NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements include the accounts of Embrex,
Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Embrex Europe Limited and Embrex Sales,
Inc. (collectively referred to as the Company) and have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required
by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation of financial condition and results of operations have been
included. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be attained for the entire year.
For further information, refer to the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

NOTE 2 - CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

In connection with the secured line of credit discussed in NOTE 3 which follows,
the Company has deposited $470,000 as secured collateral with the lender.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT

During June 1996 the Company closed on a $2.0 million secured equipment
financing line which will be used to support the Company's continuing
international expansion efforts. The financing line is secured by compensating
cash balances, has a four-year term which calls for quarterly repayments of
principal, and carries an interest rate one percentage point above the rate
being earned by the Company on the compensating cash balances. At June 30, 1996,
the Company had borrowed approximately $470,000 against this line.

NOTE 4 - NET INCOME PER SHARE

Primary earnings per share are computed by dividing net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents consist of stock
options, warrants, and common shares purchasable under the Employee Stock
Purchase Plan and are computed using the treasury stock method. The difference
between primary and fully diluted net income per common share is not significant
in all periods presented.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Consolidated revenues for the second quarter of 1996 totaled $5.1 million
representing a year over year increase of $1.9 million, or 61 percent. Revenues
derived from sources outside of North America increased from 1 percent of
revenues during the 1995 period to 10 percent of revenues in the 1996 period.
The revenue growth is largely attributable to an increase in INOVOJECT revenues
which grew from $2.7 million in the 1995 period to $4.6 million in the 1996
period. Product revenues for the 1996 quarter totaled $413,000 compared to
$394,000 for the same period in 1995.

Consistent with the improvement noted during the first quarter of 1996, cost of
product and INOVOJECT revenues decreased from 51 percent of total revenues
during the 1995 quarter to 44 percent of revenues in the 1996 period.

In aggregate operating expenses were unchanged year over year, holding steady at
approximately $2.3 million during the second quarter of both 1996 and 1995 as
management continues to successfully control operating expenses and leverage its
know-how, patent position and market presence.

Net interest expense decreased from $354,000 in the 1995 period to $315,000 in
the 1996 period largely due to diminishing interest expense payments on
INOVOJECT lease lines.

Based on a stronger top line, improved gross margins, and the containment of
operating expenses, the Company posted its second consecutive profitable
quarter. Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 totaled $193,000
compared to a loss of $1.1 million for the comparable 1995 period. Earnings per
share totaled $.03 for the 1996 quarter compared to a loss of $.18 per share for
the comparable 1995 period based on 7.3 million and 6.2 million weighted average
shares outstanding in the 1996 and 1995 periods, respectively.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

Consolidated revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $9.7
million up from $6.1 million a year earlier. This increase in total revenues is
principally attributable to stronger INOVOJECT revenues which showed a
year-over-year increase of 58 percent growing from $5.3 million to $8.9 million.

Cost of product and INOVOJECT revenues totaled $4.2 million, or 44 percent of
total revenues, for the first six months of 1996 compared to $3.1 million, or 51
percent of total revenues, for the same 1995 period.

Operating expenses for the first half of 1996 totaled $4.4 million, down 3.5
percent ($159,000) from a year earlier. As noted under the review of the
quarterly results, management is committed to leveraging its resources and
controlling operating expenses.


                                                         7

<PAGE>



Net interest expense increased from $528,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1995 to $687,000 for the same 1996 period. This increase in interest expense
results primarily from INOVOJECT lease financing obtained during 1995 and the
first half of 1996.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1996 totaled $251,000, $.03 per
share of Common Stock, compared to a net loss of $2.1 million , $.34 per share
of Common Stock, for the same period in 1995.

Management anticipates further revenue growth over 1995 levels throughout 1996,
from its existing INOVOJECT(Register mark) operations in the United States and 
Canada, new INOVOJECT(Register mark) system leases in other countries, product 
sales of VNF to vaccine manufacturers and sales of its BDA-Blen product to 
poultry producers. However, the precise timing of the anticipated regulatory 
approval of BDA-Blen for IN OVO use in the United States, the rate at which the 
marketplace will accept its INOVOJECT(Register mark) technology outside the 
United States and Canada, the timing of approvals of third-party vaccines for 
IN OVO use outside the United States and Canada, and possible decreases in U.S. 
hatchery bird production as a result of high grain prices will impact the pace 
of revenue growth and the attainment of, or increase in, profitability from the 
installation and operational throughputs of INOVOJECT(Register mark) systems. 
Management will continue to manage its costs of revenues in an effort to 
maintain or improve gross margins, and will continue to carefully balance 
operating and interest expenses against its goal of continuing and increasing 
profitability.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company's cash and short-term investment balances totaled
$7.3 million - unchanged from year-end 1995.

Operating activities generated almost $1.0 million during the first six months
of 1996 despite an $824,000 increase in accounts receivable, inventory, and
other current assets associated with expanding operations. During the same
period, net investing activities yielded an additional $101,000.

Net financing activities consumed $578,000 during the period largely as a result
of repayments on capital lease obligations. Additionally, during the period the
Company closed on a $2.0 million secured equipment financing line which will be
used to support the Company's continuing international expansion efforts. The
financing line is secured by compensating cash balances, has a four-year term
which calls for quarterly repayments of principal, and carries an interest rate
one percentage point above the rate being earned by the Company on the
compensating cash balances. At June 30, 1996, the Company had borrowed
approximately $470,000 against this line.

As of June 30, 1996 the Company had outstanding purchase commitments of
approximately $3.5 million related to the production of the Company's BDA-BLEN
product and materials and supplies for the construction and maintenance of
INOVOJECT(Register mark) systems.

Based on its current operations, management believes that its available cash and
short-term investments, together with cash flow from operations and existing
equipment financing lines, will be sufficient to meet its foreseeable cash
requirements. At the present time, the Company has no plans to seek an extension
or modification of its outstanding, publicly-traded warrants which have an
expiration date of November 7, 1996.

This report contains various forward-looking statements and information that are
based on management's beliefs as well as assumptions made by and information
currently available to management. These statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including
those risks discussed under "Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995" with
respect to anticipated revenue growth and the attainment of or increase in
profitability. In addition, the ability to obtain regulatory approval of
BDA-Blen for IN OVO use or any other product for IN OVO use is dependent upon a
number of factors, including the results of trials, the discretion of regulatory
officials, and potential changes in regulations. Finally, the adequacy of the
company's available cash and short term investments, together with cash flow
from operations and existing equipment financing lines to sustain current
operations, is subject to a number of variables, including the ability of the
company to maintain revenues and expenses at current or improved levels, which
is dependent upon continued customer demand for the INOVOJECT(Register mark) 
system, the ability to service and maintain the INOVOJECT(Register mark) 
systems within budgeted levels, and continued international placement of 
INOVOJECT(Register mark) systems.

                       RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION

                                  EMBREX, INC.

Pursuant to (Section symbol)55-10-06 of the General Statutes of North Carolina,
the undersigned corporation hereby submits the following Articles of Amendment
for the purpose of amending its Articles of Incorporation:

1.      The name of the corporation is:   EMBREX, INC.

2.      The text of the amendment adopted is as follows:

    Part A of Article FOURTH of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of the
    corporation is hereby amended by deleting the first two paragraphs of
    Article FOURTH and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

    The corporation shall have authority to issue thirty million (30,000,000)
    shares of common stock with a par value of one cent ($.01) per share, and
    fifteen million (15,000,000) shares of preferred stock, with no par value.

        The shares of preferred stock of the corporation may be issued from time
    to time in one or more classes or series, the shares of each class or series
    to have such designations, preferences, relative rights, powers, including
    voting powers, and par value, if any (or qualifications, limitations or
    restrictions thereof) as are stated in the resolution or resolutions
    providing for the issuance of such class or series adopted by the board of
    directors of the corporation. Authority is expressly granted to the board of
    directors, subject to the provisions hereof and to any limitations provided
    under the North Carolina Business Corporation Act, to authorize the issuance
    of one or more classes, or one or more series within a class, of preferred
    stock, and with respect to each such class or series to determine and fix by
    resolution or resolutions the designations, preferences, relative rights,
    powers, including voting powers, full or limited, or no voting power, and
    the par value, if any, of such shares, or the qualifications, limitations or
    restrictions of such shares. This paragraph is intended to afford to the
    Board of Directors the maximum authority permitted under Section 55-6-02 of
    the North Carolina General Statutes.

        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article FOURTH, each
    share of the corporation's Series A Participating Preferred Stock shall have
    par value of one cent ($.01) per share.
