plates and screws. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Electrosurgery
Products</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company continues to
expand its line of electrosurgery products. Electrosurgery products include
generators, electrodes, electrosurgery pencils, and various ancillary disposable
products. These products are used in surgery for the cutting and coagulation of
tissues and constitute the Company&#146;s second largest product line. Our
accessory electrosurgery products are substantially compatible with all major
manufacturers&#146; electrosurgery generator products. With the exception of OEM
products, all of our electrosurgery generators and accessories are marketed
using the Bovie trademark, which is recognized internationally in
electrosurgery. It is estimated that 80% of all surgical procedures performed
worldwide are accomplished by electrosurgery, which includes laparoscopic as
well as general surgery and surgical procedures in gynecology, urology, plastics
and dermatology. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie/Aaron
800 and 900 High Frequency Desiccators</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Aaron 800 and Aaron 900
are low powered office situated generators, designed primarily for dermatology
and plastic surgery. The units are 30-watt high frequency desiccators used
mainly in doctors&#146; offices for removing small skin lesions and growths. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie/Aaron 950</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has developed
the first high frequency desiccator with cut capacity for outpatient surgical
procedures. It was designed mainly for use in doctors&#146; offices and is
utilized in a variety of specialties including dermatology, gynecology, and
plastic surgery. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie/Aaron
1250</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>We have also developed a
120-watt multipurpose electrosurgery generator. The unit also features monopolar
and bipolar functions with pad sensing. The product has received a positive
response from the OEM community and is being produced in at least two private
label formats in addition to the Bovie/Aaron label. This was our first
electrosurgical product to generate revenues in excess of $1,000,000. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie/Aaron
2250</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Given the market interest
in more powerful electrosurgical generators, we have developed a 200-watt
multipurpose digital electrosurgery generator designed for the rapidly expanding
surgi-center market in the United States. This unit features both monopolar and
bipolar functions, has pad and tissue sensing plus nine blended cutting
settings. This powerful unit has the capability to do practically any procedure
performed today in the surgi-center or outpatient setting and will be introduced in 2003. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>New Generators</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In addition to the Aaron
2250 and 1250, the Company is continuing to develop and expand its range of
electrosurgery generators. The Company has recently completed the design and
development of two new generators, which have been cleared for marketing by the
FDA. The first new generator, the Bovie IDS300 was released for marketing in the
first quarter of 2003 and provides greater electrical power and advanced digital
technology. In addition, the Bovie IDS 200 is in the process of being released
in the second quarter of 2003. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>While 200 watts is more than enough power to do most procedures in the operating room.  Three hundred watts is considered
the standard of care and is what most hospitals and surgi-centers will be purchasing. The Bovie IDS-300 has been designed
based on a digital feedback system.  The unit has a tissue sensing capability 20 times faster than the market leader.
For the first time in electrosurgery, through digital technology, we are able to measure tissue impedance in real time
(5000 times a second).  As the impedance varies, the power is adjusted to deliver a consistent clinical effect.</FONT></P>


<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Jump Unipolar
Low Temperature Focused Plasma Technology</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In February 2000, the
Company entered into a Joint Venture Agreement with a German corporation, Jump
Agentur Fuer Elektrotechnik GMBH. Pursuant to the agreement, Bovie advanced
$200,000 to the partnership to cover costs of further research toward the
production of two commercial prototypes. Bovie has made available its facilities
in Florida for development, manufacturing and marketing of the products of the
joint venture and is responsible to expend its best efforts to secure all
necessary financing for the research, development and marketing of the products
estimated to be an amount up to $1,500,000. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Pursuant to agreement, the
joint venture acquired an exclusive license to produce and market any
surgical/medical devices utilizing this technology. In fiscal, 2002, Bovie made
additional advances to the joint venture in the form of research and development
of prototypes expending $84,445 in development costs and incurring engineering
costs estimated at $40,000. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>This technology utilizes a
gas ionization process using only one working electrode. The device produces a
stable thin focused beam of ionized gas that can be controlled in a wide range
of temperatures and intensities, providing the surgeon with precision, minimal
invasiveness and an absence of conductive currents during surgery. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The device has been
developed and patented in both Europe and the United States. Bovie is currently
building its first prototypes for eventual FDA submission and approval, subject
to completion of authorized clinical studies. The initial intended uses are in
the areas of dermatology and plastic surgery. Other contemplated surgical uses
for the technology are cardiovascular, thoracic, gynecological, trauma and other
surgeries. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Battery
Operated Medical and Industrial Lights</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company manufactures a
variety of specialty lighting instruments for use in Ophthalmology as well as
patented specialty lighting instruments for general surgery, hip replacement
surgery and for the placement of endotracheal tubes in emergency and surgical
procedures. These lighting instruments have also been adapted for commercial and
industrial use and are sold to automotive mechanics through companies such as
Snap-On Tools, MAC and Matco. We are presently negotiating a proposed exclusive
license and sale of all our rights to the non- medical application and use of
the Bend-A-Lite technology, trademark and trade name. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Nerve Locator
Stimulator</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company manufactures a
nerve locator stimulator primarily used for identifying motor nerves in hand and
facial reconstructive surgery. This instrument is a self-contained, battery
operated unit, used for single surgical procedures. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Manufacturing,
Marketing and Distribution</FONT></H2>

<P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company manufactures
the majority of its products on its premises in St. Petersburg, Florida. Labor
intensive sub-assemblies and labor intensive products may be out-sourced to the
Company&#146;s specification. The Company markets its products through national
trade journal advertising, direct mail, distributor sales representatives and
trade shows, under the Bovie name, the Bovie/Aaron name and private label. Major
distributors include Allegiance (a Cardinal Company), Burrows, McKesson Medical
Surgical, Inc., IMCO, NDC (Abco, Cida and Starline), Owens &amp; Minor,
and Physician Sales &amp; Service. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Competition</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The medical device industry
is highly competitive. Many competitors in this industry are well established,
do a substantial amount of business, and have greater financial resources and
facilities than our company. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Main competitors are
Conmed, Valley Lab (a division of Tyco), in the electrosurgery market and Xomed
in the battery operated cautery market. Management believes that, based upon
recent developments, we have the ability to aggressively compete in these
markets. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Government
Regulation</FONT></H2>

United States

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s products
and research and development activities are subject to regulation by the FDA and
other regulatory bodies. FDA regulations govern, among other things, the
following activities: </FONT></P>
<pre>

o    Product development.
o    Product testing.
o    Product labeling.
o    Product storage.
o    Pre-market clearance or approval.
o    Advertising and promotion.
o    Product traceability, and
o    Product indications.

</pre>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In the United States,
medical devices are classified on the basis of control deemed necessary to
reasonably ensure the safety and effectiveness of the device. Class I devices
are subject to general controls. These controls include registration and
listing, labeling, pre-market notification and adherence to the FDA Quality
System Regulation. Class II devices are subject to general and special controls.
Special controls include performance standards, post market surveillance,
patient registries and FDA guidelines. Class III devices are those which must
receive pre-market approval by the FDA to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
Currently, we only manufacture Class I and Class II devices. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Manufacturing</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Manufacturing  and  distribution  of our  products  may be  subject to  continuing  regulation  by the FDA.  We will also be subject to
routine inspections by the FDA to determine compliance with the following:</FONT></P>

<pre>

o        Quality System Regulations.
o        Medical device reporting regulations, and

</pre>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>o FDA restrictions on
promoting products for unapproved or off-label uses. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In addition to regulations
enforced by the FDA, we are also subject to regulations under the Occupational
Safety and Health Act, the Environmental Protection Act and other federal, state
and local regulations. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>International</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>To market products in the
European Union and countries other than the United States, we must obtain
regulatory approval similar to that required by the FDA. All of the
Company&#146;s medical devices are classified as Class III devices under the
European Medical Devices Directive. Therefore, we were required to obtain a
&#147;CE Mark&#148; certification from a &#147;Notified Body&#148; in one of the
member countries in the European Union. CE Mark certification is an
international symbol of adherence to quality assurance standards and compliance
with the applicable European Medical Devices Directive. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Approval by a Notified Body
typically includes a detailed review of the following: </FONT></P>

<pre>
o    Description of the device and its components,
o    Safety and performance of the device,
o    Clinical evaluations with respect to the device,
o    Methods, facilities and quality controls used to manufacture the device, and
o    Proposed labeling for the device.
</pre>
<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Manufacturing and
distribution of a device is subject to continued inspection and regulation by
the Notified Body after CE Mark certification to ensure compliance with quality
control and reporting requirements. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Pre-market notification
clearance must be obtained for some Class I and most Class II devices when the
FDA does not require pre-market approval. A pre-market approval application is
required for most Class III devices. A pre-market approval application must be
supported by valid scientific evidence to demonstrate the safety and
effectiveness of the device. The pre-market approval application typically
includes: </FONT></P>

<pre>
o    Results of bench and laboratory tests, animal studies, and clinical studies,
o    A complete description of the device and its components,
o    A detailed description of the methods, facilities and controls used to manufacture the device, and
o    Proposed labeling.
</pre>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The approval process can be
expensive, uncertain and lengthy. A number of devices for which FDA approval has
been sought by other companies have never been approved for marketing. To date
we have not experienced non-approval of any of our devices heretofore submitted
to the FDA. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In July of 1998, we
received ISO 9001 and EN 46001 qualification of our products, a principal step
in the CE Mark certification process. We obtained CE Mark certification to
market our products in the European Union in 1999. In addition to CE Mark
certification, each member country of the European Union maintains the right to
impose additional regulatory requirements. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Outside of the European
Union, regulations vary significantly from country to country. The time required
to obtain approval to market products may be longer or shorter than that
required in the United States or the European Union. Certain European countries
outside of the European Union do recognize and give effect to the CE Mark
certification. We are permitted to market and sell our products in those
countries. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Patents and
Trademarks</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company owns a total of
twelve outstanding patents. No assurance can be given that competitors will not
infringe the Company&#146;s patent rights or otherwise create similar or
non-infringing competing products that are technically patentable in their own
right. </FONT></P>

(See competition)

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Liability
Insurance</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The manufacture and sale of
medical products entail significant risk of product liability claims. The
Company currently maintains product liability insurance with combined coverage

coverage will be adequate to protect the Company from any liabilities it might
incur in connection with the sale or testing of its products. In addition, the
Company may need increased product liability coverage as products are
commercialized. This insurance is expensive and in the future may not be
available on acceptable terms, if at all. </FONT></P>

Properties.</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has executive
office space at 734 Walt Whitman Road, Melville, New York and its St.
Petersburg, Florida facility. The Company leases the executive offices in New
York for $1,350 per month and the lease expires in the year 2003. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As part of the purchase of
its St. Petersburg, Florida (manufacturing facility), the Company caused the
seller to acknowledge that it had previously conducted assessments to document
environmental conditions existing on the property, the results of which, are set
forth in a June 23, 1994 Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) and a January 27,
1995 Contamination Assessment Addendum (CARA). The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) stated in a letter, dated March 31, 1995, that
based on their review of the CARA, the CAR could not be approved and that
additional work was needed to be performed. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In February of 1998, the
environmental engineering firm Geo-Ambient conducted a second addendum to the
CAR, (CAR Addendum II) to complete the additional work requested by the FDEP.
Based on the results of CAR Addendum II, Geo-Ambient recommended to the FDEP
that a &#147;no further action&#148; status be granted for the site. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Based on the &#147;no
further action&#148; finding by Geo-Ambient and the anticipated issuance of an
SCRO by the FDEP, management of the Company had estimated the present value of
the cost of environmental work to be zero. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>On February 16, 2001,
Meryman Environmental, Inc. conducted a ground water test and determined
&#147;the data continues to show an overall decrease in the mass contamination
at the site&#148;. At the end of fiscal 2001 the remediation was completed, the
seller was released and his mortgage paid off. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>We have leased
approximately 3,150 usable square feet of additional office space from a

Proceedings</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s wholly owned
subsidiary, Aaron Medical Industries, Inc. (&#147;Aaron&#148;) is a named
defendant along with a physician and hospital in an action in the civil court,
State of Michigan. The plaintiff is seeking significant damages alleging among
other things, permanent injury and lifelong suffering due to the negligence of
the defendants. The complaint alleges that plaintiff&#146;s damages resulted
from burns and injuries sustained when a physician used an Aaron manufactured
cautery in a surgical procedure upon plaintiff while plaintiff was in an
oxygenated environment. Aaron has denied any affiliation with the physician and
the hospital and any direct or indirect liability for the injuries sustained by plaintiff. However, in the
unlikely event of a  jury finding of liability, management believes its insurance
coverage should adequately satisfy any such potential judgment. </FONT></P>

Management&#146;s Discussion and Analysis.</FONT></H2>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Results of
Operations</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Bovie&#146;s net revenues
for 2002 were approximately $12.44 million as compared to $11.53 million for
2001. The increase in sales of $ .91 million (8%) was the net result of an
increase in revenues from the sale of cauteries and electrosurgery products. The
sales for medical products represented approximately 94% of total sales in 2002
and 2001. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The cost of goods sold
increased by $1,299,556 (22%) from $5,890,739 in 2001 to $7,190,295 in 2002. The
percentage of gross profit from sales decreased from 49% in 2001 to 42% in 2002.
Decreased margins are partly attributable to increased costs associated with the
manufacture of cauteries and the write down of obsolete inventory. The Company is increasing the volume of manufacturing being
undertaken in Europe and the Far East in order to reduce costs. The difference in cost of
sales and gross profit were principally due to an increase in sales and increase
in cost of sales of the Company&#146;s family of cauteries. For both years 2002
and 2001 cauteries accounted for 42% and 41% of sales, 49% and 50% of cost of
goods sold, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Research and development
expenses increased by $403,498 (97%) from $414,657 to $818,155, from 2001 to
2002. The Company continued to invest in the development of new electrosurgery
devices and specialty products for other Companies. (OEM) Research and
development costs are comprised of material, engineering, and payroll costs. These costs include
the development costs for the Joint Venture of $124,445 and $43,000 for 2002 and 2001, respectively.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s
effective federal income tax rate is 34%. As a result of the net loss in the
past year, the Company has not increased its projected net operating loss tax
benefit asset. The net operating loss carryover is $9.03 million. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>General and administrative
expenses of the Company increased $.4 million from $2.1 million in 2001 to $2.5
million in 2002. This was mainly attributable to increases of 1. Expenses in trade show
and advertising of $306,792, to introduce its new electrosurgical line
of products. 2. Costs for general liability insurance of $23,697.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Salaries and related costs
decreased by 4% from $2.2 million in 2001 to $2.1 million in 2002. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Cost of professional
services increased by .3% from $320,480 in 2001 to $321,598 in 2002.
Professional fees were primarily related to consulting, auditing and legal
costs. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Loss from operations was
$473,895 in 2002 as compared to an operating gain of $632,056 in 2001. Net loss
of the Company in 2002 was $514,765 as compared to net gain in 2001 of $784,293. The loss for 2002 was mostly attributable to
the increased costs associated with the development of the Bovie line of generators.
 </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Total other costs as a
percentage of sales were 47% in 2002 as compared to 43% in 2001. These costs
primarily increased due to the costs associated with the increased research and
development costs of the electrosurgery line of products. For the year 2002,
total other costs were $6.3 million as compared to $5.2 million for 2001, a 21%
increase. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company sells its
products through distributors both overseas and in US markets. New distributors
are contacted through responses to Company advertising in international and
domestic medical journals and domestic or international trade shows. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During 2002, international
sales of the Company&#146;s product lines increased by $.3 million (16%). In
2002, these sales were $2.3 million (19% of total sales) as compared to $2.0
million (17% of total sales) in 2001. The Company closed it's sales office in
Germany and is marketing its products from the U.S.A. through a network of overseas
distributors. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In the fourth quarter of
1998, the Company made agreements with various sales representatives to develop
markets for its new products and maintain customer relations. The
representatives receive an average commission of approximately 2% of sales in
their market areas. In 2002 and 2001, commissions paid were $272,539 and
$220,109, respectively, an increase of 24%. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>An adequate supply of raw
materials is available from both domestic and international suppliers. The
relationship between the Company and its suppliers is generally limited to
individual purchase order agreements, supplemented by contractual arrangements
with key vendors to ensure availability of certain products. The Company has
developed multiple sources of supply where possible. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In order to provide
additional working capital, the Company has secured a $1,500,000 credit facility
with a local commercial bank. This facility is payable on demand. For the
year end December 31, 2002 the Company was technically not in compliance with one
of the banks financial covenants. This was attributeable to the Companys loss of
$514,765 for the year 2002. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The bank has waived this
financial covenant for the year end 2002. As of March 25, 2003 the Company had drawn down
a total of $600,000 against its line of credit. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Financial
Condition</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>As of December 31, 2002,
cash totaled $379,209 as compared to $578,354 at December 31, 2001. Cash
provided by operating activities was $ 73,980 in 2002 compared to $940,777 in
2001. Net working capital of the Company was $3,084,743 and $3,135,899 on
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The amount of cash used in
investing activities was $519,308 in 2001, compared to $247,167 in 2002. The
Company continued to invest in property, plant and equipment needed for future
business requirements, including manufacturing capacity. In the year 2001, the
Company invested $200,000 in a joint venture involving a new unipolar low
temperature plasma technology. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The net cash used by
financing activities was $121,777 in 2001 as compared to $25,958 in 2002. A
significant item of financing activity in 2001 resulted from the completion
re-purchase of 400,000 shares of the Company&#146;s common stock for $183,000,
from a major shareholder group that acquired it in connection with the ART
transaction in 1998. Another significant activity in 2001 was the refinancing of
the Company&#146;s line of credit, which was raised from $600,000 to $1,500,000
and the refinancing of the Company&#146;s first mortgage on its St. Petersburg
facility from $372,652 to $475,000. In 2002 the Company paid down its first
mortgage by $31,668. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s ten
largest customers accounted for approximately 63% of net revenues for 2002 as
compared to 59% in 2001. For both years December 31, 2002 and 2001, the
Company&#146;s ten largest trade receivables accounted for approximately 63% of
outstanding receivables. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company believes that it has the financial resources needed to meet business
requirements in the foreseeable future, including capital expenditures needed for the expansion of
its manufacturing site, working capital requirements, and product development
programs, subject to the Company maintaining compliance with its credit
facility. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Outlook</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The statements contained in
this Outlook are based on current expectations. These statements are forward
looking and actual results may differ materially. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has continued
to expand its line of electrosurgery products which include the standard stainless steel electrodes, the Bovie/Aaron
800, Bovie/Aaron 900, Bovie/Aaron 950, Bovie/Aaron 1250, and
the Aaron 2250 high frequency generators (to be introduced in 2003). Pursuant to perceived market demands,
the Company has developed and is currently marketing the Bovie IDS 300-Watt and
Bovie IDS 200-Watt digital generators under the newly formed Bovie sales
division. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>From 2001 to 2002, the
Company&#146;s electrosurgery sales increased by 25% from $3.5 million to $4.4
million. The increase was mainly attributable to private label sales to other
electrosurgery manufacturers. With the introduction of new electrosurgery
products, the Company expects electrosurgery sales to continue to increase in
2003. The Company, through its private label capability and new Bovie sales
division anticipates continued opportunities in the domestic and foreign
markets. The electrosurgery product market is larger than the Company&#146;s
other traditional markets and is dominated by two competitors, ValleyLab and
Conmed. The global market for electrosurgery products exceeds $500 million
annually. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company believes that
the world market for disposable medical products, including the Company&#146;s
battery-operated cauteries continued to have growth potential since these
products have not been affordable or effectively marketed outside the U.S. Due
to these factors, the Company has designed certain disposable products to be
reusable. The Company presently has a significant portion of the U.S. cautery
market and expects moderate growth in sales of cautery-related products to
continue. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Non-Medical
Products</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In 2002, the Company sales
of its flexible lighting products, used primarily in the automotive and
locksmith industries, totaled $736,758. One customer accounted for $561,276 (77%) of
such sales. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Reliance on
Collaborative, Manufacturing and Selling Arrangements</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company is dependent on
certain contractual partners for manufacturing and product development. Should a
collaborative partner fail to meet its contractual obligation to us, the
Company&#146;s future business and value of related assets could be negatively
affected. Furthermore, no assurance can be given that a collaborative partner may give
sufficient high priority to the Company&#146;s products. In addition,
disagreements or disputes may arise between the Company and its contractual
partners which could adversely affect production of its products. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Liquidity and
Future Plans</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s focus is
to acquire, develop, and manufacture new product technologies and to expand its
manufacturing capabilities. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In order to increase
international sales growth and maintain its ability to sell in Europe, the
Company has been certified as ISO9001/EN46001 quality system compliant and has
been granted its CE mark (International Quality control.) </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In December, the Company
satisfied its first mortgage on the building it owns in St. Petersburg, Florida
and replaced it with a new first mortgage from its prime lender in the amount of
$475,000. The mortgage loan is to be repaid over 5 years with a variable
interest starting at the banks present base rate of 4.75%. The Company pays a
principal payment of $2,639.00 plus interest each month. A balloon payment of
$316,660 is due in December 2006. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In May 2001, the Company
changed commercial lenders and increased its credit line from $600,000 to
$1,500,000. The interest rate on the line is variable and is presently at the
bank&#146;s base rate, which is 4.25% per annum. The outstanding balance on the
credit line on December 31, 2002 was $400,000. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company&#146;s future
results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained herein,
particularly the statements regarding growth in the medical products industry,
capital spending, research and development, and marketing and general and
administrative expenses, involve a number of risks and uncertainties. In
addition to the factors discussed above, there are other factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially, such as business conditions and the
general economies; competitive factors including rival manufacturers&#146;
availability of products at reasonable prices; risk of nonpayment of accounts
receivable; risks associated with foreign operations; and litigation involving
intellectual property and consumer issues. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The management of Bovie
Medical Corporation believes that it has the product mix, facilities, personnel,
and competitive and financial resources for business success, but future
revenues, costs, margins, product mix and profits are all subject to the
influence of a number of factors, as discussed above. </FONT></P>

operations, stockholders&#146; equity, and cash flows for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company&#146;s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>We conducted our audits in
accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. These 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. </FONT></P>

the consolidated financial position of Bovie Medical Corporation as of December

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Use of
Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The preparation of consolidated
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. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Consolidated
Financial Statements</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The accompanying
consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Bovie Medical
Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary Aaron Medical Industries, Inc.
Intercompany transaction accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.</FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2> The equity method of accounting is
used when the ompany has a 20% to 50%  interest  in other  companies.  Under the
equity  method,  original  investments  are recorded at cost and adjusted by the
company's share of undistributed earnings or losses of these companies.

</FONT></P>


<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Fair Values of
Financial Instruments</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Cash and cash equivalents. Holdings
of highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less, when
purchased, are considered to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount reported
in the balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates its fair values.
The amount of federally insured cash deposits was $100,000 as of December 31,
2002. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The carrying amount of

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Inventories
and Repair Parts</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Inventories.  Inventories  are stated at the lower of cost or  market.  Cost is  determined  principally  on the  average  actual  cost
method.  Finished goods and  work-in-process  inventories  include  material,  labor,  and overhead costs.  Factory  overhead costs are
allocated to inventory  manufactured  in-house  based upon cost of materials.  The Company  monitors  usage reports to determine if the
carrying  value of any items  should be  adjusted  due to lack of demand for the item.  The  Company  adjusts  down the  inventory  for
estimated  obsolescence or  unmarketable  inventory  equal to difference  between the cost of inventory and the estimated  market value
based upon assumptions about future demand and market  conditions.  If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected
by management, additional inventory write-down may be required.</FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Long-lived
Assets</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Property, plant and
equipment- These assets are recorded at cost less depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization are accounted for on the straight-line method
based on estimated useful lives. The amortization of leasehold improvements is
based on the shorter of the lease term or the life of the improvement.
Betterments and large renewals, which extend the life of the asset, are
capitalized whereas maintenance and repairs and small renewals are expenses, as
incurred. The estimated useful lives are: machinery and equipment, 7-15 years;
buildings, 30 years; and leasehold improvements, 10-20 years. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Intangible assets- These
assets consist of patent rights and trade name. The patent rights are being
amortized by the straight-line method over a 5-year period. The trade name
qualifies as an indefinite-lived intangible asset and is not subject to
amortization. Trade name is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently
if the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may have been
impaired. In the event of impairment of any intangible asset, the excess of the
carrying amount over the fair value is recognized as impairment loss. The
impairment losses are not restored in future. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets. The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or
changes in business circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying amount
of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recovery ability
of long-lived assets held, and to be used, based on undiscounted cash flows and
measures the impairment, if any, using discounted cash flows. </FONT></P>

Recognition and Product Warranty</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Revenue from sales of
products is generally recognized upon shipment to customers. The Company
warrants its products for one year. The estimated future costs of warranties are
not material. Income is recognized in the financial statements (and the customer
billed) when products are shipped from stock. The Company now includes revenues
from freight in gross sales and cost of freight in cost of goods sold.
Allowances for estimated uncollectible accounts, discounts, returns, and
allowances are provided when sales are recorded. </FONT></P>

Earnings Per Common share</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Basic loss per share is
computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The assumed
exercise of outstanding stock options have been excluded from the calculations
of loss per share as their effect is antidilutive. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Basic earnings per share
(&quot;EPS&quot;) is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive
potential shares outstanding (i.e., options and warrants) during the period. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Research and
Development Costs</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Research and development expenses
are charged to operations. Only the development costs that are purchased from
another enterprise and have alternative future use are capitalized and are
amortized over estimated useful life of the asset, generally five years. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>For research and
development activities that are partially or completely funded by other parties
and the obligation is incurred solely to perform contractual services all
expenses are charged to cost of sales. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Income taxes are accounted

rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Non-monetary
Transactions</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The accounting for
non-monetary assets is based on the fair values of the assets involved. Cost of
a non-monetary asset acquired in exchange for another non-monetary asset is
recorded at the fair value of the asset surrendered to obtain it. The difference
in the costs of the assets exchanged is recognized as a gain or loss. The fair
value of the asset received is used to measure the cost if it is more clearly
evident than the fair value of the asset surrendered. </FONT></P>

<H2 ALIGN=LEFT><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Stock-Based
Compensation</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company had adopted SFAS
123 and has adopted the amendments to SFAS 123 disclosure provisions required
under SFAS 148. The Company will continue to account for stock-based
compensation utilizing the intrinsic value method per Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Under
this policy: </FONT></P>

1. Compensation costs are recognized as an expense over the period of employment
attributable to the employee stock options.

2. Stocks  issued in  accordance  with a plan for past or future  services of an
employee are allocated between the expired costs and future costs.  Future costs
are charged to the periods in which the services are performed.

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Pursuant to the disclosure

Recently Issued Accounting Standards:

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In July 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations , and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and
Intangible Assets . SFAS 141 requires all business combinations initiated after
June 30, 2001 to be accounted for using the purchase method and establishes
specific criteria for the recognition of acquired intangible assets apart from
goodwill. Under SFAS 142, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are no
longer subject to amortization over their estimated useful life. Rather, these
assets are subject to, at least, an annual assessment for impairment by applying
a fair-value-based test. The Company adopted SFAS 141 effective July 1, 2001 and
SFAS 142 effective January 1, 2002. </FONT></P>

reduction in amortization expense was $93,865. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In June 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. This statement
requires entities to record the cost of any legal obligation for the retirement
of tangible long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred. SFAS 143 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Company adopted
the standard effective January 1, 2003. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not have a
material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows
of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In August 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets. SFAS 144 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment
or disposal of long-lived assets. The Company adopted SFAS 144 effective January

financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In July 2002, the FASB
issued Statement No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal
Activities. Statement No. 146 addresses the timing of recognition and the
related measurement of the costs of one-time termination benefits. Under SFAS
146, liabilities for costs associated with a plan to dispose of an asset or to
exit a business activity must be recognized in the period in which the costs are
incurred Statement No. 146 is effective for exit activities initiated after
December 31, 2002, with early application allowed. The Company adopted SFAS 146
effective January 1, 2002. The adoption of SFAS 146 did not have a material
effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the
Company. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In December 2002, the FASB
issued Statement No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based compensation - Transition
and Disclosure - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. Statement No. 148
amends Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair-value based
method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition,
Statement No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of Statement No. 123 to
require disclosure in interim financial statements regarding the method of
accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method
used on reported results. The Company does not intend to adopt a fair-value
based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation until a final

applicability of current option pricing models to non-exchange traded employee
stock option plans </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>SFAS 148 also amends the
disclosure requirements of SFAS 123 to require prominent disclosures in both
annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for
stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>In November 2002, the FASB
issued FASB Interpretation (FIN) No. 45, Guarantor s Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of
Others. This interpretation addresses the disclosures to be made by a guarantor
in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under
certain guarantees. It also clarifies (for guarantees issued after January 1,

of Delaware and has its principal executive office at 734 Walt Whitman Road,
Melville, New York 11747. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company is actively
engaged in the business of manufacturing and marketing medical products and
developing related technologies. Aaron Medical Industries, Inc.
(&quot;Aaron&quot;), a 100% owned subsidiary based in St. Petersburg, Florida is
engaged in marketing the Company&#146;s medical products. Although the
Company&#146;s largest current product line is battery-operated cauteries, the
Company has shifted its focus to the manufacture and marketing of generators and
electrosurgical disposables. This new focus on high frequency desiccators and
generators is evident in the development of the Aaron 800 and Aaron 900 high
frequency desiccators, the Aaron 950- the first high frequency desiccator with
cut capability, Aaron 1250 and Aaron 2250. The Aaron 1250 and Aaron 2250 are
designed for today&#146;s rapidly expanding surgi-center market. Additionally,
our new 200-watt electrosurgical unit and our new 300-watt electrosurgical unit
will be marketed under the Bovie name. The 300-watt electrosurgical generator is
the standard power output in hospital globally. </FONT></P>

agreement regarding the building located at 7100 30th Avenue North, St.

previously conducted assessments to document environmental conditions existing
on the property. The results of the assessment review are set forth in a June
23, 1994 Contamination Assessment Report (CAR) and a January 27, 1995
Contamination Assessment Addendum (CARA). The Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (FDEP) stated in a letter, dated March 31, 1995, that
based on their review of the CARA, the CAR could not be approved and that
additional work was needed to be performed. </FONT></P>

Geo-Ambient and the anticipated issuance of an SCRO by the FDEP, management of

OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARDS (Continued)</FONT></H2>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Under the provisions of
SFAS 109, NOLs represent temporary differences that enter into the calculation
of deferred tax assets. Realization of deferred tax assets associated with the
NOL is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income prior to their
expiration. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>Management believes that
there is a risk that certain of these NOLs may expire unused and, accordingly,
has established a valuation allowance against them. Although realization is not
assured for the remaining deferred tax assets, based on the historical trend in
sales and profitability, sales backlog, and budgeted sales of the Company's
wholly owned and consolidated subsidiary, Aaron Medical Industries, Inc.,
management believes it is likely that they may not be totally realized through
future taxable earnings. In addition, the net deferred tax assets could be reduced
in the near term if management's estimates of taxable income during the carry
forward period are significantly reduced. </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The valuation allowance of
$3,185,954 as of December 31, 2001 was increased by $424,540. The change in
valuation allowance was a consequence of recognizing additional tax assets of
$180,000 and reserving for additional allowances for accounts receivable and
inventory loss of $248,992, and patent amortization of $(4,452). The Company
believes it is possible that the benefit of these additional assets may not be
realized in the future. A reconciliation of the Federal statutory tax rate to
the Company&#146;s effective tax rate is as follows: </FONT></P>

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>During 2002, a portion of
the Company's consolidated net sales and consolidated gain from operations was
derived from foreign operations. Foreign operations are subject to certain risks
inherent in conducting business abroad, including price and exchange controls,
limitations on foreign participation in local enterprises, possible
nationalization or expropriation, potential default on the payment of government
obligations with attendant impact on private enterprise, political instability
and health care regulations and other restrictive governmental actions. Changes
in the relative value of currencies take place from time to time and could
adversely affect the Company's results of operations and financial condition.
The future effects of these fluctuations on the operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries are not predictable. </FONT></P>

NOTE 18. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PERFORMED FOR OTHERS

<P align=justify><FONT FACE="Times New Roman, Times, Serif" SIZE=2>The Company has entered into several manufacturing and development agreements to
produce electrosurgical products for medical equipment companies. The agreements
are considered  Original Equipment  Manufacturing  (OEM) contracts that call for
the Company: (1) to develop specific use devices and components (2) the customer
to commit to a  certain  dollar  amount of  purchases  and (3)  charges  what it
believes will be its costs for the  development of the product.  If the customer
rejects or terminates the contract then it forfeits the development  payments it
has incurred.  The customer  must fulfill its agreement if the Company  delivers
its working  prototypes  timely.  The Company has an arrangement with a customer
whereby the customer  will receive a credit for it's  reimbursement  of research
and development cost of $128,000 at December 31, 2002.</FONT></P>
