ZAXIS INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements present the consolidated financial position and
results of operations of Zaxis International Inc. (International) and Zaxis
Inc. (Zaxis or the Company), its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Zaxis Incorporated was founded in 1989 as a privately held Ohio corporation.
On August 25, 1995, Zaxis merged with a subsidiary of The InFerGene Company
(InFerGene). InFerGene was an inactive publicly traded Delaware corporation
founded in 1985. Neither InFerGene nor its subsidiary had any assets or
liabilities. The merger, for accounting purposes, was a reverse acquisition in
which Zaxis acquired InFerGene. The acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase with no value assigned to InFerGene. InFerGene then changed its name
to Zaxis International Inc. The financial statements include the operations of
Zaxis for all periods presented and the operations of International since the
date of acquisition. All intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated.
As an interim report, the financial statements and notes thereto do not
include all of the disclosures necessary for a full presentation of financial
condition and operating results, and should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1997.
2. LIQUIDITY
Zaxis incurred losses of $636,717 during the six months ended June 30, 1998
and $548,406 in 1997. The operations of the Company have been financed mainly
by loans from companies and individuals associated with members of the Board
of Directors.
The Company continues to rely upon these sources to sustain on-going
operations, research, production development and sales development.
Discussions have been conducted with potential new investors for long-term
debt or equity funding, but to date no transactions have been completed. The
Company will necessarily be reliant upon such sources of funding until the
marketing of the companies principal products can be brought to a level
sufficient to support the operating requirements of the Company. These
conditions cause doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. No adjustments to the amounts or classification of assets and
liabilities which could result from the outcome of this uncertainty are
reflected in the financial statements.
3. NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE
The effects of outstanding options and warrants has not been included in the
calculation of net loss per share.

PART 1. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
Results of Operations
Two aspects of the business account for the change in results of operation
between 1998 and 1997. Sales were down $47,412 and interest expense up
$31,379. Sales for the six months ended June 30, 1998, totaled $95,388
compared with $142,800 for 1997's first six months. The decline was largely
due to decrease in pre-cast gel sales as a result of removing the previous
principle product line from market until redesigned and reintroduced at trial
test sights late 4th quarter 1997. Also, sales of molecular grade water and
gel mix were postponed from first half of 1998. Sales in the second quarter
were $45,604, compared to $49,784 in the first quarter.
Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 1998, was $281,300,
exceeding sales by $185,912. Cost of goods sold for the same period in 1997
was $165,869, exceeding sales by $23,069. Production capacity, built in 1996
in anticipation of rapid sales growth, is greater than sales volumes achieved,
causing inefficient application of labor and overhead. In March of 1997, the
Company took delivery on a custom designed automated product packaging system
for protein gels.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $381,732 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998, down from $482,585 for the same period in 1997. Reduction
in general and administrative staff accounted for $41,327, or 41% of decrease.
Selling expenses, including sales salaries, advertising and travel expenses
were reduced by $16,580, or 16% of decrease.
Financial Condition and Liquidity
Borrowings added $375,585 to cash in the six months ended June 30, 1998. These
funds were used for operations, which used $421,217 in cash. Since the end of
1997, the excess of current liabilities over current assets has decreased by
$170,651 in the period, to $1,028,738 from $1,199,389.
The Company needs to secure immediate financing to allow it to explore several
opportunities from new products that are now available for market introduction
and to afford it time to build sales volumes of these new products to
profitable levels. In the period required for product introduction and sales
growth, the company will need to satisfy obligations to current creditors.
Pursuant to this need, the Company continues to seek interim funding
