with the financial statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this
quarterly report on Form 10-QSB. Certain statements made in this discussion are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by
terminology such as "may", "will", "should", "expects", "intends",
"anticipates", "believes", "estimates", "predicts", or "continue" or the
negative of these terms or other comparable terminology and include, without
limitation, statements below regarding: the Company's intended business plans;
expectations as to product performance; intentions to acquire or develop other
technologies; and belief as to the sufficiency of cash reserves. Because
forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important
factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
SPO Medical Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "SPO" or the "Company") was
originally organized under the laws of the State of Delaware in September 1981
under the name "Applied DNA Systems, Inc." On November 16, 1994, the Company
changed its name to "Nu-Tech Bio-Med, Inc." On December 23, 1998, the Company
changed its name to "United Diagnostic, Inc.". Effective April 21, 2005, the
Company acquired (the "Acquisition Transaction") 100% of the outstanding capital
stock of SPO Medical Equipment Ltd., a company incorporated under the laws of
the State of Israel ("SPO Ltd."), pursuant to a Capital Stock Exchange Agreement
dated as of February 28, 2005 among the Company, SPO Ltd. and the shareholders
of SPO Ltd., as amended and restated on April 21, 2005 (the "Exchange
Agreement"). In exchange for the outstanding capital stock of SPO Ltd., the
Company issued to the former shareholders of SPO Ltd. a total of 5,769,106
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
Stock"), representing approximately 90% of the Common Stock then issued and
outstanding after giving effect to the Acquisition Transaction. As a result of
the Acquisition Transaction, SPO Ltd. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company as of April 21, 2005 and, subsequent to the Acquisition Transaction, the
Company changed its name to "SPO Medical Inc." Upon consummation of the
Acquisition Transaction, the Company effectuated a forward subdivision of the
Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding on a 2.65285:1 basis.
The accompanying financial statements included in this report for the
periods prior to the Acquisition Transaction are the financial statements of SPO
Ltd. The Company and its subsidiary, SPO Ltd., are collectively referred to as
the "Company". The condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared on the basis that the Company is a development stage company.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and
the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These
financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
adjustments and accruals, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for
a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company as of September 30,
2005 and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods
indicated in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applicable
to interim periods. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.
Operating results for the nine and three months ended September 30, 2005, are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2005.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial
statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going
concern. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005, the
Company incurred net losses of $286,197 and $1,057,751, respectively, and as of
September 30, 2005 had a working capital deficiency of approximately $109,077.
The company also had as of September 30, 2005 a shareholders deficiency of
$1,753,402. In addition, management believes that the Company will continue to
incur net losses and cash outflows from operating activities through at least
fiscal 2006. The Company's ability to continue operating as a going concern is
substantially dependent on its ability to generate operating cash flow through
the execution of its business plan or secure funding sufficient to provide for
the working capital needs of its business. The financial statements do not
include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of
recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. There can be no
assurance that management will be successful in implementing its business plan
or that the successful implementation of such business plan will actually
improve the Company's operating results. During the nine months ended June 30,
2005, the Company raised approximately $1,536,305 in net proceeds from the sale
of debt securities.

NOTE 2: - STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure,"
which amended SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS
123"), the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method
in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements, as defined
by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and related interpretations including Financial
Accounting Standards Board Interpretations No. 44, "Accounting for Certain
Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," an interpretation of APB No. 25.
Under SFAS No. 123, the Company is required to disclose pro forma
information regarding net loss and loss per share determined as if the Company
had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that
statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant
using a Black-Scholes Option Valuation model with the following weighted-average
assumptions for the nine months ended September 30, 2005: weighted-risk-free
interest rate of 3.62% for each the period ended September 30, 2005, with
dividend yields of 0% for the period, volatility factors of the expected market
price of the Company's Common Stock of 1.82 and weighted-average expected life
of the options of 2 years. Stock compensation, for pro forma purposes, is
amortized over the vesting period.
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and loss per
share as if the fair value method had been applied to all outstanding and
unvested awards in each period:

Private Placement
In order to facilitate the Acquisition Transaction and to raise working
capital, on April 21, 2005 the Company commenced a private placement (the "2005
Private Placement") to certain accredited investors to raise up to $1,150,000 by
the sale of units of its securities, with each unit comprised of (i) an 18 month
6% Promissory Note (the "Notes") and (ii) three-year warrants (the "Warrants")
to purchase up to such number of shares of Common Stock of the Company as are
determined by the principal amount of the Note purchased by such investor
divided by $ 0.85, at a per share exercise price of $0.85. As of September 30,
2005, an aggregate of $1,236,305 in principal amount of notes were sold to
accredited investors and, in connection therewith, warrants to purchase up to
approximately 1,454,476 shares of the Company's common stock were issued.
Subsequently, the Company increased to $1,500,000 the maximum amount that can be
raised under the 2005 Private Placement.
The securities were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Notes
(i) In January 2005, the Company issued to each of 10 investors its
convertible promissory notes (collectively the "Notes") in the aggregate
principal amount of $300,000. The Notes, which were amended in December 2005,
bear interest at an annual rate of 8% and are payable on September 30, 2006. At
the election of the holder, the Notes are convertible into the Company's Common
Stock at a per share price (the "Exercise Price") equal to the lesser of (i) 60%
of the per share purchase price of any Company security subsequently sold by the
Company and (ii) $0.705.
In addition, the Company issued to three of the holders of the Notes, as
compensation for the amounts raised from the Notes, warrants, exercisable
through April 21, 2008, to purchase such number of shares of Common Stock as is
determined by dividing $30,000 by the Exercise Price.
(ii) In August 2004 the Company renegotiated with a lender the extension
of the scheduled maturity date of indebtedness in the principal amount of
$140,000 that was originally scheduled to mature on October 12, 2005. The
maturity of $100,000 of the original principal amount of this indebtedness was
extended to March 31, 2006 and, on December 22, 2005, $47,496 of the remaining
principal amount and accrued interest was repaid. In consideration of the
extension of the principal amount of $100,000, the Company paid to the lender a
one time arrangement fee of $19,500 and issued to the holder of the debt a three
year warrant to purchase up to 15,000 shares of Common Stock at a per share
price of $0.75.
(iii) On September 6, 2005 the Company borrowed the principal amount of
$100,000. The principal amount of this loan, plus $10,000 in respect of the
arrangement fees was repaid on January 16, 2006. The Company issued to the
holder of this indebtedness a three year warrant to purchase up to 25,000 shares
of Common Stock at a per share exercise price of $0.75.
NOTE 4: REPAYMENT OF OUTSTANDING DEBT
In April 2004, prior to the consummation of the Acquisition Transaction,
SPO Ltd. issued to each of two entities its one-year promissory note in the
principal amount of $57,500 in consideration of funds loaned to SPO Ltd. to
cover certain of its costs that were incurred prior to its acquisition by the
Company. Interest accrued on the loans at a per annum rate of 10% through
maturity. The notes were not repaid at maturity.
On November 10, 2005, the Company paid $144,149 to the note holders in
full settlement of all obligations under these notes. This amount included
$26,649 in interest, charged by the lenders at the rate 18% retroactive to
November 2004 as required under the default terms of the notes.
NOTE 5: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
The Company increased to $1,500,000 the maximum amount that can be raised
under the 2005 Private Placement referred to in Note 3. As of January 2006, the
Company has raised the entire gross amount of the 2005 Private Placement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS AND PLAN OF OPERATION
THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS AND THE NOTES RELATED TO THOSE STATEMENTS. SOME OF OUR DISCUSSION IS
FORWARD-LOOKING AND INVOLVES RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. FOR INFORMATION REGARDING
RISK FACTORS THAT COULD HAVE A MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT ON OUR BUSINESS, REFER TO
THE RISK FACTORS SECTION OF THE COMPANY'S CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K FILED WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON APRIL 27, 2005, AS AMENDED ON NOVEMBER
9, 2005.
OVERVIEW
SPO Medical Inc. is engaged in the design, development and marketing of
non-invasive pulse oximetry technologies to monitor blood oxygen saturation and
heart rate for a variety of markets, including medical, homecare, sports and
search & rescue. Pulse oximetry is a non-invasive process used to measure blood
oxygen saturation levels and is an established procedure in medical practice.
We utilize proprietary and patented technologies to deliver oximetry
functionality through innovative commercial products that address such
applications as emergency care, , home monitoring, sleep apnea, cardiovascular
performance, cardiac rehabilitation and the physiological monitoring of military
personnel and safety care workers. We have developed and patented proprietary
technology that enables the use of pulse oximetry in a reflectance mode of
operation (i.e. a sensor that can be affixed to a single side of a body part).
This technique is known as Reflectance Pulse Oximetry (RPO). Using RPO, a sensor
can be positioned on various body parts, hence minimizing problems of motion and
poor profusion. The unique design features contribute to substantially lower
electric power requirements and enable a wireless, stand-alone configuration
with expanded commercial possibilities.
There are two methods to measure pulse oximetry by transmission through a
body part or by reflection. In general, the transmission method can only be used
on certain areas of the body, such as fingers, earlobes, etc. Furthermore, in
some instances when the transmission method is used, physiological conditions
such as stress and temperature can adversely affect the accuracy of pulse
oximetry readings.
Since pulse oximetry measurements taken on-site in an emergency, at local
medical practices, and/or in home care can save lives and curtail intervention
costs, mobile units have been developed. However, mobile oximetry units have not
been widely adopted because their power requirements (and hence limited battery
life) often make them impractical. In addition, existing mobile units require
patients to remain absolutely stationary to produce reliable results, further
reducing their practicality.
Responding to the need for life-saving information in the field where
people cannot be absolutely stationary, SPO Ltd. developed patented sensors that
work accurately during mild physical activity. This technique uses a reflectance
method (known as RPO) whereby a very small sensor placed on the body at various
locations has the ability to measure oxygen saturation and heart pulse rate. SPO
Ltd. has incorporated its patented reflectance technology into portable devices
for medical and consumer applications. Moreover, these devices operate at a
power requirement approximately 1/50th of that compared to other commercially
available portable systems. This puts pulse oximetry into the hands medical
practitioners and emergency personnel on-site for the safety and benefit of all
and offers the opportunity to create new commercial and consumer applications.

Products
The following are the products of the Company utilizing its unique pulse
oximetry technology.
PulseOx 5500TM -- a stand-alone commercial RPO spot check monitor for SpO2
and heart rate. The PulseOx 5500TM uses SPO patented technology to provide a
medical device which is easier to use for many patients and less expensive to
operate than any other device available. Its main advantages include: (i) long
lasting battery with more than 1,000 hours, using only a fraction of the power
used by competitive devices and (ii) resistance to many forms of motion,
reducing its susceptibility to the motion artifacts which are typical of other
pulse oximetry devices. The PulseOx 5500 was first introduced commercially
during the fourth quarter of 2004. The device was approved and registered by the
Federal Drug Administration (" FDA") in June 2004. The device also carries the
CE (European Directives 93/42/EEC and 90/385/EEC for regulatory and safety
standards of medical equipment) and Canadian Standards Association (CSA) mark
for safety and audited manufacturing processes, all of which were obtained in
February 2005.
Check MateTM--- addresses the sports and aviation markets' demand for a
lightweight, inexpensive monitor for measuring SpO2 and heart rate during
physically active and high-altitude activities. It offers the user a greater
ability to monitor these vital signs under motion and is less expensive than
most other available devices. The Check Mate was first introduced commercially
during third quarter of 2005. The Check Mate does not require FDA approval or
registration. It carries the CE and CSA mark for safety and audited
manufacturing processes.
Products Under Design and Development
The Company currently has in various stages of development other devices
utilizing its oximetry technology. These include the following:
PulseOx 7500TM --a monitor for extended monitoring of SpO2 and heart rate
by means of RPO. It is being designed for maximum user comfort and ease-of-use.
It uniquely places the sensor at the base of the finger so it operates as a ring
sensor which is more comfortable for the user.
PedOMetrixTM -- a monitor being designed specifically for the use with
infants. This unique monitor is being designed for continual non-invasive
monitoring of a baby's SpO2 and heart rate.
Corporate History
SPO Medical Inc. was originally organized under the laws of the State of

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of
operations are based upon our unaudited consolidated financial statements, which
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates,
including those related to revenue recognition, bad debts, investments,
intangible assets and income taxes. Our estimates are based on historical
experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable
under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
We have identified the accounting policies below as critical to our
business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.
Revenue Recognition. Revenues from product sales are recognized when
delivery has occurred, persuasive evidence of an agreement exists, the vendor's
fee is fixed or determinable, no further obligation exists and collection is
probable. Delivery is considered to have occurred upon delivery of products to
the reseller.
Inventory Valuation. Inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market
value determined on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Costs include
materials, direct and indirect labor and overhead.
Other Accrued Expenses. We also maintain other accrued expenses. These
accruals are based on a variety of factors including past experience and various
actuarial assumptions and, in many cases, require estimates of events not yet
reported to us. If future experience differs from these estimates, operating
results in future periods would be impacted.
The discussion of financial results for the periods prior to the
Acquisition Transaction refer to the financial results of SPO Ltd.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND THE
THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004
Revenues. Revenues are currently derived primarily from sales of our
PulseOX 5500 TM designed for the medical and homecare markets. Revenues for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $481,809 and $1,223,590,
respectively. Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004
were $20,450; revenues in 2004 were first generated in the third quarter
primarily from sales of our PulseOX 5500 product.
Costs of Revenues. Costs of revenues for the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2005 were $192,498 and $498,681, respectively. Cost of
revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were $9,163.
Cost of revenues include all costs related to manufacturing and selling products
and services and consist primarily of direct material costs and salaries and
related expenses for personnel.
9
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
consist primarily of expenses incurred in the design, development and testing of
our products. These expenses consist primarily of salaries and related expenses
for personnel, contract design and testing services, supplies used and
consulting and license fees paid to third parties and are net of any government
grants and development fees charged to third parties. Research and development
expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $140,089
and $428,117, respectively, compared to $58,512 and $53,085 during the
corresponding periods in 2004. The increase in research and development expenses
during the 2005 periods as compared to the 2004 periods is primarily
attributable to the increase in employee and related compensation costs.
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Selling and marketing expenses consist
primarily of costs relating to compensation attributable to employees engaged in
sales and marketing activities, promotion, sales support, travel and related
expenses. Selling and marketing expenses for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005 were $140,804 and $376,716, respectively, compared to $58,635
and $76,715 for the corresponding periods in 2004. The increase in sales and
marketing costs during the 2005 period as compared to the 2004 periods is
primarily attributable to the increased sales costs incurred in connection with
the distribution of our PulseOX 5500 product.
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
primarily consist of salaries and other related costs for personnel in executive
and other administrative functions. Other significant costs include professional
fees for legal, accounting services. General and administrative expenses for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $210,508 and $544,624
compared to $59,655 and $160,611 for the corresponding periods in 2004. The
increase in general and administrative expenses during the 2005 periods as
compared to the 2004 periods is primarily attributable to higher compensation
costs and higher accounting and legal and professional expenses.
FINANCIAL EXPENSES, NET. Financial expense net, for the three months and
nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $84,107 and $182,673 respectively,
compared to $48,778 and $186,478 for the corresponding periods in 2004. The
amounts recorded during the 2004 periods include a one time charge for
beneficial conversion of $115,000 resulting from the accounting treatment
accorded to certain loans that were incurred prior to the Acquisition
Transaction and that we repaid in November 2005.
Net Loss. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2005 we
had a net loss of $286,197 and $1,057,751, respectively, compared with a net
loss during the corresponding periods in 2004 of $259,455 and $540,955,
respectively.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At September 30, 2005, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately
$645,921, compared to $52,324 at September 30, 2004.
We generated negative cash flow from operating activities of approximately
$255,098 during the three months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $230,061
for the three months ended September 30, 2004. We generated negative cash flow
from operating activities of approximately $957,401 in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 compared to $309,182 for the nine months ended September 30,
2004.
10
From inception, we have financed our operations primarily from the sale of
our securities. Our recent financings are discussed below.
In January 2005, we raised an aggregate of $300,000 from the issuance of
one-year convertible notes. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 8% and
are convertible into shares of our Common Stock upon certain specified
conditions.
In April 2005, we commenced a private placement (the "2005 Private
Placement") to certain accredited investors of up to $1,150,000 by the sale of
units of our securities, with each unit comprised of (i) its 18 month 6%
Promissory Note and (ii) three year warrants to purchase up to such number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company as are determined by the principal amount
of the Note purchased by such investor divided by $ 0.85, in each case at a per
share exercise price of $0.85. We subsequently increased to $1,500,000 the
amount that can be raised under the 2005 Private Placement. As of January 2006,
we raised the maximum amount of the 2005 Private Placement.
In September 2005 the Company borrowed the principal amount of $100,000.
The principal amount of this loan, plus $10,000 in arrangement fees was repaid
on January 16, 2006.
We need to raise additional funds to be able to sati sfy our cash
requirements over the next twelve months. Product development, corporate
operations and marketing expenses will continue to require additional capital.
Our current revenue from operations is insufficient to cover our current
operating expenses and projected expansion plans. We therefore are aggressively
seeking additional financing through the sale of our equity and/or debt
securities to satisfy future capital requirements until such time as we are able
to generate sufficient cash flow from revenues to finance on-going operations.
No assurance can be provided that additional capital will be available to us on
commercially acceptable or at all. Our auditors included a "going concern"
qualification in their auditors' report for the year ended December 31, 2005.
While we have raised approximately $1.5 million in gross proceeds from the sale
of our debt securities between April 2005 and January 2006, such "going concern"
qualification may make it more difficult for us to raise funds when needed.
Additional equity financings may be dilutive to holders of our Common Stock.
ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. We maintain disclosure
controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to
be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and
that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to
allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based closely on the
definition of "disclosure controls and procedures" in Rule 13a-14(c).
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an
evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were
effective.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. During the quarter
ended September 30, 2005, there have been no changes in our internal controls
over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely
to materially affect, these controls.

Stock, at a per share exercise price of $0.85 for gross cash proceeds of
