              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                FOR THE PERIODS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994


A.    GENERAL

      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. ("CMS") and its wholly owned subsidiary Cryo
      Instruments, Inc. ("CII"), collectively referred to as the "Company," is
      engaged in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of
      products for use in the field of hypothermic (low-temperature) medicine.

      The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995, the Consolidated
      Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended
      December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
      for the six-month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, have been
      prepared without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
      necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
      operations, and cash flows at December 31, 1995, and for all periods then
      ended, have been recorded.  All adjustments recorded were of a normal
      recurring nature.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
      that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
      the financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June
      30, 1995 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
      year ended June 30, 1995.

      The results of operations for the periods ended December 31, 1995 are not
      necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the
      fiscal year ending June 30, 1996.

B.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

      Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common
      shares outstanding during the three months and six months ended December
      31, 1995 and 1994.  No effect has been given to unexercised stock options
      or warrants because the effect would be antidilutive.

D.    CONTINGENCIES

      On October 26, 1995, the Company received 510(k) marketing clearance from
      the FDA for its CMS Urethral Warmer System ("Warmer") clearing the
      product for marketing in the United States.

      Subsequent to the quarter ended March 31, 1994, in which quarter the
      Company announced receipt of the correspondence from the FDA denying an
      earlier application by the Company for 510(k) premarket clearance of the
      Warmer, CMS AccuProbe System sales in the urological field slowed
      significantly.  The Company believes that this was due, in part, to
      uncertainty regarding the status of the Warmer and the availability of
      alternatives.  The Company believes that the use of alternative warming
      methods resulted in reports of increased complications related to the
      urethral warming procedures.  The Company believes that these anecdotal
      reports of increased complications may have affected the rate of sales of
      AccuProbe Systems during the period ended December 31, 1995.  However,
      the Company believes that the lack of uniform medical insurance
      reimbursement policies, which policies have not yet been established, was
      the most significant factor affecting sales of AccuProbe Systems in
      recent months.

      In April 1994, present or former stockholders of the Company filed
      several suits against the Company, its President and CEO and two other
      directors in the United States District Court for the District of
      Maryland.  The suits were subsequently consolidated under Case No.
      AW-94-873, and a consolidated amended complaint was

      filed.  The plaintiffs sought to have the consolidated action designated
      as a class action on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company's
      stock between September 13, 1991 and April 4, 1994.  The plaintiffs
      claimed that, during that period, the defendants inflated the market
      price of the Company's stock in violation of the federal securities laws
      and the common law.  On April 26, 1995, the Court dismissed a major
      portion of the action against the Company and dismissed the plaintiffs'
      claims against the individual defendants in their entirety.  In September
      1995, the parties reached an agreement to settle the case.  The
      settlement is subject to approval by the Court, which is scheduled to
      hold a hearing to consider this issue on February 15, 1996.  Currently,
      the deadline for submitting claims is June 25, 1996.  Pursuant to the
      agreement, a class consisting of all persons who purchased the Company's
      stock between September 13, 1991 and April 4, 1994 has been certified
      solely for settlement purposes.  The agreement provides that, in return
      for a general release of all claims which members of the class may have
      against the Company and its past and present officers, directors,
      employees and other agents, the Company will pay $100,000 in cash (which
      payment has already been paid) and will issue shares of common stock of
      the Company with a market value of $350,000, based on the average closing
      price on the ten trading days prior to district court approval of the
      settlement.  The Company accrued the entire $450,000 settlement cost of
      the stockholder class action suit as of June 30, 1995.  The $350,000 of
      common stock to be issued was recorded as additional paid in capital at
      June 30, 1995.  The plaintiffs' counsel intend to apply to the Court for
      an award of fees equal to approximately one third of the gross amount of
      the settlement proceeds, as well as for reimbursement of the out of
      pocket expenses they incurred during the course of litigation.  In the
      event that the settlement is approved by the Court, the settlement
      proceeds, minus any amounts paid to the plaintiffs' counsel and the costs
      of administering the settlement, including the costs of notice to the
      class, will be distributed to those members of the class who submit
      timely claims, in proportion to the investment losses they have suffered
      on shares they purchased during the class period.  Members of the class
      who did not wish to participate in the settlement were permitted to opt
      out of the class if they gave written notice postmarked no later than
      February 1, 1996.  To date, the Company has received such notices from
      persons who purchased approximately 430,000 shares of the Company's stock
      during the class period.  The Company has settled the litigation solely
      to avoid the expenses that would be involved in defending the suit
      between now and its conclusion.  Those expenses were expected to exceed
      the amount of the cash consideration being paid in the settlement.  The
      defendants have admitted no liability and continue to believe that the
      suits are without merit.  In the event that the





                                       8
<PAGE>   9

      settlement is not finally approved, or in the event that shareholders who
      elected to opt out of the class assert similar claims in a new action,
      the Company will continue to defend its position vigorously.

      On or about October 19, 1995, the Company was served with a complaint
      alleging gender bias which had been filed by a female former employee who
      claims that she was discriminated against with respect to her salary and
      also with respect to the decision to terminate her employment as part of
      a reduction in work force.  The suit was filed in the Circuit Court for
      Montgomery County, Maryland and subsequently removed to the United States
      District Court for the District of Maryland.  The claims are asserted
      under both Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay
      Act.  The plaintiff is seeking reinstatement with back pay, as well as
      compensatory and punitive damages.  The case is in the early stages of
      discovery.  The Company intends to defend this case vigorously.

E.    TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING COMMON STOCK

      In November 1995 the Company issued 25,000 shares of Common Stock to a
      former officer of the Company in connection with the exercise of options
      from the Employee Stock Option Plan.

F.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On January 17, 1996 the Company received $1,910,000 of net proceeds
      related to a convertible preferred stock sale to several foreign
      investors.  According to the terms of the convertible preferred stock,
      investors may convert 50% of their shares into common stock forty days
      subsequent to the January 16, 1996 closing at a conversion rate
      determined by the average closing bid prices for five days immediately
      preceding the date the holder notifies the Company of their intention to
      convert preferred shares into common shares (the average of such closing
      bid prices being referred to as "average bid price").  If the average bid
      price is $2.00 or less, then the conversion price shall equal 82.5% of
      the average bid price.  If the average bid price is $2.01 or more, the
      conversion price shall equal 80% of the average bid price.  Investors may
      convert the balance of their preferred stock into common stock
      seventy-five days after the closing.  Any shares of the convertible
      preferred stock outstanding on January 16, 1997, automatically shall be
      converted into Common Stock.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


      The Company is engaged in the research, development, manufacture and
marketing of products for use in the field of hypothermic (low-temperature)
medicine.  The Company has developed a cryosurgical system, called the CMS
AccuProbe(R) System (the "AccuProbe"), which is a sophisticated cryosurgical
device designed to freeze and destroy unwanted (diseased) tissue.  The initial
clinical focus of physicians with respect to the AccuProbe has been in the
fields of urology and general surgery, primarily to destroy tissue which cannot
be removed surgically or in which typical surgery offers extensive adverse side
effects.  The Company plans to further test and market its AccuProbe in certain
of the various fields for which the original 400 series device received
clearance from the FDA in April 1991 and the 500 series received FDA clearance
in December 1995.  The CMS AccuProbe is cleared for marketing in the fields of
dermatology, general surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology,
oncology, proctology and urology.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Sales and other operating revenues for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1995 totaled $1,662,728 and $3,682,150, respectively, compared to
$4,590,413 and $7,896,370, respectively, for the comparable periods of the
prior fiscal year, representing decreases of 64% and 53%, respectively.  The
Company's operating revenues in the three months ended December 31, 1995
included sales of 3 CMS AccuProbe Systems, disposable probes and other
accessories.  Sales for the three months ended December 31, 1994 included 14
AccuProbe Systems, in addition to disposable probes and other accessory
products.  Operating revenues for the six months ended December 31, 1995
included sales of 9 AccuProbe Systems, disposable probes and other accessories
compared to sales of 24 systems, disposable probes and other accessories in the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The Company believes revenues in
the three and six month periods ended December 31, 1995 reflect a decline in
the number of AccuProbe systems sold due primarily to lack of formal Medicare
reimbursement for urologic cryosurgery.  Sales in each quarter are also subject
to substantial variation, depending upon the success of marketing efforts and
the timing of orders.  The Company hopes that the separate FDA clearances of
the CMS Urethral Warmer in October 1995 and of the AccuProbe 500 series in
December 1995 will restore system, disposable probe and other accessory revenue
to previous levels, although there can be no assurance of increased revenue
from these sources.  Through December 31, 1995, the Company has sold a total of
131 AccuProbe Systems since the product was introduced in June 1992.

      Included in sales and other operating revenues are ultrasound systems
produced by third party manufacturers and sold in conjunction with certain
AccuProbe Systems as a convenience to the customer.  There was no ultrasound
revenue for the three and six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to
$552,488 and $672,288 respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior
fiscal year.





                                       10
<PAGE>   11

      Gross Profits for all products for the three months ended December 31,
1995 totaled $930,574, or 56% of sales, compared to gross profits of
$2,390,069, or 52% of sales, for the three months ended December 31, 1994.  For
the six months ended December 31, 1995 gross profits totaled $2,042,474, or 55%
of sales, compared to gross profits of $4,076,173, or 52% of sales, for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  Gross profits as a percent of
sales increased in the three and six months ended December 31, 1995 as compared
to the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year as cost reductions were
continued by the Company.

      Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 31,
1995 totaled $343,853, a decrease of 53% compared to $728,166 for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  Research and development expenses
decreased for the six months ended December 31, 1995 totaled $705,905, a
decrease of 56% compared to $1,606,247, in the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year.  Research and development expenses decreased during the three and
six month periods ended December 31, 1995 due to a reduction in staffing and a
temporary reduction of research grants related to the development of the
Company's hypothermic solutions, reflecting cost reduction measures effected by
the Company.

      Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 1995
totaled $634,459, a decrease of 40% compared to $1,065,940 for the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year.  Sales and marketing expenses for the six
months ended December 31,1995 totaled $1,266,436, a decrease of 30% compared to
$1,808,721 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  Sales and
marketing expenses decreased during these periods due to a reduction in
staffing and reduced marketing activity.

      General and administrative expenses for three months ended December 31,
1995 totaled $585,534, a decrease of 35% compared to $903,600 for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  General and administrative
expenses for the six months ended December 31, 1995 totaled $1,077,910,  a
decrease of 26% compared to $1,463,170 for the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year.  General and administrative expenses decreased in the more recent
periods due to a reduction in staffing and reduced professional fees.

      As a result of the foregoing decrease in operating expenses, which were
offset by decreased gross profits from sales, the Company sustained net losses
of $630,770 and $1,003,497, respectively, for the three and six months ended
December 31, 1995 compared to net losses of $288,990 and $772,777,
respectively,  in the comparable periods of the prior fiscal year.

      Sales of the AccuProbe are effected by the level of reimbursement by
public and private insurers in connection with procedures in which the
AccuProbe is utilized.  The availability of consistent, uniform insurance
reimbursement guidelines for hospitals and physicians is an important factor
often considered by some potential customers when making a decision regarding
the purchase of any new medical device, including the AccuProbe System.
Reimbursement of hospitals and urologists by public and private





                                       11
<PAGE>   12
insurers such as Medicare and Blue Cross and Blue Shield is a necessary part of
gaining general acceptance for use of the AccuProbe for urological cryosurgery.
Currently Medicare considers urological cryosurgical procedures to be
investigational and excludes such procedures from reimbursement, although
Medicare carriers may pay for such procedures if the carriers decide that the
use of the AccuProbe is appropriate for the patients involved.  No national
payment guidelines for such surgery have yet been established by either
Medicare's Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA") or by the National
Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association.  Therefore, insurer's reimbursement
decisions are made on an insurer-by-insurer or case-by-case basis.  While
payments received by customers vary significantly by region and insurer,
widespread formal reimbursement acceptance has yet to be achieved.  When
insurance coverage is not available, patients may either elect to pay for
treatment themselves or undergo traditional therapies which are covered by
their insurers.  The Company cannot predict if or when national coverage
guidelines for Medicare, Blue Cross and Blue Shield or any other insurance
carriers will be instituted for this form of surgery.  The Company believes the
uncertainty and added efforts required for the Company's customers to secure
payment is impacting sales growth and utilization of AccuProbe Systems to some
degree and, if so, may continue to do so unless and until formal national
coverage guidelines are established.

In view of the operating losses suffered by the Company and the level of the
Company's current liquid resources (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources"
below), in May and October 1995 the Company undertook certain actions to reduce
expense levels, as described above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At December 31, 1995, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments totaling $828,350 and working capital of $2,671,741, as
compared to $1,217,693 and $3,775,893, respectively, at June 30, 1995.  The
Company's cash and working capital positions decreased from June 30, 1995 due
primarily to the net loss of $1,003,497 sustained by the Company for the six
months ended December 31, 1995.  Subsequent to December 31, 1995, the Company
received $1,910,000 of net proceeds from a convertible preferred stock sale to
several foreign investors.  The proceeds from this offering will be utilized
for working capital and to finance the introduction of the Company's new
AccuProbe 500 series.

      Capital expenditures for leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment
totaled $38,342 in the six months ended December 31, 1995, compared to $173,268
in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The Company has budgeted
$485,000 for additional equipment and furniture in the year ending June 30,
1996.

      The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures over the remainder
of fiscal 1995 and in fiscal 1996 related to research, development,
manufacturing and testing of its products and for sales and marketing efforts
and other operating expenses.  The Company's management believes that its
current cash and working capital position will be sufficient to fund the
operations of the Company for the next 12 months dependent, in part, on the
level of sales revenues achieved, the level of sales and marketing activity
engaged





                                       12
<PAGE>   13
in by the Company, and the amounts of research funded by the Company.  However,
the Company may pursue various forms of short term financing in addition to the
recently completed equity financing.  Except for the sale of its products, the
Company has no other major sources of liquidity and has no commitments with
regard to obtaining any additional funds.
