                BIOJECT MEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                    NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   THE COMPANY:

     The consolidated financial statements of Bioject Medical Technologies 
Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), include the accounts of Bioject 
Medical Technologies Inc. ("BMT") and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Bioject 
Medical Systems Ltd. ("BMSL") and Bioject Inc. ("BI"). All significant 
intercompany transactions have been eliminated. BMT was incorporated on 
December 17, 1992 under the laws of the State of Oregon for the purpose of 
acquiring all of the outstanding common shares of BMSL in exchange for an 
equivalent number of common shares of BMT stock under a plan of U.S. 
reincorporation approved by the Company's shareholders on November 20, 1992. 
BMSL was incorporated on February 14, 1985, under the laws of British 
Columbia, and BI was incorporated on February 8, 1985, under the laws of the 
State of Oregon.
 
     The Company commenced operations in 1985 for the purpose of developing, 
manufacturing and distributing a new drug delivery system. Since its 
formation, the Company has been engaged principally in organizational, 
financing, research and development, and marketing activities. In the last 
quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company launched U.S. distribution of its 
Biojector 2000 system primarily to the hospital and large clinic market. 
The Company's products and manufacturing operations are subject to extensive 
government regulation, both in the U.S. and abroad. In the U.S., the 
development, manufacture, marketing and promotion of medical devices is 
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FFDCA"). In 1987, the Company received clearance from
the FDA under Section 510(k) of the FFDCA to market a hand-held CO2-powered 
jet injection system. In June 1994, the Company received clearance from the 
FDA under 510(k) to market a version of its Biojector 2000 system in a 
configuration targeted at high volume injection applications.

     The Company's revenues to date have been derived primarily from licensing
and technology fees and more recently from sales of the Biojector 2000 system 
and Biojector syringes to public health clinics and to Health Management Inc. 
with whom the Company signed a two-year distribution agreement in fiscal 
1995. Subsequent to year end this agreement was cancelled. Although not 
obligated to do so, the Company agreed to repurchase a portion of the goods 
sold. Future revenues will depend upon acceptance and use by healthcare
providers of the Company's jet injection technology. Uncertainties over
government regulation and competition in the healthcare industry may impact
healthcare provider expenditures and third party payer reimbursements and, 
accordingly, the Company cannot predict what impact, if any, subsequent
healthcare reforms might have on its business. In the future the Company may 
require additional financing. Failure to obtain such financing on favorable 
terms could adversely affect the Company's business.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 
 
INVENTORIES 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined in a
manner which approximates the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Costs
utilized for inventory valuation purposes include labor, materials and 
manufacturing overhead. Net inventories consist of the following: 
    
                                           December 31,    March 31, 
                                              1996            1996
                                           ----------      ----------
           Raw Materials                   $  606,991      $  697,694
           Work in Process                    210,000          12,467
           Finished Goods                     906,483         545,784
                                           ----------      ----------
                                           $1,723,474      $1,255,945
                                           ==========      ==========  
Page 7

During the first nine months of the fiscal year, although not obligated to do 
so, the Company committed to repurchase certain inventories from one customer.  
The purchase price totalled $660,000 of which $491,000 has been satisfied and 
the balance is still outstanding.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND LONG-TERM DEBT
In the first nine months of fiscal 1997, the Company commenced acquiring 
tooling and molds under a contract with Schering AG.  Under the contract, 
Schering agreed to advance the Company up to $1.6 million on an agreed-
upon schedule to acquire this capital equipment which was pledged to Schering 
subject to repayment of the loans. Unexpended funds advanced to the 
Company were held in a separate account and were also pledged against 
repayment of the debt.  Subsequent to quarter end, Schering notified the 
Company that it was canceling its contract.  Under the terms of the contract, 
the loan will be converted into approximately 460,000 shares of common stock 
of the Company and, therefore, repayment of the debt will not be required. 
Upon issuance of such shares, the assets will be owned by the Company free of 
any lien from Schering.

USE OF ESTIMATES 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of 
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


3.   BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The accompanying, unaudited consolidated financial statements do not
include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in an
audited financial statement.  However, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments except as
described below) necessary to present fairly the financial position, cash
flows, and results of operations have been made.  It is suggested that these
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1996.

     On June 3, 1996, the British Columbia Securities Commission informed the
Company that its Executive Director (formerly the Superintendent of Brokers) 
consented to the release of all shares originally held in escrow pursuant to 
an escrow agreement dated May 30, 1986.  This means that the 1.5 million 
shares of common stock which had been held under this escrow arrangement since
the Company's initial public offering in July 1986 are now held by the owners 
of the shares without risk of cancellation and may be sold.  As previously 
disclosed, a non-cash charge to compensation expense was required to be 
recorded for certain of the shares released from the escrow account and 
transferred to certain former employees and consultants of the Company. 
Accordingly, a non-cash charge totalling $120,000 has been recorded in the 
financial statements in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.  Effective with 
release of these shares, the escrow has been terminated and no further charges 
will be incurred by the Company as a result of the previously escrowed shares.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company has been developing a self-injection system for Schering AG, 
Germany, under a multi-year contract signed in March 1994.  On June 26, 1996, 
the Company and Schering entered into a Supply Agreement which specifies the 
terms under which the Company would manufacture and sell the self-injection 
systems to Schering.  Subject to Schering's satisfaction with certain product 
test results and receipt of regulatory approval in the United States and 
certain foreign countries, Bioject would have manufactured the self-injection 
systems exclusively for Schering AG which would have distributed the systems 
on a worldwide basis to multiple sclerosis patients using Betaseron.  During 
the quarter, the Company's activities were focused on completing pilot 
production of the self-injector in preparation for full scale manufacture and 
shipment which was expected to commence in April 1997.  Subsequent to quarter 
end, the Company was notified by Schering of Schering's intention to cancel 
its contract with Bioject.  Under provisions of the contract, Schering AG had 
the option of canceling the agreement if the FDA required extensive clinical 
studies beyond an originally planned safety study.  Schering AG recently 
received a review letter from the FDA which would have required Schering to 
conduct additional material clinical studies in order to use non-traditional 
delivery mechanisms with its Betaseron product.  The Company understands that 
the uncertain regulatory clearance schedule was a significant factor in 
Schering's decision to cancel the contract.  The Company retains the rights to 
the self-injection technology and is actively seeking other strategic partners 
for whom such a system would provide a competitive advantage.   Under terms of 
the contract, Schering must convert its $1.6 million note due from Bioject 
into approximately 460,000 shares of Bioject common stock at a conversion 
price of $3.50 per share.  In addition, Schering is obligated to pay Bioject 
for all product ordered to date.

     The Company's revenues to date have not been sufficient to cover 
operating expenses.  However, the Company believes that if its products 
achieve market acceptance and the volume of sales increases, and its product 
costs are reduced, its costs of goods as a percentage of sales will decrease 
and eventually the Company will generate net income.  (See "Forward Looking 
Statements")  The level of sales required to generate net income will be 
affected by a number of factors including the pricing of the Company's 
products, its ability to attain efficiencies that can be attained through 
volume and automated manufacturing, and the impact of inflation on the 
Company's manufacturing and other operating costs.  There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to successfully implement its manufacturing cost
reduction program or sell its products at prices or in volumes sufficient to 
achieve profitability or offset increases in its costs should they occur.

     Revenues and results of operations have fluctuated and can be expected to
continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to 
year.  Various factors may affect quarterly and yearly operating results 
including (i) length of time to close product sales, (ii) customer budget 
cycles, (iii) implementation of cost reduction measures, (iv) uncertainties 
and changes in purchasing due to third party payor policies and proposals 
relating to national healthcare reform, (v) timing and amount of payments 
under technology development agreements and (vi) timing of new product 
introductions by the Company and its competition.

     On June 3, 1996, the British Columbia Securities Commission informed the 
Company that its Executive Director (formerly the Superintendent of Brokers) 
consented to the release of all shares originally held in escrow pursuant to 
an escrow agreement dated May 30, 1986.  This means that the 1.5 million 
shares of common stock which had been held under this escrow arrangement since
the Company's initial public offering in July 1986 are now held by the owners 
of the shares without risk of cancellation and may be sold.  As previously 
disclosed, a non-cash charge to compensation expense is required to be 
recorded for certain of the shares released from the escrow account and 
transferred to certain former employees and consultants of the Company.  
Accordingly, a non-cash charge totalling $120,000 has been recorded in the 
financial statements during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

     During the last quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company will continue to 
focus its efforts on expanding sales, reducing the cost of its products, 
developing injectors for Hoffmann-La Roche, pursuing additional alliances with 
pharmaceutical companies and conserving its fiscal resources.  The Company 
does not expect to report net income from operations in fiscal 1997.  (See 
Forward Looking Statements).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31,1996 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED DECEMBER 31,1995. 
Product sales decreased from $962,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to 
$326,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997. Sales in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1996 included approximately $700,000 of sales to Health Management 
Inc., and the remainder to public health clinics.  Product sales in the third 
quarter of fiscal 1997 consisted primarily of sales to public health clinics 
and for flu season immunizations. The decrease in product sales was directly 
attributable to the previously announced suspension of shipments to HMI.  
License and technology fees decreased from $375,000 in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1996 to $80,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.  Both quarters 
consisted of product development fees recognized for work performed to develop 
a self injection device for the administration of Betaseron to multiple 
sclerosis patients under an agreement with Schering, AG, and product 
development fees for work to develop proprietary drug delivery systems under 
an agreement with Hoffmann-La Roche.  The decrease in fees reflected the 
fluctuation of timing of strategic partner development payments.

     Manufacturing expense decreased from the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to 
the third quarter of fiscal 1997 by $931,000.  This decrease was the result 
of the decline in product sales and the elimination of certain excess 
materials and labor costs incurred in connection with the testing of Biojector 
unibody prototypes in the comparable period of the prior year. Research and 
development expenses declined from $442,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 
1996 to $313,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 due to fluctuations in 
out-of-pocket expenses associated with the Schering and Hoffmann-La Roche 
projects. Selling, general and administrative expense declined from $827,000 
in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to $768,000 in the third quarter 
of fiscal 1997.  The slight decrease was due to normal variations in the 
timing of some expenses.

     Other income consists of earnings on available cash balances. Other 
income decreased from $39,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to $15,000 
in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as a result of decreases in cash 
balances.





Page 10






NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 
1995. Revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1996 consist of $845,000 
in product sales and $666,000 in product development fees. This compares to 
$2.6 million from product sales (77% of which were to HMI) and $825,000 in 
product development fees earned in the comparable period in the prior year. 
The decrease in product sales was directly attributable to the previously
announced suspension of shipments to HMI. Licensing and technology fees 
consist entirely of product development fees recognized as revenue under the 
Schering and Hoffmann-La Roche contracts.

Manufacturing costs decreased from $4.2 million in the first nine months of 
the prior year to $1.6 million in the comparable period in the current year. 
This decrease was due to lower product sales and, therefore, corresponding 
decreases in the costs of product sold. It was also due to the elimination of 
excess labor and materials associated with qualifying the syringe automation 
equipment for production and to costs associated with Biojector unibody 
prototype testing and qualification. Research and product development expenses 
decreased approximately $165,000 due to fluctuation in prototype and other 
out-of-pocket expenses. Selling, general and administrative costs decreased 
approximately $166,000 due primarily to reduced personnel expenses.

Other income consists of earnings on available cash balances. Other income 
decreased in relation to the comparable periods the prior year as a result of 
decreases in cash balances.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Since its inception in 1985, the Company has financed its operations, 
working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from private 
placements of securities, exercises of stock options, proceeds received from 
its initial public offering in 1986, proceeds received from a public offering 
of Common Stock in November 1993, licensing and technology revenues and more 
recently from sales of products and private placements of common stock 
completed in November 1995 and December 1996. Net proceeds received upon 
issuance of securities from inception through December 31, 1996 totalled 
approximately $38.0 million.

     Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totalled, $2.5 million 
at December 31, 1996 and $4.1 million at March 31, 1996. The decrease 
resulted primarily from operating losses and from reductions in certain short 
term liabilities, net of proceeds received in the private placement in 
December 1996.

     Inventories increased from $1.3 million at March 31, 1996 to $1.7 million
at December 31, 1996, due to the repurchase of certain inventories from HMI.  
The Company has committed to repurchase an additional $169,000 in inventories. 
The repurchase of these inventories was optional and was at a substantial 
discount to the original selling price to HMI.

     The Company will expend approximately $1.6 million for capital equipment 
in fiscal 1997. Substantially all of these expenditures are related to ramp-up 
of manufacturing for the Schering product launch.  These expenditures were 
funded by loans from Schering. During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997, these 
loans will be converted into approximately 460,000 shares of common stock of 
the Company and the equipment will be owned free of lien by Schering.

    The Company believes that its current cash position combined with revenues 
and other cash receipts will be adequate to fund the Company's operations to 
the second quarter of fiscal 1998. (See "Forward Looking Statements"). 
Thereafter, the Company will require additional financing. However, unforeseen 
costs and expenses or lower than anticipated cash receipts from product sales 
or research and development activities could accelerate the financing 
requirements. The Company has been successful in raising additional financing 
in the past and believes that sufficient funds will be available to fund 
future operations. (See "Forward Looking Statements"). However, there can be 
no assurance that such financing will be available on favorable terms or at 
all. Failure to obtain additional financing when required would significantly 
restrict the Company's operations and ability to continue product development, 
and materially adversely affect the Company's business. The Company has no 
banking line of credit or other established source of borrowing.
