        SPECIALIZED HEALTH PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                      (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,
1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  operating
results that may result for the year ending  December 31, 1998.  The  accounting
policies  followed  by the  Company  are set  forth  in Note 1 to the  Company's
consolidated financial statements in its December 31, 1997 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. Therefore,  there
is no  difference  between  basic and diluted net loss per common  share for the
periods presented. The Company has common stock options and warrants outstanding
at June 30,  1998  that,  if  exercised,  would  result  in the  issuance  of an
additional 10,254,537 shares of common stock.

(3)  Short-Term Investments

         Short-term  investments  at June 30,  1998  consist of  investments  in
commercial  paper having maturity dates from July 27, 1998 to September 25, 1998
with  discount  rates ranging from 5.57% to 5.61%.  The Company  intends to hold
these investments until maturity.

(4) Quantum Imaging Corporation

         In October  1995,  the Company and Zerbec,  Inc.  ("Zerbec"),  as joint
venturers,  formed Quantum Imaging Corporation ("QIC") to develop,  manufacture,
and market an improved filmless digitized imaging system. The Company and Zerbec
are equal owners of QIC.  Pursuant to the terms of the joint venture  agreement,
among other things, Zerbec has an option to acquire two-thirds of SHP's interest
in QIC for one dollar if certain  funding  objectives  are not met (the  "Zerbec
Option").  On April 3, 1998,  the Company  entered into an agreement with Zerbec
wherein the  Company  agreed to pay to Zerbec  $110,000  for  expenses  incurred
through June 30, 1998 along with $10,000 per month until the earlier of the date
on which QIC  receives $3 million in funding or until  September  30,  1998.  In
consideration  for these payments,  Zerbec  relinquished the Zerbec Option if $3
million in funding is received by Quantum before September 30, 1998.

(5)  New Facilities Lease

         Effective June 1, 1998, the Company  entered into a new five-year lease
agreement for facilities that will accommodate the Company's  administration  as
well as research and development and anticipated low volume  manufacturing.  The
agreement  was  entered  into on April 1,  1998 and  subsequently  amended.  The
agreement  provides for the lease of 17,273 square feet of total space at a cost
of approximately $276,400 for the first year, which rate will increase at a rate
of four percent per year during the five-year term of the lease. Management has

                                      7
<PAGE>

determined  that the  increase  in the  total  space  leased by the  Company  is
necessary to accommodate the expected  growth of the Company,  its employees and
activities.

(6) Technology Option To Purchase Agreement

         In June 1998, the Company entered into an Option to Purchase  Agreement
("Option  Agreement")  with the  University of Texas System to purchase  certain
patents and related  technology,  research and  development for a total purchase
price of $2,400,000.  The Option  Agreement  requires a $240,000  non-refundable
payment to be made within 30 days of the effective date of the Option  Agreement
with the balance of  $2,160,000 to be paid within 30 days of the exercise of the
purchase option.  The Company has the exclusive right to exercise the option and
acquire the patents  and  related  technology  for a period of one year from the
date of the execution of the Option Agreement, or within 14 days of notification
of successful  completion of an animal toxicity study.  The $240,000 was paid in
July 1998 and has been recorded as an accrued liability and expensed as research
and development cost in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
June 30, 1998.

         In  connection  with this Option  Agreement,  the Company  entered into
consulting agreements with three individuals who were the principal inventors of
the  technology.  These  consulting  agreements  provide for the  individuals to
perform  services for the Company in assisting in the successful  development of
the related technology.  The individuals are to provide a minimum of 50 hours of
services annually for which they will be compensated at a rate of $150 per hour.
Each  individual  also  executed  stock option  agreements  with the  subsidiary
corporation,  Iontophoretics  ("IPC"),  which is the  entity  entering  into the
Option  Agreement and the  individual  consulting  agreements.  The stock option
agreements  provide for the  individuals  to purchase up to 40,000 shares of IPC
common stock at an exercise  price of $.01 per share in 10,000 share  increments
based on the achieving of certain  milestone  events in the future.  The Company
has  recorded  $7,200 of  consulting  expense in the  accompanying  consolidated
financial  statements for the period ended June 30, 1998 related to the granting
of these options.

(7) Subsequent Event

         As of June 30,  1998,  the  Company had  outstanding  Series A Warrants
related to the  potential  issuance of 3,110,875  shares of common stock with an
exercise  price of $3.00 per share.  The Company also had  outstanding  Series B
Warrants  related to the potential  issuance of 1,290,375 shares of common stock
with an  exercise  price of $2.00 per  share.  In July  1998,  certain  Series B
Warrants  were  exercised  resulting in the issuance of 85,000  shares of common
stock with  proceeds to the Company of $170,000.  The  remaining  Series A and B
Warrants have expired.

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,
1997.  Wherever in this  discussion  the term  "Company"  is used,  it should be
understood to refer to Specialized Health Products International,  Inc. ("SHPI")
and its wholly owned  subsidiaries,  Specialized Health Products,  Inc. ("SHP"),
Specialized  Cooperative  Corporation  ("SCC")  and  Iontophoretics  Corporation
("IPC"),  on a consolidated  basis,  except where the context clearly  indicates
otherwise.

Overview

         From its inception, the Company has incurred losses from operations. As
of June 30, 1998, the Company had cumulative net losses totaling $13,889,649. To
date, the Company's principal focus has been the design,  development,  testing,
and evaluation of its Safety Cradle(R) sharps  containers,  ExtreSafe(R)  Lancet
Strip,  ExtreSafe(R)  medical needle  technology,  intravenous flow gauge, blood
collection  device,  and other  products,  and the design and development of its
molds  and  production   processes  relating  to  its  Safety  Cradle(R)  sharps
containers and ExtreSafe(R) Lancet Strip.

Financial Position

         The  Company  had  $448,190  in cash as of June 30, 1998 in addition to
$3,967,351 in short-term  interest  bearing  investments.  This  represented  an
increase of $2,973,985  from December 31, 1997.  Working  capital as of June 30,
1998,  increased  to  $4,434,517  as compared to $609,962 at December  31, 1997.
These  increases  were largely due to the  completion of a private  placement of
securities by the Company that closed in January 1998, as discussed below.

Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

         During the three and six months  ended June 30,  1998,  the Company had
total revenues of $281,481 and $527,589,  respectively,  comprised  primarily of
development  fees;  compared  with  revenues of $123,682  and  $163,160  for the
comparable  periods  from the prior year,  comprised  entirely of revenues  from
product sales.

All of the Company's development fee revenues during the three months ended June
30, 1998,  were received  pursuant to a development  and license  agreement (the
"J&J Agreement") with Johnson & Johnson Medical, Inc. ("J&J"). The J&J Agreement
provides that the Company and J&J will seek to commercialize  two products using
the  ExtreSafe(R)  medical  needle  technology.  The J&J Agreement  provides for
monthly  development fee payments by J&J, sharing of field related patent costs,
payments for initial  periods of low volume  manufacturing,  an ongoing  royalty
stream and a J&J investment in molds, assembly equipment and other capital costs
related to  commercialization  of each product.  The J&J Agreement also provides
for an ongoing  joint  cooperative  program  between  the  Company and J&J which
derives future funding directly from sales of certain products,  including joint
cooperative program products,  low volume manufacturing  revenue for the Company
and an ongoing  royalty stream for additional  safety products which are jointly
approved for development. The Company anticipates that revenues from development
fees under the J&J Agreement will not decrease  during the remainder of 1998 and
sales are expected to begin under the J&J  Agreement in early 1999.  There is no
assurance,  however,  that development fees will not decrease or that there will
be sales under the J&J Agreement.

         Substantially  all of the Company's  product sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 were derived from the sale of the ExtreSafe(R)  Lancet Strip
while  substantially  all of the  Company's  product  sales for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 were generated from sales of the Company's  Safety Cradle(R)
sharps  containers.  The Company  employs a limited  number of sales  people and
seeks to market and sell its products through  third-party  distributors  and/or
licensees.

                                        9
<PAGE>

         Consistent with this strategy, in August 1996, the Company entered into
a  distribution  agreement  (the  "BDSDS  Distribution  Agreement")  with Becton
Dickinson  and  Company  Sharps  Disposal  Systems  ("BDSDS")  whereby  BDSDS is
marketing and distributing the Company's Safety Cradle(R) sharps containers.

         BDSDS began selling the Safety  Cradle(R)  sharps  containers under the
BDSDS Distribution Agreement in the first quarter of 1997. During 1997, however,
BDSDS did not order the minimum  required  amount of product  under the terms of
the BDSDS Distribution  Agreement and, therefore,  BDSDS' exclusive distribution
rights became nonexclusive.  In addition, the Company gave notice of termination
of the BDSDS  Distribution  Agreement,  as it is authorized to do in the case of
BDSDS' failure to purchase the minimum  amount of product  required by the BDSDS
Distribution   Agreement.   The  parties   subsequently  agreed  to  extend  the
termination date and exclusivity  provision of the BDSDS Distribution  Agreement
until May 26,  1998 to give  BDSDS  the  opportunity  to  purchase  the  minimum
products specified in the BDSDS Distribution  Agreement.  BDSDS did not meet the
terms of the extension of the  agreement.  As a result,  the BDSDS  Distribution
Agreement was terminated and the Company is pursuing various  alternatives  with
BDSDS and others  with  respect  to the use and  distribution  of the  Company's
Safety Cradle(R) sharps containers.

         Company  management is disappointed  with sales of the Safety Cradle(R)
sharps  containers  under the  BDSDS or one or more  other  distributors  and/or
licensees  with  the  proper  focus  and  strategy  to  accelerate  sales of the
Company's  sharps  containers  in to the  home  healthcare  market.  There is no
assurance,  however, that a favorable distribution and/or license agreement will
be  negotiated  between  the  Company and BDSDS or any other party or that sales
will improve.

         In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement (the "Alliance
Agreement")  with Alliance Medical which provides for the Company to manufacture
and  Alliance  Medical to market and sell the  ExtreSafe(R)  Lancet  Strip on an
exclusive basis in hospitals, alternate site (e.g., homecare, plasma centers and
blood banks) and consumer markets in the United States. Effective March 1, 1998,
the Alliance Agreement was converted to a non-exclusive  agreement with no sales
minimums  so that the  Company can pursue  additional  sources of  distribution.
To date there have been no material sales of ExtreSafe(R) Lancet Strips. 

         License and distribution  arrangements,  such as those discussed above,
create  certain  risks for the  Company,  including  (i)  reliance  for sales of
products  on  other  parties,  and  therefore  reliance  on the  other  parties'
marketing ability, marketing plans and credit-worthiness;  (ii) if the Company's
products are marketed under other parties' labels,  goodwill associated with use
of the  products may inure to the benefit of the other  parties  rather than the
Company;  (iii) the Company may have only  limited  protection  from  changes in
manufacturing  costs and raw materials costs; and (iv) if the Company is reliant
on other parties for all or  substantially  all of its sales, the Company may be
limited in its ability to negotiate with such other parties upon any renewals of
their agreements.  Further,  because such arrangements are generally expected to
provide the Company's  marketing  partners with certain  elements of exclusivity
with respect to the  products to be marketed by those  partners,  the  Company's
success will be highly dependent on the results obtained by its partners.

         Research and  development  ("R&D")  expenses were $432,714 and $666,677
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared  with
$293,227  and  $592,511  for the  comparable  periods  from the prior year.  The
Company's  R&D  efforts  during  the three and six months  ended June 30,  1998,
focused on development of several additional products utilizing the ExtreSafe(R)
medical needle  technology,  continued  development work on a filmless digitized
imaging technology (which was performed by Quantum Imaging Corporation,  but was
funded  by the  Company)  and  costs  associated  with a patent  and  technology
purchase option agreement entered into between the Company and the University of
Texas  System.  The Company's R&D efforts in the three and six months ended June
30, 1997, focused on development of the ExtreSafe(R)  Lancet Strip,  development
relating  to  several  products   utilizing  the  ExtreSafe(R)   medical  needle
technology and development  work on the filmless  digitized  imaging  technology
performed by Quantum Imaging Corporation.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         Exclusive of the costs  associated  with the new patent and  technology
purchase option agreement,  R&D expenditures for the three months ended June 30,
1998,  were  less than R&D  expenditures  for each of the  three  months  ended,
September 30, 1997,  December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998, due mainly to receipt
of development  fees under the J&J Agreement.  Should capital  resources  become
limited,  further  reductions in R&D  expenditures are unlikely unless and until
the Company reduces its staff.  Downsizing may have a material adverse effect on
product development.  Management does not intend to downsize. With the increased
R&D associated with the J&J Agreement, the Company may hire additional employees
and consultants.

         Selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses  were  $612,092  and
$1,217,431  for the three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1998,  respectively,
compared with $929,479 and $1,578,793 for the comparable  periods from the prior
year.  The  decrease   resulted  mainly  from  reductions  in  professional  and
consulting fees.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses during the three months
ended June 30,  1998,  were also less than amounts  expended  during each of the
three months ended,  September 30, 1997 and December 31, 1997 and  comparable to
the related  expenses  for the  quarter  ended March 31,  1998.  Should  capital
resources   become  limited,   further   reductions  in  selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  will be  difficult  without  reducing  the  number  of
employees  or  reducing  the number of and scope of patent  applications  in the
United States and abroad.  Reductions in the Company's  work force or the number
of and scope of patent application filings may have a material adverse effect on
the sale and  commercialization  of the Company's products.  Management does not
intend to downsize or limit the number or scope of the Company's  patent filings
unless  liquidity  concerns  force the Company to do so. With an increase in the
Company's  R&D and  related  activities,  associated  principally  with  the J&J
Agreement, the Company may experience an increase in associated selling, general
and administrative costs.

         Interest and other income was $65,799 and $110,133for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1998,  respectively,  compared  with $4,683 and $6,600 for
the comparable  period from the prior year.  The  difference in interest  income
between said periods  relates mainly to interest  earned on funds on deposit and
short-term  interest  bearing  investments.  As funds on  deposit  and  interest
bearing short-term investments have decreased so has the interest income. Unless
the Company  generates  additional  cash through  product  sales or  financings,
interest  income  during the remainder of 1998 will decrease as funds on deposit
and interest bearing short-term investments are reduced.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         To date,  the Company has financed its operations  principally  through
private  placements of equity  securities,  proceeds from the exercise of common
stock  options,  advanced  royalties  and  development  fees.  The  Company  has
generated   $15,951,384  in  net  proceeds  through  financing  activities  from
inception  through  June 30,  1998.  The  Company  used  net  cash in  operating
activities of $260,404 during the six months ended June 30, 1998. As of June 30,
1998,  the  Company's  liabilities  totaled  $553,434,  and it ha  $3,750,000 in
deferred  royalty revenue relating to royalties the Company received from Becton
Dickinson and Company Infusion Therapy Division  pursuant to a license agreement
relating to a single  application  of the Company's  ExtreSafe(R)  safety needle
technology. The Company had working capital as of June 30, 1998 of $4,434,517.

         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(R)  medical needle  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(R)  Lancet Strip.  The Company  believes that
existing funds, license fees,  development fees, and funds generated from sales,
will be  sufficient  to support the  Company's  operations  and planned  capital
expenditures  through 1998. The Company may,  however,  raise  additional  funds
through a public or  private  offering  if, in the  opinion of  management,  the
Company is in need of additional  funding.  There is no assurance  that any such
offering  will be completed or that,  if  completed,  the terms of such offering
will be favorable to the Company.

         In 1995, 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, Zerbec assigned patented filmless digitized imaging

                                       11

technology to Quantum and will provide  ongoing  support for the development and
commercialization  of the  technology.  The joint  venture  also gave Zerbec the
right to acquire  two-thirds  of the  Company's  interest  in Quantum if certain
funding objectives were not achieved (the "Zerbec Option").

         Quantum was unsuccessful in meeting the funding objectives. On April 3,
1998,  however,  the Company and Zerbec  entered into an  agreement  whereby the
Company agreed to pay Zerbec $110,000 for expenses  Zerbec had incurred  through
June 30, 1998 on Quantum's behalf along with $10,000 per month until the earlier
of the date on which Quantum  receives $3 million in funding or until  September
30, 1998. In consideration for these payments, Zerbec will relinquish the Zerbec
Option if $3 million in funding is  received  by Quantum  before  September  30,
1998.  There can be no  assurance  that  Quantum  will be  successful  in timely
raising the $3 million in funding or that the  Company's  ownership  interest in
Quantum  will not  decrease  as a result of the  exercise  of the Zerbec  Option
and/or from dilution related to outside financing.

         In July  1998,  Series  B  Warrants  were  exercised  resulting  in the
issuance of 85,000 shares of common stock of the Company with total  proceeds of
$170,000.  The  remaining  Series B and all of the Series A Warrants  expired in
July 1998.

Inflation

         The Company does not expect the impact of  inflation on its  operations
to be significant.


Year 2000

         The Company uses  computers  principally  for product  design,  product
prototyping  and   administrative   functions  such  as   communications,   word
processing,  accounting and management  and financial  reporting.  The Company's
principal  computer  systems have been  purchased  since  December 31, 1995. The
software utilized by the Company is generally standard "off the shelf" software,
typically  available from a number of vendors.  While the Company believes it is
taking all  appropriate  steps to assure year 2000  compliance,  it is dependent
substantially  on vendor  compliance.  The Company  intends to modify or replace
those systems that are not year 2000  compliant.  The Company is verifying  with
its system and software vendors that the services and products  provided are, or
will be, year 2000 compliant.  The Company estimates that the cost to redevelop,
replace  or  repair  its  technology  will  not  be  material.  There  can be no
assurance,  however,  that such systems and/or programs are or will be year 2000
compliant and that the failure of such would not have a material  adverse impact
on the Company's business and operations.

         In  addition  to its own  computer  systems,  in  connection  with  its
business activities, the Company interacts with suppliers,  customers, creditors
and financial service  organizations  domestically and globally who use computer
systems. It is impossible for the Company to monitor all such systems, and there
can be no assurance  that the failure of such systems  would not have a material
adverse  impact  on the  Company's  business  and  operations.  The  Company  is
currently  evaluating  what  contingency  plans, i any, to make in the event the
Company or parties  with whom the Company  does  business  experience  year 2000
problems.

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

                                       12
<PAGE>

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,  changes in the regulation of safety health
care products,  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,  sales and other
revenues may not commence as anticipated due to delays or otherwise. If and when
product sales commence, sales may not reach the levels anticipated. As a result,
the Company'  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.
