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 three-month and six-month periods ended June
30, 1998 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, 1997.


NOTE 2 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

In June 1997, the FASB issued Statement No. 130, Reporting  Comprehensive Income
(SFAS 130).  This Statement  establishes  standards for reporting and display of
comprehensive  income and its  components in the financial  statements.  Initial
application  of this  Statement is required for interim  periods of fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997; however, interim period disclosure is limited
to reporting a total for comprehensive  income. In accordance with SFAS 130, the
Company has determined total  comprehensive  income,  net of tax, to be $600,000
and $438,000  for the three  months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively,
and  $1,390,000  and  $596,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Embrex's total comprehensive income represents net income plus the
after-tax  effect of foreign  currency  translation  adjustments for the periods
presented.

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

The following  discussion and analysis  should be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's  financial  statements and related notes  appearing  elsewhere in this
report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

Consolidated  revenues  for the second  quarter of 1998  totaled  $7.0  million,
representing an 18% increase of $1 million over the same period in 1997.  During
this time, the Company  achieved a 17% increase of  approximately  $1 million in
INOVOJECT(R)  system  revenue  to $6.6  million  from $5.6  million  during  the
comparable  period in 1997.  Substantially all of the 1998 and 1997 INOVOJECT(R)
system revenues were derived from INOVOJECT(R)  system lease fees, in the United
States and Canada, and select  international  markets,  with the growth in lease
revenues  principally  due to a 9%  year-over-year  increase  in the  number  of
INOVOJECT(R)  systems  operating  under  lease  agreements,  and higher  machine
throughput.  Given its approximate  80% market  penetration in the United States
and  Canada,  the  Company  anticipates  diminished  growth  in  the  number  of
INOVOJECT(R) system installations in that market.

Reflecting the on-going delay associated with obtaining  regulatory approval for
the sale of  Bursamune(TM)  in the United  Kingdom,  revenue from product  sales
declined 9% to $266,000 from the $293,000 recorded a year earlier.  Overall, the
Company's  gross profit margin  during the second  quarter  remained  relatively
unchanged at 50.1%, compared to 50.8% in the 1997 period.

Operating  expenses increased to $2.6 million for the second quarter of 1998, up
$215,000 from the  comparable  1997 amount.  This change  reflects  increases of
$302,000  primarily  attributable to general corporate expense and international
expansion, and $65,000 associated with product research and development,  offset
by savings of $152,000 related to timing  differences from the 1997 period,  and
operating efficiencies.

Net interest  expense  decreased 60% from $160,000 in the 1997 period to $64,000
in 1998. This net reduction  follows from diminishing  interest expense payments
on INOVOJECT(R)  system leases,  offset by comparatively lower interest earnings
on a smaller amount of invested cash.

The stronger bottom-line  performance  demonstrates the benefit of the Company's
focus  on  revenue  growth  and on  maintaining  INOVOJECT(R)  system  operating
efficiencies, the combination of which enabled the Company to post record second
quarter net income.  Net income of $605,000 for the quarter  ended June 30, 1998
increased to 145% of the  $417,000  profit  earned  during the  comparable  1997
period. Diluted earnings per share increased by 40%, to $.07 for the 1998 second
quarter versus $.05 per share in the comparable  1997 period.  Weighted  average
shares of common  stock  outstanding  were  relatively  unchanged at 8.3 million
shares for the 1998 quarter  versus 8.4 million at the end of the second quarter
of 1997.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

Consolidated  revenues  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998  totaled  $13.8
million, up 17% from $11.8 million a year earlier.  This increase is principally
attributable to stronger  INOVOJECT(R)  system revenues which account for 95% of
the $13.8 million total.  Consistent  with the 9% increase from June 30, 1997 in
the number of INOVOJECT(R) systems installed under lease agreements,  and higher
machine  throughput,   INOVOJECT(R)  system  revenues  showed  a  year-over-year
increase of 17%, growing $1.9 million to $13.2 million. Substantially all of the
1998 and 1997 INOVOJECT(R) system revenues were derived from INOVOJECT(R) system
lease fees.

Cost of product and  INOVOJECT(R)  system revenues  totaled $6.7 million (48% of
total  revenues)  for the first six months of 1998 compared to $5.7 million (48%
of total  revenues)  for the same 1997  period,  resulting in  first-half  gross
margins of 52% for the 1998 and the 1997 periods.

Operating  expenses  for the six months  ended June 30, 1998  increased  to $5.5
million,  up $494,000 from the comparable 1997 amount. The increase  principally
reflects  $738,000  attributable to general  corporate  expense  associated with
higher domestic sales, international expansion, and legal fees related to patent
infringement  lawsuits  filed by the Company and  related  matters;  and $32,000
associated with product research and development,  offset by savings of $276,000
related to timing differences from the 1997 period, and operating efficiencies.

Net  interest  expense  decreased by $160,000  from  $360,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 to $200,000 for the same 1998 period.  This 44%  improvement
represents  the  net  impact  of  a  $253,000   decrease  in  interest   expense
attributable to reductions in lease and debt obligations, offset by $93,000 less
interest earned on short-term investment balances.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $1,132,000  represents 167%
of the $679,000  reported for the same period ended June 30, 1997.  The increase
of $453,000 translates into diluted earnings during the first half of 1998 that,
at $.14 per weighted average share of common stock  outstanding,  equals 175% of
the $.08 per  weighted  average  share  reported  for the six months  ended June
30,1997.  Weighted  average  shares of common stock  outstanding  of 8.3 million
shares were unchanged at the end of both the second quarter of 1998 and 1997.

Given its  approximate  80% market  penetration in the United States and Canada,
the Company  anticipates  diminished growth in the number of INOVOJECT(R) system
installations  in that  market.  Nevertheless,  management  anticipates  further
revenue growth throughout the balance of 1998 relative to the levels achieved in
1997.  This growth is  expected to come  primarily  from  existing  INOVOJECT(R)
system operations in the United States and Canada,  and new INOVOJECT(R)  system
leases  in  other  countries,  and  secondarily  from  sales  of  the  Company's
Bursaplex(TM) product to poultry producers.

Bursaplex(TM),  a product which combines the Company's  VNF(R)  compound with an
Infectious  Bursal  Disease (IBD)  vaccine,  and which in 1997 was granted final
approval from the United States  Department of Agriculture  for both  post-hatch
and in ovo delivery in the United States,  has also received final approval from
equivalent regulatory authorities in South Korea, Peru, Equador, and Pakistan.

                                        8

<PAGE>



Bursamune(TM),  which also contains Embrex's VNF(R) compound,  is an IBD vaccine
produced by Cyanamid  Websters,  the  Australian  affiliate of Fort Dodge Animal
Health,  a division  of  American  Home  Products.  Fort  Dodge is the  official
registrant  of  Bursamune(TM)  in  Europe,  the  Middle  East,  and  Africa  for
regulatory  purposes.  Bursamune(TM)  is  under  regulatory  review  in  certain
countries in Europe and the Middle East. In June 1997, Fort Dodge indicated that
its application  United Kingdom  regulatory  approval of Bursamune(TM)  had been
provisionally  disapproved;  however,  the United Kingdom  regulatory  authority
requested that further data be supplied. Both companies are cooperating with the
regulatory  authority to supply the requested  information and it is anticipated
that the review process will be completed in 1998.

For  the  remainder  of the  year,  the  goals  of  management  are to  maintain
profitability,  to continue its efforts to achieve  worldwide  placements of the
INOVOJECT(R) system, and to continue development of proprietary in ovo vaccines.
Growth in INOVOJECT(R) system fees and revenue from the sale of vaccine products
during the rest of 1998 will be a function of the rate at which the  marketplace
outside the United States and Canada accepts INOVOJECT(R) system technology, the
timing of   approvals  of Bursamune  (TM) and Bursaplex (TM),  and  third-party
vaccines for in ovo use. In addition, normal fluctuations in the market price of
grain,  domestic  consumption  levels  and  export  opportunities  in all Embrex
markets  may  impact  the  timing  and  quantity  of  egg   injections  and  the
corresponding in ovo administration of vaccines. Moreover,  additional delays in
obtaining  U.K.   regulatory  approval  for  the  sale  of  Bursamune(TM)  would
negatively impact the Company's ability to generate revenue from both the use of
INOVOJECT(R)  systems,  and the sale of vaccine  products  in  certain  European
markets.

CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION, LIQUIDITY, AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1998, the Company's  cash,  cash  equivalents  and  restricted  cash
($275,000)  balances totaled $7.6 million,  down approximately $1.2 million from
the $8.8 million on hand at year-end 1997.

Operating  activities  generated  approximately  $2.4 million in cash during the
first half of 1998,  reflecting  increases  attributable  to $1.1 million in net
income and $2.5 million from depreciation and  amortization,  the total of which
was offset by a $998,000 increase in accounts receivable, inventories, and other
current  assets,  and a  $254,000  decrease  in  accounts  payable  and  accrued
expenses. During the same period, investing activities consumed $2.6 million for
the purchase of INOVOJECT(R)  systems to accommodate  domestic and international
growth,  and for leasehold  improvements  associated  with  construction  of the
Company's avian research facility.

Net financing  activities  consumed $1.2 million  during the period largely as a
result of repayments on capital lease obligations.

As of June  30,  1998  the  Company  had  outstanding  purchase  commitments  of
approximately $3.3 million related to production of the Company's  Bursaplex(TM)
and Bursamune(TM)  products, and materials and supplies for the construction and
maintenance of INOVOJECT(R) egg injection systems.

Based on its current operations, management believes that its available cash and
cash equivalents,  together with cash flow from operations will be sufficient to
fund its capital  investments and continued  international  expansion during the
balance of 1998.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES

The Company has  authorized  the formation of a team to assess Year 2000 issues;
however,  this  assessment is not complete and the costs of achieving  full Year
2000  readiness  has not yet been  determined.  Embrex has  determined  that its
general  ledger  and  primary  financial  accounting  software  is  a  DOS-based
application  that operates on a client server network and that this  application
uses only two digits to identify a year in the date field.  The Company  intends
to replace this application with a Windows(TM)-based system. Irrespective of the
Year 2000 issue, the Company needs to upgrade its accounting  system to meet the
demands of its business,  and is in the process of developing the implementation
plan for this upgrade. The Company believes that the additional costs associated
with the Year 2000 aspects of the upgrade will be immaterial.

For a  description  of certain other Year 2000 matters and related risk factors,
see Exhibit 99 to the  registrant's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
1997 filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission on March 30, 1998 under
the heading "RISK FACTORS -- Upgrade to Company's Internal Systems and Year 2000
Compliance."

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report contains  "forward-looking"  statements,  including  statements with
respect to future  products,  services,  markets and  financial  results.  These
statements  involve risks and  uncertainties  that could cause actual results to
differ  materially,  including without  limitation the ability of the Company to
penetrate  new  markets,  the  outcome of its  patent  litigation  if  appealed,
complete   commercial   development  of  potential  future  products  or  obtain
regulatory  approval of its products,  which approval is dependent upon a number
of factors,  such as results of trials, the discretion of regulatory  officials,
potential  changes  in  regulations,  and the  Company's  dependence  on certain
customers.  Additional  information on these risks and other factors which could
affect the Company's  financial  results are included in the Company's Form 10-K
filed with the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission  and other filings with the
SEC, including the Company's Forms 10-Q and 8-K.

          applicable.


PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

On July 30, 1998,  a jury in the United  States  District  Court for the Eastern
District of North  Carolina  (Raleigh  Division)  returned  verdicts in favor of
Embrex in its actions  against  Service  Engineering  Corporation  and Edward G.
Bounds for patent infringement and breach of contract. The verdicts fully upheld
the  validity of all claims of the "Sharma"  patent  (United  States  Patent No.
4,450,630  exclusively  licensed to Embrex by the United  States  Department  of
Agriculture)  and found that the  defendants  willfully  infringed  all asserted
claims of the patent.  In addition,  the verdicts  found that the defendants had
breached a 1995 infringement settlement agreement and that the breach was not in
good faith.  The verdicts  rendered by the jury,  which are subject to appeal by
the defendants,  awarded Embrex damages of $500,000 plus litigation expenses and
court costs.
