TECHNICAL CHEMICALS AND PRODUCTS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  (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"  or "TCPI") 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-K for the year ended  December 31, 1996.  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 1996 condensed  consolidated  financial  statements
have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.

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  betterments  are  capitalized or depreciated  over their estimated
useful lives.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Purchased  patents and  trademarks  are amortized  using the  straight-line
method  over a  composite  life of 15 years  based on the shorter of their legal
life or estimated  useful life of the individual  patents and trademarks,  which
range from 11 to 17 years.  Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method
over 15  years.  The  realizability  of  patents,  trademarks  and  goodwill  is
evaluated  periodically as events or circumstances indicate a possible inability
to recover their carrying  amount.  At this time,  the Company  believes that no
significant  impairment  of these  intangible  assets has  occurred  and that no
reduction of the estimated useful lives is warranted.

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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.  See Item 2 "Management's
Discussion And Analysis of Financial  Condition And Results Of  Operations"  for
further information relating to forward-looking statements.

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


STRATEGIC DIRECTION

     The Company is in the midst of completing a transition. TCPI was formerly a
developmental  company  that  manufactured  and sold a narrow  range of  medical
diagnostic  products  and  specialty  chemicals  on an OEM  basis.  TCPI  is now
approaching  its goal of being a  manufacturer  and  marketer of a wide range of
internally-developed medical diagnostic products. Distribution of these products
is through OEM relationships  with major U.S. and  international  pharmaceutical
companies,  and through a U.S. and foreign  independent broker network for sales
of  its  private-label   products  and  HealthCheckTM   brand  to  drug  stores,
supermarket  chains and retailers.  Year to date, TCPI, its Pharmetrix  Division
and Health-Mark Diagnostics subsidiary have engaged in the following activities:

- - TD Glucose and Other Products

     TCPI  continues to commit  significant  resources to the  completion of the
development  of  its  innovative,  first-generation,   non-invasive  transdermal
glucose  monitoring  system. In June 1997, the Company announced the involvement
of  SmithKline  Beecham in becoming  its  worldwide  marketing  partner for this
important product. The companies entered into an exclusive agreement that grants
SmithKline  Beecham  a six  month  period in which to  further  evaluate  the TD
Glucose  Monitoring  System  technology  and  negotiate a  definitive  licensing
agreement.  SmithKline  Beecham  will also use this  period to  conduct  its due
diligence and perform market studies.  Terms of the contract include an up-front
payment  to TCPI as well as the  mutual  exchange  of  technical  and  marketing
information related to this product.  In addition,  the Company expects to enter
clinical trials of its TD Glucose Monitoring System in the third quarter of this
year and make a corresponding 510(k) filing to the FDA later this year.

     The   visual-read   system   for  Total   cholesterol   has   entered   the
over-the-counter market in the U.S. as part of the HealthCheck product line. The
Company's HDL visual cholesterol test is expected to begin clinical trials later
this year. The Company's meter-read  cholesterol monitoring system for Total and
HDL  cholesterol  (intended  for the  professional  marketplace  and  capable of
delivering clinical laboratory accuracy) has been developed and is scheduled for
clinical trials late this year.

     The Company is in various  stages of  completing  the  development  of, and
completing  the FDA and  foreign  clearance  processes  for  products  including
infectious  disease  detection,  drugs of abuse screening,  cancer screening and
other medical diagnostic testing.

     In January  1997,  the Company  entered into a multi-phase  agreement  with
Taiho Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. to develop a rapid,  one-step whole blood antigen
diagnostic test to monitor the  effectiveness  of Taiho's new anti-cancer  drug.
The Company expects to receive milestone payments from Taiho over the next 12-18
months as each phase of  development is completed.  TCPI also retains  exclusive
manufacturing  rights to the  product.  Phase I of this  three-phase  project is
already underway.

                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


STRATEGIC DIRECTION (continued)

- - Marketing and Distribution

      - HealthCheck

     During the first  quarter of 1997,  the Company  launched  its  HealthCheck
brand of over-the-counter diagnostic products. The line consists of 14 accurate
and easy to use  at-home  products  for  cholesterol,  diabetes,  urinary  tract
infection,  pregnancy,  ovulation, skin cancer and deteriorating vision, as well
as a series of health journals  specifically  designed for women,  men, seniors,
children and pregnant women.

     In August 1997, the Company further  expanded the national  roll-out of its
HealthCheck  products by: a) establishing  programs with several major wholesale
drug  distributors,  including  McKesson Corp.,  AmeriSource,  Bindley  Western,
Neuman Distributors and KinRay; b) adding independent  pharmacies,  Genovese and
Longs  drug  stores and the  Kroger  supermarket  chain to its roster of outlets
carrying  the brand;  and c)  processing  re-orders  following  earlier  initial
purchases by major drug chains Walgreen Drug Stores and Eckerd Corp.

     In March 1997,  Eckerd  placed its initial order for 6,000 units of each of
the HealthCheck test kits for diabetes and cholesterol.  In May 1997,  Walgreens
placed its initial order for the HealthCheck  cholesterol,  diabetes and urinary
tract  infection  products  to provide for more than four units of each in every
Walgreens store in its chain. In addition,  the 100-store  discount retail chain
operated by Michigan-based  Meijer, Inc. placed an initial order for 58 dozen of
the HealthCheck urinary tract infection product.

- - Latin American Marketing Partner

     In March  1997,  TCPI  announced  an  exclusive  marketing  agreement  with
Boehringer  Mannheim to  distribute  more than $50 million of the  Company's new
diagnostic products for infectious  diseases,  drugs of abuse and cancer screens
throughout South and Central America,  Mexico and certain Caribbean nations over
the next 10 years.  These products are presently in the registration  process in
various  countries.  The acquisition of Boehringer  Mannheim's parent company by
LaRoche Holding AG of Basel,  Switzerland  should also provide the potential for
increased  expansion and  distribution  outlets of these  products in the coming
year.

- - U.S. Broker Network

     TCPI  established  an  independent  network  of  brokers  for  selling  the
Company's private label and HealthCheck brands throughout the U.S.

                  CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


STRATEGIC DIRECTION (continued)

- - Research and Development

     - Pharmetrix

     The  Company is  continuing  development  of several  products at its Menlo
Park,  California  based  Pharmetrix  Division  and is  actively  working on the
commercialization  of  several  products  by  completing  the  development,  and
planning for manufacturing,  marketing and distribution. In addition, Pharmetrix
has been asked to prepare  feasibility  studies on behalf of several  clients to
evaluate  the  applicability  of  its  drug  delivery  technology  with  various
compounds.

     In July 1997, the Company announced  continued progress in strengthening of
its  Pharmetrix  Division  with the addition of Frank  Kochinke,  Ph.D.  as Vice
President of Research. The Company continues with plans to commercialize various
transdermal  products currently in its development  portfolio.  Dr. Kochinke has
numerous accomplishments from his 20 years of industrial and academic experience
in transdermal  drug delivery and membrane  permeation  technology.  He has more
than 25  scientific  publications  to his  credit and holds  seven U.S.  patents
related  to  transdermal  drug  delivery  systems  and  manufacturing,  with two
additional patents applications pending.

- - Manufacturing Scale-up

     Over the past six months, the Company's  facilities located in Florida have
been expanded to  accommodate  full-scale  manufacturing  of medical  diagnostic
products. This expansion has included:

     - acquisition of major production equipment for manufacturing of the
       products
  
     - re-tooling and refurbishing of equipment to significantly increase its 
       capacity
   
     - purchase of custom high-speed packaging equipment
   
     - expansion of production and warehouse facilities to accommodate the 
       in-house manufacturing program
   
     - additions to the Florida research and development facilities and
       professional staff to increase product development capabilities -- 
       including the addition of Jeffrey Bolts, Ph.D. as Director of 
       Quality Assurance

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

BACKGROUND

     Technical   Chemicals  and  Products,   Inc.  is  a  designer,   developer,
manufacturer and marketer of a wide-range of medical diagnostic products for use
at home, in physician offices, and other locations. TCPI is also involved in the
research and  development of its TD Glucose  Monitoring  System -- an innovative
first generation non-invasive glucose testing system for diabetics. In addition,
through its Pharmetrix Division located in Menlo Park,  California,  the Company
is also  focused  on the  research  and  development  and  commercialization  of
transdermal and dermal drug delivery systems and skin permeation enhancers. TCPI
is also a manufacturer of high purity specialty biochemicals.

     TCPI's  roots date back more than 28 years during which time the Company or
its founder have  developed  over 330 FDA cleared  medical  diagnostic  and drug
products  (including  those  related to the  Company's  patented  membrane-based
technology)  and  manufactured  OEM  products  for leading  drug and  diagnostic
companies.  The Company holds 19 US and 27 foreign patents, and has four pending
patent applications in the US and 38 foreign patent applications pending.

     TCPI  manufactures  and  markets  more  than  47  patented   membrane-based
diagnostic  tests in the  United  States and  internationally,  26 of which have
received 510(k) clearance from the FDA. The Company's products include tests and
screens for  pregnancy,  ovulation  timing,  cholesterol  levels,  blood glucose
levels,  infectious  diseases,  drugs of abuse and certain  types of cancer.  In
addition, the Company has over 20 other diagnostic and transdermal drug delivery
products  in various  stages of  development  and  governmental  approval.  TCPI
markets its products in the OEM marketplace,  under its proprietary  HealthCheck
and PDQ brand names, and distributes  approximately 53 private label products to
leading drug, discount and supermarket chains.

     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 1997, 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 drug delivery products and skin permeation  enhancers;  (ii)
the expansion of direct  distribution of medical diagnostic  products related to
the national roll-out of the Company's HealthCheckTM brand and its private label
business;  (iii) the introduction of the Company's cholesterol monitoring system
which can be used by  physicians,  laboratories  and  patients at home (the "One
Step  CholestoChek  System");  and (iv) the hiring of  additional  personnel and
other costs associated with expansion of the Company's manufacturing facilities.
In addition,  the Company  anticipates  expenditures  in 1997 as a result of the
purchase of additional production equipment.

     For a complete description of the Company's products and business, see Part
I, Item 1 of the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Due to the timing of the FDA clearance 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.

     NET  REVENUE.  Net  revenue  for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1997,
increased by more than 18% to $1,719,180  from  $1,449,647 in the same quarter a
year ago. The increase was primarily  due to higher  product sales in the family
planning group.  Net revenue for the six month period was $2,998,851,  a decline
of  $215,842  from the same  period last year.  Product  sales of the  Company's
private label family planning group by its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Health-Mark
Diagnostics,  L.L.C.,  increased 32% over the similar six month period of a year
earlier.  In  addition,  the  successful  launch  of  the  HealthCheck  line  of
over-the-counter  products  contributed to the product sales increase in the six
month period over the same period last year.  These  increases  were offset by a
decline in contract fees and services from the Pharmetrix Division.

     During the second quarter,  the Company's  operations  continued to reflect
the  manufacturing  scale-up and build-up of inventory for the ongoing  national
roll-out of its HealthCheck  brand of  over-the-counter  diagnostic  products as
well as scale-up of  manufacturing  for the more than 20 new diagnostic  testing
products for  infectious  diseases,  drugs of abuse and certain  types of cancer
which are planned for distribution worldwide.

     GROSS  PROFIT.  Gross profit as a percent of net sales  decreased to 45% in
the  second  quarter  from  48.6%  in  the  same  period  last  year  due to the
manufacturing  scale-up of new  products  and a slight shift in product mix. The
Company  experienced a small  decrease in gross profit for the current six month
period to 47.5% as  compared  to the year ago period of 48.8% as a result of the
manufacturing scale-up of new products.

     SELLING,  GENERAL  &  ADMINISTRATIVE.  Selling,  general  &  administrative
expenses  increased  $657,807 for the quarter and  $1,143,599  for the six month
period as compared to the same periods last year due to: (a) the planned  hiring
of additional  operating  personnel for the scale-up of in-house  manufacturing,
(b) higher marketing expenses and sales commissions  related to the sales growth
in Health-Mark  Diagnostics,  L.L.C.  products,  and (c) an increase in expenses
related to facility expansion.

     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development  expenses increased 33%
in the second  quarter and 18% in the first six months  primarily as a result of
ongoing development of the Company's non-invasive glucose monitoring system, new
products  targeted for Latin America and transdermal drug delivery systems being
developed at the Company's Pharmetrix Division.

     INTEREST  INCOME/INTEREST  EXPENSE.  Interest income for the second quarter
increased $71,877 and $398,010 for the six month period as compared to the prior
year periods due to  investment  of the proceeds  from the  Company's  secondary
public offering  completed in April 1996.  Significantly  lower interest expense
reflected the payoff of a promissory note related to the Pharmetrix acquisition.

     NET LOSS.  The Company  incurred a second quarter net loss of $1,020,333 as
compared to a net loss of $611,083 in the second  quarter of 1996, and had a net
loss of  $1,795,092  for the first six month period of 1997 as compared to a net
loss of  $1,199,284  in the first six months of 1996.  This was primarily due to
the manufacturing  scale-up of various products and the continued  investment in
people, marketing and facility expansion.
<PAGE>

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company  had cash and  investments  of  $11,509,790  at June 30,  1997.
Working  capital at the end of the second quarter was  $13,333,507.  The Company
expects to  continue to draw upon its  working  capital to  purchase  production
equipment, develop and manufacture the TD Glucose System, engage in research and
development  related  to  transdermal  drug  delivery,  develop  new  diagnostic
products,   conduct  clinical  trials  and  continued   investment  in  facility
expansion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The  Company  believes  that its  existing  cash  balances  and  investment
balances 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.

     Statements regarding future products, future prospects,  business plans and
strategies,  future revenues and revenue  sources,  future liquidity and capital
resources,  health care market  directions,  future  acceptance of the Company's
products,  possible growth in markets for at-home diagnostic testing, as well as
other  statements  contained in this report that address  activities,  events or
developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur
in the future,  and similar  statements are forward  looking  statements.  These
statements are based upon  assumptions and analyses made by the Company in light
of  current  conditions,  future  developments  and other  factors  the  Company
believes are  appropriate in the  circumstances,  or  information  obtained from
third  parties  and  are  subject  to  a  number  of   assumptions,   risks  and
uncertainties.  Readers are cautioned  that  forward-looking  statements are not
guarantees of future performance and that actual results might differ materially
from those suggested or projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of the
factors that may cause actual  future  events to differ from those  predicted or
assumed include: future advances in technologies and medicine; the uncertainties
of  health  care  reform;  risks  related  to the early  stage of the  Company's
existence and its products' development; the Company's ability to execute on its
business  plans;  the Company's  dependence  on outside  parties such as its key
customers and alliance partners; competition from major pharmaceutical,  medical
and diagnostic companies; risks and expense of government regulation and affects
of changes in regulation; the limited experience of the Company in manufacturing
and marketing products;  uncertainties connected with product liability exposure
and insurance; risks associated with growth and expansion; risks associated with
obtaining patents and other protections on intellectual property;  acceptance of
the   Company's   new  products  in  the   professional   and   over-the-counter
marketplaces;  uncertainties in availability of expansion  capital in the future
and other risks associated with capital markets.
