                DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 has not been
audited by independent accountants, but includes all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to a fair statement of the results for such periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures included in
these financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
1994 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The results of operations for the three-month period ending March 31, 1995 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Net income per share - primary is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, including stock options when dilutive.  Net income
per share - fully diluted is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options,
including the effect of contingent options.

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

Record sales of $39.2 million were achieved in the first quarter 1995, a 41%
increase over the first quarter 1994. The sales increases are principally a
result of the continuing increased worldwide acceptance of the fully automated,
random access IMMULITE system. The system is expected to account for the
greatest amount of growth of all the Company's product lines for the foreseeable
future. In periods when the U.S. dollar is weakening, the effect of translation 
of the financial statements of the consolidated foreign affiliates is that of 
higher sales, costs and net income. The weaker U.S. dollar in the first 
quarter 1995 when compared to the first quarter 1994 resulted in increased 
sales of approximately 8% and increased net income of approximately 5%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 44% as compared to 43%  in the
corresponding 1994 quarter. The 44% in the 1995 quarter was an improvement from
the 46% reported in the fourth quarter 1994 principally resulting from
increased utilization at the Wales manufacturing facility and at the New Jersey
IMMULITE instrument manufacturing facility.

Selling expenditures increased 18% in the 1995 quarter compared to the 1994
quarter representing 17% of sales in 1995 and 20% of sales in 1994.  These
increased costs are a result of the continual expansion of the marketing and
sales effort, especially for the IMMULITE system.

Research and development expenditures increased 18% in 1995 over 1994. These
expenditures have increased to support the IMMULITE system.

General and administrative costs were about 11% of sales in both 1995 and 1994.
Included in general and administrative expenses is the amortization of the
excess of cost over net assets acquired.

Equity in income of affiliates, which decreased 30% in the 1995 first quarter
compared to the 1994 quarter, represents the Company's share of earnings of
nonconsolidated affiliates, principally the 45%-owned Italian affiliate.
Profitability in Italy continued to be adversely effected by reduced sales
caused by the current serious economic problems and reductions in health care
cost reimbursements.

The Company's effective tax rate includes Federal, state and foreign taxes. The
1995 rate of 27% approximates the 1994 rate of 26%.

The Company has adequate working capital and sources of capital to carry on its
current business and to meet its existing capital requirements.  Cash flow from
operating activities was $3.4 million in the first quarter 1995 compared to
$2.8 million in the 1994 quarter.

During 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, the Company paid a quarterly cash
dividend of $.10 per share. Commencing with the second quarter of 1995, the
quarterly dividend will be increased to $.12 per share. In the 1994 first
quarter, the Company repurchased 129,200 shares of its Common Stock in the open
market at a cost of $2,429,000.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS AND ITEM 5.  OTHER INFORMATION.

The Company has a supply contract with Lumigen, Inc. for chemical compounds
which are key components in the IMMULITE system. For several years Lumigen was
involved in multiple legal proceedings both domestically and internationally
with Tropix, Inc., which challenged Lumigen's patent and other rights to these
compounds and other technology. Effective as of February 9, 1995, the parties
involved in this litigation and the Company entered into various agreements to
resolve their disputes and to set forth various supply and other arrangements
relating to the technology. Pursuant to the agreements, the Company has the
right for ten years to purchase the chemical compounds currently in use from
Lumigen or, in certain circumstances, from Tropix. The Company has guaranteed
Lumigen's minimum payment obligations to Tropix in the amount of $1,000,000 in
each of 1995 and 1996 and $600,000 in each of the next eight years, and Tropix
has agreed not to sue the Company or its customers for their sale or use of
certain technology for a period of ten years. Tropix also agreed to supply the
Company with certain other chemical compounds for use in veterinary kits for
ten years.

Pursuant to an agreement between Lumigen and the Company, Lumigen has agreed to
reimburse the Company for any amounts the Company may be required to pay Tropix
under its guaranty. To secure such agreement, in certain events Lumigen will be
required to grant the Company a security interest in all of its assets.
Furthermore, the Company will from time to time deposit into an escrow account
certain of the payments it owes Lumigen under their supply contract and such
escrow proceeds will be used to pay Lumigen's obligations to Tropix. The
Company has also purchased an 8% equity interest in Lumigen.
