                      (A Company in the Development Stage)
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

(1)   Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

         The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared  by the  Company  without  audit.  In the  opinion of  management,  all
adjustments  (consisting of normal recurring  adjustments)  necessary to present
fairly the financial  position,  results of operations  and cash flows as of the
dates and for the periods presented herein have been made.

         Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles  have been  condensed  or  omitted  pursuant  to the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission rules and regulations.  It is suggested that these condensed
consolidated  financial  statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's  December 31,
1996 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1997,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  operating
results that may result for the year ending  December 31, 1997.  The  accounting
policies  followed  by the  Company  are set  forth  in Note 1 to the  Company's
consolidated financial statements in its December 31, 1996 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

(2)   Net Loss Per Common Share

         Net loss per common  share is based on the weighted  average  number of
common shares outstanding. Stock options, warrants and preferred shares prior to
conversion are not included in the calculation  because their inclusion would be
antidilutive, thereby reducing the net loss per common share.

(3)   License Agreement

         In May 1997,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  (the  "License
Agreement")  with  Becton,  Dickinson  and Company  ("BD")  relating to a single
application  (the  "Technology")  of the  Company's  ExtreSafe(R)  safety needle
withdrawal technology. Pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement, BD paid a
$1,750,000  to the  Company in June 1997,  and is  required  to make  additional
payments of $250,000 in October 1997 and $2,000,000 upon the earlier of the date
of the first sales by BD of a product utilizing the Technology or April 5, 1998.
Of these total payments,  $3,750,000  represents prepaid  royalties.  BD is also
required to pay  ongoing  royalties  to the  Company  based on sales of products
utilizing the Technology. In addition, beginning in BD's fiscal year 2002, BD is
required to pay minimum  royalties in order to maintain  exclusive  rights under
the License Agreement.

(4)   Quantum Imaging Corporation

                   The Company and Zerbec, Inc. ("Zerbec"),  as joint venturers,
formed Quantum  Imaging  Corporation  ("Quantum") to develop,  manufacture,  and
market an improved filmless  digitized imaging system.  Pursuant to the terms of
the joint venture agreement,  until and unless at least $3,000,000 in funding is
raised,  Zerbec has the right to acquire two-thirds of SHP's interest in Quantum
for one dollar (the  "Zerbec  Option").  SHP is trying to negotiate an agreement
with Zerbec  whereby SHP can acquire  Zerbec's  interest in Quantum (the "Zerbec
Acquisition")  or an  extension  of the date on which the  Zerbec  Option can be
exercised.  There can be no  assurance  that SHP will be able to  negotiate,  on
terms  acceptable  or  favorable  to SHP,  an  agreement  relating to the Zerbec
Acquisition  or an  extension  of the date on which  the  Zerbec  Option  can be
exercised.  As a result,  SHP's ownership  interest in Quantum may decrease as a
result of its  inability  to reach an  agreement  with  Zerbec or from  dilution
resulting from new  financing.  The Company does not view Quantum as an integral
aspect of its business plan.

         The Company filed a Form S-3 registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange  Commission  ("SEC") to register the resale of 12,489,106 shares of
common stock. The SEC declared the filing effective on May 6, 1997.

(6)   Subsequent Events

         The  offering  wherein  the  Company  was  seeking to raise  funds in a
private  placement  (the "Private  Placement")  with the  assistance of a broker
dealer expired in July without  completion.  The Company is presently  exploring
alternative sources of funding.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations.

         The  following  discussion  and  analysis  provides  information  which
management  believes is  relevant  to an  assessment  and  understanding  of the
Company's  consolidated  results of  operations  and  financial  condition.  The
discussion  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  condensed  consolidated
financial statements,  related notes and Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial  Condition and Results of Operations  for the year ended  December 31,
1996.  Wherever in this  discussion  the term  "Company"  is used,  it should be
understood to refer to Specialized Health Products International,  Inc. ("SHPI")
and Specialized Health Products, Inc., its subsidiary, ("SHP") on a consolidated
basis, except where the context clearly indicates  otherwise.  Prior to the July
1995 acquisition  wherein SHP became a wholly owned subsidiary of SHPI, SHPI had
no operations.

Overview

         The Company is a development  stage company and, since  inception,  has
incurred losses from operations. As of June 30, 1997, the Company had cumulative
net losses totaling $10,074,992. To date, the Company's principal focus has been
the design, development,  testing, and evaluation of its Safety Cradle(R) sharps
container,  ExtreSafe(TM) Lancet Strip,  ExtreSafe(TM) medical needle withdrawal
technology,  intravenous flow gauge, blood collection device, filmless digitized
imaging technology,  and other products, and the design and development of molds
and production processes.

Financial Position

         The  Company  had  $1,487,829  in  cash  as  of  June  30,  1997.  This
represented an increase of $1,235,135 from December 31, 1996. Working capital as
of June 30, 1997, increased to $1,232,905 as compared to $30,754 at December 31,
1996.  These  increases  were  largely  due to the  receipt of net  proceeds  of
$1,539,570  from the  completion  of a private  placement of  securities  by the
Company that closed on March 31, 1997, and the receipt of $1,750,000 in advanced
royalties from BD.

Results of Operations

         During the three and six months  ended June 30,  1997,  the Company had
net sales of $123,682  and  $163,160,  respectively,  compared  with $53,746 and
$70,367 for the comparable periods from the prior year. Substantially all of the
sales during these periods related to the Company's sharps containers.

         On August 26, 1996, the Company entered into an exclusive  distribution
agreement  (the  "Distribution  Agreement")  with BD relating  to the  Company's
Safety Cradle(R) sharps container products. The Distribution Agreement grants BD
an exclusive  world-wide  right to market and  distribute  the Company's  Safety
Cradle(R)  sharps container  products for an initial term of three years,  which
term may be extended  by BD  annually  thereafter  subject to  negotiation  with
respect to price and other terms.  The commencement of sales of Safety Cradle(R)
sharps  container  products  was  delayed  because  the  Distribution  Agreement
required  that the  Company  receive a new 510(k)  Notification  relating to its
Safety Cradle(R) sharps container  products,  make certain  modifications to the
containers, and that the Company's manufacturer meet certain BD standards before
sales could begin (collectively,  the "BD Modifications").  The BD Modifications
were completed,  BD introduced the Company's  Safety  Cradle(R) sharps container
products to its sales force in  December  1996 and product  sales began in March
1997.  Promotional  activities relating to the Company's Safety Cradle(R) sharps
container products were started by BD in late May 1997.

         The  Distribution  Agreement  provides that  container  products may be
sold, at BD's option,  either under the Company's name or under BD's label.  The
products will,  however,  be imprinted with the Company's product name in either
case.  The  selling  price  of the  container  products  sold  to BD  under  the


                                       8
<PAGE>

Distribution  Agreement can be adjusted under certain  circumstances for changes
in raw material  costs during the initial  term of the  Distribution  Agreement.
Except as set forth below, the Company is not required to distribute any future,
unrelated products through BD.

         Entering into the Distribution  Agreement created certain risks for the
Company.  These include, among other things: (i) reliance on BD for sales of the
products,  and therefore  reliance on BD's marketing  ability,  marketing plans,
credit-worthiness  and selling  efforts;  (ii)  because the  products  are being
marketed under BD's label,  any goodwill  associated with the products may inure
to the benefit of BD rather than the Company; (iii) the Company has only limited
protection from changes in  manufacturing  costs (other than with respect to raw
materials costs) during the initial term of the Distribution Agreement; and (iv)
if the Company is reliant on BD for all or  substantially  all of its  container
sales, the Company's ability to effectively negotiate with BD concerning pricing
or other terms in  connection  with any possible  extension of the  Distribution
Agreement may be limited.

         The  ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet  Strip is being  assembled  manually  by the
Company until automated  production equipment is put in place in the second half
of 1997. When the automated equipment becomes available,  the Company expects to
have it installed at the site of an independent  third-party  manufacturer  that
will manufacture the ExtreSafe(TM) Lancet Strip under contract with the Company.
Due to the costs of  manual  assembly,  the  Company  does not  expect to make a
profit  on  sales  of  the  ExtreSafe(TM)   Lancet  Strip  until  production  is
transferred to the automated  equipment.  The automated  production equipment is
expected to reduce the cost to manufacture  the  ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet Strip and
increase manufacturing capacity.

         The Company has entered into one distribution agreement relating to the
ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet  Strip and is  seeking  additional  parties  to market and
distribute  the  product.  Unless  and until the  Company  is able to enter into
additional  distribution  arrangements,  the Company is attempting to market and
sell the ExtreSafe(TM) Lancet Strips with its own limited resources. The Company
expects sales of the  ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet Strip to be small at least until the
automated  production  equipment is  completed.  There is no assurance  that the
Company will enter into any other arrangements with respect to the marketing and
distribution of ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet Strips or that the Company's own marketing
and sales efforts will be effective.

         In May 1997,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  (the  "License
Agreement") with BD relating to a single  application (the  "Technology") of the
Company's  ExtreSafe(TM)  safety needle withdrawal  technology.  Pursuant to the
terms of the License  Agreement,  BD made a  $1,750,000  million  payment to the
Company in June 1997, and is required to make additional payments of $250,000 in
October 1997 and  $2,000,000  upon the earlier of the date of the first sales by
BD of a product  utilizing  the  Technology  or April 5,  1998.  Of these  total
payments,  $3,750,000 million represents advanced royalties. BD is also required
to pay ongoing royalties to the Company based on sales of products utilizing the
Technology.  In addition,  beginning in BD's fiscal year 2002, BD is required to
pay minimum  royalties in order to maintain  exclusive  rights under the License
Agreement.

         Entering  into the  License  Agreement  created  certain  risks for the
Company.  These include, among other things: (i) reliance on BD for sales of the
products,  and therefore  reliance on BD's marketing  ability,  marketing plans,
credit-worthiness and selling efforts; and (ii) any goodwill associated with the
products may inure to the benefit of BD rather than the Company.

         Research and  development  ("R&D")  expenses were $293,227 and $592,511
for the three and six months ended June 30,  1997,  compared  with  $307,295 and
$627,178 for the  comparable  periods  from the prior year.  The  Company's  R&D
efforts in the six month period ended June 30, 1997, focused on completing final
development of the ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet Strip,  development relating to several
products utilizing the ExtreSafe(TM) medical needle withdrawal  technology,  and
development  work  on the  filmless  digitized  imaging  technology  (which  was
performed by Quantum Imaging Corporation,  but which was funded by the Company).
The  Company's  efforts in the six months ended June 30,  1996,  were focused on
refining  the  design  of  production  molds  for its  Safety  Cradle(R)  sharps

                                       9
<PAGE>

container  products,  on the design and development of its ExtreSafe(TM)  Lancet
Strip, on initial  development of its  ExtreSafe(TM)  medical needle  withdrawal
technology  and  funding  development  work on the  filmless  digitized  imaging
technology.

         If the Company had had adequate funding,  R&D expenditures during these
periods would have been greater than they  actually  were.  Funding  constraints
also set back the  anticipated  dates on  which  the  Company's  products  under
development  will be brought to market.  In addition,  R&D  expenditures for the
three months ended June 30, 1997,  were less than R&D  expenditures  for each of
the three month  periods ended June 30, 1996,  September 30, 1996,  December 31,
1996  and  March  31,  1997.  Further  reductions  in R&D  expenditures  are not
anticipated  unless  funding  constraints  require  the  Company  to  make  such
reductions.  Reductions in R&D expenditures would comprise primarily  reductions
in R&D staff.  Such staff  reductions  could have a material  adverse  effect on
product  development and on the Company.  Management does not intend to downsize
unless liquidity concerns force the Company to do so.

         Selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses  were  $929,479  and
$1,578,793  for the three and six months  ended  June 30,  1997,  compared  with
$645,190 and  $1,108,939  for the  comparable  periods from the prior year.  The
$280,165  increase  between  the  first and  second  quarters  of 1997  resulted
primarily from increases in product promotional  expenses and patent expenses as
well as increases in costs relating to legal,  accounting and financial advisory
services.  The  increases  in  expenditures  between  the 1997 and 1996  periods
resulted  primarily  from an  increased  number of  employees,  amounts  paid to
financial  advisors and public  relations  firms,  and  underwriting,  legal and
accounting fees incurred connection with private placement activities.

         The Company does not expect that  selling,  general and  administrative
expenses  will be reduced below current  levels  without  reducing the number of
employees, teriminating its relationship with its financial advisors or reducing
the number of and scope of patent  applications in the United States and abroad.
Such   reductions   may  have  a  material   adverse  effect  on  the  sale  and
commercialization  of the  Company's  products.  Management  does not  intend to
downsize,  terminate its financial  advisors or limit the number or scope of the
Company's patent filings unless liquidity concerns force the Company to do so.

         Net interest  income was $4,506 and $6,600 for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1997, compared with $33,643 and $83,900 for the comparable period
from the prior year. The difference in net interest  income between said periods
relates mainly to interest earned on funds on deposit.  As funds on deposit have
decreased  so  has  the  net  interest  income.  Unless  the  Company  generates
additional cash through product sales or financings,  net interest income during
the remainder of 1997 will be substantially less than in 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         To date,  the Company has financed its operations  principally  through
private  placements of equity securities and receipt of advanced royalties under
the License  Agreement.  From  inception  through June 30, 1997, the Company had
received net proceeds of approximately $10,948,000 through financing activities.
As of June  30,  1997,  the  Company's  liabilities  totaled  $2,193,857,  which
included  $1,750,000  in  unearned  royalty  revenue  relating  to  the  License
Agreement.  The Company had working  capital as of June 30, 1997,  of $1,232,905
and the Company used net cash in operating activities of approximately  $230,182
during the six months ended June 30, 1997.

         The Company's  working capital and other capital  requirements  for the
foreseeable future will vary based upon a number of factors, including the costs
to complete  development and bring the  ExtreSafe(TM)  medical needle withdrawal
technology,  intravenous flow gauge,  blood collection device and other products
to commercial viability,  and the level of sales of and marketing for the Safety
Cradle(R) sharps containers and ExtreSafe(TM) Lancet Strip.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         In order to maintain  current  levels of  spending  for the next twelve
months the Company will need to raise  additional  funds  through one or more of
the  following   sources:   a  private   offering,   product  sales,   licensing
arrangements,  distribution  agreements,  or otherwise (the "Funding  Sources").
Management  believes that it will be successful  in raising  additional  funding
through Funding Sources.  The Company may, however,  be required to further slow
the  commercialization  of its  products  under  development  if  funds  are not
available from Funding  Sources.  There is no assurance that any Funding Sources
will provide funding or that, if funding is received,  the terms of such funding
will be favorable to the Company.

         If funding from Funding Sources does not  materialize,  the Company can
and would expect to reduce operating costs and capital  expenditures by focusing
primarily on its sharps  container,  lancet and other  products that are or soon
will be ready to sell.  The  Company's  failure,  however,  to  produce  or sell
sufficient  quantities  of its  products,  raise  additional  funds from Funding
Sources, or sufficiently reduce its costs of operations and capital expenditures
could  materially  and adversely  affect the Company's  cash flows and financial
condition.   Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  management  may  expend  cash  at
relatively  high rates by  maintaining  or  increasing  spending  if  management
determines that additional funding is likely to be obtained.  If the anticipated
funding  is  not  obtained,  such  continued  expenditures  may  materially  and
adversely affect the Company's financial condition.

Trading Market

         The Company's  common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq Small-Cap
Market  System.  In order to continue to qualify its stock for  quotation on the
Nasdaq  Small-Cap  Market,  a company must have,  among other  things,  at least
$2,000,000 in total assets,  $1,000,000 in capital and surplus and a minimum bid
price for its stock of $1.00 per  share.  If the  Company is not  successful  in
raising  additional  funds  from  Funding  Sources  or if sales do not  increase
substantially, then the Company may fall below the capital or asset requirements
and the  Company's  common  stock will no longer  qualify for  quotation  on the
Nasdaq Small-Cap Market. In addition,  the listing criteria may change and there
is no assurance that the Company would meet such new requirements.

         In the event of delisting, trading, if any, in the Company's securities
would be  expected to be  conducted  in the  over-the-counter  market in what is
commonly referred to as the "pink sheets" or the "Electronic Bulletin Board." As
a result,  an investor  may find it more  difficult  to dispose of, or to obtain
accurate  quotations as to the price of, the Company's  securities.  The loss of
continued  price  quotations as provided by the Nasdaq System could also cause a
decline in the price of the Common Stock, a loss of news coverage of the Company
and difficulty in obtaining subsequent financing.

Forward-Looking Statements

         When used in this Form 10-Q,  in other  filings by the Company with the
SEC,  in  the  Company's   press   releases  or  other  public  or   stockholder
communications,  or in oral  statements  made with the approval of an authorized
executive officer of the Company, the words or phrases "would be," "will allow,"
"intends to," "will likely  result," "are  expected  to," "will  continue,"  "is
anticipated,"  "estimate,"  "project,"  or similar  expressions  are intended to
identify  "forward-looking   statements"  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

         The  Company  cautions  readers  not to  place  undue  reliance  on any
forward-looking  statements,  which speak only as of the date made, are based on
certain  assumptions and expectations  which may or may not be valid or actually
occur,  and which  involve  various risks and  uncertainties,  including but not
limited to risk of  product  demand,  market  acceptance,  economic  conditions,
competitive   products  and  pricing,   difficulties  in  product   development,
commercialization,  and technology, and other risks. Furthermore,  manufacturing
delays may result from  additional  mold redesigns or delays may result from the
failure to timely  obtain FDA  approval to sell future  products.  In  addition,

                                       11
<PAGE>

sales through BD or otherwise may not commence as  anticipated  due to delays by
BD or  otherwise.  If and when product sales  commence,  sales may not reach the
levels anticipated. As a result, the Company's actual results for future periods
could differ materially from those anticipated or projected.

         Unless  otherwise  required by  applicable  law,  the Company  does not
undertake,   and   specifically   disclaims  any   obligation,   to  update  any
forward-looking statements to reflect occurrences,  developments,  unanticipated
events or circumstances after the date of such statement.
