NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1. THE COMPANY

OraSure Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") develops, manufactures and markets
oral specimen collection devices using its proprietary oral fluid technologies,
oral fluid assays, proprietary diagnostic products including in vitro diagnostic
tests, and other medical devices. These products are sold to public and
private-sector clients, clinical laboratories, physician offices, hospitals, and
for workplace testing in the United States and certain foreign countries.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION. The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and,
in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal
and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
these interim periods. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000. Results of
operations for the period ended March 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of
the results of operations expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications
have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current
year presentation.

USE OF ESTIMATES. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market determined on
a first-in, first-out basis and are comprised of the following:

MARCH 31, DECEMBER 31,
2001 2000
---------- ----------

Raw materials $ 584,961 $ 473,575
Work-in-process 430,862 348,819
Finished goods 831,550 673,210
---------- ----------
$1,847,373 $1,495,604
========== ==========

REVENUE RECOGNITION. The Company recognizes product revenues when products are
shipped. The Company does not grant price protection or product return rights to
its customers. Up-front licensing fees are deferred and recognized ratably over
the related license period. Product development revenues are recognized over the
period the related product development efforts are performed. Amounts received
prior to the performance of product development efforts are recorded as deferred
revenues.

In December 1999, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" ("SAB
101"). SAB 101 draws on existing accounting rules and provides specific guidance
on revenue recognition of up-front, non-refundable license and development fees.
The Company has applied the provisions of SAB 101 in the accompanying financial
statements.

SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION. In the first quarter of 2001, one customer
accounted for 24 percent of total revenues as compared to 23 percent for the
same quarter of 2000. The Company believes its relationship with this customer
is strong and that the customer will purchase comparable or increasing volumes
of the Company's products for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance,
however, that sales to this customer will not decrease or that this customer
will not choose to replace the Company's products with those of competitors. The
loss of this customer or a significant decrease in the volume of products
purchased by it would have a material adverse effect on the Company.

7
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.  Research and development costs are charged to expense
as incurred.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. Pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation," the assets and
liabilities of the Company's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars
at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and
expenses are translated at average exchange rates for the period. Resulting
translation adjustments are reflected as a separate component of stockholders'
equity.

NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE. The Company has presented basic and diluted net loss
per common share pursuant to SFAS No. 128, "Earnings per Share" ("SFAS 128"),
and the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98. In
accordance with SFAS 128, basic and diluted net loss per common share has been
computed using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during the period. Diluted loss per common share is generally computed assuming
the conversion or exercise of all dilutive securities such as common stock
options and warrants; however, outstanding common stock options and warrants to
purchase 4,596,878 and 5,606,622 shares were excluded from the computation of
diluted net loss per common share for the three month periods ended March 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively, because they were anti-dilutive due to the
Company's losses.

OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS). The Company follows SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income." This statement requires the classification of items of
other comprehensive income (loss) by their nature and disclosure of the
accumulated balance of other comprehensive income (loss), separately from
retained earnings and additional paid-in capital in the equity section of the
balance sheet.

RESTRUCTURING-RELATED EXPENSES. In February, 2001, the Company announced plans
to realign certain of its manufacturing operations. Accordingly, during the
three months ended March 31, 2001, the Company incurred $450,000 in
non-recurring restructuring costs, primarily comprised of expenses for employee
severance, travel and transport resulting from relocating and consolidating
manufacturing operations. As of March 31, 2001, approximately $135,000 of
restructuring costs, which will be paid in the second quarter of 2001, were
included in accrued expenses.


3. SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC AREA INFORMATION

Under the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 131, "Segment Disclosures and
Related Information," the Company operates within one segment, medical devices
and products. The Company's products are sold principally in the United States
and Europe. Operating income and identifiable assets are not included herein
since all of the Company's revenues outside the United States are export sales.

The following table represents total revenues by geographic area (amounts in
thousands):

Total revenue increased 12% to approximately $7.4 million in the first quarter
of 2001 from approximately $6.6 million in the comparable quarter in 2000,
primarily as a result of strong international demand. Excluding revenue in the
prior period for the discontinued Serum Western Blot product line, total revenue
would have increased 18%.

Product revenue increased 6% to approximately $6.9 million for the first quarter
of 2001 from approximately $6.5 million in the first quarter of 2000. Sales of
oral specimen collection devices increased 29% to approximately $3.3 million as
a result of increased sales to the public health market. Histofreezer revenues
decreased 11% to approximately $1.2 million largely as a result of sales
staffing turnover and inventory consolidation at the distributor level in the
U.S. market. OraQuick, which began shipping in December 2000, generated
approximately $234,000 of revenue for the first quarter as a result of market
introduction into sub-Saharan Africa. Intercept generated approximately $470,000
in revenue as a result of strong demand both domestically and internationally.
Immunoassay test sales decreased 5% to approximately $1.7 million in the first
quarter of 2001. During the first quarter of 2000, immunoassay test sales
increased in the life insurance testing market as a result of regulatory changes
in life insurance policy reserve levels. Sales of the Western Blot products
declined 46% to approximately $224,000 for the first quarter as a result of the
discontinuation of the Serum Western Blot product in January 2001. Other
revenues, which consisted primarily of sales of the Q.E.D. saliva alcohol test,
declined 30% to approximately $290,000 as a result of a non-recurring
international Q.E.D. sale to a single client in the first quarter of 2000. As a
percentage of product revenues, international product sales increased to
approximately 18% in the first quarter of 2001 from 11% in 2000 as a result of
increased international sales of the Histofreezer product and oral fluid
collection devices.

</TABLE>


Sales to the insurance testing market declined by 11% to approximately $2.9
million in the first quarter of 2001 as a result of the decreased activity in
the life insurance testing market referred to above and the discontinuation of
the Serum Western Blot product. Sales to the public health market increased 70%
to approximately $1.5 million in the first quarter as a result of increased
penetration by the Company's higher priced public health HIV test kit and the
initial OraQuick shipments to sub-Saharan Africa. Sales to physician offices,
which consisted solely of the Histofreezer cryosurgical system, decreased 11% to
approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2001 as a result of sales
staff turnover and inventory consolidation at the distributor level in the U.S.
market. Sales to the substance abuse testing market increased 44% to
approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2001 as a result of the
market introduction of Intercept and increased forensic toxicology sales.

License and product development revenue increased 289% to approximately $513,000
in the first quarter of 2001 from approximately $132,000 in 2000. This increase
was attributable principally to additional income from the Company's research
agreement with Drager to develop drugs-of-abuse analytes for the UPlink testing
system.

The Company's gross margin increased to 64% in the first quarter of 2001 from
62% in 2000. The increase is the result of improved product mix, negotiated
contract savings, and higher license and product development revenues, partially
offset by the incremental costs associated with the ramp up of OraQuick
manufacturing. Gross margins are anticipated to continue to improve in the
second quarter of 2001 as a result of the Company's manufacturing restructuring.

In February 2001, the Company announced plans to restructure its manufacturing
operations. The Company has since eliminated OraQuick manufacturing in
Beaverton, Oregon and has commenced OraQuick assembly in Thailand. The
restructuring provides greatly expanded capacity for OraQuick production, and is
expected to have no financial impact in 2001.

Research and development expenses increased 26% to approximately $2.2 million in
the first quarter of 2001 from approximately $1.7 million in 2000, as a result
of continued development of the UPlink reader, test cassette and collector, DNA
feasibility studies, the clinical trial expenses for the OraQuick HIV-1/2 rapid
test, and additional Intercept products. Research and development expenses are
expected to increase during 2001 as clinical trials for OraQuick and UPlink
research activities continue.

12
Sales and marketing  expenses increased 33% to approximately $1.9 million in the
first quarter of 2001 from approximately $1.4 million in 2000. This increase was
primarily the result of costs to develop and establish foreign markets for
OraQuick, costs associated with the continued marketing of the Intercept
drugs-of-abuse service, and expanded sales activities for the Company's other
product lines.

General and administrative expenses decreased 22% to approximately $1.5 million
in the first quarter of 2001 from approximately $1.9 million in 2000. This
decrease reflects cost savings from the consolidation of duplicative overhead
structures as a result of the merger of STC Technologies, Inc. and Epitope, Inc.
into the Company. General and administrative expenses, as a percentage of first
quarter revenues, declined to 20% from 29% a year ago.

Restructuring-related expenses were approximately $450,000 in the first quarter
of 2001 as a result of the manufacturing restructuring. These non-recurring
costs primarily included expenses for employee severance, travel and transport
resulting from relocating and consolidating manufacturing operations.

Operating loss increased to approximately $1.2 million in the first quarter
ended March 31, 2001 from approximately $893,000 in 2000 as a result of expenses
associated with the manufacturing restructuring, increased research and
development costs, and increased sales and marketing costs. Excluding the
non-recurring manufacturing restructuring expenses, the operating loss would
have been approximately $782,000 in the first quarter of 2001.

Interest expense decreased by 17% to approximately $106,000 in the first quarter
of 2001 from approximately $128,000 in 2000 as a result of principal loan
repayments.

Interest income increased to approximately $294,000 in the first quarter of 2001
from approximately $228,000 in 2000 as a result of higher cash and cash
equivalents available for investment.

Foreign currency gain was approximately $63,000 in the first quarter of 2001
compared to a gain of approximately $15,000 in 2000.

During the first quarter of 2001, a provision for foreign income taxes of
approximately $16,000 was recorded.

Net loss was approximately $997,000 in the first quarter of 2001 compared to
approximately $834,000 in 2000. Excluding the non-recurring manufacturing
restructuring expenses, the net loss would have been approximately $547,000 in
the first quarter of 2001.

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments position
decreased $3.4 million during the first quarter of 2001 to approximately $16.7
million at March 31, 2001, primarily as a result of the first quarter loss,
increased accounts receivable and inventory levels, and an upgrade of the
Bethlehem manufacturing facility. At March 31, 2001, the Company's working
capital was approximately $20.2 million.

The  combination of the Company's  current cash position,  available  borrowings
under the Company's credit facilities, and the Company's cash flow from
operations is expected to be sufficient to fund the Company's foreseeable
operating and capital needs. However, the Company's cash requirements may vary
materially from those now planned due to many factors, including, but not
limited to, the progress of the Company's research and development programs, the
scope and results of clinical testing, changes in existing and potential
relationships with strategic partners, the time and cost in obtaining regulatory
approvals, the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents, proprietary
rights and any necessary licenses, the ability of the Company to establish
development and commercialization capacities or relationships, the costs of
manufacturing, market acceptance of new products and other factors.

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $2.5 million for the
first quarter of 2001, as a direct result of the first quarter net loss,
increased accounts receivable and inventory levels caused by continued sales
growth, and the payment of certain year-end accruals.

Net cash provided by investing activities during the first quarter of 2001 was
approximately $3.6 million as a result of the sale of securities to fund
short-term cash needs. In addition, the Company also made $721,000 of capital
expenditures, primarily reflecting the Company's investment into the Bethlehem
facility in anticipation of the installation of fully automated lateral flow
manufacturing equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $55,000 during the first
quarter of 2001 as a result of term debt repayments, partially offset by the
proceeds from the issuance of approximately $219,000 of common stock, as a
result of option exercises.

At March 31, 2001, the Company had a $1.0 million working capital line of credit
in place that accrues interest at LIBOR plus 235 basis points and a $1.0 million
equipment line of credit in place that accrues interest at a rate fixed at prime
at the time of draw down. There were no borrowings under these lines of credit
at March 31, 2001. These lending facilities expire June 30, 2001 and are
expected to be renewed.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company does not hold any derivative financial instruments or derivative
commodity instruments, and does not hold material amounts of other financial
instruments. Accordingly, the Company has no material market risk to report
under this Item.

The Company's holdings of financial instruments are comprised of U.S. corporate
debt, certificates of deposit, government securities and commercial paper. All
such instruments are classified as securities available for sale. The Company's
debt security portfolio represents funds held temporarily pending use in its
business and operations. The Company seeks reasonable assuredness of the safety
of principal and market liquidity by investing in rated fixed income securities
while at the same time seeking to achieve a favorable rate of return. Market
risk exposure consists principally of exposure to changes in interest rates. If
changes in interest rates would affect the investments adversely, the Company
continues to hold the security to maturity. The Company's holdings are also
exposed to the risks of changes in the credit quality of issuers. The Company
typically invests in the shorter end of the maturity spectrum.

The Company does not currently have any foreign currency exchange contracts or
purchase currency options to hedge local currency cash flows. The Company has
operations in The Netherlands which are subject to foreign currency
fluctuations. As currency rates change, translation of income statements of
these operations from local currencies to U.S. dollars affects year-to-year
comparability of operating results. The Company's operations in The Netherlands
represented approximately $0.5 million or 6.1% of the Company's revenues for the
three months ended March 31, 2001. Management does not expect the risk of
foreign currency fluctuations to be material.
