NOTES TO INTERIM UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED,
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

COMPUMED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


NOTE A--BASIS OF PREPARATION

The balance sheet at September 30, 1998 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, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ending September 30, 1999. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 1998 and the
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

NOTE B--PER SHARE DATA

Basic 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 exercise of outstanding warrants, options and effect of the
conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock, Class B Preferred Stock and Class C
Preferred Stock are omitted from the computations of diluted loss per share
because the effect would be antidilutive.

NOTE C--COMMITMENTS AND CONTENGENCIES

On January 26, 1998, the United States District Court for the Central District
of California approved the settlement of the class action and derivative
lawsuits on the terms agreed to by the parties in the Memorandum of
Understanding entered into on August 5, 1996. The final settlement is
anticipated to be completed by September 30, 1999 and will involve the issuance
of 770,000 shares of Common Stock and the issuance of 1,870,000 warrants for the
purchase of Common Stock at a price of $3.00. The effect of these issuances on
the Company's statement of operations was recorded during the fiscal year ended
September 30, 1997.

NOTE D - CONVERSION OF CLASS C CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

During the six months ended March 31, 1999, Class C shareholders converted 2,838
shares of Class C preferred stock into 789,654 shares of Common Stock. At March

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

This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements as defined by the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include
statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or
performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than
statements of historical facts. These statements are subject to uncertainties
and risks including, but not limited to, product and service demand and
acceptance, changes in technology, the availability of appropriate acquisition
candidates and/or business partnerships, economic conditions, the impact of
competition and pricing, capacity and supply constraints or difficulties,
government regulation and other risks defined in this document. All such
forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, and whether made by or on
behalf of the Company are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements and
any other cautionary statements which may accompany the forward-looking
statements. In addition, the Company disclaims any obligation to update any
forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date
hereof.

OVERVIEW
- --------

During the six months ended March 31, 1999, in addition to the Company's ongoing
transtelephonic ECG business, the Company's research and development efforts
were directed primarily toward the completion of its Automated OsteoGram 2000
software. On December 1, 1998, the Company filed for market clearance with the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to sell its Automated OsteoGram 2000
software to Physicians and Clinicians. The Company currently expects to receive
a response from the FDA by June 16, 1999.

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

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 (the "Second Quarter
1999") were $615,000, as compared to $465,000 for the same period in 1998.
Revenues from ECG product and supplies sales increased to $253,000, from $97,000
during the same period in fiscal 1998, due to increased sales of
electrocardiograph units and related supplies. During the prior fiscal year, the
Company provided electrocardiographs primarily on a rental-only basis, so
equipment sales were negligible. Revenues from the Company's OsteoGram(R)
services were $3,000, as compared to $17,000 during the same period in fiscal
1998. There was no royalty income earned during the Second Quarter 1999 from
OsteoGram operations being managed by a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc.
(compared to $16,000 in 1998), since the license agreement was terminated on
March 31, 1998, however; the Company has commenced offering OsteoGram services

                                 9

<PAGE>

directly to research institutions and revenues from such services are
anticipated to continue in the future.

Cost of goods sold consists of the costs of supplies and electrocardiograph
equipment sold. The overall costs, as a percentage of product sales, are a
result of the mix between supplies and equipment sales and the available
equipment and supplies costs attainable, based on volumes purchased and vendor
pricing availability. During the Second Quarter 1999, costs of sales increased,
as a percentage of sales, to 58% from 54% during the prior year. The increase is
primarily due to the increase in electrocardiograph equipment sales, which carry
a lower gross margin than electrocardiograph supplies sales.

Overall operating costs decreased by 8% during the Second Quarter 1999 to
$826,000, as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998. General and
administrative expenses decreased by 13% to $246,000, as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1998, primarily due to reductions in professional fees,
consulting expenses and payroll. Research and development costs decreased by 66%
to $71,000 during the Second Quarter 1999, as compared to the same period in
fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of reduced salaries, consulting fees and
contracted research fees. Selling expenses increased by $33,000 during the
Second Quarter 1999, as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998, primarily as
a result of sales commissions earned on products sold.

The Company recorded other income during the Second Quarter 1999 of $18,000,
which is comprised of interest income from investments in marketable securities.

Net loss for the Second Quarter 1999 was $208,000 compared to a loss of $414,000
for the same period in fiscal 1998. The decreased loss is due to the cost
reductions enacted by the Company primarily in the areas of research and
development and general and administrative expenses, and to the increases in
revenues to $615,000 from $465,000 in the prior year.


Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1999 were $1,132,000, as compared to
$880,000 for the same period in 1998. Revenues from ECG product and supplies
sales increased to $439,000, from $143,000 during the same period in fiscal
1998, due to increased sales of electrocardiograph units and related supplies.
During the prior fiscal year, the Company provided electrocardiographs primarily
on a rental-only basis, so equipment sales were negligible. Revenues from the
Company's OsteoGram(R) services were $7,000, as compared to $42,000 during the
same period in fiscal 1998, due to the termination of the Merck & Co., Inc.
license agreement, mentioned above.


                                    10

<PAGE>


Costs of sales increased during the six months ended March 31, 1999, as a
percentage of sales, to 58% from 57% during the prior year. The increase is
primarily due to the increase in electrocardiograph equipment sales, which carry
a lower gross margin than electrocardiograph supplies sales.

Overall operating costs decreased by 7% during the six months ended March 31,
1999 to $1,673,000, as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998. General and
administrative expenses decreased by 17% to $537,000, as compared to the same
period in fiscal 1998, primarily due to reductions in professional fees,
consulting expenses and payroll. Research and development costs decreased by 51%
to $183,000, as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998, primarily as a
result of reduced salaries, consulting fees and contracted research fees.
Selling expenses increased by $51,000 during the six months ended March 31,
1999, as compared to the same period in fiscal 1998, primarily as a result of
sales commissions earned on products sold and increased trade show attendance.

The Company recorded other income during the 1999 six-month period of $42,000,
which is comprised of interest income from investments in marketable securities.

Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 1999 was $528,000 compared to a loss
of $893,000 for the same period in fiscal 1998. The decreased loss is due to the
cost reductions enacted by the Company primarily in the areas of research and
development and general and administrative expenses, and to the increases in
revenues to $1,132,000 from $880,000 in the prior year.


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

As of March 31, 1999 the Company had $2,052,000 of working capital, a decrease
of $605,000 from September 30, 1998. This decrease in working capital is
primarily a result of losses from operations, including research and development
costs, adjusted for depreciation expense.

The Company's capital resource commitments at March 31, 1999 consist primarily
of costs associated with the development of its bone densitometry technology.
During the six months ended March 31, 1999, total research and development
expenses were $183,000. Expenditures during future periods may meet or exceed
this level. Additionally, the Company is anticipating incurring additional costs
associated with the market introduction of the OsteoGram 2000 software product,
pending FDA clearance. Revenues generated by the sales of this product may
offset such costs.

The University of Georgia sponsored Detoxahol research agreement has been
suspended and the Company is only supporting patent-related costs at this time.

                                    11

<PAGE>

Due to the long-term nature of this project, the Company has been 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 that are
complementary to its own. Such investments would be financed either by the
Company's working capital, through issuance of Company securities or a
combination thereof. No assurance can be given that any acquisition would not be
dilutive to stockholders.

Depending on the extent of development activities borne by the Company, the
Company will continue to incur losses from operations until sales of products
currently under development commence. Current working capital levels are
considered adequate for the Company's business activities during the next 12
months.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000
- -----------------------

The Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs being written using two
digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the Company's
computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize a date using
"00" as the year 1900 rather than the Year 2000. This could result in a system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or
engage in similar normal business activities.

Based on a recent assessment, the Company determined that its computer systems
will function properly with respect to dates in the year 2000 and thereafter.
The Company has determined it has no exposure to contingencies related to the
Year 2000 Issue for the products it has sold.
