                          Notes To Financial Statements

                                October 31, 1997

1.   Organization and Description of Business

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

2.   Basis of Presentation

     The  financial  information  presented  as of  October  31,  1997  has been
     prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information as
     of April 30, 1997 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, 1997.

ITEM 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     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-Q.

General

The  Company,  which was formed in 1984,  is a  development  stage  company that
currently employs sixteen full-time employees and two part-time employees. Since
its inception,  the Company has been engaged exclusively in the development of a
non-invasive,  blood pressure  measurement and monitoring system.  Utilizing the
Company's proprietary technology, the Vasotrac(R) system monitors blood pressure
continually,   providing  new  readings  about  every  fifteen  heartbeats.  The
continual, efficacious and non-invasive qualities of the Vasotrac(R) system make
it a new approach to blood pressure monitoring.

The  Company  has  incurred  an  accumulated  deficit of  $(8,554,754)  from its
inception  through  October  31,  1997.   Significant   additional  losses  from
development,  testing,  regulatory  compliance,  sales,  and other  expenses are
expected  to be  incurred  by the  Company at least  until it  emerges  from the
development stage.

The Company's success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing
of  the  Vasotrac(R)  system.  However,  there  can  be no  assurance  that  the
Vasotrac(R)  system  will  be  successfully   marketed  or  sold  in  sufficient
quantities and at margins  necessary to achieve or maintain  profitability.  The
Company is  conducting  a controlled  market  rollout of the  Vasotrac(R).  This
<PAGE>

controlled  market rollout is designed to provide the Company with user feedback
on the  Vasotrac(R).  The Company is using the  feedback  to make minor  product
enhancements.  The Company hopes to be ready for nationwide sales by April 1998.
This is highly dependent on the development process for the system, the scale-up
process, customer acceptance,  and distribution methods that become available to
the Company. This strategy also includes limited unit sales to larger healthcare
organizations  for  review  and trial  before any  significant  unit  orders are
considered by the customer.

As 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  10  additional  persons,
including  two in the area of  general  and  administrative,  three 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 $500,000  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.

Cash and cash  equivalents,  and short and long-term  investments are being used
primarily  to continue  clinical  testing of the  Vasotrac(R)  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 $500,000 for
research and  development,  including  amounts  expected to be spent on clinical
trials.  The funds are expected to be used to develop improved sensors and wrist
holders and to sustain  engineering  support for  manufacturing.  No significant
amount of equipment is expected to be required.  The Company  believes  that the
cash and cash  equivalents,  and short and long-term  investments will allow the
Company to meet its cash  requirements  for  approximately  fifteen  months from
October 31, 1997. 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,  equity 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 and six months ended October
31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The analysis of liquidity and capital resources
compares October 31, 1997 to April 30, 1997.

Operating revenue was $106,087 and $4,995 for the quarter ended October 31, 1997
and 1996,  respectively.  Operating  revenue was $292,796 and $4,995 for the six
months ended October 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively. The Company commenced sales
in the second quarter of fiscal year 1997.

Cost of sales and product  development  was  $116,929 and $9,353 for the quarter
ended  October  31,  1997 and  1996,  respectively.  Cost of sales  and  product
development  was $305,765  and $9,353 for the six months ended  October 31, 1997
and 1996, respectively. The Company commenced sales during the second quarter of
fiscal year 1997.
<PAGE>

The Company incurred $304,698 and $238,439 for research and development expenses
for the  quarter  ended  October 31,  1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The Company
incurred $581,355 and $414,459 for research and development expenses for the six
months  ended  October  31,  1997  and  1996,  respectively.  The  research  and
development expense increase was primarily attributed to conducting a multi-site
clinical study on the accuracy of the Vasotrac(R) system.

The Company incurred $307,543 and $126,159 for sales and marketing  expenses for
the quarter ended October 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.  The Company incurred
$560,071 and $199,559 for sales and marketing  expenses for the six months ended
October 31, 1997 and 1996 respectively. The sales and marketing expense increase
was attributable to the hiring of additional sales associates and an increase in
travel expenses as the Company continues the sales rollout of the Vasotrac(R).

The Company  incurred  $112,875  and  $110,847  for  general and  administrative
expenses  for the quarter  ended  October 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The
Company incurred $206,714 and $219,261 for the six months ended October 31, 1997
and 1996 respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 1997 compared to the
six months ended  October 31, 1996,  the decrease in general and  administrative
expenses was primarily attributable to lower insurance expenses.

Interest  income was $61,541 and $85,862 for the quarter  ended October 31, 1997
and October 31, 1996,  respectively.  Interest  income was $123,542 and $172,642
for the six months ended  October 31, 1997 and 1996  respectively.  The decrease
reflects lower cash, cash  equivalents,  and short and long-term  investments as
the Company increases the cost of rolling out the Vasotrac(R) system.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's cash, cash equivalents,  and short- and long-term investments were
$4,154,557 and $5,078,663 at October 31, 1997 and April 30, 1997,  respectively.
The Company  incurred  cash  expenditures  of $529,443  for  operations  for the
quarter ended October 31, 1997.

With the cash and cash  equivalents,  and short and long-term  investments,  the
Company  believes that sufficient  liquidity is available to satisfy its working
capital  needs for  approximately  fifteen  months from  October 31,  1997.  The
Company has no significant capital expenditure commitments.
