VISION-SCIENCES, INC., AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited consolidated financial statements included herein have been
prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal and
recurring adjustments) that the Company considers necessary for a fair
presentation of such information. 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. These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's latest
annual report to stockholders. The results for the interim periods
presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the
full fiscal year.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect the application
of certain accounting policies described below:
a. Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation.
b. Cash Equivalents: Cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost,
which approximates market value. Cash equivalents are short-term,
highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than three
months.
c. Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method and consist of the
following:
June 30, March 31,
1997 1997
-------- ---------

Work-in-process and finished goods inventories consist of material,
labor, and manufacturing overhead.

(Continued)
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
d. Depreciation and Amortization: The Company provides for depreciation
and amortization using the straight-line method in amounts that
allocate the cost of the assets to operations over their estimated
useful lives as follows:
Estimated
Asset Classification Useful Life
-------------------- -----------
Machinery and Equipment............................. 5 Years
Furniture and Fixtures.............................. 5 Years
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their
estimated useful lives or the lives of the leases.
e. Net Loss Per Common Share: Net loss per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares of
common stock issuable pursuant to stock options and warrants have not
been considered, as their effect would be antidilutive.
On March 3, 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings
Per Share. SFAS No. 128 establishes standards for computing and
presenting earnings per share, and applies to entities with publicly
held common stock or potential common stock. This statement is
effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 1997, and early
adoption is not permitted. When adopted, the statement will require
restatement of prior years' earnings per share. The Company will
adopt this statement for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1998. In
addition, the Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 128 will
not have a material effect on its financial statements.
f. Revenue Recognition: The Company recognizes revenue upon product
shipment.
g. Foreign Currency Transactions: The Company charges foreign currency
exchange gains or losses, in connection with its purchases of products
from vendors in Japan, to operations in accordance with SFAS No. 52,
Foreign Currency Translation.
- 6 -
h. Income Taxes: The Company accounts for income taxes under the
liability method in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for
Income Taxes. Under SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets or liabilities
are computed based upon the differences between the financial
statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured
by the enacted tax rates.
The Company has recorded a valuation allowance equal to its net
deferred tax asset due to the uncertainty of realizing the benefit of
this asset.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased $66,918, or 3.7%,
versus the comparable prior year three-month period. The increase in sales was
primarily due to an increase in sales of medical products of $75,013, or 7.5%,
partially offset by a decline in sales of industrial products of $8,095, or 1%,
versus the comparable prior year three-month period. The increase in sales of
medical products was due primarily to improved acceptance of the Company's
disposable EndoSheath/R/ technology in the ENT and sigmoidoscopy markets. For
the three months ended June 30, 1997, sales of ENT and sigmoidoscope sheaths
increased 21% and 18%, respectively, versus the comparable prior year three-
month period. This increase was partially offset by a decline in sales of
endoscopes and accessories.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 1997 increased to $359,253, or
19% of net sales, versus $96,511, or 5% of net sales, for the comparable prior
year three-month period. The increase in gross profit was due primarily to the
increase in sales of disposable EndoSheaths, which have a higher gross profit
than endoscopes, and to reduced factory overhead expenses resulting from
reductions in staffing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30,
1997 decreased $598,000, or 41%, versus the comparable prior year three-month
period, and amounted to 46% of net sales in the current three-month period. For
the three-month period ended June 30, 1996, selling, general and administrative
expenses amounted to 81% of net sales. The decrease in these expenses was
primarily attributable to reduced administrative payroll costs and the change
from a direct sales force to independent sales representatives.
Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1997
decreased $404,194, or 61%, versus the comparable prior year three-month period,
and amounted to 14% of net sales for the current three-month period. In the
three-month period ended June 30, 1996, these expenses amounted to 37% of net
sales. The decrease in these expenses was due primarily to reduced headcount
resulting from the Company's decision to focus primarily on improvements in its
existing products.
Interest income, net, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, decreased
$24,523 versus the comparable prior year three-month period due to lower cash
balances. The Company had lower cash balances during the three-month period
ended June 30, 1997 versus the comparable prior year three-month period due to
its use of cash to primarily fund operating losses during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1997.
Other income (expense) net, for the three months ended June 30, 1997, increased
$90,848 compared to the prior year three-month period due primarily to increased
royalty income from both new and existing agreements, including an initial
license fee of $50,000 from a company. This fee is for the non-exclusive use of
certain technology of the Company in the fields of gynecology and urology.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
As of June 30, 1997, the Company had $2,942,295 in cash and cash equivalents,
and working capital of $2,465,962. The Company also had a cash collateralized
demand line of credit with a bank for borrowings of up to $250,000. At June 30,
1997, there was approximately $203,000 available under this line for use in
support of general working capital needs and the issuance of commercial and
standby letters of credit. The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased
$261,024 in total from March 31, 1997, due primarily to an increase of $264,491
from operations, partially offset by purchases of capital equipment.
The Company's net accounts receivable decreased $600,994 to $1,248,413 at June
30, 1997, from $1,849,407 at March 31, 1997. This decrease was primarily
attributable to improved collections. During the period ended June 30, 1997,
the Company's inventories decreased $28,635 to $677,707. The decrease was
primarily attributable to reductions in finished goods resulting from increased
sales. The Company's capital expenditures during the three months ended June 30,
1997 were approximately $3,700. The Company anticipates that capital
expenditures for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1998 will be less than
$250,000.
The Company has incurred losses since its inception and losses are expected to
continue at least through the first two quarters of the fiscal year ending March
31, 1998. To date, the Company has funded the losses principally with proceeds
from public and private equity financings. The Company will be required to
obtain additional financing or an alternative means of support; however, there
can be no assurances that such funding or financial support will be available or
adequate to allow the Company to continue as a going concern. The Company is
currently pursuing various sources of financial support. In the event that
these or other plans are not successful, there is substantial doubt concerning
the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
