              Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

    On September 30, 1998, Spectrum Medical Industries, Inc. (SMI), which
    formerly owned 79.9% of Spectrum Laboratories, Inc. (the Company), was
    merged into the Company. Under the terms of the merger, 98 shares of the
    Company's common stock were issued to SMI shareholders for each share of SMI
    common stock which resulted in 3,532,018 shares being issued to the
    shareholders of SMI. The merger is a combination of two companies under
    common control and has been accounted for in a manner similar to a pooling
    of interests. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet is presented as if the
    merger occurred on October 3, 1998 and the unaudited pro forma statements of
    operations are presented as if the merger occurred as of the beginning of
    the earliest period presented. Pro forma adjustments are made to the SMI
    consolidated financial statements to present the pro forma Company financial
    statements giving effect to the merger.

    The pro forma unaudited financial statements have been prepared for
    comparative purposes and are based upon the historical financial results of
    SMI and the Company. These combined statements are not necessarily
    indicative of the financial position or the results of operations that would
    have occurred or that may be achieved in the future. The unaudited pro forma
    financial statements should be read in conjunction with the historical
    consolidated financial statements of SMI and the Company, including notes
    thereto.

  Spectrum Medical Industries, Inc. (SMI) and Spectrum Laboratories, Inc. (SLI)
         Notes to Pro Forma Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements


1.      SMI's financial statements reflect a minority interest in SLI and in
        another partially-owned company, Spectrum Europe B.V. (SBV). SLI had the
        remaining ownership interest in SBV and SLI's financial statements,
        before the merger, reflected a minority interest in SBV. As a result of
        the merger, these minority interests have been eliminated. The remaining
        amount shown for minority interest primarily relates to the preferred
        stock of SLI Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of SLI.

2.      Adjustment to SMI equity accounts to present SLI capital structure which
        includes the issuance of 3,532,018 shares of SLI's common stock to the
        shareholders of SMI in exchange for 36,041 shares of SMI's common stock.

3.      Elimination of minority interest in net income/loss of SLI.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
  of Spectrum Medical Industries, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Spectrum Medical
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of January 3, 1998 and
December 31, 1996, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the consolidated financial position of Spectrum Medical
Industries, Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 3, 1998 and December 31, 1996,
and the results of their consolidated operations and their cash flows for the
years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The consolidated financial
     statements include the accounts of Spectrum Medical Industries, Inc.
     (Spectrum) and its majority-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the Company),
     Spectrum Laboratories, Inc. (SLI), Spectrum Chromatography (Chromatography)
     and Spectrum Europe B.V. (Spectrum B.V.). Spectrum Laboratories, Inc. (SLI)
     and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, SLI Acquisition Corp. (SLIAC) (Note 2)
     and Hydro-Med Products, Inc. (Hydro-Med), and its partially-owned
     subsidiary, Spectrum B.V., are a separate public reporting entity. The
     Company is engaged primarily in the manufacture and sale of medical
     laboratory equipment and supplies and disposable products. All products are
     for sale primarily to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical
     industries.

     CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR - Effective November 1997, the Company changed its
     fiscal year end to the Saturday nearest December 31. The years ended

     statements include the accounts of Spectrum and its majority-owned
     subsidiaries, SLI, Chromatography and Spectrum B.V. All intercompany
     balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

     USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of the financial statements in
     conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
     management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
     amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
     liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported
     amounts of rev enues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual
     results could differ from those estimates.

     primarily through distributors to medical equipment and medical supply
     companies. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers
     and generally does not require collateral. The Company maintains reserves
     for potential credit losses.

     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents are comprised of cash
     in banks demand deposit accounts with original maturities of 90 days or
     less.

     INVESTMENTS - The Company accounts for its investments under the provisions
     of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, ACCOUNTING
     FOR CERTAIN INVESTMENTS IN DEBT AND EQUITY SECURITIES. Any unrealized gains
     or losses related to available for sale securities is recorded as a
     component of shareholders' equity, net of tax.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (using the
     first-in, first-out method) or market value.

     lesser of the lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset.

     GOODWILL - Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the
     fair value of net assets acquired from the Cellco Incorporated (Cellco)
     (Note 2) acquisition during 1996 and the Microgon acquisition during 1995.
     Goodwill is being amortized on a straight-line basis over a 15 and 20 year
     period for Cellco and Microgon, respectively. The Company measures the
     recoverability of goodwill annually by comparing undiscounted expected
     future cash flows from the related operations to the carrying value of
     goodwill.

     LONG-LIVED ASSETS - The Company accounts for the impairment and disposition
     of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 121, ACCOUNTING FOR THE
     IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS AND FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS TO BE DISPOSED
     OF. SFAS No. 121 requires impairnent losses to be recognized for long-lived
     assets used in operations when indicators of impairment are present and the
     undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover the assets' carrying
     amount. There was no impairment of the value of such assets for the years
     ended January 3, 1998 and December 31, 1996.

     INCOME TAXES - Spectrum is a subchapter S corporation. Its federal and
     state income taxes are the responsibility of the shareholders of the
     Company. SLI is a public corporation and is subject to both federal and
     state income taxes.

     The Company accounts for income taxes under the provision of SFAS No. 109,
     ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. This statement requires the recognition of
     deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future consequences of events
     that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax
     returns. Measurement of the deferred items is based on enacted tax laws. In
     the event the future consequences of differences between financial
     reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities
     result in a deferred tax asset, SFAS No. 109 requires an evaluation of the
     probability of being able to realize the future benefits indicated by such
     asset. A valuation allowance related to a deferred tax asset is recorded
     when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
     tax asset will not be realized.

     MINORITY INTEREST - The Company records the minority interest of its
     partially-owned subsidiaries based on minority shareholders' interest in
     each subsidiary. At January 3, 1998, the cumulative minority interest in
     SLI (21%), Chromatography (21%) and SLIAC (Note 2) was $263,960, $(71,097)
     (deficit) and $2,000,000, respectively.

     REVENUE RECOGNITION - The Company records revenue at the time the related
     products are shipped.

     TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES - Assets and liabilities of Spectrum B.V.
     are translated into U.S. dollars at year-end rates of exchange, and income
     and expenses are translated at average rates during the respective years.
     The functional currency of this subsidiary is the guilder; therefore,
     translation gains or losses are recorded as a separate component of
     shareholders' equity.

     FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Management believes that the carrying
     amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts
     receivable due from affiliates, accounts payable and accrued expenses
     approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these financial
     instruments. A portion of long-term debt bears interest at a rate indexed
     to the prime rate, and the remaining long-term debt and notes payable to
     affiliated parties bear interest at a rate comparable to prime at January
     3, 1998; therefore, management believes the carrying amount of the
     outstanding borrowings at January 3, 1998 approximates fair market value.

     ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION - SFAS No. 123, ACCOUNTING FOR
     STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION, defines a fair value method of accounting for
     stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method,
     compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of
     the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the
     vesting period.

     The Company has elected to continue to account for such transactions under
     Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK
     ISSUED TO EMPLOYEES, but is required to disclose in a note to the financial
     statements pro forma net loss and loss per share as if the Company had
     applied the fair value method of accounting (Note 7).

     NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS - In June 1997, the Financial Accounting
     Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 130, REPORTING COMPREHENSIVE INCOME,
     which is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December
     15, 1997. This statement requires that all items that are required to be
     recognized under accounting standards as comprehensive income be reported
     in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as
     other financial statements.

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131. DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
     AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION, which is effective for annual and
     interim periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement
     establishes standards for the method that public entities report
     information about operating segments in annual financial statements and
     requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating
     segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. It also
     establishes standards for related disclosures about product and services,
     geographical areas, and major customers.

     In February 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, EMPLOYERS' DISCLOSURE ABOUT
     PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS, which is effective for annual
     and interim, periods beginning after December 15, 1997. This statement
     standardized the disclosure requirements for pensions and other

     postretirement benefits to the extent practicable, requires additional
     information on changes in the benefit obligations and fair values of plan
     assets that will facilitate financial analysis and eliminate certain
     disclosures that are no longer as useful as they were under previous
     statements.

     The Company is reviewing the impact of these pronouncements on its
     financial statements.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS - Certain December 31, 1996 balances have been
     reclassified to conform with the January 3, 1998 presentation.


2.   ACQUISITIONS

     On October 1, 1996, SLIAC entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement with
     Cellco, a Delaware corporation, and acquired the operating assets and
     liabilities of Cellco in exchange for 10,000 shares of SLIAC preferred
     stock valued at $2,000,000. The acquisition was recorded as a purchase for
     accounting purposes and the purchase price of $2,000,000 was allocated to
     assets acquired of $773,407, liabilities assumed of $685,105, intangible
     assets of $211,698, and purchased research and development costs of
     $1,700,000. The preferred shareholders of SLIAC have the right to put their
     stock to SLI at any time from October 1, 2000 to September 30, 2001 for a
     price of $2,000,000. In the event the Company is combined with SMI and the
     combined company completes an underwritten offering, the preferred
     shareholders have the right to exchange such stock for 7% of the newly
     combined company. The preferred shares are nonvoting and have preference
     over common shareholders as to dividends and liquidation.

     The following unaudited consolidated pro forma results of operations for
     the year ended December 3 1, 1996 assume that the acquisition of the
     operations of Cellco occurred at the beginning of fiscal year 1996. These
     unaudited consolidated pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of
     the results which would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of
     that date or of results which may occur in the future. 

                                                                1996

     The Company's valuation allowance of $4,072,528 at January 3, 1998 results
     from the uncertainty of the Company's ability to utilize net operating loss
     and tax credit carryforwards to reduce future taxes. The valuation
     allowance decreased $125,201 during 1997.

     At January 3, 1998, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards for
     federal income tax purposes of $9,733,699 ($8,100,000 available to offset
     income of Microgon only), which expire at various dates from 1998 through
     2009. The utilization of Microgon's $8,100,000 federal net operating loss
     is limited to approximately $298,000 of Microgon income annually. Any
     unused net operating loss is carried forward. As a result of the
     limitation, it is possible that more than $5,000,000 of the Microgon loss
     may expire without utilization. The Company has an approximate $3,500,000
     state net operating loss canyforward, which expires at various dates
     beginning in 1998.

     The note payable to the bank includes certain financial covenants and
     certain restrictions, including prohibiting the payment of dividends
     without prior approval of the bank. At January 3, 1998, the Company was in
     violation of certain debt covenants and on April 20, 1998, obtained a
     waiver from the bank. Provisions of the Company's loan agreement with the
     bank require principal and interest payments of approximately $1,200,000
     due May 1,1998. On April 29, 1998, the Company obtained an extension to
     July 1, 1998. The notes payable are collateralized by substantially all of
     the assets of the Company and are guaranteed by the majority shareholder.

     On April 1,1995, the Company sold certain items of its laboratory equipment
     for $159,912. Concurrently, the Company leased the equipment back for a
     period of 48 months at a monthly rental of $4,311. The Company has the
     option to repurchase the equipment at the end of the lease for
     consideration equal to the greater of 10% of the sale price or the fair
     market value of the equipment at that time, as determined by an independent
     appraiser. As a result, the transaction has been recorded as a financing
     transaction rather than as a sale, and the equipment and related accounts
     continue to be recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

7.   STOCK OPTION PLAN

     SLI has a Stock Option Plan (the Plan) providing for options to purchase up
     to 2,000,000 shares of its common stock. The Plan provides for the granting
     of options to qualified employees and consultants of SLI at prices that are
     not less than 85% of the fair market value of the shares as of the date of
     grant. The options become exercisable as specified in the Plan, expire not
     more than ten years from the date of grant, and become exercisable ratably
     over a four-year period (25% per year). No options have been exercised to
     date.

                                                         =========


     At January 3, 1998, outstanding options had a range of exercise prices from
     $.19 to $.75 per share and weighted average contractual life of 8.3 years.
     At January 3, 1998, 310,250 options were exercisable with a weighted
     average exercise price of $.32 per share. At January 3, 1998, 1,025,000
     shares were available for future grants under the plan.

     SFAS No. 123 requires the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings
     per share had the SLI adopted the fair value method as of the beginning of
     fiscal year 1995. Under SFAS No. 123, the fair value of stock-based awards
     to employees is calculated through the use of option-pricing models, even
     though such models were developed to estimate the fair value of freely
     tradable, fully transferable options with vesting restrictions, which
     significantly differ from the SLI's stock option awards. These models also
     require subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and
     expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values.
     SLI's calculations were made using the BlackScholes option-pricing model
     with the following weighted average assumptions: expected life, 48 months
     following complete vesting; stock volatility, 92% in 1997 and 108% in 1996;
     risk-free interest rate, 5.8% in 1997 and 6% in 1996; and no dividends
     during the expected term. SLI's calculations are based on a single-option
     valuation approach, and forfeitures are recognized as they occur. If the
     computed fair values of the 1997 and 1996 awards had been amortized to
     expense over the vesting period of the awards, pro forma net loss of SLI
     would have been $139,599 ($.01 per basic and diluted share) in 1997 and
     $1,697,000 ($.13 per basic and diluted share) in 1996.
