              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 2000
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.     The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared  by  CardioTech  International,  Inc.  (including  its  subsidiaries,
collectively  "CardioTech"  or  "the  Company"),  without audit, pursuant to the
rules  and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in
the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring
adjustments,  necessary  for a fair presentation of interim period results.  The
preparation  of  financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect  the  reported  amounts  of  assets  and  liabilities,  and disclosure of
contingent  assets  and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and
the  reported  amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses during the reporting period.
Actual  results  could  differ  from  those  estimates.  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.  The Company believes, however,
that  its  disclosures  are  adequate  to  make  the  information  presented not
misleading.  The  results  for the interim periods presented are not necessarily
indicative  of  results to be expected for the full fiscal year. It is suggested
that  these  statements  be  read in conjunction with the Company's Consolidated
Financial  Statements  and its notes thereto, for the year ended March 31, 2000,
included  in  the  Company's  Annual  Report  to  shareholders.

2.     The Company computes basic and diluted earnings/loss per share ("EPS") in
accordance  with  Statement of Financial Accountings Standards No. 128, Earnings
Per  Share.  Basic  earnings/loss  per  share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings/loss per
share  is  based  upon  the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
during  the  period  plus  additional  weighted average common equivalent shares
issued  during  the  period.  Common  equivalent  shares result from the assumed
exercise  of  outstanding  stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are
then  assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the
treasury  stock  method.  Common  equivalent  shares have been excluded from the
computation of diluted loss per share for all periods presented, as their effect
would  have  been  anti-dilutive.

     Common  equivalent  shares  result from the assumed exercise of outstanding
stock  options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been
used  to  repurchase  outstanding  common stock using the treasury stock method.
Options  to  purchase 2,381,428 and 1,308,055 shares of common stock outstanding
during  the  periods  ended  June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, were excluded
from  the  calculation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of their
inclusion  would  have  been  anti-dilutive.

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

OVERVIEW

     CardioTech  International,  Inc.  (including its subsidiaries, collectively
"CardioTech" or the "Company") is using its proprietary manufacturing technology
to  develop  and  manufacture  small  bore  vascular  grafts, or synthetic blood
vessels,  made  of  ChronoFlex,  a  family  of  polyurethanes  that  has  been
demonstrated  to  be  biocompatible  and non-toxic.  Vascular grafts are used to
replace,  bypass or provide a new lining or arterial wall for occluded, damaged,
dilated  or  severely  diseased arteries and are also used to provide access for
patients  undergoing  hemodialysis  treatments.  The  Company  develops layered,
microporous  small  bore  vascular grafts.  The Company has developed a vascular
access graft, called the VascuLink Vascular Access Graft and is developing (i) a
peripheral  graft,  called  the  MyoLink  Peripheral  Graft, and (ii) a coronary
artery  bypass  graft,  called  the  CardioPass  Coronary  Artery  Bypass Graft.

     Blood  is pumped from the heart throughout the body via arteries.  Blood is
returned  to  the heart at relatively low pressure via veins, which have thinner
walls  than  arteries  and  have  check  valves which force blood to move in one
direction.  Because  a  specific  area of the body is often supplied by a single
main  artery;  rupture,  severe  narrowing  or occlusion of the artery supplying
blood  to  that  area  is likely to cause an undesirable or catastrophic medical
outcome.

     Vascular grafts are used to replace or bypass occluded, damaged, dilated or
severely  diseased  arteries  and  are  sometimes  used to provide access to the
bloodstream  for  patients  undergoing  hemodialysis treatments.  Existing small
bore  graft technologies suffer from a variety of disadvantages in the treatment
of  certain  medical  conditions,  depending  upon  the  need for biodurability,
compliance  (elasticity)  and  other  characteristics  necessary  for  long-term
interface  with  the  human  body.

     CardioTech  is  developing  its  grafts  using  specialized  ChronoFlex
polyurethane  materials  that  it  believes  will provide significantly improved
performance  in  the  treatment  of  arterial  disorders.  The grafts have three
layers,  similar  to natural arteries and are designed to replicate the physical
characteristics  of  human  blood  vessels.

     Additionally,  through  its  Biomaterials  division,  the Company develops,
manufactures  and  markets polyurethane-based biomaterials for use in both acute
and  chronically  implanted  devices  such  as  stents,  artificial  hearts, and
vascular  ports.  These  premium  biomaterials  are  sold  under the tradenames:
ChronoFlex,  ChronoThane,  HydroThane,  ChronoFilm,  HydroMed  and  Hydroslip.

     CardioTech  owns  a  number  of  patents  relating  to  its  vascular graft
manufacturing  technology.  In  addition,  PolyMedica  Corporation  ("PMI")  has
granted  to  CardioTech an exclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license
for  the  use  of  one  polyurethane  patent and related technology in the field
consisting  of  the  development,  manufacture  and  sale of implantable medical
devices  and biodurable polymer material to third parties for the use in medical
applications  (the  "Implantable  Device  and Materials Field").  PMI also owns,
jointly  with  Thermedics, Inc., the ChronoFlex polyurethane patents relating to
the ChronoFlex technology ("Joint Technology".)  PMI has granted to CardioTech a
non-exclusive,  perpetual,  worldwide,  royalty-free sublicense of these patents
for  use  in  the  Implantable  Devices  and  Materials  Field.

     The  Company  was founded in 1993 as a subsidiary of PMI. In June 1996, PMI
distributed  all  of the shares of CardioTech's common stock, par value $.01 per
share,  that  PMI  owned  to PMI stockholders of record as of June 3, 1996.  The
Company  is  headquartered  in  Woburn,  Massachusetts  and  also has production
facilities  in  Lawrenceville,  New  Jersey  and  Wrexham,  Brymbo  U.K.

     ChronoFilm  is  a registered trademark of PMI.  ChronoFlex, is a registered
trademark  of  CardioTech.  ChronoThane,  ChronoPrene, HydroThane, PolyBlend and
PolyWeld are tradenames of CardioTech. DuraGraft, VascuLink, MyoLink, CardioPass
are  trademarks  of  CardioTech.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

     Comparison  for  the  Three  Months  Ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999.

     Revenue  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  2000 was $420,000 compared to
$219,000  for  the quarter ended June 30, 1999, an increase of $201,000, or 92%.
This  increase  was  primarily the result of additional revenue from the Tyndale
Plains-Hunter  subsidiary  for  biomaterials  sales  of $140,000 and license and
royalty income of $84,000, as well as increased Vascular Graft sales of $31,000.
The  increase  was  partially  offset by a decrease in grant revenue of $80,000.
Product  sales  of Biomaterials and Vascular Grafts was $227,000 for the quarter
ended  June 30, 2000 as compared to $50,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
and  increase  of  $177,000,  or  354%.

     Cost  of  materials  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30, 2000 was $340,000,
compared  to  $232,000  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30, 1999, an increase of
$108,000,  or  47%.  This increase was directly related to the cost of materials
of the Tyndale Plains-Hunter subsidiary of $220,000.  The increase was partially
offset  by a decrease in cost of materials related to Vascular Grafts of $19,000
or  37%,  and  the  existing biomaterials line of $94,000 or 52%.  The decreases
were  a  result  of  efficiencies in production lines.  Research and development
expense  for  the quarter ended June 30, 2000 was $170,000, compared to $371,000
for  the  quarter  ended  June  30,  1999, a decrease of $201,000, or 54%.  This
decrease  was  the  result of decreased research and development expenses on the
Vascular  Graft,  which  were  completed  in  the  last  fiscal  year.

     Selling,  general and administrative expense for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 was $354,000, compared to $501,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 or a
decrease  of  $147,000  or  29%.  This  decrease  was primarily due to decreased
salaries  and  employee related costs resulting from headcount reductions in the
prior  fiscal  year.  Additionally,  the  reduction  in  selling,  general  and
administrative expenses was favorably affected by management's implementation of
cost  containment  measures.

     Net  interest  expense  for  the  quarter  ended  June 30, 2000 was $14,000
compared to $17,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease primarily
resulted  from  an increase in interest income of $14,000 on excess cash held in
money  market funds, and was partially offset by an increase in interest expense
of  $11,000  on  outstanding  loans  during  the  period.

     Net  loss  for  the  quarter  ended June 30, 2000 was $458,000, compared to
$902,000  for  the  quarter  ended  June  30, 1999, or a decrease in net loss of
$444,000  or  49%.  The  decrease  in  net loss is attributable, in part, to the
additional  revenue from the Tyndale Plains-Hunter subsidiary, the completion of
clinical  trials  on  the Vascular Graft, and the implementation of management's
cost  containment  measures.  Net  loss per share for the quarter ended June 30,
2000  was  $0.06  per share as compared to $0.15 per share for the quarter ended
June  30,  1999,  or  a  decrease  in  net  loss  per  share  of  $0.09, or 60%.


LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     The  Company used $324,000 to fund operations during the three months ended
June  30,  2000 compared to $1,187,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The  principal uses of funds for the three months ended June 30, 1999 were a net
loss  of  $458,000  and a decrease in accrued expenses of $106,000.  The uses of
operating  cash  were offset by a normal increase in payables of $82,00; and the
effect  of  non-cash  items that included interest accrued on convertible senior
notes  of  $40,00  and  depreciation  of  $100,000.

     The  Company  issued  a  total of 266,363 shares of common stock during the
quarter ended June 30, 2000 as a result of the exercise of common stock purchase
warrants  and  employee incentive stock options.  As a result of the exercise of
warrants  to  purchase the Company's common stock, the Company received proceeds
of  $85,000.  In  addition,  the  Company  received proceeds of $17,000 upon the
exercise  of  employee  incentive  stock options.  The Company has Subscriptions
Receivable  of  $231,000  related to common stock options granted to consultants
and  directors,  which  were  exercised  during  the  quarter.

     CardioTech's future growth will depend upon its ability to raise capital to
support  research and development activities and to market and sell its vascular
graft  technology.  Through  June  30,  2000,  CardioTech  continued to generate
revenues  from  the sale of vascular grafts, the sale of and royalties earned on
biomaterials,  and NIH research grants.  Since March 31, 1999, the Company began


<PAGE>
distribution  and  commercial  sales  of  its Vasculink Vascular Access Graft in
Europe.  The  Company  has  distributors  located in, but not limited to, Spain,
Italy,  Germany,  France,  Sweden,  and  the  Benelux  countries.

     CardioTech  will  require  substantial  funds  for  further  research  and
development,  future  pre-clinical  and  clinical  trials, regulatory approvals,
establishment  of commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities, and the marketing
of  its products.  CardioTech's capital requirements depend on numerous factors,
including  but  not  limited  to,  the  progress of its research and development
programs;  the progress of pre-clinical and clinical testing; the time and costs
involved  in  obtaining  regulatory  approvals; the cost of filing, prosecuting,
defending  and  enforcing  any  intellectual  property  rights;  competing
technological  and  market  developments; changes in CardioTech's development of
commercialization  activities  and  arrangements; and the purchase of additional
facilities  and  capital  equipment.

     As  of  June  30,  2000,  CardioTech  was  conducting  its  operations with
approximately  $1,553,000  in  cash  and cash equivalents.  CardioTech estimates
such  amount  combined  with its cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
fund  its  working  capital  and research and development activities in the next
twelve months.  Future expenditures for product development, especially relating
to  outside testing and clinical trials, are discretionary and, accordingly, can
be  adjusted  based  on  the  availability  of  cash.

SUBSEQUENT  EVENTS

     Subsequent  to  the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 105,000
shares  of  its common stock upon the exercise of options granted to consultants
and  directors.  The  Company  recognized  $165,000 in Subscriptions Receivable.
