NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Presentation

The unaudited pro forma financial statements of Quidel Corporation have been
prepared based on the historical statements of Quidel and of Metra Biosystems,
Inc. for the year ended March 31, 1999, considering the effects of the
acquisition under the purchase method. The pro forma balance sheet of Quidel at
March 31, 1999 has been prepared as if the merger of Metra had been consummated
at March 31, 1999. The pro forma statement of operations for the year ended
March 31, 1999 has been prepared as if the merger had been consummated on April
1, 1998.

In management's opinion, all material adjustments necessary to reflect the
effects of the acquisition have been made. The unaudited pro forma financial
statements are not necessarily indicative of the actual financial position at
March 31, 1999, or what the actual results of operations of Quidel would have
been assuming the acquisition had been completed as of April 1, 1998, nor are
they indicative of the financial position or results of operations for future
periods. The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Quidel and Metra.

2.  Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

              (A) The purchase price for the completion of the Metra acquisition
       was determined by combining the purchase price paid for the Metra common
       stock (12,852,248 fully diluted shares times $1.78 per share) and the
       estimated transactions costs for the acquisition. The estimated direct
       transaction costs to be incurred by the Combined Company include sign-on
       bonuses, transaction fees for investment bankers, attorneys, accountants,
       financial printing and other related charges. The purchase price is
       summarized below (in thousands):

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
         <S>                                           <C>
         Common stock acquired                         $ 22,877
         Estimated transaction costs                      3,500
                                                       --------
                                                       $ 26,377
                                                       --------
                                                       --------
</TABLE>

       The tender offer was financed from cash reserves, proceeds from a
       short-term bank loan and proceeds from a revolving line of credit. The
       short-term bank loan was repaid with the Metra cash acquired.

              (B) Allocation of the purchase price for the completion of the
       Metra acquisition was determined as follows (in thousands):

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
         <S>                                           <C>
         Acquired in-process technology                $    820
         Intangible assets                                1,840
         Net assets acquired                             23,717
                                                       --------
                                                       $ 26,377
                                                       --------
                                                       --------
</TABLE>

              (C) Amortization of the intangible assets for Metra will be on the
       straight-line method over five years and will be included in depreciation
       and amortization expense beginning April 1,1998.

              (D) Elimination of Metra stockholders' equity amounts.

              (E) The pro forma statement of operations excludes the charge of
       $820,000 for purchased in-process technology, which arose from the
       acquisition. These charges will be included in the Combined Company's
       consolidated financial statements for the six-month period ending
       September 30, 1999.

              (F) Elimination of Metra interest income on cash and investments
       of $1,370,000 and interest expense related to the line of credit of
       $160,000.

The purchase price for the Metra acquisition was allocated to the tangible and
intangible assets of Metra based on preliminary estimates of the fair market
value of those assets. The evaluation of the underlying technology acquired


                                        5

considered the inherent difficulties and uncertainties in completing the
development, and thereby achieving technological feasibility, and the risks
related to the viability of and potential changes in future target markets that
the acquired technology has any alternative future uses.
