Supplemental Schedule of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities:

In March 1996, the company outsourced the assembly of plastic droppers and
SegmentSamplers (TM). As a result, inventory of component parts totaling
$282,886 was transferred to outside vendors and a corresponding receivable due
from the vendors was recorded. This receivable is being reduced as assembled
parts are delivered, with the cost of components deducted from the vendors'
selling price. During the six months ended September 30, 1996 additional
inventory valued at $101,000 was transferred to outside vendors and the
outstanding receivable balance at September 30, 1996 was $110,424.

The company purchased 100% of the outstanding shares of Gamma Biologicals, B.V.
effective September 30, 1996, for 50,000 shares of common stock.  In conjunction
with the acquisition, assets of $336,000 (including $143,000 cash) were received
and liabilities of $313,000 were assumed.

4.  INVESTMENTS

  In accordance with SFAS No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
  and Equity Securities", the company classified its investments in debt
  securities as "held to maturity", since the company has the positive intent
  and ability to hold its investments in debt securities to maturity.  These
  investments are reported at amortized cost.  Investments in debt securities
  are summarized as follows:

5. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial
   statements for Gamma Biologicals, Inc. (the "company") include all
   adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for
   a fair presentation of the financial position of the company as of September
   30, 1996, the results of operations of the three and six month periods ended
   September 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the six month periods ended
   September 30, 1996 and 1995. Although management believes the disclosures in
   these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not
   misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
   annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
   accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules
   and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of
   operations for the period ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
   indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

  The mortgage note bears interest at the bank's base rate, but not less than 7%
  nor more than 13%. At September 30, 1996, the note bore interest at 9.25%. The
  mortgage note is collaterized by a first lien on the company's land and
  building.  The foreign note payable bears interest at 7%.

7. SALES BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA

   The company operates within one dominant segment - the manufacture and sale
   of blood bank and diagnostic products - and has no customer which accounts
   for 10% or more of its total sales. During the three and six month periods
   ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, the company operated in one geographic
   area, the United States, from which it sold to numerous countries. Subsequent
   to the September 30, 1996 acquisition of Gamma Biologicals, B.V., the company
   will operate in two geographic areas, the United States and Europe.

8.  ACQUISITION OF WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY

    Effective September 30, 1996, the company acquired 100% of the outstanding
    shares of its distributor in the Netherlands, Gamma Biologicals, B.V.
    Consideration for the acquisition was 50,000 shares of Gamma common stock,
    valued at $3.25 per share, the market price on the effective date. The
    acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting,
    and accordingly, the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
    purchased and the liabilities assumed based upon the fair values at the date
    of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair values of the
    net assets acquired was $139,397 and has been recorded as goodwill, which
    will be amortized over five years.

    On the basis of a pro forma consolidation of the results of operations as if
    the acquisition had taken place at April 1, 1995 rather than at September
    30, 1996, consolidated net sales for the six month periods ending September
    30, 1996 and 1995 would have been approximately $8,740,000 and $8,710,000.
    Consolidated income and earnings per share would have been $596,000 and $.13
    for 1996 and $558,000 and $.12 for 1995. Such pro forma amounts are not
    necessarily indicative of what the actual consolidated results of operations
    might have been if the acquisition had been effective at April 1, 1995.

    Gamma Biologicals, B.V. was formed in November 1993 to market Gamma products
    and certain noncompeting product lines in the Netherlands. Subsequent to the
    acquisition, the subsidiary will continue to sell directly in the Benelux
    area, as well as serve as a European distribution center and manufacturing
    site for the ReACT test system.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
- -------------------------------------

  Revenues decreased 3.6% for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared
with the same period in 1995.  Domestic sales fell 9.6% due primarily to the
shortage of human-source raw material for certain rare reagents and the
backorder of one third-party product.  Our supplier introduced an improved
version of this product late in the second quarter; this should eliminate the
supply shortages and FDA recalls experienced over the past twelve months.
Internationally, with exclusive distributorships established in every country in
Central and South America, sales continue to strengthen in this region,
increasing 62% compared to the same period last year.  Export sales rose 13%
overall in the current period.

  Gross margin as a percentage of sales rose to 58.5% in the current period due
to the conversion of source material for additional high-volume products to
clone-based raw materials grown in our in-house clone lab. This conversion
continues to improve manufacturing efficiencies in both reagent manufacturing
and the clone lab as more products are converted.

  Selling and general and administrative expenses remained relatively constant
with the prior period.  Shipping and warehouse expenses fell 25% compared with
the same period in 1995.  Relocation of the shipping department to new
facilities that fully utilize the bar coding system implemented last year has
significantly improved accuracy and control.  Future periods should experience
further efficiencies due to the completion in September of a computer software
upgrade that further streamlined the order fulfillment process.

  Research and development expenses increased 11% in 1996 after a 27% increase
in 1995, due to costs associated with ReACT alpha testing and Olympus reagent
field studies.

  Interest income declined due to a reduction in the amount of funds invested
and a change in the investment mix in the current period. Interest expense
decreased due to normal debt retirement.

  The provision for income taxes rose 34% due to higher taxable income in the
current period.

  In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board("FASB") issued SFAS
No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of",
which sets forth guidance as to when to recognize an impairment of long-lived
assets, including goodwill, and how to measure such an impairment.  The company
adopted SFAS No. 121 on April 1, 1996.  The adoption of SFAS No. 121 did not
have a material effect on the company's results of operations or financial
position.

  In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", which permits, but does not require, a fair-value-based method
for accounting for employee stock option plans which results in compensation
expense being recognized in the results of operations when stock options are
granted.  The company adopted SFAS No. 123 on April 1, 1996.  We plan to
continue the use of our current intrinsic-value-based method of accounting for
such plans where no compensation expense is recognized.  However, as required by
SFAS No. 123, we will provide pro forma disclosure of net income and earnings
per share, if significantly different from reported amounts, in the notes to the
annual financial statements as if the fair-value-based method had been applied.
The company has not granted any stock-based compensation instruments in the
three and six month periods ended September 30, 1996.

<PAGE>
 
SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
- -----------------------------------

  Net income for the six months ended September 30, 1996 rose 5.5% over the
prior period.  A 2% increase in gross margin on relatively flat revenues coupled
with a 2% reduction in operating expenses as outlined above for the three month
period ended September 30, 1996 has resulted in a 16% increase in pretax
earnings to date which was partially offset by a 42% increase in income taxes.



LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------


  Net cash flows increased approximately $309,000 during the six month period
ended September 30, 1996 compared with the same period in 1995. Operating cash
flows improved by nearly $164,000, due primarily to the reduction of the
receivable resulting from outsourcing the assembly of plastic droppers and
SegmentSamplers. Management believes that operating cash flows will be
sufficient to meet future operating needs.

  With the completion of improvements to the shipping area in May 1996 and the
computer system upgrade implementation in September 1996, capital expenditures
have begun to slow, decreasing $70,000 from the same period last year.  Further
domestic expenditures are planned during the last half of fiscal 1997 to
streamline the packaging function and add capacity to the monoclonal laboratory.
Cash from investing activities also improved by $143,000 due to the acquisition
of 100% of the outstanding shares of its distributor in the Netherlands (see
Note 8).

  The new subsidiary, Gamma Biologicals, B.V. will move its operations to a
larger facility in the Amsterdam area in the third quarter.  The additional
square footage will allow the subsidiary to begin European distribution
activities and ReACT manufacturing during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.  We
expect that capital expenditures for leasehold improvements and equipment will
not exceed $100,000 during the next six months.

  The company recently requested proposals from several medical equipment
manufacturers for the development of a completely automated version of the ReACT
system.  Although the cost to develop such a system cannot yet be estimated, the
development process will take at least 12 months.  We submitted a 510K
application to the FDA in October 1996 for approval to market a semi-automated
ReACT system, and expect to begin selling this system internationally before
fiscal year-end.


  The company's existing capital resources, consisting of $3,800,000 in cash and
short-term investments and a $1,500,000 revolving credit line, should be
sufficient to support planned product development and capital improvements
during the next 12 months.
