                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.       Basis of Presentation

              The accompanying unaudited financial statements for the three
         month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 include
         all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the
         Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the operating
         results and cash flows for those periods.

              Certain information and footnote disclosures required by generally
         accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements have
         been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
         and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), although the Company believes that the
         disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not
         misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
         1995.

              Results for the interim periods ended September 30, 1996 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results expected for future interim
         periods or for the entire year ending December 31, 1996.


2.       Net Loss Per Share

              Except as noted below, historical net loss per share for the three
         month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 is
         computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock
         outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options and warrants
         are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive,
         except that, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff
         Accounting Bulletins, common and common equivalent shares issued at
         prices substantially below the public offering price during the
         12-month period prior to the initial public offering have been included
         in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods through
         the effective date of the Company's initial public offering, November
         3, 1995 (using the treasury stock method). The historical net loss per
         share for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,
         1995 is calculated below.

         operations for the three month and nine month periods ended September
         30, 1995, has been computed as described above and also gives effect to

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

     The discussion in this Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ
materially from those discussed herein. Factors that could cause or contribute
to such differences include, but are not limited to, clinical and payor
acceptance of the Company's products, the impact of competitive products and
other risks detailed from time to time in the Company's SEC reports, including
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995
and the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 as declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 1995 (Reg. No. 33-96690).

GENERAL

     Cardiometrics, Inc. (Cardiometrics or the Company) develops, manufactures
and markets intravascular medical devices that measure the severity of blood
flow impairment caused by coronary artery blockages and other blood vessel
disease. The Company is pioneering the development of a new market in
interventional cardiology, on-line functional testing during diagnostic and
therapeutic cardiac catheterization procedures. The Company's primary product,
the FloWire(R) Doppler guide wire, is a unique and proprietary tool that is used
instead of conventional guide wires in conjunction with coronary angiography and
angioplasty to measure blood flow impairment. Understanding the functional
significance of blockages by using the FloWire, in addition to the anatomical
view of the diseased blood vessel, provides a more accurate diagnosis, and
treatment is more appropriately selected, enhancing the likelihood of better
clinical outcomes. The FloWire, a single use disposable device, works with the
FloMap(R) ultrasound instrument, which interprets and displays the signals from
the FloWire. The FloMap has been installed in over 400 cardiac catherization
laboratories throughout the world and more than 58,000 FloWire devices have been
sold to date.

     The Company has not been profitable since inception and, as of September
30, 1996, had an accumulated deficit of $33.5 million, $23.5 million of which
has been incurred since the Company restructured its operations under new
management in 1990 to focus on the development and commercialization of the
FloWire/FloMap system. Further growth in sales of the Company's products and the
resulting gross profit will be needed to offset future investments in research
and development, clinical outcome studies and selling, general and
administrative expenses.

     The following table summarizes results of operations of the Company as a

         Sales. Sales increased 20% during the three months ended September 30,
1996 over the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $3,325,000 from
$2,774,000. Sales increased 32% during the nine months ended September 30, 1996
compared to the same nine month period of 1995 to $10,028,000 from $7,599,000.
Sales for both the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1996
increased over the corresponding periods of 1995 primarily as a result of an
increase in sales of FloWire units, mainly concentrated in the Japanese market,
and to a lesser extent, an increase in FloMap instrument unit sales. These
increases were partially offset by a decrease in sales of AccuTrac units during
the three month period ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the similar
period in 1995.


         Cost of sales. Cost of sales increased less than one percent during the
three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to $1,189,000 from $1,182,000. Cost of sales increased 19%
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to the same nine month
period of 1995 to $3,855,000 from $3,227,000. As a percentage of sales, cost of
sales decreased to 36% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
43% in the same three month period of 1995 and to 38% for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996 compared to 42% for the nine month period ended
September 30, 1995. These decreases were primarily the result of lower per unit
FloWire manufacturing costs. These cost reductions were achieved primarily
through lower manufacturing overhead cost per unit due to increased volumes and
manufacturing efficiencies.


         Research and development. Research and development expenses increased
105% during the three months ended September 30, 1996 over the three month
period ended September 30, 1995 to $1,017,000 from $496,000. Research and
development expenses increased 47% during the nine month period ended September
30, 1996 over the similar period of 1995 to $2,437,000 from $1,658,000. As a
percentage of sales, research and development expenses increased to 31% in the
third quarter of 1996 from 18% in the same quarter of 1995. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, research and development expenses as a percentage of
sales increased to 24% as compared to 22% during the similar nine month period
of 1995. These increases for both the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1996 over the similar periods of 1995 were primarily due to
increased costs incurred in connection with clinical studies commenced in 1996,
which the Company includes in research and development expenses. The
expenditures on clinical studies included both on-going studies and studies
initiated during the first nine months of 1996.


         Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 22% during the three months ended September
30, 1996 over the three months ended September 30 ,1995 to $2,220,000 from
$1,823,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 31% during
the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 over the similar period of 1995
to $6,109,000 from $4,669,000. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a
percentage of sales increased slightly during the third quarter of 1996 to 67%
compared to 66% during the third quarter of 1995. Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of sales remained at 61% during the nine
month period ended September 30, 1996 when compared with the similar period of
1995. The dollar increases in selling, general and administrative expenses
reflect increased staffing and associated expenses, additional sales and
marketing programs, external corporate reporting expenses and expenses
associated with increased sales volumes.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


         At September 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $22,423,000
and its principal sources of liquidity consisted of $18,451,000 in cash, cash
equivalents and short term investments.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company's cash used
in operations was $1,842,000. Inventories increased to $2,471,000 at September
30, 1996 compared to $1,758,000 at December 31, 1995 primarily due to an
increase in raw materials. Accounts receivable, including accounts receivable
from related parties, decreased to $3,023,000 at September 30, 1996 from
$3,113,000 at December 31, 1995. The Company expects to incur substantial
additional costs, including costs related to sales and marketing, research and
development, including additional clinical outcome studies, the purchase of
capital equipment and costs associated with the expansion of the Company's
manufacturing capacity. The Company believes it has sufficient funds for the
Company's anticipated funding requirements through at least 1997. However, there
can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional financing, or
that if required, such financing will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company.

                                                                               9

Re:      Amendment to Your Employment Agreement

Dear Meno:

         This letter is intended to amend certain terms of your employment
agreement with Cardiometrics, Inc., formerly a California corporation, but
currently a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), which is set forth in that
certain letter, dated as of December 13, 1990, from David Titus to you (the
"Employment Agreement"), as amended by those certain amendment letters, dated
June 26, 1991, November 26, 1991, September 4, 1992, November 1, 1992 and
October 11, 1993 from David Douglass to you, and my amendment letters to you
dated August 31, 1995 and September 1, 1995 (collectively, the "Amendments to
the Employment Agreement"):

                  Paragraph 2 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted and
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                           "2. Commencing February 1, 1996, your salary as
                  President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company will be
                  at a pre-tax rate equal to $13,958.33 per month until
                  otherwise adjusted by the Compensation Committee of the Board
                  of Directors of the Company."

                  Paragraph 5 of the Employment Agreement is hereby deleted and
amended in its entirety to read as follows:

                            "5. As with all other Company employees, employment
                  with the Company is not for a specific term and can be
                  terminated by either you or the Company at any time for any
                  reason, with or without cause. However, in the event the
                  Company terminates your employment without cause (as defined
                  below), you shall be entitled to: (a) salary continuation from
                  the Company for up to twelve (12) months following the date of
                  such termination at the monthly salary rate established as of
                  (i) the date hereof, or (ii) the date upon which your
                  employment is so terminated, whichever is greater; provided,
                  however, that such salary continuation payments shall cease
                  upon your becoming employed on a full-time basis with another
                  employer; and, provided, further, however, that such salary
                  continuation payments shall be made for a period of at least
                  six (6) months from the date of such termination even if you
                  become employed by another employer within six (6) months of
                  such termination; and (b) continue to participate in the
                  Company's benefit plans for up to twelve (12) months following
                  the date of such termination; provided, however, that such
                  continued participation in the Company's benefit plans shall
                  cease upon your becoming employed on a full-time basis with
                  another employer. During any period of salary or benefits
                  continuation and as partial consideration for such
                  continuation, you agree to provide the Company with up to four
                  (4) days of consulting services per month as reasonably
                  assigned to you by the Company. The Company will reimburse you
                  for your reasonable your out-
<PAGE>   2
                  of-pocket expenses in connection with such requested
                  consulting services. Your sole compensation for providing such
                  consulting services shall be the salary and benefits
                  continuation described in this paragraph and, therefore, your
                  failure to provide such services shall result in termination
                  of such salary and benefits continuation notwithstanding any
                  other terms hereof.

                            For purposes of this employment agreement,
                  termination "without cause" shall mean termination for reasons
                  other than:

                            (i) your repeated refusal to comply with reasonable
                  directives of the Board of Directors of the Company, or your
                  gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of
                  duties assigned to you by the Board of Directors, or your
                  intentional conduct materially harmful to the Company's
                  business and affairs, provided that poor achievement of job
                  objective in itself shall not constitute cause for
                  termination;

                            (ii) your violation of any provision of the
                  Company's proprietary information agreement to the extent that
                  has caused material harm to the interests of the Company; or

                           (iii) your conviction of any crime involving moral
                  turpitude, fraud, or any felony."

                   Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all of the
provisions of the Employment Agreement, as amended by the Amendments to the
Employment Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, and the Employment
Agreement, as amended thereby and hereby, is hereby ratified and confirmed in
all respects. This letter, together with the Amendments to the Employment
Agreement and the Employment Agreement, shall be read together as one document,
and such agreements, together with your executed Proprietary Information and
Inventions Agreement shall constitute the full and entire understanding and
agreement between you and the Company with respect to your employment with the
Company.

         If this amendment letter accurately reflects the terms of your
employment with the Company, please sign and return to me the enclosed copy of
this amendment letter.

                                       Sincerely,

                                       CARDIOMETRICS, INC.

Re:               Extension of contract

This document represents an addendum to the Cordis-Cardiometrics Distribution
Agreement, signed April 1, 1995, and extended on April 22, 1996. This
distribution agreement which is now in effect between Cardiometrics, Inc., a
Delaware Corporation and Cordis/Johnson & Johnson Medical NV/SA will be extended
through December 31, 1997 and it will include the possibility of adding **,
effective January 1, 1997 (see below for possible start dates).

This extension requires the delivery of minimum quarterly non-cancelable P.O.'s
by Cordis/Johnson & Johnson to Cardiometrics to maintain exclusive distribution
rights for the "Products" in the "Territories" as agreed to in the distribution
agreement amended by this document. For future years 1998 and beyond, minimum
purchase commitments to maintain exclusive distribution will be negotiated by
September 30th of the preceding year. Following is the agreed to minimum
purchase commitment for 1997 (quarterly minimum non-cancelable P.O. requirements
in units):

Following are requirements for the SmartWire and SmartMap sales to end-users to
