                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      For the Period Ending June 30, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

     BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
     
     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company 
     and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Endovascular, Inc., a California 
     corporation. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been 
     eliminated in consolidation.
     
     Although unaudited, the interim consolidated financial statements in this
     report reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, 
     which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement 
     of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the 
     interim periods covered and of the financial condition of the Company 
     at the interim balance sheet dates.  The results of operations for the 
     interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results 
     expected for the entire year.
     
     The year-end balance sheet information was derived from audited 
     consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures 
     required by generally accepted accounting principles.  These 
     consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with 
     the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes 
     thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the 
     year ended December 31, 1996.
     
     The Company has experienced recurring loses from operations and has an
     accumulated deficit of $15,869,768 at June 30, 1997.  These matters raise
     substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going 
     concern.

                                                     -----------  ------------
                                                     -----------  ------------

     A substantial portion of the note payable to Ballard was applied to the
     purchase price of assets sold on March 20, 1997 (see Note 5).
     
5.   Acquisition or Distribution of Assets:

     On February 28, 1997, Ballard, through a wholly owned subsidiary,
     delivered notice to the Company of its exercise of its option to purchase
     all the Company's assets pursuant to the Stock Purchase and Option
     Agreement entered into on July 17, 1995 as amended (the "Option
     Agreement").  The Option Agreement was approved by the Company's
     stockholders at special meeting which took place on November 13, 1995. On
     March 20, 1997, Neuro Navigational Corporation, now known as Kinetic
     Ventures Ltd., a Delaware Corporation, completed the sale of substantially
     all of its assets to Ballard Medical Products, a Utah corporation.

     The purchase price for the assets was $4,245,422, plus an adjustment for
     prepaid rent of $2,233.  Deducted from the purchase price were the
     $500,000 consideration paid for the option under the Option Agreement,
     $198,631 of liabilities assumed, $3,671,471 principal and interest owing
     by the Company to Ballard and liquid assets of $11,695, or a net purchase
     price deficiency of $134,142.

                                  (Unaudited)

     The Company's 200,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock were redeemed and
     retired.  The Company paid the deficiency of $134,142 in the payment of
     the purchase price by issuing to Ballard at the closing its 10% promissory
     note due on demand. Concurrently, pursuant to authorization granted by
     the stockholders at the special meeting held on November 13, 1995, the
     Company changed it name to Kinetic Ventures Ltd.
     
6.   Income Taxes:
     
     At December 31, 1996 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
     federal and state purposes of approximately $16,490,000 and $8,290,000,
     respectively.  In addition, the Company had research and experimentation
     credit carryforwards for federal and state purposes of approximately 
     $350,000 and $132,000, respectively.  These tax loss carryforwards are 
     more than adequate to negate any current tax liability from the sale 
     of the Company's assets to Ballard, accordingly no provision for 
     income taxes has been recorded at June 30, 1997.
     
7.   Commitments:
     
     The Company's noncancelable operating leases for office space and 
     equipment were assumed by Ballard as part of the sale of the assets 
     on March 20, 1997.

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

On March 20, 1997 the Company completed the sale, pursuant to a Stock 
Purchase and Option Agreement dated July 17, 1995, of substantially all its 
assets to Ballard Medical Products ("Ballard"). Reference should be made to 
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 
1996 and its Current Report on Form 8-K for March 31, 1997 for a description 
of the transaction and the Company's future business plans.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Financial 
Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on 
Form 10-QSB. In addition the Company desires to take advantage of certain 
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that 
provide a "safe harbor" for forward looking statements made by or on behalf 
of the Company. Except for the historical information contained herein, the 
matters discussed herein are forward looking statement, the accuracy of which 
is necessarily subject to risks and uncertainties. Specifically, the Company 
wishes to alert readers that the information set forth in "Item 1. 
Description of Business--Proposed business Plans," and the Company's 
intentions and efforts to enter into further business activities contained in 
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 
1996 are forward looking statements. Various factors, including the inability 
of management to identify, locate and acquire in a timely manner future 
business activities, among other matters discussed in this Report, may 
adversely affect the Company's ability to remain in existence. Failure to 
locate further business activities could lead to the dissolution of the 
Company.

Until the company is successful in entering into further business activities, 
it can be expected that its revenues will be nominal.

NET SALES
- ---------
Net Sales decreased to $Nil for the three months and $345,450 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $557,613 for the three months and 
$1,306,924 for the six months June 30, 1996 a decrease of 100% and 73% 
respectively. For the first quarter of the year, the decrease in sales was 
attributable to a decrease in sales through an international distributor and 
the uncertainty in the marketplace due to the impending sale of the Company's 
assets. The sale was completed on March 20, 1997 which resulted in there 
being no sales activity for the quarter ended June 30, 1997.

GROSS PROFIT
- ------------
Gross Profit decreased to $Nil for the three months and $91,476 for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $215,678 for the three months and 
$416,508 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 a decrease of 100% and 78% 
respectively. This decrease in both the quarter and year to date was due to 
lower sales volume.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
- ------------------------
Research and Development expenses represent the Company's investment in the 
advancement of less invasive technology in the fields of neuro and vascular 
surgery. These expenses decreased to $Nil for the three months and $110,919 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $223,451 for the three 
months and $523,374 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 a decrease of 100% 
and 79% respectively. This decrease was due to a decrease in personnel and 
related benefit costs and an reduced spending in expenses related to the 
Company's vascular products including clinical and regulatory submissions.

SALES AND MARKETING EXPENSES
- ----------------------------
Sales and Marketing expenses were $Nil for the three months and $315,137 for 
the six months and ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $457,357 for the three 
months and $885,090 for the six months and ended June 30, 1996 a decrease of 
100% and 64% respectively. This decrease was related to lower sales volume.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
- -----------------------------------
General and administrative expenses were $31,563 for the three months and
$241,090 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared to $197,023
for the three months and $444,852 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 a
decrease of 83% and 46% respectively. The decrease for the three months
and year to date was due primarily to reduced insurance premiums for
product liability coverage and Directors and Officers liability insurance
and the sale of the business on March 20, 1997.

                                       10

the six months ended June 30, 1997. Net loss was $696,580 for the three 
months and $1,480,655 for the six months ended June 30, 1996, a decrease of 
$661,525 and an increase of $2,671,239 respectively. The increase for the 
three months and year to date is primarily attributable to the gain on sale 
of the Company's assets.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
Working capital was a deficit of $163,755 at June 30, 1997 as compared to 
working capital deficiency of $1,658,896 at June 30, 1996 or a decrease of

facilities such as revolving loans or lines of credit that could provide
additional working capital.
