These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of operations for the period ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Effective October 1, 1994, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board Statement No. 115 (SFAS 115), Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
and Equity Securities.  Pursuant to SFAS No. 115, the Company has categorized

INCOME TAXES
Effective October 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial

implementation of this standard had no material impact on the Company's
reported financial position or results of operations.

The Company accounts for certain revenue and expense items differently for
income tax purposes than for financial reporting purposes.  These differences
arise principally from methods used in accounting for stock options,
depreciation rates, clinical trials, and amortization associated with acquired
technologies.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of
common stock outstanding during the period.  Unexercised stock options and
warrants are excluded from such computations because their effect on net loss
per share would be antidilutive.

SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 are

Note 3 - Long-Term Debt

On June 30, 1992, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Agritope, Inc.
(Agritope), completed a private placement with several European institutional
investors pursuant to which $5,495,000 of convertible notes were issued.  The
notes are unsecured, mature on June 30, 1997 and bear interest at the rate of
4% per annum which is payable on each June 30 and December 31 until all
outstanding principal and interest on the notes have been paid in full.  In
the event of an initial public offering of Agritope common stock, the notes
would be automatically converted to shares of Agritope common stock at 90% of
the public offering price.  Costs incurred in connection with the debt
issuance are included in other assets and are being amortized over the
five-year life of the notes.  Amortization expense of debt issuance costs for
the nine months ended June 30, 1995 amounted to $72,950, leaving an

investors exchanged $449,991 and $369,976, respectively, principal amount of
convertible notes.  In conjunction with the exchanges, unamortized debt
issuance costs of $22,495 and $28,619 related to such notes were recognized as
equity issuance costs.

Note 4 - Shareholders' Equity

On March 29, 1995 the Company announced that it would extend the expiration
date and modify certain terms for several series of warrants that were
originally scheduled to expire on April 22, 1995.

The action involved warrants issued in private placements, to purchase 1.3
million shares of Epitope common stock at a price of $14-7/8 per share,
478,100 shares at a price of $17-7/8 per share and 375,000 shares at a price
of $20 per share. Through December 31, 1995, holders of warrants originally
exercisable at $14-7/8 may exercise such warrants at a price of $16 per share. 
On January 1, 1996, through September 30, 1996, the exercise price for such
warrants will be increased to $18-1/2 per share.  For holders of the warrants
originally exercisable at $17-7/8 per share, the exercise price was increased
to $18-1/2 per share effective April 23, 1995, through a new expiration date
of March 31, 1997.  The $20 per share warrants may be exercised at that price
until March 31, 1997. Holders exercising any of the extended warrants after
April 22, 1995 may not sell the newly acquired shares for a period of sixty
days following date of purchase.

Note 5 - Divestiture of Certain Operations

VINIFERA, INC. 
On June 1, 1995, the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Agritope, Inc.
(Agritope) sold its equity interest in Vinifera, Inc. (Vinifera) to VF
Holding, Inc. (VF) an affiliate of a Swiss investment group. The purchase
price includes $3.9 million which was due on June 15, 1995, $2 million due in
November 1995 and up to $5 million in earnout payments based on gross profits
of Vinifera. VF also agreed to contribute $4 million of operating funds to
Vinifera, of which $450,000 was paid on June 1, 1995. Agritope has designated
a representative to serve on Vinifera's board of directors. Agritope has also
agreed to conduct research and diagnostic testing services for Vinifera and to
lease its Woodburn, Oregon, farm and greenhouse facilities to Vinifera for an
interim period of at least one year until Vinifera relocates its operations
nearer to its U.S. customer base in northern California. Vinifera will also
purchase administrative support services from the Company for a one-year
transition period.

The $3.9 million installment due June 15, 1995 has not been paid. VF has
advised Agritope that the payment will be made by August 31, 1995. VF has
further advised the Company that, by August 31, 1995, it also intends to pay
the $2 million installment which is due in November. Agritope has retained
5,000,000 shares of Vinifera common stock and a security interest in the
assets of Vinifera to secure the VF obligation. Agritope discontinued funding
Vinifera operations as of June 1, 1995, when Vinifera commenced utilizing the
initial capital contribution of $450,000 from VF to fund  its operations.  The
Company has deferred any recognition of gain on this transaction.  Any gain on
this sale will be recognized as sales proceeds are collected.

AGRIMAX, INC.
On June 7, 1995, Agritope's wholly owned subsidiary, Agrimax, Inc. (Agrimax)
completed formation of a new venture in North Carolina to conduct its
Charlotte, North Carolina fresh flower business. The new unit, Fresche
Blossoms, L.L.C. (FB) will be operated by the shareholders of Universal
American Flowers, Inc. (UAF). The parties are to decide by August 31, 1995
whether to proceed with a merger of FB into UAF. If the merger is consummated,
Agrimax will contribute its Charlotte equipment to the combined entity and
will receive an estimated 18% equity interest in the combined entity. If the
merger is not consummated, FB will be liquidated and the net proceeds will be
distributed to Agrimax and the other members of FB in proportion to their
capital accounts.

The UAF shareholders contributed management assistance to FB plus customer
lists and retail accounts from the states of Georgia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee in exchange for a 60% interest in profits and
losses of FB. Agrimax contributed rent-free use of equipment at its Charlotte
facility and its Charlotte inventories, store displays and operating supplies
having a book value of approximately $580,000 to FB in exchange for a 40%
interest in the profit and losses of FB. Agrimax also agreed to lend to FB not
more than $400,000 for working capital, if needed, and granted FB an exclusive
license to use its Fresche Blossoms(R), Everguard(R), and Fresche Blossoms
Express(TM) trademarks as well as the formula for its proprietary floral
preservative. The book value of Agrimax inventory and equipment is included in
the accompanying financial statements under the caption "Investment in
unconsolidated subsidiary."
