               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)     Basis of Presentation
-----------------------------

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1997. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K filing for the fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996 for Boston Biomedica, Inc. and Subsidiaries
(the "Company" or "Boston Biomedica"). Certain prior years' amounts in
the consolidated financial statements may have been reclassified to
conform to the current year's presentation.

(2)  Inventories 
----------------

	Inventories consisted of the following:

                                              September 30,   December 31,

(3)  Computation of Income Per Share
------------------------------------

    Net income per common share is computed based upon the weighted
average number of common shares and as appropriate, common equivalent
shares (using the treasury stock method) outstanding after certain
adjustments described below. Common equivalent shares consist of common
stock options and warrants outstanding. In accordance with Securities
and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83, all common,
redeemable common, and common equivalent shares issued during the twelve
month period prior to the proposed date of the initial filing of the
Registration Statement have been included in the calculation as if they
were outstanding for all periods prior to the Initial Public Offering
(IPO) using the treasury stock method and an offering price of $8.50 per
share. Fully diluted net income per common share is not presented as it
does not materially differ from primary earnings per share.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share." SFAS 128 establishes a different method of computing net
income per share than is currently required under the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under SFAS No. 128, the
Company will be required to present both basic net income per share and
diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $.06. Basic net
income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
would have been $.13 and $.09 respectively. The Company has not yet
quantified what the impact of SFAS 128 will be on diluted income per
share. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 128 for periods after December
15, 1997 and at that time all historical net income per share data
presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

(4)  Investment in BioSeq, Inc. (BioSeq).
-----------------------------------------

    In April 1997, the Company exercised its option to purchase an
additional 165,000 shares of BioSeq stock at an aggregate cost of
$750,000, thereby increasing its ownership of BioSeq to 19%. The
investment is carried at cost of $1,482,000 and classified as a long
term investment.

(5) Purchase of the net assets of Source Scientific, Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------

    In July 1997, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary
BBI-Source Scientific, Inc., completed the acquisition of all of the
assets, business, and selected liabilities of Source Scientific, Inc.
("Source").  In addition to the cash payment of $1,894,000 to Source,
the total purchase price was $1,994,000 including consulting, legal,
accounting and other acquisition costs, net of cash acquired. The
acquisition is treated as an asset purchase as of July 1, 1997 and the
results of operations have been included since that date. The purchase
price exceeds the fair market value of net assets acquired by
approximately $2,202,000, which is recognized as goodwill and is being
amortized on a straight line basis over fifteen years.

    The following pro forma information combines the consolidated
results of operations of the Company and Source Scientific, Inc. as if
the asset purchase had occurred at the beginning of 1996, after giving
effect to certain adjustments, including amortization of intangible
assets, increased interest expense on the acquisition debt, and related
income tax effects. The pro forma information is shown for comparative
purposes only and does not reflect the synergies expected to result from
the integration of Source's business into the Company's business.

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

Overview

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis reviews the Company's
Results of Operations for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996.  Effective July 1, 1997, the Results of
Operations include the results of the Company's clinical diagnostic
instrument business purchased from Source Scientific, Inc.  This
business and the related assets, with selected liabilities, was acquired
by a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, BBI-Source Scientific, Inc.
("BBI-Source"), established to operate this instrument business.  This
acquisition represents a significant portion of the fluctuations for the
third quarter of revenue and operating expenses, but did not have a
material impact on net income. 

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

    Total revenue increased 52.9%, or $2,125,000, to $6,140,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 from $4,015,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was the result of an increase in product sales of
65.4%, or $1,322,000, to $3,343,000 from $2,021,000 and an increase in
specialty laboratory services of 40.3%, or $804,000, to $2,797,000 from
$1,993,000. Product revenue increased primarily due to the addition of
the results of the Company's subsidiary, BBI-Source, as well as
continued strong sales of Quality Control products  including
Accurun(R) run controls and panels. The increase in service revenue was
primarily attributable to BBI-Source's inclusion in results, continued
strong sales of the Company's Specialty Clinical Laboratory Testing
services, especially the HIV molecular (PCR) test needed for disease
management programs, and additional revenue from several new contracts
at the Company's BBI-Biotech subsidiary.

    Gross profit increased 45%, or $789,000, to $2,541,000 for the
current three months from $1,752,000 in the prior year period. The
overall gross profit margin decreased to 41.4% for the current three
months versus 43.6% in the prior year period. This decrease was
primarily driven by lower margins in BBI-Source's products and services
business, and lower margins in Specialty Clinical Laboratory Testing
services, partially offset by higher margins in the Company's Quality
Control Products. BBI-Source's service margins are expected to improve
as it ramps up its field service activities.

    Research and development expenses increased 123.7%, or $209,000, to
$378,000 for the current three months from $169,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was primarily the result of additional research
project expenditures for new Quality Control Products, including panels
and Accurun(R), continued work on additional molecular tests for the
Company's Specialty Clinical Laboratory, and development expenditures
for BBI-Source's PlateMate(tm)  plate reader instrument.

    Selling and marketing expenses increased 46.7%, or $276,000, to
$870,000 for the current three months from $594,000 in the prior year
period.  In addition to including BBI-Source, this increase was also
attributable to increased personnel costs associated with the addition
of field staff for Accurun(R) and the Specialty Clinical Laboratory,
increased spending for promotional materials, and increased travel
costs. 

    General and administrative expenses increased 46.6%, or $299,000, to
$940,000 for the current three months from $641,000 in the prior year
period.  In addition to the effect of including BBI-Source for the first
time, this increase was also a result of increased MIS and other support
personnel, as well as the increased costs incurred as a public company.  

    Net interest income of $58,000 was earned for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 versus a ($77,000) expense in the prior year period
as the Company repaid most of its debt in the fourth quarter of 1996 and
invested its available cash in short term, investment grade securities.

    For both periods, the Company provided taxes at the combined federal
and state statutory rate of 40%.

                                   7


Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

    Total revenue increased 37.1%, or $4,055,000, to $14,998,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $10,943,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was the result of an increase in product sales of
32.2%, or $1,920,000, to $7,887,000 from $5,967,000 and an increase in
specialty laboratory services of 42.9%, or $2,135,000, to $7,111,000
from $4,976,000. Product revenue increased primarily due to the addition
of BBI-Source for the third quarter as well as increased sales of
Quality Control Products, due to continued strong demand for both new
and existing Accurun(R) and panel products.  The increase in service
revenue was primarily attributable to the addition of BBI-Source,
increases in Specialty Clinical Laboratory Testing revenue, particularly
from HIV molecular (PCR) tests, and additional revenue from several new
contracts at the Company's BBI-Biotech subsidiary.

    Gross profit increased 38.8%, or $1,716,000, to $6,140,000 for the
current nine months from $4,424,000 in the prior year period. The
overall gross profit margin increased to 40.9% for the current nine
months versus 40.4% in the prior year period. The gross margin
improvement was driven by improved margins in services (from 30.3% in
1996 to 33.2% in 1997) as the Company continued to benefit from both the
addition of several new tests and higher volume in Specialty Clinical
Laboratory Testing, as well as improved margins in Quality Control
products.  BBI-Source's lower margins had less of an effect for the nine
months as results were only included for the third quarter.   In
general, the Company expects slightly lower margins from BBI-Source's
products.  BBI-Source's service margins are expected to improve as it
ramps up its field service business. 
 
    Research and development expenses increased 64.3%, or $341,000, to
$872,000 for the current nine months from $531,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was primarily the result of additional research
project expenditures for new Quality Control Products, including panels
and Accurun(R), as well as continued work on additional molecular tests
for our Specialty Clinical Laboratory, and project expenditures for
BBI-Source's PlateMate(tm)  plate reader instrument.

    Selling and marketing expenses increased 49.7%, or $750,000, to
$2,259,000 for the current nine months from $1,509,000 in the prior year
period.  In addition to including BBI-Source, this increase was
attributable to increased personnel costs as well as increased costs for
travel and promotional materials. The increased personnel costs are
associated with the addition of marketing, technical support, and field
sales staff for both Accurun(R) and the Specialty Clinical Laboratory.

    General and administrative expenses increased 33.8%, or $584,000, to 
$2,314,000 for the current nine months from $1,730,000 in the prior year 
period.  In addition to the effect of including BBI-Source for the first 
time, this increase was primarily a result of increased MIS and other 
support personnel, as well as the increased costs incurred as a public company.

    Net interest income of $255,000 was earned for the nine months of
1997 versus a ($245,000) expense in the prior year period as the Company
repaid most of its debt in the fourth quarter of 1996 and invested its
available cash in short term, investment grade securities.

    For both periods, the Company provided taxes at the combined federal
and state statutory rate of 40%.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

    The Company has financed its operations to date through cash flow
from operations, borrowings from banks and sales of equity. With the
repayment of debt from the IPO proceeds, the Company expects its cash
flow and cash position to meet existing operational needs. In addition,
the Company has available to it a $7.5 million uncollateralized
revolving line of credit with its bank should additional needs arise.

    Net cash used for operations for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was ($331,000) as compared to $808,000 provided by operations in
the prior year period. This decrease in cash flow was primarily
attributable to increased working capital requirements for accounts
receivable, new product inventory, and payments of income taxes and
commissions.

                                   8

    Cash used in investing activities for the  nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was ($4,402,000) as compared to ($496,000) in the
prior year period. This increase in investing activities was the result
of: 1) the acquisition of all of the assets, business, and selected
liabilities of Source Scientific, Inc.("Source") for $1,994,000 (see
below);  2) increased capital expenditures for improvements at the
Company's Massachusetts manufacturing facility and new contract research
facility in Maryland; and 3) the Company exercising its option to
purchase an additional 165,000 shares of BioSeq stock at an aggregate
cost of $750,000, thereby increasing its ownership of BioSeq to 19%. On
July 2, 1997, the Company completed the acquisition of Source's assets
and business at a contractually reduced purchase price of $1,994,000
including consulting, legal, accounting and other acquisition costs, net
of cash acquired, as Source's net worth had fallen below an agreed upon
minimum amount. The Company is accounting for the acquisition as an
asset purchase, and is amortizing goodwill of $2,202,000 over a fifteen
year period on a straight line basis.

    Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 was ($962,000) as compared to ($248,000) in the prior
comparable year period. The prior year period use of cash was primarily
a $960,000 receipt from the sale of common stock offset by net debt
repayments of approximately $707,000 and payments for the Company's
planned initial public offering of $503,000. The net cash used in 1997
resulted from repayment of $1,107,000 of BBI-Source's debt, less
proceeds received from issuance of stock options exercised.

    The Company anticipates capital expenditures for building and
leasehold improvements to continue over the near term as it completes
the expansion of its manufacturing capacity in West Bridgewater.  In
addition, the Company has entered into a ten year lease agreement for
space for its Maryland operations and expects to incur costs for tenant
improvements over the next several months. The Company believes that
existing cash balances, the borrowing capacity available under its
revolving line of credit and cash generated from operations are
sufficient to fund operations and anticipated capital expenditures for
at least the next twelve months. There were no material financial
commitments for capital expenditures as of September 30, 1997, and
currently there are no material commitments for capital or investment
expenditures other than the manufacturing expansion and tenant
improvements all as previously discussed above.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
per Share." SFAS 128 establishes a different method of computing net
income per share than is currently required under the provisions of
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 15. Under SFAS No. 128, the
Company will be required to present both basic net income per share and
diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been $.06. Basic net
income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
would have been $.13 and $.09 respectively. The Company has not yet
quantified what the impact of SFAS 128 will be on diluted income per
share. The Company plans to adopt SFAS 128 for periods after December
15, 1997 and at that time all historical net income per share data
presented will be restated to conform to the provisions of SFAS No. 128.

inability of the Company to grow the sales of BBI-Source Scientific,
Inc. to the extent anticipated; a material adverse change in the
business, financial condition or prospects of BioSeq, Inc., an early
stage biotechnology company in which the

                                   9

Company has made a significant investment; inability of the Company to
obtain an adequate supply of the unique and rare specimens of plasma and
serum necessary for certain of its products; significant reductions in
purchases by any of the Company's major customers; and the potential
insufficiency of Company resources, including human resources, plant and
equipment and management systems, to accommodate any future growth.
Certain of these and other factors which might cause actual results to
differ materially from those projected are more fully set forth under
the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's Registration Statement on
Form S-1 (SEC File No. 333-10759).
