     The Company's distribution agreement with Agilent Technologies, Inc.
     ("Agilent") provides for prepaid funding of research and development costs
     and royalty payments over the initial term of the agreement. These
     prepayments will be 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 first quarter of 101,978 shares of Common Stock at
     $6.75 per share. The remaining increase in shareholders' equity is
     primarily due to the issuance of 251,404 shares of Common Stock in
     connection with employee stock plans, partially offset by a net loss for
     the quarter.

(6)  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     One of the Company's directors is also a director of DVI, Inc., a health
     care finance company with which the Company has a credit line and notes
     payable. As of March 31, 2000, there were no outstanding advances against
     the $1,000,000 receivable backed credit line and the outstanding balance of
     the notes payable totaled $779,355.

     The Company's exclusive distributors, Agilent and CODMAN, a Johnson &
     Johnson company, are shareholders of the Company. Sales to these parties
     were approximately $4.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000.
     As of March 31, 2000, outstanding accounts receivable for these
     distributors represented 82% 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

                                       7
<PAGE>

     March 31, 2000, the primary funding for the operations of the Company has
     been approximately $145 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 plans to spin-off its ownership in Agilent to HP shareholders
     during 2000.

     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     ---------------------

     Sales. Sales of the Company's products were $5,670,894 for the three months
     ended March 31, 2000, compared to $4,243,187 for the same period last year,
     an increase of 34%. The increase in sales over the prior year's first
     quarter reflects an increase in instrument sales of 49%, partially offset
     by a general decrease in product pricing under the Agilent and CODMAN
     distribution agreements. The impact of reduced pricing was partially
     mitigated by $450,000 of royalty revenue from the Agilent distribution
     agreement. The significant increase in instrument sales between quarters
     was impacted primarily by sales to Agilent and CODMAN. While unit sales of
     disposable cartridges and sensors grew 26% between the first quarters of
     1999 and 2000, related revenues declined due to the impact of lower average
     sales prices described above. The Company's direct sales to Agilent and
     CODMAN comprised approximately 49% and 84% of total sales in the three
     months ended March 31, 1999 and March 31, 2000, respectively.

     Intermittent testing products represented 45% of total sales for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000, compared to 34% for the same period in 1999.
     Continuous monitoring products comprised the remaining sales in each
     period.

     Intermittent blood testing products revenue was comprised of 70% instrument
     related revenue and 30% disposable cartridge related revenue for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000. Continuous monitoring products revenue was
     comprised of 76% instrument related revenue and 24% disposable sensor
     revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2000. 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 March 31, 2000, the Company has sold
     approximately 5,600 instruments. Unit sales of instruments for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000, increased approximately 125% over unit sales
     for the same period in 1999, while disposable sensor and cartridge unit
     sales increased 26%. 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.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     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 $4,269,957, or 75% of revenue for the
     three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $3,516,906 or 83% of revenue
     for the same period last year. The quarter-to-quarter 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
     $1,109,369 and $1,535,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
     1999, respectively. The 28% decline in expenses from 1999 to 2000 is
     primarily due to the recognition in 2000 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.

     Sales and marketing expenses totaled $519,445 and $2,030,114 for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 74% decrease in
     expenses between quarters was primarily impacted by the transfer in
     November 1999 of most of the Company's sales and marketing functions to
     Agilent.

     General and administrative expenses totaled $952,053 and $896,766 for the
     three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The 6%
     period-to-period increase primarily reflects costs associated with
     increased investor relations activities and higher insurance costs.

     Operating expense run rates for the remaining three quarters of 2000 are
     targeted to approximate first quarter levels.

     Other Income (Expense). Net other income totaled $36,521 and net other
     expense totaled $171,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
     1999, respectively. The Company realized interest income of $201,018 for
     the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $42,314 for the same
     period in 1999. The period-to-period increase reflects the impact of higher
     average cash 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 $150,074 and $165,414 for the three months ended
     March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The period-to-period decrease
     reflects the impact of lower average debt balances.

     Net Loss. The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999
     was $1,143,409 and $3,907,742, respectively. The 71% reduction in net loss
     between periods reflects 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 March 31, 2000, the Company had working capital of $15,371,736, an
     increase of $362,268 from the working capital reported at December 31,
     1999. The increase is impacted primarily by

                                       9
<PAGE>

     proceeds from exercises under employee stock plans and outstanding warrants
     of approximately $1.7 million, partially offset by purchases of property
     and equipment of approximately $700,000.

     Net cash used in operating activities totaled $2,000,109 for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $4,941,506 for the same period in
     1999. This was the result of net losses of $1,143,409 and $3,907,742 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 $481,581 for the three months ended March
     31, 2000, compared to an $855,736 increase for the same period in 1999. The
     reduction in accounts receivable in the first quarter 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 the timing of sales.

     Inventories decreased $374,309 for the three months ended March 31, 2000,
     after an increase of $53,963 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. The
     decrease in 2000 was primarily due to an improvement in inventory turnover,
     due to improved inventory management. The increase in 1999 was primarily
     impacted by increased production of newly released continuous monitoring
     instrument inventory to fulfill expected demand in the second quarter of
     1999.

     Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $1,141,738 and $643,599 for
     the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The larger
     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.

     Deferred credits and revenue decreased $950,000 during the three months
     ended March 31, 2000, representing the recognition of funding from Agilent
     for research and development costs and royalty payments.

     Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $2,688 for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $3,465,097 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 $695,866 in 2000 and $151,648 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 $1,767,184 for the three
     months ended March 31, 2000, compared to $2,837,983 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
     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, partially offset by principal payments on
     borrowings and capital lease obligations.

     At March 31, 2000, the Company had U.S. net operating loss and research and
     development tax credit carryforwards for income tax purposes of
     approximately $113.9 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 $47.3 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 subsidiary of HP. The
     Company believes proceeds from the funding agreements with Agilent,
     currently available funds and cash generated from projected operating
     revenues, supplemented by proceeds from employee stock plans, warrant
     exercises and asset based credit 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) 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. On March 24, 2000, the SEC issued SAB No. 101A,
     "Deferral of the Effective Date of SAB 101 and Implementation Issues
     Related to SAB 101," which defers the effective date of SAB 101 by one
     quarter for certain registrants. SAB 101 is now effective beginning the
     second quarter of all fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999 for
     registrants with fiscal years that begin between December 16, 1999 and
     March 15, 2000. The Company will be required to adopt the guidance of this
     bulletin, beginning with the second 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

                                       11

     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.
