Medwave, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)

Notes To Financial Statements

October 31, 2002
(Unaudited)


1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Medwave, Inc. (the "Company"), a development stage company, is engaged
exclusively in the development, manufacturing and marketing of a
proprietary, noninvasive system that continually monitors arterial blood
pressure, and in the development of related technology and products.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The financial information presented as of October 31, 2002 has been
prepared from the books and records without audit. Financial information
as of April 30, 2002 is based on audited financial statements of the
Company but does not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary
for a fair presentation of the financial information for the periods
indicated have been included. For further information regarding the
Company's accounting policies, refer to the financial statements and
related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2002.


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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified
by, the Company's financial statements set forth in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

GENERAL

The Company, which was formed in 1984, is a development stage company that
currently employs seventeen full-time and two part-time employees. Since our
inception, we have been engaged exclusively in the development and marketing of
devices for monitoring and devices for measuring blood pressure. Utilizing our
proprietary technology, we developed the Vasotrac(R) APM205A system which
monitors blood pressure, providing new readings approximately every fifteen
heartbeats. We believe that the continual blood pressure readings, non-invasive
qualities, pediatric capability, interfacing ability, and performance under
difficult conditions such as motion make the Vasotrac the most advanced approach
to blood pressure monitoring. In February 1995, we received clearance from the
US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market the Vasotrac system. We have
also developed a hand-held blood pressure monitor, the Vasotrax(R). This
hand-held monitor is based on the technology used in the Vasotrac system. In
August 2000, we received FDA clearance, which has allowed us to begin marketing
the Vasotrax in the United States for use on adult patients by trained medical
personnel. In addition, pursuant to an agreement with Nihon Kohden of Japan, we
have developed an OEM module of our Vasotrac continual non-invasive blood
pressure monitor. The module is designed to be integrated into Nihon Kohden's,
as well as other company's larger, more comprehensive systems. The Ministry of
Health and Welfare in Japan has recently approved the MJ23 OEM Module for use
with Nihon Kohden monitoring systems in Japan, and as a result, shipments to
Nihon Kohden have begun.

We have incurred an accumulated deficit of $19,638,931 from our inception
through October 31, 2002. We expect to incur additional losses from development,
testing, regulatory compliance, sales, marketing and other expenses at least
until we emerge from the development stage.



5






Our success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing of the
Vasotrac system, the Vasotrac module, and the Vasotrax hand-held monitor as well
as related technology. However, there can be no assurance that our products or
related technology will be successfully marketed or sold in sufficient
quantities and at margins necessary to achieve and/or maintain profitability.

We are currently adding our own sales employees to work with dealers in order to
provide better product support. We currently anticipate a direct sales force of
approximately 10 employees that will work to penetrate geographically dense
areas, and when appropriate, work with regional dealers to expand overall
coverage. We are also currently looking for a distribution partner for the
Vasotrax hand-held monitor outside the hospital market. The success of our
product sales will depend upon the ability of dealers and/or sales
representatives to sell the products to the hospitals, their affiliates, and
other markets.

The initial response regarding our Vasotrax hand-held monitor from focus groups
and limited showings has been favorable. However, we may need to establish
additional distribution arrangements, and complement those arrangements with a
number of Medwave employees who will act as "in-house" experts. The Vasotrax
hand-held monitor will be targeted at the pre-hospital (EMT and EMS) market, the
hospital market, and the post-hospital markets (sub-acute, skilled nursing
homes, homecare, and physician offices).

We are using cash and cash equivalents primarily to increase our sales and
marketing efforts and increase awareness of Medwave and our technology in the
market, to continue clinical testing of the Vasotrac system, the Vasotrax
hand-held monitor and related technologies, to continue to validate our
technology against traditionally used blood pressure monitoring devices, to
create peer-to-peer consensus regarding Medwave's technology, and to provide
working capital. Over the next twelve months, we will also continue research and
development. Specifically, we expect to use funds to develop alternative sensors
(including sensors for use on infants, and disposable sensors), to sustain
engineering support for manufacturing, to continue development of the Vasotrax
hand-held monitor. During the next year, we do not expect to spend any material
amount on equipment in connection with these initiatives. Even assuming only
limited sales, we believe that our cash and cash equivalents should allow us to
meet our cash requirements for approximately twelve months from October 31,
2002. We may seek additional capital through bank borrowing, equipment
financing, equity financing, and other methods. Our financing needs are subject
to change depending on, among other things, market conditions and opportunities,
equipment or other asset-based financing that may be available, and cash flow
from operations. Any material favorable or unfavorable deviation from our
anticipated expense could significantly affect the timing and amount of
additional financing that we may require. However, additional financing may not
be available when needed or, if available, may not be on terms that are
favorable to us or our security holders. In addition, any such financing could
result in substantial dilution to our existing security holders.

Statements made in this report that are stated as expectations, plans,
anticipations, prospects or future estimates or which otherwise look forward in
time are considered "forward-looking statements" and involve a variety of risks
and uncertainties, known and unknown, which are likely to affect the actual
results. The following factors, among others, as well as factors discussed in
the Company's other filings with the SEC, have affected and, in the future,
could affect the Company's actual results: resistance to the acceptance of new
medical products, the market acceptance of the Vasotrac system, the Vasotrax
hand-held unit or other products of the Company, hospital budgeting cycles, the
possibility of adverse or negative commentary from clinical researchers or other
users of the Company's products, the Company's success in creating effective
distribution channels for its products, the Company's ability to scale up its
manufacturing process, and delays in product development or enhancement or
regulatory approval. Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be
guaranteed and actual results may vary materially.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations compares the three months and six months ended October
31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The analysis of liquidity and capital resources
compares October 31, 2002 to April 30, 2002.

Operating revenue was $301,577 and $124,949 for the quarter ended October 31,
2002 and 2001, respectively, an increase of 141%. Operating revenue was $511,192
and $297,840 for the six month period ended October 31, 2002 and 2001,
respectively, an increase of 72%. The operating revenue increase was attributed
to the increase of both direct sales employees and regional specialty
distribution companies, as well as a result of shipments of our MJ23 Module.

Cost of sales and product development increased to $200,480 vs. $125,887 for the
quarters ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Cost of sales and
product development increased to $361,360 vs. $283,782 for the six month period
ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. This is attributed to higher cost
associated with the release and shipment of the MJ23 module.

The Company incurred $195,893 and $161,599 for research and development expenses
for the quarters ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company
incurred $334,058 and $295,516 for research and development expenses for the six
month period ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The increase was
primarily due to the final requirements for the MJ23 module.

The Company incurred $353,020 and $410,867 for sales and marketing expenses for
the quarter ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The Company incurred
$741,278 and $823,048 for sales and marketing expenses for the six month period
ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease was a result of
hiring sales professionals who have a lower fixed and higher variable cost, and
who are also focussing on smaller geographic territories.

The Company incurred $153,590 and $172,083 for general and administrative
expenses for the quarter ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
Company incurred $293,661 and $343,855 for general and administrative expenses
for the six month period ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The
decrease in general and administrative expenses was attributable to a reduction
in legal costs and as a result of transferring our accounting functions to our
Danvers, Massachusetts office.

Interest income was $7,298 and $47,840 for the quarter ended October 31, 2002
and 2001, respectively. Interest income was $16,171 and $85,651 for the six
month period ended October 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively The decrease reflects
the reduction in cash, and cash equivalents balances and declining interest
rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash, and cash equivalents were $2,002,154 and $3,048,051 at
October 31, 2002 and April 30, 2002, respectively reflecting the continued
investment in sales and marketing.

With the cash and cash equivalents, and short and long-term investments, the
Company believes that sufficient liquidity is available to satisfy its working
capital needs for approximately twelve months from October 31, 2002. The Company
has no significant capital expenditure commitments.

Cash flows used in operations decreased to $1,043,964 for the six months ended
October 31, 2002 from $1,183,394 for the six months ended October 31, 2001, a
decrease of $139,430. In both periods, we used cash flows primarily to fund
operating losses, which were partially offset by non-cash expense for
depreciation. The primary use of cash in operations for the six month period
ended October 31, 2002 was for decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid
expenses. The primary use of cash in operations for the six month ended October
31, 2001 was for decreases in accounts payable and prepaid expenses.

Financing activities provided nothing for the quarter ended October 31, 2002,
and nothing for the quarter ended October 31, 2001.


CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The
preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates
and judgments that affect amounts reported in the financial statements. The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more
significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial
statements.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of products at the time of shipment
of the product. Amounts received from customers in advance of the shipment of
the products are recorded as deferred revenue.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical
collections of accounts receivable. The Company continually monitors its
accounts receivable balances. If the financial condition of customers
deteriorate, additional allowances may be required.

Deferred Taxes
The Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this report, an evaluation was carried
out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's
management, including its Chief Executive Officer, of the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-14. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to
material information relating to the Company required to be included in the
Company's periodic SEC filings. There were no significant changes in the
Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect
these controls subsequent to the date of his evaluation.
