                          Notes To Financial Statements

                                  July 31, 1996


1.    Organization and Description of Business

      Medwave,  Inc.  (the Company) is a development  stage  enterprise  engaged
      exclusively in the development of, and intends to market, manufacture, and
      sell,  a  proprietary,   non-invasive  system  that  continually  monitors
      arterial blood pressure of adults.


2.    Basis of Presentation

      The financial  information presented as of July 31, 1996 has been prepared
      from the books and records  without  audit.  Financial  information  as of
      April 30, 1996 is based on audited financial statements of the Company but
      does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
      principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only
      of normal recurring adjustments,  necessary for a fair presentation of the
      financial  information for the periods  indicated have been included.  For
      further information regarding the Company's accounting policies,  refer to
      the  financial  statements  and related  notes  included in the  Company's
      Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year-ended April 30, 1996.

3.    Public Offering

      In November 1995, the Company received the proceeds from an initial public
      offering of  1,610,000  shares of Common  Stock at $5.00 per share  before
      underwriting discount and offering expenses.

      The Company's shareholders, as a condition of the initial public offering,
      approved a plan of  recapitalization  whereby  all  convertible  preferred
      stock  automatically  converted  into an aggregate of 2,750,164  shares of
      Common  Stock.  As part of the  plan of  recapitalization,  the  Company's
      articles of  incorporation  were amended to, among other things,  increase
      the authorized  capital stock of the Company to 50,000,000  shares without
      par value.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operation

The following  discussion  should be read in conjunction  with, and is qualified
by, the Company's financial statements set forth in Item 1 of this Form 10-QSB.

Plan of Operation

The  Company,  which was formed in 1984,  is a  development  stage  company that
currently  employs  thirteen  full-time  employees and two part-time  employees.
Since its inception, the Company has been engaged exclusively in the development
of a non-invasive,  continual blood pressure  measurement and monitoring system.
The  Company's  initial  concept for  measuring  blood  pressure  was based upon
parameters  obtained  from a doppler  signal.  By 1991, it was evident that this
approach would not yield the desired  results,  so those efforts were abandoned.
However,  the Company  used  information  gained from these  initial  efforts to
direct its technical efforts to different approaches,  which eventually resulted
in the approach the Company now uses in its Vasotrac(TM) system. This innovative
system, the Vasotrac(TM) system,  includes as one of its key components a unique
pressure  sensor that is placed on the wrist over a main artery.  Utilizing  the
Company's  proprietary  technology,   the  Vasotrac(TM)  system  monitors  blood
pressure continually, providing new readings about every fifteen heartbeats. The
continual,  efficacious and non-invasive  qualities of the  Vasotrac(TM)  system
make it a new approach to blood pressure monitoring.


The Company is not presently  generating any significant revenue from operations
and has incurred an accumulated deficit of $5,977,775 from its inception through
July  31,  1996.   Significant  additional  losses  from,  among  other  things,
development,  testing, regulatory compliance, and sales expenses are expected to
be incurred by the Company at least until it emerges from the development stage.

Until  November 1995,  the Company  financed its activities  through a series of
private  placements of equity  securities,  including  shares of Preferred Stock
that were converted into Common Stock just prior to the Company's initial public
offering (IPO) in November, 1995.

The Company's success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing
of the  Vasotrac(TM)  system.  However,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  the
Vasotrac(TM)  system can ever by  successfully  marketed  or sold in  sufficient
quantities and at margins  necessary to achieve or maintain  profitability.  The
Company  received  its first order in August 1996,  and the Company  shipped the
first  Vasotrac(TM) to a customer in September 1996. If the Company emerges from
the  development  stage,  its  success  will also  depend on its ability to hire
additional employees for key operating positions,  including sales and marketing
positions.  Competition  for such  employees  is  intense  and  there  can be no
assurance  that the  Company  will be  successful  in hiring such  employees  on
acceptable terms or when required, or in maintaining the services of its present
employees.  The Company  estimates  that within the next twelve  months,  it may
require  approximately  11  additional  persons,  including  one in the  area of
general and  administrative,  five in sales and  marketing,  two in research and
development,  and three in manufacturing.  The Company  preliminarily  estimates
that  these  employees  will  increase  employee-related  expenses  in excess of
$700,000 during the next twelve months.  However,  such requirements are subject
to change and are highly  dependent on the  development  process for the system,
including  the  manufacturing  scale-up  process,  market  acceptance,  and  the
Company's distribution methods.

<PAGE>


Proceeds from the IPO are being used primarily to continue  clinical  testing of
the Vasotrac(TM)  system, to begin  manufacturing and marketing,  to conduct any
additional research and product  development efforts that may be necessary,  and
to provide working capital.  Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to
spend in excess of $600,000 for research and  development,  exclusive of amounts
expected to be spent on clinical  trials.  The funds are  expected to be used to
develop  sensors and holders,  to repackage  the monitor for cost  reduction and
modular system use, and to sustain  engineering  support for  manufacturing.  No
significant  amount of equipment is expected to be  required.  Even  assuming no
sales by the  Company,  the Company  believes  that the net  proceeds of the IPO
offering will allow the Company to meet its cash  requirements for approximately
three years from the date of the  closing of the  offering.  If the  development
process for the system does not proceed as expected because  significant product
design  changes  are  required  to  achieve  market   acceptance  or  unexpected
difficulties are encountered in attaining cost-effective manufacturability,  the
Company may require  additional  capital at an earlier date. Such capital may be
sought through bank  borrowing,  equipment  financing,  and other  methods.  The
Company's  financing  needs are  subject to change  depending  on,  among  other
things,  market  conditions and  opportunities,  equipment or other  asset-based
financing  that may be available,  and cash flow from  operations.  Any material
favorable  or  unfavorable   deviation  from  its   anticipated   expense  could
significantly  affect the timing and amount of additional  financing that may be
required.  However, additional financing may not be available when needed or, if
available, may not be on terms that are favorable to the Company or its security
holders. In addition, any such financing could result in substantial dilution to
then existing security holders.

Results of Operations

The results of operations compares the three months ended July 31, 1996 and 1995
respectively.  The analysis of liquidity and capital resources compares July 31,
1996 to April 30, 1996.

The Company incurred $176,020 and $39,912 for research and development  expenses
for the quarter  ended July 31, 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  research and
development  expense  increase  was  primarily   attributed  to  the  hiring  of
additional  employees as the Company prepares for production of the Vasotrac(TM)
system.

The Company  incurred  $73,400 and $0 for sales and  marketing  expenses for the
quarter  ended July 31,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The sales and  marketing
expenses  were  attributable  to the  hiring  of a Vice  President  of Sales and
additional Sales Associates along with the development of sales material.

The Company  incurred  $108,414  and  $106,855  for  general and  administrative
expenses  for the  quarter  ended  July 31,  1996 and  1995,  respectively.  The
increase in general and  administrative  expenses was  primarily  attributed  to
increased  insurance  expenses  associated  with  increased  activities  of  its
operations.

Interest  income was $86,780 and $4,609 for the quarter  ended July 31, 1996 and
July  31,  1995,   respectively.   The  increase   reflects  higher  cash,  cash
equivalents,  and short and long-term  investments  resulting from the Company's
IPO.

<PAGE>

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's  cash,  cash  equivalents,  short and long-term  investments  were
$6,517,539 and $6,528,321 at July 31, 1996 and April 30, 1996, respectively. The
Company  incurred cash  expenditures  of $236,098 for operations for the quarter
ended July 31, 1996.

In November 1995, the Company completed its initial public offering of 1,610,000
shares of Common Stock raising  approximately  $6,900,000 in net proceeds to the
Company.  Prior  to the  initial  public  offering,  the  Company  financed  its
activities  through a series of private  placements  of equity  securities.  The
Company's  Common Stock is quoted on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol
"MDWV".

With the proceeds of the initial  public  offering,  the Company  believes  that
sufficient  liquidity  is  available  to satisfy its working  capital  needs for
approximately  three years from the date of the closing of the IPO.  The Company
has no significant capital expenditure commitments.
