                 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The information presented for March 31, 2002 and 2001, and for the periods
      then ended is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (which consist only
      of normal recurring adjustments) that the management of Neoprobe
      Corporation (Neoprobe, we or the Company) believes to be necessary for the
      fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Certain
      information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
      statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and
      regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The results
      for the interim period are not necessarily indicative of results to be
      expected for the year. The financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for the year
      ended December 31, 2001, which were included as part of the Company's
      Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Certain 2001 amounts have been reclassified
      to conform with the 2002 presentation (see Note 10).

      The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts
      of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardiosonix Ltd.
      (Cardiosonix) beginning December 31, 2001 (see Note 10). All significant
      inter-company accounts were eliminated in consolidation.

2.    COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

      Due to the Company's net operating loss position, there are no income tax
      effects on comprehensive income (loss) components for the three months
      ended March 31, 2002.

      The Company had no accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) activity
      during the three-month period ended March 31, 2001.

3.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      Basic earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number
      of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per
      share is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares
      outstanding during the periods, adjusted for the effects of convertible
      securities, options and warrants, if dilutive.

      The following table summarizes options to purchase common stock of the
      Company which were outstanding during the three-month period ended March
      31, 2001, but which were not included in the computation of diluted income
      per share because their effect was anti-dilutive.

      There is no difference in basic and diluted earnings per share for the
      Company related to the three months ended March 31, 2002. The net loss per
      common share for this period excludes the number of common shares issuable
      upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants into the Company's
      common stock since such inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

4.    INVENTORY

      The components of inventory are as follows:

5.    LINE OF CREDIT

      During February 2002, the Company entered into a line of credit facility
      with an investment management company. The facility provides for a maximum
      line of credit of $2.0 million and is fully collateralized by pledged cash
      and investments on deposit with the investment management company.
      Availability under the facility is based on advance rates varying from 80%
      to 92% of the underlying available collateral. Outstanding amounts under
      the facility bear interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The facility
      expires in February 2007. There was no outstanding balance under the line
      of credit as of March 31, 2002.

6.    INCOME TAXES

      For the quarter ended March 31, 2001, the reversal of certain temporary
      differences related to accrued expenses and deferred revenue resulted in
      the generation of a loss for income tax purposes. As a result, no income
      tax expense is reflected in the statement of operations for the quarter
      ended March 31, 2001. All of the Company's net deferred tax assets have
      been fully offset by a valuation allowance.


                                       7

7.    STOCK OPTIONS

      During the first quarter of 2002, the Board of Directors granted options
      to employees and certain directors of the Company to purchase 890,000
      shares of common stock, exercisable at an average price of $0.42 per
      share, vesting over three years. As of March 31, 2002, the Company has 2.8
      million options outstanding under two stock option plans. Of the
      outstanding options, 1.0 million options have vested as of March 31, 2002,
      at an average exercise price of $0.88 per share.

8.    AGREEMENTS

      During January 2002, the Company completed a license agreement with the
      University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for a proprietary compound that
      the Company believes could be used as a lymph node locating agent in
      intraoperative lymphatic mapping (ILM) procedures. The license agreement
      is effective until the later of the expiration date of the longest-lived
      underlying patent or January 30, 2023. Under the terms of the license
      agreement, UCSD has granted the Company the exclusive rights to make, use,
      sell, offer for sale and import Licensed Products as defined in the
      agreement and to practice the defined Licensed Methods during the term of
      the agreement. The Company may also sublicense the Patent Rights, subject
      to the approval of certain sublicense terms by UCSD. In consideration for
      the license rights, the Company agreed to pay UCSD a license issue fee of
      $25,000 and license maintenance fees of $25,000 per year. The Company also
      agreed to pay UCSD milestone payments related to successful regulatory
      clearance for marketing of the Licensed Products, a royalty on Net Sales
      of Licensed Products subject to a $25,000 minimum annual royalty, fifty
      percent of all sublicense fees and fifty percent of sublicense royalties.
      The Company also agreed to reimburse UCSD for all patent-related costs.

      UCSD also has the right to terminate the agreement or change the nature of
      the agreement to a non-exclusive agreement if the Company is determined
      not to have been diligent in developing and commercializing the covered
      products, not marketing the products within six months of receiving
      regulatory approval, reasonably filling market demand or obtaining all the
      necessary government approvals.

9.    SEGMENT AND SUBSIDIARY INFORMATION

      The Company owns or has rights to intellectual property involving two
      primary types of medical diagnostic products, including gamma detection
      instruments currently used primarily in the application of ILM, and blood
      flow measurement devices.


                                       8

      The information in the following table is derived directly from the
      segment's internal financial reporting used for corporate management
      purposes. Selling, general and administrative costs, including

10.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

      In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, Business
      Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
      Under SFAS 141, any business combination initiated after June 30, 2001
      must be accounted for as a purchase. For purchase business combinations
      that are consummated after June 30, 2001, goodwill and identifiable
      intangibles should be recorded and amortized in accordance with SFAS 142,
      i.e., goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not
      amortized and other identified intangibles are amortized. For any purchase
      business combination consummated on or before June 30, 2001, the
      accounting under APB 16 and APB 17 still applies. Goodwill and separately
      identifiable intangibles should be recorded and amortized until adopting
      SFAS 142, which is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
      2001. A calendar year-end company would continue to amortize goodwill and
      all separately identifiable intangibles through December 31, 2001. Upon
      adoption of SFAS 142, a company would cease amortizing goodwill and
      separately identifiable intangibles with indefinite lives and amortize
      other identifiable intangibles in accordance with the guidelines set forth
      in the standard. The Company adopted SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 as of December
      31, 2001 related to its acquisition of Cardiosonix. The adoption of these
      pronouncements resulted in recording $3.5 million of acquired intangible
      assets with a weighted average useful life of approximately 13 years.
      During the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded $90,000 in
      amortization expense that is included in selling, general and
      administrative expenses, and recorded a purchase price adjustment of
      $24,000 to the contingent consideration liability related to net
      acquisition costs in excess of initial estimates.

      In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the
      Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes both SFAS
      121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
      Assets to Be Disposed Of and the accounting and reporting provisions of
      APB Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations--Reporting the
      Effects


                                       9

      of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and
      Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions, for the disposal of a
      segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS 144
      retains the fundamental provisions in SFAS 121 for recognizing and
      measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use and
      long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also resolving
      significant implementation issues associated with SFAS 121. For example,
      SFAS 144 provides guidance on how a long-lived asset that is used as part
      of a group should be evaluated for impairment, establishes criteria for
      when a long-lived asset is held for sale, and prescribes the accounting
      for a long-lived asset that will be disposed of other than by sale. SFAS
      144 retains the basic provisions of APB 30 on how to present discontinued
      operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to
      include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business).
      Unlike SFAS 121, an impairment assessment under SFAS 144 will never result
      in a write-down of goodwill. Rather, goodwill is evaluated for impairment
      under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

      The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 144 for the quarter ended March
      31, 2002. Management does not expect the adoption of SFAS 144 for
      long-lived assets held for use to have a material impact on the Company's
      financial statements because the impairment assessment under SFAS 144 is
      largely unchanged from SFAS 121. The provisions of the Statement for
      assets held for sale or other disposal generally are required to be
      applied prospectively after the adoption date to newly initiated disposal
      activities. The adoption of SFAS 144 did not have a material effect on the
      Company's financial statements for the first quarter of 2002.

      In November 2001, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued Topic
      D-103, Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for
      Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred. The FASB is requiring Topic D-103 be
      applied in financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2001.
      Topic D-103 requires companies to characterize reimbursements received for
      out-of-pocket expenses as revenue. The adoption of Topic D-103
      requirements resulted in the reclassification of the $125,000
      reimbursement by Ethicon of certain research and development charges from
      research and development expenses to license revenue and other for all
      periods presented.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue for the first quarter of 2002 decreased $685,000 to $1.1 million from
$1.7 million for the same period in 2001. Research and development expenses
during the first quarter of 2002 were $540,000 or 38% of operating expenses for
the quarter. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $875,000 or 62%
of operating expenses for the quarter. Overall, operating expenses for the first
quarter of 2002 increased $645,000 or 84% over the same quarter in 2001. The
Company anticipates that total operating expenses for the remaining quarters of
2002 will be consistent with first quarter 2002 levels, except for research and
development expenses that are expected to increase as a result of efforts to
bring the first of the blood flow measurement devices to market.

Three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001

Net Sales and Margins. Net product sales decreased $660,000 or 47% to $735,000
during the first quarter of 2002 from $1.4 million during the same period in
2001. Gross margins on product sales remained constant at 33% of net sales for
the first quarter of 2002 compared to 32% of net sales for the same period in
2001. The decline in net product sales was the result of lower unit sales in
the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the first quarter of 2001. The Company
did not ship all of the units originally committed to be purchased by our
primary marketing partner, Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. (Ethicon) due to delays in
the transfer of manufacturing of the Company's neo2000(R) system to a new
contract manufacturer. The transfer delays, coupled with declines in demand
primarily associated with the Company's BlueTip(TM) probes from Ethicon and
Ethicon's overstock position, decreased revenue for the quarter below prior
years and current year expectations. Neoprobe initiated the manufacturing
transfer in the fourth quarter of 2001 in order to achieve cost reduction and
quality improvements. As a result of the technical delays in the transfer
process, Neoprobe agreed with Ethicon to spread the delivery of committed units
not shipped during the first quarter over the rest of the year.


                                       10

License Revenue and Other. License revenue and other in the first quarters of
2002 and 2001 included $200,000 from the pro-rata recognition of license fees
related to the distribution agreement with Ethicon and $125,000 from the
reimbursement by Ethicon of certain product development costs.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased
$340,000 or 170% to $540,000 during the first quarter of 2002 from $200,000
during the same period in 2001. The increase is primarily due to the product
development efforts of Cardiosonix, additional Neoprobe headcount to support
Cardiosonix activities, and $55,000 in gamma detection drug development costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased $305,000 or 53% to $875,000 during the first
quarter of 2002 from $570,000 during the same period in 2001. The increase was
primarily a result of the general and administrative costs incurred in the
operation of Cardiosonix, increased professional services incurred by the
Company related to Cardiosonix, the transfer of manufacturing of certain
components of the neo2000 gamma detection system to a new contract manufacturer,
and $45,000 in impairment of intellectual property that the Company did not
believe had ongoing value to the business.

Other Income. Other income decreased $52,000 or 95% to $3,000 during the first
quarter of 2002 from $54,000 during the same period in 2001. Other income during
the first quarters of 2002 and 2001 consisted primarily of interest income. The
Company's interest income decreased because the Company received a lower
interest rate on its cash and investments during the first quarter of 2002 as
compared to the same period in 2001, consistent with marketplace activity over
the two periods.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Operating Activities. Cash used in operations decreased $357,000 to $460,000
during the first quarter of 2002 from $816,000 during the same period in 2001.
Working capital decreased $817,000 to $3.3 million at March 31, 2002 as compared
to $4.1 million at December 31, 2001. The current ratio decreased slightly to
2.5 at March 31, 2002 from 2.6 at December 31, 2001. The decrease in working
capital was primarily related to cash used to fund development activities,
coupled with lower levels of accounts receivable and other working capital
components at March 31, 2002 as compared to December 2001.

Cash and investment balances decreased to $3.7 million at March 31, 2002 from
$4.3 million at December 31, 2001, primarily due to the requirements of
supporting the operations of Cardiosonix and the decrease in net sales during
the first quarter of 2002.

Accounts receivable decreased to $186,000 at March 31, 2002 from $561,000 at
December 31, 2001. The Company expects receivable levels to fluctuate in 2002
depending on the timing of purchases and payments by Ethicon.

Inventory levels decreased to $1.3 million at March 31, 2002 as compared to $1.4
million at December 31, 2001 as control unit safety stock was used up due to the
manufacturing transfer. During 2002, we will continue to work through our
carryover stock of certain long-lead gamma device components that were built up
during 2001 in order to take advantage of significant quantity price breaks. We
expect inventory levels to remain relatively steady in the second and third
quarters as the use of these long-lead components is offset by the
re-establishment of our control unit safety stock. Later in 2002, we will also
start to build inventory of blood flow products in preparation for commercial
launch.

The Company continues to anticipate it will need to fund up to $3.5 million in
development and market support costs during 2002 related to preparing for the
commercial launch of its blood flow product line, while the gamma detection
product line is still expected to be break-even.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities increased to $2.5
million during the first quarter of 2002 from $20,000 during the same period in
2001. During February and March 2002, the Company invested in $2.5 million of
available for sale securities. Capital expenditures in the first quarters of
2002


                                       11

and 2001 were split between purchases of production tools and equipment and
technology infrastructure. Capital needs for 2002 are expected to increase over
2001 to support instrument development and manufacturing activities, although it
is our intent to initially outsource manufacturing of blood flow products as is
currently done for our gamma devices.

Financing Activities. Financing activities used $72,000 in cash in the first
quarter of 2002 versus $46,000 during the same period in 2001. Payments of notes
payable were 50% higher during the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the same
period in 2001, due to the increased cost of financed insurance.

On November 19, 2001, the Company entered into a common stock purchase agreement
with an investment fund, Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion) for the issuance
and purchase of Neoprobe common stock. Under the stock purchase agreement,
Fusion committed to purchase up to $10 million of Neoprobe common stock over a
forty-month period that commences in May 2002. A registration statement
registering for resale of up to 5 million shares of Neoprobe common stock was
declared effective on April 15, 2002. The Company will be able to request daily
draw downs, subject to a daily base amount, currently set at $12,500. The number
of shares the Company is to issue to Fusion in return for that money will be
based on the lower of (a) the closing sale price for Neoprobe common stock on
the day of the draw request or (b) the average of the three lowest closing sales
prices during a twelve day period prior to the draw request. No shares may be
sold to Fusion at lower than a floor price currently set at $0.30, but in no
case below $0.20 without Fusion's prior consent. Upon execution of the common
stock purchase agreement, the Company issued 449,438 shares of Neoprobe common
stock to Fusion as a commitment fee. The Company intends to draw on the equity
line to fund development and commercialization activities as market conditions
permit and as considered appropriate.

During February 2002, the Company entered into a line of credit facility with an
investment management company. The facility provides for a maximum line of
credit of $2.0 million and is fully collateralized by pledged cash and
investments on deposit with the investment management company. Availability
under the facility is based on advance rates varying from 80% to 92% of the
underlying available collateral. Outstanding amounts under the facility bear
interest at LIBOR plus 175 basis points. The facility expires in February 2007.
There was no outstanding balance under the line of credit as of March 31, 2002.

The Company believes its current cash position, cash expected to be provided
through sales of its gamma detection products, cash available from Fusion and
the line of credit are adequate to sustain the Company's planned blood flow and
gamma detection development and operations through the fourth quarter of 2002.
However, the Company's ability to execute its plans into 2003 significantly
depends on its ability to raise additional funds from sources other than
operations. The Company's future liquidity and capital requirements will depend
on a number of factors, including its ability to raise additional capital in a
timely manner through additional investment, expanded market acceptance of its
current products, its ability to commercialize new products such as its blood
flow product line, its ability to monetize its investment in non-core
technologies, its ability to obtain milestone or development funds from
potential development and distribution partners, regulatory actions by the FDA
and other international regulatory bodies, and intellectual property protection.

There can be no assurance that the additional capital the Company may require to
finance operations beyond 2002 will be available on acceptable terms, if at all.
Any failure to secure additional financing will force the Company to modify its
business plan. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve significant product revenues from its current or potential new products.
In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve
profitability again in the future.
