HEMACARE CORPORATION 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and General Information 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of 
HemaCare Corporation (the "Company" or "HemaCare") have been prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q 
and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include 
all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted 
accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In the 
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring 
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1996 
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for 
the year ending December 31, 1996.  Certain 1995 amounts have been 
reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.  For further 
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

From 1990 to November 1995, the Company, through its wholly owned 
subsidiary, HemaBiologics, Inc. ("HBI"), conducted research and 
development of ImmupathTM, an anti-HIV hyperimmune plasma-based 
product intended to be used in the treatment of Acquired Immune 
Deficiency Syndrome ("AIDS").  The Company had a license agreement 
with Medicorp, Inc. ("Medicorp") for the rights to the United States 
patent to commercialize Immupath.  In November 1995, the Company's
Board of Directors decided to discontinue the operations of HBI.  
(Notes 2 and 5).

In September 1995, the Company formed Gateway Community Blood Program, 
Inc. ("Gateway"), a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Missouri, 
to provide blood products and services in portions of Missouri and 
Illinois.

The Company opened its University of Southern California Blood Center 
("USC Blood Center"), a full-service blood donation and services 
facility, in February 1996.  The USC Blood Center facility is leased 
from USC and is staffed and operated by HemaCare under its Food and 
Drug Administration ("FDA") license.  Located on the USC Health 
Sciences Campus in Los Angeles, California, the center provides 
services to the USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospital 
and the USC University Hospital (the "USC Hospitals").  The USC 
Hospitals have agreed that HemaCare will be their primary provider of 
blood products and therapeutic services for the three-year period 
ending February 1999.  Pathologists on the USC medical faculty provide 
medical direction services for the USC Blood Center as consultants to 
the Company.

Note 2 - Discontinued Operations

In November 1995, the Company's Board of Directors decided to 
discontinue the operations of HBI, including the research and 
development of Immupath and the associated specialty plasma business. 
In connection with this decision, the Company wrote off the remaining 
book value of HBI's assets and provided a reserve for estimated 
operating losses from the November 30, 1995 measurement date through 
December 1996, the expected date of substantial completion of 
disposal.  The loss on the disposition of HBI's operations has been 

                                6

<PAGE>   7

accounted for as discontinued operations, and prior year financial
statements have been restated to reflect the discontinuation of these 
operations.  Revenues from such operations for the three months ended 
March 31, 1995 were $70,000.  Net loss from discontinued operations 
for the first quarter of 1996 of $90,000 reduced the reserve for 
discontinued operations.  The operating loss reserve was estimated 
based on the best available information.  However, actual operating 
losses during the disposition period may differ from the estimate.  
The Company has been actively pursuing a sale of HBI's research and 
development and associated specialty plasma assets, and in May 1996, 
the Company signed a definitive agreement to sell substantially all 
the tangible assets of the discontinued operations and two of the 
three remaining FDA source plasma licenses.  Closing of the sale is 
contingent upon obtaining FDA approval to transfer the licenses to the 
purchaser and certain other conditions.

Note 3 - Line of Credit

Since August 1991, the Company has maintained a line of credit with a 
commercial bank secured by its accounts receivable, inventory and 
equipment.  At March 31, 1996, the Company was in technical violation 
of certain of the covenants of its credit line agreement, due to the 
write off of the assets of its discontinued operations (Note 2).  
However, its lender had waived compliance with these covenants through 
April 30, 1996, the credit line expiration date.  Effective May 1, 
1996, the credit line was renewed through April 30, 1997.   Under the 
terms of the new credit line agreement, the Company may borrow up to 
70% of eligible accounts receivable, up to a maximum of $700,000 and 
must maintain certain ratios and achieve defined operating objectives, 
including maintaining a tangible net worth of not less than $370,000 
prior to September 30, 1996 and not less than $2 million thereafter.  
Interest on credit line borrowings is at the lender's prime rate 
(8.25% at March 31, 1996) plus one-half of a percentage point.  There 
were no borrowings outstanding on the credit line at March 31, 1996.  
On April 17, 1996 and May 7, 1996, the Company borrowed $200,000 and 
$100,000, respectively, under the line of credit. 

Note 4 - Shareholders' Equity

In April 1994, HemaCare sold 250,000 units consisting of one share of 
common stock and three warrants to purchase additional shares (at 
$4.00 per unit) in an offshore transaction, from which it received net 
proceeds of approximately $900,000.  The second group of 250,000 
warrants was fully exercised in the first quarter of 1995 and yielded 
net proceeds of approximately $350,000.  In consideration of this 
exercise, which was made 45 days prior to the expiration date, a 
fourth group of 250,000 warrants exercisable at a price of $3.50 per 
share and expiring in December 1998 was granted to the purchaser.  The 
third group of 250,000 warrants was exercised in June and July 1995, 
yielding net proceeds of approximately $390,000.  The fourth group of 
options remains outstanding at March 31, 1996.  In connection with the 
sale of the units and the subsequent exercise of related warrants, the 
Company granted to the finder warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of 
the Company's common stock (Finder Warrants).  The Finder Warrants 
expire five years from their issue date and are exercisable at prices 
ranging from $1.45 to $4.00.  Up to 12,500 additional Finder Warrants 
may be issued at $3.50 per share, depending on the number of the 
fourth group of 250,000 warrants which are exercised.

In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for 
Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").  SFAS 123 recommends changes 

                                7
<PAGE>  8

in accounting for employee stock based compensation plans and requires
certain disclosures with  respect to these plans.  The Company will 
adopt SFAS 123 prior to December 31, 1996.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

On March 11, 1994, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by a 
former employee against the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, 
HBI, in the Superior Court of the State of California, related to the 
termination of this employee and seeking relief in the amount of 
$550,000.  At this stage in the proceedings, neither management nor 
counsel are in a position to evaluate the probable merits of the claim 
asserted by this former employee.  Accordingly, the resolution of this 
lawsuit could have a material impact on the Company's financial 
conditions and results of operations.

In September 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent to make 
royalty payments to certain parties in consideration of certain 
commitments to the establishment of Gateway.  The definitive agreement 
providing for the payment of these royalties has not been completed 
due to a dispute with one of the parties.  The letter of intent 
provides for cash royalties of 20% of Gateway's cash flow, as defined, 
and shares of HemaCare common stock with a value equal to the cash 
royalty, up to a maximum of 500,000 shares of HemaCare common stock.  
Royalty payments commence after the Company recovers its initial 
investment in Gateway, including capital expenditures and operating 
deficits, and terminate in 2003.

In November 1995, the Company terminated its license agreement with 
Medicorp (Note 1) due to a default by the license holder.  The Company 
also notified Medicorp that the stock purchase warrants (exercisable 
for 400,000 shares of HemaCare common stock at $5.50 per share) issued 
by the Company to Medicorp had terminated under their terms, due to 
the default.  Medicorp has denied that it has breached the license 
agreement and has alleged that the Company is liable for royalties 
under the license agreement of approximately $425,000 and that its 
warrants remain outstanding.  The Company intends to vigorously defend 
any legal action which may result from this dispute.

In February 1996, the Company terminated an agreement with a vendor, 
based on an unsatisfactory level of performance of the vendor's 
product.  The vendor is disputing the basis for the termination.  The 
Company intends to vigorously defend any legal action which may result 
from this dispute, and the resolution of this matter is not expected 
to have a material impact on the Company's financial position or 
results of operations.

Note 6 - Related Party Information

In 1995 and 1994, the Company made a series of personal loans to 
Joshua Levy totaling $98,307.  The proceeds of these loans were used 
to refinance existing debt which was collateralized by HemaCare stock 
owned by Dr. Levy.  In January 1996, these individual notes were 
consolidated into a promissory note, collateralized by HemaCare stock 
owned by Dr. Levy, which accrues interest at a rate equal to the rate 
the Company pays under its line of credit (Note 3), adjusted 
quarterly.  Interest accrued related to the loans made to Dr. Levy for 
the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 was $2,126 and $2,221, 
respectively.  The note requires four annual installment payments of

                                8
<PAGE>   9

$15,000 due on January 31, with the balance of the principal and 
accrued interest due on January 31, 2000.  The Company received its 
first annual installment payment of $15,000 in January 1996.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition 
          and Results of Operations

All comparisons within the following discussions are to the previous 
year. In late December 1995, the Gateway Community Blood Program 
("Gateway') opened in St. Louis, Missouri. The University of Southern 
California (USC) Blood Center, located in Los Angeles, California, 
opened in late February 1996. These new operations are collectively 
referred to as the "Expansion Operations" in the following 
discussions.

Revenues and Operating Profit

Revenues for the first quarter of  1996, increased 5% ($124,000), as 
the result of a 2% decrease in blood products revenues, offset by a 
17% increase in therapeutic services revenues. The Company's operating 
profit as a percentage of sales ("profit margin') decreased to 5% in 
the first quarter of 1996 from 27% in the comparable quarter of 1995 
due to start-up losses incurred by the Expansion Operations.  The 
Company's first quarter gross profit margin before the effect of the 
Expansion Operations was 27%.

Blood Products

The 2% ($42,000) decrease in blood products revenues for the first 
quarter of 1996 was due to decreased unit sales of  apheresis 
platelets (10%) and whole-blood component  products (8%), partially 
offset by price increases for both products.  Revenue from Expansion 
Operations totaled $59,000 for the 1996 quarter.

Before the effect of the Expansion Operations, first quarter 1996 
operating costs and expenses approximated the 1995 amount, but the 
1996 profit margin decreased to 23% as compared to 28% in 1995.  The 
lower 1996 profit margin was due to (1) a higher number of imported 
products sold in the 1996 quarter and (2) higher fixed costs per sale 
as a result of a lower volume of units sold.  The first quarter loss 
from Expansion Operations was $559,000.

Blood Services

Blood services revenues increased 17% ($166,000) in the first quarter 
of 1996, primarily as a result of a 6% increase in the number of 
therapeutic procedures performed in Los Angeles and a 26% increase in 
therapeutic procedures performed in northern Georgia.  Both locations 
also experienced an increase in the price per procedure in 1996. 

The profit margin on blood services increased to 29% in the first 
quarter of 1996 from 28% in the comparable period of 1995.  This 
increase was due to (1) lower fixed costs per procedure resulting from 
the higher number of 1996 procedures and (2) costs incurred in the 
1995 quarter associated with the development of a new therapeutic 
procedure, partially offset by a $47,000 adjustment in materials 
inventory related to a prior period. 

                                  9

<PAGE>  10

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased 29% ($139,000) in the 
first quarter of  1996. The increase was primarily due to changes in 
the Company's corporate structure necessary to implement its national 
expansion strategy, including the addition of a business development 
department.

Discontinued Operations 

In November 1995, the Company discontinued its Immupath related 
research and development activities and established a reserve for 
operating losses and contingent liabilities related to the disposal of 
the research and development and related specialty plasma businesses. 
Although the disposal reserve was estimated based on the best 
available information, actual losses during the disposition period may 
vary from the estimate.  The Company is actively pursuing a sale of 
the assets of the discontinued operations. (See "Liquidity and Capital 
Resources".)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 1996, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of 
$820,000 and working capital of $1,055,000.  The Company's blood 
products and services businesses, other than the Expansion Operations, 
are profitable and cash flow positive. 

The Company has a $700,000 line of credit with a commercial bank which 
is in effect through April 30, 1997.  Under the terms of the credit 
line agreement, the Company may borrow up to 70% of its eligible 
accounts receivable and must maintain certain operating ratios and 
achieve defined operating objectives, including maintaining a tangible 
net worth of not less than $370,000 through September 29, 1996 and 
$2,000,000 thereafter.  In order to comply with the tangible net worth 
covenant after September 1996, the Company will be required to 
increase its shareholder equity through the sale of additional equity 
securities.  The Company is currently exploring various financing 
alternatives, but no assurance can be given that one or more financing 
transactions adequate to satisfy these covenants will be completed on 
a timely basis or at all.  At March 31, 1996, there were no borrowings 
outstanding on the credit line.  On April 17, 1996 and May 7, 1996 the 
Company borrowed $200,000 and $100,000, respectively under the credit 
line.

Operating under the terms of its three-year agreements which end in 
February 1999, the USC Blood Center provides services to USC 
University Hospital and the USC/Kenneth Norris Comprehensive Cancer 
Center and Hospital (the "USC Hospitals").  The Company is the primary 
provider of blood products and services to the USC Hospitals and is 
entitled to recoup the cost of tenant improvements for the USC Center 
through surcharges to the Hospitals.  Until its operations reach break 
even, the Company will be required to fund the USC Blood Center=s cash 
flow deficits. 

Gateway began conducting blood drives in December 1995.  Competing in 
many of the same markets as the American Red Cross, Gateway is 
currently developing its donor and customer bases.  Management 
believes that Gateway will be able to capture a sufficient portion of 
the sales of blood products and services in its target markets to 
achieve profitable operations, however, the success of operations will 
be dependent on a number of factors and circumstances, many of which 
will be outside the Company's control.  Accordingly, there can be no 

                                  10
<PAGE>   11

assurance that profitable operations will be achieved.  Until
Gateway's operations achieve break even, the Company will be required 
to fund its working capital needs.

Management is evaluating a number of additional expansion 
opportunities, including blood centers and regional programs similar 
to the USC Blood Center and Gateway and operations similar to the 
Company's existing southern California business.  However, further 
expansion will require that the Company obtain additional financing.  
Various financing arrangements are under consideration, but there can 
be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain the funds 
necessary to finance additional expansion projects.

Winding down discontinued operations will require funding operating 
costs, including salaries and benefits and facilities costs, until 
disposal of these operations is complete.  A reserve for disposal, net 
of estimated proceeds from the disposition of the assets of the 
discontinued operations, was established in November 1995.  Although 
the reserve was estimated based on the best available information, 
there can be no assurance that the reserve provided will be sufficient 
to cover all disposal costs.  Approximately $90,000 of the reserve was 
funded in the first quarter of 1996.  In April, one FDA source plasma 
license was sold subject to FDA approval, and in May 1996, the Company 
signed a definitive agreement to sell substantially all the tangible 
assets of the discontinued operations and two of the three remaining 
FDA source plasma licenses.  Closing of the sale is contingent upon 
obtaining FDA approval to transfer the licenses to the purchaser and 
certain other conditions.

On March 11, 1994, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by a 
former employee against the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, 
HBI, in the Superior Court of the State of California, related to the 
termination of this employee and seeking relief in the amount of 
$550,000.  The case is still in the discovery stage in the proceedings 
and neither management nor counsel are in a position to evaluate the 
probable merits of the claim asserted by this former employee.  
Accordingly, the resolution of this lawsuit could have a material 
impact on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

In February 1996, the Company terminated an agreement with a vendor, 
based on the inability of the vendor's product to perform to the 
standards outlined in the agreement.  The vendor is disputing the 
basis for the termination.  The Company intends to vigorously defend 
any legal action which may result from this dispute, and the 
resolution of this matter is not expected to have a material impact on 
the Company's financial position or future results of operations.

The Company anticipates that positive cash flow from its profitable 
operations, its cash and investments on hand and funds available under 
its credit line will be sufficient to provide funding for the 
anticipated operating deficits of the Expansion Operations, fund the 
costs of disposing of its discontinued operations and meet its other 
working capital needs for the next 12 months.
