(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 six months ended June
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.

=========== ===========
(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 and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been
the same as the reported primary net income per share. The impact of
SFAS 128 on the calculation of diluted net income per share for these
quarters does not materially differ from basic net 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.

Subsequent Event
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.
upon the cash payment of $1,894,000. The acquisition will be accounted
for as a purchase. In addition to the cash payment, the total purchase
price will include consulting, legal, accounting and other acquisition
costs. The purchase price will be allocated to the fair market value of
the assets and liabilities acquired. Any remaining portion will be
allocated to goodwill and amortized over a ten year period.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition.
Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Total revenue increased 20.9%, or $805,000, to $4,649,000 for
the three months ended June 30, 1997 from $3,844,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was the result of an increase in product sales of
13.5%, or $287,000, to $2,417,000 from $2,130,000 and an increase in
specialty laboratory services of 30.2%, or $518,000, to $2,232,000 from
$1,714,000. Product revenue increased primarily as a result of continued
strong sales of new and existing Accurun( run controls and TQS products,
but was partially offset by lower than expected sales to diagnostic test
kit manufacturers. The increase in service revenue was primarily
attributable to a 45.7% increase in Specialty Clinical Laboratory
Testing revenue, driven once again by HIV molecular (PCR) tests needed
for disease management programs.
Gross profit increased 18.5%, or $300,000, to $1,921,000 for the
current three months from $1,621,000 in the prior year period. The gross
profit margin decreased to 41.3% for the current three months versus
42.2% in the prior year period. This decrease was primarily driven by a
shift in the mix of revenue towards services (48% of total revenue in
the current quarter versus 45% in the prior year period) as a result of
the growth in Specialty Clinical Laboratory Testing noted above. The
Company's services generally carry lower margins than its Quality
Control Products.
Research and development expenses increased 31.8%, or $62,000,
to $257,000 for the current three months from $195,000 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(, as well as continued work on additional molecular tests
for our Specialty Clinical Laboratory.
Selling and marketing expenses increased 55.0%, or $275,000, to
$776,000 for the current three months from $500,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was primarily attributable to increased personnel
costs associated with the addition of field staff for Accurun( and the
Specialty Clinical Laboratory, increased spending for promotional
materials, and increased travel costs.
General and administrative expenses increased 25.9%, or
$143,000, to $695,000 for the current three months from $552,000 in the
prior year period. 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 $99,000 was earned for the three months
of 1997 versus a ($75,000) 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%.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
Total revenue increased 27.9%, or $1,930,000, to $8,858,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $6,928,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was the result of an increase in product sales of
15.2%, or $598,000, to $4,544,000 from $3,946,000 and an increase in
specialty laboratory services of 44.6%, or $1,331,000, to $4,314,000
from $2,983,000. Product revenue increased primarily as a result of an
overall sales increase of 24.4% in Quality Control Products, due to
continued strong sales of new and existing Accurun( and panel products
and partially offset by a decrease of 13.8% in sales of Diagnostic
Components. The increase in service revenue was primarily attributable
to a 57.1% increase in Specialty Clinical Laboratory Testing revenue,
particularly from HIV molecular (PCR) tests.
Gross profit increased 34.7%, or $927,000, to $3,599,000 for the
current six months from $2,672,000 in the prior year period. The gross
profit margin increased to 40.6% for the current six months versus 38.6%
in the prior year period. The gross margin improvement was almost
entirely driven by improved margins in services (24.6% in 1996 to 32.0%
in 1997) as the Company continued to benefit from both the addition of
several new tests and higher volume in Specialty Clinical Laboratory
Testing.
7
Research and development expenses increased 36.5%, or $132,000,
to $494,000 for the current six months from $362,000 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(, as well as continued work on additional molecular tests
for our Specialty Clinical Laboratory.
Selling and marketing expenses increased 51.8%, or $474,000, to
$1,389,000 for the current six months from $915,000 in the prior year
period. This increase was primarily 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(
and the Specialty Clinical Laboratory.
General and administrative expenses increased 26.2%, or
$286,000, to $1,374,000 for the current six months from $1,088,000 in
the prior year period. 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 $197,000 was earned for the six months of
1997 versus a ($168,000) 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 provided by operations for the six months ended June
30, 1997 was $89,000 as compared to $685,000 in the prior year period.
This decrease in cash flow was primarily attributable to increased
working capital requirements related to new product inventory and
payments of income taxes and commissions.
Cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June
30, 1997 was $2,482,000 as compared to $283,000 in the prior year
period. This increase in investing activities was the result of: 1)
increased capital expenditures for improvements at its Massachusetts
manufacturing facility, 2) financing $800,000 of certain working capital
needs in connection with the acquisition of the assets and business of
Source Scientific, Inc.("Source"), 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 $1.9 million 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 expects to amortize goodwill approximating the
purchase price plus acquisition costs over a ten year period.
Cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended
June 30, 1997 was $87,000 as compared to $403,000 used 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 debt
repayments of approximately $1,364,000. The net cash provided in 1997
resulted from $94,000 received for the exercise of 48,750 stock options.
The Company anticipates capital expenditures to increase over
the near term as it expects to spend approximately $400,000 more to
expand its manufacturing capacity in West Bridgewater over the next six
months. In addition, the Company has entered into a ten year lease
agreement for space for its Maryland operation and expects to incur
costs for tenant improvements over the next six 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 June 30, 1997, and currently
there are no
8
material commitments for capital or investment expenditures other than
the Source Scientific, Inc. asset acquisition, 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 and six months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 would have been
the same as the reported primary net income per share. The impact of
SFAS 128 on the calculation of diluted net income per share for these
quarters does not materially differ from basic net 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.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking
statements concerning the Company's financial performance and business
operations. The Company wishes to caution readers of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q that actual results might differ materially from
those projected in any forward-looking statements.
Factors which might cause actual results to differ materially
from those projected in the forward-looking statements contained herein
include the following: inability of the Company to develop the end user
market for quality control products; inability of the Company to
integrate the business of BBI-Source Scientific, Inc. into the Company's
business; 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 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.
