NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and these notes have been condensed and do not contain all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  See notes to audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Company’s annual report.

2.In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, all of which are normal and recurring, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and its subsidiary as of June 30, 2004 and the results of their operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 and their cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003.

3.The Company prepares its financial information using the same accounting principles as for its annual financial statements except that no physical inventories were taken during either of the periods ended June 30, 2004 or 2003.  Cost of sales for such periods was calculated primarily using standard cost methods.

4.The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

5.The denominator used to determine basic net income per share includes the weighted average common shares outstanding during the quarter.  The denominator used to determine diluted net income (loss) per share includes the shares used in the calculation of basic net income (loss) per share plus the weighted average options outstanding during the period using the treasury-stock method.  The effect of stock options was anti-dilutive for all periods presented.

6.Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.  Comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

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

PACE MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Financial Condition

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $829,273 and working capital of $1,361,690.  Working capital decreased $102,888 since December 31, 2003 owing to the use of cash in operations.  The Company’s cash flows have historically tracked its operational results.

Management continues to believe that the current level of working capital should suffice to ensure that on-going operations are financed adequately.

Financial Results - Three Months ended June 30, 2004 versus Three Months ended June 30, 2003

Sales in the second quarter of 2004 decreased 18% from the sales recognized in the second quarter of 2003.  The decrease in sales was due, in part, to the Company’s inability to obtain raw materials on a scheduled basis from its suppliers.  The Company anticipates that it may encounter additional component shortages in future quarters.  Sales were also lower due to a suspension of shipments of its model 4170 in response to a medical issue raised by the Products Regulatory Agency (England) in May, 2004.  The medical issue has since been resolved and shipments of the 4170 are expected to resume in September 2004.

The Company’s margins in the second quarter were lower than those attained in 2003 (from 42% in 2003 to 15% in 2004). This occurred due to reduced sales and production variances.  It should be noted that pricing has remained firm on all products.

Operating expenses were essentially unchanged in the three months ended June 30, 2004 versus the three months ended June 30, 2003.  Management anticipates some increase in its operating expenditures during the balance of 2004.

No tax benefit was recorded for the three months ended June 30, 2004 owing to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to use net operating loss carryforwards in both the U.S. and U.K.

Net loss for the quarter was $174,082 or $0.05 per share, representing an increase in the loss of $84,771 from the comparable quarter in 2003.

7

Financial Results - Six Months ended June 30, 2004 versus Six Months ended June 30, 2003

Sales in the six months ended June 30, 2004 decreased 9% from the amount posted in the six months ended in June 30, 2003.  The decrease in sales was due to the Company’s inability to obtain raw materials on a scheduled basis from its suppliers and the suspension of shipments of the Model 4170 described above, in each case, during the second quarter.

The Company’s margins for the year-to-date period were lower than those achieved in the first half of 2003 (from 43% in 2003 to 42% in 2004). This occurred due to the sales decline and production variances in the second quarter.  It should be noted that pricing has remained firm on all products.

Operating expenses were essentially unchanged for the six months ended June 30, 2004 versus the six months ended June 30, 2003.  Management anticipates some increase in its operating expenditures during the balance of 2004.

No tax benefit was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2004 owing to uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to use net operating loss carryforwards in both the U.S. and U.K.

Net loss for the first six months of 2004 was $135,652 or $0.04 per share, versus a net loss of $104,845, or $0.03 per share, for the comparable period in 2003.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures

As of the date of this report, our President and Chief Executive Officer performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14.  Based upon that evaluation, the President and Chief Executive Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring the reporting of material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  There were no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls over financial reporting subsequent to the date of the most recent evaluation.
