                          Notes to Financial Statements


(1) Basis of Presentation

     These  statements  do not contain  all  information  required by  generally
accepted  accounting  principles  to be  included  in a full  set  of  financial
statements.  In the opinion of management,  the accompanying unaudited financial
statements  reflect all adjustments  necessary to present fairly,  the financial
position  of  Electropharmacology,  Inc.  (the  "Company")  at June 30, 1996 and
results of its  operations for the six months and quarter then ended and the six
months and  quarter  ended  June 30,  1995 and its cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,  1995.  These  unaudited  financial  statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and notes contained
in the Company's  Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1995.  Results of
operations  for the quarters and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year.

     Electropharmacology, Inc. is engaged in designing, developing and marketing
proprietary  medical  devices   incorporating  pulsed  radio  frequency  ("PRF")
therapy. To date, the Company's focus has been the application of PRF therapy to
medical devices used to treat pain and edema (the abnormal accumulation of fluid
in soft tissue resulting in swelling) associated with a variety of postoperative
medical conditions.  The Company's initial product,  which is marketed under the
MRT(R)  sofPulse(TM)  name (the  "sofPulse"),  is a  compact,  easy to  operate,
non-invasive  medical device designed to deliver pulsed  electromagnetic  energy
fields  to soft  tissue  for the  treatment  of pain and  edema.  The  Company's
principal  marketing  strategy is to market the  sofPulse  to nursing  homes and
hospitals  with  access  to  substantial  numbers  of  patients.  The  Company's
objective is to establish  the  sofPulse as a standard by which  physicians  and
other healthcare providers apply postoperative treatment for pain and edema.


(2) Common Stock

     On June 11, 1996,  the Company  issued 421,950 shares of common stock as an
investor's exercise of outstanding  warrants issued in connection with a private
placement in November, 1995.

     (3) Subsequent Event

     On August 5, 1996, the Company  appointed  Joseph  Mooibroek to Chairman of
the  Board and Chief  Executive  Officer.  Mooibroek  has over  twenty  years of
experience in the medical products  industry  including the last twelve years as
founder and former  Chairman and CEO of NASDAQ listed AMEI (now  Orthofix  Inc.,
subsidiary of Orthofix International, N.V.).

     Mooibroek  graduated from Iowa State  University,  Ames,  Iowa with a BS in
Engineering  Operations and is currently  pursuing a doctorate in  International
Business at Kennedy Western University in Boise, Idaho.

     Mooibroek  succeeds David Saloff,  founder of the Company,  who will remain
with the  Company  as Vice  Chairman  and  Executive  Vice  President.  Saloff's
responsibilities will include corporate development, sales and marketing efforts
and researching potential acquisitions.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

     The  Company  was  organized  in August 1990 and  commenced  marketing  the
sofPulse  device  in early  1992.  Losses  incurred  since  inception  have been
primarily  attributable to costs incurred in connection with the development and
promotion of the  Company's  products,  research  and  clinical  studies and the
hiring of personnel necessary to support the Company's  operations.  Inasmuch as
the  Company  will  continue to have a high level of  operating  expenses in the
future  (including  salaries of  executive,  research,  technical  and marketing
personnel) and will be required to make  significant  expenditures in connection
with  research and clinical  studies as well as the  production  of the sofPulse
devices held for rental, the Company  anticipates that it will continue to incur
significant  losses until,  at the earliest,  the Company  generates  sufficient
revenues to support its  operations.  There can be no assurance that the Company
will achieve significantly increased revenues or profitable operations.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 1995

     Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $774,179,  compared to
$901,779 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  a decrease of  $127,600,  or
14.1%. This is primarily attributable to decrease in sales revenue from $194,381
for the six months  ended June 30, 1995 to $55,418 for the six months ended June
30, 1996, a decrease of $138,963,  or 71.5%. During 1995, the company sold forty
(40)  units to a  distributor,  of which  twelve  (12) were sold  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  1995.  As the  Company  has  historically  focused  its
marketing  efforts on the  rental of units as  opposed to sales,  there has been
limited sale of units during the six months ended June 30, 1996. Rentals for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were $718,761, compared with $707,399 for the six
months  ended June 30,  1995,  an  increase of $11,362,  or 1.6%.  The  relative
flatness  of rental  revenue is due  primarily  to the fact that the Company had
utilized a consultant  in early 1996 to manage the sales force while  management
sought a qualified Vice President of Sales.  An individual  with executive sales
experience in the long-term  care medical device market was located and hired by
the  Company  in  May  1996.  The  Company  has  since  engaged  six  additional
distributor groups to distribute the Company's products into its target markets.
At March 31, 1996, the company had 193 units in rental, compared to 210 units in
rental at June 30, 1996.

     Cost of  revenues  for the six  months  ended June 30,  1996 was  $113,967,
compared  to $99,472  for the six months  ended June 30,  1995,  an  increase of
$14,495,  or 14.6%. this increase is attributable  primarily to the depreciation
on the increased fleet of sofPulse units.

     Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were $1,699,972 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996, compared to $1,014,584 for the six months ended June
30, 1995, an increase of $685,388,  or 67.6%.  This increase is primarily due to
salaries for additional personnel, including clinical support services for sales
and professional fees including legal counsel to support the Company's  expanded
operations.

     Research and development  expenses decreased to $471,037 for the six months
ended June 30,  1996,  compared  to $716,909  for the six months  ended June 30,
1995, a decrease of $245,872, or 34.3%. This decrease is primarily  attributable
to the decreased  number of research and clinical studies in connection with the
Company's proposed PMA application.

     Interest  expense  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996  decreased  to
$6,815,  compared to $268,673 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, a decrease
of  $261,858,  or  97.5%.  This  decrease  is due to the  Company's  paydown  or
conversion of all  outstanding  notes payable since its initial public  offering
during May, 1995.

     Interest and other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
increased to $84,363,  compared to an expense of  $(118,636)  for the six months
ended June 30, 1995.  This increase was  attributable  primarily to the interest
income  generated by the Company's cash balances,  as well as the absence of any
amortization  of any  deferred  loan costs  during the six months ended June 30,
1996.

     The above resulted in a net loss of  $(1,433,249)  for the six months ended
June 30, 1996,  compared to a net loss of $(1,316,493)  for the six months ended
June 30, 1995.

     The Company is required to adopt a provision  of FASB No. 121,  "Accounting
for the  Impairment  of  long-lived  Assets to be  Disposed  of",  in 1996.  The
adoption of FASB No. 121 did not have a material effect on the carrying value of
the Company's long-lived assets.

     The Company does not presently intend to adopt in 1996 the fair value based
method as encouraged by Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards (FASB) No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based  Compensation".  Accordingly,  there will be no
effect to the financial statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net Cash used in  operating  activities  for the six months  ended June 30,
1996 was  $1,291,781  compared to  $1,396,425  for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  The  decrease  in  cash  used  in  operating   activities  was  primarily
attributable  to the reduction in outstanding  notes  receivable  during the six
months ending June 30, 1996.

     Net Cash used in  investing  activities  for the six months  ended June 30,
1996 was  $323,148  compared to $151,202 for the six months ended June 30, 1995.
The  increase  in  cash  used  in  investing  activities  is  primarily  due  to
expenditures  related to the  manufacturing  of sofPulse  devices during the six
month period ended June 30, 1996.

     Net Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
1996 was  $(140,978)  compared to  $4,063,640  for the six months ended June 30,
1995.  This was due primarily to the paydown of $120,000 in notes payable during
the six months  ended June 30,  1996,  in contrast to the proceeds of the public
offering consummated in May 1995.

     The  Company's  capital  requirement's  have been and will  continue  to be
significant.  Since  inception,  the Company has satisfied  its working  capital
requirements  primarily through the issuance of equity securities and loans from
stockholders. At June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $1,247,582.

     As of June 30, 1996,  the Company had  outstanding  warrants to purchase an
aggregate to 3,012,707  shares of Common Stock  (including  warrants to purchase
906,250 shares of Common Stock issued in connection  with the Company's  initial
public  offering) at an exercise price ranging from $1.00 to $9.00 per share. In
addition,  the Company had outstanding  421,950 shares of Convertible  Preferred
Stock.  The terms  upon  which  the  Company  will be able to obtain  additional
financing may be adversely affected since the holders of outstanding convertible
securities  can be expected to exercise or convert  them at a time when,  in all
likelihood, the Company would be able to obtain any needed capital on terms more
favorable to the Company than those provided by such securities.

     The Company  believes,  based on its  currently  proposed  growth plans and
assumptions  relating to its  operations,  that its available  caash  resources,
together with  projected cash flows from  operations,  will not be sufficient to
satisfy its cash requirements for the foreseeable  future.  While the Company is
currently  exploring  potential  financing  opportunities,  the  Company  has no
agreements with respect to any additional  financing.  There can be no assurance
that  additional  financing to fund the  Company's  ongoing  operations  will be
available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and the failure to obtain
any such financing could possibly require the Company to implement  further cost
reduction strategies.

Legal Proceedings


     In  April  of 1996,  an  individual  filed  an  action  against  one of the
Company's  former  customers  entitled  Vee Cee,  et al. vs.  Elite  Performance
Physical  Therapy,  et al. in Superior  Court of the State of  California in the
County of Orange. The Defendant filed a cross complaint in the same court naming
the Company as the  cross-defendant.  The  plaintiff  alleges  sustaining  burns
during  therapy  administered  by Elite  Performance  Therapy,  during which the
sofPulse was used adjunctively. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses
which it will  vigorously  pursue.  There can be no  assurance of the outcome of
this action or whether it will be resolved favorably to the Company.
