                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  JUNE 30, 1995
                                   (UNAUDITED)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1)      PRESENTATION OF UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all
information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.  The information furnished, in
the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments (consisting primarily of
normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as
of June 30, 1995 and September 30, 1994, and the results of operations and cash
flows of the Company for the three-month and nine-month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1994.  The results of operations are not necessarily indicative of
results which may be expected for any other interim period or for the year as a
whole.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of FiberChem, Inc. ("FCI" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries.  All
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

         Certain Fiscal 1994 Financial Statement amounts have been reclassified
to conform with the presentation in the Fiscal 1995 Financial Statements.

(2)      CAPITAL STOCK

         During Fiscal 1993 and Fiscal 1994, the Company conducted a private
placement of convertible preferred stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock").  Each
share of the Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into ten shares of FCI
Common Stock, initially at $1.50 per share.  The conversion ratio is subject to
customary anti-dilution provisions.  Dividends are cumulative and are payable
annually, at the sole discretion of the holders, in cash (11%) or additional
shares of Convertible Preferred Stock (8% of the number of shares owned at date
of declaration).  In November 1994, the Company paid cash dividends of $53,339
and issued 14,362 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock dividends.  Subsequent
to the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock dividends, the Company
reacquired 10,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock dividend for $15 per
share.  The Convertible Preferred Stock entitles the holder to a liquidation
preference of $15 per share upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company.  The Convertible Preferred Stock is redeemable by the Company when and
if the closing bid price of FCI's Common Stock is at least 200% of the
conversion price for twenty consecutive trading days.  Upon redemption, the
Company would issue ten shares of its Common Stock for each share of Convertible
Preferred Stock. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 1995 ("Nine-Month
Period 1995"), an aggregate of 8,140 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock were
voluntarily converted by holders of such shares into 81,400 shares of FCI Common
Stock.  As of June 30, 1995, the Company had 206,462 shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock issued, excluding the 10,000 shares repurchased by the Company
and held as treasury stock.

         In October 1993, the Company entered into an agreement with an
individual whereunder the individual agreed to introduce the Company to Liviakis
Financial Communications, Inc. ("Liviakis") to provide consulting services to
the Company as discussed below.  The individual received a fee of 183,500
restricted shares of FCI's Common Stock, valued at $1.09 per share, which was
equal to 10% of the fee paid to Liviakis.  The Company entered into a Consulting
Agreement with Liviakis, effective as of October 22, 1993.  Liviakis is to
provide consulting services to the Company for a 24 month period.  These
services are in connection with financial public relations, investment markets
and other matters relating to corporate finance.  Liviakis received 1,730,000
restricted shares of FCI's Common Stock (valued at $1.09 per share) in
consideration of the foregoing.  In addition, the Company also agreed to pay to
Liviakis a fee during the aforementioned period of 4,375 shares of FCI's Common
Stock per month.  Of the aggregate consideration for these agreements, the
portion attributable to services to be provided in the future has been deferred
and


                                        8
<PAGE>

is being amortized over the term of the agreement.  The Liviakis agreement
provided that Liviakis would provide a significant portion of the services
required under the agreement in the first 30-60 days of the agreement. These
activities included significant and immediate direct communications with
existing shareholders, stockbrokers and others to maintain and enhance
visibility of the Company in the financial and investment community; the
identification, discussion and analysis of candidates for possible mergers and
acquisitions; introductions to corporate financial and technical consultants;
and other financial and corporate matters.   Since these activities were not
directly attributable to capital raising activities, they have been expensed by
the Company.  The Company expensed an aggregate of $42,918 and $2,123,670
related to these agreements during the nine-month periods ending June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

         During the Nine-Month Period 1995, the Company: 1) received $47,301
from the exercise of 39,385 options at exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to
$1.63 per share; 2) received $15,056 cash and $37,133 in exchange for services
as payments on notes receivable for the exercise of stock options that were
issued during Fiscal 1994; 3) expensed an aggregate of $147,525, including the
$42,918 in expenses relating to the Liviakis agreement discussed above, in
connection with certain deferred compensation arrangements, and 4) granted an
aggregate of 367,400, 50,000 and 75,000 options to purchase FCI Common Stock to
employees, directors and to an individual for services, respectively.  These
options have exercise prices ranging from $1.00 to $1.125 per share and expire
on September 30, 1998 and September 30, 1999.  In addition, the Company granted
150,000 options to purchase FCI Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per
share to a former consultant to the Company for services. These options expired
on June 30, 1995.  All of the options granted were at exercise prices not less
than the fair market value of FCI's Common Stock at the date of grant.  On
April 7, 1995, the Company reduced the exercise price of 3,309,479 options
granted to current employees and directors during calendar 1993 and 1994 to
$1.00 per share from previous exercise prices ranging from $1.13 to $2.125 per
share.

(3)      REVENUES

         Revenues during the Nine-Month Period 1995 were from sales to the
Company's customers and its distributors, rental companies and manufacturing
representative organizations, which included customary and reasonable discounts
from the retail price. During the three-month period ended June 30, 1995 ("Third
Quarter 1995") the Company continued to establish its distribution network in
Europe and in Asian countries. Third Quarter 1995 revenues include sales to
these distributors, as well as to end customers in the United States and Canada.
Upon the further development of both the domestic sales organization and
international distribution capabilities, Management anticipates that sales
volume will continue to increase throughout the remainder of calendar 1995 to a
level which will result in profitable operations and positive cash flow on a
monthly basis; however, there can be no assurance that the projected level of
sales activity will occur.  Based on the Company's continuing equity capital
funding efforts and the Company's product sales and expected sales, Management
believes that it has adequate capital resources to continue its operations for
the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that forecasted sales
levels will be realized to achieve profitable operations.

(4)      SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On August 1, 1995 the Company reduced the exercise price of its
Class D Common Stock Purchase Warrants from $1.50 to $1.00 per share.  As of
August 1, 1995, there were 1,999,385 such warrants outstanding.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION

         The Company had working capital of $2,726,325 at June 30, 1995,
compared with working capital of $4,387,172 at September 30, 1994, a decrease of
$1,660,847.  Also, the Company had decreases in cash and cash equivalents of
$2,297,638 and in stockholders' equity of $1,835,909.  These decreases are
primarily a result of the Company's net loss for the Nine-Month Period 1995 of
$1,879,585.  In addition, during the Nine-Month Period 1995, the Company paid on
its Convertible Preferred Stock, cash dividends of $53,339 and issued 14,362
shares, valued at $215,430, of Convertible Preferred Stock dividends.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Convertible Preferred Stock dividend, the
Company reacquired 10,000 shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock dividend for
$150,000 or $15 per share.

         The Company had net cash used in financing activities of $122,648
during the Nine-Month Period 1995 as compared with net cash provided by
financing activities of $6,245,373 during the nine-month period ended June 30,
1994 ("Nine-Month Period 1994").  During the Nine-Month Period 1995, the Company
borrowed $21,000 from a local bank under a 36-month installment note for the
purchase of certain capital equipment, and made repayments on the note totaling
$2,666. Also, the Company received $47,301 from the exercise of 39,385 options
to purchase FCI Common Stock and $15,056 cash payments from notes receivable
from the exercise of options.  In addition, the Company paid cash dividends on
its Convertible Preferred Stock and purchased certain Convertible Preferred
Stock dividends as discussed above.

         The Company had net cash used in operating activities of $2,086,138
during the Nine-Month Period 1995 as compared with net cash used in operating
activities of $2,778,222 for the Nine-Month Period 1994.  The deficit during the
Nine-Month Period 1995 is primarily a result of the Company's net loss of
$1,879,585, offset by adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash used in
operating activities including increases in accounts receivable of $467,502,
inventory of $284,925, other current assets of $55,521, accounts payable of
$114,175 and accrued expenses of $50,266.  In addition, these adjustments
include an aggregate of $184,658 related to the issuance of FCI's Common Stock
for services provided to the Company, amortization of $210,861 and depreciation
of $41,435.

         The Company had net cash used in investing activities of $88,852 during
the Nine-Month Period 1995 compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$116,790, for the Nine-Month Period 1994.  During the Nine-Month Period 1995,
the Company made payments in the amount of $67,084 for new United States and
foreign patent applications as well as payments in the amount of $21,768 for the
purchase of equipment.  As of July 1995, the Company has 20 United States and 10
foreign patents issued and 6 United States and 16 foreign patent applications
pending.


MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the Nine-Month Period 1995 and the three-month period ended
June 30, 1995 (Third Quarter 1995), the Company had revenues of $874,056 and
$320,534, respectively, compared to revenues of $71,300 for the Nine Month
Period 1994 and $37,830 for the three month period ended June 30, 1994 ("Third
Quarter 1994").  These revenues included the sale of its PetroSense-Registered
Trademark- Portable Hydrocarbon Analyzer, PetroSense-Registered Trademark-
Continuous Monitoring System, PetroSense -Registered Trademark- Digital
Hydrocarbon Probe and associated products to distributors and customers of the
Company.  The revenues for the Nine-Month Period 1995 included sales to the
Company's customers, distributors, rental companies and manufacturing
representative organizations in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia, and
included discounts comparable to industry norms for manufacturers
representatives and distributors.  Revenues for Third


                                       10
<PAGE>

Quarter 1995 included sales of $107,000 (or 33% of Third Quarter 1995 revenues
and 12% of Nine-Month Period 1995 revenues) to a single customer.  Revenues for
the Nine-Month Period 1995 include sales of $206,000 (or 24% of revenues) to a
second single customer.  Similar sales to major petroleum producing, refining
and distribution companies, including recurring sales to the same companies, are
expected to reoccur.  However, as the Company's sales and customer base grow
such individual sales are expected to represent lesser percentages of total
revenues.  Nine-Month Period 1994 and Third Quarter 1994 revenues represent the
initial sales of the Company's current products.  During the Nine-Month Period
1995 and Third Quarter 1995, the Company incurred cost of revenues amounting to
$398,873 and $140,822, respectively, resulting in gross profit of 54% and 56%,
respectively.  Cost of revenues for the Nine-Month Period 1994 and Third Quarter
1994 were $39,441 and $20,586, respectively,  resulting in a gross profit of 45%
and 46%, respectively.

         Engineering, research and development expenditures decreased by
$866,961, or 48%, during the Nine-Month Period 1995 over the Nine-Month Period
1994 and decreased by $269,777, or 48%, over Third Quarter 1994.  These
decreases are primarily attributable to the Company's current focus on
commercialization of its inventions and technology rather than on new research
activities. During the Nine-Month Period 1994 and Third Quarter 1994, the
Company incurred significant prototyping, testing and other development costs
to ready its current products for manufacturing and marketing.  During the
Nine-Month Period 1995 and Third Quarter 1995, most of the Company's reduced
engineering, research and development expenditures were devoted to continued
improvement of its current products.  The Company has eliminated most of its
consulting agreements for the development of new sensor technologies.  The
Company is, however, actively pursuing its electronic semi-conductor chemical
sensor being  developed with Texas Instruments, Inc. and hopes to generate
revenue from this product in 1996, although there is no assurance that this
will occur.

         General and administrative expenditures decreased by $312,500, or 23%,
during the Nine-Month Period 1995 over the Nine-Month Period 1994 and decreased
by $23,884, or 6% during Third Quarter 1995 over Third Quarter 1994.  These
decreases are primarily attributable to reduced expenditures for legal fees,
salaries and consulting fees.  As discussed below, the Company placed more
emphasis on its marketing activities during the latter part of Fiscal 1994 and
for the Nine-Month Period 1995, and reduced its general and administrative
expenditures as well as research and development expenditures.

         Marketing expenditures increased by $385,764 or 333%, during the
Nine-Month Period 1995 over the Nine-Month Period 1994 and increased by
$95,672, or 164% during Third Quarter 1995 over Third Quarter 1994.  These
increases are attributable to the addition of salaried sales and marketing
staff, training expenses for the Company's manufacturing representative
organizations, advertising, marketing literature, sales commissions and field
sales travel. The Company sells its products through distributors, rental
companies, manufacturing representative organizations, and directly to
customers. A network of independent manufacturer's representatives, plus a
number of distributors and rental companies in the United States, Canada and
Mexico have been assembled into a North American sales force organization.  A
network of international distributors has been established including the major
European and Asian markets.

         The Company's interest income increased by $44,790, or 35%, during the
Nine-Month Period  1995 over the Nine-Month Period 1994.  This increase is
attributable to the short-term investment of cash received during Fiscal 1994
through the Company's private placement of Convertible Preferred Stock and from
the exercise of common stock options and Class D Warrants.  The short-term
investments include money market savings accounts deposited at a local bank.
The funds are readily available to the Company.  The increase is also
attributable to interest accrued on promissory notes for the exercise of FCI
Common Stock options by directors, officers and employees of the Company.
Interest income decreased by $15,536 or 24% during Third Quarter 1995 over Third
Quarter 1994.  This decrease is attributable to the decrease in cash and cash
equivalents from Third Quarter 1994 to Third Quarter 1995, which were invested
in interest-bearing accounts.


                                       11
<PAGE>

         As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of
$1,879,585, or a net loss of $.09 per share,  for the Nine-Month Period 1995 as
compared to a net loss of $5,181,791, or a net loss of $.32 per share, for the
Nine-Month Period 1994.  The net loss during the Nine-Month Period 1994 includes
a $2,123,670 expense relating to consulting services in accordance with the
Consulting Agreement with Liviakis Financial Communications, Inc. (see note 2 of
the notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements).  The Company
incurred a net loss of $593,254 for Third Quarter 1995 as compared to a net loss
of $937,889 for Third Quarter 1994.

         Management does not consider that inflation has had a significant
effect on the Company's operations to date, nor is inflation expected to have a
material impact over the next year.
