                             HYCOR BIOMEDICAL INC.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1995

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION
               In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying financial
       statements contain adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial
       position as of March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the results of
       operations and the cash flows for the three month periods ended March
       31, 1995 and 1994. The results of operations for any interim period are
       not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

               These statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
       regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include
       all the information and note disclosures required by generally accepted
       accounting principles for complete financial statements and may be
       subject to year-end adjustments.  The financial information contained in
       this report reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of
       management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the
       interim periods.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature
       except for those costs described in the following Item 2.  "Management's
       Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
       Operations."

               The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
       Hycor Biomedical Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material
       intercompany amounts and transactions have been eliminated.

               Reference is made to the audited financial statements and
       related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
       the year ended December 31, 1994.

               Net income per share is based upon the weighted average number
       of shares outstanding during the periods plus common stock equivalents
       relating to warrants and options.  The number of common stock
       equivalents relating to options and warrants is determined using the
       treasury stock method.  Common stock equivalents are not included when
       their effect is antidilutive.  Fully diluted net income per share
       approximates primary net income per share in each period.

2.     INVENTORIES
               Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
       method) or market.  Cost includes material, direct labor and
       manufacturing overhead.  Inventories at March 31, 1995 and December 31,
       1994 consist of:

3.     ACQUISITIONS
               On October 3, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of
       Medical Specialties International, Inc. (MSI) of So. Plainfield, New
       Jersey.  MSI primarily manufactures and sells hematology controls in
       domestic markets.

4.     FOREIGN CURRENCY
               Realized gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are
       included in operations as incurred and relate to intercompany balances
       amounting to approximately $2,053,000 between Hycor and its German
       subsidiary.  The Company has not hedged this foreign currency exchange
       rate position.


Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
               Results of Operations

FINANCIAL CONDITION
               The Company increased its working capital $1,189,000 as of March
31, 1995, compared to December 31, 1994. This was primarily as a result of
continued profitability. The Company expects to be able to fund operations from
current working capital and profits generated from operations.

               Cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and receivables
fluctuate throughout the year based upon the sales of products through
distributors and the timing of the distributors related payments to the
Company. These fluctuations do not have a significant seasonal component.

               Income taxes receivable increased $590,000 as of March 31, 1995,
compared to December 21, 1994, primarily due to recovery of foreign taxes paid
in association with the January 1994 acquisition of Melja Diagnostik GmbH.

               The Company's principal capital commitments are for lease
payments under non-cancelable operating leases and leasehold improvements.
Working capital and operating profits are anticipated to be sufficient to
satisfy these commitments.

               The Company is continuing to evaluate for acquisition additional
product lines and companies in the medical diagnostics field.  The Company
could use sources other than cash from operations, such as issuance of debt or
equity securities, to finance any such acquisition.  If such an acquisition
were completed, the Company's operating results and financial condition could
change significantly in future periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
               During the three month period ended March 31, 1995, sales
decreased 1%, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to a general
softness in the health care industry offset by the contribution from MSI
operations.  Gross profit for the quarter as a percentage of product sales
decreased from approximately 58% to 55%, primarily due to issues associated
with the manufacture of the new HY.TEC(TM) reagents which generated   
unfavorable production variances.  We do not expect these variances to  
continue.


                                  Page 6



   7

       Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period
ended March 31, 1995 have increased slightly for the quarter due to the
additional expenses from MSI and the marketing and sales support on the 
HY.TEC launch.

       For the three month period ended March 31, 1995, research and
development costs increased primarily due to continuing development on the
HY.TEC product line.
