4. Loans to Affiliates
---------------------
Hearing Innovations, Inc.
---------------------------
During fiscal 2003, the Company entered into two loan agreements whereby
Hearing Innovations, Inc. ("Hearing Innovations") is required to pay the
Company an aggregate amount of $75,666 due November 30, 2003. All notes
bear interest at 8% per annum. The notes are secured by a lien on all of
Hearing Innovations' right, title and interest in accounts receivable,
inventory, property, plant and equipment and processes of specified
products whether now existing or arising after the date of these
agreements. The loan agreements contain warrants to acquire 75,666 shares
of Hearing Innovations common stock, at the option of the Company, at a
cost of $1.00 per share. These warrants, which are deemed nominal in value,
expire in October 2005. The Company recorded an allowance against the
entire balance of $75,666 and accrued interest for the above loans. The
related expense has been included in loss on impairment of investments in
the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company
believes the loans and related interest are impaired since the Company does
not anticipate that these loans will be paid in accordance with the
contractual terms of the loan agreements.
5. Business Segments
------------------
The Company operates in two business segments which are organized by
product types: industrial products and medical devices. Industrial products
include the Sonicator ultrasonic liquid processor, Aura ductless fume
enclosure, the Autoscope and Guardian endoscope disinfectant system from
Labcaire and the Mystaire wet scrubber. Medical devices include the Auto
Sonix for ultrasonic cutting and coagulatory system, refurbishing of
high-performance ultrasound systems and replacement transducers for the
medical diagnostic ultrasound industry, ultrasonic lithotriptor and the
ultrasonic neuro aspirator, used for neurosurgery, and soft tissue
aspirator, primarily for the cosmetic surgery market. The Company evaluates
the performance of the segments based upon income from operations before
general and administrative expenses and litigation (recovery) settlement
expenses. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those
described in the summary of significant accounting policies (Note 1) in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002.
Certain items are maintained at the corporate headquarters (corporate) and
are not allocated to the segments. They primarily include general and
administrative expenses and litigation (recovery) settlement expenses. The
Company does not allocate assets by segment. Summarized financial
information for each of the segments are as follows:

6. Revolving Credit Facilities
-----------------------------
On July 1, 2002, Labcaire replaced its bank overdraft facility with HSBC
Bank plc with a debt purchase agreement with Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance.
The amount of this facility is approximately $1,384,000 ( 950,000) and
bears interest at the bank's base rate plus 1.75% and a service charge of
.15% of sales invoice value. The agreement expires on June 28, 2003 and
covers all United Kingdom and European sales.
The Company was not in compliance with, and has received a waiver of,
certain covenants under its revolving line of credit facility with Fleet
Bank (as discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
ended June 30, 2002) for the period ending September 30, 2002. The Company
has not borrowed against this revolving credit facility.
7. Subsequent Events
------------------
Labcaire Systems Ltd.
-----------------------
In October 2002, under the terms of the revised purchase agreement (the
"Labcaire Agreement") with Labcaire (as discussed in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002), the Company paid
$232,394 for 9,286 shares (2.70%) of the outstanding common stock of
Labcaire bringing the acquired interest to 100%. This represents the fiscal
2003 buy-back and last portion, as defined in the Labcaire Agreement.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
================================================
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2002 and 2001.
NET SALES: Net sales of the Company's medical devices and industrial products
- -----------
increased $187,801 to $7,010,322 for the three months ended September 30, 2002
from $6,822,521 for the three months ended September 30, 2001. This difference
in net sales is due to an increase in medical devices of $426,534 offset by
lower industrial products sales of $238,733. The increase in medical devices is
due to an increase in sales of diagnostic medical devices of $384,177 and an
increase of $42,357 in therapeutic medical devices, both due to customer demand.
The decrease in industrial products is due to decreased wet scrubber sales of
$746,033 primarily offset by an increase in Labcaire sales of $323,071, an
increase of ultrasonic sales of $100,073 and an increase in ductless fume
enclosure sales of $84,156. Wet scrubber sales continue to be adversely
affected by the downturn of the semi-conductor market. The increase in Labcaire
sales is due to the new Guardian product introduced in December 2001.
GROSS PROFIT: Gross profit decreased to 42.2% for the three months ended
- --------------
September 30, 2002 from 46.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2001.
The decrease in gross profit is predominantly due to the unfavorable mix of high
and low margin product deliveries for industrial products, primarily ductless
fume enclosures and medical devices. The medical devices decrease in gross
profit is due to the unfavorable mix between sales of units and accessories.
SELLING EXPENSES: Selling expenses decreased $94,342 to $935,603 for the three
- ------------------
months ended September 30, 2002 from $1,029,945 for the three months ended
September 30, 2001. Medical device selling expenses increased $15,706
predominantly due to additional sales and marketing efforts for diagnostic
medical devices. Industrial selling expenses decreased $110,048 predominantly
due to a decrease in ultrasonic commissions and wet scrubber commissions and
marketing expenses.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES: General and administrative expenses
- --------------------------------------
increased $32,341 from $1,487,532 in the three months ended September 30, 2001
to $1,519,873 in the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase is
predominantly due to an increase in general and administrative expenses relating
to severance costs for a Labcaire executive partially offset by lower travel and
stockholder relations expenses.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES: Research and development expenses increased
- ------------------------------------
$80,071 from $459,255 for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to $539,326
for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The increase is predominantly
due to increased research and development on medical device products in the
amount of $61,448. In September 2002, the Company funded $50,000 to Focus
Surgery, Inc. ("Focus Surgery") to start research and development for the
treatment of kidney tumors utilizing high intensity focused ultrasound
technology.
LITIGATION (RECOVERY) SETTLEMENT EXPENSES. The Company recorded a reversal of
- ---------------------------------------------
the litigation settlement during the first quarter of fiscal 2003 of $127,302,
which represents the sale of Lysonix 2000 units by Mentor Corporation under our
manufacturing and distribution agreement, that was previously reserved for.
Accordingly, the Company recorded a reversal of the litigation settlement of
$127,302. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002.

MISONIX, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
============================================================
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Other income during the three months ended September 30,
- -----------------------
2002 was $15,111. During the three months ended September 30, 2001, other
expense was $17,100. The increase of $32,211 was principally due to a decrease
in loss on impairment of investments of $309,451, offset by lower interest
income of $107,837 and reduced royalty income of $170,710.
INCOME TAXES: The effective tax rate is 47.9% for the three months ended
- --------------
September 30, 2002 as compared to an effective tax rate of 124% for the three
months ended September 30, 2001. The current effective tax rate is a mixture of
the Labcaire tax expense offset by domestic entities benefits which also
incorporate the valuation allowance recorded. The Company recorded a valuation
allowance in the amount of $43,926 for the three months ended September 30, 2002
against the deferred tax asset relating to the loss on the loans and debentures
issued by Hearing Innovations because the Company does not anticipate capital
gains to offset the capital losses. The valuation allowance was recorded in
accordance with the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109 "Accounting for Income
Taxes".
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
General: Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the
- --------
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), in December 2001, requires all
companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods
used in the preparation of the financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002 includes a summary of the Company's
significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of its
financial statements. The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial
condition and results of operations are based upon the Company's financial
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going
basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related
to bad debts, inventories, goodwill, property, plant and equipment and income
taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience
and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about
the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different
assumptions or conditions. The Company considers certain accounting policies
related to allowance for doubtful accounts, inventories, property, plant and
equipment, goodwill and income taxes to be critical policies due to the
estimation process involved in each.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: The Company's policy is to review its
- --------------------------------
customers' financial condition prior to extending credit and, generally,
collateral is not required. The Company utilizes letters of credit on foreign
or export sales where appropriate.
Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out)
- ------------
or market and consist of raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods.
Management evaluates the need to record adjustments for impairments of inventory
on a quarterly basis. The Company's policy is to assess the valuation of all
inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
============================================================
Property, Plant and Equipment: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at
- ---------------------------------
cost. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line
method over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 5 years. Depreciation of
the Labcaire building is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of 50 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset, whichever is
shorter. The Company's policy is to periodically evaluate the appropriateness
of the lives assigned to property, plant and equipment and to make adjustments
if necessary.
Goodwill: In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
- ---------
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Nos. 141 ("SFAS 141") and
142 ("SFAS 142"), "Business Combinations" and "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets," respectively. SFAS 141 replaces Accounting Principles Board ("APB")
Opinion 16 "Business Combinations" and requires the use of the purchase method
for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 requires
goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever
events or circumstances occur that indicate goodwill might be impaired. With
the adoption of SFAS 142, as of July 1, 2001, the Company reassessed the useful
lives and residual values of all acquired intangible assets to make any
necessary amortization period adjustments. Based on that assessment, only
goodwill was determined to have an indefinite useful life and no adjustments
were made to the amortization period or residual values of other intangible
assets. SFAS 142 provides a six-month transitional period from the effective
date of adoption for the Company to perform an assessment of whether there is an
indication that goodwill is impaired. To the extent that an indication of
impairment exists, the Company must perform a second test to measure the amount
of impairment. The second test must be performed as soon as possible, but no
later than the end of the fiscal year. Any impairment measured as of the date
of adoption will be recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting principle. The Company performed the first test and determined that
there is no indication that the goodwill recorded is impaired and, therefore,
the second test was not required. The Company also completed its annual
goodwill impairment tests for fiscal 2002 in the fourth quarter. There were no
indicators that goodwill recorded was impaired.
Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109,
- --------------
"Accounting for Income Taxes". Under this method, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax bases, operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted
tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those
temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on
deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Working capital at September 30, 2002 and June 30, 2002 was $12,135,642 and
$11,854,281, respectively. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, cash
utilized in operations totaled $68,057. This was primarily due to the cash paid
for inventory purchased for unshipped orders. In the quarter ended September
30, 2002, cash used in investing activities was $173,496, which primarily
consisted of loans made to Hearing Innovations, Inc. ("Hearing Innovations") and
the purchase of property, plant and equipment during the regular course of
business. In the quarter ended September 30, 2002, cash provided by financing
activities was $135,928 with primarily consisted of proceeds from short-term
borrowings offset by principal payments on capital lease obligations.

MISONIX, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
=========================================================
Hearing Innovations, Inc.
- ---------------------------
During fiscal 2003, the Company entered into two loan agreements whereby Hearing
Innovations is required to pay the Company an aggregate amount of $75,666 due
November 30, 2003. All notes bear interest at 8% per annum. The notes are
secured by a lien on all of Hearing Innovations' right, title and interest in
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and processes of
specified products whether now existing or arising after the date of these
agreements. The loan agreements contain warrants to acquire 75,666 shares of
Hearing Innovations common stock, at the option of the Company, at a cost of
$1.00 per share. These warrants, which are deemed nominal in value, expire in
October 2005. The Company recorded an allowance against the entire balance of
$75,666 and accrued interest of $738 for the above loans. The related expense
has been included in loss on impairment of investments in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. The Company believes the loans and
related interest are impaired since the Company does not anticipate that these
loans will be paid in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan
agreements.
Revolving Credit Facilities
- -----------------------------
On July 1, 2002, Labcaire replaced its bank overdraft facility with HSBC Bank
plc with a debt purchase agreement with Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance. The
amount of this facility is approximately $1,384,000 ( 950,000) and bears
interest at the bank's base rate plus 1.75% and a service charge of .15% of
sales invoice value. The agreement expires on June 28, 2003 and covers all
United Kingdom and European sales.
The Company was not in compliance with, and has received a waiver of, certain
covenants under its revolving line of credit facility with Fleet Bank (as
discussed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ended June 30,
2002) for the period ending September 30, 2002. The Company has not borrowed
against this revolving credit facility.
Labcaire
- --------
In October 2002, under the terms of the revised purchase agreement (the
"Labcaire Agreement") with Labcaire (as discussed in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2002), the Company paid $232,394 for
9,286 shares (2.70%) of the outstanding common stock of Labcaire bringing the
acquired interest to 100%. This represents the fiscal 2003 buy-back and last
portion, as defined in the Labcaire Agreement.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- ----------------------------------
In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FASB Statement
No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" (SFAS
144), which supersedes both FASB Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of"
(SFAS 121) and the accounting and reporting provisions of APB Opinion No. 30,
"Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a
Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions" (Opinion 30), for the disposal of a segment of a
business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS 144 retains the
fundamental provisions in SFAS 121 for recognizing and measuring impairment
losses on long-lived assets held for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of
by sale, while also resolving significant implementation issues associated with
SFAS 121. For example, SFAS 144 provides guidance on how a long-lived asset
that is used as part of a group should be evaluated for impairment, establishes
criteria for when a long-lived asset is held for sale, and prescribes the
accounting for a long-lived asset that will be disposed of other than by sale.
SFAS 144 retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 on how to present
discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation
to include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business).
Unlike SFAS 121, SFAS 144 does not address the impairment of goodwill. Rather,
goodwill is evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets".
12
MISONIX, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
=========================================================
The Company is required to adopt SFAS 144 no later than the fiscal year
beginning after December 15, 2001. In the first quarter of fiscal 2003, the
Company adopted SFAS 144 for long-lived assets held for use and the adoption of
SFAS 144 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements
because the impairment assessment under SFAS 144 is largely unchanged from SFAS
121. The provisions of the Statement for assets held for sale or other disposal
generally are required to be applied prospectively after the adoption date to
newly initiated disposal activities. Therefore, management cannot determine the
potential effects that adoption of SFAS 144 will have on the Company's financial
statements.
Forward Looking Statements: This report contains certain forward looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Exchange Act, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors
created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying
the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward looking statements contained in this report will prove to be
accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results
specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not
limited to, the absence of anticipated contracts, higher than historical costs
incurred in performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, product
mix in sales, results of joint venture and investment in related entities,
future economic, competitive and market conditions, and the outcome of legal
proceedings as well as management business decisions.

QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE
ABOUT MARKET RISK AND CONROLS AND PROCEDURS
===========================================
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Market Risk:
The principal market risks (i.e. the risk of loss arising from adverse changes
in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest rates
on short-term investments and foreign exchange rates, which generate translation
gains and losses due to the English Pound to U.S. Dollar conversion of Labcaire.
Foreign Exchange Rates:
Approximately 31% of the Company's revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2003
were received in English Pounds currency. To the extent that the Company's
revenues are generated in English Pounds, its operating results are translated
for reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars using rates of 1.55 and 1.46 for the
three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. A strengthening
of the English Pound, in relation to the U.S. Dollar, will have the effect of
increasing its reported revenues and profits, while a weakening of the English
Pound will have the opposite effect. Since the Company's operations in England
generally sets prices and bids for contracts in English Pounds, a strengthening
of the English Pound, while increasing the value of its UK assets, might place
the Company at a pricing disadvantage in bidding for work from manufacturers
based overseas. The Company collects its receivables in the currency the
subsidiary resides in. The Company has not engaged in foreign currency hedging
transactions, which include forward exchange agreements.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
