ITEM 2.
                      Management's Discussion and Analysis
                 Financial Conditions and Results of Operations

The Company is a publicly-held company headquartered in Minnetonka, Minnesota.
From its inception on May 4, 1983 until mid 1993, the Company, then named GV
Medical, Inc., was engaged in the laser angioplasty business. In May, 1993, the
Company's name was changed to SpectraScience, Inc. to reflect the Company's new
focus on design, development, manufacturing and marketing of laser enhanced
spectroscopic diagnostic systems for the detection of atherosclerosis, thrombus
and normal healthy tissue. The Company has 7 full-time employees. Its executive
offices are located at 5909 Baker Road, Suite 580, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55345.
Its telephone number is (612) 931-9000 and its fax number is (612) 933-9090.

On March 31,1995 the Company recognized the sale of its first two Spectroscopic
Guidewire(TM) Systems for delivery to key European medical centers. The Company
earlier reported that SCIMED Life Systems, Inc. will market the SpectraScience
Spectroscopic Guidewire(TM) System outside the United States under the terms of
a three (3) year exclusive international distribution agreement.

During the Quarter ended March 31, 1995, the Company executed agreements
arranged through Perkins Capital Management, with six (6) private lenders which
provided an additional $225,000 of bridge financing to the Company.

On March 31, 1995, the six private, along with lenders who had previously
provided $300,000 of bridge financing to the Company, elected to convert the
face amount of the notes held by them into 175,000 shares of the Company's
Preferred Stock, pursuant to the terms of the Company's ongoing Private
Placement of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The lenders and other
subscribers to the Private Placement paid or will pay $3.00 in exchange for each
share of Preferred Stock plus a warrant to purchase one share of the Company's
Common Stock (at a purchase price of $5.00 per share) for each 3 shares of
Preferred Stock purchased.

Revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 1995, were $166,088 compared to
$-0- for the comparable quarter of 1994. Revenues in the current year reflect

Research and Development Expenses in the quarter ended March 31, 1995 of
$121,951 represents a decrease of 67% from those expenses incurred in the
quarter ended March 31, 1994. The decrease is due to the Company incurring fewer
expenses in development of the Spectroscopic Guidewire(TM) System.

Selling, General and Administrative expenses of $122,817 for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995 declined 38% from those expenses incurred in the quarter ended
March 31, 1994. Reductions occurred in depreciation, salary, and travel expenses
as a result of a lower asset base following the sale of unneeded assets, and a
decrease in the number of employees in 1995 compared to 1994.

   % Change                                                 -117%

Interest and other expense (income) of $9,490 were 117% lower in the quarter
ended March 31, 1995 than in the quarter ended March 31, 1994, due to lower
interest income and fewer gains on the sale of assets in 1995 compared to 1994.

As a result of all the above factors, the Company reported a net loss for the
quarter ended March 31, 1995, of $196,314, which is a 61% decrease from the
$506,934 loss reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1994. The loss per share
declined to $0.07 per share in 1995 from $0.18 per share in 1994, principally as
a result of lower operating expenses and the increase in revenue.

Financial Condition

Cash and short-term investments decreased $28,857 during the first quarter to a
balance of $29,441 at March 31, 1995. This decrease can be attributed primarily
to the Company's expenses continuing to exceed its revenue. The cash and
short-term financing is believed to be sufficient to sustain the Company's cash
requirements through the completion of the Company's Private Placement, which is
expected to occur in second or third quarter 1995.
