                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               March 31, 1997

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Medical
Discoveries, Inc. and include all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 1997 and the results of operations and changes in financial
position for the three-month period ended March 31, 1997.  The results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
year.


ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTOR CHANGES.  MDI announced the appointment of Lee F.
Kulas as President, Chief Executive Officer and Director.  Mr. Kulas has
over 20 years' of broad-based experience in management, marketing, sales
and international business development, and has served as chief executive
of two medical device start-up companies.  He was most recently associated
with K. K. Adachi (Osaka, Japan) as president and chief executive officer
of Adachi's U.S. operations.  Founder and former CEO of Applied Vascular
Engineering, Inc. (Nasdaq: AVEI), Kulas has also held marketing and sales
positions with the Cordis Corporation (now a division of Johnson &
Johnson), Mallinckrodt Interventional Cardiology, the Puritan Bennett Corp.
and C.R. Bard.

As an international business development consultant with special emphasis
on Europe and Japan, Kulas spearheaded the establishment of United States
operations for two foreign medical products companies.  The driving force
behind 23 major product introductions, Kulas piloted the "user design team"
concept and has supervised clinical research, regulatory submissions and
product development activities domestically and in Canada, Europe and
Japan.  He is named on one patent and two patents pending.

Concurrent with the appointment of Mr. Kulas as Presdient and CEO, Mr.
Alvin Zidell, who had been serving as Interim President during the
company's search for a President and CEO, resigned his position as Interim
President.  Mr. Zidell remains as a member of the Board of Directors.

MDI also announced the appointment of David Walker, also a director, to the
position of Chairman of the board.

Dr. William J. Novick, Ph.D. has accepted the appointment of the company as
Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Board.  Dr. Novick brings over 30 years
experience in technology and product development in  the pharmaceutical
industry, most recently as Senior Director of International Product
Development for Hoechst-Roussel Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  In this latter
position, Dr. Novick has been responsible for the development and FDA
approval of over 20 chemotherapeutic agents including antibiotics and anti-
HIV drugs.  Dr. Novick is currently a member of several national and
federal committees which determine guidelines for use and testing (clinical
and in-vitro) of anti-microbial agents.

The Board of Directors announced the resignation of William Welch, Ph.D.
Now that the MDI technology (MDI-P) has progressed from basic research and
development into the pre-clinical and commercialization phase, Dr. Welch
has decided to pursue other interests more closely aligned with his
expertise.

Mr. Paul Griesgraber has been appointed Director of Licensing and
Development, and as a member of the Board.  Mr. Griesgraber brings to the
company experience in development and negotiating sponsorship agreements in
Japan, Europe and the United States.

JAPANESE CHAPTER OF THE SCIENTIFIC ADVISORY BOARD.  MDI announced the
establishment of a Japanese Chapter on the Scientific Advisory Board.  The
following internationally renowned physicians and scientists have accepted
appointments:  Dr. Akito Ohmura, M.D., Professor of Anesthesiology, Teikyo
University of Medicine, Tokyo, Japan, and Professor Kitamoto, Ph.D.,
Chairman, Tokyo Industrial University, Tokyo, Japan.  The Japanese Chapter
of MDI'S Scientific Advisory Board will assist the company in an advisory
capacity as the company prepares necessary regulatory and scientific
applications in preparation for entering Japanese markets.

PATENTS AND PATENT APPLICATIONS.  MDI announced the issuance of a receipt
of a Notice of Allowance, ("NOA"), from the U.S. Patent and Trademark
Office regarding the patent titled "Electrically Hydrolyzed Salines as
Microbicides."  This patent is a follow-on to previously issued patents
covering the instrument that manufactures the company's proprietary
antimicrobial agent called MDI-P.  The aforementioned NOA refers to patent
protection for the solution itself.  As provided by the patent, not only
must all future producers of MDI-P utilize the MDI electyrolyzer machine,
but the solution produced from that machine and any application for that
solution is also protected by this latest patent.

CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS RELOCATION.  MDI announced the relocation of its
corporate headquarters to larger, more cost efficient space, wherein a
research laboratory can be fully equipped.  The move is part of a necessary
plan as the company prepares for pre-clinical and pre-commercialization
phases of its technologies.

ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS REQUIRED.  Management intends to raise substantial
additional funds in private stock offerings in the near future in order to
meet its near-term funding requirements with a special emphasis in Japan.
In the future, management anticipates the need to raise substantial
additional funds in publicstock offerings as well. As additional funds are
raised, the Company intends to commence paying salaries to its officers.
The Company also intends at that time to hire additional technical and
administrative personnel.  The bulk of any additional funding will likely
be spent on continued research, testing, and patent protection with respect
to MDI-P.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS, ADDITIONAL FUNDING.  In May 1997, The Company raised
$100,000 in exchange for 200,000 shares of common stock at $0.50 per share
and warrants to purchase 200,000 shares of stock at $1.00 per share.
