              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

  1.   The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
  prepared by CardioTech International Inc. (the "Company" or "CardioTech"),
  without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
  Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of management, all
  adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
  presentation of interim period results.  The preparation of financial
  statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
  requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
  amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
  liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
  of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Certain information and
  footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
  accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
  or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The Company believes,
  however, that its disclosures are adequate to make the information presented
  not misleading.  The results for the interim periods presented are not
  necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

  2.   In June 1996, the Company issued 1,412,625 shares of Common Stock, par
  value of $.01 per share (the "Common Stock") for $3.8 million in cash,
  equipment having an estimated market value of $147,000, the transfer of
  certain vascular graft manufacturing patents, and the forgiveness of certain
  amounts due to PMI.  After it acquired these shares, PMI owned 3,929,493
  shares, or 92.6% of  Common Stock.  On June 12, 1996 and June 19, 1996, PMI
  distributed (the "Spin Off") all of the shares of Common Stock that it owned
  to its stockholders of record as of June 3, 1996.  On June 11, 1996, all
  advances from PMI to CardioTech were forgiven and are classified by the
  Company as additional paid in capital.

  3.   Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
  shares of Common Stock outstanding.  Common equivalent shares from stock
  options and warrants are excluded from the computation as their effect is
  anti-dilutive.

  4.   On October 1, 1996, the Company signed a two (2) year lease agreement
  with Poly -Medica Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,(U.S.A.), the owner or lessor of the
  office, manufacturing and research facilities currently occupied by the
  Company in Woburn, MA and Tarvin, Cheshire, UK.  The lease agreement replaces
  in its entirety the service agreement between PMI and the Company, signed in
  June 1996.  The lease agreement expires on September 30, 1998. Thereafter, the
  Company has the right upon ninety (90) days written notice to the landlord, to
  terminate the lease. The base rent (including payments for electricity) in the
  first year is approximately $200,000 and in the second year is $186,000.  The
  lease agreement also provides for a two (2) year payback of approximately
  $20,000 in build out costs increased by the landlord in behalf of the Company.

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

OVERVIEW

       CardioTech synthesizes, designs and manufactures medical-grade polymers,
  particularly polyurethanes that it believes are useful in the development of
  vascular graft technology and other implantable medical devices because they
  can be synthesized to exhibit compatibility with human blood and tissue.
  CardioTech is using proprietary manufacturing technology to develop and
  fabricate small bore synthetic vascular grafts made of ChronoFlex(R), a family
  of polyurethanes that has been demonstrated to be biodurable, blood and tissue
  compatible and non-toxic.

       In addition to the graft research and development program, since 1990
  CardioTech has been engaged in various internal programs and joint venture
  programs with corporate partners and internal programs for the development and
  sale of ChronoFlex and other proprietary biomaterials for use in medical
  devices manufactured by third parties.  This activity has generated research
  revenues for CardioTech.

       As CardioTech is now focusing most of its research and development
  resources on the vascular graft program, period to period comparisons of
  changes in research revenues are not necessarily indicative of results to be
  expected for any future period.

       CardioTech was established as a separate subsidiary of PMI in March 1993,
  to focus on PMI's existing biomaterials business, with a particular emphasis
  on accelerating the research, development and commercialization of small bore
  vascular graft products through external funding and a more focused and
  strategic product development effort.  In June 1996, PMI spun off the Company
  (the "Spin Off").  See Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

       CardioTech is headquartered in Massachusetts and operates from
  manufacturing and laboratory facilities located in Woburn, Massachusetts and
  Tarvin, Cheshire, United Kingdom.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

       Comparison for the Three Months Ended December 31, 1996 and 1995.

       Research revenues for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 were $281,092
  compared to $89,697 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995, an increase of
  $191,395 or 213%. This increase was primarily generated by higher research
  revenues ($209,000) received, under research grants from the National
  Institute of Health, ("NIH"), and under research contracts ($10,000), offset
  by lower sales of medical grade polyurethanes ($14,700) and decreased royalty
  revenue ($13,000).

       Research and development expenses for the quarter ended December 31, 1996
  were $367,395, compared to $289,541 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995,
  an increase of $77,854 or 27%.  This increase was primarily the result of
  increased research and development related to clinical trials of the Company's
  vascular access graft in Europe and the NIH grants. Some expenses ($80.000)
  related to the NIH grants were incurred by the Company was a result of the
  Company contracting work to outside laboratories and hospitals.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended
  December 31, 1996 were $264,796, compared to $101,579 for the quarter ended
  December 31, 1995 an increase of $163,217 or 160%.  The increase in selling,
  general and administrative expenses reflects the additional costs incurred by
  the Company subsequent to the Spin Off on June 11, 1996.  These costs include,
  but are not limited to expenses related to the establishment of a separate
  finance, accounting and administrative function ($50,000), investor and public
  relations ($65,000) legal representation ($18,700), insurance ($15,000), rent
  ($10,000) and advertising ($4,000).

       Interest income for the quarter ended December 31, 1996 was $33,234,
  compared to $0 during the quarter ended December 31, 1995. This income was
  received on available cash and investment balances of the Company.

       Comparison of the Nine Months ended December 31, 1996 to the Nine Months
  ended December 31, 1995.

       Research revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 were
  $501,460, compared to $143,310 for the nine months ended December 31, 1995.
  An increase of $358,150 or 250 %. This increase was primarily generated by
  higher research revenues ($358,150) under the NIH grants, higher product sales
  ($21,265), and higher royalty income on specialty designed polyurethanes for a
  medical device manufacture ($34,639) offset by reduced contract research
  income ($44,016).

                                       8

 
       Research and development expenses for nine month period ended December
  31, 1996 were $829,677, compared to $638,285 for the period ended December 31,
  1995, a increase of 191,392 or 30%. This increase was primarily the result of
  increased expeditions related to clinical trials of the Company's vascular
  access graft in Europe and the NIH grants.

       Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
  December 31, 1996 were $570,431, compared to $247,649 for the nine months
  ended December 31, 1995, an increase of 322,782 or 130%.  This increase
  reflects the additional costs incurred by the Company subsequent to the Spin
  Off, including expenses related to the establishment of a separate finance and
  accounting group, ($65,000), investor relations and public reporting fees,
  ($110,000), rent, ($32,000), insurance ($58,600) and legal representation,
  ($57,000).

       Other income and expenses for the nine months ended December 31,1996 was
  expenses of $320,512, compared to $0 during the nine months ended December 31,
  1995.  During the nine months ended December 31, 1996, the Company incurred
  $393,879 in Spin Off transaction costs offset by interest income of $73,385.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       CardioTech's future growth will depend on its ability to raise capital to
  support research and development activities and to commercialize its vascular
  graft technology.  To date, CardioTech has not generated any revenue from the
  sale of vascular grafts, although it has received a minor amount of research
  revenues relating to its other biomaterials applications and funding from the
  NIH to support graft research.  Since inception, funding from PMI has been
  used to finance the development of CardioTech's technologies.  CardioTech
  expects to continue to incur operating losses unless and until product sales
  and/or royalty payments generate sufficient revenue to fund its continuing
  operations.

       CardioTech will require substantial funds for further research and
  development, future pre-clinical and clinical trials, regulatory approvals,
  establishment of commercial-scale manufacturing capabilities, and the
  marketing of its products.  CardioTech's capital requirements depend on
  numerous factors, including but not limited to, the progress of its research
  and development programs, the progress of pre-clinical and clinical testing,
  the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of
  filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any intellectual property rights,
  competing technological and market developments, changes in CardioTech's
  development of commercialization activities and arrangements, and the purchase
  of additional facilities and capital equipment.

       CardioTech is currently conducting its operations with approximately
  $2,600,000 in cash contributed by PMI in connection with the Spin Off.
  CardioTech estimates such amounts will be sufficient to fund its initial
  working capital and research and development activities through June 1998.

       Past spending levels are not necessarily indicative of future spending
  levels.  From the inception of CardioTech's business through March 31, 1996,
  PMI has funded approximately $4.1 million in operating losses to support
  CardioTech's research activities. Future expenditures for product development,
  especially relating to outside testing and clinical trials, are discretionary
  and, accordingly, can be adjusted to available cash.

       CardioTech will seek to obtain additional funds through public or private
  equity or debt financing, collaborative arrangements, or from other sources.
  There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available at all
  or on acceptable terms to permit successful commercialization of CardioTech's
  technology and products.  If  adequate funds are not available, CardioTech may
  be required to curtail significantly one or more of its research and
  development programs, or obtain funds through arrangements with collaborative
  partners or others that may require CardioTech to relinquish rights to certain
  of its technologies, product candidates or products.
