HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of Hologic, Inc. (the Company)
presented herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the Securities
and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include
all of the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles. These statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended
September 30, 1995, included in the Company's Form 10-K as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on December 26, 1995.

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 30, 1996, the consolidated
statements of income for the three and six months ended March 30, 1996 and
March 25, 1995, the consolidated statement of stockholders' equity for the six
months ended March 30, 1996 and, the consolidated statements of cash flows for
the six months ended March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995, are unaudited but, in
the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal,
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results for these
interim periods.

The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 30,
1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
entire fiscal year ending September 28, 1996.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the
application of certain accounting policies described in this and other notes
to the consolidated financial statements.

(a) Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-
in, first-out) or market and consist of the following:

March 30, September 30,
1996 1995
-------- -------------
Raw materials and work-in-process.... . $4,986,364 $4,030,275
Finished goods....................... 1,749,249 2,886,725
---------- ----------
$6,735,613 $6,917,000
=========== ===========


Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material,
labor and manufacturing overhead.

(b) Foreign Currency Translation:

Assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are
translated into U.S. dollars at exchange rates in effect at the end of the
period, and revenues and expenses are translated at the weighted average
exchange rate in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign
currency translation are included in the stockholders' equity section under
cumulative translation adjustment. Foreign currency transaction gains and
losses arising primarily from settlement of sales transactions with the
Company's foreign subsidiaries are included in results of operations. A
transaction loss of $23,617 and $45,697 for the three and six months ended
March 30, 1996, respectively, and transaction losses of $26,802 and $67,173
for the three and six months ended March 25, 1995, respectively, are included
in other expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

(3) Line of Credit

The Company has an international line of credit with a bank for the
equivalent of $3,000,000, which bears interest at PIBOR plus 2.25%. The
borrowings under this line are denominated in the local currency of its
European subsidiaries and are primarily used by these subsidiaries to settle
intercompany sales.

(4) Significant Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk

In the six months ended March 30, 1996 and March 25, 1995, the Company
had one customer who comprised 20% and 32% of product sales, respectively.
This customer had amounts due to the Company of approximately $3,355,000 at
March 30, 1996, all of which were within the payment terms of the sales.

(5) Patent Litigation

The Company incurred litigation expenses in the first quarter of fiscal
1996 and in fiscal 1995 relating primarily to a patent dispute with Lunar
Corporation ("Lunar") and, to a lesser extent, a separate patent dispute with
B.V. Optische Industrie de Oude Delft ("Oldelft"). In November 1995, a
definitive settlement agreement was reached between the Company and Lunar
settling all outstanding disputes relating to x-ray and ultrasound technology.
The complaint brought by Oldelft against the Company was dismissed in December
1995. In January 1996, Oldelft filed a motion for reconsideration of the
dismissal and amended its complaint. In April 1996, the Court denied Oldelft
its motion for reconsideration of the dismissal.



(6) Stockholders' Equity

On January 26, 1996, the Company completed a secondary public offering
of an additional 2,492,000 shares (post split) of the Company's Common Stock
at a price of $19.90 per share which resulted in net proceeds (after deducting
issuance costs) of approximately $49,300,000.

On February 25, 1996, the stockholders' of the Company approved an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number
of shares of Common Stock authorized from 10,000,000 to 30,000,000. On March
25, 1996, the Company effected a two-for-one stock split in the form of a
stock dividend. All share and per share data in the accompanying consolidated
financial statements have been retroactively restated to reflect the stock
split.





PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION (Continued)

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

HOLOGIC, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Results of Operations

The Company's results of operations have and may continue to be subject
to significant quarterly variation. The results for a particular quarter may
vary due to a number of factors, including the overall state of health care
and cost containment efforts, the development status and demand for drug
therapies to treat osteoporosis, economic conditions in the Company's markets,
the timing of orders, the timing of expenditures in anticipation of future
sales, the mix of products sold by the Company, the introduction of new
products and product enhancements by the Company or its competitors and
pricing and other competitive conditions.

Revenues. Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996
increased 108% to $18,757,068 from $9,031,119 for the second quarter of fiscal
1995. Total revenues for the current six month period increased 74% to
$33,520,701 from $19,229,974 for the first six months of fiscal 1995. This
increase was primarily due to the increase in the total number of DXA bone
densitometer product shipments in both the Company's domestic and
international markets, particularly in the United States where product sales
for the first half of the year increased 600% over the prior year. There was
also a shift in product sales mix to the Company's new line of bone
densitometers, the ACCLAIM[trademark] series, which the Company began
shipping in January 1995. The new ACCLAIM products have higher average
selling prices than the comparable DXA bone densitometers which they replace.
For the current quarter, sales of the ACCLAIM product accounted for over 93% of
product sales. Other revenues also increased for the current three and six
month periods due to increases in revenue relating to medical data management
services provided to pharmaceutical companies to assist in the collection and
monitoring of clinical trial data.

Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 increased 27% from
$14,763,633 in the immediately preceding quarter primarily due to an increase
in the number of DXA systems sold in the United States.

In the first six months of fiscal 1996, approximately 44% of product
sales were generated in the United States, 27% in Asia, 23% in Europe, and 6%
in other international markets. In the first six months of fiscal 1995,
approximately 12% of product sales were generated in the United States, 41% in
Asia, 40% in Europe and 7% in other international markets.

The Company believes that the two major drivers of the growth in demand
for its bone densitometers are (i) the availability of new and effective drug
therapies to treat and prevent bone diseases, including osteoporosis, and (ii)
the availability of reimbursement to healthcare providers for bone density
measurements of patients. On September 29, 1995, the FDA cleared for
marketing Merck & Co., Inc.'s ("Merck") new bisphosphonate, Fosamax, for
treatment of established osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. The Health
Care Finance Administration, the agency which administers Medicare, increased
the recommended reimbursement rate for DXA tests to a national average of
$124, effective January 1, 1995, from $68, the original recommended
reimbursement rate which went into effect in April 1994.

Costs and Expenses. The cost of product sales decreased as a
percentage of product sales to 47% in the first three and six months of fiscal
1996 from 57% and 56% in the first three and six months of fiscal 1995,
respectively. In the current quarter and six months, these costs decreased as
a percentage of product sales primarily due to increasing shipments of the
Company's new family of DXA bone densitometers, the ACCLAIM series, a volume
increase in the number of DXA systems sold resulting in certain manufacturing
efficiencies, and an increase in sales by the Company's direct sales force
(primarily in the United States) which results in higher selling prices. The
Company began selling the ACCLAIM product in the second quarter of fiscal 1995
and has recognized higher gross margins than on the older DXA product line
from higher average selling prices and lower labor and overhead-related
manufacturing costs.

Research and development expenses increased 60% to $1,769,406 (9% of
total revenues) in the current quarter from $1,108,986 (12% of total revenues)
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. For the current six month period,
research and development expenses increased 48% to $3,076,899 (9% of total
revenues) from $2,076,566 (11% of total revenues) for the first six months of
1995. The increase in research and development expenses in 1996 is primarily
due to the addition of engineering personnel and outside consultants working
on the development of new products. As a percentage of total revenues,
research and development expenses declined in the current year, reflecting
increased revenues in fiscal 1996.

Selling and marketing expenses increased 76% to $3,020,980 (17% of
product sales) in the current quarter from $1,711,619 (20% of product sales)
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. For the current six month period,
selling and marketing expenses increased 63% to $5,758,126 (18% of product
sales) from $3,534,468 (19% of product sales) for the first six months of
1995. The increase in selling and marketing expenses in 1996 is primarily due
to an increase in sales personnel and related expenses, marketing and
promotional costs incurred in connection with the introduction of the ACCLAIM
series and increased sales commissions based on the higher sales volume. In
addition, the Company incurred additional costs in connection with its
strategic alliances for the development of new products and the distribution
of products through new sales channels.

General and administrative expenses increased 105% to $1,843,564 (10% of
total revenues) in the current quarter from $900,222 (10% of total revenues)
in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. During the first six months of fiscal
1996, general and administrative expenses increased 59% to $3,250,551 (10% of
total revenues) from $2,039,807 (11% of total revenues) in the first six
months of 1995. The increase in general and administrative expenses in fiscal
1996 were primarily due to increased headcount and other compensation-related
expenditures, and an increase in accounts receivable reserves, which reflects
the increase in accounts receivable.

Litigation expenses incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 and in
fiscal 1995 were in connection with the Company's disputes with Lunar and
Oldelft. Legal expenses in connection with the patent litigation with Lunar
began in October 1994 and represent a substantial portion of the total
litigation expenses. In November 1995, a definitive agreement that provides
for the cross-licensing of certain patent rights and a non-assertion agreement
for all patents involving DXA and ultrasound technologies for a period of ten
years was reached by the Company and Lunar. The complaint brought by Oldelft
against the Company was dismissed in December 1995. In January 1996, Oldelft
filed a motion for reconsideration of the dismissal and amended its complaint.
In April 1996, the Court denied Oldelft its motion for reconsideration of the
dismissal.

Interest Income. Interest income increased to $593,541 in the current
quarter from $166,889 in the same quarter of fiscal 1995 and increased to
$749,245 in the current six month period from $282,571 in the comparable
period in fiscal 1995 as the Company earned a higher rate of return on a
higher investment base than in the prior year. During the quarter, the
Company received proceeds of approximately $49,300,000 from a public sale of
Common Stock which increased the investment base. The Company has invested
these proceeds in investment grade corporate and government securities. In
fiscal 1996, the Company has also increased the number of long-term
receivables to Latin American customers which generates additional interest
income.

Other Expense. In the second quarter and for the first six months of
fiscal 1996, the Company incurred other expenses of $58,169 and $123,763,
respectively. These expenses were slightly less than other expenses incurred
in the comparable periods of fiscal 1995 and were primarily attributable to
the interest costs on the line of credit established by the Company in the
third quarter of fiscal 1994 and, to a lesser extent, foreign currency
exchange losses arising from the Company's U.S. dollar denominated sales
transactions to its European subsidiaries. The Company's European
subsidiaries utilize the line of credit to borrow funds in their local
currencies to pay for all intercompany sales, thereby reducing the foreign
currency exposure on those transactions. To the extent that foreign currency
exchange rates fluctuate in the future, the Company may be exposed to
continued financial risk. Although the Company has established a borrowing
line denominated in the two foreign currencies (the French Franc and the
Belgian Franc) in which the subsidiaries currently conduct business to
minimize this risk, there can be no assurance that the Company will be
successful or can fully hedge its foreign currency exposure.

Provision for Income Taxes. The Company's effective tax rate for the
first six months of fiscal 1996 is 28.4%. The Company's effective tax rate is
lower than the statutory tax rates due primarily to the utilization of tax
credits, the utilization of net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions and
tax benefits associated with the Company's foreign sales corporation. The
Company's effective tax rate may increase for the remainder of fiscal 1996
depending on the mix of U.S. versus international income and the availability
of tax credits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded its operations primarily through cash flows from
operations and the issuance of securities.

At March 30, 1996, the Company's working capital was $74,559,246. At
such date, the Company had $62,016,180 in cash, cash equivalents and short-
term investments. The cash, cash equivalents and investments balance
increased approximately $52,076,000 from September 30, 1995 primarily due to
the net proceeds of approximately $49,300,000 from the public offering of
common stock in the second quarter. In addition, the cash and investments
balance increased approximately $2,776,000 primarily due to the proceeds and
tax benefits from the exercise of stock options and an increase in the
Company's current liabilities, which were partially offset by an increase in
accounts receivable. The increase in current liabilities and accounts
receivable reflects the Company's introduction of its new ACCLAIM family of
bone densitometers and the increase in sales activity. At March 30, 1996, one
customer had accounts receivable outstanding of approximately $3,355,000,
which were current within their payment terms. The Company finances certain
sales to Latin America over a two to three year time frame. At March 30,
1996, the Company had long-term accounts receivable outstanding of
approximately $942,000 relating to these sales, which were included in other
assets. In the first six months of fiscal 1996, the Company purchased
approximately $686,000 of property and equipment, primarily computers and
other equipment associated with the hiring of additional personnel.

The Company does not currently have any significant capital commitments
and believes that existing sources of liquidity, including the net proceeds of
the offering, funds expected to be generated from operations and a $3.0
million credit line for use by its European subsidiaries, will provide
adequate cash to fund the Company's anticipated working capital and other cash
needs for the foreseeable future.
