                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       GENERAL AND DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE

         General - BioTime,  Inc.  (the  Company) was  organized on November 30,
         1990  as  a  California  corporation.   The  Company  is  a  biomedical
         organization,  currently in the development  stage, which is engaged in
         the  research and  development  of synthetic  plasma  expanders,  blood
         volume substitute solutions,  and organ preservation  solutions for use
         in surgery,  trauma care, organ transplant procedures,  and other areas
         of medicine.

         The balance sheet as of June 30, 2001, the statements of operations for
         the three  months and six months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000 and the
         period  from  inception  (November  30,  1990)  to June 30,  2001,  the
         statement of  shareholders'  equity for the six month period ended June
         30, 2001 and the period from inception  (November 30, 1990) to June 30,
         2001,  and the  statements  of cash flows for the six months ended June
         30, 2001 and 2000 and the period from inception  (November 30, 1990) to
         June 30, 2001 have been prepared by the Company  without audit.  In the
         opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  (consisting  only of normal
         recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the  financial
         position, results of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows at
         June 30, 2001 and for all periods presented have been made. The balance
         sheet as of December  31, 2000 is derived  from the  Company's  audited
         financial statements as of that date. The results of operations for the
         period  ended  June 30,  2001  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
         operating results anticipated for the full year.

         Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included in
         financial  statements  prepared in accordance  with generally  accepted
         accounting  principles  have been  condensed or omitted as permitted by
         regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange   Commission.   Certain
         previously  furnished  amounts have been  reclassified  to conform with
         presentations  made during the current  periods.  It is suggested  that
         these interim  condensed  financial  statements be read in  conjunction
         with the annual audited financial statements and notes thereto included
         in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000.

         Certain  Significant  Risks  and  Uncertainties  - The  preparation  of
         financial  statements in conformity with generally accepted  accounting
         principles  requires  management to make estimates and assumptions that
         affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
         contingent  assets  and  liabilities  at  the  date  of  the  financial
         statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
         reporting period.  Such management  estimates include certain accruals.
         Actual results could differ from those estimates.

         The  Company's  operations  are subject to a number of factors that can
         affect its  operating

                                        9



         results  and  financial  condition.  Such  factors  include but are not
         limited  to the  following:  the  results  of  clinical  trials  of the
         Company's products;  the Company's ability to obtain United States Food
         and Drug  Administration and foreign regulatory  approval to market its
         products;  competition  from  products  manufactured  and sold or being
         developed  by other  companies;  the price of and  demand  for  Company
         products;  the Company's ability to obtain additional financing and the
         terms of any such financing that may be obtained; the Company's ability
         to negotiate  favorable  licensing or other manufacturing and marketing
         agreements for its products;  the  availability of ingredients  used in
         the Company's  products;  and the availability of reimbursement for the
         cost of the Company's  products (and related treatment) from government
         health administration authorities, private health coverage insurers and
         other organizations.

         Development Stage Enterprise - Since November 30, 1990 (inception), the
         Company has been  engaged in research  and  development  activities  in
         connection with the development of synthetic  plasma  expanders,  blood
         volume  substitute  solutions  and  organ  preservation  products.  The
         Company has  limited  operating  revenues  and has  incurred  operating
         losses of  $29,183,176  from inception to June 30, 2001. The successful
         completion  of  the   Company's   product   development   program  and,
         ultimately,  achieving  profitable  operations is dependent upon future
         events  including  obtaining  adequate  capital to finance its future
         development activities, obtaining regulatory approvals for the products
         it develops and  achieving a level of revenues  adequate to support the
         Company's cost structure.

         Reclassification  - Certain prior year balances have been  reclassified
         to conform to current year presentation.

2.       RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In June 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board (the "FASB")
         issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting
         for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging  Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS
         133, as amended,  requires that every derivative instrument,  including
         certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, be recorded
         on the balance  sheet at its fair  value.  Changes in the fair value of
         derivatives  are  recorded  each  period in current  earnings  or other
         comprehensive  income,  depending on whether a derivative is designated
         as  part  of a hedge  transaction  and,  if it is,  the  type of  hedge
         transaction.  The  Company  adopted  SFAS 133,  as  amended,  effective
         January 1, 2001.  The adoption of SFAS 133, as amended,  did not have a
         significant impact on the financial position,  results of operations or
         cash  flows  of the  Company  as the  Company  had no  stand-  alone or
         embedded derivatives at June 30, 2001, and had not historically entered
         into any derivative transactions to hedge currency or other exposures.

         In  September  2000,  the FASB  issued SFAS No.  140,  "Accounting  for
         Transfers  and  Servicing of Financial  Assets and  Extinguishments  of
         Liabilities."  SFAS No. 140  replaces  SFAS No.  125,  "Accounting  for
         Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of


                                       10



         Liabilities."   It   revises   the   standards   for   accounting   for
         securitizations  and other transfers of financial assets and collateral
         and  requires  certain  disclosures,  but carries over most of SFAS No.
         125's provisions without  reconsideration.  The Company has adopted the
         applicable disclosure  requirements of SFAS No. 140 in its consolidated
         financial  statements  as of March 31, 2001.  Adoption of the remaining
         provisions  of SFAS No.  140,  which were  effective  for  transactions
         entered  into  after  March 31,  2001,  did not have any  impact on the
         Company's financial position or results of operations.

3.       LICENSE AGREEMENT

         Abbott Laboratories

         In April 1997, BioTime and Abbott Laboratories  ("Abbott") entered into
         an Exclusive  License  Agreement (the "License  Agreement") under which
         BioTime granted to Abbott an exclusive  license to manufacture and sell
         BioTime's  proprietary blood plasma volume expander solution Hextend in
         the United States and Canada for certain therapeutic uses.

         Under the License Agreement,  Abbott has paid the Company $2,500,000 of
         license  fees based upon  achievement  of specified  milestones.  Up to
         $37,500,000  of  additional  license  fees will be  payable  based upon
         annual  net sales of  Hextend at the rate of 10% of annual net sales if
         annual  net sales  exceed  $30,000,000  or 5% if  annual  net sales are
         between $15,000,000 and $30,000,000. Abbott's obligation to pay license
         fees on sales of Hextend  will expire on the earlier of January 1, 2007
         or, on a country by country basis, when all patents  protecting Hextend
         in the  applicable  country  expire or any third party obtains  certain
         regulatory  approvals  to market a generic  equivalent  product in that
         country.

         In addition to the license  fees,  Abbott pays the Company a royalty on
         annual net sales of Hextend.  The royalty rate is 5% plus an additional
         .22% for each  increment  of  $1,000,000  of annual net sales,  up to a
         maximum  royalty rate of 36%.  Abbott's  obligation to pay royalties on
         sales of Hextend  will  expire in the United  States or Canada when all
         patents  protecting  Hextend in the  applicable  country expire and any
         third party obtains  certain  regulatory  approvals to market a generic
         equivalent product in that country.

         The Company  recognizes  such  revenues in the quarter in which a sales
         report is received  from  Abbott,  rather than the quarter in which the
         sales took place, as the Company does not have sufficient sales history
         to accurately  predict  quarterly sales.  Revenues for the three months
         ended June 30, 2001 consist of royalties on sales made by Abbott during
         the three months  ended March 31, 2001.  Royalties on sales made during
         the second  quarter of 2001 will not be recognized by the Company until
         the third quarter.

         Abbott has agreed  that the  Company  may  convert  Abbott's  exclusive
         license  to a non-  exclusive  license  or may  terminate  the  license
         outright if certain minimum sales and royalty  payments are not met. In
         order  to  terminate  the  license   outright,   BioTime  would  pay  a
         termination  fee in an amount ranging from the milestone  payments made
         by Abbott to an  amount  equal to three  times  prior  year net  sales,
         depending upon when termination  occurs.  Management  believes that the
         probability of payment of any termination fee by the Company is remote.

                                       11


         Horus

         On  February  13,  2001,  BioTime,  Inc.  and Horus B.V.  ("Horus"),  a
         subsidiary  of Akzo Nobel,  N.V.  ("Akzo")  entered  into an  Exclusive
         License  Agreement  under which  BioTime  granted to Horus an exclusive
         license  to  manufacture  and sell  Hextend  in all  parts of the world
         except the United  States,  Canada and Japan.  The agreement with Horus
         was  terminated  by BioTime  during  August 2001 after  Horus  informed
         BioTime  that Horus  would not  complete  necessary  manufacturing  and
         supply arrangements,  and failed to pay BioTime the initial license fee
         required to fully implement the agreement.

4.       LINE OF CREDIT

         During  March 2001,  BioTime  entered  into a Revolving  Line of Credit
         Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with Alfred D. Kingsley, an investor
         and  consultant to the Company,  under which BioTime could borrow up to
         $1,000,000 for working capital  purposes at an interest rate of 10% per
         annum. As of June 30, 2001, $500,000 had been drawn down on the line of
         credit,  and the balance was drawn down  subsequent  to that date.  The
         line of credit was  converted to a debenture  during  August 2001.  See
         Note 7.

         In consideration for making the line of credit  available,  the Company
         issued to Mr. Kingsley a fully vested warrant to purchase 50,000 common
         shares at an exercise  price of $8.31.  The fair value of this warrant,
         $254,595, was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model with the
         following  assumptions:  contractual  life  of  five  years;  risk-free
         interest rate of 5.50%;  volatility of 87.55%;  and no dividends during
         the expected term. This amount is being  amortized to interest  expense
         and will be fully  amortized in connection  with the  conversion of the
         line of credit to a debenture in August 2001.

5.       SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

         The Board of  Directors  of the Company  adopted the 1992 Stock  Option
         Plan (the "Plan") during  September  1992. The Plan was approved by the
         shareholders  at the 1992 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on December 1,
         1992.  Under the Plan, as amended,  the Company has reserved  1,800,000
         common shares for issuance under options  granted to eligible  persons.
         No options may be granted  under the Plan more than ten years after the
         date the Plan was  adopted  by the Board of  Directors,  and no options
         granted  under the Plan may be exercised  after the  expiration  of ten
         years from the date of grant.

         Under the Plan,  options to  purchase  common  shares may be granted to
         employees,  directors and certain  consultants  at prices not less than
         the fair market value at date of grant for incentive  stock options and
         not less than 85% of fair market value for other stock  options.  These
         options  expire  five to ten  years  from the date of grant  and may be
         fully  exercisable  immediately,  or may be exercisable  according to a
         schedule  or  conditions  specified  by the Board of  Directors  or the
         Option  Committee.  As of June 30, 2001,  460,500 shares were available
         for  future  grants  under the Option  Plan;  and  options to  purchase
         441,461 shares had been granted and were outstanding at exercise prices
         ranging from $1.13 to $18.25.  Of the options  granted to  consultants,
         options to  purchase  55,000  common  shares vest upon  achievement  of
         certain  milestones.  The Company is amortizing into  compensation  the
         estimated fair value of the options granted to consultants ($323,163 at
         June 30, 2001),  over the period  estimated to achieve such  milestones
         (one  to two  years),  subject  to  remeasurement  at the  end of  each
         reporting period.  Compensation expense was recognized on these options
         during the three months ended June 30, 2001 of approximately $8,000 and
         was recorded as research and development expense.

                                       12


         During  April 1998,  the  Company  entered  into a  financial  advisory
         services  agreement with Greenbelt Corp. The agreement  provided for an
         initial  payment of $90,000  followed by an advisory fee of $15,000 per
         month  that was paid  quarterly.  On  August  11,  2000,  the  Board of
         Directors approved the renewal of this agreement for a period of twelve
         months  ending  March  31,  2001,  but  instead  of  cash  compensation
         Greenbelt  Corp.  received  30,000  common  shares  in  four  quarterly
         installments   of  7,500  shares  each.  The  value  of  the  quarterly
         installments  was recognized in the quarter they are earned.  Under the
         agreement, upon the request of Greenbelt Corp., the Company will file a
         registration statement to register the shares for public sale.

6.       NET LOSS PER SHARE

         Basic  net  loss per  share is  computed  by  dividing  net loss by the
         weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
         Diluted loss per share reflects the potential  dilution from securities
         and other contracts  which are  exercisable or convertible  into common
         shares.  Diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June
         30, 2001  exclude an  aggregate  of 507,193  common  equivalent  shares
         related to options and warrants, as their effect was antidilutive. As a
         result,  there is no difference between basic and diluted  calculations
         of loss per share for all periods presented.

7.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         During August 2001,  the Company  received  loans,  and  commitments to
         loan,  $3,350,000  through the sale of debentures to a group of private
         investors,  including  Alfred D. Kingsley who  purchased  $1,500,000 of
         debentures,  and  Milton  Dresner,  a  director  of  the  Company.  Mr.
         Kingsley's  investment  included  the  conversion  of  the  outstanding
         principal  balance of the line of credit,  which was  $1,000,000 at the
         date of the sale of the debentures.  The Company plans to seek up to an
         additional  $1,650,000 of debt financing through the sale of additional
         debentures,  but  there  is no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  be
         successful in raising that additional capital.

         Interest on the  debentures  is payable at an annual rate of 10% and is
         payable  semiannually.  The principal  amount of the debentures will be
         due and payable on August 1, 2004.  BioTime may prepay the  debentures,
         in whole or in part, at any time without premium or penalty.  Under the
         terms of the debentures  BioTime has agreed that commencing  October 1,
         2001 it  will  restrict  its  quarterly  cash  payments  for  operating
         expenses to not more than $450,000  (excluding  interest payable on the
         debentures)  plus the amount of cash revenues  (excluding  interest and
         dividends) it collects for the quarter.  That  restriction  will expire
         when  BioTime  obtains at least  $5,000,000  in cash  through  sales of
         equity  securities or pays off the debenture  indebtedness in full. For
         this purpose,  cash revenues will include royalties,  license fees, and
         other  proceeds  from  the  sale  or  licensing  of  its  products  and
         technology,  but will not include  interest,  dividends,  or any monies
         borrowed or the  proceeds  from the issue or sale of any debt or equity
         securities.  BioTime  has also  agreed  not to  declare or pay any cash
         dividends on its capital stock or to redeem or repurchase any shares of
         its capital stock, until it has paid off the debenture  indebtedness in
         full.

         Investors  who  purchased  the  debentures  also  received  warrants to
         purchase a total of 515,383 common shares at an exercise price of $6.50
         per share. The warrants will expire if not exercised by August 1, 2004.
         The  Company has the right to call the  warrants  for  redemption  at a
         redemption  price  of  $0.01  per  share  if the  closing  price of the
         Company's  common  shares  on the  American  Stock  Exchange  equals or
         exceeds 150% of the exercise price for fifteen (15) consecutive trading
         days and the shares  issuable  upon the exercise of the  warrants  have
         been  registered  for sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
         (the "Securities Act").

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


                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

         Since its  inception  in November  1990,  the Company has been  engaged
primarily in research and  development  activities  which have culminated in the
commercial  launch  of  Hextend,  its  lead  product,  and a  clinical  trial of
PentaLyte.  The Company's  operating revenues have been generated primarily from
licensing fees,  including  $2,500,000 received from Abbott Laboratories for the
right to manufacture and market Hextend(R) in the United States and Canada. As a
result of the developmental  nature of its business and the limited sales of its
product,  since  the  Company's  inception  in  November  1990  it has  incurred
$29,183,176 of losses. The Company's ability to generate  substantial  operating
revenue  depends upon its success in  developing  and marketing or licensing its
plasma volume  expanders and organ  preservation  solutions and  technology  for
medical use.

         Most of the  Company's  research  and  development  efforts  have  been
devoted  to  the  Company's  first  three  blood  volume  replacement  products:
Hextend,(R)  PentaLyte,(R)  and  HetaCool.(TM) By testing and bringing all three
products to the market,  BioTime can increase its market share by providing  the
medical  community  with  solutions  to match  patients'  needs.  By  developing
technology for the use of HetaCool in low temperature surgery,  trauma care, and
organ  transplant  surgery,  BioTime may also create new market segments for its
product line.

         The Company's first product,  Hextend,  is a  physiologically  balanced
blood plasma volume expander, for the treatment of hypovolemia. Hextend is being
sold in the United States by Abbott Laboratories under an exclusive license from
the  Company.  Abbott  also has the right to sell  Hextend in  Canada,  where an
application for marketing approval is pending. Abbott also has a right to obtain
licenses to manufacture and sell other BioTime products.

         Under its License Agreement with the Company,  Abbott will report sales
of Hextend and pay the Company the  royalties and license fees due on account of
such sales within 90 days after the end of each  calendar  quarter.  The Company
recognizes  such  revenues in the quarter in which the sales report is received,
rather than the quarter in which the sales took place,  as the Company  does not
have sufficient sales history to accurately  predict  quarterly  sales.  Hextend
sales are still in the ramp-up  phase.  Revenues for the three months ended June
30,  2001 were  $29,958 and consist of  royalties  on sales of $550,639  made by
Abbott  during the period  beginning  January 1, 2001 and ending March 31, 2001.
Sales  of  Hextend  during  the  first  quarter  of 2001  were  impacted  by the
purchasing  practices of certain  wholesale  distributors  who  increased  their
purchases of inventory during the last month of the fourth quarter of 2000, with
a corresponding reduction in purchases during the first quarter of the new year.

                                       14




         Sales of  Hextend  during  the  second  quarter  ended  June  30,  2001
increased  to  $669,409.  Sales of Hextend for the first six months of 2001 were
$1,220,102,  up from $516,839  during the same period last year,  representing a
136% increase.  Royalty  revenues of $36,416  received from second quarter sales
will be recognized  by the Company  during third  quarter  ending  September 30,
2001. The Company expects Hextend sales growth to accelerate now that Abbott has
augmented   its   dedicated   Hextend   sales   force   and  as   surgeons   and
anesthesiologists  become  more  familiar with the benefits that can be attained
for their patients by using Hextend.

         Because  Hextend is a surgical  product,  sales will be  determined  by
anesthesiologists,  surgeons  practicing a variety of specialties,  and hospital
pharmacists.  Abbott's  marketing  strategy  is  designed  to reach this  target
customer base through  sales calls and an  advertising  campaign  focused on the
physiological  basis of using a  plasma-like  substance  to  replace  lost blood
volume and the ability of Hextend to support vital physiological processes.

         As part of the marketing program,  Abbott and the Company have financed
a number of studies  showing  the  advantages  of  receiving  Hextend  and other
BioTime  products  during surgery.  As these studies are completed,  the results
will be  presented  at medical  conferences  and  articles  will be written  for
publication  in medical  journals.  The  Company  is also  aware of  independent
studies using Hextend that are being conducted by physicians and hospitals,  who
may publish their findings in medical  journals.  The outcome of medical studies
and timing of the  publication  of the  results  could have an effect on Hextend
sales.

         The results of recent  studies  describing the importance of Hextend in
the treatment of  hypovolemia  (low blood  volume) in surgery,  trauma and shock
were presented at the Society for Critical Care Medicine,  held in San Francisco
during February 2001, and the 21st International Symposium on Intensive Care and
Emergency  Medicine  held during March 2001,  in Brussels,  Belgium.  Compelling
evidence  describing the advantages of using Hextend to maintain kidney function
during  cardiovascular  surgery was  presented at the Society of  Cardiovascular
Anesthesiologists  held in  Vancouver  early in May 2001.  Abbott  sales  people
attended, and there was an exhibit promoting Hextend.

         Other  important  findings  have  been  accepted  for  presentation  at
upcoming  meetings  such as the  American  Society of  Anesthesiologists  in New
Orleans in October  2001.  These  findings  demonstrate  certain  advantages  of
Hextend in maintaining  kidney function without the need for dialysis,  reducing
incidents  of deep  venous  thrombosis,  nausea,  pain,  and  maintaining  blood
clotting function in surgical patients.  Articles discussing  laboratory studies
using  Hextend and  PentaLyte  have  appeared in the  February  2001  edition of
Anesthesia & Analgesia.  Another article  featuring the results of the Company's
clinical study of elderly surgical  patients,  which compared  lactated Ringer's
solution  and Hextend to saline and  hetastarch  in saline in the  treatment  of
hypovolemia,  has been accepted for publication by a peer reviewed  journal.  In
this study,  patients treated with Hextend had significantly  better maintenance
of acid-base balance and blood biochemistry, as well as better overall outcomes.

         Abbott is also working with hospitals to have Hextend  approved for use
and added to hospital formularies, and has obtained formulary committee approval
in hundreds of hospitals. Inclusion on hospital formularies is important because
it enables  physicians to obtain  Hextend  without the need

                                       15



to special order  it. Obtaining formulary  approval can be a lengthy process and
requires diligent efforts by the sales force who not only provide Hextend to the
hospital but also can provide the formulary committee with necessary information
showing that the product is safe and effective.

         Abbott has concentrated on establishing  Hextend as the standard plasma
volume expander at prominent  teaching  hospitals and leading  medical  centers,
such  as  Duke  University   Medical  Center  in  Durham,   North  Carolina  and
Columbia-Presbyterian  Medical Center in New York, New York, which have switched
to Hextend  from 6%  hetastarch  in saline.  BioTime  feels that as Hextend  use
proliferates  within  the leading US  hospitals,  other smaller  hospitals  will
follow their lead and accelerate sales growth.

         The Company has completed a Phase I clinical  trial of PentaLyte and is
planning the next phase of its clinical  trials in which  PentaLyte will be used
to treat hypovolemia in surgery.

         The Company is also continuing to develop solutions for low temperature
surgery.  Once a  sufficient  amount of data  from  successful  low  temperature
surgery has been compiled,  the Company plans to seek  permission to use Hextend
as a complete  replacement  for blood under  near-freezing  conditions.  BioTime
currently plans to market Hextend for complete blood volume  replacement at very
low  temperatures  under the  registered  trade  mark  "HetaCool(TM)"  after FDA
approval is obtained.

         BioTime has  recently  launched a research  program  using  HetaCool in
animal  models  of trauma at the State  University  of New York  Health  Science
Center in Brooklyn.  Preliminary laboratory results there have already supported
the feasibility of using HetaCool to treat subjects following severe hemorrhage.
The use of HetaCool at near-freezing temperatures also will be studied in animal
models of cardiovascular surgery at the Texas Heart Institute in Houston.

         BioTime  scientists believe that the HetaCool program has the potential
to produce a product that could be used in very high fluid volumes (50 liters or
more per procedure if HetaCool were used as an organ preservation solution or to
temporarily replace substantially all of the patient's circulating blood volume)
in cardiovascular surgery, trauma treatment, and organ transplantation.  BioTime
presented  some  of  its   laboratory   studies  on  HetaCool  at  Combat  Fluid
Resuscitation  2001,  held in Bethesda,  MD during June 2001. The conference was
sponsored by the Office of Naval  Research,  the U.S. Army Medical  Research and
Materiel  Command,  and the Department of Surgery and the Department of Military
and  Emergency  Medicine  of the  Uniformed  Services  University  of the Health
Sciences.  Two other groups reported on their laboratory  studies that suggested
potential advantages of using Hextend in military trauma cases.

         Abbott  has an  option to obtain a  license  to  market  PentaLyte  and
HetaCool in the United States and Canada,  and BioTime would receive  additional
license  fees if those  options  are  exercised,  in addition  to  royalties  on
subsequent sales of those products. BioTime and certain pharmaceutical companies
are discussing  potential  manufacturing,  distributing and marketing agreements
for BioTime products in the rest of the world.

         In order to commence  clinical  trials for  regulatory  approval of new
products or new

                                       16




therapeutic  uses of products,  it will be necessary  for the Company to prepare
and file with the FDA an  Investigational  New Drug  Application  ("IND")  or an
amendment to expand a previous filing.  Filings with foreign regulatory agencies
will be required to commence clinical trials overseas. The Company's application
to market  Hextend in Canada has been found  acceptable for review as a New Drug
Submission by the Canadian Health  Protection  Branch (HPB),  and the Company is
currently  awaiting  completion of HPB's review of that application.  During the
third quarter of 2000, the Company filed its first application for approval in a
European Union member nation,  Sweden.  Regulatory approvals for other countries
that  are  members  of the  European  Union  may be  obtained  through  a mutual
recognition  process.  If approvals can be obtained in the  requisite  number of
member nations,  then the Company would be permitted to market Hextend in all 16
member nations.

         In addition to developing clinical trial programs, the Company plans to
continue to provide  funding  for its  laboratory  testing  programs at selected
universities,  medical  schools  and  hospitals  for the  purpose of  developing
additional uses of Hextend, PentaLyte, HetaCool, and other new products, but the
amount of research that will be conducted at those institutions will depend upon
the Company's  financial status.  Because the Company's research and development
expenses, clinical trial expenses, and production and marketing expenses will be
charged against earnings for financial  reporting  purposes,  management expects
that  there will be losses  from operations  from time to time  during  the near
future.

Hextend(R) and  PentaLyte(R)  are registered  trademarks,  and HetaCool(TM) is a
trademark, of BioTime.

Results of Operations

Revenues

         From  inception  (November 30, 1990) through June 30, 2001, the Company
recognized  $2,500,000  of license fee  revenues.  All  license  fees based upon
milestones  under the Abbott License  Agreement were earned prior to the quarter
ended June 30, 2000. See Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements.

         From  inception  (November 30, 1990) through June 30, 2001, the Company
has recognized $122,841 in royalty revenue based on product sales. For the three
months ended June 30, 2001, the Company  recognized  $29,958 in royalty revenue,
whereas the Company  recognized $7,387 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.
This  increase is  attributable  to an increase  in product  sales.  For the six
months ended June 30, 2001, the Company  recognized  $62,653 in royalty revenue,
as compared to the $13,119 it recognized for royalty  revenue for the six months
ended June 30,  2000;  again,  the  increase is  attributable  to an increase in
product sales. See Note 3 to the accompanying financial statements.

Operating Expenses

         From  inception  (November 30, 1990) through June 30, 2001, the Company
incurred $21,041,136 of research and development  expenses,  including salaries,
supplies,  and other related expense items.  Research and  development  expenses
were $541,894 for the three months ended June 30, 2001, compared to $930,147 for
the three months  ended June 30,  2000.  For the six months ended June 30, 2001,
research and development  expenses were  $1,095,786,  compared to $1,840,077 for
the

                                       17



six  months  ended  June 30,  2000.  These  differences  are  attributable  to a
significant decrease in spending with respect to clinical trials and preclinical
research.  Research and development  expenses include laboratory study expenses,
clinical  trial  expenses,   salaries,   preparation  of  additional  regulatory
applications  in the United  States and Europe,  manufacturing  of solution  for
trials,  and  consultants'  fees. It is expected  that research and  development
expenses  will  increase as the Company  commences  new clinical  studies of its
products in the United  States and Europe.

         From  inception  (November 30, 1990) through June 30, 2001, the Company
incurred  $12,516,872  in  general  and  administrative  expenses.  General  and
administrative  expenses  were  $613,490  for the three  months  ended  June 30,
2001compared  to $448,713 for the three months ended June 30, 2000.  General and
administrative  expenses  increased to $1,050,487  for the six months ended June
30, 2001 from $924,181 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.  These  increases
are  attributable  to a rise in  personnel  costs.  General  and  administrative
expenses include salaries, consultants' fees, and general operating expenses.

Interest and Other Income

         From  inception  (November 30, 1990) through June 30, 2001, the Company
generated  $1,751,991 of interest and other  income.  For the three months ended
June 30,  2001,  the  Company  generated  $5,402 of interest  and other  income,
compared  to $41,712  for the three  months  ended June 30,  2000.  The  Company
generated $11,857 of interest and other income for the six months ended June 30,
2001,  compared to $101,431  generated  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000.
These decreases are  attributable to much lower average cash balances during the
first two quarters of 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Since  inception,  the Company has  primarily  financed its  operations
through the sale of equity  securities,  licensing  fees,  and  borrowings  on a
$1,000,000  line of credit  provided  by Alfred D.  Kingsley,  an  investor  and
consultant to the Company.  During August 2001, the Company  received loans, and
commitments  to loan,  $3,350,000  through the sale of  debentures to a group of
private   investors,   including  Mr.  Kingsley  who  purchased   $1,500,000  of
debentures,  and Milton  Dresner,  a director  of the  Company.  Mr.  Kingsley's
investment  included the conversion of the outstanding  principal balance of the
line of credit,  which was $1,000,000 at the date of the sale of the debentures.
The  Company  plans to seek up to an  additional  $1,650,000  of debt  financing
through the sale of additional  debentures,  but there is no assurance  that the
Company will be successful in raising that additional capital.

         Interest on the  debentures  is payable at an annual rate of 10% and is
payable  semiannually.  The principal  amount of the debentures  will be due and
payable on August 1, 2004.  BioTime  may prepay the  debentures,  in whole or in
part, at any time without premium or penalty.  Under the terms of the debentures
BioTime  has  agreed  that  commencing  October  1,  2001 it will  restrict  its
quarterly  cash  payments  for  operating  expenses  to not more  than  $450,000
(excluding  interest payable on the debentures) plus the amount of cash revenues
(excluding interest and dividends) it collects for the quarter. That restriction
will expire when BioTime  obtains at least  $5,000,000  in cash through sales of
equity  securities  or pays off the  debenture  indebtedness  in full.  For this
purpose, cash revenues will include royalties,  license fees, and other proceeds
from the sale or licensing of its products and technology,  but will not include
interest,  dividends,  or any monies  borrowed or the proceeds from the issue or
sale of any debt or equity securities. BioTime has also agreed not to declare or
pay any cash dividends on its

                                       18



capital stock or to redeem or repurchase any shares of its capital stock,  until
it has paid off the debenture indebtedness in full.

         Investors  who  purchased  the  debentures  also  received  warrants to
purchase  a total of 515,383  common  shares at an  exercise  price of $6.50 per
share.  The warrants will expire if not exercised by August 1, 2004. The Company
has the right to call the warrants for redemption at a redemption price of $0.01
per share if the closing  price of the  Company's  common shares on the American
Stock  Exchange  equals or exceeds 150% of the  exercise  price for fifteen (15)
consecutive  trading  days and the  shares  issuable  upon the  exercise  of the
warrants  have been  registered  for sale under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Securities Act").

         The Company has engaged Shoreline  Pacific,  LLC to provide  investment
banking  services.  BioTime  needs  additional  equity  capital  and  fees  from
licensing  its  products to  pharmaceutical  companies  to continue  its current
operations,  to begin clinical  trials of PentaLyte,  and to conduct its planned
product development and research programs. Sales of additional equity securities
could  result in the  dilution of the  interests  of present  shareholders.  The
amount of license fees and  royalties  that may be earned  through the licensing
and sale of the Company's products and technology,  the timing of the receipt of
license fee payments, and the future availability and terms of equity financing,
is uncertain.  The unavailability or inadequacy of financing or revenues to meet
future  capital  needs  could  force the  Company to modify,  curtail,  delay or
suspend some or all aspects of its planned operations.

         Most  of the  Company's  employees  have  agreed  to  participate  in a
compensation  reduction  program designed to permit the Company to conserve cash
without  implementing  an  immediate  workforce  reduction  while it  seeks  new
capital. This program,  which began during August 2001, includes the deferral of
one month of salary for most  participants,  and a salary  reduction for ensuing
months.  The salary  reductions  will  range  from 56% to 78% for  participating
executive  officers,  and  14% to 38% for  other  participating  employees.  The
duration of the program  depends  upon a number of factors such as the amount of
time it takes to raise additional capital, the amount of capital raised, and the
willingness  of  employees  to  continue  to work for the Company at the reduced
compensation  rates.  The Company is also  negotiating  with its  consultants to
restructure their compensation arrangements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

The Company did not hold any market risk  sensitive  instruments  as of June 30,
2001, December 31, 2000, or June 30, 2000.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2.  Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds.

          Directors of the Company who are not  employees  receive an annual fee
of $20,000,  which may be paid in cash or in common  shares,  at the election of
the director.  During the three months ended June 30, 2001,  the Company  issued
649 common  shares to Milton D.  Dresner in lieu of a cash fee for  serving as a
director.  The shares were issued without  registration under the Securities Act
pursuant to the exemption provided in Section 4(2).

         During August 2001,  the Company  issued  warrants to purchase  515,383
common  shares at an  exercise  price of $6.50 to  purchasers  of the  Company's
Series 2001-A 10% Debentures due August 1, 2004. The warrants will expire if not
exercised by August 1, 2004.  The Company has the right to call the warrants for
redemption  if the  closing  price of the common  shares on the  American  Stock
Exchange  equals  or  exceeds  150%  of the  exercise  price  for  fifteen  (15)
consecutive  trading  days and the  shares  issuable  upon the  exercise  of the
warrants have been  registered for sale under the  Securities  Act. The warrants
were  issued  without  registration  under the  Securities  Act  pursuant to the
exemption provided in Section 4(2).

Item 5.  Other Information.

         On August 10,  2001,  the Company  appointed  Steven  Seinberg as Chief
Financial Officer.  Mr. Seinberg replaces Victoria Bellport who left the Company
for  personal  reasons.  Mr.  Seinberg  served for over five years as  BioTime's
Director of Financial and Legal Research, a position that involved,  among other
duties,  contract  documentation  and  management of the Company's  intellectual
property portfolio.  Mr. Seinberg received a B.S. in Finance from San Jose State
University in 1989, and a J.D. from Hastings College of the Law in 1994.
