        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  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  the  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 and
nine months ended  September  30, 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 Income (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  of net loss per common  share
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 periods  presented  in which the  Company  incurs net
losses.  Basic and diluted net income per common  share are  equivalent  for the
nine months ended September 30, 1999 due to the minimal impact from  outstanding
options  and  warrants.  The  Company  has common  stock  options  and  warrants
outstanding  at  September  30, 1999 that,  if  exercised,  would  result in the
issuance of an additional 6,052,287 shares of common stock.

(3)      Reclassifications

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

(4)      Cash Equivalents

         Cash   equivalents  at  September  30,  1999  include   investments  in
commercial  paper having  maturity dates of October 8, 1999 and November 8, 1999
with  interest  rates of 5.05% and 5.13%,  respectively.  The Company  held hese
investments until maturity.

(5)      Subsequent Event

         In November 1999, the Company and Kendall Healthcare  Products Company,
a division of Tyco  Healthcare  Group LP ("Kendall")  entered into a Development
and License Agreement (the "Kendall  Agreement")  relating to one application of
SHPI needle  technology  in the  production of a line of safety  medical  needle
products,  including six syringe products and five other safety needle products.
The Kendall  Agreement  is subject to approval by the Boards of Directors of the
two  Companies.  The Kendall  Agreement  provides  for payment to the Company of
$1,500,000  within ten days after Board  approvals with another  $1,000,000 upon
the sale of  commercial  quantities  of  products  in  exchange  for the Company
assigning to Kendall the  FlexLoc(R)  and ReLoc(TM)  trademarks  and two related
patents for one  technology.  The assignment  of the patent rights to Kendall is
subject to a preexisting  license  agreement and the retention by the Company of
an exclusive,  royalty free worldwide  license in a number of strategic  product
areas. The Kendall Agreement also provides for SHPI to receive  development fees
and ongoing  royalties,  including a $500,000  advance  royalty payment upon the
sale of commercial  quantities of products.  It is anticipated that Kendall will
manufacture all products that are subject to the Kendall Agreement.

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 September  30, 1999,  the Company had  cumulative  net losses  applicable  to
common shares totaling  $15,143,668.  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 $581,649 in cash and cash  equivalents  as of September
30, 1999.  This  represents  a decrease of  $1,898,434  from  December 31, 1998.
Working  capital as of September 30, 1999,  decreased to $743,561 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 September 30, 1999.

Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1999 and 1998

         During the three and nine months ended  September 30, 1999, the Company
had total  revenues of  $170,282  and  $4,699,591,  respectively,  comprised  of
development  fees  under  the  Development  and  License   Agreement  (the  "JJM
Agreement") with Johnson & Johnson  Medical,  Inc. ("JJM") and license fees from
the license  agreement  (the  "License  Agreement")  with Becton  Dickinson  and
Company  Infusion Therapy Division  ("BDIT"),  which  arrangements are discussed
below.  This is compared to total  revenues of  $251,026  and  $778,615  for the
comparable periods from the prior year,  comprised primarily of development fees
under the JJM Agreement  and minimal  product  sales.  As discussed  below,  the
Company  will  look  to  several  other  products,   development  and  strategic
arrangements for future 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 2000.  The Company and JJM also reached  arrangements  whereby
they are pursuing development and  commercialization of four additional products
under their joint  cooperative  program.  No products  will be released into the
market under the JJM Agreement  during 1999. The Company  anticipates that sales
of five products under the JJM Agreement  will begin in the year 2000.  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 also has entered into the 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

                                       7
<PAGE>

Agreement,  BDIT made  payments of  $4,000,000  to the  Company.  Of these total
payments,  $3,750,000  was for  advanced  royalties  for  sales of  product  and
$250,000 was for a product  development  fee. In June 1999, BDIT and the Company
amended  the License  Agreement.  The  amendment  provides  that the  $3,750,000
previously  paid by BDIT to the  Company  will not be  credited  against  future
earned royalties and the Company will have no further  obligation of any kind to
BDIT with respect to these payments.  Additionally,  the Company agreed to defer
BDIT's exclusivity  related minimum royalty  obligations from BDIT's fiscal 2002
to its fiscal 2004. Accordingly,  the $3,750,000 of deferred royalty revenue was
recognized as revenue  during the quarter ended June 30, 1999.  The Company will
not be manufacturing product in connection with the License Agreement.

         BDIT  previously told the Company that it expected to begin selling the
product that is the subject of the License  Agreement at various times. BDIT has
now indicated  that it is unsure if or when product will be introduced  and sold
in the  market  under the  License  Agreement.  There is no  assurance  that the
Company will realize  additional  revenues  under the License  Agreement or that
product will be introduced or sold in the market under the License Agreement.

         Research and  development  ("R&D")  expenses were $173,604 and $562,429
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,  respectively,  compared
with $205,600 and $872,277 for the  comparable  periods from the prior year. The
Company's R&D efforts  during the three and nine month  periods ended  September
30, 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  and  nine  month  periods  ended  September  30,  1998,  focused  on
development of several  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 decreases in R&D expenses  resulted  primarily  from (i) a
reduction in the development  activities with respect to the filmless  digitized
imaging technology, (ii) the termination of two development employees, and (iii)
a reduction in the use of outside consultants for development activities.

         Selling,   general  and  administrative   expenses  were  $635,691  and
$2,137,167 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared with
$804,533 and  $2,021,964  for the  comparable  periods from the prior year.  The
increase in the nine month period  resulted mainly from an increase in the costs
associated with exploring new product  arrangements,  an increase in the cost of
the Company's leased  facilities and the costs associated with the settlement of
the Leerink Swann  litigation.  The decrease in the three month period  resulted
mainly  from (i) the  officers  of the  Company  taking a combined  thirty-three
percent  reduction  in  compensation,  (ii)  downsizing  which  resulted  in the
termination of two  administrative  employees,  and (iii) reduction in financial
advisory fees.

         Interest  and other  income was  $11,733  and $56,074 for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1999, compared with $56,193 and $170,624 for the
comparable  periods from the prior year. The decreases  resulted  primarily from
reductions in interest income 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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         To date,  the Company has financed its operations  principally  through
private  placements  of equity  securities,  license  and  development  fees and
proceeds  from the  exercise of common  stock  options.  The  Company  generated
$16,200,285 in net proceeds through financing  activities from inception through
September  30,  1999.  The Company  used net cash for  operating  activities  of
$1,952,898  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1999.  As of September 30,
1999,  the  Company's  current  liabilities  totaled  $110,457.  The Company had
working  capital as of September  30, 1999 of  $743,561.  During the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, $74,400 of the subscriptions receivable were collected.

         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   products,
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
September  30,  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

                                       8
<PAGE>

products and 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  estimates  that  it  will  need at  least  $3,000,000  in
additional funding in 2000 to execute its business plan. The Company anticipates
that  it will  generate  such  funding  through  license  fees,  royalties,  net
development fees, product sales and from the sale of non-core technologies.  The
Company  has no  plans  to  seek  additional  funding  through  the  sale of its
securities.  The Company has no contractual arrangements that guarantee that the
Company  will have  adequate  funding  during 2000 and there can be no assurance
that additional funding will be available on commercially reasonable terms or at
all. Any inability to obtain additional funding when needed will have a material
adverse  effect on the  Company,  including  possibly  requiring  the Company to
significantly curtail or cease its operations.

         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 three
amendments  to the Option  Agreement  resulting  in  extensions  of the exercise
period through August 23, 1999 in exchange for payments totaling  $140,000.  The
Company has been  reimbursed  for a portion of these fees from a third party who
is interested in acquiring the technology  from the Company upon exercise of the
option. A fourth amendment to the Option Agreement was executed effective August
23, 1999,  extending the exercise  period for an additional nine months upon the
payment of $25,000 per month.  Upon  execution  of the  amendment,  a payment of
$75,000 was made  covering the initial  three  months of the  extended  exercise
period. The same third party previously mentioned has committed to reimburse the
Company in full for these extension  payments.  The Company is not in a position
to  exercise  the option and the third party is not  prepared  to  complete  the
acquisition at this time.  Although  negotiations are continuing with respect to
the exercise of the option,  there can be no assurance that an extension will be
granted or, if granted, that it will be on a commercially reasonable basis.

         In November 1999, the Company and Kendall Healthcare  Products Company,
a division of Tyco  Healthcare  Group LP ("Kendall")  entered into a Development
and License Agreement (the "Kendall  Agreement")  relating to one application of
SHPI needle  technology  in the  production of a line of safety  medical  needle
products,  including six syringe products and five other safety needle products.
The Kendall  Agreement  is subject to approval by the Boards of Directors of the
two  Companies.  The Kendall  Agreement  provides  for payment to the Company of
$1,500,000  within ten days after Board  approvals with another  $1,000,000 upon
the sale of  commercial  quantities  of  products  in  exchange  for the Company
assigning to Kendall the  FlexLoc(R)  and ReLoc(TM)  trademarks  and two related
patents for one  technology.  The  assignment of the patent rights to Kendall is
subject to a preexisting  license  agreement and the retention by the Company of
an exclusive,  royalty free worldwide  license in a number of strategic  product
areas. The Kendall Agreement also provides for SHPI to receive  development fees
and ongoing  royalties,  including a $500,000  advance  royalty payment upon the
sale of commercial  quantities of products.  It is anticipated that Kendall will
manufacture all products that are subject to the Kendall Agreement.  There is no
assurance that the necessary Board of Director approvals will be obtained,  that
products  will be  launched as  anticipated  or that the  Company  will  realize
revenues under the Kendall Agreement.

Trading and Marketability of Common Stock

         In August 1999,  the Company's  common stock was suspended from trading
on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market System as a result of the Company being unable to
comply with the net  tangible  assets/market  capitalization/net  income and bid
price  requirements.  Trading in the Company's  securities is being conducted in
the over-the-counter  market in what is commonly referred to as the "Electronic"
or "OTC  Bulletin  Board" or the  "OTCBB".  The OTCBB is a quotation  medium for
subscribing members (market makers) and is not an issuer listing service.  OTCBB
securities  are traded by a community  of market  makers  that enter  quotes and
trade  reports  through  a  closed  computer  network.   There  are  no  listing
requirements or fees imposed on the Company other than the requirement to remain
current  in  the  Company's  filings  with  the  U.S.  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission.  The OTCBB is not considered to be a securities exchange. It may now
be more  difficult for the Company to obtain news  coverage and obtain  coverage
and the attention of the investment community.

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 are 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  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
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 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 from the Company's  licensing  partners 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.  Please refer to the
"Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of
Operations" and  specifically the discussion under "Other Factors" that is found
in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1998, for more details.

         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.

                          PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

         None.

Item 2. Changes in Securities.

         None.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

         None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Securityholders.

         None.

Item 5. Other Information.

         In October 1995, the Company  entered into a joint venture with Zerbec,
Inc.  ("Zerbec"),  whereby Quantum Imaging  Corporation ("QIC") was organized to
develop,  manufacture,  distribute and market products and technologies  using a
patented,  solid  state,  filmless  digitized  imaging  technology.  The Company
currently owns  approximately 17 percent of the outstanding common stock of QIC.
The  filmless  digitized  imaging  technology  involves  a  method  of  directly
producing an  electrical  signal from an image  recorded on an x-ray plate.  The
signal is instantly digitized and stored on a CD-ROM and the same x-ray plate is
then  available  for  subsequent  procedures.  The  filmless  digitized  imaging
technology eliminates film as the x-ray image recording medium and enables x-ray
images to be translated to a CD-ROM format to simplify their storage,  retrieval
and  handling.  The  Company  believes  that QIC's  filmless  digitized  imaging
technology  can improve the way in which x-ray images are obtained,  interpreted
and stored,  while also providing clearer images having higher  resolutions that
are more easily interpreted than x-ray films. Furthermore,  the Company believes
that this technology  could be applicable for use in x-ray  facilities in mobile
medical  emergency units. To date, this application is not in use due in part to
the  necessity  of  carrying  chemical  handling  equipment  required  for  film
processing.

         QIC does not have the funding to continue to develop the technology. It
has been seeking funding from several parties,  but it does not have any funding
commitments.  There can be no assurance that QIC will secure adequate funding to
continue  development,  or  that  if  obtained,  that  such  funding  will be on
commercially reasonable terms.
