                           CPX CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
              FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read
in  conjunction  with  the  audited  financial  statements  and  notes  there to
contained  in the  Company's  Report on Form 10-K for the year  ended  March 31,
2000.  In the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  necessary  for a fair
presentation of the interim  operating  results are reflected  herein.  All such
adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. Results for the six months ended
September  30, 2000 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the results that may be
expected  either for any other  quarter in the year ending March 31, 2001 or for
the entire year ending March 31, 2001.

2.   Operations

     The Company  currently  has no operating  business.  Management is pursuing
various strategic  alternatives  which include the possible use of the Company's
remaining net assets to acquire, merge, consolidate or otherwise combine with an
operating business or businesses;  however,  there is no assurance that any such
alternatives will occur.

3.   Bankruptcy Plan and Distribution of Funds

     On October 28, 1998, CellPro, Incorporated ("CellPro") filed for bankruptcy
protection  under  Chapter 11 of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code,  Case No.
98-13604  in the United  States  Bankruptcy  Court for the  Western  District of
Washington,  Judge Karen Overstreet  presiding (the "Bankruptcy  Court"). On May
21,  1999 the  Bankruptcy  Court  issued an order  confirming  CellPro's  Second
Amended  Plan of  Reorganization  (the  "Plan")  dated as of May 10,  1999.  The
effective  date of the Plan  occurred on June 1, 1999, at which time the company
changed  its name to CPX Corp.  The Company  announced  in June 1999 that it had
changed its name to CPX Corp. from Cellpro, Incorporated. In accordance with the
plan the Company  distributed funds to equity holders in June 1999. In addition,
the Company made a final distribution in September 1999 based on the proceeds of
a legal settlement and the sale of its European subsidiaries.

4.   Net Income Per Share

     Presentation  of basic  earnings  per share  ("EPS") and diluted EPS on the
face of the consolidated  statements of operations is required for entities with
complex capital structures. Basic EPS is based on the weighted average number of
common shares  outstanding during the period. For the three and six months ended
September  30, 2000 and 1999,  there were no  potentially  dilutive  instruments
outstanding. Accordingly basic and fully diluted shares are the same.

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

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

OVERVIEW

     The Company filed a voluntary petition for reorganization  under Chapter 11
of the United  States  Bankruptcy  Code on October  28,  1998,  and the  Company
commenced  liquidation  shortly  thereafter.  The Company announced in June 1999
that it had  changed  its  name to CPX  Corp.  from  Cellpro,  Incorporated.  In
accordance with the plan the Company distributed funds to equity holders in June
1999. In addition, the Company made a final distribution in September 1999 based
on the proceeds of a legal settlement and the sale of its European subsidiaries.

     Except for disclosures that report the Company's  historical  results,  the
statements  set forth in this  section are  forward-looking  statements.  Actual
results  may differ  materially  from  those  projected  in the  forward-looking
statements.  Additional  information  concerning  factors  that may cause actual
results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is set
forth in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the  fiscal  year ended
March 31, 2000,  and in the  Company's  other  filings with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements,  which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company
assumes no obligation to update any such  forward-looking  statements or comment
on the reasons why actual results may differ therefrom.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company's  cash  and cash  equivalents  totaled  approximately  $1.304
million as of September 30, 2000 and  approximately  $1.277  million as of March
31, 2000. Net income of $56,000 for the six months ended  September 30, 2000 and
reduced  accounts  payable  generated the small  increase in cash. The Company's
working  capital balance at September 30, 2000 was  approximately  $1.3 million.
The  Company  is  seeking  an  acquisition  or other  business  combination  and
management  believes its cash  position is  sufficient  to cover  administrative
expenses and current  obligations  for the foreseeable  future.  There can be no
assurance  that the Company  will be able to locate or  purchase a business,  or
that any such business will be profitable.  In order to finance an  acquisition,
the Company may be required to incur or assume indebtedness or issue securities.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Income from  operations  for the three months ended  September 30, 2000 and
1999 were $54,000 and  $1,271,000,  respectively.  Income for the quarter  ended
September  30, 2000  included bank interest of $18,000 and refunds of previously
expensed legal fees of $40,000.  For the quarter ended September 30, 1999 income
consisted of $1.4 million for a settlement,  $8,000 interest earned,  and $2,000
in refunds.

     For the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 income was $56,000 and
$878,000,  respectively.  For the six months during 2000,  income items included
$35,000  interest and $40,000 for refunds.  The six month period ended September
30, 1999 income included $1.4 million legal settlement,  $250,000 reversal of an
administrative  reserve,  and  $168,000 for  interest.  All the income items are
considered other income as there was no revenue earned.

     General and  administrative  expenses for the three months ended  September
30,  2000,  and 1999 were $4,000 and  $389,000,  respectively.  The 2000 quarter
expenses were  accounting  and  administrative.  Legal  expenses  related to the
bankruptcy were the major component of the second quarter 1999 expenses. General
and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999
were $19,000 and $825,000, respectively, with each time period reflecting nearly
equal expenditure on administrative and legal.
