                      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, the accompanying unaudited financial statements 
contain all material adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) 
necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position, the results of 
its operations and its cash flows as of and for the three-month and 
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997. This report should be read in 
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year 
ended December 31, 1996.
 
2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share
 
    Net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding during the respective periods. In the 
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, 
outstanding common stock equivalents consisted of stock options. Primary 
earning per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997, does not 
include common stock equivalents because the effect of such inclusion would 
be to increase earnings per share. The effect of fully dilutive earnings per 
share is equivalent to the primary earnings per share and therefore is not 
presented in the statements of operations.
 
3. DEFERRED REVENUE
 
    Deferred revenue includes a $1,000,000 non-refundable advance against 
future royalties from the D-tagatose licensing agreement with MD Foods 
Ingredients amba of Denmark. The advance will be recoverable at 50% of such 
annual royalties. As commercialization of D-tagatose is not anticipated prior 
to the summer of 1999, the deferred revenue has accordingly been classified 
as non-current.
 
4. ESTABLISHMENT OF INFORMATION SERVICES DIVISION (ISD) AS A WHOLLY OWNED 
SUBSIDIARY
 
    On May 15, 1997, at the Company's Annual Meeting, the Shareholders of the 
Company approved a plan to convert the Information Services Division (ISD) 
into a subsidiary. The new subsidiary will focus on the expansion of its 
healthcare business into nurse triage/demand management. The subsidiary will 
evaluate methods of increasing its capitalization, including a possible IPO, 
in order to accelerate growth. Under the reorganization, ISD, which to date 
has funded all of the Company's nonfattening sugar (D-tagatose) development 
activities, will be free to concentrate on opportunities in its primary 
field, the healthcare market. With the recent worldwide licensing of 
D-tagatose to MD Foods, the Company has received funds that, together with 
anticipated future royalties, should allow it to continue to develop other 
proprietary products. The Company is in the process of organizing the 
subsidiary. These organization efforts include raising sufficient funds to 
expand ISD's existing healthcare business into nurse triage/ demand 
management.
 
5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
 
    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" 
(FAS 128), which is effective for years ending after December 15, 1997. FAS 
128 simplifies the existing earnings per share (EPS) computations under 
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. FAS 128 revises the disclosure 
requirements and increases the comparability of EPS data on an international 
basis. In simplifying the EPS computations, the presentation of primary EPS 
is replaced with basic EPS, with the principal difference being that common 
stock equivalents are not considered in computing basic EPS. In addition, FAS 
128 requires dual presentation of basic and diluted EPS. If the new 
pronouncement were applied, the basic earnings per share would have been 
$0.04 and the diluted earnings per share would have been $0.03 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Results of Operations for the Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 
1997 and 1996
 
    Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB may contain 
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the 
Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
and are identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as, 
"believes," "expects," is or are "expected," "anticipates," "anticipated," 
"should" and words of similar impact. These forward-looking statements are 
based on the Company's current expectations. Because forward-looking 
statements involve risk and uncertainties, the Company's actual results could 
differ materially.
 
    The Company reported a net loss of $144,948 ($0.02 per share) on sales of 
$3.2 million for the third quarter of 1997 compared with net income of 
$444,560 ($0.05 per share) on sales of $4.1 million in the same period of 
1996. Results for 1996 included a $750,000 payment from MD Foods Ingredients 
amba of Denmark (MD Foods) under the terms of the September 1996 Licensing 
Agreement. Net income totaled $326,080 ($0.03 per share) on sales of $11.1 
million for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, compared with net 
income of $450,811 ($0.05 per share) on sales of $10.8 million during the 
nine months ended September 30, 1996. Results for the nine-month period ended 
September 30, 1996, included an after-tax loss of $64,194 ($0.01 per share) 
from the sale of assets of the Company's Environmental and Laboratory 
Services Division (ELSD) in the first quarter of last year.

</TABLE>
 
    The increase in Information Services revenue for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997, over the corresponding prior year period was primarily 
the result of increased activity from government contracts during the first 
quarter of 1997. The third quarter decrease in revenue was primarily the 
result of the expiration of two commercial contracts. The decrease in income 
from operations was a result of an increase in programming, consulting and 
equipment costs related to the upgrade of technology, nurse triage/demand 
management program development, and activities associated with establishing 
the Information Services Division as a subsidiary.
 
    Revenue from BioTech Programs for the nine months ended September 30, 
1997 and 1996 consisted primarily of two $750,000 payments received in the 
third quarter of 1996 and the first quarter of 1997. The two payments 
resulted from the licensing agreement with MD Foods. In addition, the Company 
is providing technical support to MD Foods to effect the commercialization of 
D-tagatose. The Company will receive approximately $200,000 per year for 
technical support services, of which approximately $45,000 was recognized in 
the third quarter of 1997. The Company also received an additional payment 
aggregating $1,000,000 in the first quarter of 1997 under the MD Foods 
agreement representing a non-refundable advance against future royalties. 
This payment is classified as deferred revenue in the balance sheet.
 
    Other income, net of other expenses, increased $34,505 in the current 
quarter and remained constant for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 
when compared with the same prior year periods. The increase between the 
third quarters of 1997 and 1996 was the result of interest income generated 
from $2.5 million of license payments received from MD Foods in late 1996 and 
early 1997.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
        RESULTS   OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
 
    Due to the seasonal nature of certain reservation and tourism contracts, 
the Company expects to report lower sales and a loss for the fourth quarter 
of 1997, but will likely report sales and profitability for the year as a 
whole, consistent with the prior year period.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
    In May 1997, the Company renewed its Loan Agreement with NationsBank N.A. 
(the "Bank"). The Agreement, which expires on May 31, 1998, provides for 
borrowing up to $2 million, subject to advance rates as defined in the 
Agreement. Outstanding borrowing under the Agreement aggregated $270,000 at 
September 30, 1997, and is collateralized by the Company's accounts 
receivable. The interest rate is the Bank's prime rate plus .75% per annum.
 
    In the first quarter of 1997, the Company signed a commitment letter with 
the Bank to assist in financing equipment purchases related to potential new 
contracts. This arrangement will consist of a series of loans for the 
acquisition of computer systems and related telecommunication equipment not 
to exceed a maximum aggregate of $1 million. Additional terms include 
repayment of each loan in thirty-six (36) equal monthly installments at a 
fixed interest rate equal to the Treasury Index plus 275 basis points. 
Outstanding borrowing under the Agreement aggregated $112,724 at September 
30, 1997, and is collateralized by the equipment purchased.
 
    Cash flow from operating activities for the nine-month period ended 
September 30, 1997, reflects a net cash inflow of $1.9 million. This increase 
resulted primarily from a $1,750,000 payment under the licensing agreement 
with MD Foods. Investment in new equipment aggregated $726,602, which was 
financed in part through the equipment line of credit with the Bank discussed 
above, and the issuance of common stock (primarily through the exercise of 
employees' stock options).
 
    The Company will have increasing capital needs over the next three years, 
which will need to be funded externally. In order to effectively compete for 
new contracts and maintain and expand existing programs, the Company must 
continuously upgrade its information and telecommunication systems. The 
equipment will not only expand capacity and capabilities to better service 
the customer, but it will also increase efficiency in the Company's call 
center operations. The Company will continue to seek additional intermediate 
and long-term financing alternatives to underwrite the capital expenditures 
needed to keep pace with its long-range business plan.
 
BALANCE SHEET REVIEW
 
    Working capital as of September 30, 1997 was $2.7 million, which 
represents a $1.3 million (93%) increase from working capital of $1.4 million 
at December 31, 1996. This increase was the result of a $1,750,000 payment 
received in connection with the MD Foods licensing agreement for the 
Company's proprietary nonfattening sugar, D-tagatose.
 
FORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY
 
    On May 15, 1997, at the Company's Annual Meeting, the Shareholders 
approved a plan to convert the Information Services Division (ISD) into a 
subsidiary. The new subsidiary will focus on the expansion of its healthcare 
business into nurse triage/demand management. The subsidiary will evaluate 
methods of increasing its capitalization, including a possible IPO in order 
to accelerate growth. Under the reorganization, ISD, which to date has funded 
all of the Company's nonfattening sugar (D-tagatose) development costs, will 
be free to concentrate on opportunities in its primary field, the healthcare 
market. With the recent worldwide licensing of D-tagatose to MD Foods 
Ingredients amba of Denmark, the Company has received funds that, together
