                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


August 31, 1999

(1)  Reference is made to Note 1 of the Notes to Financial Statements contained
     in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May
     31, 1999, for a summary of significant accounting policies utilized by the
     Company.

(2)  The information set forth in these statements is unaudited and may be
     subject to normal year-end adjustments.  The information reflects all
     adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present a
     fair statement of results of operations of Biomerica, Inc., for the periods
     indicated.  It does not include all information and footnotes necessary for
     a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
     flow in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(3)  Results of operations for the interim periods covered by this Report may
     not necessarily be indicative of results of operations for the full fiscal
     year.

(4)  Reference is made to Note 3 of the Notes to Financial Statements contained
     in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended May
     31, 1999, for a description of the investments in affiliates and
     consolidated subsidiaries.

(5)  Reference is made to Notes 5 & 10 of the Notes to Financial Statements
     contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
     ended May 31, 1999, for information on commitments and contingencies.

(6)  Aggregate cost of available-for-sale securities exceeded aggregate market
     value by approximately $6,560 at August 31, 1999.

(7)  Earnings Per Share
     ------------------

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per
     Share ("EPS").  SFAS No. 128 requires dual presentation of basic EPS and
     diluted EPS on the face of all income statements issued after December 15,
     1997 for all entities with complex capital structures.  Basic EPS is
     computed as net income divided by the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential
     dilution that could occur from common shares issuable through stock
     options, warrants and other convertible securities.

(9)  On June 11, 1999, the Company completed two private placement agreements to
     sell and issue a total of 400,000 (50,000 of which were sold to related
     parties) shares of the Company's common stock at $5.00 per share.  The
     Company also issued 8,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for
     services provided.

     On June 11,1999, the company issued 1,200,000 options to purchase shares of
     the Company's stock to employees and non-employees.  The purchase price of
     the options is $3.00 per share.  The options are exercisable for a period
     of ten years.  The Company recorded $58,806 related to the fair value of
     options granted to non-employees.

     One June 11, 1999, the Company issued 1,000,000 stock purchase warrants to
     an unaffiliated entity for consulting and fund raising services
     rendered.  The holders are granted the right to purchase common stock at an
     exercise price of $3.00 per share through the year 2005.  The Company
     valued these warrants at $1,362,880.  Of this, $588,063 was expensed for
     consulting services and $588,063 was recorded as reduction of paid in
     capital.

     On June 11, 1999, the Company entered into a Five Year Back-End Processing
     Agreement with an unaffiliated entity. The unaffiliated entity will develop
     customized back-end processing to enable the Company to process customer
     prescription orders on-line and insurance claims and payments.  In
     addition, the unaffiliated entity transferred and assigned to the Company
     the right, title and interest in and to the internet domain name
     "TheBigRX.com" and all rights to any trademark relating thereto.  The
     Company issued 410,000 stock purchase warrants for these services.  The

                                       10

     of $5.00.  The Company valued these warrants at $333,000 and will be
     expensing them over sixty months.  During the three months ended August
     31, 1999, $16,646 of this was expensed.

     On June 11, 1999, the Company entered into a Five Year Strategic Marketing
     Agreement with TheBigHub.com whereby The BigHub.com will provide strategic
     placement of advertising and marketing for Biomerica's BigRX.com on its
     website.  "TheBigRX.com" and all rights to any trademark relating thereto.
     The Company issued 250,000 stock purchase warrants for these services.  The
     holder is granted the right to purchase common stock at an exercise price
     of $5.00.  The Company valued these warrants at $203,000 and will be
     expensing them over sixty months.  During the quarter ended August 31,
     1999, $10,150 of this was expensed.

     During the three months ended August 31, 1999, the Company recorded
     compensation expense of $3,112 related to the amortization of the fair
     value of options to purchase common stock previously issued.

     Between July 1, 1999 and October 10, 1999, the Company granted 424,000
     options to purchase shares of the Company's stock to employees and non-

     share.

     On June 16, 1999, the Company entered into a Letter of Intent with an
     underwriter with respect to a secondary public offering.  It is anticipated
     the offering will consist of approximately 1,500,000 to 1,700,000 shares of
     the Company's previously unissued common stock.  The offering price per
     share will be subject to market and other conditions at the time of the
     offering.

(10) The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer programs being written to
     recognize two digits rather than four to define the applicable year.  This
     causes computer programs to interpret a date using "00" as the year 1900
     rather than the year 2000, which could result in computer failures and
     miscalculations.  The effects of this issue will vary from system to system
     and may adversely affect an entity's operations and its ability to prepare
     financial statements.  The Company has undertaken certain corrective
     actions to ensure that our hardware and software systems used to manage our
     business are Year 2000 compliant and will continue to function properly in
     the year 2000.  However, there can be no assurance that Year 2000 problems
     will not be encountered or that the costs incurred to resolve such problems
     will not be material.  Additionally, there can be no assurance that the
     Year 2000 problem will not affect the Company by causing disruptions in the
     business operations of persons with whom the Company does business, such as
     customers or suppliers.  Year 2000 problems could have a material adverse
     effect on the Company.

     The Company currently operates a Microsoft-based LAN system upgraded in
     1999.  Biomerica and AIT have upgraded all accounting related hardware,
     the server and the accounting software.  Year 2000 costs to date have been
     immaterial and are not expected to be material in the future.  The
     accounting and record-keeping software that is employed is actively
     supported by the developer vendor and is in wide use.

     Historically the Company has not placed orders electronically, nor does the
     Company make disbursements to vendors or employees in that medium.
     However, the Company anticipates establishing such orders with vendors in
     the future.  The Company has no way of knowing how the Year 2000 may affect
     its various vendors in their ability to ship products or its customers in
     their ability to purchase products.  The Company believes that the Year
     2000 issue will not have a material impact on our internal data records.

                                       11
<PAGE>
     The Company has conducted a vendor and service provider compliance survey
     to determine which of the companies we deal with are addressing the Year
     2000 issue and the progress they are making on it.  No responses received
     by the Company's vendors and/or service providers indicate that their Year
     2000 issues will adversely affect the Company.

     However, if the necessary providers of power, communications and other such
     providers of important services are not fully prepared for the Year 2000,
     the Year 2000 could have a material impact on the Company.  The Company has
     no way of knowing how the Year 2000 will affect Internet functions and if
     Internet functions are interrupted, there could be a material impact on
     the Company.

     AIT outsources its computer needs to Biomerica.  Lancer has upgraded its
     accounting and MRP software for its main frame computer system to be Year
     2000 compliant.  This software is actively supported by the developer.
     Lancer does not anticipate incurring significant additional costs too be
     completely Year 2000 compliant.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA


     The statements in this Report on Form 10-QSB and other statements made by
Biomerica, Inc. that relate to future plans, events or performance are forward-
looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties.  Actual results,
events or performance may differ materially from those anticipated in any
forward-looking statements as a result of a variety of factors, including those
set forth in this Report on Form 10-QSB.

     Operations for the past two years relate to Biomerica's historic
diagnostic, orthodontic and allergy product businesses.  Operations for the
Internet division began after the Company raised $2 million in equity in
June 1999.  Start-up costs for this division are included in administrative
costs.  The Internet division has generated no revenues to date.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Consolidated net sales for Biomerica were $1,824,584 for the first quarter
of fiscal 2000 as compared to $2,156,005 for the same period in the previous
year.  This represents a decrease of $331,421, or 15%.  Of the total
consolidated net sales, $1,271,545 is attributable to Lancer, $24,899 to AIT and
$528,140 to Biomerica.  Lancer sales decreased by $268,757 over the previous
fiscal year primarily due to decreased foreign sales in Europe and South America
attributable to economic conditions and seasonal demand.  Increased discounting
contributed to slightly lower domestic sales at Lancer.    Biomerica sales
decreased by $60,912 primarily due to slower foreign sales.  AIT had a sales
decline of $1,752.

     Cost of sales decreased by $35,502, or 4%.  Lancer's cost of sales as a
percentage of sales increased from 61.1% to 70.9%.  This increase was
attributable to decreased production and capitalization, while costs remained
fixed for the lower volume of sales.  Biomerica's costs increased from 59.4% of
sales to 66.7% due to fixed costs and increased wages and related costs  AIT had
an increase in cost of goods from 85.5% of sales to 93.1% of sales due higher
wages and materials.

     Selling, general and administrative costs increased by $180,482, or 23%.
Lancer had increased selling, general and administrative costs of $14,980 due to
an increase in financial personnel and professional fees.  Biomerica had an
increase of $120,178, which was due to increased payroll and other
expenses related to the BigRx.com division of Biomerica. AIT had an increase of
$45,324 due to increased legal and accounting costs associated with the filing
of AIT's Form 10-SB and Form 10-KSB.

     Non-cash expenses in connection with the issuance of options and warrants
increased by $685,161 to $687,780 which was due to a one-time transaction charge
from the issuance of options and warrants to strategic partners and other
entities as described in Note 9.

     Research and development increased by $17,935, or 16%.  Lancer had an
increase in research and development costs of $24,343 due to the development
costs of an innovative dental amalgam.  Biomerica had decreased costs of $6,258
due to lower wages and related costs.  AIT had a decrease of $150.

                                       13
<PAGE>
     Interest expense increased by $1,726 compared to the previous year due to
higher borrowings at Lancer and an increase in prime rate.  Other income
increased as a result of an insurance claim settlement of $279,672 for the theft
of inventory at Lancer's Mexicali facility, less $110,000 insurance claim
receivable valued at cost.

     Please refer to Note 3 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements in the report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended May 31, 1999, for a
more in-depth discussion of subsidiaries.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   As of August 31, 1999, the Company had cash and available-for-sale securities
in the amount of $3,519,533 and working capital of $6,898,187.  The Company and
its subsidiaries are currently expected to meet their costs of operations
through both collection of trade accounts receivable and its working capital
position.  Lancer is currently able to meet its costs of operations through
collection of trade accounts receivable generated by sales, its working capital
position and existing available financing.  The Company's Internet division will
require raising a significant amount of capital to fund its planned operations
until the business can support itself through its operations.

          At August 31, 1999, Lancer had a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank
of which $180,000 was outstanding at August 31, 1999.  Borrowings are made at
prime plus .75% (9.0% at August 31, 1999) and are limited to specified
percentages of eligible accounts receivable.  The unused portion available under
the line of credit at August 31, 1999 was $182,442.  The line of credit expires
on November 3, 1999.  Lancer is not required to maintain compensating balances
in connection with this borrowing arrangement.

     During the first quarter of fiscal 2000, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $1,722,359 due to the private placement of $2,000,000 in June (see
Note 9).   This was offset by private placement expenses.  Cash flow was also
affected by the purchase of $84,090 of property and equipment, primarily as a
result of purchases related to the BigRx.com at Biomerica.  Cash flow declined
by $112,699 due to payment of accounts payables and other accrued liabilities
and by $122,403 due to an increase in inventories.  Cash flow increased due to
the collection of $100,000 by AIT for consulting services, by $110,000 for the
collection by Lancer of an insurance claim and by $166,325 for decreases in
accounts receivable.

     The Company intends to make significant investments in the Internet
division to complete development of and establish a market for our medication
management oriented online pharmacy and ReadyScript prescription automation
pharmacy. The Company will have to raise additional capital for this operation.
An SB-2 has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for this
purpose.
