                         SURGICAL SAFETY PRODUCTS, INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2002
                                   (UNAUDITED)



(1) Basis Of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
("GAAP") for interim financial information and Item 310(b) of Regulation S-B.
They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date
of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period may be affected by the estimates and assumptions
management is required to make. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary - C5 Health, Inc. Inter-company
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of
December 31, 2001 and for the two years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000,
including notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2001 Form 10-KSB.


The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations
aggregating $467,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and has
stockholders' and working capital deficits of $2,436,613 and $2,459,712,
respectively at June 30, 2002.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its
ability to attain profitable operations by securing financing and implementing
its business plan and the successful integration of an operating business. In
addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern must be
considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently
encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment
in which the Company operates. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.



                                       7


(2) Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share as required by SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings per Share." Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing
net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net
income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive
common stock equivalents outstanding. During the periods when they would be
anti-dilutive common stock equivalents, if any, are not considered in the
computation.

(3) Impairment and Disposal of Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are reviewed for possible
impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an
asset may not be recoverable or is impaired. During the period ended June 30,
2001, the Company's management determined that certain property and equipment
was impaired and accordingly an impairment loss of $71,973 was recorded during
the period. During the period ended June 30, 2002 the Company recorded a loss on
the disposal of property and equipment aggregating $70,420 for which it received
nominal consideration. At June 30, 2002, management believes that all of its
long-lived assets are recoverable.

(4) Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for Income Taxes", which requires use
of the liability method. FAS 109 provides that deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recorded based on the differences between the tax bases of
assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting
purposes, referred to as temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities at the end of each period are determined using the currently enacted
tax rates applied to taxable income in the periods in which the deferred tax
assets and liabilities are expected to be settled, or realized.

The Company's deferred tax asset resulting from net operating loss carryforwards
is fully offset by a valuation allowance. The Company has recorded a valuation
allowance to state its deferred tax assets at estimated net realizable value due
to the uncertainty related to realization of these assets through future taxable
income.

The provision for income taxes differs from the amount computed by applying the
statutory rate of 34% to income before income taxes due to the effect of the net
operating loss.

(5) Related Party Transactions

During the period ended June 30, 2002, a related entity infused $96,500 for
working capital.

(6) Stockholders' (Deficit)

During the period ended June 30, 2002 the Company issued 6,723,858 shares of its
common stock as full consideration for advances from a related party aggregating
$201,716 (including the $96,500 described in Note 5).

(7) Accounts Payable

During the period ended June 30, 2002 the Company defaulted on a settlement
agreement with a vendor, which called for the payment of $20,000 to settle all
outstanding obligations with the vendor. In the event of default of the payment
the Company agreed to pay a settlement amount of $100,000. The Company charged
the additional $80,000 due to the vendor to operations during the period ended
June 30, 2002.



                                       8



(8) Subsequent Events

The following events occurred subsequent to June 30, 2002 and September 30, 2002.

In December 2002, the Company extinguished a related party note of $500,000, a
related party note of $475,006 and related party accrued interest of $68,431.
The extinguishment resulted from the dissolution of the related party as a legal
company and with no legal standing in the states in which it transacted
business. All known registered agent representatives were contacted and
indicated their resignation with no successor being identified.

At December 3,1 2002, the Company was obligated under an employment agreement
with its chief executive officer, which required the payment of an annual salary
of $100,000 and certain benefits. The agreement was terminated on March 31,
2002, which coincided with the officer's personal efforts being allocated and
directed to other business ventures outside of the Company.

On August 12, 2002 and effective June 1, 2002, the Board of Directors passed a
resolution regarding employment arrangement with its newly appointed chief
executive officer and chief financial officer. The Board resolved that such
arrangement be for an annual salary of $150,000 for each officer. The agreements
may be terminated for any reason; if the Company elects to do so without cause,
then the officers will be entitled to compensation and benefits for a period of
ninety days.

In May 2002, the Company entered a lease expiring on March 31, 2006. This lease
was terminated on October 29, 2002 and all future obligations were released in
exchange for a promissory note totaling $33,009, which included termination and
related fees. This note is due on October 29, 2003 and accrues interest at 6%
per annum.

On February 7, 2001, the Company executed a loan cancellation and settlement
agreement effectively terminating a line of credit agreement. Until fully
converted, the remaining balance of the notes and accrued interest ($341,442 at
December 31, 2001) would accrue interest at 8%. On December 15, 2002 the loan
and accrued interest balance was completely converted into common stock at
$0.375 per share and the note was returned to the company on that date
terminating all related obligations associated with this line of credit
agreement.

The letter of intent signed with Scan America USA, Inc. on July 11, 2002 to
effect a 50/50 merger (see Corporate Developments) expired on December 31, 2002
and was not renewed.

The Company is negotiating to settle a contingent liability with a health care
provider. The provider had agreed to perform clinical testing of ten surgical or
medical products submitted by the Company during the period ended January 31,
2003 in exchange for total consideration of $250,000. No products have been
submitted for testing, however pursuant to the agreement, the $250,000 remains

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Overview

The Company's (OTC BB: SSPD) overall mission is the research, development,
production and distribution of innovative products and services for healthcare.
Consisting of both traditional products and innovative business-to-business
e-solutions, the common goal is a safer and more efficient environment for
healthcare workers, manufacturers and patients. Originally formed as a medical
device company, Surgical shifted focus to being an e-company when the Company's
management recognized an untapped market niche: responding to the critical need
for immediate communication and access to information in healthcare.

The Company currently has a single product which accounts for all of its revenue
generating operations. SutureMate(R), a patented, disposable, surgical assist
device, was initially introduced in 1993. Its unique design facilitates the
highly recommended one-handed suturing technique which is advocated by
occupational safety experts. SutureMate(R) allows the surgeon to use a safer,
more efficient method of surgical stitching. The product has features which
include a foam needle-cushion, and a suture cutting slot.

The Company is seeking to expand its business through the acquisition of
additional products or additional lines of business. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in its efforts.

Corporate Developments

On May 10, 2002, the Company executed an Amendment to the lease agreement on its
corporate offices. These offices were leased by Core Care Delaware, Inc. a
corporation formed in Delaware in February 2001 ("Core Care") that is owned by
Mr. Lyles, a Director of the Company prior to his resignation in February 2002.
The original leas began in April 2001 and the space was subleased to C5. On May
9, 2002, Core Care assigned all rights, title and interest in the lease to the
Company.

On June 7, 2002, Mr. Danielczyk resigned from the Board of Directors to pursue
other business activities. Mr. Novak was elected as Chairman of the Board upon
Mr. Danielczyk's resignation. Mr. Novak was appointed Chief Executive Officer on
August 12, 2002 replacing Dr. Michael Swor who assumed the responsibility of
Vice President of Product Development on this date. Mr. Gray was appointed Chief
Financial Officer on August 12, 2002 moving from acting Chief Financial Officer
position.

The Company signed a letter of intent with Scan America USA, Inc. on July 11,
2002 to effect a 50/50 merger. The letter of intent expired as of December 31,
2002 and was not renewed.

Results of Operations

The Company's financial statements are presented on a going concern basis, which
contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has experienced losses from operations
aggregating $467,728 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and has
stockholders' and working capital deficits of $2,436,613 and $2,459,712,
respectively at June 30, 2002.

The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is contingent upon its
ability to attain profitable operations by securing financing and implementing
its business plan and the successful integration of an operating business. In
addition, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern must be
considered in light of the problems, expenses and complications frequently
encountered by entrance into established markets and the competitive environment
in which the Company operates. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and
classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that
may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going
concern.

Net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $6,803 compared to $74,480
for the same period last year, a decrease of $67,677. Net sales for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 were $13,273 compared to $185,839 for the same period
last year, a decrease of $172,566. The decrease is attributable to reduced sales
of the Company's SutureMate product during 2002 and sales of the Company's Oasis
products during the 2001 periods which did not occur in 2002 as the Company
decided to concentrate its efforts on SutureMate due to the lack of funding for
multiple product lines and the lack of a technical staff to support the Oasis
product line.

Gross profit margin for the quarter June 30, 2002 amounted to $2,717, or 40% of
net sales compared to $70,918 or 95% of net sales for the same period last year.
For the six months ended June 30, 2002, gross profit margin was $3 or 0% of net
sales compared to $167,746 or 90% of net sales for the same period last year.
This decrease in gross profit percentage is attributable to the sales of
SutureMate products in 2002 which carry a substantially lower gross profit
margin than the Oasis products which comprised a significant percentage of the
sales in 2002.

The loss on the impairment and disposition of property and equipment amounted to
$70,420 during the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to $1,597 for the
same period last year. The loss on the impairment and disposition of property
and equipment amounted to $70,420 during the six months ended June 30, 2002 as
compared to $71,973 for the same period last year. The loss during 2002 is
attributable to the disposition of equipment for nominal consideration and the
loss during 2001 is attributable to a write down of impaired property and
equipment.

Interest expense increased by $21,325 to $29,098 for the quarter ended June 30,
2002 compared to $7,773 for the same period last year. For the six months ended
June 30, 2002 interest expense increased by $37,577 to $57,874 compared to
$20,297 for the same period in 2001. The increased expense results principally
for interest recorded on notes payable related to the C5 acquisition.



                                       10



Other operating expenses increased by $80,473 to $193,251 for the quarter ended
June 30, 2002 compared to $112,778 for the same period last year. For the six
months ended June 30, 2002 these expenses increased by $37,784 to $339,437
compared to $301,653 for the same period in 2001. This increase is mainly due to
increased payroll accruals.

Net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $290,052 compared to $51,230
for the same period last year. For the six months ended June 30, 2002 net loss
was $467,728 compared to $226,177 for the same period in 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2002 the Company has no cash or current assets. In addition it
has a working capital deficit of $2,459,712 on June 30, 2002.

The Company's sole source of funding during 2002 was from working capital
advances from an affiliate aggregating $96,500. These advances were converted
into common shares of the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2002.

Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that its existing
resources together with cash generated from operations will not be sufficient to
satisfy the Company's contemplated working capital requirements at for the next
fiscal year. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise capital through
the sale of equity interests or borrow funds to sustain its operations The
Company has no agreements, commitments or understandings with respect to such
debt or equity financing at this time.

The Company has no commitments for capital expendatures at this time.

                PART II

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

On March 13, 2001, the Company was served with a Summons and Complaint by IBM in
an action entitled International Business Machines v. Surgical Safety Products
Inc. (The "Action"). The Action was brought in the Circuit Court in Sarasota
Florida. In the Action, IBM brought four (4) causes of action, namely, breach of
contract, implied contract, account stated and unjust enrichment. Each cause of
action relates to the contract between Surgical and IBM relative to the delivery
of services and equipment. Surgical had entered into the arrangement with IBM to
meet its commitments to US Surgical. When US Surgical failed to perform as
expected, Surgical sought termination of the arrangement with IBM. Effective
July 14, 2000, this contract was terminated. IBM is seeking payment of in excess
of $600,000 for invoices principally related to software and labor associated
with implementing the US Surgical Agreement. The Company brought a motion to
dismiss three (3) of the causes of action that was denied and thereafter filed a
defense. The Company believed it had an absolute defense to the breach of
contract claim since the agreement provided that the Company could terminate and
provided the payments required for such termination. Further the agreement
required that the Company approve all work prior to performance and the work for
which it was invoiced was not approved. The implied contract and unjust
enrichment claims can only go forward if the there is no valid contract since
they are alternative pleadings. The Company believed that it had just and
meritorious defenses to this action. The matter was set for trial in April 2002.
On March 25, 2002, the parties entered into a Stipulation of Settlement whereby
the Company is to pay IBM $20,000 on or before May 31, 2002. In the event such
payment is not made, IBM may enter a final judgment against the Company for
$100,000 by filing a copy of the Stipulation. On the basis of this settlement,
the matter was dismissed with prejudice with the court retaining jurisdiction to
enforce the settlement terms the Company failed to make the required payment and
judgment was entered in the amount of $100,000. The Company is liable to IBM for
$100,000 plus statutory interest from June 1, 2002. Notwithstanding the fact
that the lower amount was not paid, the Company believes that this settlement
was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as it minimized the
potential exposure should the Company have been unsuccessful at trial.


                                       12


C5's right to use the Salud.com domain name was subject to litigation in U.S.
District Court for the Southern District of Florida. C5 acquired the domain name
Salud.com as part of the asset acquisition from MHC. It also acquired any
liabilities relating to such acquired assets that arise on or after the closing.
In a case entitled Salu, Inc. v. Salud.com, Inc. and Millennium Health
Communications, Inc., Case No. 00-3877-CIV, the plaintiff has listed four (4)
causes of action alleging Infringement of a Registered Trademark under 15 USC
ss.1114, Infringement of a Registered Trademark under 15 USC ss.1125(a),
Dilution of a Famous Mark and Violations of Common Law Trademark Rights. The
plaintiff is seeking declaratory and injunctive relief, transfer or forfeiture
of the domain name, monetary damages, an accounting and treble damages and other
damages permitted under 15 USC ss.1117. The plaintiff's complaint was never
served and the first amended complaint that was served in the spring 2001 did
not include MHC. The defendant made a motion to dismiss that was denied and
thereafter filed an answer with affirmative defenses. It then brought a motion
for summary judgment on the basis that the word "salud" means health in Spanish
and therefore there is no basis for an infringement claim for the use in the
domain name. While the motion was pending, the plaintiff filed a second amended
complaint in August 2001 adding MHC. The court ruled that the summary judgment
was moot in light of the second amended complaint. MHC filed an answer with
affirmative defenses and the defendants renewed their motion for summary
judgment to which is attached affidavit evidence from language experts as to the
common usage of the word "salud" in Spanish. Prior to a determination on the
motion and during the first quarter of 2002, the parties settled. The parties
agreed that C5 would insert a disclaimer on its websites that it was not
associated with any of the SALU websites or company. There were no damages paid
by to any party. The court retained jurisdiction to oversee the agreed
settlement. The Company believes this settlement resolves satisfactorily for the
Company finally all issues relative to the use of its domain name.

The Company received a demand letter for $250,000 relating to its arrangement
with Sarasota Memorial Hospital as it related to certain clinical studies to be
performed by Sarasota Memorial Hospital as submitted by the Company. The
clinical studies were never completed by Sarasota Memorial Hospital and the
amount is not believed to be owed by the Company until such studies have been
initiated and completed.

The Company knows of no other legal proceedings to which it is a party or to
which any of its property is the subject or any unsatisfied judgments against
the Company and knows of no other material legal proceedings which are pending,
threatened or contemplated.
