ITEM 2.              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     OVERVIEW

     Since its inception in January 1990, Physiometrix has been engaged 
primarily in the design and development and more recently the manufacture and 
sale of noninvasive, advanced medical products.  The Company's products which 
incorporate proprietary materials and electronics technology are used in 
neurological monitoring applications.  The Company's initial products are its 
e-Net headpiece and disposable HydroDot biosensors and custom electronics, 
which are packaged as the HydroDot NeuroMonitoring System.  The Company is 
also developing two additional neurological monitoring products, the Equinox 
EEG System and the Patient State Analyzer.  The Company believes that the 
Patient State Analyzer, Equinox EEG System and other potential products 
currently under development will be subject to FDA clearance by 510(k) 
notification; however the FDA may require the Company to submit a pre-market 
approval ("PMA") application for such products.  The Company submitted a 
510(k) application to the FDA for the Equinox EEG System in June, 1996. 
Review of the Company's 510(K) application for the Equinox EEG System is 
ongoing and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain 
510(K) clearance to market the Equinox EEG System on a timely basis, if at 
all.  There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain 
necessary 510(k) clearance or PMA application approval, to market the Patient 
State Analyzer or any other products on a timely basis, if at all.

     Physiometrix has a limited history of operations and has experienced
significant operating losses since its inception.  As of September 30, 1996, the
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $12.1 million.  The HydroDot
NeuroMonitoring System is currently the Company's principal commercial product
and is expected to account for most of the Company's revenue through 1997. To 
date, revenue from sales of the Company's HydroDot NeuroMonitoring System 
have been lower than management's expectations. The inability by the Company 
to achieve greater market acceptance of the HydroDot NeuroMonitoring System 
could have a short-term, material adverse effect on the Company's business, 
financial condition and results of operations, particularly prior to the 
introduction of other products currently being developed by the Company.

     The Company anticipates that its operating losses will continue for at
least the next few years as the Company continues to expend substantial
resources to expand marketing and sales activities, scale up manufacturing
capabilities, increase research and development and support regulatory and
reimbursement approvals.  There can be no assurance that the Company will ever
achieve significant commercial revenues or profitability or that profitability,
if achieved, will be sustained.

     The Company anticipates that its results of operations will fluctuate on a
quarterly basis for the foreseeable future due to several factors, including
actions relating to regulatory and reimbursement matters, the extent to which
the Company's products gain market acceptance, introduction of alternative means
for neurophysiological monitoring and competition.  Results of operations will
also be affected by the progress of clinical trials and in-house development
activities, and the extent to which the Company establishes distribution
channels for its products domestically and internationally.

     This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations contains certain forward looking statements.  The
Company's actual results of

                                        7

<PAGE>

operations may differ materially from those anticipated by such forward looking
statements.   Factors that may affect future results of operations include those
described herein.


THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1996

     REVENUES

     Revenues increased 38% to $94,094 for the three months ended September 30,
1996 from $67,998 for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase
is primarily the result of additional sales of the Company's HydroDot
NeuroMonitoring System.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD

     Cost of goods sold increased 40% to $312,283 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996 from $222,518 for the three months ended September 30, 
1995. This increase was primarily due to a higher sales volume and increased 
personnel costs.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 11% to $448,628 
for the three months ended September 30, 1996 from $405,091 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase is primarily due to investor 
relations costs incurred in 1996. Also contributing to this increase were 
additional costs for marketing personnel.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

     Research and development expenses consisting principally of salaries,
consulting fees and clinical trial expenses increased 459% to $386,742 for the
three months ended September 30, 1996 from $69,198 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995.  This increase is primarily the result of ongoing
development and clinical evaluation for the Company's Patient State Analyzer,
development of the Equinox low cost EEG System and continued enhancements to and
support for the Company's existing products.

     INTEREST INCOME

     Interest income increased $276,510 to $290,632 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $14,122 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 as
a result of higher cash balances from the Company's initial public offering.
Interest expense increased $12,547 to $21,405 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 from $8,858 for the three months ended September 30, 1995.
This increase is the result of borrowings in 1996 under a revolving line of
credit.

                                        8

<PAGE>


NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1996

     REVENUES

     Revenues increased 49% to $309,051 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 from $206,837 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This growth
was the result of sales of the Company's NeuroLink product in 1996, combined
with an increase in the sale of the Company's HydroDot NeuroMonitoring System.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD

     Cost of goods sold increased 2% to $900,305 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 from $883,198 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1995. This increase is small when compared with the 49% increase in sales. 
This is the result of a higher sales volume of NeuroLink products along with 
a reduction in overhead costs.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 6% to $1,143,493 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $1,222,526 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease is the result of lower personnel and
facilities costs due to the movement of the Company's operations from California
to Massachusetts in late 1994 and early 1995.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

     Research and development expenses consisting principally of salaries,
consulting fees and clinical trial expenses increased 223% to $803,222 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $248,508 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  This increase is primarily the result of ongoing
development and clinical evaluation for the Company's Patient State Analyzer,
development of the Equinox low cost EEG System and continued enhancements to and
support for the Company's existing products.

     INTEREST INCOME

     Interest income increased $392,618 to $462,153 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 from $69,535 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
This increase is the result of higher cash balances from the Company's initial
public offering.  Interest expense increased $40,579 to $69,355 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from $28,776 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995.  This increase is the result of additional notes payable and
borrowings under a revolving line of credit.

                                        9

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At September 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were 
$18,565,290 as compared to $432,126 at December 31, 1995.

     The Company's operating activities used cash of $1,836,334 in the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $2,184,816 in the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995. The decrease in net cash used was primarily the 
result of an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

     The Company's financing activities provided cash of $20,619,944 in the 
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to $60,022 used in the 
nine months ended September 30, 1995. This increase was the result of the 
Company receiving $19,778,053 from the initial public offering of shares of 
its Common Stock in May 1996 and $500,000 under its revolving credit 
agreement.

     Although the Company believes that its capital resources together with 
cash generated from the future sale of its products will be sufficient to 
meet the Company's operating and capital requirements at least through 1997, 
there can be no assurance that the Company will not require additional 
financing within this time frame.  There can be no assurance that additional 
financing,  if required, will be available on satisfactory terms if at all.  
In addition, the Company may in the future seek to raise additional funds 
through bank facilities, debt or equity offerings or other sources of 
capital.  The Company's future liquidity and capital requirements will depend 
on numerous factors, including progress of the Company's clinical trials, 
actions relating to regulatory and reimbursement matters, the costs and 
timing of expansion of marketing, sales, manufacturing and product 
development activities, the extent to which the Company's products gain 
market acceptance, and competitive developments.
