                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Escalon Medical Corp.:

     We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Escalon
Medical Corp. and subsidiaries (the "Company") at June 30, 2002 and 2001, and
the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2002. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Escalon
Medical Corp. and subsidiaries at June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended June 30, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America.

     As discussed in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets, effective July 2001.
