NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

1.   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include
     Laserscope (the "Company") and its wholly and majority-owned subsidiaries.
     All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. While the
     financial information in this report is unaudited, in the opinion of
     management, all adjustments (which included only normal recurring
     adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position and results
     of operations as of and for the periods indicated have been recorded.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
     accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements
     and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those reported. It
     is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be read in
     conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
     thereto for the year ended December 31, 1996 included in the Company's
     annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 1996. The
     results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
     1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full
     year.

2.   Inventory was comprised of the following (in thousands):

</TABLE>

     (See note 7 for a description of the impact from the NWL Laser-Technologie
     acquisition.)

3.   Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares of
     common stock outstanding and dilutive common equivalent shares from stock
     options (using the treasury stock method).

4.   The Company invests its excess cash in investment grade debt instruments.
     The Company considers cash equivalents to be financial instruments that are
     readily convertible to cash, subject to no more than insignificant interest
     rate risk and that have original maturities of three months or less.

     At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 the Company's cash equivalents were
     in the form of institutional money market accounts and totaled $0.6 million
     and $1.8 million, respectively. At June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996 the
     Company had no investment in debt securities.

5.   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     No. 128, "Earnings Per Share", which is required to be adopted on December
     31, 1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method
     currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
     periods. Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
     share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact of
     Statement 128 is expected to increase primary earnings per share in each of
     the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997 by $0.01 per share and
     to have no material effect on the primary earnings per share for 



                                       6
<PAGE>   7
     the corresponding periods in 1996. The impact of Statement 128 on the
     calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these periods is not
     expected to be material.

6.   On August 30, 1996 the Company completed the acquisition of Heraeus
     Surgical, Inc. ("HSI"). The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
     Accordingly, the operating results of HSI are included in the Company's
     consolidated results of operations for the quarter and six months ended
     June 30, 1997; however, such HSI results are not included in the Company's
     consolidated results of operations for the corresponding periods in 1996.

7.   In March 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with NWL
     Laser-Technologie ("NWL") whereby the Company paid approximately $1.6
     million in exchange for a cross-distribution and development agreement,
     minority equity position in NWL and an option to purchase all of the
     ownership interests in NWL.

     On June 13, 1997, the Company exercised its option and increased its
     ownership interest to 52% of NWL. The purchase price was allocated to the
     acquired assets and liabilities based on Company estimates of their
     respective fair values. The consolidation of the acquired assets and
     liabilities significantly impacted the Company's Balance Sheet at June 30,
     1997 as depicted in the following tables:

     The approximate purchase price for the NWL acquisition was (in thousands):

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

Except for the historical information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, the matters discussed herein are forward-looking statements made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Investors are cautioned that all forward-looking statements are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ
materially from those projected. Factors that could cause actual results to
differ materially include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with the
acquisitions of Heraeus Surgical, Inc. ("HSI") and NWL Laser-Technologie, GmbH
("NWL"), including the integration of the operations and assets acquired and the
assumption of the liabilities assumed by Laserscope, the timing of orders and
shipments, the Company's ability to balance its inventory and production
schedules, the timely development, clearance by the F.D.A. and other regulatory
agencies and market acceptance of new products and surgical/therapeutic
procedures, the impact of competitive products and pricing, the Company's
ability to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, the
Company's ability to expand further into international markets, and public
policy relating to health care reform in the United States and other countries.

The Company desires to continue expansion of its operations outside of the
United States and to enter additional international markets, requiring
significant management attention and financial resources and further subjecting
the Company to the risks of operating internationally. These risks include
unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, delays resulting from difficulty
in obtaining export licenses for certain technology, customs, tariffs and other
barriers and restrictions, and the burdens of complying with a variety of
foreign laws. The Company is also subject to general geopolitical risks in
connection with its international operations, such as political and economic
instability and changes in diplomatic and trade relationships. The Company
cannot predict whether quotas, duties, taxes or other charges or restrictions
will be imposed by the United States, Japan, countries in the European Union or
other countries upon the import or export of the Company's products in the
future, or what effect any such actions would have on its business, financial
condition or results of operations. In addition, fluctuations in currency
exchange rates may negatively impact the Company's ability to compete in terms
of price against products denominated in local currencies. In addition, there
can be no assurance that regulatory, geopolitical and other factors will not
adversely impact the Company's operations in the future or require the Company
to modify its current business practices.

Other risks are detailed from time to time in the Company's press releases and
other public disclosure filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), copies of which are available upon request from the Company. The
forward-looking statements included herein speak only as of the date hereof. The
Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements included
herein.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part I -- Item 1
of this Quarterly Report and the audited financial statements and notes thereto
and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 contained in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.

(a) expressed as a percentage of total net revenues.

The Company's results for the quarter and six month period ended June 30, 1997
were favorably impacted by the acquisition of a majority interest in NWL which
closed June 13, 1997. NWL contributed approximately $1.0 million in revenue and
$80 thousand in net income after distribution to minority interests during the
period from the closing date until June 30, 1997. The Company believes that
these results are not indicative of a normal two week period but reflect a
shipment pattern whereby a significant portion of a quarter's shipments may take
place in the latter part of the quarter.

Net revenues increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 1997
relative to the corresponding periods of 1996 as a combined result of higher
unit shipments of the Company's laser systems at lower average selling prices,
higher shipments of instrumentation, shipments of products and sales of services
acquired in the acquisition of HSI completed in August 1996 and shipments of
products acquired in the acquisition of NWL completed in June 1997.

Revenues from the sales of laser systems increased during the quarter and six
month periods ended June 30, 1997 relative to the same periods in 1996 primarily
due to higher unit shipments of the Company's Aura office lasers and to a lesser
extent, sales of lasers acquired in the acquisitions of HSI and NWL. Average
unit prices decreased during these periods as a combined result of the greater
shipments of lower priced Aura office laser units as well as increased shipments
to independent international distributors. The Company believes that the
continuing trend toward reduced health care costs in the United States is still
a factor which continues to impact negatively capital equipment procurement by
its hospital customers in the United States. As a result, the Company expects
that its revenue mix trends for laser equipment in the U.S. market will continue
to shift toward its lower priced Aura office laser.

The increase in revenues from the sales of instrumentation and disposable
supplies during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 compared to the
corresponding periods in 1996 is principally attributable to increased shipments
of scanning devices sold as accessories to the Aura office laser system,
partially offset by lower shipments of side-firing devices which the Company
sells for use in prostate surgeries. The decreases in percentage of net revenues
were primarily the result of revenues from the sales of lasers and AMS equipment
increasing at a faster rate than revenues from the sales of instrumentation and
disposable supplies.



                                       10

The Company believes that acceptance of lasers in aesthetic surgery,
dermatology, urology, and ear, nose and throat surgery will continue to be
important to its business. In addition, the adoption of photodynamic therapy by
medical practitioners will be important. The Company continues to invest in
developing new instrumentation for emerging surgical applications and to educate
surgeons in the United States and internationally to encourage the adoption of
such new applications. However, there can be no assurance that such investments
will encourage adoption of the Company's products. Finally, penetration of the
international market, although increasing, has been limited.

The decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net sales during the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1997 relative to the corresponding periods of 1996 is
due in part to revenues generated from sales of AMS products. These products
generally generate lower gross margins than product lines that the Company
manufactures. In addition, a higher proportion of revenues from sales to
independent international distributors were generated during the first half of
1997 than in the first half of 1996. These revenues generally generate lower
gross margins than those generated by revenues from sales through the Company's
direct sales force. The Company expects that gross margin as a percentage of
revenues for the remainder of 1997 may vary from quarter to quarter as it
continues to balance production volumes and inventory levels with product demand
and as product and distribution mix varies.

Research and development expenses, are the result of activities related to the
development of new laser, instrumentation and disposable products and the
enhancement of the Company's existing products. The decrease in spending as a
percentage of net revenues during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997
was due principally to the increase in revenues resulting from the acquisition
of HSI without comparable increases in spending on research and development. The
Company acts as a distributor for the majority of the AMS product line, and, as
such, the research and development activity required to support these products
is minimal The Company expects to increase amounts spent in research and
development on non-AMS products during 1997; however, as a percentage of total
net revenues, the Company expects these amounts to vary from quarter to quarter
as net revenues change.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1997 primarily results from new personnel acquired
by the Company in the HSI acquisition. The Company expects these amounts to
remain at similar levels during the remainder of 1997 as the Company continues
to invest in international expansion, marketing programs and educational
support.

During the quarters and six months ended June 30, 1997 the Company recorded
income tax provisions representing effective tax rates of 22% and 16%,
respectively, compared to tax provisions representing effective tax rates of 12%
in each of the corresponding periods in 1996. The 1997 tax rates are higher than
the 1996 rates due to the combined effect of higher tax rates on the income
generated by NWL partially offset by lower effective rates in 1997 than in 1996
due to the impact of non-deductible acquisition related charges in 1996. Both
years' tax rates are below the combined federal and state statutory rates due to
the utilization of available net operating loss carryforwards.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:

The following table contains selected balance sheet information which serves as
the basis of the discussion of the Company's liquidity and capital resources at
June 30, 1997 and for the six months then ended (in thousands):

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
                               JUNE 30,    DECEMBER 31,
                                1997          1996
                              --------------------------
<S>                             <C>           <C>    
Cash and cash equivalents       $ 1,837       $ 3,917
Total assets                    $52,944       $44,469
Net working capital             $21,217       $18,444
</TABLE>

The net decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the six month period was
due principally to the combination of cash used by operating activities of $3.2
million, capital expenditures of $2.0 million and the $1.0 million paid for the
acquisition of a majority interest in NWL, offset by proceeds from the sale of
common stock pursuant to option exercises of $1.3 million and net short-term
bank borrowings of $2.6 million.

Significant components of cash used by operating activities included an increase
in accounts receivable of $2.4 million, an increase in inventory of $0.8 million
and decreases to accounts payable and accrued compensation of $2.0 million and
$1.0 million, respectively. The Company believes that the increase to accounts
receivable was due to longer collection cycles for sales by its international
subsidiaries, particularly in France and similarly long collection cycles for
sales to its AMS customers.

The Company anticipates that future changes in cash and working capital will be
dependent on a number of factors. As a result of the acquisitions of HSI and
NWL, the Company's Balance Sheet liquidity ratios changed and the Company's
ability to generate cash will be partially dependent on management's ability to
manage effectively non-cash assets such as inventory and accounts receivable. In
addition, the level of profitability of the Company will have a significant
impact on cash resources.

From time to time, the Company may also consider the acquisition of, or evaluate
investments in, certain products and businesses complementary to the Company's
business. Any such acquisition or investment may require additional capital
resources. The Company anticipates that current cash resources, internally
generated funds, capital and operating lease lines and available bank borrowings
will be sufficient to meet liquidity and capital needs at least through the next
twelve months. The Company financed the HSI and NWL acquisitions using its
existing cash resources. While the Company believes its remaining cash resources
will be sufficient to fund its short term operating needs, additional financing
either through its bank line of credit or otherwise will be required for the
Company's currently envisioned long term needs. There can be no assurance that
such additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company,
or at all.

The Company has in place a $5.0 million revolving bank line of credit which
expires in November 1997, under which $2.6 million in borrowings were
outstanding at June 30, 1997. In addition, NWL has in place various revolving
bank lines totaling approximately $2.0 million which expire at various dates
within the next year and under which approximately $1.7 million in borrowings
were outstanding at June 30, 1997.
