 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


 (1)  Basis of Presentation-


      The  Notes  to  the   Consolidated   Financial   Statements  of  Molecular
     Biosystems,  Inc. (the  "Company")  were  submitted with the Company's Form
     10-K for the year ended  March 31,  1996 and should be read in  conjunction
     with this Form 10-Q.


      These interim  Consolidated  Financial  Statements of the Company have not
     been audited by independent public accountants.  However, in the opinion of
     the  Company,  all  adjustments  required  for a fair  presentation  of the
     financial position of the Company as of September 30, 1996, and the results
     of its operations  for the three- and six- months ended  September 30, 1995
     and 1996,  and its cash flows for the six-months  ended  September 30, 1995
     and 1996,  have been made.  The  results of  operations  for these  interim
     periods are not  necessarily  indicative of the  operating  results for the
     full year.


      Effective  April 1, 1996,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
     Accounting   Standards  No.  123  ("SFAS"),   Accounting  for   Stock-Based
     Compensation,  which  provides  companies  the option to account for equity
     instrument  awards based on their estimated fair value at the date of grant
     resulting  in a charge to income in the periods the awards are  expected to
     vest. However, companies are permitted to continue to apply APB Opinion No.
     25, which recognizes  compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the
     equity  award.  The Company  will  continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 and
     will present pro forma  footnote  disclosure  describing  the effect to the
     Company's  net income and net  income per share data as  permitted  by SFAS
     123.


 (2)  Shionogi Settlement Agreement-


      In  September  1996,  the Company  announced  that it had entered  into an
     agreement  with  Shionogi & Co.,  Ltd.  ("Shionogi")  pursuant to which the
     Company  reacquired  all  rights  to  manufacture,   market  and  sell  its
     ALBUNEX(R) family of products in the territory, consisting of Japan, Taiwan
     and South Korea, formerly exclusively licensed to Shionogi.  This agreement
     settles an  outstanding  dispute  between the two companies  concerning the
     license and  distribution  agreement  for  ALBUNEX(R)  and  resulted in the
     dismissal of all claims raised by the  companies  against each other in the
     pending arbitration  proceeding.  Under the agreement,  the Company paid $3
     million to  Shionogi  in  September  1996 and will pay an  additional  $5.5
     million as follows:  $2 million in September  1997, $2 million in September
     1998 and $1.5  million in  September  1999.  The  Company is  currently  in
     discussions with potential licensees for Shionogi's territory.

 (3)  Stockholders' Equity-


     On May 30,  1996,  the Company  completed a public  offering of 4.1 million
     shares of Common Stock at $9.00 per share.  Net proceeds from this offering
     (after  deducting  underwriting  discounts  and  commissions  and  offering
     expenses) amounted to approximately $34.1 million.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION


Item 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

         The  following  management  discussion  and analysis  should be read in
conjunction with (1) the current  consolidated  financial statements and (2) the
Company's  consolidated  financial  statements and  management's  discussion and
analysis of financial  condition  and results of operations in its Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996.

         From time to time, the Company may publish  forward-looking  statements
relating  to  such  matters  as  anticipated  financial  performance,   business
prospects,  technological  developments,  new products, research and development
activities and similar matters. The Private Securities  Litigation Reform Act of
1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking  statements.  In order to comply
with the terms of the safe harbor,  the Company  notes that a variety of factors
could cause the Company's  actual  results and  experience to differ  materially
from the anticipated  results or other  expectations  expressed in the Company's
forward-looking  statements.  The risks and  uncertainties  that may  affect the
operations,  performance,  development  and  results of the  Company's  business
include the following:  difficulties  and delays with respect to the performance
of clinical trials; delays by regulatory  authorities;  manufacturing  problems;
difficulties  and delays with respect to  marketing  and sales  activities;  and
general  uncertainties  accompanying  the  development  and  introduction of new
products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         On May 30, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 4.1 million
shares of Common  Stock at $9.00 per  share.  Net  proceeds  from this  offering
(after deducting  underwriting  discounts and commissions and offering expenses)
amounted to approximately $34.1 million.

         At  September  30, 1996,  the Company had net working  capital of $48.7
million  compared to $18.6 million at March 31, 1996.  Cash,  cash  equivalents,
marketable  securities and certificates of deposit pledged were $46.5 million at
September  30, 1996  compared to $23.5  million at March 31, 1996.  For the next
several years, the Company expects to incur substantial additional  expenditures
associated with product  development.  The Company anticipates that its existing
resources,  including  the  proceeds  of the  public  offering  in May  1996 and
interest  thereon,  plus payments under its existing  collaborative  agreements,
will enable the Company to fund its  operations for at least the next two years.
The Company continually reviews its product development  activities in an effort
to allocate its resources to those  products that the Company  believes have the
greatest commercial potential.  Factors considered by the Company in determining
the  products  to pursue may  include,  but are not  limited  to, the  projected
markets, potential for regulatory approval,  technical feasibility and estimated
costs to bring the product to the market.  Based upon these factors, the Company
may from time to time  reallocate  its resources  among its product  development
activities.  The  Company  may pursue a number of  options  to raise  additional
funds,  including  borrowings;  lease arrangements;  collaborative  research and
development arrangements with pharmaceutical companies; the licensing of product
rights to third parties; or additional public and private financing,  as capital
requirements  change as a result of strategic,  competitive,  technological  and
regulatory factors. There can be no assurance that funds from these sources will
be available on favorable terms, if at all.

         In September  1996,  the Company  announced that it had entered into an
agreement with Shionogi  pursuant to which the Company  reacquired all rights to
manufacture, market and sell its ALBUNEX(R) family of products in the territory,
consisting of Japan, Taiwan and South Korea,  formerly  exclusively  licensed to
Shionogi.  This  agreement  settled  an  outstanding  dispute  between  the  two
companies  concerning the license and distribution  agreement for ALBUNEX(R) and
resulted in the  dismissal of all claims  raised by the  companies  against each
other in the pending arbitration  proceeding.  Under the agreement,  the Company
paid $3 million to Shionogi  and will pay an  additional  $5.5  million over the
next three years.  The Company is currently in  discussions  with potential
licensees for  Shionogi's  territory.  As a result,  included in current  assets
under license rights is $8.5 million which  represents  the Company's  rights in
the former Shionogi territory.  Also included under license rights is $3 million
related to the Company's  reacquisition  of the European  territory rights from
Nycomed  Imaging AS  ("Nycomed").  The Company  believes  that future  licensing
agreements  for each of  these  territories  will be in  excess  of the  amounts
recorded as assets.

Results of  Operations

         Revenues Under Collaborative  Agreements.  Revenues under collaborative
agreements  were $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the three-month and six-month
periods ended  September 30, 1996,  compared to $87,000 and $399,000 for both of
the same periods in the prior year.  These  revenues in the current year consist
solely of quarterly payments to support clinical trials,  regulatory submissions
and product development received from Mallinckrodt Medical Inc. ("Mallinckrodt")
under the  Company's  amended  agreement  with  Mallinckrodt  which the  Company
entered into in September  1995.  The prior year  revenue is  attributable  to a
bonus paid by Mallinckrodt  under the original license  agreement  equivalent to
Mallinckrodt's  first year product sales of ALBUNEX(R) at its sales price to end
users of the product.

         Product  Revenues.  Product revenues are based upon the Company's sales
to  Mallinckrodt  and Shionogi and are recognized  upon shipment of the product.
The transfer prices for the Company's  sales of ALBUNEX(R) to  Mallinckrodt  and
Shionogi are determined under the Company's respective  agreements with them and
are  equal to 40% of  Mallinckrodt's  net  sales  price to its end  users of the
product and 30% of Shionogi's net sales price to its end users. Product revenues
were  $32,000 and $210,000  for the  three-month  and  six-month  periods  ended
September  30,  1996,  compared to $246,000 and $274,000 for the same periods in
the prior year.

         Costs of Products Sold.  Cost of products sold totaled $1.3 million and
$2.6 million for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 1996,
resulting in a negative gross profit  margin.  This negative gross profit margin
was due to the fact that the current low levels of production  are  insufficient
to cover the  Company's  fixed  manufacturing  overhead  expenses.  For the same
periods in the prior year, cost of products sold totaled  $618,000 and $724,000,
respectively.   In  the  prior  year,  certain  expenses   associated  with  the
manufacturing of the product had been recorded as research and development costs
as they represented the cost of developing the Company's  manufacturing process.
Because the Company has left the pilot manufacturing  phase, these costs are now
classified  as cost of goods sold.  The Company  anticipates  an increase in its
gross profit margins if and when  ALBUNEX(R)  sales volume  increases and if and
when FS069, the Company's second generation  ultrasound imaging agent,  receives
regulatory  approval and obtains market  acceptance.  Thus  permitting the fixed
costs included in manufacturing overhead to be allocated over a larger number of
vials  produced.  The amount of any increase in the Company's  margins,  and the
time required by the Company to achieve higher margins,  are highly dependent on
the market acceptance of ALBUNEX(R) and FS069 and are therefore uncertain.

         Research and  Development  Costs.  For the  three-month  and  six-month
periods ended September 30, 1996, the Company's  research and development  costs
totaled  $2.3  million and $4.9  million,  as compared to $3.4  million and $6.6
million for the same periods in 1995. This current decrease of 25% is due to the
fact that the Company is no longer  incurring  significant  costs related to the
development of its manufacturing process as in prior years.

         Selling,  General and Administrative  Expenses. For the three-month and
six-month periods ended September 30, 1996, the Company's  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  totaled $1.8 million and $3.6 million,  as compared to
$1.5 million and $3.1 million for the same period in 1995.  This increase in the
current  year  is  attributable  in  part  to  legal  expenses  related  to  the
arbitration with Shionogi.  See discussion under "Prospective  Information." The
increase is also attributable to increased compensation costs.

         Interest  Expense  and  Interest  Income.   Interest  expense  for  the
three-month and six-month  periods ended September 30, 1996 amounted to $214,000
and $413,000,  respectively, and consisted of mortgage interest on the Company's
manufacturing building and interest on a second note payable which is secured by
the tangible assets of the Company.  The interest rate on the mortgage was 8% in
September 1996. Interest expense for the same periods in the prior year amounted
to  $198,000  and  $401,000  and  included  interest  on a loan that the Company
obtained in May 1994 to finance the  purchase of two  unimproved  buildings  and
underlying land in December 1993. In March 1996,  after the buildings were sold,
the loan was restructured  into the second note payable  mentioned above, in the
amount of $6.0 million,  which bears interest at prime plus 1% and is payable in
monthly  installments  of principal plus interest over five years.  The interest
rate on the note was 9.25% in September 1996.

         The  increase in interest  income in the current  year is due to higher
average  cash and  marketable  securities  balances  as a result  of the  public
offering in May 1996 as discussed above.

         The Company's cash is invested primarily in short-term, fixed principal
investments,   such  as  U.S.   Government   agency  issues,   corporate  bonds,
certificates of deposit and commercial paper.

Prospective Information

         In October 1996, the Company filed a pre-marketing approval application
with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration  ("FDA") for FS069. FS069 is designed
to enhance ultrasound imaging by enabling physicians to visualize blood flow and
enhance  resolution of anatomical  structures in those patients with  suboptimal
non-contrast  ultrasound  exams.  This submission  involved  studies for cardiac
function focusing on enhancing  endocardial  border  delineation and secondarily
determining the ability of the agent to opacify the left ventricular chamber.

     In  September  1995,  the  Company  entered  into an amended  and  restated
distribution  agreement  with  Mallinckrodt  which will provide the company with
between $33 million  and $47.5  million.  This  amended  distribution  agreement
modifies the original December 1988  distribution  agreement between the Company
and  Mallinckrodt  in a number of  respects.  Under the amended  agreement,  the
geographical  scope of  Mallinckrodt's  exclusive  right to market the Company's
proprietary  contrast  agent  for  transpulmonary  cardiac  ultrasound  imaging,
ALBUNEX(R),  the Company's  second  generation  ultrasound  contrast agent,  and
related products was expanded to include all of the countries of the world other
than  those  covered by the  Company's  license  agreements  with  Shionogi  and
Nycomed.  The duration of Mallinckrodt's  exclusive right was also extended from
October  1999 until the later of July 1, 2003 or three years after the date that
Company  obtains  approval  from  the FDA to  market  FS069  for an  intravenous
myocardial perfusion indication (use).

         Under the terms of the agreement, Mallinckrodt will pay the Company $20
million over four years to support clinical trials of FS069,  related regulatory
submissions and associated product  development.  These payments will be made in
16 quarterly  installments  starting at $1 million for the first four  quarters,
$1.25  million for the following  eight  quarters and $1.5 million for the final
four  quarters.  The first five  quarterly  payments  have been  received by the
Company.

         The amended  distribution  agreement  requires  the Company to spend at
least $10 million of this $20 million on clinical  trials to support  regulatory
filings  with the FDA for cardiac  indications  of FS069.  After the Company has
spent this $10 million, the amended distribution  agreement requires the Company
and Mallinckrodt to share equally in the cost of any additional  clinical trials
of FS069 in the United States, up to a maximum total of $5 million ($2.5 million
each).

         The  Company's  expenditure  of  this  $10  million  will  be  made  in
accordance  with the directions of a joint steering  committee which the Company
and Mallinckrodt established in order to expedite the development and regulatory
approval of FS069 by enabling the parties to share their  expertise  relating to
clinical  trials  and  the  regulatory   approval   process.   The  Company  and
Mallinckrodt  each  appoint  two of the  four  members  of  the  joint  steering
committee.

         The amended distribution agreement also provides for potential payments
to the Company of up to $12 million upon the satisfaction of certain milestones.
There can be no assurance,  however, that all or any of these milestones will be
satisfied.

         In addition,  the amended distribution agreement grants the Company the
option (at its own  discretion) to repurchase all of the shares of the Company's
common stock that Mallinckrodt  purchased under the investment agreement for $45
million,  subject to  various  price  adjustments.  This  option is  exercisable
beginning  the  later of July 1,  2000 or the  date  that  the  Company  obtains
approval from the FDA to market FS069 for an  intravenous  myocardial  perfusion
indication  and ending on the later of June 30,  2003 or three  years  after the
date that the  Company  obtains  approval  from the FDA to  market  FS069 for an
intravenous  myocardial  perfusion.  If the Company  exercises this option,  the
Company  may  co-market  ALBUNEX(R),  FS069 and  related  products in all of the
countries covered by the amended distribution agreement.

         In connection with the amended distribution agreement, the Company also
entered  into  an  investment  agreement  whereby  the  Company  sold  1,118,761
unregistered  shares of its common stock to Mallinckrodt  for $13 million,  or a
price of $11.62 per share before related costs.

         In October  1995,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  whereby it
reacquired all rights to INFOSON(R) (the European  designation for  ALBUNEX(R)),
FS069 and related  products  from  Nycomed,  the  Company's  European  licensee.
Nycomed had received  approval to market  INFOSON(R) in Sweden,  Finland and the
United Kingdom and had filed  applications in several other European  countries,
but had not yet begun to market the  product  when the  Company  reacquired  the
product rights.  The Company is currently in discussions with another  potential
licensee for Nycomed's territory,  which includes Europe,  Africa, parts of Asia
and India.
