                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by ASHA
Corporation, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and include all adjustments which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation.  Certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The Company
believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
not misleading; however, it is suggested that these financial statements and
the accompanying notes be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and notes thereto in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
year ended September 30, 1995.  The financial data for the interim periods may
not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for the year. 

On February 1, 1994, the Company effected a 1 for 85 reverse split of the
Company's outstanding Common Stock.  All share numbers and per share amounts
give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split. 

On June 29, 1994 the Company purchased 3,700 shares of its own common stock. 
On October 25, 1994, the Company purchased an additional 5,000 shares.  During
the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company received 6,359 shares of its own
common stock as repayment of a Note Receivable from a former officer.  The
Company retired the stock.

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

The following should be read in conjunction with the attached Financial
Statements and Notes thereto of the Company. 
 
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 
 
During the three months ended June 30, 1996 , the Company had approximately
$300,000 in revenue as compared to approximately $295,000 in revenue during
the corresponding period last year.  The increase in revenues was a result of
an increase in contract services revenue and short term investments.  Contract
Services revenue increased by approximately $57,000 from the prior year
because the Company recaptured a portion of the discount related to a
receivable due from New Venture Gear in August of 1997. 

Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996, were down by approximately
$70,000 over the corresponding period last year.  Research and development
expenses decreased by approximately $222,000 because beginning in the quarter
ended March 31, 1996, the Company started capitalizing certain of its expenses
related to the world car project.  Officers' salaries decreased by
approximately $42,000 primarily as a result of the reduction of salary by an
officer.  General and administrative expenses  increased by approximately
$143,000 as a result of consulting fees, costs of a private placement,
additional support personnel as well as overall increases in repairs and
maintenance, supplies and benefits due to increased research and development
and world car personnel, and full promotion of European marketing to
additional OEM's.  The net loss of $(313,423) for the three months ended June
30, 1996, was less than the net loss of $(412,571) for the three months ended
June 30, 1996.  The decrease was due to the increased revenues and decreased
expenses described above.

NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996, VERSUS NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the Company had approximately
$1,800,000 in revenue as compared to approximately $4,306,000 in revenue
during the corresponding period last year.  The decrease in revenues was a
result of a decrease in license and right of first refusal revenue as well as
contract revenues.  The decrease in license and right of first refusal
revenues is due to the fact that the Company entered into several new license
agreements during the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease in
contract revenues is due to the fact that during the nine months ended June
30, 1996, the Company included in its option to license agreements, the
development of prototypes, which had the effect of shifting the classification
of revenues from such activities to license and right of first refusal
revenue.

Expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, were up by approximately
$327,000 over the corresponding period last year.  Research and development
expenses decreased by approximately $125,000 as a result of the Company's
capitalization policy on world car project costs.  Officers' salaries
increased by approximately $45,000 primarily as a result of bonuses to two
officers.  General and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$338,000 as a result of the addition of a part-time employee for public
relations, increased directors meetings, full promotion of European marketing
to additional OEM's including the purchase of a vehicle for demonstration of
the Gerodisc, annual report mailings and annual meeting activities, and the
leasing of two vehicles for Sales and Marketing and the Chief Executive
Officer.  Increased consulting fees, costs of a private placement, additional
support personnel as well as overall increases due to increased research and
development and world car personnel.  The net loss of $(317,103) for the nine
months ended June 30, 1996,

                               -9-
<PAGE>
was substantially less than the net income of $2,516,000 for the nine months
ended June 30, 1995.  The decrease was due to the reduced revenues and
increased expenses described above. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately $900,000
as compared to approximately $1,374,000 at September 30, 1995.  The decrease
is due to the net loss of $(317,103), increased expenditures on research and
development and investment in a joint venture which more than offset the
$750,000 received from the private sale of stock.  The Company believes that
it has sufficient liquidity to maintain the Company's current level of
activities for the reminder of the current fiscal year.  However, the Company
is exploring the possibility of raising additional funds to finance additional
marketing and other activities. 

During the nine months ended June 30, 1996, cash provided by operating
activities was approximately $1,025,000 as compared to approximately $548,000
provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The
increase was a result of the decrease in receivables, a non-cash asset.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 1996
was approximately $1,050,000 as compared to approximately $674,000 used in
investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The increase
was primarily due to the investment of approximately $247,000 in marketable
securities which consist of certificates of deposit and commercial paper, all
with maturity dates of less than one year and additional investment in a joint
venture of approximate $600,000.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 1996
was $620,000 as compared to $(7,375) used in financing activities during the
nine months ended June 30, 1995.  The change was primarily due to the fact
that the Company raised $750,000 from the private sale of Common Stock during
the three months ended December 31, 1995.
