              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1998
                                   (UNAUDITED)
               (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The interim financial information is unaudited. In the opinion of management of
EndoSonics Corporation ("EndoSonics" or the "Company"), the condensed
consolidated financial statements included in this report reflect all
adjustments necessary, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, to
present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position at June 30, 1998
and the consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the six month
periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Results for the interim periods 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, 1997,
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EndoSonics and its
subsidiaries. (EndoSonics and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to
hereinafter as "the Company"). All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries,
and other investments in which the Company has a 20% to 50% interest or
otherwise has the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for
under the equity method.

INVESTMENTS

In accordance with SFAS 115, the Company has classified its investment portfolio
as available-for-sale. Unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale
securities are recorded as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

2.       INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first in, first out
(FIFO) cost basis, or market value. Inventories consist of the following:

3.       COMPUTATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options
and warrants are excluded from the computation of net loss per share because
their effect is antidilutive. Conversely, common equivalent shares from stock
options are included in the computation of net income per share as this effect
is dilutive.

At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 the Company had outstanding options to
purchase 2,933,766 and 2,958,921 shares of common stock, respectively (with
exercise prices ranging from $0.32 to $16.50) and outstanding warrants to
purchase 12,304 shares of common stock (with exercise prices from $11.76 to
$12.55). If exercised, these options could potentially dilute basic earnings per
share in future periods.

4.       COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, which establishes new rules for the reporting
and display of comprehensive income and its components. SFAS No. 130 requires
companies to report, in addition to net income, other components of
comprehensive income including unrealized gains or losses on available for sale
securities and foreign currency translation adjustments. During the second
quarter of 1998 and 1997, total comprehensive income amounted to $1,373 and
$792, respectively. For the six month period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
comprehensive income amounted to $2,227 and $1,216, respectively. Adoption of
SFAS No. 130 had no effect of the Company's results of operations or financial
position as reported elsewhere in the consolidated financial statements. The
following table sets forth the computation of comprehensive income:

5.       RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES

Concurrent with the purchase of Cardiometrics, Inc., the Company recorded
restructuring and integration charges in July, 1997 of approximately $8,600
related to plans to reduce overhead of the combined companies and increase
operating efficiency in future periods. The restructuring and integration
charges include approximately $7,100 of corporate reorganization costs,
including the costs related to the cancellation of certain distribution
agreements, and 

                                       7


<PAGE>   8

approximately $1,500 related to relocation of certain product lines and overall
integration of the Company's operations.

The elements of the total charges and the accrual for restructuring and
integration charges as of June 30, 1998 are as follows:

                       =======        =======        =======        =======
</TABLE>

In addition, the Company had approximately $300 accrued at December 31, 1997
related to the June, 1996 restructuring. During the six months ended June 30,
1998, the Company incurred the remaining costs related to this accrual.

6.       STOCK REPURCHASE

The Board of Directors has authorized a stock repurchase program whereby the
Company may repurchase up to $5.0 million worth of its common stock from
time-to-time in the open market or private transactions. During the quarter
ended June 30, 1998, the Company repurchased 500,000 shares of its Common Stock
on the open market at an aggregate cost of approximately $3.3 million.

7.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 23, 1998, the Company announced that it has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire Navius Corporation, a San Diego based, privately-held
developer of angioplasty balloons, stents, intravascular radiation devices and
other medical products. The transaction, which is valued at approximately $15.5
million in cash and EndoSonics common stock, plus royalties on future product
sales, was consummated on August 5, 1998. The acquisition will be accounted for
under the purchase method of accounting. In addition, the company announced that
it has agreed in principal to enter into a strategic relationship with the
Fukuda Denshi Co., Ltd., a Japanese medical products company, which includes an
equity investment and research and development funding totaling $13 million in
EndoSonics by Fukuda. Approximately, 65% of the $13 million will be exchanged
for newly issued common stock, the balance, upon consummation of a definitive
agreement, will fund research and development programs over the next 24 months.
As a result of both the Navius and Fukuda transactions, EndoSonics expects to
issue approximately 2.1 million additional shares of common stock.

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 


                                       8


<PAGE>   9

cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, the Company's ability
to transition to new distribution arrangements in Europe and North America, 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 "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K (starting at page 21) for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1997.



INTRODUCTION

Since its inception in 1984, EndoSonics has been engaged primarily in the
research and development of products for the diagnosis and treatment of
cardiovascular disease. The Company markets and distributes its products in the
United States, Europe, South America, Asia, and Canada through a direct sales
force, and through relationships with strategic partners and certain other
distributors.

The Company's business strategy includes acquiring related businesses, products
or technologies. On July 23, 1998, the Company announced that it has signed a
definitive agreement to acquire Navius Corporation, a San Diego based,
privately-held developer of angioplasty balloons, stents, intravascular
radiation devices and other medical products. The transaction, which is valued
at approximately $15.5 million in cash and EndoSonics common stock, plus
royalties on future product sales, was consummated on August 5, 1998. The
acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. In
addition, the company announced that it has agreed in principal to enter into a
strategic relationship with the Fukuda Denshi Co., Ltd., a Japanese medical
products company, which includes an equity investment and research and
development funding totaling $13 million in EndoSonics by Fukuda. Approximately
65% of the $13 million will be exchanged for newly issued common stock, the
balance, upon consummation of a definitive agreement, will fund research and
development programs over the next 24 months. As a result of both transactions,
EndoSonics expects to issue approximately 2.1 million additional shares of
common stock.

The Company expects that it may pursue additional acquisitions in the future.
Any future acquisitions may result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity
securities, the write-off of in-process research and development, the incurrence
of debt and contingent liabilities and amortization expenses related to
intangible assets acquired, any of which could materially adversely affect the
Company's business financial condition and results of operations. In particular,
if the Company is unable to use the "pooling of interests" method of accounting,
the Company will be required to amortize any intangible assets acquired in
connection with any additional acquisitions and the amortization periods for
such costs will be over the useful lives of such assets, which range from three
years to eight years. Additionally, unanticipated expenses may be incurred
relating to the integration of technologies and research and development, and
administrative functions. Any acquisition will involve numerous risks, including
difficulties in the assimilation of the acquired company's employees, operations
and products, uncertainties associated with operating in new markets and working
with new customers, the potential loss of the acquired company's key employees
as well as the costs associated with completing the acquisition and integrating
the acquired company.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SECOND QUARTER OF 1998 COMPARED TO THE SAME PERIOD IN 1997

Total Revenue. Total revenue increased 41% to $10.1 million for the second
quarter of 1998, which included $2.5 million of Cardiometrics revenue, from $7.1
million in the second quarter of 1997, which included no Cardiometrics revenue.
Revenues for the IVUS business increased by 6%, or $0.5 million, primarily due
to the growth in demand for IVUS catheter products coupled with the transition
to a direct sales force. In May 1998, EndoSonics concluded an agreement with
Cordis (a Johnson & Johnson Company) on the terms under which Cordis' exclusive
distribution rights for certain EndoSonics products in the United States,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa will be terminated. Further revenue growth
will be dependent on the ability of the Company to continue to successfully
transition its selling efforts from a distribution relationship to direct sales
and marketing in certain geographic areas, regulatory approval of certain new
products, and resolution of manufacturing issues with respect to WaveWire
production.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales decreased to 45%
for the second quarter of 1998, which includes $1.1 million of Cardiometrics
cost of sales, from 56% for the second quarter of 1997, which includes no
Cardiometrics cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales in
1998 decreased due to the overall improvements in manufacturing efficiency
caused in part by the consolidation of manufacturing activities to a single site
in April, 1997. In addition, the sale of higher-margin Cardiometrics products
also contributed to the improvement. 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 expenses
increased by $0.8 million from $0.9 million for the second quarter of 1997 to
$1.8 million for the second quarter of 1998, due primarily to on-going
Cardiometrics clinical studies which were not included in the results of
operations in the second quarter of 1997.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales increased to $2.0 million in the second
quarter of 1998 from $1.0 million in the second quarter of 1997. As a percentage
of total revenue, marketing and sales has increased to 20% in the second quarter
of 1998 from 14% in the second quarter of 1997. The increase is due to increased
staffing and marketing programs related to the acquisition of Cardiometrics, as
well as personnel additions and related expenditures associated with the
transition to a direct sales force in certain world markets.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by
$0.1 million dollars to $1.0 million dollars for the second quarter of 1998
compared to $0.9 million dollars for the second quarter of 1997. General and
administrative expenses decreased to 10% of total revenue in the first quarter
of 1998 as compared to 12% of total revenue in the first quarter of 1997. The
improvement is due to an increase in revenues without a corresponding increase
in expenses.

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles of $0.3 million in the
second quarter of 1998 relates to goodwill and other intangible assets acquired
in connection with the acquisition of Cardiometrics in July of 1997. Goodwill
and other intangibles acquired in the Cardiometrics acquisition are being
amortized over periods varying from three to eight years.

Equity in Net Loss of CardioVascular Dynamics, Inc. There was no equity in net
loss of CardioVascular Dynamics, Inc. ("CVD") in the second quarter of 1998 as
compared to $0.3 million in the second quarter of 1997. Since February 1998, the
Company's ownership in CVD has been less than 20%. Accordingly, the Company
accounts for its investment in CVD under the cost method. At June 30, 1997, the
Company's ownership in CVD common stock was 44%, and accounted for under the
equity method.

Other Income. Other income was $0.5 million in the second quarters of 1998 and
1997. The Company recognized a gain of 0.1 million in the second quarter of
1998, related to the sale of CardioVascular Dynamics common stock. This was
offset by reduced interest income in the second quarter of 1998 as compared to
the second quarter of 1997 due to the decrease in the Company's cash, cash
equivalents, and short term investments as of June 30, 1998.

Net Income (Loss). Net income increased to $1.0 million, or $0.06 per share, in
the second quarter of 1998 as compared to $0.8 million, or $0.06 per share, in
the second quarter of 1997.

FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1998 COMPARED TO SAME PERIOD OF 1997

Total Revenue. Total revenue increased 42% to $19.1 million for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 which included $5.2 million of Cardiometrics revenue, from
$13.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 1997, which included no
Cardiometrics revenue. Revenues for the IVUS business increased by 3%, or $0.4
million, primarily due to the growth in demand for IVUS catheter products
coupled with the transition to a direct sales force. In May 1998, EndoSonics
concluded an agreement with Cordis on the terms under which Cordis' exclusive
distribution rights for certain EndoSonics products in the United States,
Europe, the Middle East and Africa was terminated. Further revenue growth is
dependent on the ability of the Company to continue to increase its direct sales
force and penetrate the market.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of product sales decreased to 50%
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 which includes $2.6 million of
Cardiometrics cost of sales, from 54% for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
which included no Cardiometrics cost of sales. Cost of sales as a percentage of
product sales in 1998 decreased due to the overall improvements in manufacturing
efficiency caused in part by the consolidation of manufacturing activities to a
single site in April, 1997. In addition, the sale of higher margin Cardiometrics
products also contributed to the improvement. 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 expenses
increased by $1.7 million from $1.9 million for the six 

                                       11

<PAGE>   12

months ended June 30, 1997 to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
1998, due primarily to on-going Cardiometrics clinical studies which were not
included in the results of operations in the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Marketing and Sales. Marketing and sales increased to $4.1 million in the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from $1.9 million dollars for the six months ended
June 30, 1997. As a percentage of total revenue, marketing and sales expense has
increased to 21% in the six months ended June 30, 1998 from 14% in the six
months ended June 30, 1997. The increase is due to increased staffing and
marketing programs related to the acquisition of Cardiometrics, as well as
personnel additions and related expenditures associated with the transition to a
direct sales force in certain world markets.

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by
$0.9 million dollars to $2.6 million dollars for the six months ended June 30,
1998 compared to $1.7 million dollars for the six months ended June 30, 1997
primarily due to legal expenses related to the Company's on-going patent
litigation proceedings.

Amortization of Intangibles. Amortization of intangibles of $0.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 relates to goodwill and other intangible assets
acquired in connection with the acquisition of Cardiometrics in July of 1997.
Goodwill and other intangibles acquired in the Cardiometrics acquisition are
being amortized over three-to-eight years.

Equity in Net Loss of CardioVascular Dynamics, Inc. Equity in the net loss of
CardioVascular Dynamics, Inc. for the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $0.2
million as compared to $0.5 million for six months ended June 30, 1997. Since
February 1998, the Company's ownership in CVD has been less than 20%.
Consequently, the Company is accounting for its investment in CVD under the cost
method. At June 30, 1997, the Company's ownership in CVD common stock was 44%,
and accounted for under the equity method.

Other Income. Other income was $1.3 million for the six months ended June
30,1998 as compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 1997. The Company
recognized a gain of $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
related to the sale of CardioVascular Dynamics common stock. This was offset by
reduced interest income in 1998 as compared to 1997 due to the decrease in the
Company's cash, cash equivalents, and short term investments balances during the
six month period ended June 30, 1998, as compared to the same period in 1997.

Net Income (Loss). Net loss was $0.1 million, or ($0.01) per share, for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $1.3 million, or $0.09
per share, for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and equivalents of $10.2 million,
short-term investments of $14.4 million and no borrowings or credit facilities.
Net cash provided by (used in) operations was $1.3 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1998 as compared to ($2.3) million in the six months ended June
30, 1997. The increase is due in part to increased accounts receivable
collections and proceeds from sales of CVD common stock partially offset by cash

                                       12

used to acquire treasury shares. On July 23, 1998, the Company announced that it
has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Navius Corporation, a San
Diego-based, privately held developer of angioplasty balloons, stents,
intravascular radiation devices and other medical products. The transaction,
which is valued at approximately $15.5 million in cash and EndoSonics common
stock, plus royalties on future product sales, was consummated on August 5,
1998. The acquisition will be accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. In addition, the company announced that it has agreed in principal
to enter into a strategic relationship with the Fukuda Denshi Co., Ltd., a
Japanese medical products company, which includes an equity investment and
research and development funding totaling $13 million in EndoSonics by Fukuda.
Approximately, 65% of the $13 million will be exchanged for newly issued shares
of common stock, the balance, upon consummation of a definitive agreement, will
fund research and development programs over the next 24 months. As a result of
both the Navius and Fukuda transactions, EndoSonics expects to issue
approximately 2.1 million additional shares of common stock. The Company
anticipates using approximately $6.0 million in cash to acquire Navius. Other
cash resources will be used primarily for capital expenditures, product
development, sales and marketing efforts and working capital purposes. The
Company believes that its existing cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating expenses and
capital requirements through 1998. However, there can be no assurance that the
Company will not be required to seek other financing or that such financing, if
required, will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company.
