           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICY

BUSINESS:
Cardiotronics Systems, Inc. ("Cardiotronics") and its wholly-owned subsidiary,
R2 Medical Systems, Inc. ("R2") develops, manufactures and markets disposable
medical devices for the acute treatment of heart rate disorders ( Cardiotronics
and R2 are collectively referred to herein as "the Company").

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICY:
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company
without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosure normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures herein are
adequate  to make the information not misleading.  All material intercompany
profits, transactions and balances are eliminated upon consolidation.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
statement of the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1996, and the
results of its operations and its cash flow.  These results are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.  The
financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

USE OF ESTIMATES:
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE:
Losses per common share are calculated using the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding during the period.  This computation excludes
convertible preferred stock and options outstanding, since their effect would be
anti-dilutive.  All per share amounts have been restated to reflect the one for
four reverse split on common stock effective June 21, 1995.

NOTE 1 - BUSINESS AND STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICY (CONTINUED)

RECLASSIFICATIONS:
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1995 financial statements to
conform them to the 1996 presentation.

NOTE 2 - NOTES PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS

On March 19, 1996, the Company issued demand notes (the "Notes") and borrowed
$500,000 from two of its major shareholders.  The Notes are unsecured,
subordinated to the Company's bank loan and have an interest rate of 7% per
annum.  The proceeds were used to fund cash used in operations.  As of June 30,
1996, the Company has demand notes outstanding of $2,183,500 from Warburg,
Pincus Investors, L. P. ("Warburg") and $316,500 from the Vertical Fund
Associates, L. P. ("Vertical") which carry an average interest rate of 6.6%.
The Company is not currently making interest payments on the outstanding
balance.  Accrued interest payable at June 30, 1996, was approximately $78,400
and $11,400 to Warburg and Vertical, respectively.

NOTE 3 - LITIGATION AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is a defendant in various actions, claims and legal proceedings
arising from normal business operations.  Management believes they have
meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend against all allegations
and claims.  As the ultimate outcome of the matters is uncertain, no contingent
liabilities or provisions have been recorded in the accompanying financial
statements for such matters.  However, in management's opinion, based upon
discussion with legal counsel, liabilities arising from these matters, if any,
will not have a material adverse affect on the consolidated financial position
or results of operations.

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

OVERVIEW

The Company's business is the successor to the operations of Cardiotronics,
Inc., a company incorporated in Colorado in April 1987.  As a result of a stock
transfer and exchange in August 1989, Cardiotronics, Inc. became a majority
owned subsidiary of Encore Ventures, Ltd., a public company incorporated in
Colorado in April 1988.  In November 1989, Encore Ventures, Ltd. changed its
name to Cardiotronics Systems, Inc.  A merger between the Company and its
majority owned subsidiary, Cardiotronics, Inc. was completed in December 1992.
In September 1994, the Company acquired all of the outstanding common stock of
R2 Medical Systems, Inc., a manufacturer of stimulation electrodes and cabling
systems.

For purposes of this discussion and analysis, the three months ended June 30,
1995 and 1996 are referred to as the 1995 Second Quarter and 1996 Second
Quarter, respectively, and the six months ended June 30 ,1995 and 1996 are
referred to as the 1995 First Half and 1996 First Half, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

For the 1996 Second Quarter, net cash provided by operations was $67,107 as 
compared to net cash used in operations of $(1,078,373) for the 1995 Second 
Quarter.  For the 1996 First Half, net cash used in operations was $(341,938) 
compared to $(1,895,260) in the 1995 First Half.  The decrease in net cash 
used in operations was due primarily to the decrease in the net loss from the 
1996 Second Quarter compared to the 1995 Second Quarter and from the 1996 
First Half compared to the 1995 First Half.  This was partially offset by a 
decrease in accrued expenses related to the cost containment programs 
implemented during the fourth quarter of 1995.

On March 19, 1996, the Company issued a demand note and borrowed $500,000 from
two shareholders at 7% interest per annum.  The proceeds were used to fund cash
used in operations  (see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements).


The Company will continue to use net cash in operating activities as long as 
net losses continue to be significant, resulting in a need for external 
sources of financing.  Management is currently in the process of extending 
the bank line of credit.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had borrowing 
availability under the bank credit line of $500,000.  The Company has a 
written commitment from Warburg, a significant preferred shareholder, to 
provide sufficient funds to continue operations through December 31, 1996, if 
necessary.

The Company currently plans to spend approximately $50,000 for capital
expenditures during the remainder of 1996.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SALES
Sales increased from the 1995 Second Quarter to the 1996 Second Quarter by 
$705,213, or 36%, and increased from the 1995 First Half to the 1996 First 
Half by $1,114,423, or 29%.  This increase is due primarily to increased 
volumes of stimulation electrodes to both retail and OEM customers.  There 
was a slight decline in retail selling prices and a slight increase in OEM 
selling prices in the 1996 First Half when compared to the 1995 First Half.

Management believes that the Company's continued sales growth will depend on 
unit volume growth resulting from market acceptance of the clinical 
advantages of stimulation electrodes and the ability to maintain current 
selling price levels despite pressure from both its retail and OEM customers.

GROSS MARGIN
    The gross margin percentage increased from 40.7% in the 1995 Second 
Quarter to 45.1% in the 1996 Second Quarter due primarily to significant 
start-up costs associated with the transfer of the manufacturing of R2 
products to California during the second quarter of 1995.  The gross margin 
percentage was 47.7% for both the 1995 First Half and the 1996 First Half.  A 
shift in the sales mix toward a higher percentage of lower margin OEM 
products sold in the 1996 First Half offset the reductions in costs 
associated with the start-up costs incurred in the 1995 First Half and not in 
the 1996 First Half.

SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES
Selling and marketing expenses in the 1996 Second Quarter decreased $282,213 
compared to the 1995 Second Quarter.  Selling and marketing expenses in the 
1996 First Half decreased $413,109 compared to the 1995 First Half.  This is 
primarily due to decreases in field sales personnel costs, the elimination of 
certain promotional costs and reductions in interface systems expense.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
General and administrative expenses in the 1996 Second Quarter declined by 
$347,027 compared to the 1995 Second Quarter.  General and administrative 
expenses in the 1996 First Half declined $464,023 compared to the 1995 First 
Half.  This is due primarily to decreases in personnel costs and the 
consolidation of the operations of R2 which was completed during the second 
quarter of 1995.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development expenses increased $53,863 from the 1995 Second 
Quarter to the 1996 Second Quarter and increased $75,693 from the 1995 First 
Half to the 1996 First Half primarily due to personnel and related costs 
associated with the development of new product lines in 1996. An increase in 
personnel expenses at the Company's headquarters in Carlsbad was partially 
offset by a reduction in personnel expenses at R2's former facility in Chicago.

PATENT LITIGATION EXPENSES
Patent litigation expenses decreased $394,921 from the 1995 Second Quarter to 
the 1996 Second Quarter and decreased $727,931 from the 1995 First Half to 
the 1996 First Half due primarily to the high level of discovery expense in 
the 1995 First Half related to litigation with Katecho, Inc., ("Katecho") 
which asserts that the Company's patents are being violated by Katecho.  
Management believes that the trial with Katecho, which has been scheduled 
for the fourth quarter of 1996, could cost approximately $500,000.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLE ASSETS
The decrease in amortization of intangible assets of $63,571 from the 1995 
Second Quarter to the 1996 Second Quarter and $126,435 from the 1995 First 
Half to the 1996 First Half is due to the $3.4 million write-down of goodwill 
during the fourth quarter of 1995.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE)
Interest expense increased $33,436 from the 1995 Second Quarter to the 1996 
Second Quarter and $63,128 from the 1995 First Half to the 1996 First Half 
due primarily to the $2,400,000 increase in notes payable at June 30, 1996 
compared to June 30, 1995.
