3.  Earnings per Share

During the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company adopted SFAS No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share," which required a change in the method used to compute
earnings per share.  Under this new standard, primary and fully diluted
earnings per share were replaced with "Basic" and "Diluted" earnings per
share.  For Biopool, basic earnings per share amounts under the new standard
were $0.01 per share higher than the primary earnings per share previously
presented for the 1997 periods.  As required by SFAS No. 128, all prior period
amounts have been restated to conform to the new presentation.

Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per share is based upon the weighted
average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares
outstanding.  Potential common shares are outstanding options under the
Company's stock option plans and outstanding warrants, which are included
under the treasury stock method.

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

Results of Operations

Sales were $3.9 million for the three-month period and $7.7 million for the
six-month period ended June 30, 1998, compared with $4.2 million and $8.3
million for the corresponding periods of 1997, respectively.  Sales of
hemostasis products for the six months ended June 30, 1998, were approximately
3% above last year, and  the overall decline in sales was solely attributed to
our BCA business.  Approximately $375,000, or 60%, of the year-to-date decline
in sales was the result of the unavailability of a finished product (BayRho )
from a single supplier as previously reported.  This product became
backordered in February without notice, and management has been advised by the
manufacturer that this product may not be available again until September of
this year.  In spite of repeated efforts, the Company still has no alternative
source for a product equivalent to BayRho .  Prolonged disruption in the
supply of this product will likely lead to the loss of customers for, and
future sales of, this product, and such loss could continue to have an adverse
impact on the Company's sales and results of operations.  Additionally,
international sales were down approximately $280,000 for the six-month period
ended June 30, 1998, when compared with the prior year, in part as a result of
the loss of business through certain key distributors in Europe.  The
Company's management is seeking to add new distributors or other strategic
business arrangements in these markets.  On July 13, 1998, the Company
announced the appointment of a new vice president of marketing and business
development in an effort to improve future sales.

Cost of sales decreased $232,000 for the three months and $395,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998, compared with the respective 1997 periods as a
result of lower sales.  As a percentage of sales, year-to-date cost of sales
remained relatively flat at approximately 60%.  This percentage should improve
with the anticipated cost savings associated with the closure of the Canadian
facilities, and management continues to pursue additional cost reductions.
                                 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $45,000 and $39,000 for
the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, compared with the same
periods of 1997.  The first six months of 1997 included approximately $80,000
of incremental costs associated with the transition of the then newly acquired
BCA business.  The increased costs for the 1998 periods were due to increased
company-wide selling and marketing expenditures and general wage increases, as
well as increased allowance for BCA doubtful accounts receivable.

On December 23, 1997, the Company announced the restructuring of its
operations by closing its facilities in Canada and consolidating the
operations of its subsidiary, Biopool Canada Inc., with operations conducted
at the Company's facilities in Ventura, California.  Restructuring charges of
$342,000 were recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997 and $43,000 in the first
quarter of 1998.  The transfer of technology, manufacturing, and
administrative functions was completed June 30, 1998, for additional second
quarter charges of $95,000.  Management anticipates cost savings from the
consolidation beginning in the third quarter of 1998.

Interest expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998,
decreased $19,000 and $47,000, respectively,  from the same prior year periods
as a result of lower outstanding loan balances.  Total debt outstanding at
June 30, 1998, was $2.3 million versus $3.3 million a year ago.

<PAGE>
Income tax expense for the 1997 periods include benefits related to
utilization of domestic NOL carryforwards.  All NOL benefits were exhausted
during 1997.  Income taxes for the second quarter of 1998 included a tax
benefit associated with certain restructuring charges accrued in the fourth
quarter of 1997.

Financial Condition

The Company's liquidity and capital resources remained strong into the second
quarter of 1998.  Working capital as of June 30, 1998, was $5.5 million, with
a current ratio of 3.0 to 1.0.  Approximately $505,000 of cash was used to pay
down debt during the first six months of 1998.  The total debt to equity ratio
at June 30, 1998, was 25%.  The Company's management believes that the current
availability of cash, lines of credit, working capital, and cash flow from
operations are adequate to meet the Company's needs for at least the next
twelve months.  The Company continues to seek potential acquisitions and
sources of capital to finance such acquisitions, although it has no
commitments for either at this time.

In addition, the Company repurchased 13,300 shares of its Common Stock on the
open market during the month of June 1998 at an average purchase price of
$1.24 per share.  The Company also purchased an additional 5,000 shares at an
average price of $1.34 per share during the first two weeks of July 1998, all
pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program as announced June 5, 1998.
