NOTE C - ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    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. 

    In June 1997, the FASB issued FAS 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" 
and FAS 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related 
Information." Both FAS 130 and FAS 131 are effective beginning December 15, 
1997. The Company believes that the adoption of these new accounting 
standards will not have a material impact on the Company's financial 
statements.

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-TM- headpiece and disposable HydroDot-TM- biosensors and custom 
electronics, which are packaged as the HydroDot NeuroMonitoring System.  
The Company also has two additional neurological monitoring products, the 
Equinox-TM- EEG System which was commercially introduced in February 1997 and 
the Patient State Analyzer-TM-, 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 June 30, 1997, the 
Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $15.3 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 


                                      7
<PAGE>

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 JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1997

    REVENUES

    Revenues increased 178% to $218,496 for the three months ended June 30, 
1997 from $78,732 for the three months ended June 30, 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 40% to $408,722 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $292,841 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  This 
increase was primarily due to a higher sales volume.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 71% to $622,760 
for the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $363,646 for the three months 
ended June 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily due to additional costs for 
sales and marketing personnel and advertising costs associated with the 
Equinox EEG System introduction.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

    Research and development expenses consisting principally of salaries, 
consulting fees and clinical trial expenses increased 119% to $520,051 for 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $237,366 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily the result of ongoing development 
and clinical evaluation for the Patient State Analyzer and continued 
enhancements to and support for the Company's existing products.

    INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

    Interest income increased $43,318 to $210,833 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $167,515 for the three months ended June 30, 1996.  This 
was the result of a higher average cash balance in the second quarter of 1997 
versus the second quarter of 1996.  The Company's initial public offering 
occurred on April 30, 1996.  Interest expense decreased $38,325 to $1,755 for 
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $40,080 for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This decrease was primarily the result of a repayment of 
$541,334 under a revolving line of credit in March, 1997.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 AND 1997

    REVENUES

    Revenues increased 96% to $422,223 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
from $214,958 for the six months ended June 30, 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 37% to $803,020 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $588,022 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This 
increase was primarily due to a higher sales volume.

    SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

    Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 72% to $1,197,656 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $694,867 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily due to additional costs for sales 
and marketing personnel and advertising costs associated with the Equinox EEG 
System introduction.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

    Research and development expenses consisting principally of salaries, 
consulting fees and clinical trial expenses increased 162% to $1,090,831 for 
the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $416,481 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This increase is primarily the result of ongoing development 
and clinical evaluation for the Patient State Analyzer and continued 
enhancements to and support for the Company's existing products.

    INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE

    Interest income increased $254,625 to $426,147 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1997 from $171,522 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This was 
the result of a higher average cash balance in the first six months of 1997 
versus the first six months of 1996.  The Company's initial public offering 
occurred on April 30, 1996.  Interest expense decreased $27,275 to $20,674 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $47,949 for the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  This decrease was primarily the result of a repayment of 
$541,334 under a revolving line of credit in March, 1997.

                                      9

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At June 30, 1997, the Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term 
investments were $14,733,556 as compared to $18,146,248 at December 31, 1996. 

    The Company's operating activities used cash of $2,723,136 in the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $1,213,933 in the six months ended 
June 30, 1996.  The increase in cash used was the result of a $2,263,811 net 
loss combined with a $196,604 decrease in accounts payable and accrued 
expenses and a $263,136 increase in inventories.

    The Company's investing activities provided cash of $3,472,964 for the 
six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to cash used of $597,451 for the 
six months ended June 30, 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 $550,274 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $20,630,614 of cash provided in the 
six months ended June 30, 1996.  This decrease was due to the repayment of a 
$541,334 line of credit during March, 1997.  The Company received $19.8 
million in net proceeds from their initial public offering in 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.
