                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The information presented for June 30, 1996 and 1997, and for the
         periods then ended is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (which
         consist only of normal recurring adjustments) which the management of
         Neoprobe Corporation (the "Company") believes to be necessary for the
         fair presentation of results for the periods presented. 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 the rules and
         regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results for
         the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be
         expected for the year. The financial statements should be read in
         conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the
         year ended December 31, 1996, which were included as part of the
         Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A (file no. 0-26520). Certain
         1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1997
         presentation.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 ("SFAS No. 128")
         "Earnings Per Share". SFAS No. 128 revises the method for computing and
         format for presentation of earnings per share for entities with
         publicly held common stock. This Statement supersedes APB Opinion No.
         15 and is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
         after December 15, 1997. Management of the Company intends to adopt
         SFAS No. 128 in connection with the issuance of financial statements
         for the year ended December 31, 1997; however, management does not
         believe adoption will have any material impact on the financial
         condition or results of operations of the Company.

         The Company is a development stage enterprise engaged in the
         development and commercialization of technologies for the diagnosis and
         treatment of cancers. There can be no assurance that the Company will
         be able to commercialize its proposed products. There can also be no
         assurance that adequate financing will be available when needed or on
         terms attractive to the Company.

         The components of inventory are as follows:

3.       LONG-TERM DEBT

         Neoprobe (Israel) Ltd. ("Neoprobe (Israel)"), a subsidiary of the
         Company, is in the process of constructing a radiolabeling facility
         near Dimona, Israel, for use in future operations of the Company.
         Construction of the facility is being partially financed under an
         investment program approved by the state of Israel's Finance Committee
         (the "Committee"). In July 1997, the Company was notified that the
         Committee had approved a $3.5 million increase in the approved
         investment, bringing the total approved investment to $8.3 million.
         Under the approved program, Neoprobe (Israel) is entitled to government
         grants and government loan guarantees equal to a percentage of the
         total loan taken for the construction and operation of the facility.
         Amounts received under the agreement are collateralized by certain
         property obtained through the use of proceeds received. As of June 30,
         1997, Neoprobe (Israel) has received approximately $1.7 million and
         $400,000 in the form of loans and grants, respectively.

4.       STOCK OPTIONS

         In February 1997, the Board granted options to certain directors,
         officers, and employees of the Company under the Neoprobe Corporation
         Incentive Stock Option and Restricted Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan")
         for 325,200 shares of common stock, exercisable at $13.38 per share,
         vesting over a period of three years. Currently, the Company has
         approximately 2.4 million options outstanding under the Plans, and
         approximately 1.4 million options have vested as of June 30, 1997.

5.       AGREEMENTS

         In May 1997, the Company and United States Surgical Corporation (USSC)
         executed an amendment ("Amendment No.1") to the License and
         Distributorship Agreement (the "Main Agreement"). Amendment No.1
         revises terms of the Main Agreement related to sales of Neoprobe
         instruments by USSC's subsidiaries in certain foreign countries. Under
         Amendment No.1, Neoprobe will sell devices directly to USSC's
         subsidiaries for resale within the affected territories according to a
         set price structure, but will no longer pay USSC a commission on sales
         of such devices. The term of Amendment No.1 coincides with the term of
         the Main Agreement.

6.       CONTINGENCIES

         The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in
         the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the
         amount of ultimate liability with respect to these actions will not
         materially affect the financial position of the Company.


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

   This Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
   Operations and other parts of this Report contain forward-looking statements
   that involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results in 1997
   and future periods may differ significantly from the prospects discussed in
   the forward-looking statements.

   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Since inception, the Company has financed its operations primarily through
   private and public offerings of its equity securities, from which it has
   raised gross proceeds of approximately $120 million. The Company has devoted
   substantially all of its efforts and resources to research and clinical
   development of innovative systems for the intraoperative diagnosis and
   treatment of cancers. The RIGS system integrates radiolabeled targeting
   agents and a radiation detection instrument. The Company has completed
   testing in a pivotal Phase III clinical trial for the detection of metastatic
   colorectal cancer.



                                        7

   The Company must obtain regulatory approval to market its products before
   commercial revenue can be generated. During 1996, the Company submitted to
   the European regulatory agencies and to the FDA applications to request
   permits to begin marketing and selling the Company's RIGS products for the
   detection of metastatic colorectal cancer. During the fourth quarter of 1996,
   the Company received notification from its Korean marketing partner that it
   had received an approved license to distribute RIGScan CR49 in South Korea.
   The Company began distributing commercial product in Korea during 1997.

   The Company is studying the safety and efficacy of RIGS products for the
   detection of other solid tumor cancer types, and the safety and efficacy of
   certain cancer therapy products (RIGS/ACT) based on its activated cellular
   therapy technology. In addition, the Company is funding the initial Phase I
   study to determine the safety and feasibility of using activated cellular
   therapy to help boost the immune system of patients with HIV/AIDS and patient
   enrollment was completed during the first quarter of 1997. There can be no
   assurance that the Company's products will be approved for marketing by the
   FDA or any foreign government agency, or that any such products will be
   successfully introduced or achieve market acceptance.

   For the period from inception to June 30, 1997, the Company has incurred
   cumulative net losses of approximately $76.1 million. The Company does not
   currently have a RIGS product approved for commercial sale, but has filed its
   request for a marketing permit in the U.S. and Europe. The Company has
   incurred, and will continue to incur, substantial expenditures for research
   and development activities related to bringing its products to the commercial
   market. The Company intends to devote significant additional funds to
   clinical testing, manufacturing validation, and other activities required for
   regulatory review and commercialization of RIGS products. The amount of funds
   and length of time required to complete such testing will depend upon the
   outcome of regulatory reviews. The regulatory bodies may require more testing
   than is anticipated by the Company. There can be no assurance that the
   Company's RIGS products will be approved for marketing by the FDA or any
   foreign government agency, or that any such products will be successfully
   introduced or achieve market acceptance.

   As of June 30, 1997, the Company has cash, cash equivalents, and
   available-for-sale securities of $36.6 million. In April 1996, the Company
   sold 1,750,000 shares of common stock at a price of $18.50 per share in a
   secondary offering, and received proceeds net of underwriting discounts of
   $30.5 million. In November 1992 and December 1993, the Company issued a total
   of 2,330,000 Class E Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrants ("Class E
   Warrants") which expired on November 12, 1996. During 1996, the Company
   received proceeds from the exercise of Class E Warrants of approximately
   $15.0 million. In September 1996, the Company received a $2 million license
   payment from United States Surgical Corporation ("USSC"). If the Company does
   not receive FDA and European regulatory approvals for the RIGS system within
   24 months from the execution date, and if USSC terminates the Agreement
   pursuant to certain provisions in the Agreement during this period, the
   Company must refund the license payment to USSC.

   The Company anticipates that 1997 research and development expenses will
   continue to increase over 1996 levels and selling, general and administrative
   expenses will increase significantly over 1996 expenditures. A significant
   portion of the increased selling, general and administrative expenses will be
   associated with marketing activities in preparation for the commercial launch
   of the first RIGS product. In addition, the Company anticipates expenses
   directly associated with selling RIGScan CR49 and the Neoprobe 1000 system
   will increase proportionately with sales, particularly in the second half of
   1997. The Company cannot predict when marketing approvals will be received.
   However, when the Company receives permission from the regulatory authorities
   to begin marketing its products and begins generating revenue from the sale
   of its products, additional costs for marketing and distribution will be
   incurred. During 1997, in addition to product launch activities, the Company
   will continue to focus on improving manufacturing processes for the
   production of RIGS products and developing other RIGScan products. The
   Company also anticipates opening clinical trials for additional applications
   of RIGScan CR49. The Company currently anticipates that approximately $21.0
   million in cash will be used to finance operating activities during 1997. The
   Company has executed various agreements with third parties that supplement
   the technical and business








                                        8

   capabilities of the Company. The Company is generally obligated to such
   parties to pay royalties or commissions upon commercial sale of the related
   product. The Company's estimate of its allocation of cash resources is based
   on the current state of its business operations, its business plan, and
   current industry and economic conditions, and is subject to revisions due to
   a variety of factors including without limitation, additional expenses
   related to marketing and distribution, regulatory licensing and research and
   development, and to reallocation among categories and to new categories. The
   Company may need to supplement its funding sources from time to time.

   Neoprobe Europe AB ("Neoprobe Europe"), formerly NewMonoCarb AB, is a
   wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, located in Lund, Sweden, where it
   operates a manufacturing and purification facility. The Company intends to
   use the production capability of Neoprobe Europe to produce future RIGScan
   products and to prepare the CC49 monoclonal antibody produced by
   Bio-Intermediair BV for final radiolabeling. The Company advanced Neoprobe
   Europe funds during the first half of 1997 to cover capital expenditures of
   approximately $360,000 and operating expenses of approximately $650,000. The
   Company anticipates advancing $1.4 million during the second half of 1997 to
   cover operating and capital expenditures.

   In 1994, the Company formed Neoprobe (Israel) to construct and operate a
   radiolabeling facility for the Company's targeting agents. The Company owns
   95 percent of Neoprobe (Israel), with Rotem Industries Ltd., the private arm
   of the Israeli atomic energy authority ("Rotem") owning the balance and
   managing the facility. Construction of a facility is underway near Dimona,
   Israel and is being financed through an investment program approved by the
   state of Israel's Finance Committee ("the Committee"). In July 1997, the
   Company was notified that the Committee had approved an increase in the
   approved investment of $3.5 million, bringing the total approved investment
   to $8.3 million. Under the approved program, Neoprobe (Israel) is entitled to
   government grants and government loan guarantees equal to a percentage of the
   total loan taken for the construction and operation of the facility. Amounts
   received under the agreement are collateralized by certain property obtained
   through the use of proceeds received. As of June 30, 1997, Neoprobe (Israel)
   had received approximately $1.7 million and $400,000 in the form of loans and
   grants, respectively. On August 10, 1995, the Company and Neoprobe (Israel)
   raised $1.1 million for Neoprobe (Israel) through the issuance of convertible
   debentures. During 1996, all of these convertible debentures were converted
   into 200,000 shares of Common Stock of Neoprobe Corporation. Costs associated
   with construction of the facility and operations at Neoprobe (Israel) during
   1997 have been financed primarily through funds advanced by the Company and
   with government grants and loans guaranteed by the Israeli government. During
   the first half of 1997, Neoprobe (Israel) expended approximately $2.1 million
   on capital expenses and approximately $560,000 on operating activities. The
   Company anticipates Neoprobe (Israel) will have approximately $2.7 million of
   capital expenditures and approximately $580,000 of operating expenditures
   during the second half of 1997.

   At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards of
   approximately $55.6 million to offset future taxable income through 2011.
   Additionally, the Company has tax credit carryforwards of approximately $1.9
   million available to reduce future income tax liability through 2011. Under
   Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, use of prior
   net operating loss carryforwards is limited after an ownership change. As a
   result of ownership changes which occurred in March 1989 and in September
   1994, the Company's net operating tax loss carryforwards and tax credit
   carryforwards are subject to the limitations described by Section 382.

   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   Since inception, the Company has dedicated substantially all of its resources
   to research and development of its RIGS system for the interoperative
   diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Until the appropriate regulatory approvals
   are received, the Company is limited in its ability to generate revenue.
   Although the Company's Neoprobe 1000 and Neoprobe 1500 systems have received
   regulatory clearance, the Company does not anticipate generating positive
   cash flow from sales of the Neoprobe 1000 or 1500 systems alone. During the
   first half of 1997, the Company generated sales of Neoprobe 1000 systems of
   approximately $2.1 million. Sales of the Neoprobe 1500 are expected to start
   during the third quarter of 1997.

   Since acquiring Neoprobe Europe in December 1993 for the purpose of
   manufacturing RIGScan products, Neoprobe Europe has continued to generate
   revenue from the sale of its serology products. Neoprobe Europe generated
   sales of serology products of approximately $100,000 during the first half of
   1997. The Company currently plans to sell Neoprobe Europe's serology business
   and develop production capacity at Neoprobe Europe for future RIGScan
   products. As a result, the Company anticipates that revenue generated from
   sale of serology products will continue to decline in 1997 and subsequent
   periods.

   Three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997. Total net sales for the three
   months ended June 30, 1997 were approximately $1.1 million, compared to net
   sales of approximately $159,000 during the same period during 1996. The
   increase is attributed to the increased level of sales of the Neoprobe 1000
   Portable Radioisotope Detector during the second quarter of 1997. Net sales
   in the second quarter of 1997 related almost entirely to the Neoprobe 1000.
   Net sales in the second quarter of 1996 related primarily to sales of
   serology products by Neoprobe Europe of $104,000. Interest income for the
   three months period ended June 30, 1997 was approximately $623,000, compared
   to interest income of approximately $568,000 for the same period in 1996.

   Research and development expenses increased to approximately $5.7 million for
   the second quarter in 1997 from approximately $3.8 million in 1996. The
   expenses increased as a result of additional contracted services and wages
   and benefits. Contracted services increased primarily from instrument
   development efforts as well as ongoing validation efforts related to the
   commercialization of RIGScan CR49. Wages and benefits increased primarily due
   to new personnel added over the course of the first quarter and second
   quarter of 1997. Research and development expenses also increased due to
   activities associated with the Company's therapy business. The Company
   expects these expenses to continue during the remainder of 1997.

   Marketing and Selling expenses increased to approximately $955,000 during the
   second quarter of 1997 from approximately $239,000 for the same period in
   1996. The increase was a result of commissions earned by the Company's
   marketing partner associated with sales of the Neoprobe 1000 system,
   additional staff, and RIGScan CR49 pre-launch activities.

   General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $2.0 million
   during the second quarter of 1997 from approximately $1.2 million during the
   same period of 1996. The increase was a result of hiring additional staff,
   and increased costs for rent, equipment leases, and taxes.

   Six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1997. Total net sales for the six months
   ended June 30, 1997 were approximately $2.2 million, compared to net sales of
   approximately $356,000 during the same period in 1996. The increase is from
   the level of sales of the Neoprobe 1000 Portable Radioisotope Detector during
   the first half of 1997. Net sales during the first half of 1997 were
   primarily related to the sale of the Neoprobe 1000. Net sales during the
   first half of 1996 consisted primarily of sales of serology products by
   Neoprobe Europe. Interest income for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997
   was approximately $1.2 million compared to interest income of approximately
   $803,000 for the same period in 1996. During 1996, the Company also collected
   other income of approximately $230,000 related to a license fee paid upon the
   exercise of an option for marketing rights in additional territories in Asia.

   Research and development expenses increased to approximately $9.2 million in
   the first half of 1997 from approximately $6.3 million in the first half of
   1996. The expenses increased as a result of additional contracted services
   and wages and benefits. Contracted services increased primarily from
   instrument design development efforts as well as ongoing process and
   validation efforts related to the commercialization of RIGScan CR49. Wages
   and benefits increased primarily due to new personnel added in 1997. Research
   and development expenses also increased due to activities associated with the
   Company's therapy business.

   Marketing and Selling expenses increased to approximately $1.8 million in the
   first half of 1997 from approximately $344,000 in the first half of 1996. The
   increase was primarily a result of commissions earned by the Company's
   marketing partner from sales of the Neoprobe 1000 system, additional staff,
   and RIGScan CR49 pre-launch activities.

   General and administrative expenses increased to approximately $3.6 million
   in the first half of 1997 from approximately $2.4 million in the first half
   of 1996. The increase was a result of hiring additional staff, and increased
   costs for rent, equipment leases and taxes.
