1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB have been prepared by the
Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission. 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, although management believes the disclosures are adequate to make
the information presented not misleading. These statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1998, filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange

3. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic per-share amounts are computed, generally, by dividing net income or loss
by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted per-share
amounts assume the conversion, exercise, or issuance of all potential common
stock instruments unless the effect is anti-dilutive, thereby reducing the loss
or increasing the income per common share.

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

The following discussion and analysis provides information that the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition. This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the accompanying financial statements and footnotes.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

OVERVIEW

Total revenues were $4,486,655 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to $3,690,955 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, representing a 21.6%
increase. Total gross profit increased from $1,511,713 for the six months ended
June 30, 1998, to $2,218,712 for the six months ended June 30, 1999,
representing a 46.8% increase. Total gross profit as a percent of sales
increased from 41.0% to 49.5% in such periods. Total research and development
expenditures were $443,315 or 9.9% of sales for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $251,281 or 6.8% of sales for the six months ended June 30,
1998. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $977,831 for the six month
period ended June 30, 1998 to $1,193,188 for the six month period ended June 30,
1999. General and administrative expenses increased from $489,602 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to $517,165 for the six months ended June 30, 1999.
The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to
increased spending on MIS and investor-relations activities. Interest income,
interest expense and other expenses remained relatively unchanged in total
during the comparable periods.

As a result, the Company had net income of $37,280 or $.01 per share for the six
months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of $239,550 or $.06 per share
for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

VASCULAR DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Sales of vessel introducers, primarily to Medtronic under an exclusive
distribution arrangement, were $2,621,666 for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $1,984,364 for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
representing a 32.1% increase. This increase was primarily due to Medtronic
building their inventories during the


                                        7
<PAGE>


first four months of 1999 compared to 1998. Medtronic introducer kit orders have
moderated to a more normal sell-through rate and the Company expects kit orders
to stay at that level during the third quarter.

Contract manufacturing sales were $275,083 for the six months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $330,901 for the six months ended June 30, 1998. This decrease
was due to the Company's existing customer ordering lower quantities of product
during the comparable periods. The Company expects contract manufacturing sales
in the third quarter to be consistent with those in the second quarter. The
Company also does some contract research and development work periodically for
Medtronic and realized sales of $35,746 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to $40,786 for the six months ended June 30, 1998.

The gross profit percentage on vessel introducers and contract manufacturing
totaled 52.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 48.4% for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. The increase in the gross profit percentage on
vessel introducers and contract manufacturing was primarily due to the Company
absorbing its existing overhead costs with the larger volume of product during
the first half of 1999.

Total research and development expenditures were $208,796 or 7.1% of sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $44,894 or 1.9% of sales for the
six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company increased its engineering staff and
has been working on a number of projects for Medtronic and is also working on
several new introducer product concepts. The Company expects research and
development expenditures in the third quarter to approximate the second quarter.

Selling expenses increased from $21,515 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
to $70,590 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. This increase was primarily
due to two factors. First, commission expense has increased due to the increase
in sales. Second, the Company attended more trade shows in 1999 and has
developed a brochure to help increase awareness of its product offerings. The
Company is intending to expand its customer base for these products and has
received a number of inquiries from customers attending these shows. Any
revenues related to these potential new customers would be minimal in 1999.

FIBER OPTIC

Sales of the Company's fiber optic pressure sensing products were $1,554,160 for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $1,334,904 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, representing an 16.4% increase. Monitor sales decreased
5.7% or $44,983 and catheter sales increased 45.3% or $230,457 over the
comparable period. The Company also saw increases in its accessory and service
sales totaling $33,782. The decrease in monitor sales was primarily due to the
fact that the Company terminated its relationships with its indirect sales force
on December 31, 1998 and started selling with a new ten person direct sales
force in January 1999. The Company had anticipated a drop in monitor sales
during the first half of the year due to the learning curve for the new sales
force. The Company anticipates that monitor sales will accelerate more rapidly
as the direct sales force continues to gain knowledge about the products and the
marketplace. Catheter sales continue to increase as the Company's installed base
of monitors grows.

The gross profit percentage on fiber optic products totaled 43.0% or $668,987
for the six month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to 27.8% or $371,074 for
the six month period ended June 30, 1998. The percentage increase was primarily
due to a higher average selling price on the LuMax System, as well as better
catheter yields compared to the same period in 1998. The Company expects gross
profit in the fiber optic business to improve in the future as the Company
increases sales, improves catheter yields, and better utilizes its capacity.

Total research and development expenditures were $234,519 or 15.1% of sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $206,387 or 15.5% of sales for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company is near completion on the
development of the LuMax Interface System, as well as a new lower cost catheter.
However, the Company continues to explore product enhancements and new
technologies and expects research and development expenditures in the third
quarter to approximate the second quarter.

Selling expenses increased from $956,316 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
to $1,122,598 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. The increase was primarily
due to salaries and travel for the direct sales force of


                                        8
<PAGE>


approximately $258,282. Commissions expense decreased approximately $92,000 due
to the direct sales force receiving a lower commission percentage on sales than
the indirect sales force.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998

OVERVIEW

Total revenues were $2,199,197 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to $1,939,203 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, representing a 13.4%
increase. Total gross profit increased from $813,733 for the three months ended
June 30, 1998 to $1,118,967 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
representing a 37.5% increase. Total gross profit as a percent of sales
increased from 42.0% to 50.9% in such periods. Total research and development
expenditures were $226,141 or 10.3% of sales for the three months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $128,757 or 6.6% of sales for the three months ended June 30,
1998. Sales and marketing expenses increased from $518,793 for the three month
period ended June 30, 1998 to $613,655 for the three month period ended June 30,
1999. General and administrative expenses increased from $239,924 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 to $256,551 for the three months ended June 30, 1999,
primarily due to the factors discussed above. Interest income, interest expense
and other expenses remained relatively unchanged during the comparable periods.

As a result, the Company had net income of $10,784 or $.00 per share for the
three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to a net loss of $90,342 or $.02 per
share for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

VASCULAR DELIVERY SYSTEMS

Sales of vessel introducers, primarily to Medtronic under an exclusive
distribution arrangement, were $1,169,865 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $1,023,107 for the three months ended June 30, 1998,
representing a 14.3% increase. The Company benefited from the Medtronic
inventory build in April and then saw introducer kit orders moderate to a more
normal sell-through rate for the balance of the quarter. The Company expects
introducer sales in the third quarter to be consistent with the second quarter.

Contract manufacturing sales were $164,921 for the three months ended June 30,
1999, compared to $215,896 for the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to the
factors stated above. The Company expects contract manufacturing sales in the
third quarter to be consistent with those in the second quarter. The Company
also does some contract research and development work periodically for Medtronic
and realized sales of $14,157 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared
to $15,237 for the three months ended June 30, 1998.

The gross profit percentage on vessel introducers and contract manufacturing
totaled 51.7% for the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to 48.0% for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to the factors discussed above.

Total research and development expenditures were $113,263 or 8.4% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $21,281 or 1.7% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to the factors discussed above.

Selling expenses increased from $23,288 for the three months ended June 30, 1998
to $36,016 for the three months ended June 30, 1999, due to the factors
discussed above.

FIBER OPTIC

Sales of the Company's fiber optic pressure sensing products were $850,254 for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $684,963 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998, representing an 24.1% increase. Monitor sales increased
4.8% or $19,335 and catheter sales increased 54.0% or $139,577 over the
comparable period. The Company also saw increases in its accessory and service
sales totaling $6,379. The increase in monitor sales was primarily driven by a
higher average selling price. The Company anticipates that monitor sales will
accelerate more rapidly as the direct sales force continues to gain knowledge
about the products and the marketplace.

The gross profit percentage on fiber optic products totaled 49.5% or $421,152
for the three month period ended June 30, 1999 compared to 31.0% or $212,071 for
the three month period ended June 30, 1998, due to the factors discussed above.

Total research and development expenditures were $112,878 or 13.2% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1999, compared to $107,476 or 15.7% of sales for
the three months ended June 30, 1998, due to the factors discussed above.

Selling expenses increased from $506,796 for the three months ended June 30,
1998 to $577,639 for the three months ended June 30, 1999. The increase is
primarily due to salaries and travel for the direct sales force of approximately
$107,000. Commissions expense decreased approximately $36,000, due to the direct
sales force receiving a lower commission percentage on sales than the indirect
sales force.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999
was $69,615, consisting of net income of $37,280, adjusted for non-cash items of
depreciation and amortization of $183,825, plus a net change in operating assets
and liabilities of $151,490. The Company saw an increase in inventory during the
first six months of 1999 primarily due to larger catheter inventories as the
Company begins its transition to its S-series catheter.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$182,038. Equipment was purchased totaling $181,104 and the Company had
additions to patent rights totaling $934 during the period.

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1999 was
$86,933. The Company made principal debt payments of $22,860 and paid down
$64,073 on its line of credit in order to reduce interest expense.

As a result, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $822,699 as of June
30, 1999 compared to $1,022,055 at December 31, 1998. Working capital increased
from $1,890,029 as of December 31, 1998 to $1,927,646 as of June 30, 1999.

On April 29, 1999, the Company signed an extension through June 30, 2000 on its
revolving line of credit with a financial institution. The line was increased
from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000 and the agreement calls for interest at the rate
of 1.00% over the financial institution's base rate with no minimum interest
due. The availability under the line is subject to borrowing base requirements,
and advances are at the discretion of the lender. The line is secured by
substantially all of the Company's assets.

If sales and working capital needs meet the Company's estimates, the Company
believes its available cash and investments, along with borrowing availability
under its line of credit, will be sufficient to meet the Company's anticipated
operating expenses and cash requirements for the foreseeable future. If the
sales estimates are not realized or working capital requirements exceed those
anticipated, the Company may need to secure additional capital or, if capital is
not available, to curtail its marketing efforts.

YEAR 2000 DISCLOSURE

The Company has investigated the Year 2000 (Y2K) issue and how it will impact
the Company. The following is a summary of the investigation and progress to
date.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS

*    During 1997, the Company purchased, from a worldwide supplier and developer
     of information systems, an enterprise-wide software information system with
     written assurance from the developer that the system will correctly
     function across the year 2000. The system cost $115,000 and was purchased
     primarily because the Company needed a much stronger information system to
     run its business. Y2K compliance was a required criteria of the decision
     making process.
*    The Company regularly budgets 10-15 new computer purchases each year in
     order to keep its computers current. The new computers typically replace
     the oldest computers and the old computers are discarded. The


                                       10
<PAGE>


     Company has purchased 10 new computers at a total cost of approximately
     $25,000. The Company believes that with the purchase of these 10 computers,
     substantially all of its computers will be Y2K compliant. To the extent
     that one or several computers are not Y2K compliant, the Company believes
     that it will not have a material adverse effect on operations.
*    The Company upgraded all of its computer users to Microsoft Office 97 in
     1998. According to Microsoft, the Microsoft Office 97 products are all Y2K
     compliant. The total cost of this upgrade was approximately $3,000.

INTERNAL EQUIPMENT/MACHINES

*    The Company has compiled a list of internal equipment and machines that may
     have embedded chips which could be subject to the Y2K problem. As of July
     12, 1999, approximately 75% of the list has been investigated and no Y2K
     issues were discovered. The remaining portion of the list should be
     completed by the middle of August and if any Y2K issues are identified, the
     Company plans to work towards bringing these pieces of equipment into
     compliance by September 30, 1999. The estimated total cost of bringing this
     equipment into Y2K compliance is $15,000.

COMPANY PRODUCTS

*    During 1998, the Company reviewed all of the products it develops, markets
     and sells and believes that its products are Y2K compliant.

MATERIAL THIRD PARTIES

*    The Company has sent out Y2K compliance letters to all of its suppliers.
     The Company does not conduct any business with its suppliers using EDI
     technology, so the primary risk associated with its suppliers is in their
     ability to deliver materials to the Company in a timely manner. Because of
     the diversity of sources available for the Company's raw materials and
     subassemblies, the Company believes that any Y2K issues will not have a
     material impact. If the Company's suppliers have difficulty overcoming the
     Y2K issue and are unable to ship supplies in a timely manner, the Company
     may have to build higher inventories at the end of the year or risk slower
     deliveries in the first quarter of 2000.
*    The Company conducts all of its banking (disbursements, lockbox,
     investments, credit line) with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. The Company has
     contacted Norwest Bank to determine its Y2K readiness. The Company was
     informed that Norwest is ready for the year 2000 and that it will be
     confirming this in writing. If Norwest is not Y2K compliant by the year
     2000, the Company would have difficulty in transacting business with its
     customers and its vendors.

Overall the Company believes that Y2K issues will not have a material adverse
effect on the Company's financial position, operations or cash flow; however,
there can be no assurance that such will be the case.

provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain

between MEDAMICUS, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the "Borrower"), and WELLS
FARGO CREDIT, INC. f/k/a NORWEST CREDIT, INC., a Minnesota corporation (the

                                    Recitals

            The Borrower and the Lender have entered into a Credit and Security

unless otherwise defined herein. In addition, Section 1.1 of the Credit
Agreement is amended by adding or amending, as the case may be, the following
definitions:

            "'Borrowing Base' means, at any time and subject to change from time
      to time in the Lender's sole discretion, the lesser of:

            (a)   the Maximum Line; or

            (b)   the sum of

($2,000,000) or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Advances
made by the Lender to the Borrower under the Credit and Security Agreement dated
as of March 5, 1996 by and between the Lender and the Borrower (as the same may
be amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the "Credit Agreement")
together with interest on the principal amount hereunder remaining unpaid from
