(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all
adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation.
The results of operations for each interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for the year due to the
unpredictability of market factors, product development, competition
and sales in general.
NOTE 2 OTHER ACCRUED LIABILITIES
Other accrued liabilities consist of the following:

NOTE 3 CANCELLATION OF STOCK OPTIONS
In April, 1996, various officers, directors or shareholders of the
Company collectively exercised all of their options and acquired
2,843,166 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price
of $0.25 per share. Shares of stock owned by these individuals were
tendered to the Company as payment for the options exercised and were
subsequently canceled by the Company.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
As previously reported, the Company elected a new President and Chief
Executive Officer, Herbert L. Hugill. Mr. Katevatis remains Chairman
and Treasurer of the Company. Accordingly, the employment agreement
with Mr. Katevatis was amended effective March 1, 1996 providing for
an annual salary of $100,000 per year for the next three years. In
connection with this amendment, the Company issued 552,664 restricted
shares of the Company's common stock in consideration for a reduction
in the term of his employment agreement and a reduction in his annual
salary. Accordingly, the Company recognized $453,184 as additional
compensation to Mr. Katevatis during the quarter ended May 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S PLAN OF OPERATION
The Company's mission is to discover, develop and market novel and effective
photonic technologies for the early detection of cancer. The focus of
Mediscience's devices is aimed toward less invasive, faster, more accurate and
more cost effective cancer diagnosis.
Mediscience's primary area of concentration is on development and
commercialization of its patented Tissue Fluorescence Spectroscopy technology
which uses light for non-invasive and minimally invasive detection of cancer in
humans, in vivo (in the body). Its secondary focus is on research and
development of its Optical Imaging technology which uses laser light to image
dense tissue without exposing the body to harmful ionizing irradiation.
Mediscience completed a phase I clinical feasibility study at New York's
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital in 1994 and demonstrated the feasibility of
Tissue Fluorescence Spectroscopy to distinguish among cancerous, precancerous
and normal tissue in the oral cavity. A phase II clinical study is currently
pending at Memorial Sloan-Kettering to build on the earlier work under the
cosponsorship of the National Cancer Institute and Mediscience.
The Company is also planning to perform additional phase I clinical feasibility
studies to define additional medical applications for its Tissue Fluorescence
Spectroscopy technology that it can develop for sale to the medical marketplace.
Of the two clinical feasibility studies that are committed presently, one
involves in vivo optical diagnosis of breast tumors by passing a fine optical
fiber through a minimally invasive stereotactic needle to optically determine if
the tumor is cancerous or benign without surgical excision, while the second
involves optical assessment of patients with Barrett's esophagus, a known
precursor to esophageal cancer in some people. In addition, up to four
additional clinical feasibility studies are anticipated during the next 18
months.
In addition to working on its own, Mediscience is also seeking one or more
corporate alliance arrangements to jointly develop specific end use applications
for its two technologies. The Company is also selectively considering other
non-medical applications of its technology through possible partnering
arrangements.
<PAGE>
Mediscience subcontracts its research and development through an arrangement
with the City University of New York. Dr. Robert Alfano, a consultant to the
Company, distinguished professor of science and engineering at CUNY and the
inventor of the technology, supervises the Company's research as CUNY's
Principal Investigator. As a result of the contract research relationship with
CUNY, the Company has exclusive rights to 12 patents and optional rights to 17
pending patents. Mediscience also licensed 3 other patents from two other
institutions.
The Company has a research agreement with Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital for
investigation of its Tissue Fluorescence Spectroscopy technology and maintains
close working relationships with Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, New York
Hospital's Cornell Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital. The breast
clinical feasibility study is scheduled to be conducted at Massachusetts General
Hospital and the Barrett's esophagus feasibility study is scheduled for Cornell
Medical Center.
Two Prototype devices have been developed and a third is in progress. CD Scan,
the first device, has been tested pre-clinically and was successfully used in
the above noted phase I clinical feasibility study at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
CD Ratiometer, the Company's second device has been used successfully on a
pre-clinical basis and will be employed in each of the pending phase I clinical
feasibility studies, i.e., optical breast biopsy and Barrett's esophagus
studies.
In an effort to address its liquidity problems and its shortage of capital
resources, the Company successfully completed a $2,000,000 private placement of
its common stock in April, 1996. The Company continues to explore codevelopment
arrangements with other companies to defray costs and extend the Company's
capital and human resources. The Company's ability to maintain its operations
throughout its history has been dependent upon the periodic infusion of capital
and the willingness of its creditors to accept payment beyond normal terms.
The Company believes that its recent private placement offering will satisfy
it's working capital needs beyond the end of its current fiscal year.
