           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The unaudited financial statements as of June 30, 1997 and for
the six month and three month periods ended June 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 June 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.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities 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 and
   operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. 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.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities
   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.   Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128

   The Financial Accounting Standards Board recently issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 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.

 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 June 30, 1997
increased $1,781,778 or 54.6%% to $5,044,416 from $3,262,638
when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996.   Revenue
for the six months ended June 30, 1997 increased $4,711,661
or 81.5% to $10,492,856 from $5,781,195 when compared to the
six months ended June 30, 1996. Domestic revenue increased
$308,278 (12%) and $903,261 (18%) for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.   BioSource Europe
revenue increased $1,473,500 (93%) and $3,808,400 (498%) for
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
when compared to the prior period which reflected only one
month's revenue from BioSource Europe.

The increase in consolidated revenue is due to the increased
revenue from BioSource Europe for the related periods and
the continued increased sales from the Company's ELISA test
kits both domestically and internationally.  ELISA test kits
sales increased 41% and 51% for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 1997, respectively.

<PAGE 12>
GROSS MARGINS.  Gross margins as percentage of revenue for
the quarter ended June 30, 1997 were 64.6%, a decrease 0.5%,
when compared to 65.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 1996.
Gross margins for the six months ended June 30, 1997 were
64.1%, a decrease of 1.5%, when compared to 65.6% for the
six months ended June 30, 1996. Domestic gross margins for
BioSource for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 remained
constant at  67.6% when compared to the quarter ended June
30, 1996. BioSource Europe recognized gross margins of 51.5%
and 51.8% for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997, respectively.   The primary factor for the decrease in
consolidated gross margins is from the lower margins
recognized in Europe as compared to the domestic operations.
The Company recognized 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 $234,591 (81.0%) and $514,802
(96.5%) for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996,
respectively.  Domestic research and development increased
$79,691 (33.8%) and $124,302 (25.9%) for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  Research and
development expenses for BioSource Europe amounted to
$208,900 and $444,500 for the quarter ended and six months
ended June 30, 1997.  The major increase in expenses is due
to the additional expenses incurred with the acquisition of
BioSource Europe expenses. The Company recognized additional
expenses domestically due to the continued development of
new Elisa assays and other reagents including a quantitative
and qualitative ELISA assay kit ViralQuant which is used for
the detection of  Cytomeglovirus ("CMV"), one of the eight
recognized members of the herpes virus family.  The CMV kit
is the first in a series of molecular diagnostic assays
being developed by the Company.  This kit can measure the
viral load and the state of the CMV infection in transplant
and AIDS patients and is useful for clinical research.

SALES AND MARKETING.  Sales and marketing expenses increased
$508,795 (100.0%) and $1,241,733 (149.2%) for the quarter
and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  Domestic
sales and marketing expenses increased $152,356 (45.8%) and
$276,128 (41.4%) for the quarter and six months ended June
30, 1997, respectively.  BioSource Europe sales and
marketing expenses were $532,500 and $1,130,800 for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.
The majority of the consolidated sales and marketing expense
increase was due to the incremental sales and marketing
expenses associated with the acquisition of BioSource Europe.
On May 31, 1997 the Italian subsidiary was closed down and
replaced by a distributor located in Milan, Italy.  The
expenses related to the closure were minimal as the most
significant portion of the expenses were employee severance
payments which under Italian law, are accrued per pay period.
Therefore, no significant expenses were associated with the
Italian closure. The additional domestic expenses were in the
areas of increased marketing staff, travel, sales promotion
expenditures, which include advertising, catalog expenses,
mailings and trade show attendance.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE.  General and administrative
increased $396,071 (89.4%) and $887,109 (108.6%) for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997. Domestically,
general and administrative increased $77,083 (22.4%) and
$147,901(20.9%) for the quarter and six months ended June
30. 1997.  BioSource Europe general and administrative
expenses were $412,900 and $842,300 for the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 1997, respectively.  The domestic
increased expenditures were mainly in the areas of added
personnel to support the growth of the Company, employee
relocation costs, insurance premiums, audit fees and
other general business expense.

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES.  Income before income taxes
increased $141,261 (15.3%) to $1,063,535 and $665,069
(38.8%) to $2,377,285 for the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1997, respectively.  The majority of the increase
came from domestic operations in the amount of $255,749 and
$623,297 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997.
BioSource Europe recognized $50,900 and $208,999 in income
before taxes for the quarter and six months ended June 30,
1997.

<PAGE 13>
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES.  The provision for income taxes
for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1997 was
provided at the effective rate of approximately 27.4% and
31.2% of consolidated pretax earnings when compared to 35.9%
and 35.1% for the quarter and six months ended June 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.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At June 30, 1997 cash and cash equivalents, short &
long term marketable securities were $14,169,943 compared to
$14,935,478 at December 31, 1996.  Long term marketable
securities at June 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.

     The Company expended  $6,066 of cash from its
operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 1997,
a decrease of $1,949,726, when compared to $1,943,660 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease in cash from operating
activities is due to the net changes in current assets and
liabilities for the first six months of 1997 in addition to the
effect of the strength of the U.S. dollar against the Belgian
Franc at June 30, 1997 as compared to December 31, 1996.

     Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30,
1997 amounted to $518,070, a decrease of $2,820,765 when
compared to $3,338,835 for the six months ended June 30,
1996.   Capital expenditures for the six months ended June
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 currently
being used for its domestic operations.  Management believes
this investment will improve reporting, increase
efficiencies in manufacturing,  customer support and
customer service.

     During the first six months of 1997, the Company purchased
and retired 43,000 shares of Company common stock at a market
value of $311,567 as part of its previous public announcement
of implementing a stock repurchase program.  In addition, $100,102
was received upon the exercise of stock options for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 under the Company's stock incentive plan.

     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.
