(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  only 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.   These  condensed   consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction  with consolidated  financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's  December 31, 1998 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the three months ended March
31, 1999,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  operating  results that may
result for the year ending December 31, 1999. The accounting  policies  followed
by the Company are set forth in Note 1 to the Company's  consolidated  financial
statements in its December 31, 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(2) Basic and Diluted 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 March 31,  1999  that,  if  exercised,  would  result in the  issuance  of an
additional 6,084,287 share of common stock.

(3) Reclassifications

         Certain   reclassifications   have  been  made  in  the  prior   year's
consolidated financial statements to conform to the current period presentation.

(4) Cash and Cash Equivalents 

         Cash and cash  equivalents  at March 31, 1999  include  investments  in
commercial  paper  having  maturity  dates  ranging from April 1, 1999 to May 6,
1999 with  interest  rates ranging from 5.10% to 5.13%.  The Company  intends to
hold these investments until maturity.

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 and  accompanying  notes and  Management's  Discussion and
Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  for the year ended
December 31, 1998.  Wherever in this  discussion  the term "Company" is used, it
should be understood to refer to Specialized Health Products International, Inc.
and  its  wholly  owned   subsidiaries,   Specialized  Health  Products,   Inc.,
Specialized  Cooperative  Corporation  and  Iontophoretics   Corporation,  on  a
consolidated basis, except where the context clearly indicates otherwise.

Overview

         From its inception, the Company has incurred losses from operations. As
of March 31, 1999, the Company had  cumulative  net losses  applicable to common
shares totaling $17,180,828. To date, the Company's principal focus has been the
design,  development,  testing,  and evaluation of its Safety  Cradle(R)  sharps
containers, safety lancets, safety needle technologies,  intravenous flow gauge,
blood collection devices, and other safety medical products,  and the design and
development of various molds and production processes.

Financial Position

         The Company had $1,637,966 in cash and cash equivalents as of March 31,
1999.  This  represents a decrease of $842,117 from  December 31, 1998.  Working
capital as of March 31, 1999,  decreased to $2,155,645 as compared to $2,849,062
at December  31, 1998.  These  decreases  were  largely due to ongoing  selling,
general and administrative costs and research and development  expenditures with
no product sales and minimal margins on development fees. There were no proceeds
from equity or other financing sources during the quarter ended March 31, 1999.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 1998

         During the three  months  ended March 31,  1999,  the Company had total
revenues  of  $553,176,  comprised  totally  of  development  fees under the JJM
Agreement.  This is compared to total  revenues of $246,108  for the  comparable
period from the prior year,  comprised of $237,431 in development fees under the
JJM Agreement and $8,677 in product sales. As discussed  below, the Company will
look to several other products and devices for future sales revenues.

         The JJM  Agreement  provides  that the  Company  and JJM  will  seek to
commercialize  two products  using safety  medical  needle  technology.  The JJM
Agreement  provides for monthly  development  payments by JJM,  sharing of field
related patent costs,  the  possibility  of payments for initial  periods of low
volume  manufacturing,  an ongoing royalty stream and a JJM investment in molds,
assembly equipment and other capital costs related to  commercialization of each
product.  The JJM  Agreement  also  provides  for an ongoing  joint  cooperative
program  between the Company and JJM which derives future funding  directly from
sales of Company created products,  the possibility of 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 JJM will  perform  substantially  all of the  manufacturing  under  the JJM
Agreement  during 1999.  The Company and JJM also reached  arrangements  whereby
they are pursuing development and  commercialization of four additional products
under their joint cooperative program. The Company anticipates that sales of two
products  under the JJM Agreement will begin in 1999. The Company had previously
believed sales of product under the JJM Agreement would begin in early 1999. The
reason for the delay  primarily  related to design  changes to meet  anticipated
market  requirements.  There is no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  realize
revenues  under the JJM Agreement or that any of these products will be launched
as anticipated.

         The  Company  has also  entered  into a license  agreement  (the  "BDIT
License  Agreement")  that  relates  to a single  application  of the  Company's
ExtreSafe(R) safety needle technology (the "Technology").  Pursuant to the terms
of the License  Agreement,  BDIT made payments of $4,000,000 to the Company.  Of
these total payments,  $3,750,000 was for advanced royalties for sales occurring
before the year 2002 and $250,000  was for a product  development  fee.  BDIT is

                                      7
<PAGE>

required to pay  ongoing  royalties  to the  Company  based on sales of products
utilizing  the  Technology.  The Company  will not be  manufacturing  product in
connection with the License Agreement.  In addition,  beginning in BDIT's fiscal
year 2002,  BDIT is  required  to pay  minimum  royalties  in order to  maintain
exclusive rights under the License  Agreement.  BDIT previously told the Company
that BDIT  expected  to begin  selling  the  product  that is the subject of the
License  Agreement in the second  quarter of 1999.  It has come to the Company's
attention  that there is a  significant  likelihood  that the  product  will not
release as  previously  represented.  The Company is in the process of trying to
obtain  additional  information  from  BDIT  regarding  any  plans  relating  to
marketing of this product.  There is no assurance  that the Company will realize
additional  revenues  under the License  Agreement  or that the product  will be
launched in the second quarter of 1999.

         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 material 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 $253,942 for the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  compared with $233,963 for the  comparable  period
from the prior year.  The  Company's  R&D efforts  during the three month period
ended March 31, 1999,  focused on  development  of several  additional  products
utilizing the Company's  medical safety needle  technologies.  The Company's R&D
efforts  during  the three  month  period  ended  March  31,  1998,  focused  on
development  of several  additional  products  utilizing the  Company's  medical
safety  needle  technologies  and  continued  development  work  on  a  filmless
digitized   imaging   technology   (which  was  performed  by  Quantum   Imaging
Corporation,  but was funded by the Company).  The increase  resulted  primarily
from an  increase  in the number of  products  being  developed  and  additional
development personnel employed by the Company.

         Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  were  $639,385 for the
three months ended March 31, 1999,  compared  with  $605,339 for the  comparable
period from the prior year. The increase resulted mainly from an increase in the
costs associated with exploring new product  arrangements along with an increase
in the cost of facilities leased by the Company.

         Interest  and other income was $28,058 for the three months ended March
31, 1999,  compared with $48,632 for the comparable  period from the prior year.
The difference in interest  income between the periods  resulted from changes in
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 related interest income. Unless the Company generates additional cash
through  product sales or  financings,  interest  income during the remainder of
1999  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,  advanced  royalties,  development fees
and proceeds from the exercise of common stock  options.  The Company  generated
$16,125,885 in net proceeds through financing  activities from inception through
March 31, 1999.  The Company used net cash for operating  activities of $838,381
for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  As of March 31, 1999,  the Company's
current  liabilities  totaled $289,873 and it had $3,750,000 in deferred royalty
revenues  relating to the Becton Dickinson  License  Agreement.  The Company had
working  capital as of March 31, 1999 of  $2,155,645.  The  Company  anticipates
settling its  subscriptions  receivable  through  collection or otherwise in the
immediate future.

         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  safety  medical  needle  technologies,
intravenous  flow  gauge,   blood  collection  devices  and  other  products  to
commercial  viability,  and the  level of sales of and  marketing  costs for the
Safety Cradle(R) sharps containers,  safety lancets and other products. At March
31, 1999, the Company had not committed any funds for capital expenditures.  The
Company  believes that existing funds,  development  fees from JJM under the JJM
Agreement,  license  revenues  and funds  generated  from sales of products  and

                                       8
<PAGE>

non-core  technologies,  will be sufficient to support the Company's  operations
and planned capital  expenditures  through at least the end of 1999. The Company
may,  however,  attempt to raise additional funds through a subsequent 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 June 1998, the Company entered into an Option to Purchase  Agreement
(the "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.  In  accordance  with the  Option  Agreement,  a  $240,000
non-refundable  payment was made in July 1998 with the balance of  $2,160,000 to
be paid  within 30 days of the  exercise  of the  purchase  option.  The Company
retained 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 animal toxicity studies. The Company received notice of successful completion
of the  toxicity  studies in February  1999 and  subsequently  entered  into two
amendments  to the Option  Agreement  resulting  in an extension of the exercise
period to May 1999 in  exchange  for  payments  totaling  $65,000.  The  Company
anticipates  reimbursement  of a portion of these fees from a third party who is
potentially  interested  in  acquiring  the  technology  from the  Company  upon
exercise of the option.

         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
assist  the  Company  to  successfully  develop  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
Corporation ("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 achieving
certain  milestone  events in the future.  The Company  has  recorded  $7,200 of
consulting expense in the 1998 consolidated  financial statements related to the
granting of these options.

Nasdaq Small-Cap Market Quotation

         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,  the Company must have, among other things, $2 million
in net tangible  assets,  a market  capitalization  of $35 million or annual net
income of $500,000.  The Company is also required to have a minimum bid price of
at least $1 per share.

         As of March 31, 1999,  the Company had deficit net  tangible  assets of
$442,926,  net losses and market capitalization of $11,973,390 and the Company's
bid price is below the $1 per share minimum bid price. As a result,  the Company
does not meet the Nasdaq  Small-Cap Market listing  requirements.  A hearing was
held with Nasdaq on April 1, 1999 to consider  delisting  or  suspension  of the
Company's Common Stock from the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market.  The panel has not made
a decision  regarding  this  matter.  The  Company  expects  that  delisting  or
suspension  will occur unless the Company can bring itself into  compliance with
the  requirements  and demonstrate an ability to maintain  compliance with those
requirements. The Company is attempting to bring itself into compliance with all
applicable  Nasdaq  Small-Cap  Market  listing  requirements.  There  can  be no
assurance that the Company will be in compliance and be able to demonstrate  the
ability to maintain  compliance  in the immediate  future or  otherwise.  In the
event of delisting or suspension,  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  "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.

Inflation

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

Year 2000

         The Company uses computer networks, personal computer based development
and measurement equipment,  and personal microprocessors that have the potential
for  operational  problems if they lack the ability to handle the  transition to
the Year 2000. The Company has been aggressively proactive in pursuing solutions
for the Year 2000 problem. The Company has acquired new accounting software that
the  vendor  has   represented   is  Year  2000   compliant  and  has  initiated
communications with its suppliers, dealers, distributors and other third parties
in order to assess and reduce the risk that the  Company's  operations  could be
adversely  affected by the failure of these third parties to adequately  address
the Year 2000 issue.

         The  Company's  principal  computer  systems  (including  the  embedded
microprocessor  systems)  have been  purchased  since  December 31, 1996 and the
vendors supplying such systems have generally  represented that such systems are
Year 2000 compliant.  The software utilized by the Company is generally standard
"off the shelf"  software,  typically  available  from a number of vendors.  The
Company is verifying  with its  software  vendors that the services and products
provided are, or will be, Year 2000 compliant. Subject to such verification, the
Company  believes that its computer  systems and software is Year 2000 compliant
in all material  respects.  The Company  estimates  that the cost to  redevelop,
replace or repair its  technology  that is not Year 2000  compliant  will not be
material.  The Company is not using any  independent  verification or validation
procedures. There can be no assurance, however, that its systems or programs are
or will be Year 2000  compliant  and that the failure of those systems would not
have a material adverse impact on the Company's business and operations.

         In connection with its business activities,  the Company interacts with
suppliers,  customers,  and  financial  service  organizations  who use computer
systems.  The Company is verifying  with those  parties their state of Year 2000
readiness. Based on its assessment activity to date, the Company believes that a
majority of the suppliers,  customers and financial service  organizations  with
whom it interacts are making acceptable progress toward Year 2000 readiness. The
Company  currently  believes that the most reasonable likely worst case scenario
is that there will be some localized  disruptions of supplier,  customer  and/or
financial  services  that  will  affect  the  Company  and  its  suppliers,  and
distribution  channels  for a short  time  rather  than  systemic  or  long-term
problems affecting its business operations as a whole. In view of the foregoing,
the Company does not currently  anticipate that it will experience a significant
disruption to its business as a result of the Year 2000 issue. However, there is
still  uncertainty  about the  broader  scope of the Year  2000  issue as it may
affect  the  Company  and  third  parties  that are  critical  to the  Company's
operations.  For example,  lack of readiness by electrical and water  utilities,
financial  institutions,  government  agencies  or other  providers  of  general
infrastructure  could pose significant  impediments to the Company's  ability to
carry on its normal operations in the area or areas so affected.  The Company is
currently  evaluating what  contingency  plans, if any, to make in the event the
Company or parties  with whom the Company  does  business  experience  Year 2000
problems.

         The  statements  made herein about the costs  expected to be associated
with the Year 2000  compliance  and the  results  that the  Company  expects  to
achieve, constitute forward-looking  information. As noted above, there are many
uncertainties involved in the Year 2000 issue, including the extent to which the
Company will be able to successfully  and adequately  provide for  contingencies
that may arise,  as well as the  broader  scope of the Year 2000 issue as it may
affect third parties that are not  controlled by the Company.  Accordingly,  the
costs and  results  of the  Company's  Year 2000  program  and the extent of any
impact on the  Company's  operations  could vary  materially  from those  stated
herein.

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

                                       10
<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'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.
