             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                    SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997 AND 1996

         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
June 30, 1997 and December 31, 1996, the results of operations for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 and cash flows for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the Company and its subsidiary. All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

1.  MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         Upon adoption of FASB No. 115, management has determined that the
company's portfolio is best characterized as "Available-For-Sale". This has
resulted in the balance sheet carrying value of the company's marketable
securities investments, as of June 30,1997, and December 31, 1996, being
increased approximately 39.75% and 44.26% respectively over its historical
cost. A corresponding increase in shareholders' equity has been effectuated. In
accordance with the provisions of FASB No.115, the adjustment in shareholders'
equity to reflect the company's unrealized gains has been made net of the tax
effect had these gains been realized.

The following table summarizes the company's investments as of:

                           Part II OTHER INFORMATION

   Legal Proceedings

         As previously reported, Daxor Corporation, (through its separately
licensed divisions), has been involved in various proceedings with the New York
State Department of Health relating to its licenses to operate clinical
laboratories, its blood bank and semen bank. The following is a summary of
recent activity in these matters in the second quarter ended June 30, 1997
Litigation in which there was no activity has been described in previous
filings:

         1. Daxor v. State (Court of Appeals)

            The Court of Appeals reversed the decision of the Appellate
Division, First Department stating that Daxor had a property interest in its
license as a clinical laboratory and as a sperm bank. Daxor has made a motion
to re-argue this matter which is presently tended before the Court of Appeals.
The Blood Bank and Sperm Bank have not taken any new depositors since this
decision.

         2. State v. Idant and Daxor (Third Department)

            In this matter asking the Third Department to review their decision
of Administrative Law Judge Brandes regarding certain alleged violations, the
Sperm Bank, the Third Department refused to make a decision stating that
because of the Court of Appeals' ruling this action would be moot. A motion for
reconsideration is presently before the Third Department stating the various
reasons why this action is not moot.

         3. Daxor v. State

            In this declaratory judgement action in which Daxor requested the
New York State Supreme Court to find the sperm banking regulation
unconstitutional. Justice Abdu-Salaam has decided that this action be more
properly decided by the Third Department. No action has yet been taken because
no Order with Notice of Entry had been served upon the parties.

                                       6

         4. Pollinger v. Daxor


            This action which arises out of the alleged negligence of Daxor,
apparently has been abandoned by the Plaintiffs. Daxor has a counteraction for
attempted extortion.

         5. Yaker v. Department of Health New York/ Supreme Court Justice
            Stuart Cohen

         This is a class action suit against the Department of Health. This
action is still pending. The action by Judge Cohen protects the stored frozen
blood and semen of Daxor's clients.

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

ITEM 2.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Six months ended June 30, 1997 as compared with six months ended June 30, 1996.

         For the six months ended June 30, 1997, total revenues were $1,572,045
up slightly from $1,458,856 in 1996. Operating revenues were $295,015 in 1997
and down from 431,565 in 1996. Dividend income was $1,070,612 with a net
interest expense of (48,561) as compared to dividend income of $1,042,892 with
a net interest income of ($25,292) in 1996. In 1997, the Company had a net
profit of $362,737 before income taxes versus a net loss of $112,668 before
taxes in 1996. Operating revenues have been sharply decreased because of legal
actions against Idant Laboratory Semen and Blood Banking facilities here in New
York State. The Company has not yet received any income from the Blood Volume
Analyzer which is currently undergoing an FDA approval process. Laboratory
operating revenues have fallen sharply since the licenses of Daxor's Idant
Laboratories division were revoked on August 21, 1995. The laboratories
functioned on a restricted basis, until May 30, 1996. The Company, on May 30,
1996, won a unanimous 5 - 0 Appellate Court decision against the New York State
Health Department ordering the restoration of Daxor's license. This decision
was reversed by the New York State Court of Appeals in June, 1997. Daxors'
revenues have been negatively impacted by this decision. The Court of Appeals
decided that Daxor was not entitled to due process such as a hearing. Unless
reversed this could result in Daxor being unable to provide Blood and Semen
banking in New York State. The Company has been unable to take new clients but
has been able to maintain its current clients. The Company lost a portion of
its client base as a result of the Health Department's actions as well as false
media stories. The Company, on April 26, 1997 received accreditation from the
American Association of Tissue Banks (AATB). The Company became the only sperm
bank organization in New York State to receive this accreditation, and the
sixth within the United States. The Company was preparing a marketing program
to restore its client base. The company has potential recovery of its damages
from a one hundred million dollar Federal RICO/Antitrust suit against members
of the New York Health Department and the New York Blood Center. Two managers
of the New York Blood Center were convicted in August by the Federal Court on
charges of conspiring to tamper with tests to screen blood for the AIDS virus
and other infectious diseases as a way of taking shortcuts. Daxor is attempting
to expidite the taking of depositions from members of the New York Blood Center
for its Antitrust suit against the Center.


         Operations a Daxor Oak Ridge where the Blood Analyzer is being
manufactured, have not contributed to earnings. The Company is awaiting FDA
approval for the Blood Volume Analyzer from the FDA.

Three months ended June 30, 1997 as compared with three months ended June 30, 
1996.

         For the three months ended June 30, 1997 total revenues declined to
$707,435 from $822,860 in the 1996 quarter. In 1997, dividend income was
$525,689 with an interest expense of ($30,079) compared to dividend income of
$529,191 with an interest expense of $6,011 in 1996. The Company had a net
profit of $43,521 before income taxes in 1997 versus a net loss of $14,184
before taxes in the 1996 quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                  At June 30, 1997 the Company had total assets of $35,730,953
and total liabilities of $6,939,741 with shareholders' equity of $28,791,239.
The Company has $ 6,432,311 of net after tax unrealized capital gains on
available-for-sale securities in its portfolio. This amount is included in the
calculation of Total Shareholders' Equity.

                  The Company has a 5 year agreement with Oxford N.M.G., of Oak
Ridge Tennessee to produce the Blood Volume Analyzer. The Company signed a
preliminary agreement with Wellport INC. of Rochester N.Y. to fabricate the
blood volume analyzer kit. The Company has the option of building its own kit
dispensing facility to dispense the radioisotope kits or to utilize the
services of a subcontractor.

                  The Company has adequate resources for the marketing of its
instrument (the Blood Volume Analyzer BVA-100) and the liquid capital to
sustain its blood bank. If the Company were to expand its blood banking
operations on a full scale, nation-wide basis, it would require additional
capital. The Company's financial reserves have played an essential role in
sustaining the company during its legal battles to provide frozen blood banking
services to the public. The Company has sustained a large loss of revenues and
profits as results of the actions taken against it by members of the Health
Department and the Antitrust actions of the New York Blood Center. The Company
cannot predict the outcome of its Federal RICO Antitrust suit against the
Health Department and the New York Blood Center. A court victory has the
potential for recouping the financial damage that the Company has incurred.

ITEM 6(b)  Reports on Form 8-K

         The Company did not file any reports on form 8-K during the first six
months of 1997.
