                            HYCOR BIOMEDICAL INC.
             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              September 30, 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 September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the results of operations and
     the cash flows for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
     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. Certain items in the 1994 consolidated financial
     statements have been reclassified to conform with the 1995 presentation.

          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.

3.   FOREIGN CURRENCY
          Realized gains or losses from foreign currency transactions are
     included in operations as incurred and relate to intercompany balances
     amounting to approximately $932,000 between Hycor and its German
     subsidiary. The Company has hedged the majority of 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 $1,813,000 as of September
30, 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 have gone from a net receivable of $90,170 at 
December 31, 1994 to a net payable of $686,220 at September 30, 1995. This was 
due primarily to the standard accrual of estimated income taxes which have been 
offset by the utilization of net operating loss carry forwards in the 
computation of estimated quarterly tax deposits.


                                    Page 6

   7
          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
          On July 27, 1995, the Company announced plans for a major
restructuring designed to focus operations on high potential clinical
immunology segments. Included in the strategy is the discontinuation of several
product areas in which the company currently participates. As part of this
restructuring, Hycor had anticipated recording a one-time, extraordinary,
pre-tax charge in the third quarter of 1995 ranging from $1.0 to $2.0 million.
Several parties have expressed interest in product lines that are being
divested. These developments, along with recent SEC directives on the
recognition of various restructuring charges and the advice of our auditors,
lead us to postpone recording the one-time charge announced on July 27th. We
currently anticipate that this action, combined with ongoing developments, will
result in our posting a charge in the fourth quarter of this year lower than
previously announced.

          During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995,
sales decreased .5% and 2%, respectively, compared to the same periods last
year. The increase in international allergy product was offset by lower sales
in certain product lines that are being discontinued. Gross profit as a
percentage of product sales for the three and nine month periods decreased from
approximately 55% to 54% and from 56% to 55%, respectively, compared to the
same periods last year.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1995 have increased approximately 13% and 8%,
respectively, over the prior year period due to the additional expenses from
the activities of Medical Specialties International (MSI), acquired in October
1994, and the expanded marketing and sales programs related to the
implementation of the Company's restructuring plan.


                                    Page 7

   8
          For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1995,
research and development costs increased approximately 66% and 33%,
respectively. This increase is also primarily due to the implementation of the
restructuring plan.
