HEMACARE CORPORATION 
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation and General Information 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of 
HemaCare Corporation (the "Company" or "HemaCare") have been prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q 
and Rule 10-01 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) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been 
included.  Operating results for the three and nine months ended 
September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that 
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.  Certain 1995 
amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 1996 presentation.  
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial 
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual 
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

From 1990 to November 1995, the Company, through its wholly owned 
subsidiary HemaBiologics, Inc. ("HBI"), conducted research and 
development of ImmupathTM, an anti-HIV hyperimmune plasma-based 
product intended to be used in the treatment of Acquired Immune 
Deficiency Syndrome ("AIDS").  In connection with this project, the 
Company licensed the rights to the United States patent to 
commercialize Immupath from Medicorp, Inc. ("Medicorp"). In November 
1995, the Company's Board of Directors decided to discontinue the 
operations of HBI. At the time the operations were discontinued, each 
party to the license alleged that the other party was in breach of the 
agreement.  (Notes 2 and 5).

In September 1995, the Company formed Gateway Community Blood Program, 
Inc. ("Gateway"), a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated in Missouri, 
to provide blood products and services in portions of Missouri and 
Illinois.  

The Company opened its University of Southern California Blood Center 
("USC Blood Center"), a full-service blood donation and services 
facility, in February 1996.  The USC Blood Center facility is leased 
from USC and is staffed and operated by HemaCare under its Food and 
Drug Administration ("FDA") license.  Located on the USC Health 
Sciences Campus in Los Angeles, California, the center provides 
services to the USC/Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center and Hospital 
and the USC University Hospital (the "USC Hospitals").  The USC 
Hospitals have agreed that HemaCare will be their primary provider of 
blood products and therapeutic services for the three-year period 
ending February 1999.  Pathologists on the USC medical faculty provide 
medical direction services for the USC Blood Center as consultants to 
the Company.

Note 2 - Discontinued Operations

In November 1995, the Company's Board of Directors decided to 
discontinue the operations of HBI, including the research and 
development of Immupath and the associated specialty plasma business. 
In connection with this decision, the Company wrote off the remaining 
book value of HBI's assets and provided a reserve for estimated 
operating losses from the November 30, 1995 measurement date through 
December 1996, the expected date of substantial completion of 
disposal.  The loss on the disposition of HBI's operations has been 
accounted for as discontinued operations, and prior year financial 
statements have been restated to reflect the discontinuation of these 
operations.  The net loss from such operations for the three months 
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $232,000 and $767,000, 
respectively. For the three-month and nine-month periods ended 
September 30, 1996, the Company's reserve for discontinued operations 
decreased by $647,000 and increased by $591,000, respectively. 

The reserve established for estimated HBI operating losses during the 
period of disposal included a $600,000 contingent liability for the 
resolution of the dispute with Medicorp. In July 1996, the dispute was 
settled without any payment by the Company, and the Company recognized 
a $600,000 gain on disposal of discontinued operations. (See Note 5).
In June 1996, the Company signed an amended agreement to sell
substantially all the tangible assets of the discontinued operations 
and two of the three remaining FDA source plasma licenses.  The sale 
and transfer of the licenses was contingent upon obtaining FDA 
approval which was received on October 21, 1996. The buyer has 
delivered a promissory note in payment of the purchase price for the 
tangible assets sold which is collateralized by these assets. However, 
the buyer's ability to make payment on the note, which was due 
November 2, 1996, is dependent upon the completion of a financing 
transaction by the buyer. If, upon completion of the sale transaction, 
the remaining reserve exceeds any estimated residual costs of 
disposition, the Company will reduce its liabilities by the amount of 
the remaining reserve for disposal and increase its net income and 
retained earnings in a corresponding amount. 

Note 3 - Line of Credit

Since August 1991, the Company has maintained a line of credit with a 
commercial bank secured by its accounts receivable, inventory and 
equipment. The credit line is in effect through April 30, 1997. Under 
the terms of the credit line agreement, as amended, the Company may 
borrow up to 70% of eligible accounts receivable, up to a maximum of 
$700,000 and must maintain certain ratios, including working capital, 
as defined, of $500,000 and a tangible net worth of not less than $1.2 
million prior to March 31, 1997 and not less than $1.8 million 
thereafter. The Company was in compliance with all covenants of its 
borrowing agreement, as amended, at September 30, 1996.  Interest on 
credit line borrowings is at the lender's prime rate (8.25% at 
September 30, 1996) plus one-half of a percentage point.  As of 
September 30, 1996, there was no balance outstanding under the line of 
credit.

Note 4 - Shareholders' Equity

In August 1996, the Company completed a $1.2 million private placement 
of 1.2 million shares of its common stock.

In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for 
Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").  SFAS 123 recommends changes 
in accounting for employee stock based compensation plans and requires 
certain disclosures with respect to these plans.  The Company will 
adopt SFAS 123 prior to December 31, 1996. The Company does not expect 
the adoption of SFAS 123 to materially impact the Company's financial 
position or its results of operations.

Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies

On March 11, 1994, the Company was served with a lawsuit filed by a 
former employee against the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, 
HBI, in the Superior Court of the State of California, related to the 
termination of this employee and seeking relief in the amount of 
$550,000.  A trial date has been set for October 29, 1997; however, at 
this stage in the proceedings, neither management nor counsel are in a 
position to evaluate the probable merits of the claim asserted by this 
former employee.  Accordingly, the resolution of this lawsuit could 
have a material impact on the Company's financial conditions and 
results of operations.

In November 1995, the Company terminated its license agreement with 
Medicorp (Note 1) due to an alleged default by the license holder.  
The Company also notified Medicorp that the stock purchase warrants 
(exercisable for 400,000 shares of HemaCare common stock at $5.50 per 
share) issued by the Company to Medicorp had terminated under their 
terms, due to the default.  Medicorp denied that it had breached the 
license agreement and alleged that the Company was liable for 
royalties of approximately $425,000 under the license agreement and 
that its warrants remained outstanding.  On July 19, 1996, the Company 
and Medicorp Inc. entered into a settlement agreement and mutual 
release resolving all disputes between them related to their February 
1993 license agreement.  In the Medicorp settlement agreement, the 
parties agreed  (i) to terminate the license agreement, (ii) to 
mutually release each other from all prior monetary and other breaches 
of the license agreement, (iii) that the Medicorp warrants would 
remain outstanding and exercisable and (iv) that the Company would 
grant a nonexclusive royalty-free license to Medicorp to certain 
research data and other documentation associated with the Immupath 
project. 

Note 6 - Related Party Information

In 1995 and 1994, the Company made a series of personal loans to 
Joshua Levy, then an officer and director of the Company, totaling 
$98,307.  The proceeds of these loans were used to refinance existing 
debt which was collateralized by HemaCare stock owned by Dr. Levy.  In 
January 1996, these individual notes were consolidated into a 
promissory note, collateralized by HemaCare stock owned by Dr. Levy, 
which accrues interest at a rate equal to the rate the Company pays 
under its line of credit (Note 3), adjusted quarterly.  Interest

                                 8
  

accrued related to the loans made to Dr. Levy was $2,154 for the three 
months and $6,392 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 
$2,445 for the three months and $7,092 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995, respectively.  The note requires four annual 
installment payments of $15,000 due on January 31, with the balance of 
the principal and accrued interest due on January 31, 2000.  The 
Company received its first annual installment payment of $15,000 in 
January 1996.

Note 7 - Recent Auditing Pronouncement

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company adopted Statement of 
Financial Auditing Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
("SFAS 121").  The adoption of SFAS 121 did not impact the Company's 
financial position or its results of operations.

Note 8 - Restatement

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes to
financial statements of the Company have been restated to reflect the
settlement of a dispute with a license holder in July 1996 (See Note 2)
and an adjustment of materials inventory related to a prior period.  The
effect of these events were not previously recognized in the Company's
September 30, 1996 unaudited consolidated financial statements.  These
corrections increased net income by $600,000 and $553,000 and increased
net income per share by $.10 and $.08 per share for the three and nine
months periods ended September 30, 1996, respectively.
