A.    GENERAL

      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the research,
      development, marketing and manufacture of products for use in the field of
      low-temperature medicine.

      The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 29, 1997, the Consolidated
      Statements of Operations for the three and six month periods ended June
      29, 1997 and June 30, 1996, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
      for the six month periods ended June 29, 1997 and June 30, 1996, 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 June 29, 1997, 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 six-month transition period
      ended December 29, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
      10-K for the six-month transition period ended December 29, 1996.

      The results of operations for the period ended June 29, 1997 are not
      necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the fiscal
      year ending December 28, 1997.

B.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

      Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common
      shares outstanding during the three and six month periods ended June 29,
      1997 and June 30, 1996. No effect has been given to unexercised stock
      options or warrants because the effect would be antidilutive.

D.    CONTINGENCIES

      In November 1996, the Company filed suit against EndoCare, Inc. and
      ZhoaHua Chang in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (Case
      No. 161496). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that EndoCare
      misappropriated trade secrets of Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., and that
      EndoCare tortiously interfered with the Company's contracts, its
      relationships with employees, and Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s contractual
      and potential business relationships with customers. The lawsuit, which
      contains six counts, also alleges that Dr. Chang and EndoCare engaged in
      unfair competition against the Company and civil conspiracy, and that Dr.
      Chang, who was formerly employed as a Vice President of Cryosurgical
      Engineering by Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., breached contractual and
      fiduciary obligations owed to the Company by his employment by EndoCare,
      his retention and misuse of Cryomedical Sciences' confidential
      information, and his improper solicitation of the Company's employees to
      disclose trade secret information and/or to become employed by EndoCare.
      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. has asserted that by accepting employment with
      EndoCare, Dr. Chang violated the covenant not to compete contained in his
      employment agreement with the Company. In an Order dated April 3, 1997,
      the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland has ordered a hearing on
      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s motion seeking a preliminary injunction to
      enforce the covenant not to compete contained in the employment agreement
      between the Company and Dr. Chang. In the hearing which occurred on July
      2, 1997, the Court issued a preliminary injunction against EndoCare,
      Inc.'s Vice President of Research and Development, Dr. Chang, and ordered
      Dr. Chang to terminate his employment with Endocare in any capacity, or
      any other entity in the research, development, production, marketing, sale
      or distribution of cryosurgical equipment in the United States, Canada,
      Europe and Taiwan, pending a full trial on

      the merits of Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s lawsuit against EndoCare and
      Dr. Chang. The Company is currently seeking compensatory damages of
      $10,000,000 and punitive damages of $20,000,000 in the lawsuit.

      On June 2, 1997, the Company received notice that Concept Group, Inc.
      ("Concept"), a vendor of the Company, had filed suit against the company
      in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
      Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. 97-W-3803. Concept alleges amongst other
      things that on or about January 1995, the Company filed a patent
      application constituting a breach in the Development Agreement between
      Concept and the Company. The lawsuit, which contains seven counts, seeking
      approximately $3,000,000, alleges the patent application filing by
      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. demonstrated a theft of proprietary information
      from the Plaintiff. Lastly, the Plaintiff believes and avers that shortly
      after January 1994 the Defendant embarked on a fraudulent scheme to place
      and cancel orders in an effort to financially ruin the Plaintiff and force
      early termination of the Development Agreement. The defendants have
      admitted no liability, believe the suits are completely without merit and
      will continue to defend the Company's position vigorously.


E.    NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per
      Share," was recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
      SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
      early adoption is not permitted.

      SFAS No. 128 requires the company to compute and present a basic and
      diluted earnings per share. Had the Company computed net loss per share in
      accordance with SFAS No. 128 for the three and six months ended June 29,
      1997, there would be no difference in the reported net loss per share.

      In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 130,
      "Reporting Comprehensive Income" was issued, which is effective for fiscal
      years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company will comply with all
      requirements no later than fiscal 1998.

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


      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s business activities focus primarily on
manufacture and marketing related to its cryosurgical systems (the "AccuProbe").
The Company plans to continue to market its AccuProbe Systems in 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. In
March 1997 the Company received FDA clearance for the AccuProbe 600 series and
submitted a 510(k) application for the new Cryo-lite(R) family of hand held
cryosurgical products. The CMS AccuProbe Systems are 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 June
29, 1997 totaled $860,462 and $1,847,310, respectively, compared to $1,135,207
and $3,161,800, respectively, for the comparable periods of the prior fiscal
year, representing decreases of 24% and 42%, respectively. The Company believes
revenues in the three and six months ended June 29, 1997 reflect a decline in
the number of AccuProbe Systems sold and fewer procedures performed using
single-use AccuProbe accessories due primarily to lack of formal Medicare
reimbursement for urologic cryosurgery. The Company hopes that the FDA clearance
of the CMS AccuProbe 600 series and the Cryo-lite(R) series hand-held
cryosurgical products will increase system, disposable probe and other accessory
revenue from current levels, although there can be no assurance in this regard.
Through June 29, 1997, the Company has placed a total of 149 AccuProbe Systems
since the product was introduced in June 1992.

      Gross Profits for all products for the three months ended June 29, 1997
totaled $199,768, or 23% of sales, compared to gross profits of $24,864, or 2%
of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1996. For the six months ended
June 29, 1997, gross profits totaled $842,124 or 46% of sales compared to gross
profits of $1,037,354, or 33% of sales, for the comparable period of the prior
fiscal year. Gross profits as a percent of sales increased in the six months
ended June 29, 1997, as compared to the comparable period of the prior fiscal
year due to a change in the mix in product sales, and continued cost reduction
measures by the Company.

      Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 29, 1997
totaled $318,638, a decrease of 31% compared to $465,110 for the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year. Research and development expenses for the six
months ended June 29, 1997, totaled $594,418, a decrease of 24%, compared to
$778,137 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Development expenses
decreased due to reduction in headcount and development of smaller, less
expensive products.

      Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended June 29, 1997
totaled $245,957, a decrease of 58% compared to $580,246 for the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses for the six months
ended June 29, 1997

                                        9

<PAGE>   10



totaled $449,107, a decrease of 62%, compared to $1,173,200 for the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year. Sales and marketing expenses decreased over the
comparable period of the previous year due to reduced headcount and the
associated reduction in travel and entertainment expenses.

      General and administrative expenses for three months ended June 29, 1997
totaled $332,884, a decrease of 66% compared to $969,720 for the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year. General and administrative expenses for the six
months ended June 29, 1997 totaled $602,583, a decrease of 60% compared to
$1,492,694 for the comparable period of the prior fiscal year. General and
administrative expenses decreased due to reductions in headcount, insurance
premiums and the use of consultants.

      Despite a reduction in revenues, compared to the prior year's comparable
period, the Company achieved decreases in operating expenses and increased gross
profits from product cost reductions, particularly in the first quarter of 1997.
As a result the Company sustained net losses of $637,491 and $727,791,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 1997 compared to net
losses of $1,988,082 and $2,400,750 in the comparable periods of the prior
fiscal year.

      Sales of the AccuProbe are increasingly affected 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 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. Although
no national payment guidelines for urological cryosurgery have been established
by Medicare's Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA"), the Company was
advised in October 1996 that HCFA is planning to put into effect its Technology
Advisory Committee's recommendation that a national noncoverage policy be
adopted in regard to cryoablation of the prostate. It is the Company's
understanding that HCFA is exploring the possibility of working with various
agencies, including the American Urology Association, in establishing a
nationwide randomized prospective clinical study to collect data on a
comparative basis between cryosurgery and radiation therapies. The results of
this study will provide the basis on which a future determination regarding
Medicare reimbursement will be made. 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. Uncertainty and added efforts
required for the Company's customers, or potential customers, to secure payment
has constrained sales and utilization of AccuProbe systems to a large degree and
may continue to do so until formal national coverage guidelines are established.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At June 29, 1997, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments totaling $884,081 and working capital of $2,323,088, as compared to
$1,879,393 and $3,164,304, respectively, at December 29, 1996. The Company's
cash and working capital positions decreased from December 29, 1996 due
primarily to purchases of equipment, reduction in accounts receivable and the
net loss of $727,791 sustained by the Company in the six months ended June 29,
1997.

      Capital expenditures for leasehold improvements, and equipment totaled
$275,030, including $135,426 in consignment and loaner AccuProbe Systems, in the
six months ended June 29, 1997, compared to $56,252 and $0 respectively, in the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year. The Company does not expect to spend
more than $750,000 in total for additional equipment in the year ending December
28, 1997.

      The Company expects to incur expenditures over the next 12 months related
to development, manufacturing and testing of its products and for sales and
marketing efforts and other operating expenses. The Company's management assumes
that sales for the remainder of the quarterly periods in 1997 may be less than
the level experienced in comparable year ago periods and 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 and marketing activity engaged in by the Company, and the amounts
of development funded by the Company. However, the Company expects to continue
to reduce expenditures if necessary and to pursue various forms of short term
financing to supplement working capital during the next 12 months and possibly
additional equity financing. Except for the sale of its products, the Company
currently has no other major sources of liquidity and has no commitments with
regard to obtaining any additional funds.

                           CRYOMEDICAL SCIENCES, INC.
                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1. Legal Proceedings

      In November 1996 the Company filed suit against EndoCare, Inc. and ZhoaHua
      Chang in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (Case No.
      161496). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that EndoCare
      misappropriated trade secrets of Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., and that
      EndoCare tortiously interfered with the Company's contracts, its
      relationships with employees, and Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s contractual
      and potential business relationships with customers. The lawsuit, which
      contains six counts, also alleges that Dr. Chang and EndoCare engaged in
      unfair competition against the Company and civil conspiracy, and that Dr.
      Chang, who was formerly employed as a Vice President of Cryosurgical
      Engineering by Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., breached contractual and
      fiduciary obligations owed to the Company by his employment by EndoCare,
      his retention and misuse of Cryomedical Sciences' confidential
      information, and his improper solicitation of the Company's employees to
      disclose trade secret information and/or to become employed by EndoCare.
      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. has asserted that by accepting employment with
      EndoCare, Dr. Chang violated the covenant not to compete contained in his
      employment agreement with the Company. In an Order dated April 3, 1997,
      the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland has ordered a hearing on
      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s motion seeking a preliminary injunction to
      enforce the covenant not to compete contained in the employment agreement
      between the Company and Dr. Chang. In the hearing which occurred on July
      2, 1997, the Court issued a preliminary injunction against EndoCare,
      Inc.'s Vice President of Research and Development, Dr. Chang, and ordered
      Dr. Chang to terminate his employment with EndoCare in any capacity, or
      any other entity in the research, development, production, marketing, sale
      or distribution of cryosurgical equipment in the United States, Canada,
      Europe and Taiwan, pending a full trial on the merits of Cryomedical
      Sciences, Inc.'s lawsuit against EndoCare and Dr. Chang. The Company is
      currently seeking compensatory damages of $10,000,000 and punitive damages
      of $20,000,000 in the lawsuit.

      On June 2, 1997, the Company received notice that Concept Group, Inc.
      ("Concept"), a vendor of the Company, had filed suit against the company
      in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
      Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. 97-W-3803. Concept alleges amongst other
      things that on or about January 1995, the Company filed a patent
      application constituting a breach in the Development Agreement between
      Concept and the Company. The lawsuit, which contains seven counts, seeking
      approximately $3,000,000, alleges the patent application filing by
      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. demonstrated a theft of proprietary information
      from the Plaintiff. Lastly, the Plaintiff believes and avers that shortly
      after January 1994 the Defendant embarked on a fraudulent scheme to place
      and cancel orders in an effort to financially ruin the Plaintiff and force
      early termination of the Development Agreement. The defendants have
      admitted no liability, believe the suits are completely without merit and
      will continue to defend the Company's position vigorously.
