              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


     1.  The Company

         Infu-Tech, Inc. (the "Company") provides specialty pharmaceuticals,
         infusion therapy (i.e., administration of nutrients, antibiotics and
         other medications either intravenously or through feeding tubes), and
         other medical products to patients in their homes, nursing homes and
         subacute care facilities. In March 2000, the Company formed a
         subsidiary, Smartmeds.com, Inc. ("Smartmeds").

         In March 2000, the Company launched Smartmeds.com through which it
         intends to provide health management applications through wireless
         devices such as cellular phones, PDA's and pagers. These applications
         may include medication reminders, targeted news, and prescription
         refills for people with chronic diseases. Smartmeds will pursue
         contracts with managed care organizations, clinical research
         organizations and other healthcare providers. Smartmeds.com, Inc. may
         generate revenue from advertising, subscriber fees, wireless fees and
         increased Infu-Tech sales of specialty pharmaceuticals. Due to the
         evolving wireless market, the type of transactions in which
         Smartmeds.com, Inc. engages and the way they are structured is likely
         to vary significantly. The Company launched its Internet health
         commerce site via its website Smartmeds.com.

         The Company's traditional services are organized into two units. The
         specialty pharmaceutical unit provides specialty pharmaceutical and
         related services for patients with certain chronic diseases. It
         provides services that address the needs of patients with the following
         diseases: Gaucher Disease, a hereditary liver enzyme deficiency;
         hemophilia, a hereditary bleeding disorder; cardiac diseases; sickle
         cell disorders; respiratory diseases in pediatric patients; and growth
         hormone disorders. The Company also provides a broad range of home,
         ambulatory and subacute infusion therapy services, including
         intravenous total parenteral nutrition therapy, antibiotic therapy,
         enteral nutrition therapy, chemotherapy, chronic pain management
         therapy, hydration therapy, injectable products and a variety of other
         therapies.

         The Company is 49% owned by Kuala Healthcare, Inc. ("KUAL") formerly
         Continental Health Affiliates, Inc. ("CHA"). The remaining 51% of the
         Company's equity is publicly traded.

         The Company is subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result
         of changes that could occur in the healthcare industry, including
         pricing pressure from managed care, Medicare and Medicaid.

           Liquidity

         The Company incurred a ($1,056,000) loss in the three months ended
         September 30, 2000 after having incurred a ($3,809,000) loss in the
         year ended June 30, 2000, and is experiencing a slowdown in payments
         from several managed care organizations which have affected its ability
         to pay its suppliers on a timely basis. The Company has extended its
         payment terms with some of its suppliers while also executing a plan to
         pursue collection of its accounts receivable, consolidate its
         operations, and reduce operating costs. A number of factors could
         contribute to the Company suspending its operations including:

              o Company is put in default by its lender,
              o Company is not successful in obtaining additional capital,
              o Company does not receive cash payments from Kuala,
              o Company continues to incur significant losses.

         As of September 30, 2000 the Company's current liabilities exceeded its
         current assets by $1,649,000. The Company has a $1.5 million line of
         credit with Heller Healthcare ("Heller") secured by certain accounts
         receivable. As of September 30, 2000, the outstanding loan was $1.0
         million, the maximum available based on billing and collection
         activity. The Company's stockholder equity was $1.0 million versus the
         $4.0 million requirement from Heller. In addition, the Company had
         accounts payable greater than 120 days old. The Company has obtained a
         waiver from Heller to alleviate these events of default. The waiver
         requires that stockholders' equity be no less than $900,000 through
         June 30, 2001. On November 3, 2000 the Company renewed the agreement
         with Heller which expires on December 31, 2001. The Company is
         exploring additional borrowing alternatives. As indicated in the
         Company's independent auditors' report on the June 30, 2000 financial
         statements, these factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's
         ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial
         statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
         outcome of this uncertainty. The continuation of the Company as a going
         concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain additional financing
         and generate revenues with gross margins sufficient to produce
         operating profit.

         KUAL and certain of its subsidiaries have agreed to pay back the June
         30, 1999 $3.4 million total receivable balance, plus interest at 7% in
         twenty quarterly installments beginning in January, 2000. KUAL
         guarantees the amount due to the Company by the KUAL subsidiaries. KUAL
         has given the Company a mortgage on land owned by a wholly owned
         subsidiary of KUAL and a security interest in 1,500,000 shares of the
         Company's common stock that it owns to secure that obligation. Under
         certain circumstances KUAL may substitute the collateral as defined in
         the agreement or may reduce the Infu-Tech shares pledged as security.
         However, in no event may the remaining Infu-Tech shares be valued at
         less than 150% of the outstanding receivable balance at the date of the
         reduction. Payments may be in cash or with Infu-Tech's common stock
         owned by KUAL. If cash payments are not made when due, KUAL may sell
         company stock to satisfy the debt. The July 2000, payment of $0.2
         million was made in October 2000. The October payment has not been made
         but is expected to be paid shortly. KUAL and its subsidiaries are
         experiencing significant financial difficulties. In September 2000,
         three of KUAL's five nursing home subsidiaries commenced proceedings
         under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. However, the Chapter 11
         proceedings do not affect KUAL's obligations under the agreement. The
         Company no longer sells products to KUAL's nursing homes (but does sell
         products and services to residents in them).

         Management has taken action and is formulating plans to strengthen the
         Company's working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet
         its operating needs through June 30, 2001 and beyond. The Company is
         attempting to increase revenue by providing wireless services through
         the use of its recently launched web-site. Also, negotiations are in
         process with its primary vendor Genzyme to convert the amounts owed
         them ($4,780,000) to a long term payment schedule and increase the
         margins resulting from future Genzyme sales. Further, the Company is
         negotiating for additional financing with several lenders. No assurance
         can be made that management will be successful in achieving its plan.

     2. Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the
         instructions to Form 10-Q 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. In the opinion of management, all adjustments,
         consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair
         presentation have been included. Operating results for the three month
         period ended September 30, 2000, are not necessarily indicative of the
         results that may be expected for the full year ending June 30, 2001.

         These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with
         the Company"s audited financial statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company"s Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended June 30,
         2000.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months ended September 30, 2000 Compared with Three Months Ended
September 30, 1999

Total revenues decreased by $1,790,000, or 37%, from $4,826,000 to $3,036,000.
The decrease was due to discontinuing relationships with managed care
organizations that did not meet profitability standards.

The Company is currently in the process of negotiating revised terms for its
contract with Genzyme, which will allow the Company to distribute Cerezyme at
more acceptable profit levels. If it cannot accomplish this, the Company may
have to discontinue selling Ceredase and Cerezyme.

Cost of medical and nutritional products sold to patients and other customers
decreased $1,376,000 or 41%, from $3,376,000 in 1999 to $2,000,000 in 2000. As a
percentage of total revenues, medical and nutritional product costs decreased
from 70% in 1999 to 66% in 2000. The decrease in the medical and nutritional
product costs as a percentage of sales is attributable to the change in the
product mix sold.

Total personnel costs decreased by $455,000 or 31.8% from $1,430,000 in 1999 to
$975,000 in 2000 due to reorganization of the corporate office and the Company's
largest clinical office.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $94,000, or 13% from
$729,000 in 1999 to $823,000 in 2000 due to a $275,000 compensation expense for
non-employee stock options, partially offset by a reduction in clinical and
pharmacy costs as a result of lower revenues. This decrease was partially offset
by development costs associated with the e commerce business.

The provision for uncollectible accounts decreased to $100,000 in 2000 from
$127,000 in 1999 due to a reduction in revenue.

Management fees to Kuala Healthcare, Inc., ("KUAL") of $49,000 in 2000 and
$70,000 in 1999 were approximately 1.6% of revenues in both years.

Depreciation expense increased from $30,000 in 1999 to $63,000 in 2000 due to
property and equipment additions. Amortization expense of $4,000 was recognized
in both periods.

Interest expense of $159,000 in 2000 and $126,000 in 1999 consisted of interest
related to the Company's outstanding line of credit, interest on overdue
accounts payable, and interest associated with late filings of tax returns.

Other income of ($81,000) in 2000 and ($60,000) in 1999 consisted of interest
income from the outstanding KUAL receivable balance.

There are Federal and State income tax returns for previous years which were not
filed when due. The Company has completed a substantial portion of those
outstanding Federal and State income tax returns for previous years. It is
contemplated that all prior year returns will be completed and filed shortly.
The Company believes no additional Federal taxes are due. The Company presently
has outstanding penalties and interest associated with late filings which are
currently in the process of being appealed. Interest associated by these late
filings has been accrued by the Company.

The net (loss) in 2000 was ($1,056,000) or ($0.31) per basic share compared to
net loss in 1999 of ($1,005,000) or ($0.31) per basic share which is the effect
of the items described above. The Company


                                       8

continues to consolidate its operations and reduce its clinical costs as the
Company increases its specialty pharmaceutical focus.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had total assets of $11.0 million, a
working capital deficit of ($1.6) million and a net worth of $1.0 million. The
Company has a $1.5 million line of credit with Heller Healthcare ("Heller")
secured by certain accounts receivable. As of September 30, 2000, the
outstanding loan was $1.0 million, the maximum available based on billing and
collection activity. The Company's stockholder equity was $1.0 million versus
the $4.0 million requirement from Heller. In addition, the Company had accounts
payable greater than 120 days old. The Company has obtained a waiver from Heller
to alleviate these events of default. The waiver requires that stockholders'
equity be no less than $900,000 through June 30, 2001. On November 3, 2000 the
Company renewed the agreement with Heller which expires on December 31, 2001.
The Company is exploring additional borrowing alternatives. The continuation of
the Company as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain
additional financing and generate revenues with gross margins sufficient to
produce an operating profit. Additionally, the Company's independent auditors
have indicated there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern in their report on the June 30, 2000 financial
statements.

Management has taken action and is formulating plans to strengthen the Company's
working capital position and generate sufficient cash to meet its operating
needs through June 30, 2001 and beyond. The Company is attempting to increase
revenue by providing wireless services through the use of its recently launched
web-site. Also, negotiations are in process with it's primary vendor Genzyme to
convert the amounts owed them at September 30, 2000 ($4,780,000) to a long term
payment schedule and increase the margins resulting from future Genzyme sales.
Further, the Company is negotiating for additional financing with several
lenders. No assurance can be made that the management will be successful in
achieving its plan.

At September 30, 2000, the Company's net accounts receivable were $6.7 million
compared to $6.4 million at June 30, 2000. Infu-Tech's outstanding gross
accounts receivables have increased from 178 days' sales outstanding at June 30,
2000 to 206 days' sales at September 30, 2000. The increase in days' sales
outstanding is a result of a continued slow down in payments from managed care
organizations.

At June 30, 1999 the Company was owed $2.0 million by five subsidiaries of KUAL,
the Company's 49% stockholder which owns or operates nursing homes. No business
was conducted by the Company in 2000 with any of the five facilities owned or
managed by KUAL. In addition, KUAL owed $1.4 million to the Company for KUAL's
share of common expenses paid on behalf of KUAL by the Company.

KUAL and certain of its subsidiaries have agreed to pay back the June 30, 1999
$3.4 million total receivable balance, plus interest at 7% in twenty quarterly
installments beginning in January, 2000. KUAL guarantees the amount due to the
Company by the KUAL subsidiaries. KUAL has given the Company a mortgage on land
owned by a wholly owned subsidiary of KUAL and a security interest in 1,500,000
shares of the Company's common stock that it owns to secure that obligation.
Under certain circumstances KUAL may substitute the collateral as defined in the
agreement or may reduce the Infu-Tech shares pledged as security. However, in no
event may the remaining Infu-Tech shares be valued at less than 150% of the
outstanding receivable balance at the date of the reduction. Payments may be in
cash or with Infu-Tech's common stock owned by KUAL. If cash payments are not
made when due, KUAL may sell company stock to satisfy the debt. The July 2000,
payment of $0.2 million was made in October 2000. The October payment has not
been made but is expected to be paid shortly. KUAL and its subsidiaries are
experiencing significant financial difficulties. In September 2000, three of
KUAL's five nursing home subsidiaries commenced proceedings under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code. However, the Chapter 11 proceedings do not affect KUAL's
obligations under the agreement. The Company no longer sells products to KUAL's
nursing homes (but does sell products and services to residents in them).

The Company incurred a ($1.1) million loss for the quarter ended September 30,
2000 and is experiencing a slowdown in payments from several managed care
organizations which have affected its ability to pay its suppliers on a timely
basis. The Company had a net working capital deficit of ($1.6) million at
September 30, 2000. The Company has extended its payment terms with some of its
suppliers and is on COD terms with some suppliers. It is executing a plan to
pursue collection of its accounts receivable, consolidate its operations, and
reduce operating costs.
