For the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, none of the options
outstanding were included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for
those periods because the Company had incurred net losses, and the inclusion of
options would have been anti-dilutive.


(4) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 ("SFAS 130"),
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains
and losses) in the financial statements. The Company currently has no items that
would be included as a component of other comprehensive income.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS:

CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS FORM 10-Q INCLUDE "FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT
OF 1995. ALL FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS IN THIS FORM 10-Q ARE BASED ON
INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO THE COMPANY AS OF THE DATE HEREOF AND THE COMPANY
ASSUMES NO OBLIGATION TO UPDATE ANY FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT. SUCH STATEMENTS
INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH MAY CAUSE
THE ACTUAL RESULT TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM ANY FUTURE RESULTS, PERFORMANCE OR
ACHIEVEMENTS EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. SUCH FACTORS
MAY INCLUDE THE COMPANY'S LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES AND UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE
RESULTS, THE UNCERTAINTY OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE OF THE COMPANY'S PRODUCT, THE
REGULATED NATURE OF THE MEDICAL DEVICE MARKET AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE
REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT TO AFFECT THE COMPANY'S ABILITY TO MARKET ITS PRODUCTS,
THE POTENTIAL FOR OTHER MEDICAL DEVICE COMPANIES TO DEVELOP COMPETITIVE
PRODUCTS, THE COMPANY'S LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN THE DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING AND
COMMERCIALIZATION OF ITS PRODUCT AND OTHER RISK FACTORS LISTED FROM TIME TO TIME
IN THE COMPANY'S FILINGS WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.


OVERVIEW

Applied Biometrics, Inc. ("Applied Biometrics" or "the Company") is a
late-development stage medical device company in the business of development and
commercialization of advanced medical diagnostic and monitoring systems. The
Company's core competencies in ultrasound transducer technology, signal
processing, cardiac anatomy and pathology, and the fluid dynamics of blood flow
position it to develop and commercialize a range of diagnostic and patient
monitoring products. The Company is currently involved with the development of a
new product that monitors the blood pumping capability of a patient's heart for
use during and after open-heart surgery.

During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the Company completed the distribution
of Cardia, Inc. common stock to the shareholders on February 11, 1999. The
completion of the Cardia distribution allows the Company to now focus all its
resources on completing the development of its cardiac output monitoring system.
The Company made substantial development progress on the cardiac output
monitoring system during the quarter, including such critical items as hiring of
key management and technical personnel, and assessing the requirements needed
for manufacturing, quality systems and clinical validation. The Company plans to
continue adding technical and other staff to meet its development and
commercialization objectives.


RESULTS OF CONTINUING OPERATIONS

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 with
the Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

General and administrative expenses decreased $28,000 in the first quarter of
1999 from $206,000 to $178,000 over the same quarter last year, due to lower
personnel and related costs that were eliminated with the distribution of Cardia
during 1999 quarter. Lower personnel costs were partially offset by increased
costs related to the Cardia distribution. Research and development expenses
decreased $46,000 from $253,000 in 1998 to $206,000 in 1999, primarily due to
the timing of greater clinical testing activity in the 1998 quarter and reduced
personnel and related costs in the 1999 quarter eliminated with the Cardia
distribution. Operating costs are expected to increase as the Company adds
personnel, equipment and other costs to complete the development and bring to
market its cardiac output monitoring system. This forward looking statement will
be influenced primarily by the Company's estimate

of time and resources needed to complete development, the Company's ability to
establish manufacturing and quality systems necessary to produce the product and
market acceptance of the cardiac output monitoring system.

Other income, primarily interest income decreased $33,000 from $57,000 in the
first quarter of 1998 to $24,000 in the 1999 quarter. The decrease is due to
lower average investment balances in the 1999 quarter than the 1998 quarter.
Investment resources were used throughout the 1998 year for development efforts
toward both the Company's cardiac output monitoring system and the transcatheter
closure device which comprised the core technology distributed with Cardia, Inc.

The first quarter 1999 net loss from continuing operations was $360,000, or
$0.08 per share, compared to a net loss of $567,000, or $0.13 per share in 1998,
including a $166,000 loss from discontinued operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents were $1,900,000 at March 31, 1999 as compared to
$2,400,000 of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at December 31,
1998, a reduction of $500,000.

Continuing operating activities used cash of $344,000 in the first three months
of 1999 and the first three months of fiscal 1998. Discontinued operations used
cash of $121,000 during the current quarter as compared to $184,000 in the prior
year.

Investing activities provided $485,000 in the 1999 quarter as compared $607,000
in the 1998 quarter, primarily due to the maturity of short-term investments.
$4,000 was used in 1999 for the purchase of equipment as compared to $43,000 in
1998. Discontinued operations used $11,000 and $3,900 in the 1999 and 1998
quarters respectively. Financing activities in the current quarter provided
$25,000 of cash from the exercise of stock options. $92,500 of cash was
generated in the prior 1998 quarter from stock option exercises.

The Company believes that based on its expected rate of spending, that its
existing cash and cash equivalents will enable the Company to meet its cash
requirements for approximately the next nine to twelve months. The Company will
need additional financing in order to successfully meet its current product
development and market commercialization plans for its cardiac output monitor
system. The Company is exploring alternatives for obtaining additional working
capital.


NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130 ("SFAS 130"),
REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME, which establishes standards for reporting and
displaying comprehensive income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains
and losses) in the financial statements. The Company currently has no items that
would be included as a component of other comprehensive income.

Other than the above, no other new accounting pronouncements have been issued
that will have a impact on the Company's financial statements.


YEAR 2000 READINESS - UPDATE


                                       9
<PAGE>


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

The following Year 2000 disclosure update is required by the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and constitutes a "Year
2000 Readiness Disclosure" as defined in the Year 2000 Information and Readiness
Disclosure Act.

The "Year 2000" or "Y2K" problem references the problem caused by computer
systems that have historically been written using two digits rather than four
digits to define the applicable year. Additionally, Y2K includes a problem
calculating leap year if a computer system does not correctly identify the year
2000 as being a leap year. Company computer systems and other equipment and
technology having date sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the
year 1900 rather than the year 2000 and may not recognize the year 2000 as a
leap year. The Company has instituted a Year 2000 readiness program (the "Y2K
Plan") in order to identify, evaluate and address its exposure to these
problems.

For purposes of its Y2K Plan, the Company defines "Year 2000 compliant" to mean
that a product or service accurately process dates and times into and between
the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, into and between the years 1900 and
2000, performs correct leap year calculations and properly exchanges date and
time information with other products or services when used in combination. The
goal of the Y2K Plan is to ensure that the Company's products, equipment,
systems and processes and those of its significant business partners are
sufficiently Year 2000 compliant such that no date/time issue will have any
adverse impact on the services or products that the Company provides its
customers or the timely and accurate processing of transactions.

STATE OF READINESS. The Company has tested and validated that its cardiac output
monitoring system is Y2K compliant. In addition, as part of the Company's Y2K
Plan, management is in the process of evaluating of its information technology
("IT") and non-information technology ("non-IT") systems, including
manufacturing equipment, telephone and mechanical systems and other equipment
and systems having embedded, date sensitive technology for Year 2000 compliance.
The Company's Y2K Plan is focused on assessing and assuring compliance in the
following areas: IT and non-IT hardware, operating systems, and software.
Additionally, the Company is in the process of reviewing the Year 2000
compliance status of its customers, vendors and other service providers.

HARDWARE. The Company is in the process of completing its assessment of its IT
and non-IT hardware for Y2K compliance. The Company estimates that most of its
IT hardware has either been upgraded for Y2K compliance or has been certified
internally or through the appropriate vendor to be compliant. The Company
expects that all IT and non-IT hardware systems will be upgraded or certified as
Y2K compliant by October 31, 1999.

OPERATING SYSTEMS. The Company's operating systems are Microsoft NT, Novell
Netware, Microsoft Windows 95 and Microsoft Windows NT. Novell has certified
Netware to be Y2K compliant. Microsoft has certified Windows 95 and Windows NT
to be Y2K compliant. Microsoft has also certified its NT 4.x network operating
system is Y2K compliant upon installation of service release four. The Company
has completed all such operating system upgrades.

SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS. The Company's software systems consist of "off-the-shelf"
software. The Company is in the process of obtaining from its vendors
certification that each software package is compliant. None of these software
programs are critical to the Company's ability to accurately and timely process
transactions. The Company expects that all software applications will either be
assessed to be not dependent on date/time accuracy, certified by the vendor to
be Y2K compliant or replaced by October 31, 1999.

THIRD PARTY RELATIONSHIPS. Because Y2K issues may also impact the Company by
affecting the business and operations of the Company's vendors, customers and
other business partners, the Company is in the process of communicating with
these parties in order to determine their Y2K compliant status. The Company is
in the process of communicating with these parties in order to determine their
compliance status. This communication is in the early stage and accordingly, the
Company has not been able to determine if the failure of a third-party to be Y2K


                                       10
<PAGE>


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

compliant will have a material adverse affect on the Company. The Company
anticipates that this part of its Y2K plan will be substantially complete by
October 31, 1999.

COSTS TO ADDRESS YEAR 2000 ISSUES. Although the ultimate cost of attaining Year
2000 compliance is not fully known at this time, management anticipates that
external costs will not be material. These costs will be funded from operations.
The Company does not track internal personnel time spent on IT projects,
including the Y2K project. To date, no IT projects have been delayed as a result
of the Company's Y2K project. In the event the Company's Y2K Plan is not
successful or timely implemented, the Company may need to devote more resources
to the process and additional costs may be incurred. Such a situation could have
a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of
operations.

The costs of Year 2000 compliance and the expected completion dates are the best
estimates of Company management. Estimated costs of the Company's Y2K project
and projected completion dates are forward-looking statements that may be
affected by the Company's current belief as to the extent of its internal
exposure to the Y2K problem, the timeliness and accuracy of information provided
by the Company's vendors, customers and other business partners in response to
Y2K compliance inquiries by the Company, the cost and availability of upgrades,
corrections or replacements for IT and non-IT systems identified as
non-compliant, and the cost of and the Company's ability to procure the services
of consultants or qualified personnel to assist with its Y2K Plan.

WORST CASE SCENARIO. The Company believes that its most reasonably likely, worst
case scenario as a result of the Year 2000 problem will be the failure of one or
more significant vendors, customers or business partners to become Year 2000
complaint and the inability of the Company to determine or react on a timely
basis in order to mitigate the effects on the Company. If the operations of any
significant vendor, customer or other business partner are disrupted due to the
Year 2000 problem and the Company is unable to develop and implement an
effective contingency plan, the Company's ability to carry on essential
activities could be materially affected. Even though the Company is undertaking
its Y2K Plan in an effort to mitigate its risks, there can be no assurance that
this scenario or any other impact of the Y2K problem will not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

CONTINGENCY PLANS. To date, the Company has not yet developed any detailed
contingency plans to address Year 2000 compliance deficiencies, as it is still
in the process of gathering data from its customers, vendors and other business
partners regarding their Year 2000 compliance and otherwise implementing its Y2K
Plan. To the extent that the Company identifies Year 2000 compliance issues that
cannot be addressed on a timely basis, it will seek to develop appropriate
contingency plans in order to mitigate its risks.
