NOTE C - INCOME TAXES

     No provision for income taxes has been accrued during the periods presented
due to the availability of net operating loss carryforwards.

NOTE D - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


     In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.  SFAS 133 requires
companies to recognize all derivatives contracts as either assets or liabilities
in the balance  sheet and to measure them at fair value.  If certain  conditions
are met a derivative may be specifically designated as a hedge, the objective of
which  is to  match  the  timing  of  gain or loss  recognition  on the  hedging
derivative  with the  recognition  of (I) the  changes  in the fair value of the
hedged asset or  liability  that are  attributed  to the hedged risk or (ii) the
earnings  effect of the hedged  forecasted  transaction.  For a  derivative  not
designated as a hedging instrument,  the gain or loss is recognized in income in
the period of change.  SFAS 133,  as amended by SFAS 137, is  effective  for all
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.

     Historically, the Company has not entered into derivatives contracts either
to hedge existing risks or for speculative  purposes.  Accordingly,  the Company
does not expect adoption of the new standard to affect financial statements.

NOTE E - RECLASSIFICATIONS

     Certain  reclassifications have been made to 1999 amounts to conform to the
2000 presentation.

     Certain  statements  contained in this report that are not historical facts
constitute  forward-looking  statements,  within  the  meaning  of  the  Private
Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the
safe  harbors  created  by that Act.  Reliance  should  not be placed on forward
looking statements  because they involve unknown risks,  uncertainties and other
factors which may cause actual  results,  performance or  achievements to differ
materially from those expressed or implied. Any forward-looking statement speaks
only as of the date made.  The Company  undertakes  no  obligation to update any
forward-looking  statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date on

     Statements  concerning the  establishments  of reserves and adjustments for
dated and  obsolete  products,  write-offs  of  goodwill,  relocation  expenses,
expected financial performance,  on-going busines strategies and possible future
action  which the  Company  intends  to pursue to achieve  strategic  objectives
constitute  forward-looking   information.  The  sufficiency  of  such  charges,
implementation  of strategies and the  achievement of financial  performance are
each subject to numerous  conditions,  uncertainties  and risk factors.  Factors
which  could  cause  actual   performance  to  differ   materially   from  these
forward-looking  statements,   include,  without  limitation,  new  management's
analysis of the Company's assets, liabilities and operation, the failure to sell
date-sensitive  inventory prior to its  expiration,  the inability of particular
products  to  support  goodwill  allocated  to them,  competition,  new  product
development  by competitors  which could render  particular  products  obsolete,
material  failures in the  Company's  information  systems to adjust to the Year
2000 problem, the inability to develop or acquire and successfully introduce new
products or  improvements  of existing  products  and the ability to  assimilate
successfully product acquisitions.

Overview

     Hemagen Diagnostics,  Inc. (the "Company") is a biotechnology company which
develops,  manufactures, and markets medical diagnostic test kits used to aid in
the  diagnosis of certain  autoimmune  and  infectious  diseases.  In the United
States,  the Company sells its products  directly to physicians,  veterinarians,
clinical  laboratories  and blood  banks and on a  private-label  basis  through
multinational  distributors of medical  supplies.  Internationally,  the Company
sells its products primarily through distributors. The Company also manufactures
and sells an FDA-cleared  clinical  chemistry  analyzer ("The  Analyst") used to
measure important  constituents in human and animal blood. The Company sells The
Analyst both directly and through  distributors  servicing both the  physicians'
office  laboratory and veterinary  markets.  The Company was incorporated in the
Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  in 1985  and  reincorporated  in the  state  of
Delaware in 1992.

Results of Operations

The Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2000
Compared to the Three Month Period Ended  March 31, 1999

     Revenues  for the three month  period  ending  March 31, 2000  decreased to
approximately $2,604,000 from approximately $3,578,000 (27%) for the same period
ending March  31,1999.  This decrease is primarily  due to Analyst  product line
sales that were  $495,000  lower than the prior year.  In the period ended March
31,  1999,  the  Company  was  shipping  initial  stock  to our  North  American
distributor.  The sale of the Company's  Cellular Products,  Inc.  subsidiary in
July 1999  resulted in reduced  sales of  $240,000.  In  addition,  sales of the
Company's  Virgo product line were $175,000  lower than the prior year and blood
bank product sales were  $125,000  lower than the prior year.  Offsetting  these
decreases was an increase in sales at the Company's Raichem division.

     Cost  of  product  sales   increased  to   approximately   $2,429,000  from
approximately  $2,327,000 (4%). This increase in cost of product sales is mainly
attributed to inefficiencies resulting from the move of the Analyst product line
to the Company's  Maryland  facility.  Also, as a result of reduced sales volume
the Company has been  producing  less of its  diagnostic  test kits resulting in
higher unit costs of product.

     Research and development expenses decreased to approximately  $128,000 from
approximately  $379,000 (66%), due to workforce  reductions and reduced facility
costs allocated to research and development. The Company is currently working to
complete several research and development programs.


                                       8

     The  Company  recently  received  clearance  from  the  FDA to  market  the
Virgo(R)B2  Glycoprotein I lgA Antibody Kit, the  Virgo(R)B2  Glycoprotein I lgG
Antibody Kit and the  VIRGO(R)B2  Glycoprotein  I lgM Antibody Kit.  These ELISA
kits aid in the  diagnosis of Primary and Secondary  Antiphospholipid  Syndrome.
This Syndrome is characterized by unusual  thrombotic  events  (coagulation) and
poses a  significant  threat to several  organ  systems.  This assay  alerts the
physician  to the  autoimmune  disease  and allows  him/her to treat the patient
accordingly.  In addition to these products, Hemagen is developing several other
complementary assays to our already significant  portfolio of autoimmune disease
products.  To date,  Hemagen has more than 15 FDA cleared products to aid in the
differential diagnosis of autoimmune disease.

     On  February  1, 2000,  the  Company  announced  that it signed a long-term
agreement  to  provide  reagents  and  diagnostic  kits  to  Roche   Diagnostics
Corporation.   The  extent  of  the  agreement   encompasses   thirty   products
manufactured  by the Company's  Raichem  division  which is expected to generate
revenues  in excess of seven  million  dollars  over the next three  years.  The
Company will submit several  products for FDA clearance in conjunction with this
agreement in order to market those specific  products for use on the Roche Cobas
Mira Clinical Chemistry Analyzer.

     Selling,   general  and  administrative   ("SG&A")  expenses  decreased  to
approximately  $896,000  from  approximately  $1,075,000  (17%),  due to reduced
spending at all of the Company's divisions. In the first quarter of fiscal 2000,
the  Company  reduced  its  workforce  by 20%  providing  savings  in the second
quarter.

     Other  expenses  decreased to  approximately  $104,000  from  approximately
$151,000  (31%) due to foreign  exchange  losses  experienced  in 1999 offset by
increased interest expense.  This increase in interest expense was the result of
the increased  borrowings that were used to finance operations and a higher rate
of interest in 2000. (See "Liquidity and Capital Resources").



                                       9
<PAGE>


     The net loss for the period was approximately $953,000 as compared to a net
loss of  approximately  $354,000 in the prior  period.  This  increased  loss is
primarily  due to  reduced  sales,  and  increased  costs  associated  with  the
relocation of Analyst production as described above.

The Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2000
Compared to the Six Month Period Ended March 31, 1999

     Revenues  for the six month  period  ending  March 31,  2000  decreased  to
approximately $5,264,000 from approximately $8,258,000 (36%) for the same period
ending March 31, 1999.  This  reduction in sales is  attributed to $1,087,000 of
lower sales of the Analyst  product line in the six month period ended March 31,
2000. In the six month period ended March 31, 1999, the Company  shipped initial
stock to our North  American  distributor.  Sales of the  Company's  blood  bank
products were $976,000 lower in the six months ended March 31, 2000 as shipments
to the product lines primary distributor,  Olympus,  terminated in January 1999.
The effect of the sale of the Company's Cellular Products, Inc. division in July
1999 resulted in reduced sales of $427,000.  Additionally,  reduced sales of the
Company's  Virgo  product  line of $274,000 and reduced  contract  manufacturing
sales to Carter  Wallace of  $237,000  were also  experienced  in the six months
ended March 31, 2000.

     Cost of product sales decreased to $4,545,000  from $5,101,000  (11%), as a
result of reduced sales offset by increased  manufacturing  costs experienced in
the six months ended March 31, 2000. As a percentage  of sales,  cost of product
sales increased from 62% to 86% percent of sales. This increase is attributed to
the relocation of the Analyst business to the Company's own facilities. The cost
of product sales was impacted by relocation  expenses,  duplicate  manufacturing
costs  associated  with the  relocation,  and the loss of the high margin  blood
banking business.

     Research and development expenses decreased to $307,000 from $647,000 (53%)
as a result of work force  reductions and lower facility costs in this area. For
a detail of current  research and  development  projects see the  comparison  of
three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 above.

     Selling,   general  and  administrative   ("SG&A")  expenses  decreased  to
approximately  $1,872,000 from approximately  $2,252,000 (17%), due to workforce
reductions,   reduced   marketing   expenditures,   and  cost  savings  programs
implemented the six months ended March 31, 2000.

     Other  expenses  decreased to  approximately  $222,000  from  approximately
$251,000  during the same period last year (12%).  This  decrease  resulted from
translation  losses  associated  with the devaluation of the Brazilian Real that
were experienced in 1999 but not in 2000. Offsetting these savings was increased
interest expense of $75,000.  The increased  interest expense is attributable to
higher borrowings and an increase in the interest rate paid by the Company.

     Net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2000 was $1,682,000 as compared
to income of $7,000 in the same period  last year.  This loss is  attributed  to
lower sales offset by reduced SG&A expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company finances its operating  requirements,  capital expenditures and
growth primarily from cash flow from  operations,  a revolving line of credit at
BankBoston, an unsecured seller note and customer deposits.

     As of March 31, 2000 the outstanding  loan under the revolving  credit line
from BankBoston was $3,844,000..  The Company was not in compliance with certain
of the loans  covenants  as of March 31, 2000.  On April 20,  2000,  the Company
closed  on  an  offering  of  $4,250,000  in  units   consisting  of  8%  Senior
Subordinated   Secured   Convertible  Notes,  Common  Stock  and  Warrants  (see
"Subsequent  Events" below).  The proceeds of this offering were used to pay off
the revolving  line of credit with  BankBoston in full on April 20, 2000 and pay
trade creditors.

     At March  31,  2000,  the  Company  had a  working  capital  deficiency  of
approximately $(42,000) compared to working capital of approximately $872,000 at
September 30, 1999.  This decrease was  principally  due to an increase in notes
payable of approximately $674,000, as a result of the cash used by operations.

     Capital  expenditures have been financed  principally through the revolving
line of credit provided from BankBoston. Capital expenditures for the six months
ended March 31, 2000 were  approximately  $275,000 and related to the relocation
of the Analyst business to the Company's Columbia, MD facility.

     After   consideration  of  the  expense  reduction  measures   implemented,
management believes its cash together with anticipated cash flow from operations
and proceeds the offering  described below, are sufficient to meet the Company's
cash needs for its ongoing business during fiscal 2000.

Subsequent Events

     On April 20, 2000 and May 11,  2000,  the  Company  raised  $4,226,500  and
$1,301,000,  respectively,  in an  offering  of units  consisting  of 8%  Senior
Subordinated  Secured  Convertible Notes, Common Stock and Warrants.closed on an
offering of $4,250,000 and $1,301,000,  respectively,  in units consisting of 8%
Senior  Subordinate  Secured  Convertible  Notes,  Common  Stock  and  Warrants.
Proceeds of this offering were used to pay off the revolving line of credit with
BankBoston and to provide working capital. See "Part II Other Information" for a
further description of this transaction.

     On April 19, 2000, the Company  announced its decision to  consolidate  its
operations and close its Waltham, Massachusetts facility by December 31, 2000. A
plan is currently being developed to relocate products currently produced in the
Massachusetts facility to the Company's facilities in Maryland and Brazil. Other
products  that are not  profitable  will be  discontinued.  The  Company has nto
quantified the costs and anticipated  savings associated with this consolidation
at this time.

Year 2000 Systems

     Prior to  December  31,  1999,  the Company  had  implemented  its plans to
prepare its internal  information  systems,  including  its internal  accounting
systems, to handle date information and to function  appropriately after January
1, 2000.  It has  encountered  no Year 2000 problems to date and is not aware of
any encountered by its suppliers and customers.

     Impact of Inflation

     Domestic  inflation  during  the  last  two  fiscal  years  has  not  had a
significant  effect  on  the  Company's  business  activities.  Translation  and
transaction  gains and losses  between the Company and its  subsidiary in Brazil
are expensed each period.
