              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 MARCH 31, 1996

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial information at March 31, 1996 and for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 is unaudited. Information at December 31, 1995 has
been derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management of
EndoSonics Corporation ("EndoSonics" or the "Company"), the condensed
consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present
fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at March 31, 1996 and the
consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three month
periods ended March 31, 1996, and 1995. Results for the interim are not
necessarily indicative of consolidated results to be expected for the entire
fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995,
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3.  COMPUTATION OF NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options are
excluded from the computation because their effect is antidilutive.

4. STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

The increase in common stock and additional paid-in capital resulted from the
sale of 350,877 shares of common stock to Cordis Corporation at $14.25 per share
and from exercises of employee stock options.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements. The
Company's business is subject to risks and uncertainties and the Company's
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in the
forward looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to, the Company's relationship with Cordis Corporation and
the effect on Cordis of its acquisition by Johnson & Johnson, Inc., scale-up of
the Company's manufacturing operations for the Company's existing products and
the introduction of new products, FDA approval of new products and changes in
regulatory requirements and third-party reimbursement policies. For a discussion
of these and other factors, please see "Future Operating Results" beginning on
page 22 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1995.

OVERVIEW

Since inception in 1984, EndoSonics has engaged primarily in the research and
development of products for the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular
disease. The Company's financial results will be affected in the future by
several factors, including the timing of any FDA approval to market the
Company's products, FDA approval of IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) sites
and the number of patients permitted to be treated in the related clinical
trials, future changes in government regulations and third party reimbursement
policies applicable to the Company's products, the revenue mix of Oracle imaging
systems and catheters, the progress of competing technologies, and the ability
of the Company to develop the manufacturing and marketing capabilities necessary
to support commercial sales. As a result of these factors, revenue levels, gross
margins and operating results may fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

In February 1996, EndoSonics and Cordis entered into an agreement pursuant to
which Cordis was granted the exclusive right to distribute EndoSonics' IVUS
imaging products for coronary applications in North America, Europe, Africa and
the Middle East (the "Exclusive Distribution Agreement"). The Exclusive
Distribution Agreement supersedes and replaces a prior distribution agreement
between Cordis and EndoSonics and a prior distribution agreement between
EndoSonics Nederland B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of EndoSonics, and Cordis
S.A. Cordis is obligated during each year of the Exclusive Distribution
Agreement to use reasonable efforts to purchase certain minimum annual amounts
of products from EndoSonics. Subject to certain exceptions, Cordis' failure to
meet the minimum annual purchase amount during any year of the Exclusive
Distribution Agreement shall constitute a material breach of such agreement.
Cordis is also obligated during the term of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement
to undertake certain efforts to market, promote, distribute and sell EndoSonics'
IVUS imaging products, including the provision of adequate personnel and
facilities, the maintenance of sufficient inventory for demonstration purposes
and the appointment of a United States and European intracoronary ultrasound
marketing manager to interface with EndoSonics' United States and European
clinical and support staff. The Exclusive Distribution Agreement also contains
standard representations and warranties of each party and standard provisions
regarding indemnification, service and maintenance and confidentiality. Under
the terms of the Exclusive Distribution Agreement, Cordis shall purchase IVUS
imaging products from EndoSonics at agreed upon prices set forth in such
agreement, which prices shall be jointly reviewed by EndoSonics and Cordis every
six months. The Exclusive Distribution Agreement initially expires on December
31, 1998, but may be extended by the parties for successive one year periods.

In February 1996, EndoSonics and Cordis Corporation entered into an
Imaging/Therapeutic Combination Devices Development Agreement (the "Development
Agreement") pursuant to which the parties agreed to cooperate in the development
and marketing of advanced, cost effective imaging/therapeutic combination
devices. The Development Agreement provides, among other things, that the
parties shall jointly agree upon the specifications of the products to be
developed, the budget, and the schedule for completion. Cordis agreed to provide
technical and manufacturing support for the development efforts and to provide
certain funding payable


                                       7

<PAGE>

over a period not to exceed thirty months. The Development Agreement expires
upon the earlier of thirty months from the date of the Development Agreement or
the completion of the products that the parties agree to develop under such
agreement. EndoSonics agreed, during the term of the Development Agreement, not
to enter into an agreement with any other party for the development,
manufacture, or sale of a product for use in the intracoronary ultrasound market
that is similar to the products developed, if any, during the term of the
Development Agreement.

On May 3, 1996, EndoSonics' 84% owned subsidiary, Cardiovascular Dynamics, Inc.
(CVD) filed a Registration Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
for a public offering of its Common Stock. Although EndoSonics is not selling
any shares in the offering, if it is successfully completed, EndoSonics'
ownership of CVD will be less than 50%, and therefore EndoSonics will begin
accounting for its investment in CVD on the equity method.

The Company presently intends to distribute or otherwise transfer to EndoSonics
stockholders a portion (up to a majority) of the CVD shares owned by EndoSonics.
The precise amount and timing of any such distribution or transfer will depend
upon, among other matters, an analysis of the tax consequences to EndoSonics and
its stockholders, and in any event cannot occur prior to 180 days following
successful completion of the offering. However, EndoSonics is not obligated to
make any such distribution or transfer nor is it obligated to take any action or
refrain from taking any action with respect to the shares of CVD which it will
hold upon completion of the offering.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FIRST QUARTER OF 1996 COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN 1995

Total Revenue. Total revenue increased 108% to $5.7 million for the first
quarter of 1996 from $2.7 million for the first quarter of 1995. This
improvement was principally the result of an increase in intravascular
ultrasound (IVUS) sales in the United States and Europe. The improvement is also
due to the growth of the overall market for IVUS imaging products and increased
sales under the Company's distribution agreements with Cordis Corporation, and
to a lesser extent, with Fukuda Denshi.

Sales of the Company's all electronic IVUS imaging system and catheters
accounted for $3.4 million of total revenue, but CVD also had a strong increase
in total revenues to $2.0 million from $0.4 million in the first quarter of
1995. CVD's increased revenues were primarily the result of continued growth in
sales of its FOCAL catheters, a line of advanced therapeutic catheters
introduced in the first quarter of 1995.

Cost of Sales Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales decreased to 67%
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from 90% for the first quarter of
1995. While improving over the corresponding period of the prior year, costs
were negatively impacted in the first quarter of 1996 by manufacturing
inefficiencies associated with production ramp-up of three new IVUS catheter
products, including the Five-64. During the quarter ended March 31, 1995, the
Company voluntarily recalled certain diagnostic catheters due to manufacturing
problems related to these catheters. As a result, the Company incurred costs
related to reworking these units, as well as


                                       8

<PAGE>

writing off of a portion that could not be reworked. In addition, the Company's
manufacturing facility was not producing at a normal rate and consequently,
unfavorable manufacturing variances were incurred. This resulted in lower than
anticipated product margins. Total expenses applicable to this recall were
approximately $664,000 and were charged to current operations in the first
quarter of 1995. CVD's cost of sales as a percentage of product sales was 53%
for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

Gross profit margins improved to 37% for the three months ended March 31, 1996
as compared to 10% for the first quarter of 1995. Due to the uncertainty
associated with continued improvements in the efficiency of the Company's
manufacturing process and the impact of increasingly competitive pricing, there
can be no assurance that the Company's gross profit margin will be maintained or
continue to improve in future periods.

Research, Development and Clinical. Research, development and clinical decreased
by 10% to $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.8
million for the first quarter of 1995 due to a decrease in expenses related to
the Pinnacle Development Project, offset by continued investment in CVD's
infrastructure to launch and produce its new catheters. As a percentage of total
revenue, research, development and clinical decreased to 28% for the first three
months of 1996 compared to 66% for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales expenses increased 33% to $1.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.2 million for the first
quarter of 1995 due to higher costs associated with increased staffing and
marketing programs, especially at CVD, to support higher sales levels. As a
percentage of total revenue, marketing and sales expenses decreased to 27% for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 43% for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 due to increased revenues.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses decreased 10% to
$0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $1.0 million for the
first three months of 1995. General and administrative expenses decreased to 15%
of total revenue for the first three months of 1996 from 35% of total revenue
for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

Other Income, Net. Other income increased to $609,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 from $219,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 due to a
higher level of interest income earned on the proceeds of an equity financing
completed in the fourth quarter of 1995.

Net Loss. Net loss decreased to $1.2 million, or $0.09 per share for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to a net loss of $3.2 million or $0.32
per share, for the first quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and equivalents of $36.5 million and
short-term investments of $13.3 million. As reflected in the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company's operations continue to
result in negative cash flows. Net cash used in operations was $1.1 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, as compared to $3.5 million in the
corresponding period in the previous year. The Company expects to incur
substantial additional costs, primarily relating to ongoing research and
development and clinical programs, and increased marketing efforts prior to
achieving positive cash flow from operations. EndoSonics anticipates using cash
resources generated from product sales and existing cash balances to fund
operations in 1996.

The Company is seeking additional equity funding for CVD (see "Overview"). There
can be no assurance that the Company can complete an equity financing such as
that described in the "Overview" section.

The Company believes its available cash and equivalents, short-term investment
and working capital positions as of March 31, 1996, will be sufficient to meet
the Company's operating expenses and capital requirements through mid-1997.
