(1)  Unaudited Financial Statements

     The interim consolidated financial statements of Diametrics Medical, Inc.
     (the "Company") are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in
     accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
     States of America for interim financial information, pursuant to the rules
     and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Pursuant to such
     rules and regulations, certain financial information and footnote
     disclosures normally included in the financial statements have been
     condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of management, the financial
     statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
     accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods
     presented. Operating results for these interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of results to be expected for the entire year, due to seasonal,
     operating and other factors.

     These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial
     statements and related notes which are incorporated by reference in the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
     Certain 1999 amounts have been reclassified from prior reported balances to
     conform to the 2000 presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on
     the net loss or loss per share as reported in 1999.

     ("Agilent") provides for prepaid funding of research and development costs
     and royalty payments over the initial term of the agreement. These
     prepayments are being recognized over the periods benefited.

(5)  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On March 13, 2000, the Company called the warrants issued in connection
     with a private equity placement completed in June 1997, resulting in the
     issuance during the six months ended June 30,


                                       6
<PAGE>

     2000, of 355,556 shares of Common Stock at $6.75 per share. The remaining
     increase in shareholders' equity during this period is primarily due to the
     issuance of 261,669 shares of Common Stock in connection with employee
     stock plans, partially offset by a year-to-date net loss.

(6)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     One of the Company's directors is also a director of DVI, Inc., a
     healthcare finance company with which the Company has a credit line and
     notes payable. As of June 30, 2000, there were no outstanding advances
     against the $1,000,000 receivable backed credit line and the outstanding
     balance of the notes payable totaled $693,160.

     The Company's exclusive distributors, Agilent and CODMAN, a Johnson &
     Johnson company, are shareholders of the Company. Sales to these parties
     were approximately $5.4 million and $10.2 million for the three and six
     months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. As of June 30, 2000, outstanding
     accounts receivable for these distributors represented 91% of total
     outstanding accounts receivable. One of the Company's directors is also an
     executive officer of Agilent.

     Summary
     -------

     Diametrics Medical, Inc., which began operations in 1990, is engaged in the
     development, manufacturing and commercialization of critical care blood and
     tissue analysis systems, which provide immediate or continuous diagnostic
     results at the point-of-patient care.

     Since its commencement of operations in 1990, the Company has transitioned
     from a development stage company to a full-scale development, manufacturing
     and marketing organization. As of June 30, 2000, the primary funding for
     the operations of the Company has been approximately $147 million raised
     through public and private sales of its equity securities and issuance of
     convertible promissory notes.

     The Company's strategy for distribution and commercialization of its
     products includes partnerships with Agilent and CODMAN. In October 1998,
     the Company entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with CODMAN
     for worldwide market development and distribution of the Company's
     Neurotrend(TM) Cerebral Tissue Monitoring System ("Neurotrend"). CE Mark
     approval for Neurotrend was received in the second quarter 1998, allowing
     the system to be marketed in Europe, and the Company received clearance
     from the Food and Drug Administration in November 1999, allowing the system
     to be marketed in the United States. Sales of Neurotrend to CODMAN began in
     the fourth quarter 1998. In June 1999, the Company entered into an
     exclusive distribution agreement with Hewlett Packard Company ("HP"). Under
     the terms of the distribution agreement, the Company transferred full
     responsibility for marketing, sales and distribution of the Company's
     leading critical care products, the IRMA(R)SL blood analysis system and the
     Trendcare(R) continuous blood gas monitoring systems, including
     Paratrend(R) and Neotrend(TM), to HP. The agreement also provides for
     minimum purchase commitments, market development commitments, research and
     development funding and royalty payments over the initial three and a
     half-year term. In November 1999, HP assigned the distribution agreement to
     Agilent, a leading provider of test and measurement solutions and
     communications components, which was formed as a new company and subsidiary
     of HP. HP completed the spin-off of its ownership in Agilent to HP
     shareholders in June 2000.

     Results of Operations
     ---------------------

     Sales. Sales of the Company's products were $6,090,343 and $11,761,237 for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $4,639,746 and
     $8,882,933 for the same periods in the prior year, increases of 31% and
     32%, respectively. The increase in sales for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 2000 over the prior year reflects a 29% and 37% respective
     increase in instrument sales, partially offset by a general decrease in
     product pricing under the Agilent and CODMAN distribution agreements. The
     significant increase in instrument sales between periods was impacted
     primarily by sales to Agilent and CODMAN. While unit sales of disposable
     cartridges and sensors grew 22% between the first six months of 1999 and
     2000, related revenues declined due to the impact of the lower average
     sales prices described above. The impact of reduced pricing was partially
     mitigated by the recognition in the first and second quarters of $450,000
     and $500,000, respectively, of royalty revenue from the Agilent
     distribution agreement. The Company's direct sales to Agilent and CODMAN
     comprised approximately 90% and 87% of total sales for the three and six
     months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared to 74% and 62% for the
     same periods in the prior year.

     Intermittent testing products represented 38% and 41% of total sales for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to 41% and 38% for
     the comparable periods in 1999. Continuous monitoring products comprised
     the remaining sales in each period.

     Intermittent blood testing products revenue was comprised of 60% and 65%
     instrument related revenue and 40% and 35% disposable cartridge related
     revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.
     Continuous monitoring products revenue was comprised of 83% and 80%
     instrument related revenue and 17% and 20% disposable sensor revenue for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively. The high
     concentration of instrument related revenue was impacted primarily by sales
     to Agilent and CODMAN.

     The Company's revenues are affected principally by the number of
     instruments, both monitors and IRMA analyzers, placed with customers and
     the rate at which disposable sensors and cartridges are used in connection
     with these products. As of June 30, 2000, the Company has sold
     approximately 6,200 instruments. Unit sales of instruments for the three
     and six months ended June 30, 2000, increased approximately 7% and 43%,
     respectively, over unit sales for the same periods in 1999, while
     disposable sensor and cartridge unit sales increased 18% and 22%,
     respectively, over the same periods in 1999. As the Company grows, it is
     expected that the Company's growing end-user customer base will increase
     the usage and rate of usage of disposable products, with the result that
     overall disposable product sales will exceed that of instrument sales.

     The Company has targeted continued revenue growth during the remainder of
     2000, as a result of further planned expansion of its blood and tissue
     analysis product lines and continued commercialization of these products by
     market leading distribution partners.

     Cost of Sales. Cost of sales totaled $4,441,509 and $8,711,466, or 73% and
     74% of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared
     to $3,916,373 and $7,433,279 or 84% of revenue for both of the same periods
     in the prior year. The period-to-period improvement in the Company's cost
     of sales as a percentage of revenue reflects increased unit sales volumes,
     a higher mix of instrument sales, improved cartridge yields, a reduction in
     instrument material costs, and the impact of operational efficiencies and
     process improvements, partially offset by lower average sales prices. The
     impact of lower pricing was partially mitigated by royalty revenue from
     Agilent. The Company is targeting continued improvements in gross profit
     during the remainder of 2000 as a result of expected continued improvements
     in manufacturing yields and higher unit volumes.

     Operating Expenses. Research and development expenditures totaled
     $1,253,588 and $2,362,957 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000,
     compared to $1,345,441 and $2,881,084 for the same periods in 1999. The
     decline in 2000 expenses is primarily due to the recognition of $500,000
     and $1,000,000 during the second quarter and year-to-date periods,
     respectively, of research and development funding received from Agilent as
     part of the distribution agreement, partially offset by additional
     investments to support new research and development projects. Approximately
     $167,000 of Agilent research and development funding was recognized during
     both the second quarter and year-to-date periods of 1999.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,344,625 and
     $2,816,123 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to
     $2,096,651 and $5,023,531 for the same periods in 1999. The
     period-to-period decreases in expenses were primarily impacted by funding
     of sales


                                       8
<PAGE>

     activities by Agilent from June 1999 through October 1999 and the transfer
     in November 1999 of most of the Company's sales and marketing functions to
     Agilent.

     Operating expense run rates for the remaining half of 2000 are targeted to
     approximate levels experienced in the first half of 2000.

     Other Income (Expense). Net other income totaled $56,759 and $93,280 for
     the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, compared to net other expense
     of $63,454 and $234,954 for the same periods in 1999. The Company realized
     interest income of $217,576 and $418,594 for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 2000, compared to $51,338 and $93,652 for the same periods in
     1999. The period-to-period increase reflects the impact of higher average
     cash and investment balances, primarily due to the timing of the Company's
     financing activities, funding received from Agilent and improved cash flow
     from operations.

     Interest expense totaled $147,372 and $297,446 for the three and six months
     ended June 30, 2000, compared to $156,313 and $321,727 for the same periods
     in 1999. The period-to-period decrease reflects the impact of lower average
     debt balances.

     Net Loss. The net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 was
     $892,620 and $2,036,029, compared to $2,782,173 and $6,689,915 for the same
     periods in 1999. Compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 1999,
     the net loss decreased by 68% and 70%, respectively, for the same periods
     in 2000. These decreases reflect revenue growth; improved margins,
     influenced by higher unit volumes, changes in product mix and improved
     manufacturing yields; and reduced operating expenses due primarily to
     research and development funding received from Agilent and the transfer of
     the Company's sales and marketing functions to Agilent. The Company is
     targeting continued improvement in net loss during the remainder of 2000.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of $15,539,844, an
     increase of $530,376 from the working capital reported at December 31,
     1999. The increase is impacted primarily by proceeds from exercises under
     employee stock plans and outstanding warrants of approximately $3.5
     million, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of
     approximately $1.6 million.

     Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2,318,991 for the six months
     ended June 30, 2000, compared to $762,996 for the same period in 1999. This
     was the result of net losses of $2,036,029 and $6,689,915 for these same
     periods in 2000 and 1999, respectively, adjusted by changes in key
     operating assets and liabilities, primarily accounts receivable,
     inventories, accounts payable, accrued expenses and deferred credits and
     revenue.

     Net accounts receivable decreased $1,256,551 for the six months ended June
     30, 2000, compared to a $990,838 increase for the same period in 1999. The
     reduction in accounts receivable in the first six months of 2000 relative
     to the increase for the same period in 1999 occurred in spite of a
     significantly larger increase in sales between periods primarily due to an
     improvement in days sales outstanding and to the timing of sales.

     Inventories decreased $608,803 and $276,606 for the six months ended June
     30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, reflecting significant sales of
     instruments in both periods. The larger decrease in inventories during 2000
     relative to 1999 also reflects an improvement in inventory turnover, due to
     improved inventory management.

     Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $1,139,676 for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000, compared to an increase of $548,641 for the
     same period in 1999. The decrease in 2000 was primarily due to higher
     accrued employee bonuses at December 31, 1999 relative to December 31,
     1998, paid in the first quarter of each year. The increase in 1999 was
     primarily due to accrued financing and other costs associated with the
     Agilent distribution agreement.

     Deferred credits and revenue decreased $1,699,354 during the six months
     ended June 30, 2000, compared to an increase of $5,027,031 for the same
     period in 1999. The decrease in 2000 represents the recognition of funding
     from Agilent for research and development and royalties of $1,950,000,
     partially offset by customer advance payments. The increase during 1999
     primarily reflects the receipt of $6,000,000 of prepaid funding from HP
     under the terms of the distribution agreement, partially offset by the
     recognition of approximately $1 million of the funding as a reduction of
     second quarter 1999 expenses.


                                       9

     Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1,161,299 for the six months
     ended June 30, 2000, compared to $6,817,063 for the same period in 1999.
     This change was affected primarily by the amounts and timing of equity
     funding, which affected the amount of cash available for the purchase of
     marketable securities. Purchases of property and equipment, totaling
     $1,646,559 in 2000 and $874,762 in 1999, also affected net cash used in
     investing activities in each period. In 2000, the Company expects capital
     expenditures and new lease commitments to approximate $3 million, primarily
     reflecting investments to support new product development and production.

     Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3,421,353 for the six
     months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $11,386,841 for the same period in
     1999. In 2000, net cash provided by financing activities consisted
     primarily of proceeds from employee stock plans and warrant exercises. Net
     cash provided by financing activities in 1999 was primarily due to proceeds
     of approximately $4 million from the issuance of common stock as a result
     of the exercise of a Put Option under a Put Option and Stock Purchase
     Agreement with Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation and a $9.5 million
     private equity placement with HP, partially offset by principal payments on
     borrowings and capital lease obligations.

     At June 30, 2000, the Company had U.S. net operating loss and research and
     development tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of
     approximately $114.9 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Pursuant to
     the Tax Reform Act of 1986, use of a portion of the Company's net operating
     loss carryforwards are limited due to a "change in ownership." The Company
     estimates that U.S. net operating loss carryforwards of $2.9 million are
     not currently available due to these annual limitations. Net operating
     losses incurred since August 4, 1995 are not currently subject to the
     "change in ownership" limitations. If not used, these net operating loss
     carryforwards begin to expire in 2005.

     The Company's foreign subsidiary also has net operating loss carryforwards
     of approximately $47.1 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely.

     As part of an exclusive distribution agreement with HP completed in June
     1999, HP agreed to acquire $9.5 million of the Company's Common Stock at
     $7.00 per share, with a warrant to purchase 452,381 shares of Common Stock
     at $8.40 per share, providing additional funding potential of $3.8 million.
     In addition, HP agreed to minimum purchase commitments, market development
     commitments, research and development funding and royalty payments over the
     initial term of the agreement. In November 1999, HP assigned the
     distribution agreement and its equity investment with the Company to
     Agilent, which was formed as a new company and was spun off to HP
     shareholders during the first six months of 2000. The Company believes
     currently available funds and cash generated from projected operating
     revenues, supplemented by proceeds from employee stock plans, warrant
     exercises and asset based credit, along with proceeds from the funding
     agreements with Agilent, will meet the Company's working capital needs. If
     the amount or timing of funding from these sources or cash requirements
     vary materially from those currently planned, the Company could require
     additional capital. The Company's long-term capital requirements will
     depend upon numerous factors, including the rate of market acceptance of
     the Company's products and the level of resources devoted to expanding the
     Company's business, manufacturing capabilities and research and development
     activities. While there can be no assurance that adequate funds will be
     available when needed or on acceptable terms, management believes that the
     Company will be able to raise adequate funding if needed.

     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
     -----------------------------

     SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
     Activities," (as amended by SFAS No. 137 with respect to the effective date
     and SFAS No. 138 with respect to certain hedging activities) will be
     effective for the Company in January 2001. SFAS No. 133 requires all
     derivatives to be recognized as assets or liabilities on the balance sheet
     and measured at fair value on a mark-to-market basis. This applies whether
     the derivatives are stand-alone instruments, such as forward currency
     exchange contracts and interest rate swaps or collars, or embedded
     derivatives, such as call options contained in convertible debt
     investments. Along with the derivatives, the underlying hedged items are
     also to be marked-to-market on an ongoing basis. These market value
     adjustments are to be included either in net earnings or loss in the
     statement of operations or in other comprehensive income (and accumulated
     in shareholders' equity), depending on the nature of the transaction. The
     Company is currently evaluating SFAS No. 133, but does not expect that it
     will have a material effect on its financial statements.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
     Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 which provides the staff's views
     in applying generally accepted accounting principles to selected revenue
     recognition issues. As amended, SAB 101 is now effective no later


                                       10
<PAGE>

     than the fourth fiscal quarter of all fiscal years beginning after December
     15, 1999. The Company will be required to adopt the guidance of this
     bulletin no later than the fourth quarter of 2000. The Company believes
     that its revenue recognition policies are in compliance with SAB 101, and
     does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial condition or
     results of operations.

     Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
     -----------------------------------------------------------------

     The Company's primary market risk exposure is foreign exchange rate
     fluctuations of the British pound sterling to the U.S. dollar as the
     financial position and operating results of the Company's U.K. subsidiary,
     Diametrics Medical, Ltd., are translated into U.S. dollars for
     consolidation. The Company's exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations
     also arises from transferring funds to its U.K. subsidiary in British
     pounds sterling. Effective November 1, 1999 most of the Company's sales are
     made to distributors and denominated in U.S. dollars, thereby significantly
     mitigating the risk of exchange rate fluctuations on trade receivables. The
     Company does not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge
     against exchange rate risk. The Company's exposure to interest rate risk is
     limited to short-term borrowings under its $1,000,000 receivable backed
     credit line. Based upon currently available information, management does
     not believe that the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations and
     interest rate risk will have a material impact on the Company's financial
     condition or overall trends in results of operations. There have been no
     material changes in market risk faced by the Company from what has been
     previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
     year ended December 31, 1999.
