                      POSSIS MEDICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  The  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements and notes
should be read in conjunction  with the audited  financial  statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual Report.

2. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Operating  results for the three  month  period  ended  October 31, 1995 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the year ending
July 31, 1996.

3. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARD

In October 1995, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.
Pursuant to the new standard, companies are encouraged, but are not required, to
adopt  the  fair  value  method  of   accounting   for  employee   stock-  based
transactions.  Companies  are also  permitted  to  continue  to account for such
transactions  under Accounting  Principles Board Opinion No. 25,  Accounting for
Stock  Issued to  Employees,  but would be required to disclose in a note to the
financial statements pro forma net income and, if presented,  earnings per share
as if the Company had applied the new method of accounting.

Disclosure  provisions  are  required  to be adopted  when the  recognition  and
measurement  provisions  are adopted,  but no later than fiscal years  beginning
after  December 15, 1995. The Company has not yet determined if it will elect to
change to the fair  value  method,  nor has it  determined  the  effect  the new
standard  will have on net income and earnings per share should it elect to make
such a change.

4. HEART VALVE PATENT REVENUE

The Company received its heart valve patent payments from St. Jude Medical, Inc.
at six- month  intervals,  approximately  60 days following June 30 and December
31.  Management  estimated  and  recorded  the revenue  monthly and adjusted the
estimate to actual upon receipt of the payment.  In the third  quarter of fiscal
1995, the Company recorded the final payment from St. Jude.

5. COST OF MEDICAL PRODUCTS

Cost of medical products includes  manufacturing start-up expense which consists
of excess labor and material  costs,  higher than normal levels of scrap product
and unabsorbed  manufacturing overhead expenses associated with the installation
and start-up of new manufacturing processes.

6. EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The Company's  outstanding stock options and stock warrants were not included in
the  computation  of earnings  per share since the impact  would have been anti-
dilutive because of the net loss.





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


Results of Operations
Quarters Ended October 31, 1995 and 1994.

Total  revenues of $201,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1995 declined
significantly from the $949,000 reported in the comparable  year-ago period. The
revenue  reduction  is due to the  absence  of heart  valve and  pacemaker  lead
royalty payments,  both of which ended in the third fiscal quarter of last year.
Current  quarter  medical  product  revenue  consists   primarily  of  AngioJet
Thrombectomy  System sales to key European  medical opinion leaders for clinical
use. The  Company's  primary  revenue  source in the future will be sales of its
three  current  products:  the AngioJet  Thrombectomy  System,  the  Perma-Flow
Coronary Bypass Graft and the Perma-Seal  Dialysis Access Graft.  International
product  sales are  expected to increase  as these  technologically  new medical
devices gain physician  acceptance and as foreign markets are further developed.
The Company believes that the Perma-Seal  Dialysis Access Graft and the AngioJet
System for  peripheral  use will likely be cleared by the United States Food and
Drug  Administration  (FDA) for United States  marketing  during  calendar 1996,
which should result in added product  sales  revenue.  There can be no assurance
that Possis Medical will obtain FDA approval on a timely basis or at all.

The Company  incurred  $1,049,000 of medical  products costs in the three months
ended October 31, 1995, which included  approximately  $880,000 in manufacturing
startup expense. See Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements,  Note 6 in this
Quarterly   Report.   The  three  months  ended   October  31,  1994   contained
approximately $725,000 in manufacturing startup expense. The trend of increasing
manufacturing  startup  expense is  expected  to  continue  until the  Company's
product sales grow and the three products are produced in sufficient  quantities
to achieve manufacturing efficiencies.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expense increased 11% in the three months
ended October 31, 1995 over the same year-ago  period.  The $54,000 increase can
be  primarily  attributed  to a  timing-related  increase in investor  relations
spending.  Selling and marketing  expense is expected to increase in fiscal 1996
as international markets are further developed and a domestic sales organization
is established.

Expenses  incurred for research and  development  in the first fiscal quarter of
1996 increased 19% over spending  levels from the previous year.  Clinical trial
expense accounts for most of the $140,000 increased. In fiscal 1995, the Company
had three clinical  trials in process with a limited  number of study  patients.
Currently  the Company is supporting  four U.S.  clinical  trials.  Research and
development  expenses  are  expected  to  continue  to grow as the  pace of U.S.
clinical  trial  enrollment  increases and as the Company  develops new products
that leverage its existing technology base.



Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities totaled $28,522,000 on October
31, 1995 versus  $6,721,000 on July 31, 1995. The increase is  attributable to a
public stock offering  completed in October 1995.  After  expenses,  the Company
recorded net proceeds of  approximately  $23,643,000  from the sale of 1,750,000
shares of common stock. In the first week of November, the underwriter exercised
an over-allotment  option on 221,258 shares,  providing an additional $3,015,000
to the Company.  

The  Company  believes  that its  existing  cash  will be  adequate  to fund the
development  and  commercialization  of its  three  current  products.  With the
elimination of royalty revenues and the related cash inflows, the Company's cash
usage rate in the first quarter ended October 31, 1995 is significantly  greater
than the average for fiscal  1995.  We expect these higher rates of cash outflow
to decline as  international  product  sales  increase and as U.S. FDA marketing
approvals are obtained.  The Company does not expect to become profitable unless
it achieves significant sales outside the United States and its products receive
FDA marketing  approval.  There can be no assurance  that  significant  sales or
marketing approvals will occur.
