             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997

         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31,1998, and December 31, 1997, the results of operations for the three
months ended March 31,1998 and 1997 and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31,1998 and 1997. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.


(1)  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

                  Upon adoption of FASB No. 115, management has determined that
the company's portfolio is best characterized as "Available-For-Sale". This has
resulted in the balance sheet carrying value of the company's marketable
securities investments, as of March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 being
increased approximately 77.63 % and 70.90 % respectively over its historical
cost. A corresponding increase in shareholders' equity has been effectuated. In
accordance with the provisions of FASB No. 115, the adjustment in shareholders'
equity to reflect the company's unrealized gains has been made net of the tax
effect had these gains been realized.
         The following tables summarize the company's investments as of :

Part II OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.
Legal Proceedings

         As previously reported, Daxor Corporation, (through its separately
licensed divisions), has been involved in various proceedings with the New York
State Department of Health relating to its licenses to operate clinical
laboratories, its blood bank and semen bank. The following is a summary of
recent activity in these matters in the first quarter ended March 31, 1998.
Litigation in which there was no activity has been described in previous
filings:


 1.  Vladimir v. Feldschuh Daxor Corp & Gelb (Client/ Case No. 133981-901). In
     1992, Daxor received a preliminary proposal for a partial take over of the
     Daxor Corporation at $20.00 per share. At the time of the offer, Daxor had
     not yet received clearance from the FDA for its Blood Volume Analyzer, or
     received its complete patents for the blood volume analysis system. The
     Resimmo Company was a privately held European Corporation. The take over
     offer was withdrawn several weeks after it was made. A class action suit
     was instituted against Daxor as part of the failed proposed partial take
     over. Daxor management always considered this suit frivolous. Daxor
     accepted the offer of the plaintiffs to withdraw and agreed not to
     counter-sue on March 18, 1998.

 2.  Daxor Corp., et al. v. Linden, et al (United States District Court,
     Southern District, Case No.95 Civ. 7847 (KTD)). Daxor instituted a $100
     million anti-trust suit, Racketeering Influenced Corrupt Organizations Act
     and an action pursuant to 42 UDC 1983 for violations of its civil rights
     against the New York Blood Center and certain New York State Department of
     Health employees. Federal Judge Kevin Duffy ruled against Daxor in its
     Rico/Anti-Trust action against employees of the New York State Department
     of Health and the New York Blood Center. The Corporation is appealing this
     decision because it was not afforded an opportunity to present its
     evidence.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared with three months ended March 31,
1997.

         For the three months ended March 31, 1998, total revenues were
$825,525, down from $864,610 in 1997. Operating revenues were $94,529 in 1998
down from $150,282 in 1997. Dividend income was $495,280 with a net interest
expense of $179,510, as compared to dividend income of $544,923 with a net
interest expense of $18,482 in 1997. In 1998, the Company had a net loss of
$236,455 before income taxes versus a gain of $291,976 before income taxes in
1997. Operating revenues have been sharply decreased because of legal actions
against Idant Laboratory's semen and blood banking facilities here in New York
State. The Company has not yet received any income from the Blood Volume
Analyzer, which is in the process of being introduced to hospitals. The Company
has been unable to take new clients in its sperm bank or blood bank, but has
been able to maintain its current clients. On April 26, 1997 the Company
received accreditation from the American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). The
Company became the only sperm banking organization in New York State to receive
this accreditation, and the sixth within the United States. The Company has a
$55 million action in the Court of Claims against New York State Department of
Health for discriminatory treatment. The case examines the treatment of the New
York Blood Center by the New York State Department of Health as compared to the
treatment of Idant by the New York State Department of Health. Two managers of
the New York Blood Center were sentenced to prison terms in December 1997 by a
Federal Court on charges of conspiring to tamper with tests to screen blood for
the AIDS virus and other infectious diseases as a way of taking shortcuts. The
Company's operating losses are due to actions

<PAGE>

by Department of Health officials that are opposed to the concept of individuals
having the right to store their own blood. The Company is considering moving its
semen banking operations out of the State and discontinuing its blood banking
operations. The Company expects that as the Blood Volume Analyzer sales
increase, the relative significance from blood banking and semen banking
services will diminish. Negotiations are taking place between Daxor and the New
York State Department of Health to end the current lawsuits. At one time, the
Company had planned to develop a manufacturing site for the injection kit for
the Blood Volume Analyzer within the State. At the present time, this facility
is planned for another State.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                  At March 31, 1998 the Company had total assets of $43,242,160
and total liabilities of $8,038,903 with shareholders' equity of $35,203,257.
The Company has a net pre-taxed unrealized gain of $18,294,256 and $ 12,074,209
of net after tax unrealized capital gains on available-for-sale securities in
its portfolio. This amount is included in the calculation of Total Shareholders'
Equity. The Company's stock portfolio had a market value of $41,858,891 with
short-term loans of $1,244,204 with 4,790,709 shares outstanding.

                  The Company has a 5 year agreement with Oxford N.M.G., of Oak
Ridge, Tennessee to produce the Blood Volume Analyzer. The Company signed a

preliminary agreement with Wellport Inc. of Rochester, New York to fabricate the
Blood Volume Analyzer kit. The Company is currently in negotiation with a
radio-pharmaceutical company to dispense the kit.

                  The Company has adequate resources for the marketing of its
Blood Volume Analyzer and the liquid capital to sustain its blood bank. If the
Company were to expand its blood banking operations on a full scale, nation-wide
basis, it would require additional capital. The Company's financial reserves
have played an essential role in sustaining the company during its legal battles
to provide frozen blood banking services to the public. The Company has
sustained a large loss of revenues and profits as results of the actions taken
against it by members of the New York Health Department and the anti-trust
actions of the New York Blood Center. The Company cannot predict the ultimate
outcome of its Federal RICO anti-trust suit against the Health Department and
the New York Blood Center. The Company plans to focus its financial reserves
primarily on developing and marketing the Blood Volume Analyzer.

                  The Company did not file any reports on form 8-K during the
first three months of 1998.


               The Company filed a Form S-3 on March 18, 1998 for 100,000 
shares.
