                         CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING
                           FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain  statements  included  in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB which are
not  statements of historical fact are intended to be, and are hereby identified
as,  "forward-looking  statements"  within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation  Reform  Act  of  1995.  The  Company  cautions  readers  that
forward-looking  statements  involve  known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other  factors that may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of
the  Company  to be materially different from any future results, performance or
achievement  expressed  or  implied  by  such  forward-looking statements.  Such
factors  include, among others, the following: the Company's inability to secure
adequate  capital  to  fund  operating  losses,  working  capital  requirements,
advertising  and promotional expenditures and principal and interest payments on
debt  obligations;  the ultimate level of consumer demand for the female condom;
factors  related  to  increased  competition  from  existing and new competitors
including  new  product  introduction, price reduction and increased spending on
marketing; limitations on the Company's opportunities to enter into and/or renew
agreements  with  international  partners;  the  failure  of  the Company or its
partners  to successfully market, sell, and deliver its product in international
markets;  risks  inherent  in  doing business on an international level, such as
laws  governing  medical  devices that differ from those in the U.S., unexpected
changes  in  regulatory  requirements,  political  risks,  export  restrictions,
tariffs,  and other trade barriers, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates;
the  disruption of production at the Company's manufacturing facility due to raw
material  shortages,  labor  shortages,  and/or physical damage to the Company's
facilities;  the  Company's  inability  to  manage  its  growth and to adapt its
administrative,  operational  and  financial control systems to the needs of the
expanded  entity; the failure of management to anticipate, respond to and manage
changing business conditions; the loss of the services of executive officers and
other  key  employees  and the Company's continued ability to attract and retain
highly-skilled  and  qualified  personnel;  and  the  costs and other effects of
litigation,  governmental  investigations,  legal  and  administrative cases and
proceedings,  settlements  and investigations, and developments or assertions by
or  against  the  Company  relating  to  intellectual  property  rights.

                   THE FEMALE HEALTH COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
          NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE  1  -  Basis  of  Presentation
            -----------------------

The  accompanying  financial  statements  are  unaudited  but  in the opinion of
management  contain  all  the  adjustments  (consisting  of  those  of  a normal
recurring  nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position
and  the  results  of  operations  and  cash  flow  for the periods presented in
conformity  with  generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information  and  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.

Operating  results  for  the  three  and nine months ended June 30, 2000 are not
necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year
ending  September  30, 2000.  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  fiscal  year  ended  September  30,  1999.

Principles  of  consolidation  and  nature  of  operations:
----------------------------------------------------------

The  consolidated  financial  statements include the accounts of the Company and
its  wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  The  Female Health Company - UK and The Female
Health Company - UK, plc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have  been eliminated in consolidation.  The Female Health Company ("FHC" or the
"Company")  is  currently engaged in the marketing, manufacture and distribution
of a consumer health care product known as the Reality female condom, "Reality,"
in the U.S. and "femidom" or "femy" outside the U.S. The Female Health Company -
UK,  is  the  holding  company  of  The  Female  Health Company - UK, plc, which
operates  a  40,000sq.  ft.  leased  manufacturing  facility  located in London,
England.

Reclassifaction:
---------------

Certain  expenses  on  the  statements of income for the quarter and nine months
ended  June  30,  1999  have  been  reclassified  to  be  consistent  with  the
presentation  shown  for  the  quarter  and  nine  months  ended  June 30, 2000.

NOTE  2  -  Earnings  Per  Share
            --------------------

Earnings  per share (EPS): Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to
-------------------------
common  stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period.  Diluted EPS is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential
common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential common
shares  consist  of  the  incremental  common shares issuable upon conversion of
convertible  preferred or convertible debt and the exercise of stock options and
warrants  for all periods. Fully diluted (loss) per share is not presented since
the  effect  would  be  anti-dilutive.

NOTE  3  -  Comprehensive  Income  (Loss)
            -----------------------------

Total  Comprehensive Loss was $(954,440) and $(3,323,002) for the three and nine
months  ended  June  30,  2000 and $(768,313) and $(2,479,199) for the three and
nine  months  ended  June  30,  1999.

NOTE  5  -  Sale  of  Convertible  Preferred  Stock
            ---------------------------------------

The  Company  has  outstanding  660,000  shares  of  8%  cumulative  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  - Series 1.  Each share of preferred stock is convertible into
one  share  of  the  Company's  Common Stock on or after August 1, 1998.  Annual
preferred stock dividends will be paid if and as declared by the Company's Board
of  Directors.  No  dividends  or  other  distributions  will  be payable on the
Company's Common Stock unless dividends are paid in full on the Preferred Stock.
The shares may be redeemed at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on
or  after August 1, 2000, subject to certain conditions, at $2.50 per share plus
accrued  and  unpaid dividends.  In the event of a liquidation or dissolution of
the  Company,  the  Preferred  Stock  -  Series  1  would have priority over the
Company's  Common  Stock.

NOTE  6  -  Financial  Condition
            --------------------

The  Company's  consolidated  financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of
liabilities  and  commitments  in  the  normal  course  of business. The Company
incurred  a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.2 million for the
nine  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and as of June 30, 2000 had an accumulated
deficit  of  $48.4 million. At June 30, 2000, the Company had working capital of
$(1.2)  million  and  stockholders' deficit of $(.3) million.  In the near term,
the  Company  expects  operating  and  capital costs to continue to exceed funds
generated  from  operations due principally to the Company's manufacturing costs
relative to current production volumes and the ongoing need to commercialize the
Female  Condom  around the world. As a result, operations in the near future are
expected  to  continue  to  use  working capital. Management recognizes that the
Company's continued operations depend on its ability to raise additional capital
through  a  combination  of  equity  or  debt financing, strategic alliances and
increased  sales  volumes.

At various points during the developmental stage of the product, the Company was
able  to  secure  resources,  in  large part through the sale of equity and debt
securities,  to  satisfy  its funding requirements. As a result, the Company was
able  to  obtain  FDA  approval,  worldwide rights, manufacturing facilities and
equipment  and  to  commercially  launch  the  Female  Condom.

<PAGE>
NOTE  6  -  Financial  Condition  -  (Continued)
          --------------------------------------
Management  believes that recent developments, including the Company's agreement
with  the  UNAIDS,  a  joint  United  Nations  program  on  HIV/AIDS, provide an
indication  of  the  Company's  early  success  in  broadening  awareness  and
distribution  of  the  Female  Condom  and  may  benefit future efforts to raise
additional capital and to secure additional agreements to promote and distribute
the  Female  Condom  throughout  other  parts  of  the  world.

On  September  29,  1997,  the  Company  entered  into  an agreement with Vector
Securities International, Inc. (Vector), an investment banking firm specializing
in  providing  financial  advisory  services  to  healthcare  and  life-science
companies.  Pursuant  to  this  agreement,  as extended, Vector has acted as the
Company's  exclusive financial advisor through June 30, 2000 for the purposes of
identifying and evaluating opportunities available to the Company for increasing
shareholder  value.  The  Company  and  Vector  are  discussing  extending these
arrangements.  These  opportunities  may include selling all or a portion of the
business,  assets  or  stock  of  the  Company  or  entering  into  one  or more
distribution  arrangements  relating  to  the Company's product. There can be no
assurance that any such opportunities will be available to the Company or, if so
available,  that  the Company will ultimately elect or be able to consummate any
such transaction. Management is currently determining whether the Company should
seek  to  extend  this  arrangement.

On May 19, 1999 and June 3, 1999 the Company issued an aggregate $1.5 million of
convertible  debentures  and  warrants  to  purchase  1,875,000  shares  of  the
Company's  common stock to five accredited investors. See Note 7 of the Notes to
Unaudited  Condensed  Consolidated  Financial  Statements for additional detail.

On  November 19, 1998, the Company executed an agreement with a private investor
(the  "Equity  Line Agreement"). This agreement provides for the Company, at its
sole  discretion,  subject  to  certain  restrictions,  to  sell  ("put") to the
investor  up to $6.0 million of the Company's Common Stock, subject to a minimum
put  of  $1.0  million  over  the  duration  of  the  agreement. The Equity Line
Agreement  expires  on  February  12, 2001 and, among other things, provides for
minimum  and  maximum  puts ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the
Company's  stock  price  and  trading volume.  Puts cannot occur more frequently
than every 20 trading days. Upon a proper put under this agreement, the investor
purchases  Common  Stock  at a discount of (a) 12% from the then current average
market  price of the Company's Common Stock, as determined under the Equity Line
Agreement,  if such average market price is at least $2 or (b) 18% from the then
current  average  market  price if such average market price is less than $2. In
addition,  the  Company is required to pay its placement agent sales commissions
in Common Stock or cash, at the placement agent's discretion, equal to 7% of the
funds raised under the Equity Line Agreement and issue warrants to the placement
agent  to  purchase  shares  of  Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.17 per
share,  equal  to  10%  of  the Shares sold by the Company under the Equity Line
Agreement.  Pursuant  to  the  Equity  Line  Agreement,  the  Company issued the
investor  a  Warrant  to  purchase  200,000  shares of Common Stock at $2.17 per
share.

<PAGE>
NOTE  6  -  Financial  Condition  -  (Continued)
          --------------------------------------

The  Company is required to draw down a minimum of $1 million during the term of
the  Equity  Line Agreement.  If the Company does not draw down the minimum, the
Company  is  required  to  pay  the investor a 12% fee on that portion of the $1
million minimum not drawn down at the end of the two-year period. As of June 30,
2000,  the  Company  has  placed  four  puts  for  the combined cash proceeds of
$582,000  providing  the  Selling Stockholders with a total of 680,057 shares of
the  Company's  Common  Stock.  Each  put was executed while the Company's stock
price  was below $2.00 per share and therefore, the common stock was sold at the
18%  discount.  The timing and amount of the stock sales under the agreement are
totally  at  the  Company's discretion, subject to the Company's compliance with
each  of  the following conditions at the time the Company requests a stock sale
under  the  agreement:

-     the  registration  statement  the  Company filed with the SEC for sales of
      stock  under  the  agreement  must  remain  in  effect;

-     all  of the Company's representations and warranties in the agreement must
      be accurate and the Company must have  complied  with all of the Company's
      obligations  in  the  Equity  Line  Agreement;

-     there  may  not be any injunction, legal proceeding or law prohibiting the
      Company's  sale  of  the  stock  to  Kingsbridge;

-     the  sale  must  not cause Kingsbridge's ownership of the Company's common
      stock  to  exceed  9.9%  of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
      stock;

-     the  trading  price  of the Company's common stock over a five trading day
      preceding the date of the sale must  equal  or exceed $1.00 per share; and

-     the  average  daily  trading volume of the Company's common stock for a 20
      trading  day  period  preceding  the date of the sale must equal or exceed
      17,000  shares.

The  trading price of the Company's common stock was below $1.00 per share as of
June  30,  2000.  Although  Kingsbridge  waived  the  condition  relating to the
trading  price of the Company's common stock for the fourth put completed during
the  quarter  ended  June  30,  2000,  the  Company  can  make no assurance that
Kingsbridge  will  waive  this condition or any other condition under the Equity
Line  Agreement  if the Company cannot satisfy such conditions to use the Equity
Line  Agreement  if  needed  in  the  future.

While  the Company believes that its existing capital resources will be adequate
to  fund  its  currently anticipated capital needs, if they are not, the Company
may  need  to  raise additional capital until its sales increase sufficiently to
cover  operating  expenses.  In  addition,  there  can  be no assurance that the
Company  will  satisfy the conditions required for it to exercise puts under the
Equity  Line  Agreement. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to realize all
of  the  funds  available  to  it  under  the  Equity  Line  Agreement.

NOTE  6  -  Financial  Condition  -  (Continued)
          --------------------------------------

Further,  there  can  be no assurances, assuming the Company successfully raises
additional funds or enters into business agreements with third parties, that the
Company  will  achieve  profitability  or positive cash flow.  If the Company is
unable  to  obtain  adequate  financing,  management will be required to sharply
curtail  the Company's efforts to commercialize the Female Condom and to curtail
certain  other  of  its  operations  or,  ultimately,  cease  operations.

NOTE  7  -  Sale  of  Convertible  Debentures
            ---------------------------------

On  May  19 and June 3, 1999, the Company issued an aggregate of $1.5 million of
convertible  debentures  and  warrants  to  purchase  1,875,000  shares  of  the
Company's common stock to five accredited investors. Interest on the convertible
debentures  is  payable  quarterly  at  a rate of 8% annually in cash or, at the
investors'  option,  common  stock  at  its then current fair market value. From
December 2, 1999 until February 11, 2000, interest on the convertible debentures
was  at the rate of 10% annually, and then returned to 8% annually. Repayment of
the  convertible  debentures  is  secured  by  a  first security interest in all
Company's  assets.  The  original  principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid
interest  of  the  convertible  debentures may be convertible into the Company's
common  stock  at  the investor's election at any time after one year based on a
per  share  price  equal  to  the  lesser  of (a) 70% of the market price of the
Company's  Common  Stock  at  the  time  of conversion or $1.00. The convertible
debentures were originally payable one year after issuance. However, the Company
elected  under the terms of the convertible debentures to extend the due date to
two  years  after  issuance.  As  a result of the Company electing to extend the
term  of  the debentures an additional year, the Company issued to the investors
at  the  time  of  extension,  additional warrants to purchase 375,000 shares of
Common  Stock  on  the  same  term  as  the  other  warrants.

Additionally, warrants to purchase 337,500 shares of Common Stock were issued to
the Company's placement agent in this offering. The warrants have a term of five
years and are exercisable at an exercise price equal to the lesser of 70% of the
market  price  of  the  Common  Stock  at  the  tome  of  the exercise or $1.00.

The  convertible  debentures beneficial conversion feature is valued at $336,400
and  the  warrants  to  purchase  1,875,000 shares of common stock are valued at
$715,100.  In  accordance with SEC reporting requirements for such transactions,
the Company recorded the value of the beneficial conversion feature and warrants
(a  total  of  $1,051,500)  as  additional  paid  in  capital.

The corresponding amount of $1,051,500 was recorded as a discount on convertible
debentures  and  is  amortized  over  1  year  using  the  interest rate method.

NOTE 8 - Industry Segments And Financial Information About Foreign and  Domestic
         -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Operations
----------

The  Company currently operates primarily in one industry segment which includes
the  development,  manufacture  and  marketing of consumer health care products.

The  Company  operates  in  foreign and domestic regions.  Information about the
Company's  operations  in different geographic areas (determined by the location
of  the  operating  unit)  is  as  follows:

</TABLE>

On occasion, the Company's U.S. unit sells product directly to customers located
outside  the  U.S.  Were such transactions reported by geographic destination of
the sale rather than the geographic location of the unit, U.S. revenues would be
decreased and International revenues increased by $36,540 and $96,514 as of June
30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.  Additionally, U.S. operating loss reflects
$2,227,625  and  $1,075,330  of unallocated worldwide corporate overhead for the
nine  months  ended  June  30,  2000  and  1999,  respectively.

The  Female  Health  Company  ("FHC" or the "Company") manufactures, markets and
sells  THE  FEMALE  CONDOM  around  the  world.  It  is the only product under a
woman's  control which can prevent unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted
diseases  ("STDs"),  including  HIV/AIDS.

The  female  condom  has  undergone  extensive  testing for efficacy, safety and
acceptability,  not  only  in  the  United States but also in over 40 additional
countries.  Certain  of  these  studies  show  that  having  the  female  condom
available  increases  protected  sex  acts  and decreases the incidence of STDs.

The  product  is  currently  sold  or  available  in  various  venues  including
commercial  (private  sector)  and public sector clinics in 75 countries.  It is
commercially  marketed  directly  by  the  Company  in the United States and the
United Kingdom and through marketing partners in 15 countries, including Canada,
France  and  Japan.  The  Company  is  currently  in  discussions with potential
distributors  for  certain  European  countries, India, The People's Republic of
China  and  other  countries.

As  noted  above, the female condom is sold to the global public sector.  In the
U.S., the product is marketed to city and state public health clinics as well as
not-for-profit organizations such as Planned Parenthood. Following several years
of  testing  the  efficacy  and acceptability of the female condom, in 1996, the
Company  entered  into  a  three-year  agreement  with  the Joint United Nations
Programme  on  AIDS  (UNAIDS)  which  has  subsequently  been  extended.  In the
agreement,  UNAIDS  facilitates  the availability and distribution of the female
condom  in  the developing world and the Company sells the product to developing
countries  at  a reduced price based on the total number of units purchased. The
current  price  per unit is approximately  0.38 (Pounds) (or $0.58). Pursuant to
this  agreement,  the  product  is currently available in 51 countries including
Zambia, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Brazil, Uganda, South Africa, and Haiti. The Company
anticipates  multiple  launches  will occur during the next two years under this
agreement,  including  launches  in Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Cambodia, Bangladesh,
Columbia  and  Central  American  countries.

Product

The  female  condom  is made of polyurethane, a thin but strong material that is
resistant  to  rips  and tears during use. The female condom consists of a soft,
loose  fitting  sheath  and  two  flexible  O rings. One of the rings is used to
insert the device and helps to hold it in place.  The other ring remains outside
the vagina after insertion.  The female condom lines the vagina, preventing skin
from  touching  skin  during intercourse. The female condom is prelubricated and
disposable  and  is  intended  for  use  during  only  one  sex  act.

Global  Market  Potential

MALE CONDOM MARKET: It is estimated the global male condom market is 5.4 billion
units.  The  major  segments  are  in the Global Public Sector, the U.S., Japan,
India  and  China.

The  World  Health  Organization (WHO) estimates there are more than 300 million
new cases of STDs worldwide each year, excluding HIV, and most of those diseases
are  more  easily  transmitted to women than to men. UNAIDS estimates that there
are  currently  approximately  34 million people worldwide who are infected with
HIV/AIDS  and  there  are  approximately  16,000  people  per  day who are newly
infected.  In  the  United  States, the Center for Disease Control noted that in
1995,  five  of  the ten most frequently reported diseases were STDs. The Center
also has noted that one in five Americans over the age of 12 has Herpes and 1 in
every  3  sexually active people will get an STD by age 24.  Women are currently
the  fastest  growing  group  infected with HIV and are expected to comprise the
majority  of  the  new  cases  by  the  coming  year.

Currently  there are only two products that prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS
through  sexual  intercourse  --the  latex  male  condom  and the female condom.

The  Company  is  currently in discussion with WHO and UNAIDS regarding the role
the  Female  Condom  will  play as part of the International Partnership Against
Aids  in  Africa.  The  partnership  is  a coalition of African governments, the
United  Nations,  donors  and  the private and community sectors. Its mission is
over  the next decade to help reduce the number of new HIV infections in Africa,
promote care of HIV positive persons and to mobilize society to halt the advance
of  AIDS.

Advantages  vs.  the  Male  Condom

The  female  condom is currently the only available barrier contraceptive method
controlled  by  women  which  allows  them to protect themselves from unintended
pregnancy  and  STDs, including HIV/AIDS. The most important advantage is that a
woman  can  control  whether  or not she is protected as many men do not like to
wear  male  condoms  and  may  refuse  to  do  so.

The  polyurethane material that is used for the female condom offers a number of
benefits  over  latex,  the material that is most commonly used in male condoms.
Polyurethane  is  40%  stronger  than  latex,  reducing the probability that the
female  condom  sheath  will tear during use.  Clinical studies and everyday use
have  shown  that  latex  male condoms can tear as much as 4% to 8% of the times
they  are used. Unlike latex, polyurethane quickly transfers heat, so the female
condom  immediately  warms  to  body  temperature when it is inserted, which may
result  in  increased  pleasure and sensation during use.  The product offers an
additional  benefit to the 7% to 20% of the population that is allergic to latex
and  who, as a result, may be irritated by latex male condoms.  To the Company's
knowledge,  there  is  no  reported allergy to date to polyurethane.  The female
condom  is  also more convenient, providing the option of insertion hours before
sexual  arousal  and  as a result is less disruptive during sexual intimacy than
the  male  condom  which  requires  sexual  arousal  for  application.

Cost  Effectiveness

Over  the  past  two  years  several studies have been completed which show that
providing  the  female  condom  in  public clinics in both the United States and
countries  in  the  developing world, is at a minimum cost effective and usually
cost  saving.  This  is  important  information  for  governments  to  have  in
determining where their public health dollars are allocated.  These studies have
been  or  are  about  to  be  published and also presented at various scientific
meetings  around  the  world.

Worldwide  Regulatory  Approvals

The  female  condom received PMA approval as a Class III Medical Device from the
FDA  in  1993.  The  extensive clinical testing and scientific data required for
FDA approval laid the foundation for approvals throughout the rest of the world,
including  receipt  of  a CE Mark in 1997 which allows the Company to market the
female  condom  throughout the EU.  In addition to the United States and the EU,
several  other  countries  have  approved  the female condom for sale, including
Canada,  Japan,  Russia,  Australia,  South  Korea  and  Taiwan.

The  Company  believes  that,  in  addition  to  its patent coverage, the female
condom's  PMA  approval  and  FDA  classification  as a Class III Medical Device
create  a significant barrier to entry in the US.  The Company estimates that it
would  take a minimum of four to six years to implement, execute and receive FDA
approval  of  a  PMA  to  market  another  type  of  female  condom.

The  Company  believes there are no material issues or material costs associated
with the Company's compliance with environmental laws related to the manufacture
and  distribution  of  the  female  condom.

Strategy

The Company's strategy is to act as a manufacturer, selling the female condom to
the  global  public  sector, United States public sector and commercial partners
for  country-specific  marketing.  The  public  sector  and  commercial partners
assume  the  cost of shipping and marketing the product.  As a result, as volume
increases,  the  Company's  operating  expenses will not increase significantly.


                                       16
<PAGE>
Commercial  Markets

The  Company  markets  the  product  directly  in  the  United States and United
Kingdom.  The  Company  has commercial partners who have launched the product in
15  countries including Canada, Japan, and France. The most recent launch was in
Japan  on  April  25,  2000 by the Company's partner, Taiho Pharmaceuticals.  To
date,  the  launch  and  results  are  proceeding  as  planned.

Relationships  and  Agreements  with  Public  Sector  Organizations

Currently,  it  is  estimated more than 1.7 billion male condoms are distributed
worldwide  by  the  public  sector  each  year.  The female condom is seen as an
important addition to prevention strategies by the public sector because studies
show that making the female condom available decreases the amount of unprotected
sex  by  as  much  as  one-third  over  offering  only  a  male  condom.

The  Company  has a multi-year agreement with UNAIDS to supply the female condom
to  developing  countries at a reduced price which is negotiated each year based
on the Company's cost of production. The current price per unit is approximately
0.38  (pounds)  (or  $.58).

In  the  United  States, the product is marketed to city and state public health
clinics,  as  well  as  not-for-profit organizations such as Planned Parenthood.
Currently  10 major cities and 15 state governments, including the states of New
York,  Pennsylvania,  Florida, Mississippi, California, Louisiana, Maryland, New
Jersey, South Carolina and Illinois and the cities of Chicago, Philadelphia, New
York  and  Houston  have purchased the product for distribution with a number of
others  expressing  interest. All major cities and states have reordered product
after  their  initial  shipments.

State-of-the-Art  Manufacturing  Facility

The  Company  manufactures  the  female  condom  in  a 40,000 square-foot leased
facility  in London, England.  The facility is currently capable of producing 60
million  units  per  year.  With  additional  equipment,  this  capacity  can be
significantly  increased.

Government  Regulation

In  the  U.S., the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulate the female
condom. Pursuant to section 515(a)(3) of the Safe Medical Amendments Act of 1990
(the  "SMA  Act"),  the  FDA  may  temporarily  suspend  approval  and  initiate
withdrawal  of  the Pre-Market Approval ("PMA") if the FDA finds that the female
condom is unsafe or ineffective, or on the basis of new information with respect
to  the device, which, when evaluated together with information available at the
time  of  approval,  indicates a lack of reasonable assurance that the device is
safe  or  effective  under  the  conditions  of  use prescribed, recommended, or
suggested  in  the  labeling.  Failure  to  comply  with  the  conditions of FDA
approval  invalidates  the  approval order.  Commercial distribution of a device
that  is  not in compliance with these conditions is a violation of the SMA Act.

Competition

The  Company's female condom participates in the same market as male condoms but
is  not  seen  as competing - rather additive in terms of prevention and choice.
However,  it  should  be  noted that latex male condoms cost less and have brand
names that are more widely recognized than the female condom.  In addition, male
condoms  are generally manufactured and marketed by companies with significantly
greater  financial  resources  than the Company.  It is also possible that other
parties  may  develop  a  female  condom.  These  competing  products  could  be
manufactured,  marketed  and  sold  by  companies  with  significantly  greater
financial  resources  than  those  of  the  Company.

Patents  and  Trademarks

The Company currently holds product and technology patents in the United States,
Japan,  the  United  Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the European Patent
Convention, Canada, The People's Republic of China, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong
Kong  and  Australia.  These  patents  expire between 2005 and 2113.  Additional
product  and  technology  patents  are  pending in Brazil, South Korea, Germany,
Japan  and  several  other  countries.  The patents cover the key aspects of the
female  condom,  including  its  overall  design  and manufacturing process. The
Company licenses the trademark "Reality" in the United States and has trademarks
on  the names "femidom" and "femy" in certain foreign countries. The Company has
also  secured,  or  applied  for,  27  trademarks in 14 countries to protect the
various  names  and  symbols used in marketing the product around the world.  In
addition, the experience that has been gained through years of manufacturing the
female  condom  has  allowed  the Company to develop trade secrets and know-how,
including  certain  proprietary  production technologies that further secure its
competitive  position.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS
-----------------------

THREE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE 30, 2000 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

The  Company  had  net revenues of $1,377,932 and a net loss of $865,702 for the
three  months  ended  June 30, 2000 compared to net revenues of $1,611,975 and a
net  loss  of  $1,048,325  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1999.

The  Company's  operating loss for the 3 months ended June 30, 2000 was $533,070
compared  to  $831,146  for  the same period last year for a decrease of 36%. As
discussed more fully below, the decrease in the Company's net operating loss was
result  of  an  increase  in  gross  profit  coupled with a decrease in selling,
general  and administrative expenses. The decrease in the net loss resulted from
the  reduction  in  the  net  operating  loss  offset somewhat by an increase in
non-operating  interest  expenses.  This  is  the  second consecutive quarter in
which  the  Company  has  registered  a  gross  profit  without  adjustment.

Net  revenues  decreased  $234,043 in the current quarter, or 15%, compared with
the same period last year. The lower net revenues occurred because of lower unit
sales  shipped to domestic customers. The Company expects significant quarter to
quarter  variation  due  to  the  timing  of receipt of large orders, subsequent
production  scheduling, and shipping of products as various countries launch the
product.  The Company believes this variation between quarters will continue for
several  quarters  to  come  until  reorders form an increasing portion of total
sales.


                                       18
<PAGE>
Cost  of goods sold decreased $364,784 to $1,220,769 in the current quarter from
$1,585,553 for the same period last year. The cost of goods sold as a percentage
of  sales improved to 89% in the current quarter compared to 98% during the same
period  in the prior year. The decline in the percentage is a result of a larger
portion of the Company's total sales being comprised of international and global
public  sector  business  (61%)  than  during  the same period in the prior year
(52%).  The  costs  of  goods  sold per unit for international and global public
sector  business  is  less  expensive because of the efficiencies related to the
production  of  the  bulk  sized  product  sold.

Advertising  and  promotional  expenditures  increased  $9,869 to $54,358 in the
current  quarter  from  $44,489  for  the  same  period  in  the  prior  year.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased $177,204, or 22%, to
$635,875  in  the  current  quarter from $813,079 for the same period last year.
The  decrease  reflects a decrease in consulting and legal fees than incurred in
the  prior  fiscal  year's  third  quarter.

Net  interest  and non-operating expenses increased $154,465 to $268,690 for the
current  period from $114,225 for the same period last year. The increase exists
because  the Company had a higher level of debt outstanding than the same period
last  year, as a result of the issuance of convertible debentures. The result is
a larger amount of non-cash expenses incurred from the amortization of discounts
on  notes payable and convertible debentures than the third quarter of the prior
year.

NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE  30,  2000 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999

The  Female  Health  Company  had  net  revenues of $3,923,425 and a net loss of
$3,225,119  for  the nine months ended June 30, 2000 compared to net revenues of
$3,409,695 and a net loss of $3,143,280 for the nine months ended June 30, 1999.

The Company's operating loss for the 9 months ended June 30, 2000 was $1,942,792
compared  to  $2,726,534 for the same period last year for a decrease of 29%. As
discussed  in  more  detail  in  the  following  paragraphs, the decrease in the
Company's  net  operating  loss  was  a  result of gross profit improvements and
reductions  in  operating expenses principally from a decline in advertising and
promotion  expenses.  The  increase in the net loss resulted from an increase in
non-operating  interest  expenses  and  amortization of debt issuance costs more
than offsetting the reduced operating loss.  As a result, the Company recorded a
gross  profit  of $311,209 for the nine month period in 2000 versus a gross loss
of  $378,090  for  the  same  1999  period.

For  the  nine  months  ended June 30, 2000, net revenues increased $513,730, or
15%,  compared  with the same period last year. The higher net revenues occurred
because  of  increased  unit  sales  shipped  to  international  customers.

Units  shipped  and  orders  in-house totaled 7.4 million units at June 30, 2000
compared  to  4.9  million  at June 30, 1999 for an increase of 51%. The Company
expects significant quarter to quarter variation due to the timing of receipt of
large  orders,  subsequent  production  scheduling,  and shipping of products as
various  countries  launch  the  product.  The  Company  believes this variation
between  quarters will continue for several quarters to come until reorders form
an  increasing  portion  of  total  sales.


                                       19
<PAGE>
Cost  of goods sold decreased $175,569, or 5%, to $3,612,216 for the nine months
ended  June 30, 2000 from $3,787,785 for the same period last year. The decrease
occurred  as  a  result  of  a larger portion of the Company's total sales being
comprised  of  international and global public sector business (68%) than during
the  same  period  in  the prior year (46%). The cost of goods sold per unit for
international and global public sector business is less expensive because of the
efficiencies  related  to  the  production  of  the  bulk  sized  product  sold.

Advertising  and promotional expenditures decreased $50,333, or 23%, to $169,000
for the nine months ended June 30, 2000 from $219,333 for the same period in the
prior  year.  Advertising  and  promotion relates almost exclusively to the U.S.
consumer market, and includes the costs of print advertising, trade and consumer
promotions,  product samples and other marketing costs.  Through expenditures to
date,  the  Company  has  established  that  the  Female Condom is responsive to
promotion;  but  due  to the Company's size, it doesn't possess the resources to
conduct  a  significant  marketing  program.  Accordingly,  the  Company  is  in
discussions  with  potential  partners  for  the U.S. that have the resources to
conduct  such  a  marketing  program.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  $44,110,  or 2%, to
$2,085,001  in the current period from $2,129,111 for the same period last year.
The  decrease  reflects a decrease in consulting and legal fees than incurred in
the  prior  year's  first  nine  months.

Amortization  of debt issuance costs increased $176,026 to $245,676 for the nine
months  ended  June 30, 2000 from $69,650 for the same period in the prior year.
The  increase  is due to the amortization period of debt issuance costs relating
to  the  issuance  of convertible debentures in May and June 1999. See Note 7 of
the  Notes  to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further
detail  regarding  the  specifics  of  the  transaction.

Net  interest  and non-operating expenses increased $692,519 to $937,561 for the
current  period  from  $245,042 for the same period the prior year. The increase
exists  because  the  Company  had a higher level of debt outstanding during the
current  fiscal  year than the same period last year as a result of the issuance
of  convertible  debentures.  The result is a larger amount of non-cash expenses
incurred  from  the  amortization  of discounts on notes payable and convertible
debentures  than  the  first  nine  months  of  the  prior  year.

Factors  That  May  Affect  Operating  Results  and  Financial  Condition

The  Company's future operating results and financial condition are dependent on
the Company's ability to increase demand for and to cost-effectively manufacture
sufficient  quantities  of  the  female  condom.  Inherent  in this process is a
number  of factors that the Company must successfully manage in order to achieve
favorable  future  results  and  improve  its  financial  condition.


                                       20
<PAGE>
Reliance  on  a  Single  Product

The  Company  expects  to  derive  the  vast majority, if not all, of its future
revenues  from  the  female  condom, its sole current product.  While management
believes  the global potential for the female condom is significant, the product
is in the early stages of commercialization and, as a result, the ultimate level
of  consumer  demand  around  the  world is not yet known. To date, sales of the
female  condom  have not been sufficient to cover the Company's operating costs.

Distribution  Network

The  Company's  strategy  is  to  act  as a manufacturer and to develop a global
distribution network for the product by completing partnership arrangements with
companies  with the necessary marketing and financial resources and local market
expertise.  To  date,  this  strategy  has  resulted  in  numerous  in-country
distributions  in  the  public sector, particularly in Africa and Latin America.
Several  partnership agreements have been completed for the commercialization of
the  female  condom  in  private  sector markets around the world.  However, the
Company  is  dependent  on  country governments as well as city and state public
health  departments  within  the  United  States to continue their commitment to
prevention  of  STDs,  including  AIDS,  by  including  female  condoms in their
programs.  The Company is also dependent on finding appropriate partners for the
private  sector  markets  around the world.  Once an agreement is completed, the
Company is reliant on the effectiveness of its partners to market and distribute
the  product.  Failure  by  the  Company's  partners  to successfully market and
distribute  the  female  condom  or  failure of country governments to implement
prevention  programs  which  include distribution of barrier methods against the
AIDS  crisis, or an inability of the Company to secure additional agreements for
AIDS  crisis, or an inability of the Company to secure additional agreements for
new  markets  either in the public or private sectors could adversely affect the
Company's  financial  condition  and  results  of  operations.

Inventory  and  Supply

All  of  the  key  components  for  the  manufacture  of  the  female condom are
essentially  available from either multiple sources or multiple locations within
a  source.

Global  Market  and  Foreign  Currency  Risks

The  Company  manufactures  the  female  condom  in a leased facility located in
London,  England.  Further,  a  material  portion  of the Company's sales are in
foreign markets. Manufacturing costs and sales to foreign markets are subject to
normal  currency  risks  associated with changes in the exchange rate of foreign
currencies  relative  to  the  United  States  dollar.  To  date,  the Company's
management has not deemed it necessary to utilize currency hedging strategies to
manage  its  currency  risks.  On  an  ongoing  basis,  management  continues to
evaluate  its commercial transactions and is prepared to employ currency hedging
strategies  when  it believes such strategies are appropriate. In addition, some
of  the  Company's future international sales may be in developing nations where
dramatic  political or economic changes are possible. Such factors may adversely
affect  the  Company's  results  of  operations  and  financial  condition.


                                       21
<PAGE>
Government  Regulation

The  female  condom is subject to regulation by the FDA, pursuant to the federal
Food,  Drug  and  Cosmetic  Act  ("the FDA Act"), and by other state and foreign
regulatory  agencies.  Under  the  FDC  Act,  medical  devices  must receive FDA
clearance  before they can be sold.  FDA regulations also require the Company to
adhere to certain "Good Manufacturing Practices," which include testing, quality
control  and  documentation procedures. The Company's compliance with applicable
regulatory  requirements  is  monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA.
The failure to comply with applicable regulations may result in fines, delays or
suspensions  of  clearances,  seizures  or  recalls  of  products,  operating
restrictions,  withdrawal  of  FDA  approval  and  criminal  prosecutions.  The
Company's  operating  results  and  financial  condition  could  be  materially
adversely  affected  in  the  event  of  a  withdrawal of approval from the FDA.

Liquidity  and  Sources  of  Capital

Historically,  the  Company  has  incurred  cash  operating  losses  relating to
expenses  incurred  to  develop and promote the Female Condom.  During the first
nine  months  of  fiscal 2000, cash used in operations totaled $.8 million.  The
Company  used  net  proceeds from the issuance of the Company's common stock and
cash  on  hand  in  order  to  fund  cash  used  in  operations.

While  the  Company  believes  that  its  existing  capital resources (including
expected  proceeds  from  sales  of  common  stock  pursuant  to the Equity Line
Agreement)  will be adequate to fund its currently anticipated capital needs, if
they  are not, the Company will need to raise additional capital until its sales
increase  sufficiently  to  cover operating expenses. Until internally generated
funds  are  sufficient  to  meet  cash  requirements,  the  Company  will remain
dependent  upon its ability to generate sufficient capital from outside sources.
See  Note  6  to  the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information  regarding  the  Company's  liquidity  and  sources  of  capital.

At  June 30, 2000, the Company had current liabilities of $3.5 million including
a  $1.0  million note payable due March 25, 2001 and a $250,000 note payable due
February  12,  2001 both to Mr. Dearholt, a Director of the Company.  As of June
30,  2000,  Mr.  Dearholt  beneficially  owns  2,496,720 shares of the Company's
Common  Stock.

The  Company  also secured a $50,000 note payable due February 18, 2001 from Mr.
Parrish,  the  Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
As  of  June  30,  2000,  Mr.  Parrish  beneficially  owns 696,501 shares of the
Company's  Common  Stock.

On  June  14,  2000,  the  Company  sold  500,000  shares of Common Stock to two
investors,  including  400,000  shares  to a trust for the benefit of one of Mr.
Dearholt's  children,  at a price of $0.50 per share, representing a discount of
6%  of  the  market  price  of  the  Common  Stock  on  that  date.

In  the  near term, the Company's management expects operating and capital costs
to  continue  to  exceed funds generated from operations, due principally to the
Company's  fixed  manufacturing costs relative to current production volumes and
the  ongoing  need  to  commercialize the Female Condom around the world.  It is
estimated  that the Company's cash burn rate, without revenues, is approximately
$0.1  million  per  month.

                                       22
<PAGE>
While  management  believes  that  revenue  from sales of the Female Condom will
eventually  exceed  operating  costs,  and  that,  ultimately,  operations  will
generate  sufficient  funds  to  meet  capital  requirements,  there  can  be no
assurance  that  such  level  of  operations  ultimately will be achieved, or be
achieved  in the near term. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the Company
will  be  able  to source all or any portion of its required capital through the
sale  of  debt or equity or, if raised, the amount will be sufficient to operate
the  Company  until  sales  of the Female Condom generate sufficient revenues to
fund  operations.  In  addition,  any  funds raised may be costly to the Company
and/or  dilutive  to  stockholders.

If  the  Company  is not able to source the required funds or any future capital
which  becomes required, the Company may be forced to sell certain of its assets
or  rights  or  cease operations.  Further, if the Company is not able to source
additional  capital,  the  lack  of  funds  to  promote  the  Female  Condom may
significantly limit the Company's ability to realize value from the sale of such
assets  or  rights or otherwise capitalize on the investments made in the Female
Condom.

IMPACT  OF  INFLATION  AND  CHANGING  PRICES

Although  the  Company  cannot  accurately  determine  the  precise  effect  of
inflation,  the  Company  has  experienced increased costs of product, supplies,
salaries  and  benefits,  and  increased  selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses.  Historically,  the  Company has absorbed increased costs and expenses
without  increasing  selling  prices.

ITEM  2.  CHANGES  IN  SECURITIES  AND  USE  OF  PROCEEDS.
----------------------------------------------------------


     2(c)  The  Company  sold 500,000 shares of common stock to two investors in
June  2000,  including  400,000  shares to a trust for the benefit of a child of
Stephen  M.  Dearholt,  a  director  of  the Company.  The Company received cash
proceeds  of $250,000 from this sale.  The Company believes it has satisfied the
exemption  from the securities registration requirement provided by section 4(2)
of  the  Securities Act and Regulation D promulgated thereunder in this offering
since  the  securities  were  sold  in  a  private  placement  to sophisticated,
accredited  investors,  who  provided  representations  which the Company deemed
necessary  to  satisfy itself that were accredited investors and were purchasing
for  investment  and  not  with  a  view  to  resale in connection with a public
offering.

     On  May  19, 2000 and June 3, 2000, the Company issued warrants to purchase
375,000  shares  of  common  stock  to  five  investors,  in connection with the
one-year  extension  of  the due date of a $1,500,000 convertible debenture. The
exercise price of the warrants is the lesser of 70% of market value or $1.00 per
share.  The  warrants  expire  upon  the earlier of their exercise or four years
after  the  date  of their issuance.  The Company believes that it has satisfied
the  exemption  from the securities registration requirement provided by section
4(2)  of  the  Securities  Act  in  connection  with  this  issuance.

     During  the quarter ended June 30, 2000, the Company sold 197,093 shares of
Common  Stock to a private investor under an equity line agreement.  The Company
received  net  cash  proceeds  of  $97,000.  The  Company  believes  that it has
satisfied  the  exemption  from the securities registration requirement provided
by  section  4(2)  of  the  Securities  Act  in  connection  with this issuance.

ITEM  4.  SUBMISSION  OF  MATTERS  TO  A  VOTE  OF  SECURITY  HOLDERS
