             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS RESTATED


1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed financial statements for the three and nine-months ended December
31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited, but include all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring adjustments) that the management of Abaxis, Inc. believes to be
necessary for the fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
statements for the year ended March 31, 1996, included in the Company's annual
report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Through March 31, 1996, the Company was in the development stage and its
financial statements were presented in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 7 "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage
Enterprises." During the quarter ended June 30, 1996, the Company completed the
launch of its Piccolo System. Based on the commercial launch of this product
combined with sales of previously offered products, management believes that it
no longer meets the definition of a development stage enterprise.

2.     PER SHARE INFORMATION

Per share information for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996 and
1995 is based solely on weighted average shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Common equivalent shares have not been considered in the
computation since their inclusion would have an antidilutive effect. In the
computation of loss per share, loss attributable to common shareholders includes
the accretion of preferred stock and preferred stock dividends totaling
$1,106,000 and $1,406,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December
31, 1996, respectively (see Note 4).

3.     INVENTORY

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and
consisted of the following:

4.     PRIVATE EQUITY FINANCING

In September 1996, the Company completed a private equity financing in which it
issued 500,000 shares of its convertible Series A Preferred Stock for an
aggregate net purchase price of $4,780,000 to certain off-shore investors.
Holders of preferred stock were entitled to receive cumulative dividends of
$0.15 per share in stock or cash, at the discretion of the Board of Directors,
on each of the 90th, 180th and 270th day after the issuance date. The preferred
stock could be converted at any time after the 45th day after the issuance date
to common stock at certain discounts to the market price for common stock
varying from 20% to 29% ratably over a period of nine months. During the quarter
ended December 31, 1996, all 500,000 shares of the convertible Series A
Preferred Stock were converted into 1,975,600 shares of common stock. Prior to
conversion, the Company paid a cash dividend of approximately $26,000 to Series
A Preferred Stock holders. The







                                       6
<PAGE>   7

calculated imbedded yield representing the discount on the assumed potential
conversion of the preferred stock was allocated to common stock and was accreted
to preferred stock over the preferred stock holding period.

5.     RESTATEMENT

Subsequent to the issuance of the Company's financial statements for the year
ended March 31, 1997, the Company's management determined that the calculated
imbedded yield representing the discount on the assumed potential conversion of
the preferred stock issued by the Company should have been accreted to preferred
stock and included in the loss per share computation. The effect of the
restatement for the three and nine months ended December 31, 1996 was to
increase loss attributable to common shareholders by $1,080,000 and $1,380,000
respectively, and to increase loss per share by $0.11 and $0.14, respectively.
