1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of V.I.
     Technologies, Inc. (the Company or VITEX) have been prepared in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
     information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
     Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
     principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management,
     all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
     necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results
     for the quarter ended April 3, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results that may be expected for the year ended January 1, 2000. For
     further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
     thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended January 2, 1999.
 
     Certain reclassifications were made to prior year amounts to conform to the
     1999 presentation.

     Stock Split

     In February 1998, the Board of Directors authorized and the stockholders
     approved a 1-for-2.795 reverse split of the Company's common stock, which
     became effective on February 23, 1998.  All share and per share amounts
     included in the accompanying condensed financial statements and footnotes
     have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

     Fiscal Year

     As reported in the Company's Form 8-K filed August 11, 1998, the Company
     changed from a calendar year to a 52-53 week fiscal year ending on the
     Saturday closest to December 31, beginning with the fiscal year ending
     January 2, 1999.  Such fiscal period corresponds with the Company's natural
     business year.

     Inventory

     Costs incurred in connection with plasma fractionation processing services
     and with the production of PLAS+SD are included in inventories and expensed
     upon recognition of related revenues.  Such costs include direct labor and
     processing overheads.  The processed plasma is supplied and owned by the
     Company's customers and is not included in inventory.  Inventory is stated
     at the lower of cost, as determined using the average cost method, or net
     realizable value.

     Revenue Recognition

     Revenue from plasma fractionation processing services and the production of
     PLAS+SD is recognized in the period in which the related services have been
     rendered and upon satisfaction of certain quality control requirements.
     Revenue in the accompanying statements of operations is not subject to
     repayment or future performance obligations.

     Research and Development

     All research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.
     Reimbursement for research and development costs incurred in accordance
     with collaborative agreements is recognized as an offset to research and
     development costs in the period in which the eligible costs are incurred by
     the Company.  Such reimbursement totaled $0.9 million and $0.4 million for
     the quarters ended April 3, 1999 and March 31, 1998, respectively.

2.   Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the weighted average
     number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is
     computed on the basis of the weighted average number of common shares
     outstanding plus the effect of outstanding stock options calculated using
     the "treasury stock" method.  The components of basic and diluted earnings
     per share were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

     Diluted earnings per share for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 does not
     include the effect of dilutive options because the inclusion of such
     securities would be antidilutive.

4.   Subsequent Event

     On April 16, 1999, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of seven lots
     (about one week's production) of PLAS+SD dating from June and July 1998,
     which were found to contain moderate to high levels of parvovirus B19 DNA.
     This recall was a precautionary measure.  Further, the Company has taken
     steps to incorporate into its product screening, experimental parvovirus
     B19 Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) testing in order to ensure that this
     virus is below specified laboratory levels.  These steps are consistent
     with the Company's goal and commitment to enhancing the safety of the blood
     supply.  In recent Phase IV safety studies, the Company observed several
     seroconversions to parvovirus B19 in healthy volunteers who received
     PLAS+SD from two lots containing high concentrations of the virus.  There
     was no evidence of clinical disease typical of parvovirus B19 associated
     with these seroconversions.  Only one of the two lots involved in the
     safety studies had been released to the market and it was included in the
     recall.  The recall of the additional six lots and adoption of new
     screening procedures are intended to further reduce the risks of parvovirus
     B19 infection.  As part of the Company's ongoing efforts to further insure
     the safety of PLAS+SD, over the period through mid-May 1999, testing of
     production to date will be conducted to assess the need, if any, for an
     additional recall.  At the present time, the Company cannot determine the
     impact, if any, that this matter may have on its business, results of

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

Overview

V.I. Technologies, Inc. is a leading developer of a broad portfolio of blood
products and systems using its proprietary viral inactivation technologies. The
Company's technologies are intended to address the risks of viral contamination
in blood products, including plasma, plasma derivatives, red blood cells and
platelets.  Viral inactivation processes have the potential to eliminate viruses
that are enveloped by lipid membranes such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis
C virus (HCV) and HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and non-enveloped viruses
such as hepatitis A virus (HAV) and parvovirus B19 and other known and unknown
pathogens.

The Company reported net income of $615,000 for the first quarter ended April 3,
1999 and its accumulated deficit to that date was $32.4 million.  Operating
results will vary from period to period and, accordingly, net income for the
quarter ended April 3, 1999 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be
expected in future periods. The significant risk factors that affect the Company
are described in its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,
1999.

The Company's revenues are derived from the manufacture and sale of plasma
fractions and transfusion plasma:

  . Plasma Fractions. VITEX produces plasma fractions principally for Bayer
    Corporation (Bayer) under terms of a processing agreement whose initial term
    extends through 2001.  Under this agreement, Bayer is obligated to provide
    the Company with a specified quantity of plasma annually and the Company is
    obligated to return plasma fractions to Bayer within certain specified
    periods. The agreement is structured as a take-or-pay arrangement under
    which Bayer is obligated to pay VITEX a fixed fee per liter of fractionated
    plasma whether or not Bayer fulfills its obligation to supply plasma to the
    Company. In the event that VITEX does not provide fractions as required
    under the agreement, or upon the occurrence of other events of default,
    Bayer has certain rights to take over and operate the fractionation portion
    of the Company's production facility.

    The Company is currently utilizing all of its existing fractionation plasma
    capacity.  Due to an industry-wide shortage of fractionation capacity, in
    conjunction with preliminary solicitations from Bayer and others, the
    Company is planning to expand its fractionation capacity by 15% in the third
    quarter of 1999 and is currently evaluating the cost/benefit of further
    expansion in subsequent years.  Although the Company believes that it can
    accomplish the 1999 expansion and achieve attractive margins on the
    increased volume, there can be no assurance as to the eventual commercial
    success of the project.

  . Transfusion Plasma. PLAS+SD, the first of the Company's virally inactivated
    products, received marketing clearance from the United States Food and Drug
    Administration (FDA) on May 6, 1998.  Commercial scale production of
    PLAS+SD, a pooled transfusion plasma which utilizes the Company's
    solvent/detergent (SD) viral inactivation technology to inactivate lipid-
    enveloped viruses, began in June 1998.  PLAS+SD was the first, and is the
    only FDA approved, virally inactivated blood component available for use in
    the United States. The product is sold under an exclusive Amended and
    Restated Supply, Manufacturing and Distribution Collaboration Agreement,
    dated October 1, 1998 (Distribution Agreement) with the American National
    Red Cross (Red Cross) which extends to 2002. Under the Distribution
    Agreement, the Red Cross, which is the largest supplier of transfusion
    plasma to hospitals in the United States, providing about 45% of the
    transfusion plasma used annually, is required to purchase minimum stated
    quantities of PLAS+SD to maintain its exclusive rights. Once the Red Cross
    places its annual purchase order with VITEX, it is obligated to supply VITEX
    with a sufficient quantity of plasma to enable VITEX to fulfill the order.
    The Red Cross must pay for the amount of PLAS+SD specified in the purchase
    order even if it is unable to supply sufficient quantities of plasma. In the
    past, there has been variability in the rate of plasma supply from the Red
    Cross.  This situation could recur in future periods, which could negatively
    impact the timing of revenue recognition, production scheduling and
    ultimately, production costs.  Under the Distribution Agreement, the Red
    Cross is required to pay to the Company a fixed price per unit of PLAS+SD,
    plus a royalty which is initially fixed.  Beyond a specified volume, the
    royalty becomes variable, based on equal sharing of the amount by which the
    average selling price by the Red Cross exceeds a stated amount.  The Company
    and the Red Cross have each committed to spend minimum amounts for marketing
    PLAS+SD during the two year period ending September 2000.  The Company's
    spending commitment is expected to be satisfied, to a large extent, by the
    cost of its sales force which was hired in December 1998.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
    The Company is delivering PLAS+SD under the second purchase order of the Red
    Cross Distribution Agreement. The Distribution Agreement requires the Red
    Cross to achieve certain end-user sales levels in order to maintain its
    exclusive distribution rights.  Failure to achieve these sales levels could
    result in termination of the Distribution Agreement by either the Red Cross
    or the Company.  Although end customer sales of PLAS+SD have risen since the
    product was introduced, end-user market penetration has increased at a
    slower rate than anticipated.  The Company recently established its own
    national sales force to support the efforts of the Red Cross by increasing
    product awareness among users, thereby accelerating market penetration.
    While measurement of the success of the sales force is premature since the
    sales force has been in the field only since late January, preliminary
    results have shown continuing month-over-month growth.  However, there can
    be no assurance that PLAS+SD will continue to increase or maintain its
    current level of market acceptance among blood centers, physicians, patients
    and health care payers.

    Subsequent to the end of the first quarter of 1999, in connection with
    PLAS+SD Phase IV safety studies, the Company observed several
    seroconversions to parvovirus B19 in healthy volunteers who received the
    product from two production lots which were found to contain high
    concentrations of the virus.  Although there was no evidence of clinical
    disease typical of parvovirus B19 associated with these seroconversions, on
    April 16, 1999, the Company initiated a voluntary recall of seven lots
    (about one week of production) of PLAS+SD dating from June and July 1998,
    which were found to contain moderate to high levels of parvovirus B19 DNA.
    Although alternative products, including fresh frozen plasma (FFP) and donor
    retested plasma (DR), are not routinely screened for parvovirus B19, in
    order to further enhance the safety of its products and to reduce the
    likelihood of transmission of the virus, the Company has subsequently
    incorporated experimental parvovirus B19 PCR testing into its product
    release process.

    The Company is working with the Red Cross to coordinate testing of PLAS+SD
    produced prior to the implementation of parvovirus B19 screening.  Such
    testing is expected to continue through mid-May 1999, at which time, the
    Company will assess the need, if any, for an additional recall.  At the
    present time, the Company cannot determine the impact, if any, that this
    matter may have on its Distribution Agreement with the Red Cross, results of
    operations, financial position or cash flows.

The Company's other virally inactivated blood products are all under development
and include:

  .  Universal PLAS+SD. Universal PLAS+SD is a product under development by the
     Company which is intended to improve upon PLAS+SD. In addition to having
     the same characteristics and benefits as PLAS+SD, Universal PLAS+SD would
     eliminate the need for matching donor and recipient blood types. Universal
     PLAS+SD is prepared using patented technology, exclusively licensed from
     the New York Blood Center (NYBC), which binds and removes specific
     antibodies present in donor plasma that would otherwise cause an immune
     response in the recipient.  The Company expects to file an amendment to its
     current Investigational New Drug (IND) application for Universal PLAS+SD
     during the second quarter of 1999.

  .  Universal PLAS+SD II. Universal PLAS+SD II adds a second method of viral
     inactivation to Universal PLAS+SD. In addition to inactivating enveloped
     viruses, the Company is evaluating alternative technologies, including
     ultra violet and chemical compounds, intended to inactivate known non-
     enveloped viruses, such as parvovirus B-19 and HAV, and may offer added
     protection against other non-enveloped viruses that might contaminate the
     blood supply in the future. Although the presence of antibodies normally
     found in pooled plasma may protect against known non-enveloped viruses, SD
     and these second generation technologies used in combination provide a
     higher margin of blood product safety than SD technology alone. Universal
     PLAS+SD II is at an early stage of development and, consequently, there can
     be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully develop,
     secure approval for or commercialize this product.

  .  VITEX Fibrin Sealant. The Company is developing its VITEX Fibrin Sealant
     for use during surgical procedures to augment or replace sutures or staples
     for wound closure. Fibrin sealants-also known as fibrin glues-are created
     by combining the two principal clotting factors found in blood, fibrinogen
     and thrombin, whose natural function is to halt bleeding and seal tissues.
     Fibrin sealants are biodegradable, and their use does not generally elicit
     an immune response frequently associated with non-biological glues. The
     Company expects that its fibrin sealant will be the first double virally
     inactivated fibrin sealant available in the United States.  This product
     has completed Phase II clinical trials for two indications (non-healing
     rectal fistula and modified radical mastectomy) and completed enrollment
     for one Phase III clinical trial (breast lumpectomy). Enrollment for an
     additional Phase III clinical trial (carotid endarterectomy) is expected to
     be completed during the second quarter of 1999 and the Company expects to
     submit a Product License Application (PLA) for VITEX Fibrin Sealant by the
     end of fiscal 1999.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
     The Company's fibrin sealant development is jointly funded by United States
     Surgical Corporation (U.S. Surgical) who has entered into an exclusive
     worldwide distribution agreement with VITEX.  Under terms of the agreement,
     U.S. Surgical must achieve certain minimum product sales to maintain its
     exclusive distribution rights. The Company has agreed to supply U.S.
     Surgical's forecasted demand for the product.  Either the Company or U.S.
     Surgical may terminate the agreement upon written notice in certain
     circumstances, including a breach of the agreement by the other party.
     U.S. Surgical may also terminate the agreement for any reason upon nine
     months notice to the Company. During 1998, the Company completed
     construction of a multi-use manufacturing suite, within its existing
     facility, to permit the production, subject to FDA approval, of commercial
     quantities of VITEX Fibrin Sealant.  Validation of the new manufacturing
     area is currently underway.  U.S. Surgical was recently acquired by Tyco
     Corporation.  The effects, if any, of this acquisition on the development
     programs and the eventual success of the product cannot be assessed at this
     time.

  .  VITEX Red Blood Cell Concentrates. The Company is developing virally
     inactivated red blood cell concentrates (RBCC) based on the use of light
     activated compounds that respond to specific wavelengths of light. These
     viral inactivation procedures, which are performed in combination with the
     Company's Quenchers, are designed to leave unaffected the structure,
     function and circulatory persistence of the treated cells, thus preserving
     the biological characteristics of these blood components. The Company has
     entered into an agreement with Pall Corporation regarding the development
     and distribution of systems for the viral inactivation of RBCC and expects
     to file an IDE application in 1999.

  The field of transfusion medicine and therapeutic use of blood products is
  characterized by rapid technological change.  Product development involves a
  high degree of risk, and there can be no assurance that the Company's product
  development efforts will result in any commercial success.


Results of Operations

Revenue

Revenue increased $7.4 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $11.1 million,
compared to $3.7 million during the first quarter of 1998.  The increase was
primarily due to sales of PLAS+SD, which was approved by the FDA in May 1998.
Sales of plasma fractions were also higher for the quarter, as a result of
increased processing volume and higher unit pricing in accordance with the
Company's processing agreement with Bayer.

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales increased $1.2 million in the first quarter of 1999 to $6.1
million, compared to $4.8 million during the first quarter of 1998.  The
increase for the quarter was primarily due to processing costs related to the
production of PLAS+SD.

As a percentage of revenue, cost of sales was 54% for the quarter ended April 3,
1999.  This was a significant improvement from the comparative 1998 period,
which did not contain revenue from the sale of PLAS+SD.  In addition, the
Company continued to strengthen both its plasma fractionation and PLAS+SD
manufacturing processes, resulting in improved margins from the previous
quarter.  Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 59% during that period.

Research and Development

Research and development costs increased $0.2 million in the first quarter of
1999 to $2 million, compared to $1.8 million during the first quarter of 1998.
The increase in research and development costs was due to the expanded
activities in the Company's red blood cell program, and an increase in
expenditures for the Company's fibrin sealant and PLAS+SD Phase IV clinical
trial studies.  Further increases in research and development expenditures are
expected to continue through the remainder of 1999.

                                       11

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.7 million in the first
quarter of 1999 to $2.5 million, compared to $0.8 million during the first
quarter of 1998.  The increase was principally due to marketing costs associated
with PLAS+SD, and the hiring of new personnel, including the national sales
force in December 1998.  The Company is reducing its general and administrative
expenses in certain areas, although expected increases in sales and marketing
expenditures relating to PLAS+SD will likely mitigate these reductions,
resulting in a similar level of selling general and administrative expenditures
throughout the remainder of the year.

Charge Related to Research Collaboration

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded a one-time charge of $2.2
million in connection with its research collaboration with Pall Corporation.
The charge occurred in connection with an equity investment in the Company made
by Pall under the collaboration agreement and reflects the difference between
the amount paid for the shares issued to Pall and the fair market value of the
common stock at that date.

Net Interest Expense

The Company earned net interest income of $37 thousand during the quarter ended
April 3, 1999, compared to the first quarter of 1998 when the Company incurred
net interest expense of $422 thousand.  The change reflects the reduced level of
debt outstanding during the first quarter of 1999, combined with the interest
earned on cash balances, including the proceeds from the Company's initial
public offering.  Included in net interest income during the first quarter of
1999, is a non-cash charge of $70 thousand, representing the accretion of the
balance of the Company's non-interest bearing advance from the Red Cross.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically financed its operations primarily through sales of
common stock, issuance of long-term debt and capital lease financing
arrangements.  In addition to these financing methods, the Company generates
cash from revenues derived under its Processing Agreement with Bayer Corporation
and the sale of PLAS+SD to the Red Cross.  The Company also receives research
and development funding, under a collaboration agreement from U.S. Surgical, for
the direct costs associated with clinical and regulatory activities for the
development of its fibrin sealant and from Pall Corporation, as part of a cost
sharing agreement, in connection with the research collaboration described
previously. At April 3, 1999, the Company had working capital of $32.3 million,
including cash and cash equivalents of $34.9 million, compared to working
capital of $33.1 million, including cash and cash equivalents of $35.3 million
at January 2, 1999.

During the quarter ended April 3, 1999, the Company generated $2.1 million of
cash from operations, compared to $3.4 million of cash used for operating
purposes during the quarter ended March 31, 1998.  The increase in cash from
operations was primarily related to the sale of PLAS+SD.  Cash used in investing
activities of $1.6 million during the quarter ended April 3, 1999, was primarily
related to the Company's renovation of its production facility, while cash used
in financing activities of $0.8 million, was primarily related to long-term debt
and capital lease repayments.

The Company believes that its existing funds and funds expected to be generated
from operations will be sufficient to meet cash requirements in the foreseeable
future.


Year 2000

Some of the Company's older computer software programs were written using two
digit fields rather than four digit fields to define the applicable year (i.e.,
"98" in the computer code refers to the year "1998").  As a result, time-
sensitive functions of those software programs may misinterpret dates after
January 1, 2000, to refer to the twentieth century rather than the twenty-first
century (i.e., "02" could be interpreted as "1902" rather than "2002" (the Year
2000 Issue)).  This could cause system failures or miscalculations resulting in
inaccuracies in computer output or disruptions of operations, including, among
other things, inaccurate processing of financial information and/or temporary
inability to process transactions, manufacture products, or engage in similar
normal business activities.

Based on recent assessments, the Company determined that it will be required to
modify or replace limited portions of hardware and software so that those
systems will properly utilize dates beyond December 31, 1999. If such

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
modifications and replacements are not made, or are not completed timely, the
Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on the operations of the Company.

The Company's plan to resolve the Year 2000 issue involves the following four
phases: assessment, remediation, testing, and implementation. To date the
Company has fully completed its assessment of all systems that could be
significantly affected by the Year 2000 Issue. The completed assessment
indicated that most of the Company's significant information, financial
reporting and manufacturing systems were at risk. Affected manufacturing systems
include program logic controllers used in various aspects of the manufacturing
process.

The Company has fully remediated all information and financial reporting
systems. The Company plans to complete remediation and testing of its
manufacturing systems by the end of July 1999. By June 1999, the Company is
expected to have contingency plans in place for its critical applications, which
primarily involve manual workarounds.

The Company has no systems which directly interface with either customers or
vendors. The Company has queried, and is in the process of collecting responses
from its important suppliers and contractors that do not share information
systems with the Company (external agents). To date, the Company is not aware of
any external agent Year 2000 issue that would materially impact the Company's
results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources.

The Company will utilize both internal and external resources to reprogram,
replace, test, and implement the operating equipment and related software for
Year 2000 modifications. The total cost of the Year 2000 project is estimated at
$375,000 and is being funded through operating cash flows. Through the quarter
ended April 3, 1999, the Company had incurred approximately $75,000 (all of
which has been expensed), relating to all phases of the Year 2000 project. Of
the total remaining project costs, approximately $250,000 is attributable to the
purchase of new software and operating equipment, which will be capitalized. The
remaining $50,000 relates to continued Year 2000 compliance monitoring and
repair of hardware and software and will be expensed as incurred.

The Company's plans to complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on
management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions
of future events including the continued availability of certain resources, and
other factors. There can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved
and actual results could differ materially.
