included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally

PART I ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain "forward-looking"
statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995) and information relating to Repro-Med Systems, Inc. that are based
on the beliefs of the management of Repro-Med Systems, Inc. as well as
assumptions made by and information currently available to the management of
Repro-Med Systems, Inc. The Company's actual results may vary materially from
the forward-looking statements made in this report due to important factors such
as: recent operating losses, uncertainties associated with future operating
results; unpredictability related to Food and Drug Administration regulations,
introduction of competitive products, limited liquidity; reimbursement related
risks; government regulation of the home health care industry; success of the
research and development effort, market acceptance of FREEDOM60, availability of
sufficient capital to continue operations and dependence on key personnel. When
used in this report, the words "estimate," "project," "believe," "anticipate,"
"intend," "expect" and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect the current views of
Repro-Med Systems, Inc. with respect to future events based on currently
available information and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could
cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such
forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof.
Repro-Med does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revision to
these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the
date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2000 VS. 1999
- ---------------------------------------------
Sales decreased 17% from $524,445 (1999) to $435,978 (2000) for the
quarter ended November 30 primarily due to a sales promotion which occurred
during the previous quarter 2000, a back order situation created by an outside
company that provides sterilization to us creating unanticipated delays in
shipments, a decrease in a low margin product line which we acquired for resale
and which we are discontinuing, and two of our significant customers delayed
purchases until the next quarter.
Cost of goods decreased 25% as a result of the sales decrease.
Selling, general and administrative expense experienced a minor
decrease of 4% for the three months period versus 1999.
Research and development expenses decreased 78% period to period
reflecting payroll reductions made in the second quarter of fiscal 2000 and the
deferral in the development of our new products.
There was no material change in depreciation and amortization expense
during this period.
Interest expense was reduced 75% as the result of a full payoff of all
bank indebtedness in October 1999.
On August 3, 2000, we signed a national distribution agreement with
Medical Specialties, a large national distributor for the Freedom60 Syringe
Infusion System. Medical Specialties has experienced a change in their sales
management and has not pursued marketing our products. Management is negotiating
a revised agreement, which will modify the current arrangement towards that of a
standard distributor agreement.
On August 28, 2000, we were notified of an Indefinite Delivery,
Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract #RFP-797-FDF3-00-0089 awarded on August 25,
2000 by the AFMLO/VA Services Division. This material contract covers three of
the Company's patented products, Res-Q-Vac Manual Suction System, Freedom60
Syringe Infusion System and Masterson Endometrial Biopsy System which are now
available to all government agencies. We continue in the process of contacting
the various branches of the government that have continued to express interest
in these products.
On September 29, 2000, we were notified that the U. S. Defense
Logistics Information Service in Battle Creek, MI had assigned National Stock
Numbers to our Freedom60 and Res-Q-Vac products and accessories. This now
facilitates orders from any U. S. military agency to be able to acquire our
products from a national military catalog listing.

NINE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 2000 VS. 1999
- --------------------------------------------
Sales increased 6% year-to-date November 2000 versus 1999 primarily
because of increases in Res-Q-Vac sales and assembly of a product booked against
a customer deposit under an OEM contract.
Cost of goods sold was reduced from 62% in 1999 to 53% in 2000. The
higher margins reflect the improved efficiencies in production and purchasing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were 21% lower for the
comparable period as a result of management's continued emphasis on expense and
payroll reductions, which began, in the third quarter of 1999. Research and
Development expenses were 61% lower for the same reasons as well as a deferral
of certain research and development projects due to cash restraints.
Income from operations increased from a loss of $355,546 in 1999 to a
profit of $17,975 in 2000, as a result of both higher sales and profit margins,
and lower expenses.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
During June 2000, we negotiated a $200,000 line of credit with Premier
Bank that is guaranteed by the President and one of the directors. The line of
credit is intended for material purchases for new orders. As of November 30,
2000, $50,000 has been advanced on the line of credit.
During July 2000, we entered into a capital lease agreement with
Plasticweld for a catheter machine and tooling. The lease payments are $1,232
per month for 48 months. The value of the equipment is $44,435.
For the nine months ended 11/30/00, we have operated at neutral cash
flow and have sufficient capital for our ongoing needs based on the anticipated
continued sales growth and maintaining careful control of expenses. We have
demonstrated our ability to control costs and believe we would be able to offset
any unanticipated decreases in revenues with additional reductions in overhead,
materials, and labor. The funds available on November 30, 2000 are expected to
meet cash requirements as planned under current operating conditions at least
for the next 12 months.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- -----------------
On November 5th, 2000, the Health Care Financing Administration (HCFA)
had advised us that after the ninety day review process of our application, the
SADMERC and the four Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carriers DMERCs)
completed the HCPCS coding re-review and advised us that the
8
correct billing code for the Res-Q-Vac was E1399, a durable equipment
miscellaneous reimbursement code. Subsequently, three weeks later HCFA advised
us that it was rescinding the previous correspondence because we didn't prove
the use of Res-Q-Vac in a home setting. We are collecting home care user
testimonials and actively pursuing other actions to have our product become
reimbursable by HCFA.
During the month of November, a consultant to the company improperly
forged checks to himself totaling approximately $6600. Our bank has decided not
to reimburse us for these forgeries. Although we are continuing to attempt to
recover the funds, we have taken it as a charge in the third quarter. We have
reported the theft to the State Police and are considering legal action against
the bank for honoring these checks.
On January 3, we hired a Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Robert
Leichtman. Mr. Leichtman is an experienced salesman, trained by Johnson and
Johnson, has military background, and has spent the last 15 years in home care.
On January 9, Mr. Leichtman signed a Sales Representation Agreement with Martin
Porter who represents 37 product representatives experienced in home care and
hospital sales. He has also introduced our products to Russia and the colonies
of the former Soviet Union.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
- ---------------------------
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
- --------------------------
We have been advised by an attorney for a large competitor that his
client has commenced an action against us seeking declaratory relief and
claiming unfair competition against us. Although the complaint has not yet been
served upon us, we believe the complaint is a defensive measure brought by the
competitor who we previously had advised was engaging in unfair competition
against us by selling a product which copies one of our products.
The Company is neither a party to any other material litigation, nor to
the knowledge of the officers and directors of the Company, is there any other
material litigation threatened against the Company.
