NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  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 nine-month period ended September 30,
1999, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ended December 31, 1999. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  annual
report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1998.

The balance  sheet at  December  31,  1998,  has been  derived  from the audited
financial  statements  at that date but does not include all of the  information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting  principles for complete
financial statements.

Financial  information  presented  to the  notes to the  consolidated  financial
statements excludes discontinued operations except where noted.

3.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

During the year ended  December  31,  1998,  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.  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.

4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

SFAS No.  130  requires  unrealized  gains and losses on the  Company's  foreign
currency translation  adjustments to be included in other comprehensive  income.
Total  comprehensive  income was  $549,000  and $347,000 for the nine months and
$134,000  and $42,000 for the three months  ended  September  30, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

5.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company  currently  operates in one industry,  in vitro  diagnostic  medical
products.   However,   the  Company  has  two   reportable   segments;   Biopool
International and its wholly-owned  operating  subsidiary,  Biopool Sweden.  The
reportable segments are each managed separately as "stand-alone"  business units
and have very  little  duplication  of  technical  or  manufacturing  processes.
Biopool International  manufactures hemostasis and drugs-of-abuse  products, and
Biopool  Sweden  primarily  manufactures  test kits for  assessing  the  blood's
fibrinolytic (clot dissolving) system.

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


SALE OF BLOOD GROUP SEROLOGY DIVISION

On April 30, 1999, we consummated the sale of certain business assets of BCA for
$4.45 million in cash.  BCA ceased  operations  to our benefit  effective May 1,
1999, but continued to convert  certain  inventory  items on behalf of the buyer
through June 30, 1999.  The  Consolidated  Statements  of  Operations  have been
restated to reflect ongoing hemostasis  operations.  The sale of BCA will reduce
the Company's future sales by approximately  50%; however,  the impact on future
net income will be negligible.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales from continuing  operations  were $2.0 million for the three-month  period
and $6.5 million for the nine-month  period ended  September 30, 1999,  compared
with $1.7 million and $5.9 million for the  corresponding  periods of 1998.  The
1999 sales represent increases of 14 and 10 percent, respectively, over the 1998
periods.  These increases are the result of renewed  emphasis to market our core
hemostasis products.

Cost of goods sold was $962,000 for the three months and $3,254,000 for the nine
months ended  September 30, 1999,  compared with $827,000 and $2,832,000 for the
same periods in 1998. The year-to-date cost of sales as a percentage of revenues
was 50% in 1999  versus 48% in 1998.  This  percentage  increase  is a result of
increasing our allocation of overhead to cost of sales in 1999.

Selling,   general  and  administrative  ("SG&A")  expenses  were  $807,000  and
$2,282,000  for the three  months and nine  months  ended  September  30,  1999,
compared  with  $769,000  and  $2,099,000  for the same  periods of 1998.  These
increases were due entirely to increased sales and marketing  efforts to improve
sales of our hemostasis products.

The 1999 Other expenses  primarily  relate to costs incurred to move our Swedish
operations  (Biopool  Sweden)  into larger  facilities  and the  abandonment  of
existing  leasehold   improvements  at  their  current   facilities.   In  1998,
restructure  costs were incurred in conjunction with the closure of our Canadian
operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

Our already strong liquidity and capital  resources were further enhanced by the
sale of BCA. As of September 30, 1999, working capital was $5.4 million,  with a
current ratio of 5.5 to 1.0. On April 30, 1999,  we received  $4.45 million cash
for the sale of certain BCA assets.  The proceeds were used, in part, to pay off
the  term  note  ($1,762,000)  and  pay  certain  closing  costs  (approximately
$775,000), with the balance invested in a short-term certificate of deposit. Net
assets of  discontinued  operations,  equal to $2.3  million,  represent the BCA
property,  plant,  and  equipment,  which were placed for sale in June 1999. The
saleability  and ultimate net proceeds  from the sale of such assets are unknown
at this time.

YEAR 2000 READINESS

We have formulated and are  implementing a Year 2000 Readiness Plan.  Phase I of
this Plan, assessment and identification of potential issues, is complete. Based
upon our  current  assessment,  we  believe  that we should not  experience  any
material  Year 2000  problems  with either our own or any third  party  systems.
Phase II of the Plan consists of remediation efforts, which will be completed by
November 30, 1999.

To date, we have spent an immaterial amount on our compliance program and do not
expect to spend in excess of $20,000 to complete Phase II.

We are unable,  at this time, to fully assess our reasonably likely "worst case"
scenario.  However,  failures to correct Year 2000 systems, our own, certain key
distributors or certain key vendors,  could result in failures or  interruptions
of critical  business systems which could possibly have a material impact to our
liquidity and financial  condition.  We do not anticipate material problems with
our power supply or telecommunications systems.
