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

OVERVIEW

         Ostex International, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the discovery
and commercialization of products associated with osteoporosis and other
collagen-related diseases. The Company's lead product, the OSTEOMARK-registered
trademark- NTx test, incorporates breakthrough and patented technology in the
area of bone resorption measurement. Ostex has formed collaborative
relationships with leading reference laboratories and pharmaceutical companies
to aid in the commercialization of Osteomark.

         This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations includes a number of forward-looking statements which
reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial
performance. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, including those discussed below, that could cause actual results
to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated. Words used
herein such as "believes," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the
exclusive means of identifying such statements. In addition, the disclosures on
page 19 under the caption "Other Factors that May Affect Operating Results,"
consist principally of a brief discussion of risks which may affect future
results and are thus, in their entirety, forward-looking in nature. Readers are
urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the
Company in this report and in the Company's other reports filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), including the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, that attempt to
advise interested parties of the risks and factors that may affect the Company's
business.

         On May 8, 1995, the Osteomark NTx Urine test first became commercially
available in the United States as a urinary test that provides a quantitative
measure of the excretion of cross-linked N-telopeptides of type I collagen
("NTx") as an indicator of human bone resorption. Prior to becoming commercially
available, the Osteomark NTx Urine test was available in the United States only
for research purposes. On February 2, 1999, the Company received clearance to
market the Osteomark NTx Serum test in the United States. Osteomark NTx Serum is
the first and only commercially available test in the United States that
measures specific bone breakdown by osteoclasts using a blood sample.

         The Company's revenues have consisted primarily of product sales and
fees for research testing services, as well as licensing fees and research and
development payments from Mochida Pharmaceutical, Co., Ltd. ("Mochida"). Mochida
has agreed to pay Ostex up to approximately $6,600,000 in a combination of
licensing fees and research and development milestone payments, of which
$5,850,000 has been received to date. Under the research and development
agreement, Mochida has an option to license the NTx Serum test. Future payments
totaling $750,000 are contingent upon Mochida's decision to exercise its option
to license the NTx Serum test and achievement of certain milestones.

         Expenses incurred have been primarily for production, selling,
administrative, and research and development activities and have exceeded
revenues in each year since the Company's inception. As of December 31, 1999,
the Company had an accumulated deficit of $33,793,000. Successful future
operations depend upon the Company's ability to effectively commercialize and
market its products. The Company will require a substantial amount of additional
funds to develop new products and to fund the level of selling, general and
administrative expenses that the Company expects to incur in connection with its
product commercialization efforts in the next several years.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999, 1998 AND 1997. The Company had total revenues of
$4,732,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared to $3,047,000 and
$4,108,000 for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         Revenue from product sales and research testing services for the year
ended December 31, 1999 was $4,732,000, compared to $3,047,000 and $3,658,000 in
the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The increase of
$1,685,000 in 1999 compared to 1998 revenue is attributable to higher volumes of
Osteomark urine kits and the introduction of the Osteomark serum kit, both of
which are sold to laboratories, pharmaceutical companies and distributors
worldwide. Lower urine kit volume and reduction

<PAGE>

in duplicate testing of patient samples for some customers resulted in a
$611,000 decrease in 1998 revenue compared to 1997.

         No license fees and research and development payments were received
during 1999 nor in 1998. In 1997, $450,000 in net license fees and research and
development payments were received from Mochida. The decreases in 1999 and 1998
were expected and are due to prior years attainment of scheduled milestones.

         The Company's cost of products sold totaled $1,130,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1999, compared to $814,000 and $899,000 for the same periods
in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The gross margin rate on product sales for the
year ended 1999 was 76%, compared to 73% for 1998 and 75% for 1997. The increase
in gross margin rate from 1998 to 1999 was due to higher manufacturing volume
and a slight increase in the average sales price per kit. The slight decrease
from 1997 to 1998 was a function of decreased manufacturing volume. Increased
manufacturing volume reduces unit cost by spreading certain fixed overhead
expenses over a higher number of units produced.

         The Company's research and development expenditures totaled $1,734,000,
$2,901,000, and $4,470,000, in 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The
$1,167,000 decrease from 1998 to 1999 was primarily attributable to the
Company's restructuring plan implemented in December 1998. Research and
development expenses also decreased in 1998 over 1997 due to the cost of certain
clinical studies that occurred during 1997 and the reduction in funding to
outside companies associated with the NTx point-of-care development program.
Included in 1997 was a study for the determination of the NTx reference range in
males, a study to complement physician interpretation of NTx results in
postmenopausal women, and preliminary studies for the use of the Osteomark test
in helping to identify bone metastases. Additionally, research and development
expenditures include research grants to the University of Washington; however
these grants have decreased year after year for 1997, 1998 and 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $3,831,000,
$8,122,000, and $8,031,000, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The $4,291,000
decrease in expenses from 1998 to 1999 was driven primarily by the Company's
December 1998 restructuring plan and reductions in both litigation and marketing
related activities. The slight increase from 1997 to 1998 was due to the
implementation of expanded and new marketing programs including direct mail and
advertising activities and the Company's physician education program.

         Proceeds from legal settlement resulted from the receipt of a
non-recurring lump sum payment of $6,200,000 from Boehringer Mannheim GmbH
("Boehringer Mannheim") in October 1997. The settlement between the two parties
was the result of a ruling by the American Arbitration Association awarding
damages to the Company in connection with a dispute between the Company and
Boehringer Mannheim.

         Interest income totaled $421,000, $747,000, and $901,000 for the years
ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997, respectively. The decreases in 1999 and
1998 were primarily due to lower average invested balances resulting from using
cash to fund the Company's operating losses.

         At December 31, 1999, the Company had tax net operating loss
carryforwards of $38,100,000, which will begin to expire in 2004. Income taxes
are provided in the Statements of Operations as required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting For Income Taxes" ("SFAS No.
109"). Under SFAS No. 109, deferred taxes are determined using an asset and
liability approach. The Company has determined that the tax assets do not
satisfy the recognition criteria set forth in SFAS No. 109. Accordingly, a
valuation adjustment has been recorded against the applicable deferred tax
assets, and therefore no tax benefit has been recorded.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of December 31, 1999 the Company had $8,400,000 in cash and cash
equivalents and short-term investments, working capital of $9,205,000 and total
shareholders' equity of $11,709,000. During 1999, cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments decreased by $2,579,000, working capital decreased by
$1,419,000 and shareholders' equity decreased by $1,779,000. The decreases were
primarily the result of the net loss incurred during 1999.

         The Company used $1,951,000 of cash for operating activities in 1999
and $76,000 for the purchase of laboratory, manufacturing and office equipment.
During 1999, the Company repurchased on the open market 245,000 shares of common
stock at a total cost of $286,000. In 1996, the Company entered into a note
agreement that provides up to $1,500,000 for expansion of manufacturing and
administrative facilities and has borrowed $746,000 against the note. The note
is repayable in 48 equal

<PAGE>


monthly installments of principal and interest of $20,000. As of December 31,
1999, outstanding borrowings under this agreement were $115,000.

         The Company's future capital requirements depend upon many factors,
including the effectiveness of Osteomark NTx Serum and Urine tests
commercialization activities and arrangements; continued scientific progress in
its research and development programs; the costs involved in filing, prosecuting
and enforcing patent claims; the manufacturing needs for new products; and the
time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals. Additional funds from
equity or debt financing may be required. There can be no assurance that such
additional funds will be available on favorable terms, if at all. Because of the
Company's significant long-term cash requirements, it may seek to raise
additional capital if conditions in the public equity markets are favorable or
through private placements, even if the Company does not have an immediate need
for additional cash at that time. If additional financing is not available, the
Company believes that its existing available cash, its future license and
research revenues from existing collaboration agreements, its current level of
product sales and interest income from short-term investments will be adequate
to fund operations into the foreseeable future.

OTHER FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS

         The Company's operating results may fluctuate due to a number of
factors including, but not limited to, volume and timing of product sales,
pricing, market acceptance of the Company's products, changing economic
conditions in the healthcare industry, activities of competitors, delays and
increased costs of product and technology development, the Company's ability to
develop and maintain collaborative arrangements, the outcome of litigation, and
the effect of the Company's accounting policies and other risk factors detailed
in the Company's 1999 Form 10-K and other SEC filings. All of the foregoing
factors are difficult for the Company to predict and can materially adversely
affect the Company's business and operating results.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1

ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ORGANIZATION

Ostex International, Inc. (the "Company"), a Washington corporation incorporated
in May 1989, is engaged in the discovery and commercialization of products
associated with osteoporosis and other collagen-related diseases. The Company's
lead product, the Osteomark NTx test, incorporates breakthrough and patented
technology in the area of bone resorption measurement. The Company markets the
Osteomark NTx Serum and Urine tests through distributors and medical
laboratories.

ESTIMATES 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Product sales are recognized upon shipment. Research testing fees are recognized
when the services are substantially complete. License fees and research and
development payments are recognized upon attainment of the agreed upon
milestones.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount
approximates fair value due to the short maturities of these investments.

SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

The Company considers all of its short-term investments to be "available for
sale," reporting them at fair market value with unrealized gains and losses
included as a component of comprehensive income (loss) in shareholders' equity.
Realized gains and losses and declines in value of securities judged to be other
than temporary are included in interest income. Contractual maturities range
from one to 35 years.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Trade receivables potentially subject the Company to credit risk. The Company
extends credit to its customers based upon an evaluation of the customer's
financial condition and credit history and generally does not require
collateral. The Company historically has incurred minimal credit losses.

The Company's customers includes research and clinical laboratories and other
companies, of which one customer accounted for approximately 14%, 16% and 22% of
total revenues for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

INVENTORY

Inventory consists principally of raw materials and finished goods. Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.

<PAGE>


PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the shorter of their useful lives or the lease
term. Estimated lives range from five to ten years. Depreciation expense charged
to operations during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $553,000, $685,000 and $614,000,
respectively.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income," which establishes standards for reporting and
disclosure of comprehensive income (loss). Disclosure has been made for all
years presented in the statements of shareholders' equity.

NOTE 2

NOTE 4

OTHER ASSETS

Other assets represent a $599,000 investment in preferred stock of Metrika,
Inc., a privately held, development stage, medical device company. The
investment is recorded in the accompanying financial statements at cost and
represents an ownership interest of less than 5%. The Company periodically
assesses the valuation of this asset based on historical financial data and
future projections. Management currently believes that the asset is not
impaired. However, given the nature of the business, there is a risk that the
investment may become impaired in the future.

NOTE 5

NOTE PAYABLE

In July 1996, the Company borrowed $746,000 under a secured promissory note
agreement. The note is secured by real property and equipment and is payable in
equal monthly installments of principal and interest of approximately $20,000.
The note agreement contains certain financial covenants which require the
reporting of certain financial ratios and other restrictions. As of December 31,
1999, the Company was not in compliance with these covenants. However, the
Company has obtained a waiver from the covenants based upon the relatively low
repayment balance and the Company's strong cash position. Based on the

<PAGE>


existing payment schedule, the loan will be paid in full at the end of June
2000. The interest rate is 12.5% and the note agreement allows the Company to
make additional borrowings, up to a maximum of $1,500,000 for future capital
needs.

NOTE 6

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

STOCK OPTION PLANS

The Company has three stock option plans: the Amended and Restated Stock Option
Plan (the "Old Plan"), the 1994 Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"), both
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, and the
Directors' Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "Directors' Plan"), (collectively
the "Stock Option Plans"). The Old Plan no longer permits additional stock
option grants.

Shares of common stock reserved for issuance to the Company's employees and
directors under the 1994 Plan and the Directors' Plan are 1,750,000 and 350,000,
respectively. Shares available for future grants under the 1994 Plan and the
Directors' Plan at December 31,1999 are 233,543 and 25,000, respectively. These
options generally vest ratably over three to four years. All options granted
under these plans expire upon the earlier of 90 days after termination of
employment or ten years from date of grant. Options are granted with exercise
prices equal to or greater than fair market value.

Information relating to stock options outstanding and stock options exercisable
at December 31, 1999 is as follows:

Options outstanding have weighted average remaining contractual lives of eight

No. 123). Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for stock
options issued at market value on the date of grant. Had compensation

cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based on the fair
value of the options at the grant date for awards in 1999, 1998 and 1997
consistent with the provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net

The fair value of each option grant is established on the date of grant using
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for new grants in 1999: zero dividend yield; expected
volatility of 129%; average risk-free interest rate of 6.0% and expected lives
of five years. Assumptions for options granted in 1998 were: zero dividend
yield; expected volatility of 88%; average risk-free interest rate of 5.0%; and
expected lives of five years. Assumptions for options granted in 1997 were: zero
dividend yield; expected volatility of 85%; average risk-free interest rate of
6.8%; and expected lives of five years. The difference between reported and pro
forma net loss in 1997 was a $42,000 credit to income as the model recognizes
canceled options in the period they occur. The SFAS No. 123 method of accounting
has not been applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, therefore the
resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that to be
expected in future years.

COMMON STOCK WARRANT

During 1999, the Company issued a warrant to an outside consultant for the
purchase of 100,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $2.00, in
exchange for services to be provided to the Company. The warrant vests in
twelve equal monthly installments beginning one month after the grant date,
and expires three years from the grant date. The Company recorded this
warrant in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123 and EITF Issue
96-18, which require that the fair value of the warrant be recognized as
expense, and that the fair value be remeasured at each balance sheet date
(variable accounting). Total expense recognized in 1999 related to this
warrant was approximately $134,000.

LITIGATION

In June 1996, the Company filed an action in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Washington against Osteometer Biotech A/S, a medical
technology company based in Denmark ("Osteometer"), and Diagnostic Systems
Laboratories, Inc. for patent infringement. The Company believes Osteometer's
bone resorption immunoassay incorporates technology which infringes the
Company's patented technology. At the present time management cannot predict the
outcome of the lawsuit but intends to continue to vigorously assert its
position.

On November 19, 1999, Roche Diagnostics ("Roche") filed a lawsuit against the
Company in Belgium seeking to invalidate three of the Company's European patents
as they apply to Belgium. The lawsuit also seeks a declaration that Roche does
not infringe the patents in any European country where Roche markets or plans to
market their Elecsys-(beta)-Crosslaps (Serum)-registered trademark- diagnostic
test. The Company believes that this lawsuit will not lead to an award of
damages against the Company.

NOTE 11

OTHER INCOME - PROCEEDS FROM LEGAL SETTLEMENT

On November 4, 1997, the Company announced settlement with Boehringer Mannheim
GmbH ("Boehringer Mannheim") under which the Company received a lump sum payment
of $6,200,000. The settlement between the two parties was the result of a ruling
by the American Arbitration Association awarding damages to the Company in
connection with a dispute between the Company and Boehringer Mannheim.

NOTE 12

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Deferred taxes are determined using an asset and liability approach. The Company
has incurred operating losses since inception and accordingly has determined
that the net deferred tax assets do not satisfy recognition criteria. Therefore,
a valuation allowance has been recorded against the net deferred tax assets and
no tax benefit has been recorded in the accompanying statement of operations.
The change in the

valuation allowance during 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $478,000, $2,966,000 and
$586,000, respectively. The Company's deferred tax assets (liabilities) are as
