NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) COMPUMED, INC. NOTE A-BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying interim unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending September 30, 2004. For further information, refer to the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2003 and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The balance sheet at September 30, 2003 has been derived from the Company's year-end audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. The Company has historically used existing cash and readily available marketable securities balances to fund operating losses and capital expenditures. The Company raised these funds in 1997 through 2000 through the placement of Preferred Stock issuances and proceeds from the exercise of certain stock options and warrants. The Company has incurred recurring losses and had net losses aggregating $347,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The Company's business strategy includes an increase in OsteoGram (R) revenue through OEM sales to the manufactures of digital x-ray equipment and through direct sales through domestic and international distributors. The Company intends to finance this business strategy by using its current working capital resources and cash flows from existing operations. There can be no assurance that the sales will be sufficient to offset related expenses. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION ------------------------- The Company accounts for employee stock option grants in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and related interpretations (APB 25), and has adopted the "disclosure only" alternative described in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, amended by SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure. SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, requires pro forma information regarding net income (loss) using compensation that would have been incurred if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that statement. Options to purchase 0 and 1,744,907 shares of Common Stock of CompuMed, Inc. were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. The fair value of these options was estimated at $0 and $66,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Options to purchase 261,087 and 0 shares of Common Stock of CompuMed, Inc. were granted during the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value of these options was estimated at $65,000 and $0 for the three months ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The fair value were estimated using Black-Scholes Option pricing method with the following assumptions: For The Six Months Ended March 31, 2004 March 31, 2003 -------------- -------------- Risk free interest rate . . . . . . . . . . 4.28% 3.33% Stock volatility factor . . . . . . . . . . 54% 18% Weighted average expected option life . . . 10 years 10 years Expected dividend yield . . . . . . . . . .

Basic loss per share is calculated using the net loss divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding. Shares from the assumed conversion of outstanding warrants, options and the effect of the conversion of the Class A Preferred Stock and Class B Preferred Stock are omitted from the computations of diluted loss per share because the effect would be antidilutive. NOTE B-OTHER AGREEMENTS On December 23, 2003, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, also referred to as an Equity Line of Credit. That agreement provides that, following notice to Dutchess, we may Put to Dutchess up to $5 million in shares of our Common Stock for a purchase price equal to 95% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of our Common Stock during the five day period following that notice. The number of shares that we will be permitted to put pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be either: (A) two hundred percent of the average daily volume of our Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the day we issue the put, or (B) $25,000; provided that in no event will the put amount be more than $1,000,000 with respect to any single Put. Dutchess' obligation to purchase our Common Stock is contingent upon certain closing conditions. Such conditions relate to the Investment Agreement and include: (i) that our representations and warranties are true and correct as of the funding date, (ii) that we have performed all of our covenants, agreements and conditions required to be performed us, (iii) that trading of our Common Stock has not been suspended, (iv) that no statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction is in force against the transactions contemplated in the Investment Agreement, (v) that no pending or threatened litigation exists, and (vi) that the SEC has declared effective a registration statement covering the shares to be purchased by Dutchess. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS ---------------------------------------------- We are including the following cautionary statement in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 with respect to forward-looking statements made by us, or on our behalf. Forward-looking statements include statements concerning plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements that are other than statements of historical facts. From time to time, we may make written or oral statements that are forward-looking including statements contained in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements are principally contained in the section captioned "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Operations". In that and other portions of this Form 10-QSB, the words "anticipates", "believes," "estimates," "seeks," "expects," "plans," "intends" and similar expressions as they relate to us or our management are intended to identify forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are expressly qualified by these cautionary statements. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained herein are based on various assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith on the basis of management's views and assumptions as of the time the statements are made, but there can be no assurance that management's expectations, beliefs or projections will result or be achieved or accomplished. In addition to other factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein, the following are important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements: technological advances by our competitors, the impact of competition, dependence on key employees and the need to attract new management, effectiveness and costs of sales and marketing efforts, acceptance of product offerings, ability to expand into new markets, the risks of patent claims or other third party liability, and the risks of launching a new product or service, such as our OsteoGram(R) test, changes in health care regulation, including reimbursement programs, capital needs to fund any delays or extensions of research programs and the availability of capital on terms satisfactory us. We do not intend to update any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof. OVERVIEW -------- Our core business is providing remote electrocardiogram (ECG) interpretation services to medical facilities that may not have access either to trained physicians that can interpret ECG results or to self-interpreting ECG equipment. Our customers are typically correctional facilities, ambulatory surgery centers, occupational health clinics and physician offices. Although self-interpreting ECG equipment is widely available, many of our customers like the optional feature of automatically sending their ECG results to one of our cardiologists for an overread when the results are abnormal. This overread feature is a key advantage that enables us to market our services in segments of the market where physicians may not be available on a routine basis. We are evaluating new opportunities for our ECG business, however, we could lose customers who choose to receive services from a competitor or who purchase a self-interpretive machine and no longer need our ECG interpretations. If we were to lose existing customers, they may be difficult to replace, and that could have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial condition. Our second business is the development and marketing of medical imaging software tools that automatically make accurate and precise measurements to diagnose bone disease. Our target markets for these growth products are radiologists and orthopedic surgeons, although our underlying technology can be applied to a number of other situations, including specific cancers and dental disease. Our initial product, the OsteoGram(R), is an automated system for the rapid screening, diagnosis and monitoring of osteoporosis, a disease that effects more than 200 million people worldwide. Osteoporosis is a "silent disease" that costs the U.S. healthcare system over $16 billion annually. Medicare is currently scrutinizing methods to lower the costs of fighting this largely preventable disease through early intervention, and health plans will soon be required to test "at risk" patients at a point-of-care. We believe that convenient, low-cost methods of screening and diagnosing will become increasingly desirable as hospitals comply with recent initiatives directling them to test and treat this insidious disease. The OsteoGram(R) is marketed in both film-based and DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) formats. The film-based version utilizes a standard hand x-ray film that is digitized on a desktop scanner. The digital image is then analyzed on a personal computer by means of the patented OsteoGram(R) software. This system is marketed to small hospitals, clinics and physician's offices. The DICOM OsteoGram(R) was developed to take advantage of the growing market for digital x-ray equipment. DICOM is the information standard that allows digital imaging equipment to interconnect, enabling clinicians to readily move, archive and retrieve images over networks. By residing on the workstations of these advanced digital systems, the OsteoGram(R) software can automatically capture and analyze images directly from either the x-ray equipment or the network. The goal is to enable clinicians to utilize software applications integrated into digital imaging platforms. This helps reduce the need for additional dedicated equipment, redundant computer workstations and specially trained staff. CompuMed plans to develop a series of laborsaving applications that will be directed towards the needs of radiologists and orthopedic surgeons. For the quarter ended March 31, 2004 we continued to focus on the implementation of our DICOM OsteoGram(R) strategy. Our development team is completing the integration of the OsteoGram(R) software into the computed radiography (CR) platform of Orex Computed Radiography Inc., and we expect to release the fully automated application by the end of May. Located in Yokneam, Israel and Auburndale, MA, Orex is a developer of digital (i.e., filmless) x-ray systems. We also added eTrauma Corporation as a strategic partner in the orthopedic office market. We intend to integrate our OsteoGram(R) into the eTrauma PACS (Picture Archiving and Communications System) network, enabling us to enter the growing market for digital systems in the orthopedic office environment. We were pleased with eTrauma's performance at the March annual meeting of the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons, and the company placed their initial order prior to the exhibition. We expect to deliver an integrated software solution to eTrauma before June 30, 2004. March marked the first shipment of the DICOM OsteoGram(R), which will be installed in China through our Shanghai-based distributor. This dealer is working closely with a major provider of digital imaging systems, and we expect his efforts to gain momentum later this year. We view the Chinese market for digital imaging products to be a high growth area, and a successful placement will be key to future revenue streams in China where osteoporosis is so prevalent. Orex is also targeting China, and they recently signed a distribution agreement with the Medical Solutions Group of Siemens, LTD., China. We expect to work closely with these two partners in attaining our goals in the Chinese market. Siemens Medical Solutions, a division German electronics giant Siemens AG, is one of the largest suppliers to the healthcare industry in the world. In addition, we continue to work with a number of manufacturers of digital radiography platforms to structure domestic and global agreements to integrate our software into their workstations and network servers. Integrating our software is a complex task, and full automation requires intimate knowledge of each manufacturer's proprietary software package. Our plans in this segment are aggressive, and we expect that select partnerships will ultimately yield the results we seek. Our ECG business remains stable, and March was the best revenue month since October 2002. This was mainly due to new correctional accounts coming on line. We recently were awarded a 5-year renewal with one of our largest existing customers, and we expect to ship nearly 100 new ECG terminals in the coming months. One of our goals for the quarter was to identify a new partner for ECG equipment, and we will announce our selection early in the next quarter. Our criteria included a new server system for ECG interpretation and billing that will allow us to accept transmission over the Internet. This will enable us to enter the international markets, where the cost of a telephone transmission was previously prohibitive. Our effort to bolster worldwide OsteoGram(R) distribution has resulted in a number of inquires about our CardioGram from countries where American medical services are attractive. We are exploring means to launch our CardioGram service overseas, since heart disease remains the number one killer worldwide. We believe that an overread by an American cardiologist could be a value-added service for those countries where cardiologists are not readily available. RECENT EVENTS -------------- On December 23, 2003, we entered into an Investment Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, also referred to as an Equity Line of Credit. That agreement provides that, following notice to Dutchess, we may Put to Dutchess up to $5 million in shares of our Common Stock for a purchase price equal to 95% of the average of the three lowest closing bid prices on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board of our Common Stock during the five day period following that notice. The number of shares that we will be permitted to put pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be either: (A) two hundred percent of the average daily volume of our Common Stock for the ten trading days prior to the applicable put notice, multiplied by the average of the three daily closing best bid prices immediately preceding the day we issue the put, or (B) $25,000; provided that in no event will the put amount be more than $1,000,000 with respect to any single Put. Dutchess' obligation to purchase our Common Stock is contingent upon certain closing conditions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ----------------------- Revenues from ECG operations increased slightly for the Second Quarter 2004 to $432,000 from $430,000 for the same period fiscal 2003, due to the acquisition of new correctional facility accounts, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 4% to $834,000 from $868,000 for the same period in fiscal year 2003 mostly due to lower sales of ECG supplies. Revenues from the OsteoGram(R) sales and services for the Second Quarter 2004 decreased by 44% to $29,000 from $52,000 due to the strategic shift towards selling software without associated computer hardware, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 increased by 32% to $87,000 from $66,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003 due to initial orders from international distributors, repeat orders from Asian customers and first DICOM shipments to the Czech Republic and China. Cost of services and goods sold consists of the costs of ECG services provided, supplies, electrocardiograph equipment sold and OsteoGram(R) systems sold. Costs of services of ECG for the Second Quarter 2004 increased by 4% to $124,000 from $119,000 mostly due to increased demand for overread services, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004, the costs of services of ECG remained the same as $243,000 for the quarters ended March 2004 and 2003. Cost of goods sold of ECG for the Second Quarter 2004 decreased by 10% to $18,000 from $20,000, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 20% to $33,000 from $41,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003, mainly due to lower sales in ECG supplies. During the Second Quarter 2004, the Company's had no cost of goods sold for OsteoGram(R) and $5,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003, a decrease of 100%, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 43% to $4,000 from $7,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003, mostly due to recent sales that do not include computer hardware. Selling expenses for the Second Quarter 2004 decreased by 8% to $57,000 from $62,000, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 29% to $102,000 from $144,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003, primarily due to decreased marketing communication and trade show related expenses. General and administrative expenses for the Second Quarter 2004 increased by 15% to $275,000 from $240,000, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 increased slightly to $516,000 from $514,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003, due to legal fees and expenses related to compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and the SB-2 registration for the Dutchess Equity Line. Research and development costs for the Second Quarter 2004 decreased by 2% to $55,000 from $56,000, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 increased slightly by 1% to $108,000 from $107,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003 due to salary adjustments. Interest income for the Second Quarter 2004 decreased by 33% to $4,000 from $6,000, and during the six months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 36% to $9,000 from $14,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003, primarily due to decreased investments in marketable securities and reduced interest income in such investments. Other miscellaneous income for the Second Quarter 2004 was $28,000 and none for the same period in fiscal 2003 due to the reversal of a reserve related to a property tax assessment dispute that was settled in our favor. Net loss for the Second Quarter 2004 increased by 34% to $79,000 from $59,000 due to increases in legal fees and expenses related to compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley and the SB-2 registration. Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2004 decreased by 32% to $140,000 from $207,000 for the same period in fiscal 2003 mostly due to increased OsteoGram (R) sales and decreased marketing expenses in ECG and OsteoGram(R). FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES --------------------------------------------------------- At March 31, 2004, we had approximately $256,000 in cash and marketable securities, as compared to a balance of $247,000 at September 30, 2003. The net increase of $9,000 in cash and marketable securities is primarily due to increase of unrealized gain of the Company's marketable securities. Purchases of property, plant and equipment were $11,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. We have historically used existing cash and readily available marketable securities balances to fund operating losses and capital expenditures. We raised these funds in 1997 through 2000 through the placement of preferred stock issuances and proceeds from the exercise of certain stock options and warrants. Our business strategy includes an increase in OsteoGram(R) revenue through OEM sales to manufactures of medical digital x-ray equipment and through direct sales through domestic and international distributors. We intend to finance this business strategy by using our current working capital resources and cash flows from existing operations, including the ECG and OsteoGram(R) businesses. There can be no assurance that the ECG and OsteoGram(R) sales will be sufficient to offset related expenses. We anticipate that our cash flow from operations, available cash and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next 12 months. However, in certain circumstances we may need to raise additional capital in the future, which might not be available on reasonable terms or at all. If we raise additional capital we will probably do it through the $5,000,000 equity line recently established with Dutchess Private Equities Fund (see "Recent Events"). Failure to raise capital when needed could adversely impact our business, operating results and liquidity. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of equity or convertible securities, the percentage of ownership of existing stockholders will be reduced. Furthermore, some equity and convertible securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to our Common Stock. Our Common Stock is currently traded on the over-the-counter (OTC) bulletin board, which makes it more difficult to raise funds through the issuance of equity or convertible securities. We cannot assure you that such additional sources of financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. Our primary capital resource commitments at March 31, 2004 consist of capital and operating lease commitments, primarily for office equipment and for our corporate office facility. We intend to pursue additional research and/or sub-contractor agreements relating to our development projects. Additionally, we may seek partners and acquisition candidates of businesses that are complementary to our own. Such investments would be subject to our obtaining financing through issuance of debt or other securities. No assurance can be given that any acquisition would not be dilutive to stockholders. ITEM 3. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES. Based on management's evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange Act")) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and regulations. CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our second fiscal quarter of 2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. LIMITATION ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CONTROLS Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
