              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               SEPTEMBER 30, 1996



NOTE - A - ORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION

Viragen, Inc. and subsidiaries have been engaged in the research, development
and manufacture of certain immunological products for commercial application.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viragen, Inc., and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Vira-Tech, Inc., Viragen USA, Inc., and Viragen
Technology, Inc., and its majority owned subsidiaries Viragen (Europe) Ltd.,
including its wholly-owned subsidiary, Viragen (Scotland) Ltd., collectively
known as the Company.  All material intercompany accounts and transactions have
been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal 1996 Financial Statements
to conform to the September 30, 1996 interim presentation.

NOTE - B - INTERIM ADJUSTMENTS AND USE OF ESTIMATES

The financial summaries for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
September 30, 1995 include, in the opinion of management of the Company, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, considered necessary for a
fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for
these periods.

Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire year
ending June 30, 1997.

While the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make
the information not misleading, it is suggested that these Consolidated
Condensed Financial Statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Company's latest annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended June 30, 1996.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from these estimates.


NOTE C - CAPITAL STOCK

The statements contained in this Report on Form 10-Q that are not purely
historical are forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of
1934, including statements regarding the Company's expectations, hopes,
intentions, beliefs, or strategies regarding the future.  Forward looking
statements include the Company's statements regarding liquidity, anticipated
cash needs and availability, and anticipated expense levels in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
including expected product clinical trial introductions, expected research and
development expenditures, new facility completion data and related anticipated
costs.  All forward looking statements included in this document are based on
information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes
no obligation to update any such forward looking statement.  It is important to
note that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in
such forward looking statements.  Among the factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially are the factors detailed below and the risks
discussed in the "Risk Factors" section included in the Company's Registration
Statement Form SB-2, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(effective on August 14, 1995 with related Post-Effective Amendment effective
May 30, 1996).  You should also consult the risk factors listed from time to
time in the Company's Reports on Form 10-Q, 8-K, 10-K and Annual Reports to the
Stockholders.

The biopharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and subject to rapid
technological change.  Significant competitive factors in the pharmaceutical and
biopharmaceutical markets include product efficacy, price and timing of new
product introductions.  Increased competition from existing biopharmaceutical
companies as well as the entry into the market of new competitors could
adversely affect the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

The Company's future success depends in part upon its intellectual property,
including patents, trade secrets, know-how and continuing technology innovation.
There can be no assurance that the steps taken by the Company to protect its
intellectual property will be adequate to prevent misappropriation or that
others will not develop competitive technologies or products.  There can be no
assurance that any patent owned by the Company will not be invalidated,
circumvented or challenged, that the rights granted thereunder will provide
competitive advantages to the Company or that any of the Company's future patent
applications will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by the Company,
if at all.  Furthermore, there can be no assurance that others will not develop
technologies that are similar or superior to the Company's technology, duplicate
the Company's technology or design around the patents, if any, owned by the
Company.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has incurred operational losses and operated with a negative cash
flow since its inception in December, 1980.  Losses totaled $854,241 and
$935,549 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and September 30,
1995, respectively.

Working capital totaled approximately $17,776,000 at September 30, 1996, a
decrease of $490,000 from the year end balance.  This decrease was primarily
attributed to operation losses of $854,241 being offset by the exercise of
Common Stock Purchase Warrants of the Company and its majority owned subsidiary,
Viragen (Europe) Ltd.

                CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - CONTINUED

In June 1996, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the
"Agreement") with GFL Performance Ltd., GFL Advantage Fund Ltd. and Proton
Global Asset Management, LDC (collectively the "Purchaser") pursuant to which
the Purchaser acquired 15,000 shares of the Company's then newly established 5%
Cumulative Convertible Preferred Rock, Series B ("the Series B Preferred Stock")
for $15,000,000.  The sale of the Series B Preferred Stock represented the
completion of the first stage of a $50 million financing commitment.  The
Company anticipates completing the balance of the financings, with the initial
investors or other investor groups, subject to market and other conditions,
representing an additional $20 million prior to December 31, 1996 and $15
million prior to April 30, 1997.

Under the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Purchaser is entitled to
receive a cash dividend equal to 5% of the stated value of the Series B
Preferred Stock payable quarterly commencing September 7, 1996, although the
Company has the option to utilize shares of its Common Stock, under certain
conditions, to satisfy the dividend requirement.  The Purchaser has the right to
convert the Series B preferred Stock commencing August 21, 1996 into shares of
Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the lesser of 85% of
the average market price for the Company's Common Stock, as described in the
Agreement, prior to the conversion date or $8.74.  The Company also has a right
to require the Purchaser, under certain terms and conditions, to convert the
Series B Preferred Stock commencing 180 days following the effective date of a
Registration Statement registering the resale of the shares of Common Stock of
the Company underlying the Series B Preferred Stock.  The Series B Preferred
Stock does not carry any voting rights except as required under the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

In September 1995, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan Reorganization
("Agreement") with Sector Associated, Ltd. ("Sector").  Under the terms of the
Agreement, the Company acquired a 94% interest in Sector in a reverse
acquisition transaction.  Sector was a publicly traded corporation which
contained net cash assets of $800,000 at the transaction closing date. This
transaction closed on December 8, 1995.

In March 1996, Sector completed two Private Placement Offerings, issuing 768,000
shares of its Common Stock and 216,500 Common Stock purchase Warrants having an
exercise price of $12.00 per share.  These two Offerings yielded net proceeds of
approximately $5,102,000 after related expenses of $317,500.  The company is
using these proceeds to undertake European research clinical trial activities
including the related establishment of a laboratory and manufacturing facility
in Edinburgh Scotland, currently under construction, the purchase of laboratory
equipment and related working capital.  On May 2, 1996, Sector changed its name
to Viragen (Europe) Ltd.

The construction and equiping of the Company's Scottish laboratory and
production facility is expected to be completed during the first quarter of
calendar 1997.  Estimated costs to complete the facilities, including equipment,
total approximately $3,700,000.

While subject to significant limitation, the Company at September 30, 1996 has
available net tax operating loss carryforwards of approximately $19,000,000
expiring between 1996 and 2010, which may be used to offset taxable income, if
any, during those periods.

Management believes that the Company's Omniferon product currently under
development can be manufactured in significant quantity and will be priced at a
level to offer patients an attractive alternative treatment to the Synthetic
Interferons currently being marketed.  Management further believes that working
capital currently on hand will provide the Company with the funds necessary for
the foreseeable future to continue its current level of operations, focused on
current research projects, the establishment of a research and manufacturing
facility in Scotland and the commencement of EU clinical trials.  In addition,
the Company expects to be able to draw upon its remaining $35 million in
financing available through the issuance of additional 5% Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock by April 1997 under its June Agreement or similar amounts from
other investor groups during the same period.  The additional funding raised
will be used to supplement funding of EU clinical trials as needed, commence
clinical trial studies in the U.S. of its Omniferon product, the establishment
of one or more domestic production facilities, the possible acquisition of one
or more business complimentary to the Company's operations and for general
working capital.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the past several years, the Company's limited revenues have been derived
from the sales of the Company's Alpha Leukoferon(TM) product ("Product") through
Florida physicians (primarily Neurologists) for the treatment of Multiple
Sclerosis.  Distribution of the Company's Product was limited to the State of
Florida and was sanctioned by, and subject to, the provisions of Florida Statute
499.018.  This statute permitted controlled distribution of the Product in a
clinical trial environment only within the State. Commercialization of products
under this statute is not permitted. In an Agreement reached with the State of
Florida, the Company in March 1996, discontinued enrollment of new patients in
its 499 program, and all revenues under this program ceased in March 1996.

Following the final shipments of Product under 499 Program in March 1996, the
Company has no approved source of sales revenue until it receives the necessary
regulatory approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and/or
comparable European Union authorities.  Such approvals cannot be assured and are
subject to successful completion of lengthy clinical trials and the Company's
ability to raise significant additional capital to fund such trials.

Losses from operations have been incurred since inception and totaled $854,241
and $935,549 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995,
respectively.

No sales revenues or cost of sales were recorded during the quarter ending
September 30, 1996 with sales revenues of $104,225 being recorded during the
same period of the previous year.  The termination of the revenues was due to
patients previously enrolled under the 499 Program completing their course of
treatment coupled with the discontinuance of new enrollments as discussed above.

Research and development costs totaled $427,085 and $287,284 for the three month
periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  This sharp increase
was attributed to expanded research efforts associated with the Company's newly
developed Natural Interferon (alpha) product Omniferon(TM). These costs are
expected to continue to significantly increase at least through fiscal 1997. The
Company intends to continue its process development refinement efforts and work
towards regulatory submissions in the EU to conduct clinical trials on the
Company's Omniferon(TM) product.  The expanded research efforts are focused on
improved methods of manufacturing aimed at maintaining or improving product
quality, production yields and manufacturing efficiencies. Components of the
overall increase between the periods of $139,800 include increase of laboratory
supplies expense of approximately $91,000 and the hiring of additional research
personnel with salaries and related taxes and benefits. The increases also
reflect an increase in consulting fees, travel and equipment rentals associated
with the overall increases in the level of research activities.

Selling and general administration expenses totaled $617,434 for the first three
months of fiscal 1997 compared to $440,560 for the same period of the preceding
year.  Components of this increase included administrative salaries with related
taxes and benefits of approximately $132,000.  Additionally, the quarter ended
September 30, 1996 reflected an increase in accounting and legal expenses of
approximately $30,000.  Also, the fiscal 1997 figures reflect increased travel
associated with the planning and establishment of the European production
facility with related corporate development efforts.
