                          AVITAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)
================================================================================


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         Avitar, Inc. ("Avitar" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Avitar Technologies Inc. ("ATI") develops, manufactures,
     markets and sells proprietary hydrophilic polyurethane foam disposables
     fabricated for medical, diagnostics, dental and consumer use. The Company
     is a leading independent fabricator of disposable medical and dental
     products from medical grade hydrophilic polyurethane foam.

         On October 27, 1997, the Company sold the business and assets of its
     wholly-owned subsidiary, Managed Health Benefits Corporation ("MHB"), which
     provided health care cost containment services. Therefore, MHB is
     considered a discontinued operation and this report primarily reflects the
     continuing operation of the Company.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have
     been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     for interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
     Regulation S-B (including Item 310(b) thereof). 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
     the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
     included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended June
     30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 1999. The accompanying
     consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended
     September 30, 1998.

         The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on
     the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
     assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
     business. The Company has suffered recurring losses in the past from
     operations. The Company raised net proceeds aggregating approximately
     $200,000 and $1,100,000 during the fiscal years ended September 30, 1998
     and 1997, respectively, from the sale of preferred and common stock. During
     the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the Company raised approximately $
     4,448,291 from the sale of preferred stock and warrants (see Note 6) and
     from the exercise of warrants to purchase common stock. Based upon cash
     flow projections, the Company believes the anticipated cash flow from
     operations and proceeds from the recent equity financings described above
     will be sufficient to finance the Company's operating needs until the
     operations achieve profitability. There can be no assurances that
     forecasted results will be achieved or that additional financing will be
     obtained. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
     to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts
     and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
     Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

5.   DEBT

     During March 1999, the Chairman of the Board and the President of the
     Company converted notes payable (including the interest thereon) and
     accrued salaries totaling approximately $200,000 into 24,570 shares of the
     Company's Series B convertible preferred stock (see Note 6) and warrants to
     purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock for a period of one
     year at an exercise price of $1.22 per share.


6.   PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS

     During the nine months ended June 30, 1999, the Company sold 1,541,077
     shares of Series B convertible preferred stock and received proceeds of
     approximately $3,658,300 (cash of $2,658,300 and notes receivable of
     $1,000,000 which have maturity dates from August 31, 1999 to October 31,
     1999). In connection with the sale of the preferred stock, the Company
     issued to the holders of the preferred stock warrants to purchase 7,386,600
     shares of the Company's common stock for one year at exercise prices
     ranging from $.225 to $2.39 per share. Each share of Series B Convertible
     Preferred Stock entitles its holder to convert it, at any time, into 10
     shares of the Company's



                                       9

     common stock and to receive dividends amounting to an annual 8% cash
     dividend or 10% stock dividend computed on the amount invested, at the
     discretion of the Company. Preferred stock dividends for the three and nine
     month periods ended June 30,1999 amounted to $135,643 and $182,312,
     respectively. As of June 30, 1999, the total amount of unpaid and
     undeclared dividends was $187,766. Approximately 94,100 shares of the
     Series B convertible preferred stock (convertible into 941,000 shares of
     the Company's common stock) were issued with a conversion price below the
     common stock's quoted value and as a result, accreted dividends of
     approximately $182,517 and $335,392 were recorded for the three and nine
     month periods, respectively. The amount for dividends and accreted
     dividends were included in determining the earnings per share for common
     stockholders.


7.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On July 9, 1999, the Company acquired all the outstanding stock of United
     States Drug Testing Laboratories, Inc. ("USDTL"), a specialized drug

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

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues

         Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1999 increased slightly to
$621,105 from $620,505 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For the
nine months ended June 30, 1999, sales increased $26,322, or approximately 2%,
to $1,586,621 from $1,560,299 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998. The sales
of wound dressing products accounted for the increase in sales for both the
three and nine month periods ended June 30, 1999.

     Operating Expenses

         Direct costs of sales were approximately 81% of sales for both the
three months ended June 30, 1999 and June 31, 1998. For the nine months ended
June 30, 1999, direct costs of sales were 84% of sales compared to 89% of sales
for the same period of Fiscal 1998. The improvement for the nine months ended
June 30, 1999 was primarily the result of certain reductions in costs which may
not occur in future periods.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 1999 increased $288,781, or approximately 78%, to $661,287 from
$372,506 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For the nine months
ended June 30, 1999, selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$318,435, or approximately 29%, to $1,430,386 from $1,111,951 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998. The increase for the three and nine month periods
ended June 30, 1999 resulted mainly from expanded sales and marketing efforts
associated with the Company's launching of its oral fluid drugs of abuse tests
(OralScreen(TM) 3).

         Expenses for research and development for the three months ended June
30, 1999 amounted to $214,818 compared to $134,434 incurred for the
corresponding period of the prior year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1999,
expenses for research and development were $497,534 versus $411,744 for the nine
months ended June 30, 1998. The change for the three and nine months ended June
30, 1999 occurred primarily from the increase in research and development
expense for the Company's oral fluid tests for drugs of abuse..

     Other Income and Expense

         For the three months ended June 30, 1999, other income (net of other
expenses) amounted to $10,749 as compared to other expenses (net of other
income) of $28,242 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. Other expenses (net
of other income) for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 were $24,626 compared
to $77,995 for the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The
improvement for the quarter ended June 30, 1999 resulted primarily from interest
income on notes receivable, increase in rental income and reduced interest on
bank advances and loans. The change for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 was
mainly due to an increase in rental and interest income



                                       11
<PAGE>


of approximately $77,000 which was partially offset by an increase in interest
expense on bank advances and loans of approximately $24,000.

     Discontinued Operations

         In October 1997, the Company sold the net assets and business of its
MHB subsidiary and received $1,286,000. No income or expenses were recorded for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1999 compared to income from the
operations and sale of MHB of $1,136,170 for the nine months ended June 30,
1998.

     Net Loss

         Primarily as a result of the factors described above, the Company had a
net loss of $745,432 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 versus a net loss
of $414,484 for the three months ended June 30, 1998. For the nine months ended
June 30, 1999, the Company had a net loss of $1,700,332 compared to a net loss
of $300,552 for the nine months ended June 30, 1998.


FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

         At June 30, 1999 and September 30, 1998 the Company had working capital
(deficiency) of $381,807 and ($1,569,085), respectively, and cash and cash
equivalents of $1,234,527 and $12,483 respectively. Net cash used in operating
activities during the nine months ended June 30, 1999 amounted to $2,091,174
resulting primarily from a net loss of $1,700,332;an increase in accounts
receivable of $73,635, an increase in prepaid and other current assets of
$133,268, an increase in other assets of $952 and a decrease in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $298,753; partially offset by depreciation and
amortization of $97,020 and non-cash charges for services of $18,746. Net cash
provided by financing and investing activities during the nine months ended June
30, 1999 amounted to $3,313,218 which included proceeds from the sale of
preferred stock and warrants of $2,658,300 and proceeds from the exercise of
warrants of $789,991; offset in part by the repayment of long term debt of
$72,747 and the repayment of notes payable of $10,943.

         During the period of October 1998 through April 1999, the Company
received net proceeds of approximately $3,658,300 ($2,258,300 in cash and
$1,000,000 in notes receivable with maturity dates of July 31, 1999 which have
been subsequently extended to August 31, 1999, September 30, 1999 and October
31, 1999) from the sale of 1,541,077 shares of Series B convertible preferred
stock (convertible at any time into 15,410,770 shares of the Company's common
stock) which included warrants to purchase 7,386,600 shares of the Company's
common stock at exercise prices of $.225 -$2.39 per share for a period of twelve
months. From February through June 1999, the Company received proceeds of
approximately $789,991 from the exercise of warrants to purchase approximately
1,895,000 shares of the Company's common stock. In March 1999, the Chairman of
the Board and the President of the Company converted notes payable (including
the accrued interest thereon) and accrued salaries totaling approximately
$200,000 into 24,570 shares of the Company's Series B convertible preferred
stock. (convertible into 245,700 shares of the Company's common stock) and
warrants to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $1.22 per share for one year.

         In July 1999, the Company acquired the entire operations of USDTL
located in DesPlanes,



                                       12
<PAGE>


Illinois. USDTL, which provides specialized drug testing products and services
using hair, urine and other samples, had reported revenues of approximately $1
million for calendar year 1998.

         For the balance of fiscal year 1999, the Company's cash requirements
are expected to include primarily the funding of operating capital to grow the
Company's rapid oral fluid tests for drugs of abuse (OralScreen(TM)) and the
growth of USDTL's business, the funding of operating losses, the payment of
outstanding accounts payable and the repayment of certain notes payable.

         Although operating revenues of the Company only increased 2% during the
first nine months of Fiscal 1999, sales are expected to grow at a more rapid
pace for the last quarter of Fiscal 1999 as the Company launches and commences
shipment of its oral fluid drugs of abuse tests (OralScreen 3(TM)). Based on
current sales, expense and cash flow projections, the Company believes that the
current level of cash and the collection of the notes receivable related to the
financing described above would be sufficient to fund operations until the
Company achieves profitability. Once the Company achieves profitability, the
longer-term cash requirements of the Company to fund operating activities,
purchase capital equipment and expand the business are expected to be met by the
anticipated cash flow from operations and proceeds from the financings described
above. However, because there can be no assurances that sales will materialize
as forecasted, management will continue to closely monitor and attempt to
control costs.

         As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations and
working capital deficit, the report of its independent certified public
accountants relating to the financial statements for Fiscal 1998 contains an
explanatory paragraph stating substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. Such report also states that the ultimate outcome
of this matter could not be determined as of the date of such report (December
23, 1998). The Company's plans to address the situation are presented above.
However, there are no assurances that these endeavors will be successful or
sufficient.

Year 2000 Impact

         Many currently installed computer systems and software products are
coded to accept or recognize only two digit entries in the date code field.
These systems and software products will need to accept four digit entries to
distinguish 21st century dates from 20th century dates. As a result, computer
systems and/or software used by many companies and governmental agencies may
need to be upgraded to comply with such Year 2000 requirements or risk system
failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of normal business activities.

         The Company has undertaken a review concerning the ability of its
internal information systems, including its internal accounting systems, to
handle date information and function appropriately from and after January 1,
2000 and does not believe that the total cost to address any changes to become
Year 2000 Compliant will be material. In addition, the Company during the third
quarter of calendar 1999 will complete its evaluation (which has been expanded
to include the operations of USDTL) as to what impact, if any, possible Year
2000 problems encountered by its suppliers and customers will have upon the
Company. At this time, the Company does not believe that these problems would
have a material effect on the Company.

         As discussed above, the Company has not yet completed its Year 2000
evaluation and therefore, has not developed any contingency plans. The results
of the Company's evaluation will be the basis for determining the nature and
extent of any contingency plans.

ITEM 2.           CHANGE IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         During the quarter ended June 30, 1999, the Company sold to private
investors 68,017 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and received
cash proceeds of approximately $485,000. In connection with the sale of this
preferred stock, the Company issued to the holders of the preferred stock
warrants to purchase 970,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise
price of $.24 to $2.39 per share for a period of 12 months. Each share of the
Series B Convertible Preferred Stock entitles its holders to convert it, at any
time, into 10 shares of the Company's common stock and to receive dividends
amounting to an annual 8% cash dividend or 10% stock dividend computed on the
amount invested, at the discretion of the Company. The exemption for
registration of these securities is based upon Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act.


ITEM 4.           SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         The Annual Meeting of shareholders was held on June 23, 1999. All

increase in authorized share of common stock from 25 to 75 million and the
reappointment of BDO Seidman LLP as auditors were approved and the tabulation of

of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "Corporation"),
does hereby certify as follows:

                  FIRST:    That by unanimous written consent of the Board of
