SeraCare, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Statement of information furnished

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position of SeraCare, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2001, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 2001 and 2000. These results have been determined on the basis of generally accepted accounting principles and practices applied consistently with those used in the preparation of the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2001.

The results of operations for the three month period ended May 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other period or for the entire current fiscal year.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in accordance with the rules to Form 10-Q. The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2001, which is included herein by this reference.

2. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share amounts for the three months ended May 31, 2001 and 2000 have been calculated based upon the weighted average number of shares actually outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share for the same three-month periods were calculated by considering common stock options, purchase warrants and convertible debt instruments which are deemed common stock equivalents in such calculation.

3. Deferred income

The Company receives cash advances from customers. The revenue related to these advance payments has been deferred until actual shipment of the plasma.

4. Income Taxes

The difference between the reported tax provision and the statutory rate applied to the pre-tax income for the three months ended May 31, 2001 is primarily the result of the expected realization of deferred tax assets relating to the utilization of certain loss carryforwards and the application of available loss carryforwards in the calculation of an effective tax rate which was based upon annualizing the financial results for the quarter.

5. Cash in escrow

In conjunction with the sale of CTI's operating assets, $1,675,000 was held in escrow as of May 31, 2000 pursuant to an adjustment provision in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Such amount was released to the Company in March 2001.

6. Basic earnings per share calculation

Basic earnings per share have been calculated for the current period by deducting preferred dividends of $56,250 from net income of $739,123 to determine net income available to common

shareholders of $682,873. Basic earnings per share have been calculated for the prior year period by deducting preferred dividends of $56,250 from net income of $284,478 to determine net income available to common shareholders of $228,228.

7. Revolving Line of Credit

In April 2001, the Company obtained a new credit facility for $20 million with Sanwa Bank of California. Draws under the line of credit are limited to (a) 85% of qualifying accounts receivable plus (b) the lesser of 45% of qualifying inventory or $10,000,000. Interest accrues at LIBOR plus 2¹/2 percent or the bank's Reference Rate plus ¹/2 percent, depending upon which option is chosen at each date an amount is drawn under the line of credit. The line of credit matures on January 31, 2003 and is secured by all the assets of the Company. The line of credit agreement contains various covenants relating to: maintaining minimum tangible net worth, leverage ratio, net profit and fixed charge coverage ratio and restrictions on additional indebtedness, mergers, acquisitions, and dividends.

8. Litigation

There are no material pending legal proceedings, other than routine litigation occurring in the normal course of the Company's operations, to which the Company is a party or of which any of its property is subject.

9. Segment Information

The Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, Disclosure about segments of an Enterprise and related Information" ("SFAS No. 131"), requires the reporting of information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information in interim financial reports.

10. Subsequent Events

On June 11, 2001, SeraCare issued a press release announcing that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Agreement") by and amoung Instituto Grifols, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Spain (the "Purchaser") and SI Merger Corp, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser ("Sub"), pursuant to which Sub will merge with and into SeraCare and SeraCare will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser. In addition, certain stockholders of SeraCare have entered into a Primary Voting Agreement and a Secondary Voting Agreement to vote in favor of the merger, the adoption of the Agreement and all other actions necessary to consummate the merger. The merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including among other things, the approval of SeraCare stockholders and consummation of financing for the transaction.

Immediately prior to the closing of the merger, SeraCare intends to distribute all of the outstanding shares of its life sciences business, conducted principally through SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (formerly known as The Western States Group, Inc.), ratably (1-for -1 basis) to SeraCare stockholders in a taxable spin-off transaction. Following the spin-off, SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. will operate as an independent, publicly-traded company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in this report (including without limitation, statements indicating that the Company "expects," "estimates," "anticipates," or "believes" and all other statements concerning future financial results, product offerings or other events that have not yet occurred) are forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown factors, risks and uncertainties which may cause the Company's actual results in future periods to differ materially from forecasted results. Those factors, risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to: the positioning of the Company's products in the Company's market segment; the Company's ability to effectively manage its various businesses in a rapidly changing environment; new competition for donors and customers; the inability of the Company to obtain FDA approval of newly established centers; and the introduction of synthetic products which could eliminate the need for plasma products.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended May 31, 2001 as compared to Three Months Ended May 31, 2000

REVENUE

Net revenue of the Company increased by 43%, or $5,495,534 to $18,379,589 during the current year period. This increase was primarily the result of higher revenue relating to the plasma collection operations due to an increase in shipments to the Company's primary customer and the November 2000 acquisition of six plasma centers which provided $1.8 million of the increase. Plasma collections for the current quarter were up 54 percent from the year earlier period and were up seven percent from the fourth quarter.

GROSS PROFIT

Gross profit increased by $1,589,000 or 54 percent in the current year period to $4,551,253 mainly due to the increased volume of plasma collected and shipped. Also contributing was an increase in the gross profit from sales of plasma products due to a favorable product mix.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses in the current quarter increased by $423,685 to $2,052,155, an increase of 26%. A significant portion of the increase was the result of higher legal and professional fees. Also contributing was the increased cost of compliance and quality control related to the plasma collection operations and a significant increase in salaries and expenses in support of the distribution operations due to a sales and marketing restructuring.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Interest expense during the current period increased by $420,264 to $1,433,636. Non-cash interest increased by $412,005 due to: the amortization of anti-dilution warrants issued in March 2001 pursuant to the loan agreements associated with the February 1998 subordinated debenture issue; the amortization of warrants issuant in conjunction with certain notes; and, the re-measurement of certain warrants issued in conjunction with the Quest Diagnostics Collaboration agreement. Total non-cash interest for the current year period was $684,979 compared to $272,974 for the year earlier period.

INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAX EXPENSE

As a result of the above, income before income tax expense increased by $789,128 or 236 percent to $1,123,890

NET INCOME

As a result of the above, net income for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $739,123 compared to $284,478 for the same prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of May 31, 2001 the Company's current assets exceeded current liabilities by $12,079,867 compared to $11,632,912 as of February 28, 2001, which translates into a current ratio as of May 31, 2001 of 1.45 to 1 compared to 1.39 to 1 as of February 28, 2001. Total liabilities as of May 31, 2001 were $39,249,823 compared to $42,501,132 as of February 28, 2001. The total debt to equity ratio as of May 31, 2001 was 1.04 compared to 1.3 as of February 28, 2001.

Net cash used in operating activities during the three-month period ended May 31, 2001 was $2,523,089 compared to $4,986,352 during the same prior year period. The current year quarter results were due primarily to an increase in inventory related to the 54% increase in plasma collections and the timing of shipments and to a lesser degree a decrease in accounts payable; partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable and net income.

Cash flows provided by investing activities for the three months ended May 31, 2001 was $1,429,292 compared to $3,631,672 for the comparable prior year period. Both period results were primarily the result of the release of funds from escrow accounts related to the sale of CTI.

Cash flow used by financing activities was $107,511 for the current year period compared to cash flow generated of $666,601 for the comparable period in the prior year. The current quarter decrease was mostly due to repayment of certain notes and bridge loans, mostly offset by advances under the Companies revolving line of credit.

relating to: maintaining minimum tangible net worth, leverage ratio, net profit and fixed charge coverage ratio and restrictions on additional indebtedness, mergers, acquisitions, and dividends.

Much of fiscal year 2001 was spent strengthening the structure which the Company believes is necessary in order to insure long-term success in this highly regulated industry. Primarily as a result of this focus on quality control and compliance, the Company experienced an improved series of audit results. Additionally, the 54% increase in the volume of plasma collected during the current year quarter versus the same prior year period would indicate that the programs and incentives that were re-established during the prior year are having a very positive effect on collection volumes. In addition, the manufacturing operations established to provide bulk plasma based products and serums for diagnostic customers has reached capacity and the Company is in the process of expanding both the manufacturing capacity and the variety of products which can be manufactured.

The Company believes that industry wide, plasma pricing and plasma products demand will continue to strengthen if the evolving shortage of plasma and the expansion of the uses and demand for plasma based products continues. The Company continues to believe that demand for plasma and plasma products will continue to accelerate through the current calendar year and has accordingly established itself in a strong growth posture and the Company continues to focus on growth in the volume of plasma collected in order to capitalize on expected market conditions. The Company continues to expand its distribution operations into the diagnostics industry. While the Company believes that the long-term prognosis is for improving plasma process which will ultimately exceed the increased cost of collecting plasma, there can be no guarantee that internally generated cash flow and the Company's $20 million credit facility will be sufficient to meet the Company's working capital requirements for fiscal 2002. As of May 31, 2001, the Company had a balance due under its revolving credit facility of $18.7 million. As of the date of this filing, the Company was in full compliance with all of its debt covenants. The Company's current revolving credit facility has variable interest rates which fluctuate with established market rates. The Company does not believe that such fluctuations will have a material adverse affect on the Company's operations.
