                      POSSIS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  unaudited  consolidated  financial  statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  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.  The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
should be read in conjunction  with the audited  financial  statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report.


2.   INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended April 30, 1996
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending July 31, 1996.


3.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

     In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of  Financial   Accounting   Standards  No.  123,   Accounting  for  Stock-Based
Compensation.  Pursuant to the new standard,  companies are encouraged,  but are
not  required,  to adopt  the fair  value  method  of  accounting  for  employee
stock-based  transactions.  Companies are also  permitted to continue to account
for  such  transactions  under  Accounting  Principles  Board  Opinion  No.  25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, but would be required to disclose in a
note to the  financial  statements  pro  forma net  income  and,  if  presented,
earnings  per share as if the Company had applied the new method of  accounting.

     Disclosure  provisions are required to be adopted when the  recognition and
measurement  provisions  are adopted,  but no later than fiscal years  beginning
after  December 15, 1995. The Company has not yet determined if it will elect to
change to the fair  value  method,  nor has it  determined  the  effect  the new
standard  will have on net income and earnings per share should it elect to make
such a change.


4.   HEART VALVE PATENT REVENUE

     The Company received its heart valve patent payments from St. Jude Medical,
Inc.  at six-  month  intervals,  approximately  60 days  following  June 30 and
December 31. Management  estimated and recorded the revenue monthly and adjusted
the  estimate to actual upon  receipt of the  payment.  In the third  quarter of
fiscal 1995, the Company recorded the final payment from St. Jude.

<PAGE>

5.   COST OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS

     Cost of medical  products  includes  manufacturing  start-up  expense which
consists of excess labor and material costs,  higher than normal levels of scrap
product and  unabsorbed  manufacturing  overhead  expenses  associated  with the
installation and start-up of new manufacturing processes.


6.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

     The  Company's  outstanding  stock  options  and  stock  warrants  were not
included in the  computation  of earnings  per share since the impact would have
been anti-dilutive because of the net loss.

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


Results of Operations
Three and Nine Month Periods Ended April 30, 1996 and 1995

     Total  revenues for the three and nine month  periods  ended April 30, 1996
were $437,000 and $2,174,000, respectively, below the same year-earlier periods.
These same fiscal 1995 periods included  $335,000 and $2,192,000,  respectively,
in heart valve patent payments and pacemaker leads business  royalties,  both of
which ended in the third quarter of last year.  The $200,000 of current  quarter
sales agreement  revenue was received from Baxter  Healthcare  Corporation  upon
signing a  worldwide,  three-year  supply  and  distribution  agreement  for the
Perma-Flow  Coronary Bypass Graft.  In the agreement,  which requires Baxter to
make two additional  $200,000 payments over the next two years, the Company will
manufacture  the grafts and Baxter will  distribute  them. The $750,000 of sales
agreement  revenue received in the nine months ended April 30, 1995 was received
from C.R. Bard in conjunction with a supply and  distribution  agreement for the
Company's  Perma-Seal  Dialysis  Access Graft signed in December 1994.  Medical
products  sales in the three  months  ended April 30, 1996 of $139,000 are below
those  reported in the same  year-earlier  period and also those reported in the
last three months ended January 31, 1996. Nearly all the Company's product sales
for the current and last fiscal year are  AngioJet  Rapid  Thrombectomy  System
sales to influential  medical opinion leaders in Europe,  Japan and Canada.  All
three of the  Company's  products  represent  new  technology,  new  methods  of
treatment  and the use of these  products by  influential  practitioners  is the
initial step necessary for a wide-scale  marketing program. The Company believes
it is obtaining the necessary  product usage,  and medical product sales outside
of the United  States are expected to generally  increase  each quarter over the
prior three months, although at a slower rate than earlier expected.

     In the United States,  all the Company's  products are undergoing  Food and
Drug Administration (FDA) clinical evaluation.  A 510(k) was filed in March with
the FDA requesting United States marketing clearance for the AngioJet System for
use in peripheral applications. The Company expects that the AngioJet System for
peripheral  use will be cleared by the FDA for United  States  marketing  in the
second half of calendar 1996.  This initial United States  clearance is expected
to lead to added product sales revenue for the Company.

     Cost of medical products  increased 46% and 44% in the three and nine month
periods, respectively, over the same year-earlier periods. The Company continues
to incur manufacturing start-up expenses associated with designing, building and
installing  new   manufacturing   equipment  and  processes  and   manufacturing
increasing  quantities  of product.  Additionally,  significant  costs are being
incurred  as  Possis  Medical   validates  these   manufacturing   processes  in
preparation  for  GMP  inspection  and  ISO  9001  and  CE-Mark  certifications.
Currently,  quantities  produced compared to production  capacity  available are
small and cost  efficiencies  and improved  margins are expected  with growth in
product sales and the resulting increased production demand.
<PAGE>

     Selling, general and administrative expense increased $620,000 in the three
months ended April 30, 1996,  compared to the year-earlier  period. Of the total
quarterly  increase,  $312,000 was a noncash charge for discounted stock options
issued to the Company's  independent  distributors as compensation for canceling
their rights to distribute the Perma-Flow  Coronary  Bypass Graft. An additional
$100,000 of the increase was added  marketing and sales travel and support costs
associated with commercializing the Company's products.

     Research and development  expense in the three and nine month periods ended
April 30,  1996,  decreased by 22% and 8%,  respectively,  compared to the prior
year.  The  reduction  in the  current  three month  period of $163,000  results
partially  from  the  completion  of  the  Company's   development   program  to
self-manufacture  Perma-Flow  Graft  material.  In  addition,  spending  on  the
AngioJet  System for coronary  applications  also declined as that product moved
from  product  development  and process  design work in fiscal 1995 to a Phase 1
United States clinical study in fiscal 1996. Research and development expense is
expected to increase in the future as the pace of United States  clinical  study
enrollment  increases  and as the  Company  invests  in the  development  of new
products that leverage its existing technology base.

     Interest  income has increased  significantly  in the most recent three and
nine months compared to the fiscal 1995 periods. More money has been invested as
a result of the Company's  October 1995 public stock  offering that raised a net
$27 million for Possis.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Cash, cash  equivalents and marketable  securities  totaled  $26,820,000 on
April 30, 1996 versus  $6,721,000 on July 31, 1995. The increase  results from a
public stock offering  completed in October 1995.  Including the exercise of the
underwriter   over-allotment  option,  the  Company  recorded  net  proceeds  of
$26,658,000 from the sale of 1,971,000 shares of common stock.

     As  expected,  net cash usage in the three  months ended April 30, 1996 was
approximately  $3,150,000.  With the ending of heart valve patent payments,  the
termination of the royalty payments  relating to the sale of the pacemaker leads
business  and higher  levels of  expense,  the  Company's  cash usage rate is up
considerably  in the most recent  three and nine month  periods  compared to the
same periods in fiscal 1995. Possis expects continued investments will be needed
to  generate  increasing  sales  outside  the United  States and plans to hire a
United  States  direct sales force in the second half of calendar  1996 to begin
selling the AngioJet System for use in peripheral applications.

     The Company  believes its net cash usage for the next several quarters will
be $800,000 to $1,100,000 per month and thereafter will decline as international
product sales increase and as the Company  commences sale of the AngioJet System
in the United States.  The Company believes that its existing cash reserves will
be adequate to  complete  the  development  and  commercialization  of its three
current products.
