          NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED 
          FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

          COMPUMED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


          NOTE A--BASIS OF PREPARATION

          The balance sheet at September 30, 1996 has been derived from the
          Company's year-end audited financial statements.

          The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial
          statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
          accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
          and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
          Exchange Commission.  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 period ended March
          31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
          be expected for the year ending September 30, 1997.  For further
          information, refer to the consolidated financial statements for
          the year ended September 30, 1996 and the notes thereto included
          in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.


          NOTE B--PER SHARE DATA

          Net loss per share is calculated using the net loss less
          preferred stock dividends, divided by the weighted average common
          shares outstanding.  Shares from the assumed conversion of
          outstanding warrants, options and effect of the conversion of the
          Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock are omitted
          from the computations because the effect would be antidilutive. 


          NOTE C--COMMITMENTS AND CONTENGENCIES

          In December 1996, the Company entered into a technology
          development agreement with Varian Imaging Products (Varian).  The
          Company will receive Varian s amorphous silicon sensor x-ray
          imaging system for testing and for potential integration into its
          second-generation OsteoSystem.  Varian will also grant exclusive
          marketing rights to the Company for the use of its amorphous
          silicon technology in the assessment of appendicular bone mineral
          density and arthritis detection for a period of three years,
          providing certain sales targets are met.  The Company agreed to
          make an initial payment to Varian of $65,000 for the imaging

          NOTE C--COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)

          system and will purchase silicon panel assemblies at prices 
          determined in the agreement.  Varian will supply technical and 
          engineering assistance for incorporating its silicon detectors 
          into the Company's products.

          On August 5, 1996 the Company entered into a Memorandum of
          Understanding to confirm the material terms of an agreement in
          principle to settle the securities class action and derivative
          litigation filed in the United States District Court for the
          Central District of California (the "Court") on behalf of persons
          who purchased Common Stock during various time periods spanning
          from August 11, 1995 to October 17, 1995, inclusive and
          derivatively on behalf of the Company.  The Company's outside
          counsel is working with plaintiffs' counsel to finalize the
          Stipulation of Settlement.  The Company expects the settlement to
          be submitted to the Court by the fourth quarter of 1997.  The
          consummation of the proposed settlement is subject to significant
          conditions, including negotiation of definitive settlement
          agreements and obtaining court approval after notice to the class
          members has been given.  During the six months ended March 31,
          1996 there have been no additional events relating to agreement
          in principle to settle the Securities.  It is anticipated that
          the consummation of the proposed settlement will be completed by
          the end of 1997.


          NOTE D--IMPACT OF RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

          In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
          Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be
          adopted on December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be
          required to change the method currently used to compute earnings
          per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under the new
          requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the
          dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact of
          Statement 128 on the calculation of primary earnings per share
          for these quarters is not expected to be material.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

          Revenues from operations for the three months ended March 31,
          1997 (the "Second Quarter 1997") decreased by 16%, to $460,000,
          as compared to the same period in 1996.  This reduction was
          primarily attributed to decreases in ECG service revenues and the
          related supplies sales.  ECG service revenues were down $70,000
          or 15% during the Second Quarter 1997 over the same period in
          1996, primarily from decreased transtelephonic ECG business and
          from decreased TeleCor(R) (cardiac event monitor) operations. 
          Royalty income was $27,000 for the Second Quarter 1997 from
          OsteoGram(R) operations being managed by a subsidiary of Merck &
          Co., Inc. as compared to $8,000 during the same period in 1996. 
          Investment income decreased to $29,000 during the Second Quarter
          1997 from $63,000 during the 1996 period due to liquidations of
          marketable securities. 

          Costs of services decreased during the Second Quarter 1997 by
          $56,000, or 16% from the prior year period due to decreases in
          variable operating costs such as supplies, technician fees and
          shipping costs.  General and administrative expenses decreased
          during the Second Quarter 1997 by $22,000, or 4% as compared to
          the same period in 1996, primarily due to decreases in legal
          costs.  Research and development costs increased by $47,000
          during the Second Quarter 1997, as compared to the prior year, to
          $167,000 due to increased salaries and direct costs relating to
          the Company's development of a second generation OsteoSystem. 

                                      9
     <PAGE>

          Net loss for the Second Quarter 1997 was $636,000 or $0.07/share
          compared to a loss of $560,000 or $0.06/share for the same period
          in 1996.  The increased loss over the prior year is directly
          attributable to decreased revenues from ECG operations and to
          increased research and development expenditures, which could not
          be fully offset by cost reductions.

          Revenues from operations for the six months ended March 31, 1997
          (the "Six Month  Period") decreased by $112,000 or 10%, to
          $1,012,000, as compared to the same period in 1996.  This
          reduction was primarily attributed to decreases in ECG service
          revenues and the related supplies sales. Rental property income
          from the IRSCO Development subsidiary was eliminated in the 1997
          period, as compared to $99,000 during the 1996 period, due to the
          foreclosure on certain property in April 1996.

          General and administrative expenses decreased during the Six
          Month Period by $139,000, or 13% as compared to the same period
          in 1996, primarily due to the elimination of the IRSCO
          Development operations described above.  The elimination of the
          IRSCO operations, and the related costs of those operations, were
          also the primary causes for the reductions in interest expense
          ($82,000 reduction) and depreciation expense ($27,000 reduction)
          during the Six Month Period as compared to the same period in
          1996.

          Net loss for the Six Month Period was $1,160,000 or $0.13/share
          compared to a loss of $1,209,000 or $0.14/share for the same
          period in 1996.  The loss for the Six Month Period decreased by
          $49,000 or 4% compared to the prior year period primarily as the
          result of the elimination of the ongoing losses from IRSCO rental
          operations.   Decreases in investment income of $77,000 during
          the Six Month Period, as compared to the 1996 period, contributed
          to the losses from operations.

          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
          ---------------------------------

          As of March 31, 1997 the Company had $1,240,000 of working
          capital, a reduction of $1,072,000 from September 30, 1996.  This
          reduction in working capital is a direct result of losses from
          operations, adjusted for depreciation expense.  

          The Company's capital resource commitments at March 31, 1997
          consist primarily of sponsored research agreements and research
          and development costs associated with the development of its
          second generation OsteoSystem.  During the second quarter of
          fiscal 1997, total research and development expenses were
          $167,000.  Expenditures during future periods are expected to
          meet or exceed this level.  Sponsored research payments with the
          University of Massachusetts Medical Center are made at the rate
          of $25,000 per quarter until April 30, 1996 and are $12,500 per
          quarter for the second year commencing May 1, 1996. The Varian
          agreement (see NOTE C above) requires payments in the total

                                      10
     <PAGE>

          amount of $65,000 during the current fiscal year.  Components for
          prototype units will be purchased during the next few quarters
          including digital cameras, x-ray sources and cabinets. 
          Additionally, other sub-contractors are being utilized for this
          project under consulting arrangements.

          The University of Georgia  sponsored Detoxahol research agreement
          has been suspended and the Company is only supporting patent-
          related costs at this time.  Due to the long-term nature of this
          project, the Company is seeking a strategic partner to
          participate in future development.   

          The Company intends to pursue additional research and/or sub-
          contractor agreements relating to its development projects. 
          Additionally, the Company is actively seeking partners and
          acquisition candidates of businesses which are complementary to
          its own.  Such investments would be financed by the Company s
          working capital, through issuance of Company securities or a
          combination thereof.

          Due to the development nature of the Company's business
          activities, the Company is anticipating losses from operations
          during the next year.   Based upon the current business plan, the
          Company will require additional funding for research &
          development, acquisitions, and losses from operations during the
          next year.  The level of capital requirements, based upon current
          expectations is approximately $2 - $3 million.  The Company
          believes that these funds will become available through an
          issuance of securities.  There can be no assurance that the
          Company will be able to successfully negotiate or obtain
          additional financing through the public issuance or private
          placement of its securities or that any such financing will be on
          terms favorable or acceptable to the Company.
