NOTE A:  GENERAL AND BUSINESS
_____________________________

The summary  financial  statements  included herein have been prepared,  without
audit,  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures  normally included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles   have  been  condensed  or  omitted   pursuant  to  such  rules  and
regulations,  although EchoCath,  Inc.  management believes that the disclosures
are adequate to make the information  presented not misleading.  It is suggested
that  these  summary  financial  statements  be read  in  conjunction  with  the
financial  statements  and  the  notes  thereto  included  in  EchoCath,  Inc.'s
Registration Statement on Form SB-2 (Reg. No. 33-97688).

In the  opinion of  Management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  solely of normal
recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to present  fairly the  financial  position,
results of operation and cash flows at May 31, 1995 and 1996 and for all periods
presented have been made.

NOTE B:
_______

In January 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering consisting of
1,400,000 units. A unit consists of one share of Class A Common Stock, one Class
A Redeemable Warrant,  and one Class B Redeemable Warrant. The proceeds from the
offering before expenses were $7,000,000.

In February  1996,  the  over-allotment  option to purchase  210,000  units,  as
described  above,  was  exercised  by  the  underwriter  and  this  resulted  in
additional proceeds of $1,050,000 before expenses.

NOTE C :
________

In January  1996,  the Company  entered  into an agreement  to  repurchase,  for
$575,000,  certain  technology  rights.  Of such amount,  $500,000 was paid from
proceeds of the initial  public  offering and $75,000 was reflected as a capital
contribution. The Company recognized a $575,000 charge to operations relating to
this agreement to repurchase.

________

Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                     =======

NOTE E :
________

On July 7, 1995,  the Company  entered into an agreement to amend its previously
existing  agreement with  Alliance.  In accordance  with the new agreement,  the
partners of Alliance and certain other entities and individuals  became entitled
to receive a 35% equity  interest  in the  Company in  exchange  for  Alliance's
repayment  of  the  Company's  $750,000  of  outstanding  borrowings  under  the
Company's  bank demand note payable,  which was paid in full in August 1995. The
payment  of  such  indebtedness  is to be  treated  as a  capital  contribution;
however,  if a portion of the Class B warrants to be issued in  connection  with
the initial public  offering are  subsequently  exercised  providing the Company
with  $23,040,000 in proceeds,  then $750,000 of such proceeds will be repaid to
Alliance.  Accordingly,  the  $750,000  received  from  Alliance is reflected as
"Capital contribution subject to repayment" in the accompanying balance sheet.



ITEM 2:     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

RESULTS OF OPERATION
____________________

Nine Months Ended May 31, 1995 and 1996

Product  Sales : The  Company had no product  sales  revenue for the nine months
ending May 31, 1996 and 1995,  but the Company did recognize  revenue of $38,449
in third  quarter  of fiscal  1996 from a phase 1 SBIR  grant  that the  Company
anticipates will generate total revenue of $98,000 by September 30, 1996.

Cost of  Sales : The  Company  determined  that it may  not  have  obtained  all
necessary  vendor  documentation  on  approximately  24% of its inventory.  As a
result,  $38,881 was charged to operations.  Expenses related to SBIR grant were
$38,449.  The  balance  of the cost of sales of $5,138  was  inventory  that was
classified as demonstration inventory during the quarter.

Research and  Development : R & D expenses  increased 26% during the nine months
because of the  establishment of the Medical Advisors Board, the addition of new
personnel in the third quarter,  additional  materials  purchased as a result of
post Initial Public Offering increase in activity,  and building operating costs
were higher as a result of the severe  winter.  R & D expense also  included the
repurchase  of certain  technology  rights for  $575,000  that is  recorded in a
separate  line in the  Statement  of  Operations  as of May 31,  1996  without a
comparable expense for May 31, 1995.

Selling,  General and Administrative  Expenses : S, G & A expenses increased 73%
during  the nine  months  because of a  significant  increase  in legal  expense
relating to various  corporate  matters,  the addition of the Co-Chairman of the
Board of Directors, and an increase in insurance expense because of the addition
of Directors and Officers Insurance Coverage.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
_______________________________

As a result  of its  initial  public  offering,  the  company  had cash and cash
equivalents  of  $3,014,122  as of May 31, 1996.  The Company  believes that its
existing  capital  resources  will enable it to maintain its current and planned
operation for at least 12 months from the date of this report.
