ABIOMED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
ITEM 1: FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


1.	Basis of Preparation

	The unaudited consolidated financial statements of ABIOMED, Inc. 
(the Company), presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the 
instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note 
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. These 
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial 
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest audited 
financial statements, which are contained in the Company's Form 10-K for 
the year ended March 31, 1998, which was filed with the Securities and 
Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying 
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only 
of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize fairly the 
Company's financial position and results of operations.  The results of 
operations for the three months ended June 30, 1998 may not be indicative 
of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year.


2.	Principles of Consolidation

	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the 
Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of its 
majority-owned subsidiary Abiomed Limited Partnership. All significant 
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in 
consolidation.


3. Discontinued Operations

In it's fiscal year ended March 31, 1998, the Company made the 
decision to shift all of its focus to the Company's core cardiovascular 
business and to sell, license or otherwise dispose of its dental business.  
The accompanying consolidated financial statements contain certain 
accounts that have been reclassified in each of the periods presented to 
reflect this decision by the Company.  Reported revenue, cost and expenses 
from continuing operations exclude the operating results of the Company's 
dental business.  

The amount accrued by the Company at March 31, 1998 included 
estimated operating losses of $370,000 to be incurred during fiscal 1999.  
During the three months ended June 30, 1998, the operating loss from the 
Company's dental business applied against the accrual was $112,000.

	Finished goods and work-in-process inventories consist of direct 
material, labor and overhead.


5.	Stockholders' Investment

	During the three months ended June 30, 1998, no options to purchase 
shares of Common Stock were granted.  Options to purchase 29,700 shares 
were canceled during the quarter and there were 17,525 options to purchase 
shares exercised at prices ranging from $5.625 to $8.50 per share during the 
three months ended June 30, 1998.

6.	Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

	The Company has calculated net income (loss) per common share in 
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 
128, Earnings Per Share, a new accounting standard that requires the 
Company to present both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share for 
all periods presented. Basic earnings (loss) per share ("Basic EPS") is 
computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of 
common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per 
share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the 
weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares 
outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Under the 
Diluted EPS method, no common equivalent shares are considered dilutive in 
periods, such as the three months June 30, 1998, in which a net loss is 
reported because such common equivalent shares are antidilutive.  The 
number of shares that otherwise would have been dilutive is 263,617 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1998.  In accordance with SFAS No. 128, the 
Company has recomputed net income per share for the three month period 
ended June 30, 1997 and as a result has restated reported basic and diluted 
net income per share from $0.11 to $0.12 per share.

(unaudited, continued)


7.	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	
	The Company classifies any marketable security with a maturity date 
of 90 days or less at the time of acquisition to be a cash equivalent. 
Securities, including marketable securities, with original maturities of 
greater than 90 days are classified as investments. 


8.	Other Assets 

	Other assets include approximately $307,000 in unamortized purchase 
cost of the Company's majority interest of the Abiomed Limited Partnership. 
The interest in the Abiomed Limited Partnership is being amortized over 
five years, its estimated useful life. Abiomed Limited Partnership (the 
Partnership) was formed in March 1985 and provided initial funding for the 
design and development of certain of the Company's products.

	Through August 3, 2000, the Company owes a royalty to the 
Partnership of 5.5% of certain revenues from these products. Because the 
Company owns 61.7% of the Partnership, the net royalty expense to the 
Company is approximately 2.1% of these product revenues. This royalty 
formula is subject to certain maximum amounts and to certain additional 
adjustments in the event that the Company sells the technology. The 
Partnership is inactive except with respect to receiving and distributing 
proceeds from these royalty rights.

	Also included in other assets are long-term accounts receivable 
related to sales-type leases.  The terms of these non-cancelable leases are 
one to three years. As of June 30, 1998, approximately $168,000 is included 
in other assets for these sales-type leases.


9.	Recent Accounting Pronouncement

	In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS 
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  
SFAS No. 133 is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999.  
The Company does not believe the adoption of this accounting standard will 
have any impact on the Company's financial position or results of 
operations.

PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998


NET INCOME 

	Net loss and net loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 
1998, were approximately $542,000 and $0.06 per share, respectively.  This 
loss compares to net income and net income per share of approximately 
$871,000 and $0.12 per share, respectively, in the same period of the 
previous year. The net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1998 is 
primarily attributable to the Company's undertaking to accelerate the 
development of its battery-powered heart replacement device ("HRD").	

REVENUES 

	Total revenues, excluding interest income, increased by 2% to $5.8 
million in the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $5.7 million in the 
three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase was attributable to an 
increase in contract revenues.
	
	Product revenues decreased by 8% to $3.5 million in the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 from $3.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 
1997.  Sales of BVS blood pumps in the quarter ended June 30, 1997 
benefited from $356,000 of product backlog carried into and shipped in the 
quarter.  The Company generally operates with only limited backlog.  
Without the effect of backlog on the quarter ended June 30, 1997 revenues, 
product revenues were relatively unchanged between these respective 
quarters.  During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, relatively slow customer 
reorders of the BVS single-use blood pumps during the early part of the 
quarter were partially offset by record blood pump reorders in June and a 
slight increase in BVS console sales, as compared to the first quarter of the 
prior year.  More than 90% of total product revenues in the three months 
ended June 30, 1998 were derived from domestic sources. 
	 
	Contract revenues increased by 25% to approximately $2.3 million in 
the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $1.8 million in the three months 
ended June 30, 1997.  Approximately $1.8 million of the contract revenue 
recognized in the three months ended June 30, 1998 was derived from the 
Company's HRD government contract compared to $1.7 million of contract 
revenue recognized under this contract for the three months ended June 30, 
1997. The Company accounts for revenue under its government contracts and 
grants as work is performed, provided that the government has appropriated 
sufficient funds for the work. Through June 30, 1998, the government had 
appropriated $6.7 million of the $8.5 million HRD contract amount, 
including $1.7 million appropriated in June 1998, which had previously 
been scheduled to be appropriated in October 1998.  To date, the Company's 
expenditures under the HRD contract have exceeded the appropriated 
amount. The government appropriation schedule calls for no further 
appropriation for the HRD contract until October 1999. This schedule is 
subject to change at the discretion of the government.

<PAGE>
ABIOMED, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)

REVENUES (continued)

	 While the Company currently plans to further increase its 
expenditures in connection with the development of the HRD, the Company 
will not recognize any further contract revenues under the HRD contract 
until such time as additional funds are appropriated under the HRD contract, 
if ever. The Company believes that certain of its costs incurred prior to 
further appropriation may be reimbursable under the HRD contract, if and 
when additional appropriation under the HRD contract is made. Due to the 
Company's accelerated HRD development activity and the timing of 
government appropriations, the Company believes that it will experience 
significant quarterly fluctuations in contract revenues. The Company also 
believes that the Company's total expenses to complete the development of 
the HRD will significantly exceed the remaining $1.8 million HRD contract 
amount. 

	As of June 30, 1998, the Company's total backlog of research and 
development contracts and grants was $5.3 million, including $1.8 million 
for HRD research and development and $2.2 million for Heart Booster* 
research and development. Funding for the Company's government research 
and development contracts is subject to government appropriation, and all 
of these contracts contain provisions that make them terminable at the 
convenience of the government.  The Company retains rights to all 
technological discoveries and products resulting from these efforts. 

COSTS AND EXPENSES

	Total costs and expenses increased to $6.7 million, 115% of total 
revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $4.8 million, 85% 
of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  The majority 
of this increase in costs and expenses was incurred to support increased 
development activities related to the HRD.
	
	Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues was 41% 
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to 34% in the three 
months ended June 30, 1997. The majority of this increase in cost of 
products sold as a percentage of product revenues was attributable to higher 
product costs for both the console and blood pumps due to higher indirect 
engineering costs to support expanded manufacturing capabilities and to a 
change in the relative mix of products sold. 
	
	Research and development expenses increased by 85% to $3.0 million, 
52% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, from $1.6 
million, 29% of total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1997. 
The increase primarily reflected higher levels of spending by the Company 
to advance the development of the HRD, higher level of activity under the 
Company's non-HRD cost-plus-fixed-fee research and development contracts 
and grants and higher levels of spending to enhance the BVS. Research and 
development expenses during the three months ended June 30, 1998 included 
$2.1 million of expenses incurred in connection with the Company's 
development activities for the HRD. The Company anticipates that its 
research and development expenses will continue to increase as a result of 
its plans to further increase its research and development efforts to further 
develop and test the HRD and enhance the BVS.

PART 1.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION (continued)
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)

COSTS AND EXPENSES (continued)

	Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 18% to $2.2 
million, 38% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 30, 1998, 
from $1.9 million, 33% of total revenues, for the three months ended June 
30, 1997. The increase primarily reflects higher selling and employee 
recruiting costs, including increased sales and administrative headcount and 
additional travel costs, and additional legal expense.  The higher selling 
costs were incurred primarily to continue the growth of the Company's U.S. 
customer base.  The higher employee recruiting costs were incurred to 
support the Company's growing employee base, particularly in the areas of 
product development, manufacturing, sales and marketing related to the HRD 
and BVS.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME

	Interest and other income consists primarily of interest on the 
Company's investment balances, net of interest and other expenses. Interest 
income and other income increased to $357,000, 6% of total revenues, for 
the three months ended June 30, 1998 from $124,000, 2% of total revenues, 
for the three months ended June 30, 1997. This increase primarily reflects 
interest earned on the Company's higher average investment balances.

	Income taxes incurred during these periods were not material and the 
Company continues to have significant net tax operating loss carryforwards 
and tax credit carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

	As of June 30, 1998, the Company had $23.8 million in cash and 
short-term marketable securities. The Company also has a $3,000,000 line of 
credit from a bank that expires in September 1998, and which was entirely 
available at June 30, 1998.

	In the three months ended June 30, 1998, operating activities used 
cash of $2,109,000. Net cash used by operating activities during the three 
months ended June 30, 1998 reflected a net loss of $542,000, increases in 
accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses of $855,000, $504,000 
and $9,000, respectively, and decreases in accounts payable, accrued 
expenses and net assets of discontinued operations of $519,000, $32,000 and 
$22,000, respectively.  These uses of cash were partially offset by 
depreciation and amortization expense of $374,000 included in the net loss.  
The increase in accounts receivable is primarily attributable to the timing 
of billings related to the Company's HRD government contract. 

	During the three months ended June 30, 1998, investing activities 
provided $1,668,000 of cash. Net cash provided by investing activities 
included $2,322,000 of maturities of short-term investments partially offset 
by $654,000 of purchases and improvements of equipment and property 
primarily to support the advanced development of the HRD and the 
expansion of the manufacturing facility. 

	During the three months ended June 30, 1998, financing activities 
provided $147,000 of cash from the exercise of stock options.

ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)

	Although the Company does not currently have significant capital 
commitments, the Company believes that it will continue to make significant 
investments over the next several years to support the development and 
commercialization of its products and the expansion of its manufacturing 
and product development facilities.  The Company is currently negotiating 
with its landlord to enter into a new or amended lease that would allow the 
Company to extend the current lease and consolidate its operations into one 
building.  There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to negotiate 
acceptable terms and the Company is exploring alternative sites as well.  In 
either case, the Company estimates that it will incur costs of approximately 
two million dollars for improvements.

	The Company believes that its revenues and existing resources will be 
sufficient to fund its planned operations, including planned increases in its 
internally funded HRD development efforts, for at least the next twelve 
months.
