ECHOCATH, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
- - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 Form
10-KSB (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 November 30, 1995 and 1996 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 :
Inventories are summarized as follows:
                           November 30, 1996
Raw Materials                            78,039
Finished Goods                          119,605
                                        -------
                                        197,644
                                        -------
NOTE D :
The Shareholders Advance of $101,899 was paid in full as of December 9, 1996.

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.

NOTE F: SUBSEQUENT EVENT
As of December 30, 1996 the Company announced that it entered into an agreement
with Medtronic, Inc. for the licensing of EchoMark'r' and ColorMark'r'
proprietary technologies for certain medical procedures. Under the agreement the
Company will receive a series of payments totaling $950,000 after the completion
of certain milestones. When commercially available the Company will receive
royalties under the terms of the agreement which are capped at $20 million
dollars.

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

GENERAL
Certain statements in this Report under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and results of Operations" constitute
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, including, without limitation, statements regarding future
cash requirements. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results,
performance, or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to be
materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements
expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors include,
among others, the following: delays in product development; problems or delays
with clinical trials; failure to receive or delays in receiving regulatory
approval; lack of enforceability of patents and proprietary rights; lack of
reimbursement; general economic and business conditions; industry capacity;
industry trends; demographic changes; competition; material costs and
availability; the loss of any significant customers; changes in business
strategy or development plans; quality of management; availability, terms and
deployment of capital; business abilities and judgment of personnel;
availability of qualified personnel; changes in, or the failure to comply with,
government regulations; and other factors referenced in this Report.

RESULTS OF OPERATION
Three Months Ended November 30, 1996 and 1995

The Company had sales of $12,580 for the quarter ending November 30, 1996 and
no product sales revenue for the quarter ending November 30, 1995.

The Company had cost of sales of $4,303 which represents 34% of sales for the
quarter ending November 30, 1996 and no cost of sales for the quarter ending
November 30, 1995.

Research and Development expenses increased 118% during the three months ending
November 30, 1996 because of the establishment of the Medical Advisors Board,
the addition of new personnel and additional materials purchased. The quarter
ending November 30, 1995 was the last quarter before the Initial Public Offering
and the Company did not have the resources to match the current level of
expenditure.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased 74% during the three
months ending November 30, 1996 because of the additional costs of a consultant,
and an increase in insurance expense because of the addition of Directors and
Officers Insurance Coverage, marketing meetings and exhibits, and the addition
of an investor relations firm.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company anticipates that its current cash, together with revenues expected
to be derived from sales of certain of its products, should be sufficient to
fund research, development, testing, regulatory requirements, operating and
other capital needs through December 1997. The Company also believes that
additional cash resources should be available either through financing provided
by the completion of license agreements and strategic alliances or, if
necessary, by reducing the level of its operating expenses by deferring certain
research and development or marketing expenses. There can be no assurances that
the Company will be able to complete the aforementioned license agreements and
strategic alliances on acceptable terms. Following December 31, 1997, the
Company may well need substantial additional financing in order to continue
development of and commercialize certain of its proposed products and other
potential products. The Company has no binding commitments from any third
parties to provide funds to the Company.

There can be no assurances that the Company will be able to obtain financing
from any other sources on acceptable terms.

PART II:       OTHER INFORMATION

Item 6:        Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
               There were no reports on form 8-K filed during the quarter
               ended November 30,
1996.
