        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                                OCTOBER 29, 1995




NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The condensed consolidated financial statements of Novametrix Medical
Systems Inc. (the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they
do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the quarter and six months ended October 29, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending
April 28, 1996.  For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended April 30, 1995.


NOTE 2 -- PER SHARE AMOUNTS

     Common stock equivalents consist of the Company's Preferred Stock, stock
options, warrants and shares subscribed under the Company's Employee Stock
Purchase Plan. The computation of dilutive common stock equivalents is based on
the if-converted method for the Preferred Stock and on the treasury stock
method for the other common stock equivalents using the average market price
for the primary earnings per share computations and the higher of average or
period-end market price for the fully diluted earnings per share computations.

NOTE 3 -- CONTINGENCIES

     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings generally incidental
to its business.  Management believes that none of such legal proceedings will
have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial
position, results of operations or liquidity.

     ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Operating results for the quarter and six months ended October 29, 1995
compared to the quarter and six months ended October 30, 1994 reflect the
Company's continued improvement in performance over the last several years.
For the quarter ended October 29, 1995, the Company recorded net income of
approximately $457,000 or $.06 per share on net sales of approximately
$6,148,000 compared to net income of approximately $386,000 or $.05 per share
on net sales of approximately $6,024,000 for the second quarter of the prior
fiscal year.  For the six-month period ended October 29, 1995, the Company
recorded net income of approximately $845,000 or $.11 per share on net sales of
approximately $12,229,000 compared to net income of approximately $590,000 or
$.08 per share on net sales of approximately $11,519,000 for the first six
months of the prior fiscal year.

     Net sales increased by approximately $124,000 or 2% when comparing the
quarter ended October 29, 1995 to the quarter ended October 30, 1994, and
increased by approximately $710,000 or 6% when comparing the six-month period
ended October 29, 1995 to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year.
The increase for both periods was primarily attributable to the continued
growth of product sales, particularly international, and to higher sales levels
to OEM customers who utilize the Company's technology in their own monitoring
systems.  A reduction in non-hospital product sales compared to the unusually
high levels of the prior year, partially offset these increases.

     Cost of products sold as a percentage of net sales of 43.4% and 43.0%,
respectively, for the quarter and six months ended October 29, 1995 reflected a
modest improvement compared to the 43.9% and 43.7% , respectively, reported for
the quarter and six months ended October 30, 1994. The improvement in cost of
products sold as a percentage of net sales resulted primarily from favorable
product mix compared to the corresponding periods of the prior fiscal year. The
Company's continued attention to quality and cost also contributed to the
sustained improvement.

     Research and product development ("R & D") expenses increased by
approximately $62,000 or 10%  for the quarter ended October 29, 1995 compared
to the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year, and increased by
approximately $213,000 or 19% when comparing the six months ended October 29,
1995 to the six months ended October 30, 1994. For both the three month and six
month comparisons, the increase was primarily due to higher levels of salaries
and related fringe benefits and increased outside professional services,
partially offset by reduced spending for R & D materials compared to the prior
year.  A portion of the six month increase included expenses which are not
expected to continue, and R & D spending is expected to approximate 10% of net
sales for the balance of Fiscal 1996.

     Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses decreased by
approximately $20,000 or 1% for the quarter ended October 29, 1995 compared to
the quarter ended October 30, 1994.  S,G&A expenses increased by approximately
$72,000 or nearly 2% when comparing the six months ended October 29, 1995 to
the six months ended October 30, 1994 due to increased administrative costs.
International selling expenses, which increased as a result of costs associated
with additional sales






<PAGE>   9
personnel and higher sales levels, were effectively offset by lower domestic
selling expenses for both the quarterly and six month comparisons.
Administrative recruitment fees and general insurance expenses accounted for
all of the S,G&A expense increase when comparing the six months ended October
29, 1995 to the first six months of the prior fiscal year.

     Interest expense decreased by approximately $7,000 or 9% for the quarter
ended October 29, 1995 and decreased by approximately $56,000 or 27% for the
six months ended October 29, 1995 compared to the corresponding periods of the
prior fiscal year.  The improvement for the quarterly comparison resulted from
reduced bank debt levels primarily as a result of scheduled principal payments.
The improvement shown in the six month comparisons also reflects the favorable
impact of the Company's public offering consummated in June 1994, the proceeds
of which were used to reduce bank debt.

     The Company's backlog of firm orders aggregated approximately $3,070,000
as of October 29, 1995 compared to approximately $3,994,000 as of April 30,
1995. Approximately $609,000 of the decrease was related to long-term OEM
agreements. Except for orders pursuant to such long-term OEM agreements, the
Company traditionally ships its products on a current basis.  As such, the
Company does not consider its backlog at any time to be a meaningful indicator
of future sales.



LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL


     As of October 29, 1995, the Company's working capital approximated
$7,056,000 representing an increase of approximately $644,000 over the April
30, 1995 level of $6,412,000.  The Company's current ratio improved to 2.8 to 1
at October 29, 1995 from 2.5 to 1 at April 30, 1995, primarily as a result of
the Company's continued improvement in operating results.  In addition, the
Company had $1,425,000 available for borrowing under its revolving credit
facility at both October 29, 1995 and April 30, 1995.

     Approximately $423,000 of cash was provided by operations for the six
months ended October 29, 1995. Income of approximately $1,288,000 before
non-cash deductions for depreciation and amortization was partially offset by
the net impact of increases in inventory and reductions in accounts payable and
accrued expenses.

    Cash flow from operations is expected to exceed scheduled debt service
requirements and planned investing activities for the balance of Fiscal 1996.
Further, management believes that the cash provided by operations combined with
the availability of funds under the revolving credit agreement will support its
planned rate of growth, and that additional funds, if required, will be
available from other sources on commercially reasonable terms.  In addition,
the Company has approximately $5,600,000 of additional net proceeds that it
could potentially realize upon exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants
issued in June 1994, which are redeemable by the Company under specified
conditions.
