              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 AND MARCH 31, 1996

A.    GENERAL

      Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the research,
      development, marketing and manufacture of products for use in the field
      of low-temperature medicine.

      The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 30, 1997, the Consolidated
      Statements of Operations for the three month periods ended March 30, 1997
      and March 31, 1996, and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the
      three month periods ended March 30, 1997 and March 31, 1996, have been
      prepared without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
      necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of
      operations, and cash flows at March 30, 1997, and for all periods then
      ended, have been recorded.  All adjustments recorded were of a normal
      recurring nature.

      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
      that these consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with
      the financial statements and notes thereto for the six-month transistion
      period ended December 29, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on
      Form 10-K for the six-month transition period ended December 29, 1996.

      The results of operations for the period ended March 30, 1997 are not
      necessarily indicative of the operating results anticipated for the
      fiscal year ending December 28, 1997.

B.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

      Net loss per share is based on the weighted average number of common
      shares outstanding during the three month periods ended March 30, 1997
      and March 31, 1996.  No effect has been given to unexercised stock
      options or warrants because the effect would be antidilutive.

D.   CONTINGENCIES

     In November 1996, the Company filed suit against EndoCare, Inc. and
     ZhoaHua Chang in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (Case
     No. 161496). The lawsuit alleges, among other things, that EndoCare
     misappropriated trade secrets of Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., and that
     EndoCare tortiously interfered with the Company's contracts, its
     relationships with employees, and Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s contractual
     and potential business relationships with customers. The lawsuit, which
     contains six counts, also alleges that Dr. Chang and EndoCare engaged in
     unfair competition against the Company and civil conspiracy, and that Dr.
     Chang, who was formerly employed as a Vice President of Cryosurgical
     Engineering by Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., breached contractual and
     fiduciary obligations owed to the Company by his employment by EndoCare,
     his retention and misuse of Cryomedical Sciences' confidential
     information, and his improper solicitation of the Company's employees to
     disclose trade secret information and/or to become employed by EndoCare.
     Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. has asserted that by accepting employment with
     EndoCare, Dr. Chang violated the covenant not to compete contained in his
     employment agreement with the Company.  In an Order dated April 3, 1997,
     the Circuit Court of Montgomery County, Maryland has ordered a hearing on
     Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s motion seeking a preliminary injunction to
     enforce the covenant not to compete contained in the employment agreement
     between the Company and Dr. Chang.  The hearing is scheduled for July 2,
     1997, and the Court has ordered that certain limited discovery take place
     prior to that hearing.  EndoCare and Dr. Chang have denied allegations in
     the lawsuit.  In March 1997, Dr.  Chang filed a counter-suit in the
     Circuit Court for Montgomery County, Maryland (Case No. 161496-V)
     regarding numerous claims of a breach of contract by the Company.  The
     Company intends to defend this case vigorously.

            FOR THE PERIODS ENDED MARCH 30, 1997 AND MARCH 31, 1996

E.   TRANSACTIONS AFFECTING COMMON STOCK

     On January 2, 1997, the Company issued 37,730 shares of common stock, in
     connection with the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

     In January 1997, the Company issued 5,508,168 shares of the Company's
     common stock at an average weighted price of $0.283 per share in
     connection with the completion of the October 2, 1996 sale of convertible
     preferred stock to foreign investors, for which the Company received
     $1,924,935 of net proceeds.

F.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128 "Earnings Per
     Share," was recently issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board.
     SFAS No. 128 is effective for periods ending after December 15, 1997 and
     early adoption is not permitted.

     SFAS No. 128 requires the company to compute and present a basic and
     diluted earnings per share.  Had the Company computed net loss per share
     in accordance with SFAS No. 128 for the three months ended March 30, 1997,
     there would be no difference in the reported net loss per share.

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


     Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s business activities focus primarily on
manufacture and marketing related to its cryosurgical systems (the
"AccuProbe").  The Company plans to continue to market its AccuProbe Systems in
the various fields for which the original 400 series device received clearance
from the FDA in April 1991 and the 500 series received FDA clearance in
December 1995.  In March 1997 the Company received FDA clearance for the
AccuProbe 600 series and submitted a 510(k) application for the new
Cryo-lite(R) family of hand held cryosurgical products.  The CMS AccuProbe
Systems are cleared for marketing in the fields of dermatology, general
surgery, neurosurgery, thoracic surgery, ENT, gynecology, oncology, proctology
and urology.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Sales and other operating revenues for the three months ended March 30,
1997 and March 31, 1996 totaled $986,849 and $2,026,593, respectively,
representing a decrease of 51%.  The Company's operating revenues in the three
months ended March 30, 1997 included sales of 1 CMS AccuProbe System,
disposable probes and other accessories. During this period, the Company's
revenues also included the placement of 1 AccuProbe System through a
consignment agreement.  Sales for the three months ended March 31, 1996
included 7 AccuProbe Systems, in addition to disposable probes and other
accessory products.  The Company believes revenues in the three months ended
March 30, 1997 reflect a decline in the number of AccuProbe Systems sold and
fewer procedures performed using single-use AccuProbe accessories due primarily
to lack of formal Medicare reimbursement for urologic cryosurgery.  The Company
hopes that the FDA clearance of the CMS AccuProbe 600 series and the FDA 510(k)
submission of the Cryo-lite(R) hand-held cryosurgical products in March 1997
will increase system, disposable probe and other accessory revenue from current
levels, although there can be no assurance in this regard.  Through March 30,
1997, the Company has placed a total of 148 AccuProbe Systems since the product
was introduced in June 1992.

     Gross Profits for all products for the three months ended March 30, 1997
totaled $642,357, or 65% of sales, compared to gross profits of $1,012,490, or
50% of sales, for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The gross profit
percentage increased in the three months ended March 30, 1997, as compared to
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year, due to a reduction in field
service expenses and a favorable change in product mix.

     Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 30,
1997 totaled $275,780, a decrease of 12% compared to $313,027 for the
comparable period of the prior fiscal year. Development expenses decreased due
to reduction in headcount and development of smaller, less expensive products.

     Sales and marketing expenses for the three months ended March 30, 1997
totaled $203,151, a decrease of 66% compared to $592,954 for the comparable
period of the





                                       9
   10
prior fiscal year.  Sales and marketing expenses decreased over the comparable
period of the previous year due to reduced headcount and the associated
reduction in travel and entertainment expenses.

     General and administrative expenses for three months ended March 30, 1997
totaled $269,698, a decrease of 48% compared to $522,974 for the comparable
period of the prior fiscal year.  General and administrative expenses decreased
due to reductions in headcount, insurance premiums and the use of consultants.

     Despite a reduction in revenues, compared to the prior year's comparable
period, the Company achieved decreases in operating expenses and increased
gross profits from product cost reductions. As a result the Company sustained
net losses of $90,299 for the three months ended March 30, 1997 compared to net
losses of $412,668 in the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.

      Sales of the AccuProbe are increasingly affected by the level of
reimbursement by public and private insurers in connection with procedures in
which the AccuProbe is utilized.  The availability of consistent, uniform
insurance reimbursement guidelines for hospitals and physicians is an important
factor often considered by some potential customers when making a decision
regarding the purchase of any new medical device, including the AccuProbe
System.  Reimbursement of hospitals and urologists by public and private
insurers such as Medicare and Blue Cross and Blue Shield is a necessary part of
gaining general acceptance for use of the AccuProbe for urological cryosurgery.
Although no national payment guidelines for urological cryosurgery have been
established by Medicare's Health Care Financing Administration ("HCFA"), the
Company was advised in October 1996 that HCFA is planning to put into effect
its Technology Advisory Committee's recommendation that a national noncoverage
policy be adopted in regard to cryoablation of the prostate.  It is the
Company's understanding that HCFA is exploring the possibility of working with
various agencies, including the American Urology Association, in establishing a
nationwide randomized prospective clinical study to collect data on a
comparative basis between cryosurgery and radiation therapies.  The results of
this study will provide the basis on which a future determination regarding
Medicare reimbursement will be made.  When insurance coverage is not available,
patients may either elect to pay for treatment themselves or undergo
traditional therapies which are covered by their insurers.  Uncertainty and
added efforts required for the Company's customers, or potential customers, to
secure payment has constrained sales and utilization of AccuProbe systems to a
large degree and may continue to do so until formal national coverage
guidelines are established.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At March 30, 1997, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term
investments totaling $1,584,646 and working capital of $3,047,057, as compared
to $1,879,393 and $3,164,304, respectively, at December 29, 1996.  The
Company's cash and working capital positions decreased from December 29, 1996
due primarily to increases in inventory, purchases of equipment and the net
loss of $90,299 sustained by the Company in the quarter ended March 30, 1997.





                                       10

      Capital expenditures for leasehold improvements, and equipment totaled
$161,217, including $94,087 in consignment and loaner AccuProbe Systems, in the
three months ended March 30, 1997, compared to $56,252 and $0 respectively, in
the comparable period of the prior fiscal year.  The Company does not expect to
spend more than $750,000 in total for additional equipment in the year ending
December 28, 1997.

      The Company expects to incur expenditures over the next 12 months related
to development, manufacturing and testing of its products and for sales and
marketing efforts and other operating expenses.  The Company's management
assumes that sales for the remainder of the quarterly periods in 1997 may be
less than the level experienced in comparable year ago periods and believes
that its current cash and working capital position will be sufficient to fund
the operations of the Company for the next 12 months, dependent, in part, on
the level of sales and marketing activity engaged in by the Company, and the
amounts of development funded by the Company.  However, the Company expects to
continue to reduce expenditures if necessary and to pursue various forms of
short term financing to supplement working capital during the next 12 months
and possibly additional equity financing.  Except for the sale of its products,
the Company currently has no other major sources of liquidity and has no
commitments with regard to obtaining any additional funds.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.       Legal Proceedings

              In November 1996 the Company filed suit against EndoCare, Inc.
              and ZhoaHua Chang in the Circuit Court for Montgomery County,
              Maryland (Case No. 161496).  The lawsuit alleges, among other
              things, that EndoCare misappropriated trade secrets of
              Cryomedical Sciences, Inc., and that EndoCare tortiously
              interfered with the Company's contracts, its relationships with
              employees, and Cryomedical Sciences, Inc.'s contractual and
              potential business relationships with customers.  The lawsuit,
              which contains six counts, also alleges that Dr. Chang and
              EndoCare engaged in unfair competition against the Company and
              civil conspiracy, and that Dr. Chang, who was formerly employed
              as a Vice President of Cryosurgical Engineering by Cryomedical
              Sciences, Inc., breached contractual and fiduciary obligations
              owed to the Company by his employment by EndoCare, his retention
              and misuse of Cryomedical Sciences' confidential information, and
              his improper solicitation of the Company's employees to disclose
              trade secret information and/or to become employed by EndoCare.
              Cryomedical Sciences, Inc. has asserted that by accepting
              employment with EndoCare, Dr. Chang violated the covenant not to
              compete contained in his employment agreement with the Company.
              In an Order dated April 3, 1997, the Circuit Court of Montgomery
              County, Maryland has ordered a hearing on Cryomedical Sciences,
              Inc.'s motion seeking a preliminary injunction to enforce the
              covenant not to compete contained in the employment agreement
              between the Company and Dr. Chang.  The hearing is scheduled for
              July 2, 1997, and the Court has ordered that certain limited
              discovery take place prior to that hearing. EndoCare and Dr.
              Chang have denied allegations in the lawsuit.  In March 1997, Dr.
              Chang filed a counter-suit in the Circuit Court for Montgomery
              County, Maryland (Case No. 161496-V) regarding numerous claims of
              a breach of contract by the Company.  The Company intends to
              defend this case vigorously.
