NOTE C - NET LOSS PER SHARE

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Standard No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (FAS 128) which 
simplifies the calculation of earnings or net loss per share and creates a 
standard of comparability to the recently issued International Accounting 
Standard No. 33, "Earnings Per Share." Since early application is not 
permitted, the Company will adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 
1997. The pro forma net loss per share calculation required under FAS 128 is 
not materially different from the primary and fully diluted net loss per 
share calculations presented herein.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion of the financial condition and results of 
operations of Physiometrix, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the 
Financial Statements and related Notes thereto included elsewhere in this 
Form 10-Q.  This Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements within 
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Actual events or results may differ 
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result 
of the factors described herein and other risks detailed from time to time in 
the Company's SEC reports, including its annual report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended December 31, 1996.  Such forward-looking statements include, but 
are not limited to, statements concerning (i) business strategy; (ii) 
products under development; (iii) marketing and distribution; (iv) research 
and development; (v) manufacturing; (vi) competition; (vii) government 
regulation especially as it relates to FDA approvals; (viii) third-party 
reimbursement and (ix) operating and capital requirements.
  
     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 also 
has two additional neurological monitoring products, the Equinox EEG System 
which was commercially introduced in February 1997 and the Patient State 
Analyzer, which was tested in its first phase of clinical trials and was 
submitted to the FDA for 510(k) clearance notification.  The Company believes 
that the Patient State Analyzer, currently in its second phase of clinical 
trials, will be subject to FDA 510(k) clearance notification.  However, the 
FDA may require the Company to submit a premarket approval application 
("PMA") for this product.  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 March 31, 1997, the 
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $14.1 million.  The 
HydroDot NeuroMonitoring System and Equinox are currently the Company's 
principal commercial products and are expected to account for most of the 
Company's revenue through 1997.  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 inhouse development activities, and the 
extent to which the Company establishes distribution channels for its 
products domestically and internationally.  There can be no assurance the 
Company will achieve significant commercial revenues or profitability.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

     REVENUES

     Revenues increased 50% to $203,727 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 from $136,226 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase is
primarily the result of  sales of the Company's Equinox EEG System which was
commercially introduced in February 1997.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD

     Cost of goods sold increased 34% to $394,298 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $295,181 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This
increase was primarily due to a higher sales volume.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 74% to $574,896 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $331,221 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase is primarily due to additional costs for
marketing personnel and advertising costs associated with the Equinox EEG System
introduction this quarter.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

     Research and development expenses consisting principally of salaries,
consulting fees and clinical trial expenses increased 219% to $570,780 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 from $179,115 for the three months ended March
31, 1996.  This increase is primarily the result of ongoing development and
clinical evaluation for the Patient State Analyzer, development and
enhancements to the Equinox low cost EEG System and continued enhancements to
and support for the Company's existing products.

     INTEREST INCOME

     Interest income increased $211,307 to $215,314 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 from $4,007 for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  This was
the result of a higher cash balance from the Company's initial public offering
which occurred on April 30, 1996.  Interest expense increased $11,050 to $18,919
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from $7,869 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  This increase was the result of borrowings in 1997 under a
revolving line of credit.

     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1997, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments were $15,998,427 as compared to $18,146,248 at December 31, 1996. 

     The Company's operating activities used cash of $1,466,206 in the three
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $758,441 in the three months ended
March 31, 1996.  The increase in cash used was the result of an increase in the
net loss combined with a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

     The Company's investing activities provided cash of $1,923,103 for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to cash used of $12,430 for the
three months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase was the result of maturing
securities which were purchased with proceeds from the Company's initial public
offering.

     The Company's financing activities used cash of $573,707 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $601,127 of cash provided in the 
three months ended March 31, 1996.  This decrease was due to the repayment of 
a $541,334 line of credit during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 
receiving $630,994 in debt financing during the three months ended March 31, 
1996.
     
     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 clinical trials involving the 
Patient State Analyzer, 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.
