     TECHNICAL CHEMICALS AND PRODUCTS,  INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (INFORMATION PERTAINING TO SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
IS UNAUDITED)

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements (the
"Financial Statements") of Technical Chemicals and Products, Inc. and
Subsidiaries (the "Company") are unaudited, and in the opinion of management,
include all normal and recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair
presentation. Accordingly, the Financial Statements should be read in
conjunction with more complete disclosures contained in the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995. The results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the entire year.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

  Certain amounts in the prior year's condensed consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period's
presentation.

SHARES OUTSTANDING

  The weighted average number of common shares outstanding reflects the
Company's 2 for 1 stock split on July 31, 1995.

INCOME TAXES

  The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for
Income Taxes". Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based
on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and
liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be
in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.

INVENTORIES

  Inventories, consisting of raw materials and finished goods, are valued at
the lower of cost (computed on the first-in, first-out method) or market.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

  Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using
the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The cost
of maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Significant
renewals and betterment's are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated
useful lives.

  This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, including the information
incorporated by reference herein, includes "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, and is subject to the
safe-harbor created by such sections. The Company's actual results may differ
significantly from the results discussed in such forward-looking statements.

ITEM 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

  The Company is principally engaged in the design, development, manufacture
and marketing of a wide range of medical diagnostic products for use in
physician offices, at home and at other point-of-care locations. The Company's
medical diagnostic products employ its patented and proprietary membrane-based
technology. The Company distributes its proprietary brand named products and has
private label arrangements with drug, discount and supermarket chains in North
America. The Company intends to expand direct distribution of its diagnostic
products with the launching of its HealthCheck (R) line of products. In addition
to its diagnostic products business, the Company, through its recently acquired
Pharmetrix Division, is involved in the research, development and
commercialization of transdermal and mucosal drug delivery systems and skin
permeation enhancers. The Company is also a manufacturer of high purity
specialty biochemicals. The Company currently owns 16 U.S. patents and 28
foreign patents, and has seven pending U.S. patent applications and 38 pending
foreign patent applications.

  In order to support anticipated growth and new product development, the
Company expects to incur significantly increased operating expenses and capital
expenditures in the future and, as such, the Company believes that its results
of operations in prior periods may not be indicative of results in future
periods. The Company expects to incur significant expenses in 1996 primarily as
a result of: (I) the increased research and development associated with its
non-invasive transdermal glucose monitoring system (the "TD Glucose System") and
various transdermal and mucosal drug delivery products and skin permeation
enhancers; (ii) the expansion of direct distribution of medical diagnostic
products; (iii) the introduction of the Company's cholesterol monitoring system
which can be used by physicians, laboratories and patients at home (the "One
Step CholestoCheck System"); and (iv) the hiring of additional personnel and
other costs associated with expansion of the Company's manufacturing facilities.
Additionally, the Company anticipates significant expenditures in 1996 as a
result of the purchase of production equipment.
  For a complete description of the Company's products and business, see Part
1, Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  The Pharmetrix Division was acquired in November 1995 and began producing
revenues in January 1996. Accordingly, the results of operations for the
three and nine months ended September 1995 do not reflect the operations of the
Pharmetrix Division and are not, in all respects, comparable with the results of
the corresponding periods in 1996.
  Due to the timing of the FDA approval process and the expenses incurred in
the manufacturing scale-up for the Company's products, the Company's results of
operations vary from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the Company believes that
results of operations for the nine month period present a clearer picture of the
financial condition of the Company than quarterly results.

<PAGE>

  Net sales for the nine months ended September 1996 (the "1996 Period")
increased 68% to $5,082,374 from $3,017,543 during the nine months ended
September 1995 (the "1995 Period"). Net sales for the third quarter of 1996 (the
"1996 Quarter") increased by 86% from the third quarter of 1995 (the "1995
Quarter"). The increase in net sales during the 1996 Period resulted principally
from increased sales of private label Family Planning products in the United
States, increased foreign sales of diagnostic products and fees received from
Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. for the development of a urinary incontinence
transdermal drug delivery product by the Company's Pharmetrix Division.

  Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased during the 1996 Quarter
and the 1996 Period to 48.9% and 48.8%, respectively, compared to 21.9% and
35.6% in the 1995 Quarter and the 1995 Period, due to changes in product mix,
bringing product manufacturing in-house and achieving various economies of
scale.
  Selling, general and administrative expenses increased substantially during
the 1996 Quarter and the 1996 Period due primarily to the acquisition of the
Pharmetrix Division, the hiring of additional laboratory, administrative and
manufacturing personnel to support the higher level of sales and facility
expansion.

  The greatest impact on the Company's results of operations was the
substantial increase in research and development expenses due primarily to the
Pharmetrix acquisition. Those expenses increased from approximately $38,000 in
the 1995 Quarter to approximately $411,000 in the 1996 Quarter and from
approximately $87,000 in the 1995 Period to approximately $1,388,000 during the
1996 Period. The Company's investment in research and development has
contributed to the development of several new products as well as the TD Glucose
System.

  Interest expense in the 1996 Period, compared to the 1995 Period, increased
as a result of the issuance of promissory notes in the aggregate principal
amount of $5,000,000 in connection with the acquisition of the Company's
Pharmetrix Division. The promissory notes were repaid in their entirety during
the second quarter of 1996.

  The Company incurred a net loss of approximately $587,000 during the 1996
Quarter compared to a net loss of approximately $125,000 during the 1995
Quarter, and incurred a net loss of approximately $1,786,000 during the nine
months ended September 1996 compared to a net loss of approximately $63,000 
during the nine months ended September 1995, as a result of costs relating 
to the integration of the Pharmetrix Division, expenses attributable to the 
expansion of facilities, research and development expenses, non-recurring 
legal and accounting fees, and interest expense.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

  The Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments available for sale
of $14,342,411 on September 30, 1996, an increase of $12,564,993 from
December 31, 1995. This increase was due to the receipt of approximately
$21,927,000 in net proceeds as a result of the public offering of 1,585,000
shares of Common Stock of the Company in April 1996. The repayment during the
second quarter of 1996 of promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000 issued in connection with the acquisition of the Company's Pharmetrix
Division partially offset the increase in cash, cash equivalents and investments
available for sale.
  The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds from the public
offering to purchase production equipment, develop and manufacture the TD
Glucose System, engage in research and development relating to transdermal drug
delivery, develop new diagnostic products, conduct clinical trials and facility
expansion.

<PAGE>

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  The Company believes that its existing cash balances, plus the net proceeds
from the public offering, will be sufficient to fund the Company's cash
requirements for at least the next twenty-four months. This estimate is based on
certain assumptions, including assumptions concerning reasonable growth and
revenues, and there can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be
accurate or that unbudgeted costs will not be incurred. The Company's future
working capital and capital expenditure requirements may vary materially from
those now planned depending on numerous factors, including additional
manufacturing scale-up for the Company's current and future products, possible
future acquisitions, the focus and direction of the Company's research and
development programs, competitive and technological advances, future
relationships with corporate marketing partners, the FDA regulatory process and
the Company's marketing and distribution strategy. If the Company's growth
exceeds its plans, additional working capital may be needed.
