NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Opticon Medical,
Inc. (formerly Immune Response, Inc. - see Note 4) (the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 10(a) of
Regulation S-B. 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 and six month periods ended June
30, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB
for the year ended December 31, 1999 as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

NOTE 2 - MERGER OF IMMUNE RESPONSE, INC. AND OPTICON MEDICAL, INC.
         (AN IOWA CORPORATION)

On December 9, 1999, Immune Response, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Immune"),
Opticon Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned
subsidiary of Immune ("Sub"), and Opticon Medical, Inc., an Iowa corporation
("Opticon Iowa"), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the
"Merger Agreement"), providing for the merger of Opticon Iowa with and into Sub
(the "Merger").

The Merger Agreement was approved by Immune, acting as sole shareholder of Sub.
The shareholders of Opticon Iowa approved and adopted the Merger Agreement at a
special meeting held on January 28, 2000. The Merger became effective February
25, 2000. Through the Certificate of Merger, Sub changed its name to Opticon
Medical, Inc.

At the Effective Date of the Merger, each outstanding share of Common Stock, no
par value, Series A Preferred Stock, no par value, and Series B Preferred Stock,
no par value, of Opticon Iowa, totaling 4,482,906 shares (the "Opticon Iowa
Stock") and held by approximately 88 shareholders, was converted into the right
to receive 1.23 shares of common stock, $.0001 par value, of Immune (the "Immune
Common Stock"), so that, in the aggregate, the holders of Opticon Iowa Stock
would, on the Effective Date, hold 80% of the outstanding Immune Common Stock,
on a fully diluted basis, and the then current shareholders of Immune would
hold, in the aggregate, 20% of the outstanding Immune Common Stock on a fully
diluted basis. No fractional shares were issued. All fractional shares of Immune
Common Stock to which a holder of Opticon Iowa Stock would otherwise be entitled
at the Effective Date were aggregated, and any fractional share resulting from
such aggregation was rounded to the nearest whole. All shares issued pursuant to
the Merger Agreement were issued pursuant to exemptions from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). In addition, notes
outstanding between the two companies, totaling $100,000 were cancelled in
connection with the merger. The merger consideration was determined based upon
arms-length negotiations between Immune and Opticon Iowa.

The Merger Agreement provided that Immune assume Opticon Iowa's rights and
obligations under all of Opticon Iowa's outstanding options and warrants and
other purchase rights. As a result, on the Effective Date, the right of any
holder of an outstanding option, warrant, or other purchase right, was converted
into the right to receive the number of shares of Immune Common Stock as would
have been issued or delivered to the holder if it had exercised the warrant or
option and received the shares of Opticon Iowa Stock upon such exercise
immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Merger. At the Effective Date,
there were outstanding an aggregate of 1,968,517 Opticon Iowa options and
warrants.

In connection with the Merger, on January 20, 2000, Immune's shareholders
approved a one-for-three reverse stock split and authorized 1,000,000 shares of
preferred stock and an increase in the authorized capital stock to 26,000,000
shares. As a result, prior to the Effective Date, Immune had a total of
1,983,526 shares of Immune Common Stock



                                      -4-
<PAGE>   7


issued and outstanding. In the Merger, 5,513,974 shares of Immune Common Stock
were issued in exchange for the outstanding shares of Opticon Iowa Stock,
causing Immune to have a total of 7,497,500 shares of Immune Common Stock issued
and outstanding. If all of the Opticon Iowa options and warrants had been
exercised, approximately another 2,421,276 shares of Immune Common Stock would
have been issued.

The transaction between Immune and Opticon Iowa was a business combination
between an operating enterprise (Opticon Iowa) and a "shell company" (Immune),
in which the shell company was the issuer of securities and the operating
enterprise was determined to be the acquiring enterprise for financial reporting
purposes. In this case, the business combination is being treated for financial
reporting purposes as an issuance of securities by Opticon Iowa. Opticon Iowa
has credited equity for the fair value of the tangible net assets of Immune
(i.e., no goodwill or intangible assets were recognized in this transaction).
Costs related to this transaction were charged directly to equity.

In this filing and in future filings, the historical financial statements of
Opticon Iowa (accounting acquirer) has and will be presented as the historical
financial statements of the combined enterprise and the assets and liabilities
of the Immune (legal acquirer) has and will be accounted for as required by the
purchase method of accounting without regard to which enterprise is the
surviving enterprise. The results of operations of Immune (legal acquirer) are
included in the financial statements of the combined enterprise only from the
date of acquisition. The equity of Opticon Iowa is presented as the equity of
the combined enterprise; however, the capital stock account of Opticon Iowa has
been adjusted to reflect the par value of the outstanding stock of Immune after
giving effect to the number of shares issued in the business combination. The
difference between the capital stock account of Opticon Iowa and the capital
stock account of Immune has been recorded as an adjustment to additional paid-in
capital of the combined enterprise. For periods prior to the business
combination, the equity of the combined enterprise is the historical equity of
Opticon Iowa prior to the merger retroactively restated to reflect the number of
shares received in the business combination. The accumulated deficit of Opticon
Iowa will be carried forward after the acquisition. Earnings (loss) per share
for periods prior to the business combination have been restated to reflect the
number of equivalent shares received by Opticon Iowa shareholders in the Merger.


NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK SERIES A

Immediately following the Merger, Immune entered into Securities Purchase
Agreements with certain investors (the "Investors") whereby Immune agreed to
sell, and the Investors to purchase $3 million in principal amount of 6%
convertible debentures (the "Debentures") and warrants to purchase 300,000
shares of Immune's common stock (the Warrants") at a price of $6.60 per share.
At the option of the holder, the Debentures were convertible, either in whole or
in part, into common shares, at any time, and from time to time, at a conversion
price per share of common stock equal to the lesser of: (a) $4.50 or (b) 65% of
the market price of Immune Common Stock. Any principal amount of Debentures
outstanding on the third anniversary of the issuance were automatically
convertible into common stock at the conversion price unless the common stock
issuable on such conversion would exceed 19.99% of the common stock outstanding
on the mandatory conversion date, in which case Immune's shareholders would have
to approve the issuance of the common stock in excess of the 19.99% threshold.
In the event of no shareholder approval, any unconverted portion of the
Debentures were required to be redeemed for cash.

The Debentures were recorded at the amount of gross proceeds of $3 million, less
the fair value of the Warrants, which were valued at $775,000. The calculated
conversion price at February 25, 2000, the first available conversion date, was
$2.93 per share. In accordance with the FASB's Emerging Issues Task Force Issue
98-5, the difference between this conversion price and the market price of $4.50
per share was reflected as additional interest expense of $1,613,013 in the
merged company's statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2000.

On March 17, 2000, the Debentures were exchanged for 3,000 shares of Series A 6%
Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The Preferred Stock has
identical terms and conditions to the Debentures, except that the holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to cumulative dividends rather than interest,
payable quarterly in cash or common stock. At the time of conversion, the
principal balance of the Debentures was $2,246,528, and accrued interest was
$9,250. On the conversion date, Immune also netted the deferred debt issuance
costs of $440,159, previously recorded as an asset, with the carrying value of
the preferred stock. The dividends were accrued at June 30, 2000, in the amount
of $51,781.

NOTE 4 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

MERGER OF IMMUNE RESPONSE, INC. INTO OPTICON MEDICAL, INC.
(A DELAWARE CORPORATION)

On July 27, 2000, Immune merged into its wholly-owned subsidiary, Opticon
Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (referred to herein as the "Company"). The
merger was approved at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders and became effective
upon the filing of certificates of merger with the Secretaries of State of
Colorado and Delaware on July 27, 2000.

At the effective date of the merger, each outstanding share of Immune Common
Stock and each outstanding share of Immune Preferred Stock was converted
automatically into one share of Company common stock, par value $0.0001 per
share ("Company Common Stock"), and one share of Company Series A, 6%
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share ("Company Preferred
Stock"), respectively.

The Company has assumed and will continue the outstanding stock options and all
other employee benefit plans of Immune. Each outstanding and unexercised option
or other right to purchase shares of Immune Common Stock will become an option
or right to purchase the same number of shares of Company Common Stock on the
same terms and conditions and at the same exercise price applicable to any such
option or stock purchase right as of the date of the effectiveness of the
merger.

ADOPTION OF 2000 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

On July 27, 2000, the shareholders of the Company approved the adoption of the
2000 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan"). The 2000 Plan is intended to
increase incentive and to encourage stock ownership on the part of (1) employees
of the Company and its affiliates, (2) consultants who provide significant
services to the Company and its affiliates, and (3) directors of the Company who
are employees of neither the Company nor any affiliate ("Non-employee
Directors").

The 2000 Plan permits the granting of stock options and restricted stock awards
(collectively, "Awards") to eligible participants. The total number of shares of
Company Common Stock available for Awards to be granted under the 2000 Plan will
consist of 1,500,000 shares. If an Award expires or is canceled without having
been fully exercised or vested, the unvested or canceled shares generally will
be available again for grants of Awards.

The 2000 Plan is administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of
the Company's Board of Directors (the "Committee"). The members of the Committee
must qualify as "outside directors" under section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the "Code"). Subject to the terms of the 2000 Plan, the Committee has the
sole discretion to determine the key employees and consultants who shall be
granted Awards, the terms and conditions of such Awards, and to construe and
interpret the 2000 Plan. The actual number of employees and consultants who will
receive Awards under the 2000 Plan cannot be determined because eligibility for
participation in the Plan is in the discretion of the Committee. The 2000 Plan
may be amended or terminated by the Board of Directors at any time and for any
reason. Certain material amendments to the 2000 Plan must be approved by the
stockholders.

If a participant engages in a certain activity that is harmful to the Company,
all outstanding and unexercised Awards may be cancelled and terminated. Awards
granted under the 2000 Plan may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or
otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the applicable
laws of descent and distribution.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OVERVIEW

         The second quarter was one which was devoted to serving both the
developmental business objectives of the Company and the challenges associated
with integrating our public reporting responsibilities, acquired through the
February merger with Immune Response, Inc.

         On July 27, 2000, as approved by our shareholders, Immune Response,
Inc. was merged with and into Opticon Medical Inc. As a result, we have
consolidated our corporate structure to a single entity domiciled in Delaware,
clarified our corporate identity, and began trading under the new symbol "OPMI"
on the OTC Bulletin Board. The Company continues its operations as a development
stage enterprise formed to develop, manufacture, and market disposable devices
for use in urology and for the management and control of the symptoms of urinary
incontinence in adults. The Company's current focus is on the development
activities and regulatory approval process relating to its initial product, the
OPTICON(TM), a disposable, silicone indwelling valved catheter, to be first
indicated for use in acute, short-term urinary management.

         This report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results may differ materially from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause
such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item I of
the Company's Form 10-KSB as filed with the United States Securities and
Exchange Commission, File No. 33-17922-C, in the section entitled "Business
Risks."

PLAN OF OPERATION

         The Company's operating plan remains the same as when last reported.
 Working capital, derived from the Debenture/Preferred Stock financing completed
 in February 2000, was $1,736,780 at the end of the second quarter, and is
 expected to fund the Company's planned operations into the second quarter of
 2001, after which additional funds will be required for further business
 development. The Company will continue to apply its existing cash resources to
 executing the current stage of its business plan, specifically across four
 initiatives - infrastructure, product development, regulatory approval and
 manufacturing scale-up. Broadly, it is the Company's plan to advance
 development to the point that initial market introduction of the OPTICON(TM)
 device is considered imminent, thereby establishing the basis for subsequent
 funding.

         The Company, essentially operating as a "virtual company" previously,
has been methodically building its organization and internal capabilities, and
will continue the hiring of key employees as the demands of the business call
for the requisite financial, engineering and management skills. Management and
operating personnel have been successfully recruited in both the areas of
product development/engineering and clinical and regulatory affairs. Mr. Glenn
Brunner joined the Company during the quarter and was subsequently appointed to
Vice President, Product Development. In addition, Mr. Michael Southworth was
recruited as the Company's Director, Regulatory Affairs. While the recruiting of
additional operating personnel in these areas are expected, it is also
anticipated that outside contractors will continue to be utilized to some
extent, as the needs of the business dictate. It is still planned for
manufacturing and assembly operations to be contracted to outside sources, and
the process of qualifying and specifying these contractors is nearing completion
at this writing. Marketing and business development management will be added to
the organization later in the cycle as the product approaches market readiness.
The Company currently expects to directly employ a total of some 8-10 associates
by the end of 2000.

         The primary focus of the Company's product development activity
currently centers on integrating the final specifications of the
first-generation female device and creating the initial tooling which will
facilitate the assembly of finished devices for use in clinical trial. A final
packaging design is also being specified and sourced. A series of test equipment
and test protocols have been acquired or developed and are in routine use within
the Company's research and development facility to better demonstrate product
performance characteristics, to facilitate failure mode analysis, and to further
specify quality standards. The Company plans to move the male-gender version of
the device from prototype to pilot stage following the completion of this
critical phase of development for the female

configuration. The Company also hopes to proceed in other developmental areas
such as a suprapubic configuration and an artificial sphincter, but the extent
to which the Company will be able to pursue development will be limited by
resource constraints and the prioritization of first-generation market entry.

         Conducting the clinical trials to support a 510(k) submission for
short-term urinary management is the primary objective in regulatory affairs. A
trial protocol has been drafted and will be brought to final form with
assistance from our previously assembled network of clinical investigators,
after which we will collaborate with the FDA to gain agreement to proceed to
trial. A meeting with FDA is now scheduled for early September. The Company
believes that a statistically valid sampling of patients can be studied over a
relatively short 4-5 month time frame once the Institutional Review Boards of
each of the Company's investigative sites grant their approval to proceed.
Assuming trial results remain satisfactory, the Company expects to have made its
submission to the FDA before the end of the first quarter of 2001. Within that
period of time, it is also the Company's goal to have essentially completed the
process necessary to apply for the European CE marking - the regulatory
requirement for entering major foreign markets.

         Finally, production tooling is being preliminarily specified and
sourced so that the Company will be able to equip one or more contract
manufacturers for producing product components in scale quantities. Once the
Company has obtained regulatory clearance, this will enable a marketing-level
manufacturing capacity and provide for meeting initial unit cost forecasts. Such
tooling is significant in cost and the Company has not been successful in
attempting to arrange debt or leasing in advance to mitigate the cash flow
impact, primarily due to our pre-revenue status. This may have an adverse impact
by accelerating the need for cash infusion by several months.

         Underlying the operating plan described above is the objective to
secure sales and distribution channels to the urology markets in both the U.S.
and Europe. The Company continues to have dialog with a number of the
established market participants for creating a strategic alliance and as the
Company gets closer to demonstrating market readiness, it is likely that one or
more of these discussions will become more meaningful and definitive.

         Statements in this report which relate to other than strictly
historical facts, including statements about the Company's plans and strategies,
as well as management's expectations about new and existing products,
technologies and opportunities, market growth, demand for and acceptance of new
and existing products (including the OPTICON(TM) device), are forward looking
statements. The words "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "project,"
and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements that speak only as
of the date hereof. Investors are cautioned that such statements involve risks
and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from
historical or anticipated results due to many factors including, but not limited
to, the Company's ability to successfully commercialize the OPTICON(TM),
continuing losses from operations and negative cash flow, the challenges of
research and development of new products, and other risks detailed in the
Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB and other Securities and
Exchange Commission filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
update or revise any forward-looking statements.
