(1)  Adjustment of Prior Quarterly Financial Statements

     In connection with the Company's reconciliation and evaluation of its
annual physical inventory, the Company identified an error resulting from the
under relief of inventory (overstatement of inventories and understatement of
cost of goods sold). This item effected the financial statements covering each
of the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2001. Accordingly,
the Company has adjusted its quarterly financial statements included herein. The
effect of the adjustment is presented below:

(2)  The Company:

     CAS Medical Systems, Inc., (the Company), was organized in 1984 primarily
to serve neonatal and pediatric units in hospitals. Today, the Company is
engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and distributing diagnostic
equipment and medical products for use in the health care and medical industry.
These products are sold by the Company through its own sales force, via
distributors and pursuant to Original Equipment Manufacturer agreements
internationally and in the United States.

     The Company has recently expanded its product offerings by acquiring apnea
monitor product lines.

                                                                   June 30, 2001
                                                                          Page 9

Event-Line(R) Monitoring System
-------------------------------

     During October 1999, the Company acquired the Event-Line(R) product line
from a third party. The purchase includes the infant and adult apnea monitors
and accessories for hospital and home use, as well as the Event-Link(R) Software
for data retrieval and display. The Event-Link system offers options that
combine cardio-respiratory monitoring, pulse oximetry and event recording to
provide complete, objective documentation and monitoring of all age groups. The
Event-Link(R) Monitoring system is a natural extension for both the neonatal
specialty and diagnostic monitoring product lines, as CAS builds its hospital
monitoring business and expands into the homecare marketplace.

Apnea Product Line
------------------

     During November 2000, the Company purchased a complete product line of
Apnea monitors from a third party. The product line includes Edentec
Assurance(R) monitors, Edentred(R) monitors, Edentred(R) software, Aequitron
9500/9550 AMI(R) and AMI(R) Plus monitors, and related report generating
software programs. The acquisition of the product line further strengthens the
Company's position in the Apnea monitoring market place. The purchase price was
allocated to the assets acquired based upon their estimated fair values at the
date of acquisition as follows:

             Inventories             $1,640,000
             Equipment                  225,000
             Intangible assets          112,600
             Accrued expenses           (77,600)
                                     ----------
                                     $1,900,000
                                     ==========

(5)  Debt

     The Company has a $2,000,000 line of credit with a Connecticut bank. The
line is repayable upon demand and matures in September 2001. Borrowings under
the line of credit bear interest at the bank's base rate, which may change from
time to time. (Base rate as of June 30, 2001 is 7.5 percent.) At June 30, 2001,
there were no borrowings outstanding under this line. The bank has a first
security interest in all assets of the Company and requires a compensating
balance equal to 10% of the line of credit.

(6)  Grant Award:

     On September 22, 2000, the Company was awarded a Phase II Grant by the
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH) under its Small Business Innovative Research Program.
This grant, expected to be between $800,000 and $1,000,000, will be used to
continue development of a new technology that can non-invasively measure the
brain oxygenation level of a neonatal patient. In accordance with the terms of
the grant, the Company will be reimbursed for qualifying expenditures under the
agreement. Funding provided to the Company will be recorded as a reduction of
the related research expenses. No funds under this grant have been received as
of June 30, 2001.

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

     Results of Operations
     ---------------------
     The Company reported for the six month period ended June 30, 2001 a net
loss of approximately ($68,000), compared to a net income of approximately
$462,000 ($0.05 per common share on a diluted basis), reported for the same
period of 2000. While overall sales increased on a comparative basis for the
three and six month period ended June 30 over the prior year, approximately
$506,000 and $1,194,000 of these sales, respectively, were attributable to our
new product line acquired in November 2000. The mix of products sold over the
past six months, as compared to the same period last year, has been more heavily
weighted toward products with traditionally lower gross margins. We expect this
trend to continue over the next six months. In addition, production and support
costs associated with the new product line are running higher than we might
otherwise anticipate due to the investments necessary to build and strengthen
our manufacturing capacity and know-how to support this new line. We have also
expanded and invested in building our sales force and administrative functions
necessary to support anticipated sales growth from our product line.

                                                                   June 30, 2001
                                                                         Page 12

     Net sales for the second quarter ended June 30, 2001 increased by
approximately $563,000 or 18.5 percent to $3,608,000, compared to net sales of
approximately $3,046,000 for the second quarter of 2000. Net sales for the six
month period ended June 30, 2001 were approximately $7,300,000, exceeding the
comparable period of 2000 by $1,337,000, or 22.4 percent. Sales of the Apnea
product line acquired in November 2000 were primarily responsible for the
increase in overall sales, while sales to Original Equipment Manufacturers
"OEM") sales decreased by 39.0 percent.

     Cost of product sales as a percentage of net product sales was 55.0 percent
for the current period ended June 30, 2001 compared to 47.0 percent for the same
period in 2000. The unfavorable impact was due primarily to product mix, reduced
sales of OEM product and component cost increases. The Company is pursuing
purchasing or design alternatives and other product cost reductions to improve
its gross profit.

     Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were $2,814,000 and $2,141,000, respectively, and
$1,436,000 and $1,078,000, respectively, for the second quarter ended June 30,
2001 and 2000. The increases in SG&A expenses of $673,000 and $358,000 from the
comparable prior year periods resulted primarily from increases in personnel,
sales and marketing functions, increases in selling expenses, including
commission and certain professional fees.

     Research and product development (R&D) expenses increased by 27.0 percent
to approximately $480,000 for the period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
approximately $378,000 for the comparable period in the prior year. The increase
is due to new product development, including Neonatal Optical Non-Invasive Brain
Oxygenation Monitor (NIRS), a non-invasive method to detect brain oxygenation in
newborns, and support for the existing product lines.

     Interest expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were
approximately $106,000 and $20,000, respectively. The increase in interest
expenses of $86,000 from the comparable prior year period resulted primarily
from the debt associated with the acquisition of Apnea Product Line during
November 2000.

     The provision for income taxes, which represents state and federal income
taxes for the six month period ended June 30, 2001, was a reduction of ($44,000)
compared to $305,000 for the same period last year.

Backlog
-------
     The Company's practice is to ship its products upon receipt of a customer's
order or pursuant to customer requested ship dates. On June 30, 2001, the
Company had a backlog of orders from customers for products with requested ship
dates in 2001 totaling approximately $694,200, deliverable throughout 2001.
During the third quarter of 2001, the Company anticipates fulfilling
approximately $478,000 of this backlog.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
----------------------------------------------------
     At June 30, 2001, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $305,000
compared to $915,000 at December 31, 2000 (a decrease of 66.7 percent). The
Company's working capital totaled $5,269,000 on June 30, 2001, compared to
$5,435,000 on December 31, 2000. The Company's decreased cash position is due to
internally financing additional manufacturing equipment and additional staff to
support the Apnea Monitor product line acquisition. During the quarter ended
June 30, 2001, the Company invested in short-term notes, earning interest of
approximately $18,700.

                                                                   June 30, 2001
                                                                         Page 13




     At June 30, 2001, the Company had a line of credit with a Connecticut bank
totaling $2,000,000. Borrowings under the line bear interest at the bank's base
rate, which may change from time to time (7.5% at June 30, 2001). At June 30,
2001, there were no borrowings outstanding under this line.

     The Company believes that the cash generated from operations and its bank
line of credit will be sufficient to meet the Company's short term liquidity
needs.
