              CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CONDENSED NOTES

  The unaudited consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
  accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q, do not include all of the
  information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in
  the United States of America for complete financial statements.  All
  adjustments considered necessary by management for a fair presentation have
  been included.  Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily
  indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

  An annual report (Form 10-K) has been filed with the Securities and Exchange
  Commission ("Commission") for the year ended December 31, 1999.  That report
  contains, among other information, a description of the Company's business,
  audited financial statements, notes to the financial statements, the report of
  the independent auditors and management's discussion and analysis of results
  of operations and financial condition.  Readers of this report are presumed to
  be familiar with that annual report.


2.  INVENTORIES

  Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.  Cost has been
  determined by using the first-in, first-out method.  Inventories at March 31,
  2000 and December 31, 1999, consisted of the following:

3.  SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

  During the first quarter of 2000, the Company completed the first closing of a
  private placement of units, consisting of one share of the Company's common
  stock plus warrants to purchase two shares of the Company's common stock (the
  "Units"), primarily to a series of institutional investors.  The Units were
  priced at the Nasdaq closing price for the Company's common stock the day
  prior to the signing of the subscription agreements relating to the purchase
  of such Units.  The price per Unit was $4.75.  In the first closing, 1,010,868
  common shares and warrants to purchase 2,021,736 common shares were issued in
  exchange for gross proceeds of $4,600,000 in cash and conversion of $202,000
  of short-term notes and accrued interest payable.  The exercise price of one-
  half of the warrants

                                       5
<PAGE>

  issued in the private placement is equal to 125% of the price paid per Unit.
  The exercise price of the other half of the warrants is equal to 150% of the
  price paid per Unit.

  The Company has agreed to issue additional warrants to its placement agents
  giving the agents the right to acquire 155,000 common shares at an exercise
  price of $5.94 per share.

  The Company has agreed to file, within 90 days of the final closing of the
  private placement, a registration statement with the Commission registering
  the common shares, and the common shares issuable upon exercise of the
  warrants, issued in the private placement.

  The private placement was completed in April 2000 with a second closing
  resulting in gross proceeds to the Company of $1,450,000 in cash.


4.  STOCK OPTIONS

  The Company has a stock incentive plan under which 1,365,000 shares of the
  Company's common stock are reserved for issuance (the "Plan").  The Plan
  permits the Company to grant stock options to acquire shares of the Company's
  common stock, award stock bonuses of the Company's common stock, and grant
  stock appreciation rights.  During the three months ended March 31, 2000,
  options to purchase 225,000 shares at an exercise price of $1.9125 have been
  issued under the Plan.  Options to purchase an additional 400,000 common
  shares at an exercise price of $1.9125 have also been issued, subject to
  shareholder approval of an amendment to the Plan.

  The Company's board of directors has also approved an additional option grant
  to purchase 400,000 common shares at an exercise price of $1.5625.  This
  option grant is not issued pursuant to the Plan.

FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company's working capital increased during the first quarter of 2000 by
  $3,762,000, from $924,000 at December 31, 1999 to $4,686,000 at March 31,
  2000.  The increase in working capital resulted primarily from the net
  proceeds from issuance of common stock of $4,668,000, offset in part by the
  effect of the net loss for the quarter ($968,000 less non-cash charges of
  $156,000).

  Cash and cash equivalents increased from $789,000 at December 31, 1999 to
  $4,205,000 at March 31, 2000.

                                       7
<PAGE>

  While the Company believes that its new therapeutic products and technologies
  show considerable promise, its ability to realize significant revenues
  therefrom is dependent upon the Company's success in developing business
  alliances with biotechnology and/or pharmaceutical companies that have the
  required resources to develop and market certain of these products.  There is
  no assurance that the Company's effort to develop such business alliances will
  be successful.

  The Company expects to continue to report losses in 2000 as the level of
  expenses is expected to continue to exceed revenues.  The Company can give no
  assurances as to when and if its revenues will exceed its expenses.


 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 COMPARED WITH THREE
                          MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999


Planned Divestiture of Assets

  At the direction of the Company's board of directors, the Company is currently
  undertaking a restructuring and reorganization under which the non-therapeutic
  assets of the Company, including substantially all of the assets of OXIS
  Health Products, Inc., are to be divested or spun off and the Company will be
  refocused in the area of ethical pharmaceutical development.  Although a
  formal plan for this divestiture has not been put in place, it is anticipated
  that all of the assets that are currently generating revenues for the Company
  will either be sold to a third party or spun off to the Company's
  shareholders.  Upon completion of this anticipated restructuring, the Company
  will no longer have a source of current revenues.  The Company's continued
  operations will be dependent upon additional capital financing until such time
  as revenues can be generated from its therapeutic development programs.


Revenues

  The Company's revenues for the quarters ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 were as
  follows:

<TABLE>

                                      ==========   ==========
</TABLE>
  Sales of research assays and fine chemicals declined by $60,000 from $354,000
  in the first quarter of 1999 to $294,000 in the first quarter of 2000 due to a
  decline in sales volumes.

                                       8
<PAGE>

  Revenues from sales of therapeutic drug monitoring assays declined in the
  first quarter of 2000 as compared to the first quarter of 1999 resulting in a
  decrease in sales of $194,000.  Effective June 28, 1999, the Company sold the
  intellectual property, contract rights and finished goods inventory relating
  to its therapeutic drug monitoring assays.  Therapeutic drug monitoring assay
  revenues in the first quarter of 2000 represent contract sales of assays and
  services to the purchaser of the rights to this technology.  Such revenues are
  expected to continue to be less than the level prior to July 1999.  Revenues
  from therapeutic drug monitoring assay sales and related services may
  terminate at the end of the third quarter of 2000, when the contract to
  manufacture product for the purchaser of the technology expires.

  Revenue from instrument sales and development declined by $154,000, from
  $487,000 in the first quarter of 1999 to $333,000 in the first quarter of
  2000.  This decrease resulted from reduced orders from customers.  Since early
  1999, the Company has not invested in any significant marketing efforts to
  replace lost instrument customers.

  Other revenues in the first quarter of 1999 included a $50,000 royalty payment
  that did not recur in the first quarter of 2000.


Costs and Expenses

  Cost of sales was 69% of revenues for the first quarter 1999 and increased to
  90% of product sales for the first quarter of 2000.  This increase in the cost
  of sales as a percentage of sales is due primarily to the effect of the fixed
  manufacturing costs for the Company's products being spread over a lower
  manufacturing and sales volume.  Sales volume for the first quarter of 2000
  was approximately 35% less than that of the first quarter of 1999. Cost of
  sales declined from $1,007,000 in the first quarter of 1999 to $852,000 in the
  first quarter of 2000, but this decrease was not in proportion to the decrease
  in sales volumes.

  Research and development expenses decreased from $770,000 in the first quarter
  of 1999 to $338,000 in the first quarter of 2000.  The decrease in research
  and development expenses resulted primarily from the closure of the Company's
  French research laboratory in the second quarter of 1999.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from $858,000 in the
  first quarter of 1999 to $722,000 in the first quarter of 2000.  The decrease
  is primarily the result of reductions in personnel of approximately $66,000
  and a reduction in professional fees of approximately $30,000.

                                       9
<PAGE>

Net Loss

  The Company continued to experience losses in the first quarter of 2000.  The
  first quarter 2000 loss of $968,000 ($.12 per share-basic and diluted) was
  $223,000   less than the $1,191,000 ($.15 per share-basic and diluted) loss
  for the first quarter of 1999.  The decrease in the net loss is primarily due
  to the decreases in research and development and selling, general and
  administrative costs.

  The Company expects to incur a substantial net loss for 2000. If the Company
  develops substantial new revenue sources or if substantial additional capital
  is raised through further sales of securities, the Company plans to continue
  to invest in research and development activities and incur sales, general and
  administrative expenses in amounts greater than its anticipated near-term
  product margins. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional
  capital or to develop new revenue sources, it will have to cease, or severely
  curtail, its operations. In this event, while expenses will be reduced,
  expense levels, and the potential write down of various assets, would still be
  in amounts greater than anticipated revenues. The Company expects that
  additional capital will be required in 2001.

Item 2.   Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

  On March 3, 2000, the Company issued 1,010,868 shares of its common stock and
  warrants to purchase 2,021,736 shares of its common stock to eight accredited
  investors.  Gross proceeds from the sale of these securities were $4,802,000,
  including $4,600,000 in cash and $202,000 in exchange for a note and accrued
  interest.  The securities were sold in a private placement pursuant to
  Regulation D of the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  In April 2000 the Company completed the second and final closing of its
  private placement pursuant to Regulation D by issuing an additional 366,081

  $1,450,000.

  In total, warrants to purchase 2,753,898 shares of common stock were issued to
  investors in the private placement.  The number of shares subject to the
  warrants by exercise price is as follows:
