(A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2003


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 January 31, 2003 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.

3. CAPITAL STOCK

In January, 2003, the company sold 1,400,000 shares of its common stock in
a private placement for $1.25 per share, resulting in net proceeds of
$1,711,010.

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

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.

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 eighteen 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



5


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 larger, more comprehensive system and the systems
of other companies. 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 $20,129,426 from our inception
through January 31, 2003. 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.

Our success is dependent upon the successful development and marketing of the
Vasotrac system, the MJ23 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.

In September 2000, we signed an OEM module agreement with Nihon Kohden that
calls for us to develop and produce a Vasotrac module that will be integrated
into the Nihon Kohden patient monitoring product family. As a part of this
agreement, Nihon Kohden placed an initial order for Vasotrac OEM modules, to be
delivered over the initial 18 months, and paid us a down payment of $125,000,
which has been treated as deferred revenue on our financial statements. In
November 2001, we shipped our first Vasotrac module prototype products to Nihon
Kohden. As a result of the Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare approval, we
have shipped the first production batch to Nihon Kohden in October 2002.
Subsequently, in January 2003, we delivered another production batch of MJ23
Modules to Nihon Kohden, and as a result, we recognized a large portion,
$116,555 of the $125,000, of deferred revenue.

We have been adding our own sales employees with the goal of building 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 limited
showings has been favorable. During this past quarter, we have seen an increase
in sales activity for the Vasotrax. 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 is currently 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


6


(including sensors for use on infants, and disposable sensors), to sustain
engineering support for manufacturing, and 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 nineteen months from January
31, 2003. On January 23, 2003, we sold an additional 1,400,000 shares of common
stock at $1.25 per share. This transaction netted an additional $1.75 million of
capital. 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 expenditures 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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The results of operations compares the three months and nine months ended
January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The analysis of liquidity and capital
resources compares January 31, 2003 to April 30, 2002.

Operating revenue was $277,088 and $191,866 for the quarters ended January 31,
2003 and 2002, respectively, an increase of 44%. Operating revenue was $788,280
and $489,706 for the nine months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively,
an increase of 61%. The operating revenue increase was attributed to the
increase of direct sales employees, as well as a result of shipments of our MJ23
Module to Nihon Kohden of Japan.

Cost of sales and product development decreased to $188,002 vs. $199,497 for the
quarters ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Cost of sales and
product development increased to $549,362 vs. $483,279 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This is attributed to higher cost
associated with the initial release and shipment of the MJ23 module.

The Company incurred $113,723 and $154,272 for research and development expenses
for the quarters ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company
incurred $447,780 and $449,788 for research and development for the nine months
ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to
our shift in focus from research and development to sales and marketing.

The Company incurred $309,435 and $334,955 for sales and marketing expenses for
the quarters ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The Company incurred
$1,050,713 and $1,158,003 for sales and marketing expenses for the nine months
ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, 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, more densely populated geographic
territories.

The Company incurred $160,571 and $161,076 for general and administrative
expenses for the quarters ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The
Company incurred $454,238 and $504,932 for general and administrative expenses
for the nine months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease
in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to
transferring our accounting functions to our Danvers, Massachusetts office.

Interest income was $4,152 and $19,048 for the quarters ended January 31, 2003
and 2002, respectively. Interest income was $20,323 and $104,699 for the nine
months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The decrease reflects the
reduction in cash and cash equivalents balances and declining interest rates.



7


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $3,193,154 and $3,048,051 at
January 31, 2003 and April 30, 2002, respectively reflecting the continued
investment in sales and marketing. In addition, on January 23, 2003, the Company
sold 1,400,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $1.25 per share, raising
$1,750,000.

With the cash and cash equivalents, and short and long-term investments, the
Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its working capital
needs for approximately nineteen months from January 31, 2003. The Company has
no significant capital expenditure commitments.

Cash flows used in operations decreased to $1,529,511 for the nine months ended
January 31, 2003 from $1,696,118 for the nine months ended January 31, 2002, a
decrease of $166,607. In both periods, cash flows were used primarily to fund
operating losses, which were partially offset by non-cash expense for
depreciation.

Financing activities provided $1,750,000 for the quarter ended January 31, 2003,
and nothing for the quarter ended January 31, 2002.

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.
