Note C -- Investment in Joint Venture

On January 17, 1995, Hydron Technologies, Inc. ("HyTech") entered into an
agreement with two other companies to form a joint venture known as
Hydromercial Partners (the "Joint Venture"). Each company has a one-third
interest in the profits and losses of the Joint Venture, which has an initial
term of two (2) years, subject to renewal on an annual basis thereafter upon
unanimous consent of all of the Joint Venture participants. The purpose of the
Joint Venture is to provide and sell HyTech's polymer-based skin care line by
means of a thirty (30) minute commercial ("Infomercial") which the Joint
Venture has produced. On July 19, 1996, as part of the Amended License
Agreement with QVC, the Joint Venture was dissolved (effective May 31, 1996)
and a new partnership was created, known as New Hydromercial Partners
("Partnership"). The Partnership is an equal partnership between HyTech and QVC
to promote Hydron products through an Infomercial. (See Note D)

                               September 30, 1996

Note D - Distribution Agreement

On July 19, 1996, HyTech and QVC amended their existing marketing and
distribution license to provide HyTech with certain retail marketing rights and
to significantly increase the minimum product purchase requirements QVC must
meet, on a bi-annual basis, to maintain its exclusive rights to market Hydron
consumer products through direct response television in North, South and
Central America. The Amended License Agreement will allow QVC to promote Hydron
products in a manner consistent with which it promotes its proprietary brands
and also creates a new, equal partnership between QDirect Ventures, Inc., an
affiliate of QVC, and Hydron Direct, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of HyTech,
to promote Hydron products through an infomercial. This new partnership
replaces the previous Hydromercial Partners Joint Venture. The Amended License
Agreement provides that certain retail marketing rights formerly held by Direct
to Retail (QVC granted these rights to DTR under a separate agreement), revert
back to HyTech and that QVC will no longer pay a royalty on retail sales of
Hydron products to DTR. The retail marketing rights include prestige retail
channels of distribution such as traditional department and specialty stores,
boutique stores and beauty salons, as well as catalog sales. QVC will receive a
commission from HyTech on these sales. Also concurrent with the execution of
the Amended License Agreement, and as part of the overall transaction, HyTech
has granted DTR an option to purchase 1.5 million shares of the company's
common stock at $.01 per share. As a result, HyTech will incurred a one-time
non-cash charge against earnings of approximately $3.145 million in the third
quarter ended September 30, 1996, which had no effect on the company's net
shareholders' equity. Also, QVC has exercised options to purchase 500,000
shares of HyTech's common stock, at $2.50 per share, and paid HyTech $1.25
million. HyTech also granted to QVC an option to purchase an additional 500,000
shares at $2.75 per share. Both QVC and DTR have agreed to standstill
provisions not to purchase additional shares of HyTech's stock without the
company's permission and DTR has given its proxy for its shares to Harvey
Tauman, HyTech's president, for as long as DTR holds them.

Discounting the effect of the expenses associated with the Amended License
Agreement, HyTech would have reported net income of $201,499, or $.01 per
share, and $1,284,368, or $.05 per share, for the three (3) and nine (9) months
ended September 30, 1996, respectively.

Note E - Income Taxes

The tax provisions for the three (3) month and the nine (9) month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 represent the Alternative Minimum Tax due after
utilization of the available net operating loss carryforwards.

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

Business

Hydron Technologies, Inc. ("HyTech") is the owner of a broad range of consumer
and oral health care products using Hydron(R) polymers, a scientifically-proven
moisture attracting ingredient, and also owns a non-prescription drug delivery
system for topically applied pharmaceuticals, which uses the polymer. HyTech
holds U.S. and international patents on the only known means to suspend the
Hydron polymer in a stable emulsion that is cosmetically acceptable for use in
personal care/cosmetic products, creating a new moisturizing technology for the
personal care/cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. HyTech sells specialty
personal care/cosmetic products, and to a lesser extent oral health care
products, most of which are covered by patent, license and royalty agreements.
HyTech has entered into a License Agreement with QVC, Inc., as amended (the
"Amended QVC License Agreement"), which gives the electronic retailer certain
exclusive rights to purchase licensed products from HyTech for sale in the
Western Hemisphere, and a License Agreement with National Patent Development
Corp., which provides that HyTech will generally pay royalties to National
Patent on its sales and receive royalties from National Patent from sales of
certain of that company's products. HyTech is developing other personal
care/cosmetics and oral health care products using Hydron polymers, as well as
products that use Hydron polymer technology as a drug delivery system, which
HyTech intends to market through third parties or its own efforts.

Results of Operations

Net sales for the three (3) months ended September 30, 1996 were $2,003,192, or
20% higher than net sales of $1,672,194 for the corresponding period of the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995"). Net sales for the nine (9)
months ended September 30, 1996 were $7,036,833, or 23% percent higher than net
sales of $5,725,798 for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. These
increases are the result of QVC purchasing patterns, which are affected
primarily by the timing of on-air programming, and do not necessarily mirror
retail sales by QVC to consumers.

As of December 31, 1994, QVC held approximately $1.8 million more of HyTech's
products in inventory, at QVC's cost, than it held in inventory at December 31,
1995. QVC's small inventory position at the beginning of Fiscal 1996
necessitated additional purchases from HyTech for the 17 hours of on-air
programming in the first nine months of Fiscal 1996. However, due to reduced
airtime (23 hours of programming in the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995),
on-air retail sales of HyTech's products by QVC to consumers were lower in the
first nine months of Fiscal 1996 than in the first nine months of Fiscal 1995.
Notwithstanding the reduced airtime, back-end sales (which consist primarily of
reorders) of HyTech's products by QVC to consumers increased over the same
period.

                                 Page 8 of 14


<PAGE>

Results of Operations (continued)

As previously discussed, the Amended License Agreement, which was signed on
July 19, 1996, provides HyTech with certain retail marketing rights to its
Hydron brand product lines, (i.e., traditional department stores, specialty
stores, boutiques and beauty salons), as well as catalog sales. The Amended
License Agreement also permits QVC to maintain its exclusive rights to market
Hydron brand consumer products within North, South and Central America through
direct response television, if QVC purchases certain escalating minimum
quantities of product over a two-year term ending May 31, 1998. In return for
these significantly higher minimum product purchase requirements, HyTech has
decreased the prices at which it sells Hydron brand consumer products to QVC,
which is expected to decrease HyTech's gross profit margin by less than 5%.
Products sold to QVC or its affiliates for resale through infomercials, or
outside the Western Hemisphere, are excluded from the calculation of such
minimum purchase levels. QVC has no obligation to purchase Hydron brand
consumer products except to maintain exclusivity under the Amended License
Agreement, which renews automatically for additional two-year terms as long as
the minimum purchase levels are met. No assurances can be given that QVC will
meet such escalating minimum purchase levels.

Based on discussions with QVC, management expects substantially more airtime in
the final quarter of Fiscal 1996 and in Fiscal 1997 than in comparable periods
of Fiscal 1995 and Fiscal 1996. Management is also currently in discussions
with QVC to increase on-air programming by focusing primarily on new program
formats, line extensions and special promotions. However, no assurances can be
given that QVC will grant HyTech additional on-air selling time; failure to
receive such additional on-air selling time could negatively impact sales.

Substantially all of the sales during the relevant periods were to QVC and its
related entities. Absent the consummation of marketing or distribution
arrangements with third parties other than QVC, the percentage of sales to QVC
and HyTech's dependence upon QVC as a substantial customer will remain
significant.

HyTech's gross profit margin for the three (3) months ended September 30, 1996
decreased six (6) percentage points to 58% from 64% for the corresponding
period of Fiscal 1995. The gross profit margin for the nine (9) months ended
September 30, 1996 decreased five (5) percentage points to 59% from 64%. These
decreases were due primarily to fluctuations in the mix of products sold to QVC
in those periods and to lower prices at which products were sold to QVC under
the Amended License Agreement. In June 1995, HyTech re-packaged eight (8) of
its individual skin care products in a single collection to encourage wider
consumer usage. Management believes that this slightly lower margin item
generally expands potential re-order business, and leads to increased sales of
the individual products at higher margins. This marketing strategy is a
concerted effort by management to further increase the number of consumers
using HyTech's products, as well as to broaden distribution of the complete
Hydron product line. Management believes that once consumers sample a wider
variety of HyTech's products, they are more likely to re-order more of such
products, either as an entire collection, or as individual products at higher
prices.

                                 Page 9 of 14

<PAGE>

Results of Operations (continued)

Research and development ("R&D") expenses reflect HyTech's efforts to identify
new product opportunities, develop and package the products for commercial
sale, perform appropriate efficacy and safety tests, and conduct consumer panel
studies and focus groups. R&D expenses increased 393% to $128,825 in the third
quarter of Fiscal 1996, compared to $26,151 for the same period in Fiscal 1995.
Such expenses for the nine (9) months ended September 30, 1996 increased 161%
to $382,886, compared to $146,704 for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995.
These increases reflect HyTech's continual development of new products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three (3) months ended
September 30, 1996 increased by 32% to $719,919 from $543,763 for the
corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. Such expenses for the nine (9) months
ended September 30, 1996 increased 36% to $1,975,115, compared to $1,448,673
for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. These increases are attributable
to an overall increase in salary requirements, expansion of full-time staff,
including the addition of customer service personnel, increased warehousing
costs and advertising expenses, primarily relating to the production and
distribution of HyTech's newsletter, which was introduced in September 1995.

Distribution Agreement expense of $3,145,305 pertains to costs incurred in
connection with the execution of the Amended License Agreement. In connection
with the execution and delivery of the Amended License Agreement, HyTech
granted DTR an option to purchase 1.5 million shares of the company's common
stock at $.01 per share, resulting in a one-time non-cash charge against
earnings of approximately $3.1 million. This non-cash charge has no effect on
the company's net shareholders equity.

Interest and investment income in the third quarter of Fiscal 1996 increased
21%, to $86,635 from $71,475 for the same period in Fiscal 1995. Such income
for the nine (9) months ended September 30, 1996 decreased 11% to $223,538,
compared to $549,992 for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. The increase
for the three (3) month period is due primarily to higher cash balances, while
the overall decrease for the nine (9) month period is due primarily to lower
cash balances and lower interest rates. HyTech maintains a conservative
investment strategy, deriving investment income primarily from U.S. Treasury
securities.

Net income for the three (3) months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to a
loss of $2,943,806 from income of $375,808 for the same period in Fiscal 1995.
Net income for the nine (9) months ended September 30, 1996 decreased to a loss
of $1,860,937, compared to income of $1,780,473 for the corresponding period of
Fiscal 1995. Such changes are due primarily to the Distribution Agreement
Expense and to the other factors discussed above.

Discounting the effect of the expenses associated with the Amended License
Agreement, HyTech would have reported net income for the three (3) months ended
September 30, 1996 of $201,499, or $.01 per share, and net income of
$1,284,368, or $.05 per share, for the nine (9) months ended September 30,
1996.

Results of Operations (continued)

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          (Forward Looking Statement)

Based upon proposed increases in air time and if QVC makes the minimum
purchases necessary to maintain its exclusive rights, management believes that
HyTech will have record sales and earnings for Fiscal 1997. This assumes,
however, that QVC makes its purchases on a pro rata basis over the annual term
of the Amended License Agreement. Further, no obligation exists for QVC to
promote or purchase product, and no assurances can be given that QVC will meet
escalating minimum purchase levels for subsequent years in order to maintain
exclusive rights.

                       (End of Forward Looking Statement)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Liquidity and Financial Resources

HyTech's overall financial condition remains strong as reflected in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at September 30, 1996 compared to
December 31, 1995. At September 30, 1996, working capital increased by $1
million from December 31, 1995, due primarily to cash flow from operations of
$2.8 million for the period, offset by the payment of quarterly dividends
totaling $1.7 million.

HyTech's cash flow from operations of $2.8 million was a direct result of its
marketing efforts with QVC. The Amended License Agreement provides that QVC
purchase products directly from HyTech for resale to consumers, and that HyTech
receive payment from QVC thirty days after QVC's receipt of such goods.

HyTech paid regular quarterly cash dividends of two and one-half cents ($0.025)
per share on March 29, 1996, June 25, 1996 and September 30, 1996 to
shareholders of record on March 15, 1996, June 14, 1996 and September 16, 1996,
respectively.

Also in connection with the execution of the Amended QVC License Agreement, QVC
exercised options to purchase 500,000 shares of HyTech's common stock, at $2.50
per share, and paid HyTech $1.25 million. HyTech also granted to QVC an option
to purchase an additional 500,000 shares at $2.75 per share.

Based on HyTech's present cash position, absence of any short- or long-term
debt, third-party contractual approach to manufacturing and R&D, and present
business strategy, management believes that HyTech has adequate resources to
meet normal, recurring obligations as they become due. Further, in view of the
thirty (30) day payment terms in connection with sales to QVC, management does
not anticipate any difficulty in financing foreseeable inventory requirements.

Liquidity and Financial Resources (continued)

Management is currently reviewing various methods of marketing Hydron brand
products via traditional retail distribution. Although management has not made
any substantial commitments with respect to traditional domestic retail
marketing, HyTech has entered into a distribution agreement with an Australian
based health and beauty products distributor for Australia and New Zealand,
whereby HyTech's products are to be marketed for the first time at traditional
retail outlets. The agreement is subject to certain minimum escalating
purchases, and reserves to HyTech electronic marketing rights in the
territories. In addition, management is presently working on its first full
color catalog, called a "magalog," a catalog combined with a magazine flavor
reflecting real life customer experiences. Management believes that the initial
mailing of its premier edition will be mailed before November 30, 1996.

Management recognizes that HyTech does not have the financial resources to
sustain a major national advertising campaign to market its products. In view
of the foregoing, management has obtained with QVC and Hydromercial Partners,
and continues to seek internationally, marketing, licensing and distribution
agreements with third parties that have greater financial resources and that
can enhance HyTech's product introductions with appropriate national marketing
support programs.

The effect of inflation has not been significant upon either the operations or
financial condition of HyTech.
