                          Notes to Financial Statements
                                   (unaudited)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying interim financial statements of Biospherics Incorporated
(the "Company") do not include all of the information and disclosures generally
required for annual financial statements and are unaudited.  In the opinion of
management, all material adjustments considered necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of interim periods have been included.  This report
should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report and Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.   NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

     Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.  In accordance with FASB
Standards, because of the net loss in the first quarter of 1996, outstanding
common stock equivalents were not included in the calculation of earnings per
share.  In the first quarter of 1995, outstanding common stock equivalents
consisted of stock options.  Primary and fully diluted earnings per share were
not materially different in the first quarter of 1995.  There were 3,935,338 and
4,323,363 shares used in the net income (loss) per share computation for the
periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, including 411,693 common
stock equivalents in 1995.

3.   SALE OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND LABORATORY SERVICES DIVISION (ELSD)


     On January 5, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a formal
plan to sell the net assets of ELSD because of continuing lack of profitability
and diminishing opportunity for profitable new sales.  On February 29, 1996, the
Company sold substantially all ELSD net assets, totaling $432,000, to ManTech
International Corporation, except for the Cleveland branch and certain
receivables retained by the Company relating to completed contracts.  The
Company also received a goodwill payment of $113,000 as part of the sale.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company incurred net loss of $71,031 for the first quarter of 1996,
compared with net income of $80,921 during the first quarter of 1995.  Revenues
decreased 16% to $2,941,000 in the first quarter of 1996, compared to $3,508,000
in the first quarter of 1995.  As reflected in the chart below, the decrease in
operating profit was primarily caused by loss in revenue from the Company's core
business, Information Services Division, as a consequence of the Federal
Government budget problems and the extreme snow conditions.  Details of the loss
are fully described below:

</TABLE>

     Information Services revenues were $2,938,000, which reflects a decrease of
16% or $567,000, compared with revenues of $3,505,000 during the first quarter
of 1995.  Operating profit decreased  by 74% or $238,000 from the first quarter
of 1995.  The decreases in revenues and profitability were primarily a result of
government shutdown and inclement weather in January, and reallocation of
general and administrative expenses from the sale of the Environmental and
Laboratory Services Division (ELSD).  The decrease was offset by additional
revenues generated from McNeil and Parke-Davis of $94,000 and $64,000,
respectively.

     BioTech operating expenses remained constant compared to the same period in
1995.  The expenses incurred during the first quarter of 1996 were primarily
related to efforts in the start up of the pilot plant to produce D-tagatose.
The pilot plant was designed in cooperation with MD Foods to produce samples of
sugar for evaluation by food manufacturers and to obtain data that will allow
design of the first commercial plant.  Management believes that significant
progress continues in improving the economies of its manufacturing process;
however, process scale-up has been slower than anticipated with market entry
production still months away.  If the manufacturing process can be implemented,
the commercialization of D-tagatose could have a substantial impact on future
results of operations.

     The Company continues to petition for approval of its safe-for-humans
pesticide, WingDingerTM, by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).  The
EPA found the pesticide to be nontoxic in late 1995; however, in a subsequent
event, the EPA questioned aspects of efficacy.  The Company has appealed this
finding.  EPA approval must be obtained before the product can be marketed.  In
another subsequent event, the EPA delisted the active ingredient of another
Company pesticide from its list of toxic compounds.  State acceptances of the
EPA delisting are being sought, as are marketing partners.

     SG&A has been fully allocated to each segment's operating results discussed
above.  As reflected in the accompanying Statement of Operations, SG&A increased
$44,000 from $573,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to $617,000 in the first
quarter of 1996.  This increased cost is primarily a result of the formation of
a Management and Information Services group along with related fringe benefits,
in addition to higher rent and other facility expenses allocated to SG&A from
the sale of ELSD.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     On January 5, 1996, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a formal
plan to sell the net assets of ELSD because of continuing lack of profitability
and diminishing opportunity for profitable new sales.  On February 29, 1996, the
Company completed the agreement with ManTech International Corporation (ManTech)
to sell substantially all assets of ELSD, except for the Cleveland branch and
certain receivables retained by the Company relating to completed contracts.
The Company plans to sell its Cleveland branch to ManTech International
Corporation or close the office by May 31, 1996.

     On April 25, 1996, the Company entered into a $150,000 Promissory Note
that will mature in three years.  The Promissory Note will provide financing
for start-up equipment costs related to new contract wins.  The Promissory Note
is collateralized by new equipment purchased and will accrue interest at the
rate of 8.75% per annum.  The Company is required to make monthly payments of
interest and principal.

     Cash flows from operating activities for the first quarter of 1996 reflect
a net use of $16,000.  This results primarily from increases in accounts
receivable, offset by cash settlement received by the Company in connection with
the disputed contract with the Forest Service.  The Forest Service settlement by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture was in acknowledgment of the Company's claims
of Government responsibility in the loss the Company suffered in that contract
in 1994.  Net cash used in investing activities increased by $260,000, and is
due to proceeds received from the sale of ELSD of $432,000, offset by purchases
of property and equipment and additions to patent costs, all totaling $172,000.

certain information regarding the sale of the Environmental and Laboratory
Services Division (ELSD).  As more fully described in that Form 8-K, the sale to
ManTech was completed on February 29, 1996, and all net transferred except for
the Cleveland branch and certain receivables retained by the Company relating to
completed contracts.
