           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 1997 and
for the nine month and three month periods ended September 30,
1997 and 1996 included herein have been prepared by the Company,
without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules
and regulations.  However, the Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to prevent the information presented
from being misleading.  These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K, which contains
financial information for the year ended December 31, 1996.

The information provided in this report reflects all adjustments
that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present
fairly the results of operations for these periods.  The results
of these periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to
be expected for the full year.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

   Principles of Consolidation

   The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
   BioSource International, Inc. and its wholly owned
   subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
   transactions have been eliminated.

   The Company is engaged in the licensing, development,
   manufacture, marketing and distribution of immunological
   reagents, test kits and oligonucleotides used in biomedical
   research.  The types of products supplied by the Company
   include a range of bioactive proteins, enzymes, substrates,
   antibodies, human and murine cytokines, growth factors and a
   variety of assay systems for the detection of biological
   molecules.  These products focus on areas of research such as
   immunology, AIDS and cancer.  The Company focuses its sales
   efforts on academic, industrial and governmental
   laboratories.

   Cash and Cash Equivalents

   Cash and cash equivalents includes all cash balances and
   highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three
   months or less.

   Investments

   The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial
   Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
   Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," as of January 1,
   1994.  At September 30, 1997, the Company has investments in
   U.S. Treasury securities that are classified in the
   consolidated balance sheet as short-term (mature in more than
   91 days but no more than one year) or long-term (maturities
   beyond one year).  These investments are categorized as held
   to maturity and are carried at cost as the Company has both
   the intent and the ability to hold these investments until
   they mature.

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   Inventories

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-
   out) or market (net realizable value) for raw materials and
   work in process and the average-cost method for finished
   goods.
   
   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is
   provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
   useful lives which range from three to seven years.
   Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line
   method over the estimated useful life or the lease term,
   whichever is shorter.

   License Agreements

   License agreements are recorded at cost and are amortized
   using the straight-line method over the shorter of the
   estimated useful lives of the license or the license term
   (generally five to ten years).  These costs are included with
   other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

   Income Taxes

   Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability
   method of Statement 109, deferred income taxes are recognized
   for the future tax consequences attributable to differences
   between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing
   assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
   Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
   enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
   years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
   recovered or settled.  Under Statement 109, the effect on
   deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in
   income in the period that includes the enacted date.

   Long Lived Assets

   In March 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
   and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," was issued.
   This statement provides guidelines for recognition of
   impairment losses related to long-term assets.  Effective
   January 1, 1996, the Company adopted Statement No. 121.  The
   adoption of this new standard did not have a material effect
   on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

   Accounting for Stock Options

   In October 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
   No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
   ("Statement No. 123"), was issued.  This statement
   encourages, but does not require a fair value based method of
   accounting for employee stock options.  The Company will
   continue to measure compensation costs pursuant to APB
   Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
   and comply with the pro forma disclosure requirements of
   Statement No. 123.  Effective January 1, 1996, the Company
   adopted Statement No. 123 which had no impact on the
   Company's consolidated financial statements.

   Net Income per Share

   Net income per share has been computed using the weighted
   average number of common shares outstanding each quarter.
   The Company's common share equivalents associated with
   dilutive stock options and warrants are immaterial, and
   accordingly, primary and fully diluted net income per share
   are approximately the same.

6.   Financial Accounting Standards, No. 128

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued
Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No.  128, "Earnings
Per Share," which is required to be adopted for financial
statements issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997.
This statement establishes new, simplified standards for
computing and presenting earnings per share.  It replaces the
traditional presentations of primary earnings per share and fully
diluted earnings per share with presentations of basic earnings
per share and diluted earnings per share, respectively.     When
adopted by the Company, basic earnings per share is expected to
increase slightly from primary earnings per share and diluted
earnings per share is expected to approximate fully diluted
earnings per share.

7.   Financial Accounting Standards, No. 130
   
   The company will also be subject to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130") for
interim and annual financial statements issued for periods beginning
after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 130 establishes standards for the
reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components.
Comprehensive income is defined as revenue, expenses, gains and losses
under generally accepted accounting principles are excluded from net income
(such as extraordinary and non-recurring gains and losses).  SFAS No. 130
requires that items of comprehensive income be classified seperately in
the financial statements.  The statement also requires that the
accumulated balance of comprehensive income items be reported seperately
from retained earnings and paid-in capital in the equity section of the
balance sheet.  Management does not expect that the implementation of
SFAS No. 130 will have a material effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

8.   Financial Accounting Standards, No. 131

   The Company will be subject to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information" ("SFAS No. 131") for annual financial statements
issued for periods beginning after December 15, 1997.  SFAS No. 131 is
not required in interim financial statements in the initial year of
application.  SFAS No. 131 requires that financial and descriptive
information about operating segments of a company be provided.  Generally,
financial information will need to be reported on the same basis that is
used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to
allocate resources to segments.  SFAS No. 131 will require additional
financial disclosure by the Company, but will not have any effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

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

     The following discussion and analysis should be read
together with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included elsewhere herein.

OVERVIEW

     BioSource International, Inc.  ("BioSource") develops,
manufactures, markets and distributes products that are widely
used in biomedical research and are instrumental in the
development of new medical diagnostic methods and pharmaceutical
products.  The Company's products enable scientists to better
understand the biochemistry, immunology and cell biology of the
human body, aging and certain diseases such as cancer, arthritis
and other inflammatory diseases, AIDS and certain other
infectious diseases.  The Company's products include
immunological reagents, including bioactive proteins (cytokines,
growth factors and adhesion molecules) and monoclonal and
polyclonal antibodies.  The Company also develops, manufactures,
markets and distributes oligonucleotides and ELISA test kits, and
uses recombinant DNA technology to produce cytokines and other
proteins.  Because the Company's products are currently sold only
to the research market, the Company is not subject to regulation
by the FDA, and therefore undertakes none of the risks associated
with the research and development of new drugs.

     BioSource maintains manufacturing, laboratories and its
executive offices in Camarillo, California.  The Company
manufactures oligonucleotides at its laboratory facilities
located in Menlo Park, California.

     BioSource Europe, S.A. ("BioSource Europe"), the Company's
wholly owned subsidiary is incorporated under Belgian law and
maintains manufacturing laboratories and administrative offices
in Fleurus, Belgium.  BioSource Europe also has wholly owned
subsidiaries in France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.  On
May 31, 1997 BioSource Europe closed down its Italian sales office
located in Milan, Italy replacing the direct sales force with a
direct distributor.

Results of Operations

Revenue.  Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1997
increased $142,921 or 2.84% to $5,182,450 from $5,039,529 when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996.   Revenue for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 increased $4,854,582 or
44.9% to $15,675,306 from $10,820,724 when compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. Domestic revenue increased
$429,421 (16.8%) and $1,332,682 (17.6%) for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.   BioSource Europe
revenue decreased for the quarter ended $286,500 (-11.5%) and
increased $3,521,900 (108.4%) for the nine months ended September
30, 1997.

Consolidated revenue increased due to the increased sales from
domestic operations. The Company increased sales domestically
through the continued efforts of increasing sales to both
international and domestic customers of its core product lines.
Although revenue increased for BioSource Europe in its functional
currency, revenue recognized at the consolidated level decreased
due to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar in Europe when
translated into U.S. dollars from the foreign subsidiaries functional
currencies.

<PAGE 12>
Gross margins.  Gross margins as percentage of revenue for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 were 63.9%, an increase of 1.4%,
when compared to 62.5% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
Gross margins for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
stable at 64.0% when compared to 64.2% for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Domestic gross margins for BioSource for the
quarter ended September 30, 1997 remained relatively flat at 69.1%
when compared to 68.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996.
BioSource Europe recognized gross margins of 49.4% and 50.7% for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.
The Company recognizes lower margins in Europe due to higher costs
associated with the manufacturing of RIA (Radioimmunoassay) assays and
higher labor and fixed costs when compared to that of the United
States.

Research and development.  The Company's research and development
expenses increased $26,504 (5.9%) and $541,306 (54.9%) for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
Domestic research and development increased $12,844 (5.2%) and
$37,146 (18.9%) for the quarter and nine months ended September
30, 1997, respectively.  Research and development expenses for
BioSource Europe amounted to $216,500 and $661,000 for the
quarter ended and nine months ended September 30, 1997.  The increase
in expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1997, as
compared to the prior period, was mainly due to the incremental
expenses associated with the acquisition of BioSource Europe.  The
company also recognized additional expenses domestically due to the
continued development of its core product lines including new Elisa
assays and other biomedical research reagents.  The Company is also
continuing its research and product development efforts in the area
of molecular diagnostic assays which include quantitative and
qualitative assay test kits.

Sales and marketing.  Sales and marketing expenses increased
$68,625 (7.9%) and $1,294,553 (75.2%) for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  Domestic sales
and marketing expenses increased $140,627 (43.1%) and $416,755
(42.0%) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997,
respectively.  BioSource Europe sales and marketing expenses were
$ 475,898 and $1,606,698 for the quarter and nine months ended
September 30, 1997, respectively. The majority of the consolidated
sales and marketing expense increase was due to the incremental
sales and marketing expenses associated with BioSource Europe for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997.  For the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, BioSource Europe sales and marketing expenses
decreased due to the closure of the Italian subsidiary in May 1997
and management's successful efforts in controlling expenses in each
of the subsidiaries.  Domestic expenses increased in the areas of
additional marketing staff, travel, sales promotion expenditures,
which include advertising, catalog expenses, mailings and trade
show attendance.

General and administrative.  General and administrative increased
$44,468 (5.3%) and $947,381 (57.6%) for the quarter and nine
months ended September 30, 1997. Domestically, general and
administrative increased $92,159 (21.1%) and $240,059 (21.0%) for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30. 1997.  BioSource
Europe general and administrative expenses were $359,500 and
$1,201,800 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
1997, respectively.  The majority of the consolidated general and
administrative expenses increase for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was due to the incremental increase in expenses
assosciated with the acquisition of BioSource Europe.  For the quarter
ended September 30, 1997, BioSource Europe expenses decreased when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996, due to decreases
in expenses associated with the Italian subsidary closure and decreases
in expenses as a result of management's successful efforts of controlling
expenses in Germany and France.  Domestically, increased expenditures
were predominately in the areas of added personnel to support the growth of
the Company and the incremental increased expenses associated with being
a public company.

Provision for income taxes.  The provision for income taxes for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1997 was provided
at the effective rates of approximately 27.9% and 30.1% of
consolidated pretax earnings when compared to 35.9% and 35.1% for
the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1996.  U.S.
corporate taxes reflect the tax benefits of a foreign sales
corporation, credits for increased research and development
expenditures and the California manufacturers tax credit.

Net Income.  As a result of the above factors, net income
increased $49,021 (6.1%) $572,963 and (29.9%) for the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 1997 cash and cash equivalents, short &
long term marketable securities were $14,380,148 compared to
$14,935,478 at December 31, 1996.  Long term marketable
securities at September 30, 1997 amounted to $816,429 all of
which mature in 1998.  The Company invests its cash on hand in
low risk short-term commercial paper and U.S. treasury strips.
The Company's policy is to obtain the highest possible return,
maintain liquidity in its investments, to provide working capital
and to have the ability to react to future potential long term
investment opportunities in complimentary business, products or
technologies.

     Cash provided by operating activities was $630,957 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1997, a decrease of $1,789,898
when compared to $2,420,855 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.  Cash provided by operating activities for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 resulted primarily from
positive operating results.

     Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 amounted to $508,808, a decrease of $2,886,773 when compared
to $3,395,581 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996.
The capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
were abnormally high due to the acquisition of BioSource Europe and
equity offering.  Capital expenditures for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 included laboratory and computer equipment for
both BioSource Europe and domestic operations.  The Company also
purchased a fully integrated manufacturing and accounting software package
for BioSource Europe, which is the same as that used by its
domestic operations.  Management believes this investment will
improve reporting, increase efficiencies in manufacturing,
customer support and customer service.

     During the nine months ended on September 30, 1997, the
Company repurchased 109,500 shares of Company common
stock at a market value of $725,736.  In addition,  $134,744  was
received upon the exercise of stock options for the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 under the Company's stock incentive
plan.  In addition, $64,750 was received upon the exercise of a
warrant for 35,000 shares of common stock.

     Management of the Company expects to be able to meet its
future cash and working capital requirements for operations and
capital additions through currently available funds and cash
generated from operations.
