                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                   ------------------------------------------
                                  June 30,1995
(1)  Nature of Business
     ------------------

     MedChem Products, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") develop,
     manufacture and market specialty medical products for use in surgical and
     non-surgical procedures.  The Company's two business groups are the
     Surgical Specialties Group and the Drug Delivery Group.  The Surgical
     Specialties Group is comprised of the Company's Avitene(R) family of
     topical hemostasis products used to control bleeding in surgical procedures
     and the Sure-Closure product line, acquired in July 1994, used to close
     skin-deficit wounds.  The Drug Delivery Group is comprised of intravenous
     ("I.V")catheter products and disposable medical devices sold to the
     neonatal, pediatric and adult markets by the Company's wholly owned
     subsidiary, Gesco International, Inc. ("Gesco").

(2)  Basis of Presentation
     ---------------------

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared by
     the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
     Securities and Exchange Commission.  In the opinion of the Company, these
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
     only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
     consolidated financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1995 and the
     consolidated results of operations for the three months and six months
     ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and consolidated cash flows for the six months
     ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.  The results of operations for the six months
     ended June 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of results to be
     expected for the full year.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements and the related notes
     should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual financial
     statements filed with the Annual Report (Form 10-K) for the fiscal year
     ended August 31, 1994, and the Company's financial statements filed with
     the Transition Report (Form 10-Q) for the four months ended December 31,
     1994.

     The Company changed its fiscal year end from August 31, to December 31, and
     accordingly, has restated its prior period results to correspond to the new
     calendar period.

     Certain reclassifications were made to the 1994 consolidated financial
     statements to conform to the current year presentation.

(3)  Long-Term Debt
     --------------
 
     Long term debt consists of the following:
 
 
                                                      June 30,   December 31,

of $4,500,000 on May 1, 1997,
secured by tangible and intangible
property.                                             8,000,000    9,000,000

     At June 30, 1995, the Company obtained a waiver of a covenant pertaining to
     the ratio of indebtedness to net cash flow, and also reached an agreement
     with the bank to amend that covenant. It is probable that the Company will
     be in compliance with this amended covenant at the next measurement date.

(4)  Escrow Agreement
     ----------------

     On April 13, 1995, the Company paid $2,000,000 to an escrow account,
     pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Distribution Agreement, dated
     March 31, 1995, between the Company and Coletica, a Lyon, France based
     manufacturer of medical devices.


                                       6


 
     Under terms of the distribution agreement the Company received an exclusive
     right to distribute Coletica's Hemostagene(R) collagen hemostatic sponge in
     the United States for five years.  The agreement also contains provisions
     for the extension of the term beyond five years upon the achievement of
     certain sales volume goals.

(5)  Merger Agreement
     ----------------

     On May 24, 1995, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
     approved a definitive agreement for a stock-for-stock merger of the Company
     ("Merger") into C.R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard"). Under the terms of the agreement
     each MedChem share will be valued at $9.25, subject to adjustment under
     certain circumstances and will be exchanged for Bard shares. The
     transaction is expected to be a tax free reorganization and to be accounted
     for as a pooling of interests. Under certain circumstances, if a
     transaction does not occur, Bard has an option to purchase the Company's
     Gesco subsidiary ("Option").

     The Company has elected to defer its costs and expenses of the Merger until
     the transaction closes or it is terminated.  As of June 30, 1995 the
     Company has deferred $405,265 of costs associated with the Merger.


(6)  Contingencies
     -------------

     On August 1, 1995, Edward J. Borto, who may be a stockholder of the
     Company, filed a putative class action naming as defendants, the Company,
     members of the Company's Board of Directors ("Board") and Bard. The
     plaintiff alleges, among other things, that the Company and the members of
     the Company's Board breached their fiduciary duties to the Company's
     stockholders by agreeing to be acquired by Bard for grossly unfair and
     inadequate consideration and in a manner which is coercive and
     fundamentally unfair to the Company's stockholders. The complaint seeks
     declaratory relief, preliminary and permanent injunction of the Merger and
     the Option, unspecified compensatory damages and costs and disbursements.
     The Company believes that the claims asserted are without merit and plans
     to defend against them vigorously. However, the amount of exposure, the
     outcome, or its effect on the consummation of the Merger, cannot be
     predicted at this time.
     
                                       7

 
     In December, 1994, the Internal Revenue Service (the "Service") selected
     MedChem (P.R.) Inc.'s 1992 tax return and its qualifications under 
     Section 936 for review. As a result of the review, the Service has
     initiated a request for technical advice from the National Office with
     respect to MedChem (P.R.), Inc.'s active conduct of a trade or business in
     Puerto Rico. The active conduct of a trade or business in Puerto Rico is a
     requirement of Section 936. Additionally, the Massachusetts Department of
     Revenue has selected for audit the Company's 1992 and 1993 state tax
     returns. At this time, the ultimate outcome of this review and audit cannot
     be predicted.

     The Company is currently involved in four pending product liability claims
     related to its Drug Delivery Group business. At this time the Company
     cannot estimate the exposure on its financial statements, if any, if the
     Company were unsuccessful in its defense of these claims.

PART I:   FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

     Financial Overview
     ------------------

     The Company reported consolidated net income of $1,174,911, or $0.11 per
     share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 1995, versus consolidated net
     income of $518,309 or $0.05 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 1994.
     For the first six months of 1995, net income was $1,980,264 or $0.19 per
     share versus $1,601,445 or $0.16 per share in the comparable period last
     year.

     On July 29, 1994, the Company purchased substantially all of the assets and
     assumed certain liabilities of the Sure-Closure product line from Life
     Medical Sciences, Inc ("L.M.S.").  The results of operations of the Sure-
     Closure product line since the date of acquisition have been included with
     those of the Company.

     On May 24, 1995, the Company announced that the Board of Directors had
     approved a definitive agreement for a stock-for-stock merger of the Company
     ("Merger") into C.R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard"). Under the terms of the agreement
     each MedChem share will be valued at $9.25, subject to adjustment under
     certain circumstances and will be exchanged for Bard shares. The
     transaction is expected to be a tax free reorganization and to be accounted
     for as a pooling of interests. Under certain circumstances, if a
     transaction does not occur, Bard has an option to purchase the Company's
     Gesco subsidiary ("Option").

     Results of Operations
     ---------------------

     Net sales for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 increased 42% to
     $9,822,717 from $6,926,324 in the comparable period last year.  During the
     second quarter of 1995, domestic sales increased 22% to $6,950,099 from
     $5,690,066 in the previous year's quarter. This increase was primarily due
     to sales generated by the recently acquired Sure-Closure product line.
     International sales for the three month period ended June 30, 1995
     increased 132% to $2,872,619 from $1,236,258 in the comparable quarter in
     1994, primarily due to increased sales to the Company's Avitene partner in
     Japan.

     Net sales for the first six months of 1995 increased by $4,384,153 or 30%
     to $19,243,987 from $14,859,834 in the corresponding period in the prior
     year.  During the first half of 1995, domestic sales increased 15% to
     $14,332,907 from $12,453,342 in the comparable period in the prior year.
     This increase was primarily due to sales generated by the recently acquired
     Sure-Closure product line and increased sales from the Company's Gesco
     subsidiary.  International sales for the first six months of 1995 increased
     by $2,504,589 or 104% to

                                       9

 
     $4,911,081 from $2,406,492 in the first six months of 1994, primarily due
     to increased sales to the Company's Avitene partner in Japan.  In the first
     half of 1994, international sales were depressed due to the overstocking
     position at the Company's Avitene partner in Japan which were previously
     disclosed and rectified in calendar 1994.  The Company anticipates an
     overall increase in total international sales in calendar 1995 as compared
     to 1994 primarily due to increased sales volume and more favorable exchange
     rates.

     Gross profit, as a percentage of net sales, for the three and six months
     ended June 30, 1995, each decreased to 68% from 69% in the comparable
     periods last year.

     Research and development expense (which includes regulatory and clinical
     trial expenses) increased to $511,681 and $1,114,433 for the three and six
     month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, from $302,937 and $481,118
     in the prior year due mainly to the research and development being
     conducted in connection with the Sure-Closure product line and increased
     product development related to the Company's Drug Delivery Group products.
     The Company expects an increase in research and development expenses for
     the full 1995 year as compared to 1994 due to the addition of the Sure-
     Closure product line and increased product development related to its Drug
     Delivery Group product line.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $929,170 to
     $3,355,940 for the three month period ended June 30, 1995 from $2,426,770
     in the prior year.  For the first six months of 1995, selling, general and
     administrative expenses increased by $1,681,923 to $6,966,176 from
     $5,284,253 in the comparable period in the prior year. The increase is
     attributable to higher Surgical Specialty sales force selling and marketing
     expenses resulting from the addition of the Sure-Closure product line and
     increased corporate administrative expenses. The Company expects no
     significant increase in selling, general and administrative expenses as a
     percentage of net sales for 1995 as compared to 1994.

     Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended
     June 30, 1995 totalled $669,108 and $1,315,895, respectively, compared to
     $608,147 and $1,218,802 in the comparable periods in the prior year.

     The Company recorded net interest expense for the three and six month
     periods ended June 30, 1995 of $395,402 and $773,913 versus $199,793 and
     $617,422 for the comparable periods in 1994.  The increase in interest
     expense for the first half of 1995 versus 1994 was due to higher interest
     rates and increased debt borrowing.

     The Company's effective tax rate for the three month and six months 
     ended June 30, 1995, each increased to 32% from 28% in the

                                      10


 
     comparable period last year. The increase was due to the recently enacted
     changes to Section 936 which reduced the tax benefit to the Company. The
     Company anticipates its effective tax rate will increase to the statutory
     rate during the year as the Company completes the move of its Avitene
     finished goods manufacturing to the United States, as previously disclosed,
     and accordingly, loses its tax benefit under Section 936.
     

     Liquidity and Capital Resources
     -------------------------------

     The Company generated net cash from operating activities of $2,525,794 in
     the first half of 1995 versus $1,800,260 in the comparable period last
     year.
 
     At June 30, 1995, the Company had a revolving line of credit agreement
     whereby the bank will lend the Company up to $9,000,000 at the bank's prime
     rate plus a quarter percent or cost of funds rate plus two and one quarter
     percent and a $10,000,000 term loan.  At June 30, 1995 there was $7,350,000
     outstanding under this line and $8,000,000 outstanding under the term loan.
     The line of credit expires in June 1997 and the $10,000,000 term loan is
     payable to the bank in quarterly installments of $500,000 through 1997,
     with a final payment of $4,500,000 due on May 1, 1997.

     The $4,103,204 of convertible subordinated debt issued to Gesco's principal
     sellers is convertible at the option of the holders into common stock at
     $11.73 per share.  The note can be prepaid in whole, but not in part, at
     par at the Company's option, and is payable in full on August 4, 1997.

     In connection with the purchase of the Sure-Closure product line, the
     Company issued a non-interest bearing note payable to L.M.S. in the
     principal amount of $2,000,000.  The first installment of $1,000,000 and
