COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT
 
     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company's officers and
directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of
the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in
ownership with the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange. Such officers, directors
and shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with
copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
 
     Based on its review of the copies of such forms received by the Company, or
written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were
acquired for those persons, the Company believes that during fiscal year 1993
all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and ten percent
beneficial owners were timely satisfied.

(1) Assumed rates of appreciation are not necessarily indicative of future stock
     performance. The potential realizable value at assumed annualized rates of
     stock price appreciation is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model
     adapted for use in valuing executive stock options. The actual value, if
     any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price
     over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised, so that there
     is no assurance the value realized by an executive will be at or near the
     value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. The estimated values under that
     model are based on arbitrary assumptions as to variables such as interest
     rates, stock price volatility and future dividend yield.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
 
     During 1985, the Company's parent, ICN, adopted a four year executive plan
("the Plan") available to officers and certain key employees of ICN or any of
its subsidiaries, including the Company, with benefits commencing at death or,
if the participant is at least 55 years of age and has participated in the Plan
for at least 10 years, on retirement. The four year term ended May 1, 1989.
Participants in the Plan had to be key employees earning $40,000 or more as a
base salary who elected to participate for either a two or four year period.
Each participant in the Plan was required to execute a salary deferral
agreement, which provided that the participant's compensation from the Company
would be reduced by a specified percentage, which amount would not be less than
$2,000 per year nor more than 50% of covered salary (including bonuses, if any).
The Company contributed an annual amount not greater than 5% of the
participant's base annual salary.
 
     A retiring participant receives his account balance (his contributions plus
the Company's contributions) together with interest and may elect to delay
receiving payments. The payments are normally made in monthly installments
unless the balance at time of retirement is less than $25,000. The minimum
number of such installments a participant may elect is 180, the maximum 300. If
a participant dies prior to retirement, such participant's designated
beneficiary receives the greater of such participant's account balance, with
interest at Moody's plus 3%, or ten times the participant's contributions for
the prior year, with interest at Moody's plus 3%. The beneficiary may elect a
lump sum payment or up to 180 monthly payments. If a participant becomes
disabled prior to retirement, such participant will receive an annual benefit
equal to one and one-half times the amount of such participant's annual
deferral, and the Company pays the regular retirement benefit commencing at age
65. Finally, if a participant terminates employment with the Company for any
other reason, such participant receives his contributions plus the vested
portion of the Company's contributions, with interest calculated based on years
of participation. The Company's contribution vests for this purpose based upon
the participant's years with the Company as follows: 40% vests after four years
of employment, followed by 10% additional vesting per year until 100% is vested
after 10 years. The interest is calculated as follows: one year in plan, no
interest; two to four years, Moody's; five to six years, Moody's plus 1%; seven
to 10 years; Moody's plus 2%; and after 10 years, Moody's plus 3%. Payment of
the amount due is made as follows: if under $25,000 owed, a lump sum payment
within 90 days; if $25,000-$50,000, 120 monthly payments; if over $50,000, 180
monthly payments.

     The present value of benefits expected to be paid is being accrued with
interest. In 1993, 1992 and 1991, $114,000 and $152,001 was accrued pursuant to
the agreements for all participating employees as a group, respectively. Of
these numbers $48,000, $24,000 and $55,000 was accrued for fiscal 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively, for all current executive officers.
 
CHANGE IN CONTROL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     On March 18, 1993, the Board of Directors of ICN adopted Employment
Agreements ("Employment Agreements") which contain "change in control" benefits
for seven key senior executive officers of ICN and its subsidiaries. The
executives include Mr. Jerney, Mr. John E. Giordani, Mr. Richard M. Fallis (who
recently retired from the Company on February 28, 1994) and Mr. Bill MacDonald,
officers of the Company.
 
     The Employment Agreements are intended to retain the services of these
executives and provide for continuity of management in the event of any actual
or threatened change in control. Each agreement has an initial term of three
years and is automatically extended for one year terms unless either the
employee or ICN elects not to extend it (provided that any notice by ICN or the
Company not to extend the agreement cannot cause the agreement to be terminated
prior to expiration of the third anniversary of the date of any change in
control). These Employment Agreements provide that each executive shall receive
severance benefits equal to three times salary (and certain other benefits) if
following a change in control of the Company or a subsidiary, as the case may
be, the executive's employment is terminated without cause, the executive
terminates employment for certain enumerated reasons (including a significant
reduction in the executive's compensation, duties, title or reporting
responsibilities or a change in the executive's job location) or the executive
leaves ICN or the Company for any reason or without reason during a 60 day
period commencing six months after the change in control. The executive is under
no obligation to mitigate amounts payable under the Employment Agreements.
 
     For purposes of the Employment Agreements, a "Change in Control" means any
of the following events: (i) the acquisition (other than from ICN or the
Company) by any person, subject to certain exceptions, of beneficial ownership,
directly or indirectly, of 20% or more of the combined voting power of ICN's or
the Company's then outstanding voting securities; (ii) the existing Board of
Directors cease for any reason to constitute at least two-thirds of the Board,
unless the election, or nomination for election by ICN's or the Company's
stockholders, of any new director was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds
of the existing Board of Directors; or (iii) approval by stockholders of ICN or
the Company of (iv) a merger or consolidation involving ICN or the Company if
the stockholders of ICN or the Company, immediately before such merger or
consolidation, do not, as a result of such merger or consolidation, own,
directly or indirectly, more than eighty percent of the combined voting power of
the then outstanding voting securities of ICN or the Company resulting from such
merger or consolidation in substantially the same proportion as their ownership
of the combined voting power of the voting securities of ICN or the Company
outstanding immediately before such merger or consolidation, or (v) a complete
liquidation or dissolution of ICN or the Company or an agreement for the sale or
other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of ICN or the
Company. Removal of ICN's or the Company's Board of Directors would constitute a
change in control under the Employment Agreements.
 
     If all of the employees of the Company, including Mr. Panic, who have
entered into Employment Agreements were to receive change in control payments in
1993, the total amount that would be payable under those Employment Agreements
aggregates approximately $6,883,064 (based on present compensation and excluding
certain non-cash benefits which would be received).
 
COMPENSATION REPORT
 
     In 1993 the Compensation Committee ("Committee") was composed of two
independent non-employee directors, Mr. Lenagh and Mr. Dale. Mr. Dale passed
away at the end of 1993. A new member of the committee will be appointed at the
next board meeting.
 
                                        7
<PAGE>   8
 
     The following statement made by the members of the Committee shall not be
deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of
1933 or under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and shall not otherwise be
deemed filed under such Acts.
 
     Compensation Philosophy
 
     The Board of Directors adopts an annual and financial plan which
incorporated the goals and objectives to be achieved by the Company and the
specific operating units. The goals focus on growth in operating income and
growth in earnings per share. Each executive is responsible for the performance
of their unit in relation to the plan. Specific goals and objectives for each
executive are reviewed by the executive and their supervisor. In reviewing the
annual performance which will determine the executive's compensation, the
supervisor assesses a performance grade based on the pre-set performance
objectives. This assessment is used to determine base salary for the following
fiscal year. The salaries and bonuses of Mr. Panic, Chief Executive Officer, and
Mr. MacDonald, President, were paid and charged to the Company by ICN and
reviewed by the ICN Compensation Committee. The members of the ICN Compensation
Committee are different individuals than those on the Committee, although the
criteria used by them to determine compensation are the same. With respect to
ICN, eligibility for bonus awards for Mr. Panic, Mr. Giordani and Mr. MacDonald
was based on the pre-set performance guidelines and growth in operating income
and earnings per share. However, payment of bonuses may be paid even when these
objective standards are not met if specific contributions by an employee merit a
bonus or the reason for failure to meet the objective standards are beyond the
control of the Company and/or the employee. Growth in earnings per share goals
for the Company were not met in 1992, primarily due to a restructuring of the
Company. No bonuses were paid to executives in 1993 as the performance goals of
the Company were not met. Stock options are granted based on a program developed
for the Company by Towers Perrin, a compensation consulting company. Each
individual's base number of options is derived from a formula which ties to
their base salary. The Committee may then consider the achievement of individual
as well as corporate performance goals in determining the ultimate number of
options granted.
 
     The compensation of executives consists of salary, a bonus plan to reward
performance and a long-term incentive stock option program.
 
     Base Salary
 
     Salaries are paid within certain grades which are established by the Human
Resources Department reviewing data of other like companies in the same
industry. The Company reviewed salary surveys prepared by Coopers & Lybrand and
Towers Perrin. These surveys did not state which companies participated in the
surveys. The salary levels were in the median range of compensation for similar
positions. Grades are updated to reflect changes in the marketplace. The
salaries of executives are reviewed on an annual basis by supervisory managers
and the Committee.
 
     Bonus Plan
 
     During 1988, the Company adopted an Incentive Bonus Plan which is based on
target goals of growth in both operating income and earnings per share.
Individual performance goals are compared against the target goals established.
Recommendations are made by individual supervisors and approved by the
Committee.
 
     Long-Term Stock Incentive Plans
 
     Stock options are granted as long range incentives to executives. Options
vest over a ten year period. Options are granted at fair market value. The
amount of options granted is tied to salary and performance and each grant is
evaluated. No grant to executives is automatic.

marketplace. Normally, executives are reviewed annually; however, in 1992, only
certain executives were reviewed with an eye to retaining them as in 1992
performance of the Company was below expectations in 1993 executives base
salaries were not reviewed due to the Companies' performance.
 
     Bonus Plan
 
     The Company adopted a bonus plan in 1993 which is directly tied to results
of operations and if results are achieved a portion of the operating profit will
accrue to the bonus pool. Individual performance of key employees is evaluated
and employees are rewarded within stated guidelines.
 
     Long-Term Stock Incentive Plans
 
     Stock options are granted as long range incentives to executives. Options
generally vest over a ten year period. Options are granted at fair market value
at the time of grant. The amount of options granted is tied to salary and
performance and each grant is evaluated. No grant is automatic other than yearly
grants pursuant to a provision of the 1992 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan which
provides for automatic non-discretionary annual grants to outside directors.
Currently this grant is fixed as an option for 10,000 shares of common stock to
be granted on the first business day following the day of each respective annual
meeting.
 
     The Committee determines the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer
based on a number of factors. The goal of the Committee is to grant compensation
consistent with compensation granted to other chief executive officers of
companies in the same industry. The Chief Executive Officer's compensation is
comprised of a base salary and based on the Company's performance special
one-time bonuses will be paid, at the Committee's discretion, based on special
contributions made to the Company. Mr. Milan Panic is compensated by ICN
pursuant to an employment agreement with ICN (see "Executive Compensation").
Substantial bonuses are approved by the Board of Directors. With respect to Mr.
Jerney, when he became Chief Executive Officer of the Company during Mr. Panic's
paid leave of absence, Mr. Jerney's compensation was increased based on a salary
survey conducted at the time by the Committee of other chief executive officers'
compensation.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
     In October 1984, ICN, Viratek and SPI formed an Oversight Committee to
review transactions between or among the corporations. In October 1986, a
representative of the Company joined the Oversight Committee. For additional
information regarding that Committee, see "Information Concerning Nominees and
Directors -- Committees and Meetings of the Board of Directors."
 
     Effective December 1, 1986, ICN and its affiliates have adopted an
investment policy covering intercompany advances and interest rates, and the
type of investment acquisitions (marketable equity securities, high-yield bonds,
etc.) to be made by ICN and its affiliates. As a result of this policy, excess
cash held by the Company is transferred to ICN and in turn, invested by ICN and
cash advances have been made by ICN to the Company to fund acquisitions and
certain other transactions. ICN charges interest at the prime rate plus  1/2%
and credits interest at the prime rate less  1/2% on the amounts invested or
advanced. Interest (income) expense, related to this balance was $420,000,
$314,000, and ($218,000) for 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively, at average
interest rates of approximately 6.5%, 6.75%, and 7.9%, respectively.
 
     In accordance with this investment policy, the Company advanced the net
proceeds of the Company's Bio Capital Holding Swiss Franc public offering,
completed in February 1987, to ICN. These advances are payable to the Company by
ICN in Swiss Francs. At March 1, 1991 the Company converted to an advance due
from ICN of SFr.14,386,000 into $10,849,000. As a result of this change, the
Company removed the hedge from its Swiss franc liability and recorded
translation gains of $151,000, $758,000 and $170,000 in 1993, 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
 
     On September 24, 1990, ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc. issued 123,750 shares of
ICN Biomedicals, Inc. registered Common Stock owned by ICN to DG Bank in payment
of costs incurred by the Company totaling SFr 985,350 ($772,200) in connection
with the amendment to certain terms of the 5 1/2% Swiss Franc Exchangeable
Certificates. These costs were charged to the Company by ICN.
 
     In connection with the acquisition of Flow, the Company obtained a
$27,000,00 revolving line of credit from First City. As of November 30, 1990,
the loan agreement was amended to provide for a Revolving Credit Facility of
$10,000,000 and Term Loan Facility of $10,500,000. As of December 31, 1991, the
outstanding balances were $10,000,000 and $6,300,000, respectively. At March 30,
1992, First City issued a commitment for the restructuring of the existing First
City debt whereby ICN became primarily liable for the debt and Biomedicals
became a guarantor of the debt. Biomedicals transferred the oustanding balance
of the debt ($13,072,000 plus accrued interest) to ICN as of April 1, 1992.
Terms of the commitment eliminated the Company's maintenance of certain
financial ratio covenants. Substantially all of the Company's domestic assets
remained pledged as collateral. The debt was repaid in full by ICN on December
3, 1992 pursuant to a repayment schedule and all pledges were extinguished.
 
     On January 1, 1992, the Company and Viratek entered into an agreement
whereby Viratek performs Biomedicals' research and development and the Company
retains a right of first refusal to marketing and distribution rights. Viratek
will receive a royalty on developed products. Products being developed on or
prior to January 1, 1992, remain with the Company.
 
     On March 31, 1992, the Company transferred $2,711,184 of debt owed Skopbank
of Finland to ICN for 500,334 shares of the Company's common stock at $5.42, the
closing market price on March 31, 1992 less a 15% discount. ICN became primarily
liable for the debt and the Company became primary guarantor.
 
     On March 31, 1992, the Company issued 892,703 shares of its common stock at
$5.42, the closing market price on March 31, 1992 less a discount of 15% in
exchange for the retirement of $4,837,000 of intercompany debt owed to ICN
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
 
                                       12

     On December 31, 1992, the Company exchanged $11,250,000 of debt owed to ICN
for 3,214,286 shares of the Company's common stock issued to ICN at a price of
$3.50 per share which represents the closing market price of the stock on that
date.
 
     On December 31, 1992, the Company transferred $5,747,000 of debt owed to a
major supplier, to ICN. ICN became primarily liable for the debt and the Company

     On August 30, 1992, the Company issued 300,000 shares of a new series "A"
of the Company's non-convertible, non-voting, preferred stock valued pursuant to
a fairness opinion, at $30,000,000 to ICN. In exchange, ICN delivered 4,983,606
shares of the Company's common stock that ICN owned and exchanged intercompany
debt owed to ICN by the Company in the amount of $11,000,000. On August 30,
1993, the Company issued 390,000 shares of a new series "B" of the Company's
non-convertible, non-voting, preferred stock valued pursuant to a fairness
opinion, at $32,000,000 to ICN. In exchange, ICN delivered to the Company
8,384,843 shares of the Company's common stock that ICN owned. Subsequent to the
exchange, the Company had 9,033,623 common shares issued and outstanding.
Subject to declaration by the Company's Board of Directors, the new series "A"
preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $8, noncumulative, payable quarterly
and the new series "B" preferred stock pays an annual dividend of $10,
noncumulative, payable quarterly. Both series "A" and "B" preferred stock become
cumulative in respect to dividends upon certain events deemed to be a change in
control, as defined by the certificates of designation. The series "B" preferred
dividends are subject to the prior rights of the holders of the series "A"
preferred stock and any other preferred stock ranking prior to the series "B"
preferred. The series "A" preferred stock is senior in ranking to the series "B"
preferred stock and the series "B" preferred stock is senior to the Company's
common stock as to voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding
up of the affairs of the Company, after payment or provision for payment of the
debts and other liabilities of the Company. The holders of the series "A"
preferred shares are entitled to receive an amount in cash or in property,
including securities of another corporation, equal to $100 per share in
involuntary liquidation or $106 per share in voluntary liquidation prior to
August 31, 1994 and declining ratably per year to $100 per share after 1998,
plus dividends, in the event dividends have become cumulative. The holders of
the series "B" preferred shares are entitled to receive an amount in cash or in
property, including securities of another corporation equal to $100 per share in
voluntary or involuntary liquidation, plus dividends, in the event dividends
have become cumulative. The series "A" and "B" preferred shares are redeemable,
for cash or property, including securities of another corporation, in whole or
in part, at the option of the Company only, subject to approval by a vote of a
majority of the independent directors of the Company. The series "A" preferred
shares are redeemable at $106 per share prior to August 31, 1994 and declining
ratably per year to $100 in 1998, plus dividends, in the event dividends have
become cumulative. The series "B" shares are redeemable at $100 per share, plus
dividends, in the event dividends have become cumulative. There were no
dividends declared on the Series "A" or Series "B" preferred stock during 1993.
 
     The Company subleases space on a month-to-month basis in Costa Mesa,
California, pursuant to an oral lease with ICN at an annual rental of $310,000,
which rental was determined under a formula based on a proportionate usage of
the facility by various ICN subsidiaries and affiliates.
 
     Costs for certain common services at the Company's subleased space in Costa
Mesa, California, such as maintenance, food services and personnel, are incurred
by SPI, a co-tenant, and allocated to Biomedicals based upon services utilized.
 
     Management of the Company believes that the foregoing transactions with ICN
and ICN affiliates have been effected on terms no more or less favorable than
could be obtained from third parties. Any future material transactions between
the Company and its officers, directors, principal stockholders or affiliates
will be effected only on terms which disinterested directors will have
determined to be no more or less favorable to the Company than could be obtained
from third parties, and the Company does not expect that any preference will be
given to the interests of the Company or its affiliates. However, there can be
no assurance that the terms of the foregoing transactions or the future
development of ICN or other ICN affiliates will not adversely affect the
prospects of the Company.
