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. (See Note
E)

Note D - Income Taxes

The tax provision for the three (3) month and the six (6) month periods ended
June 30, 1996 represents the Alternative Minimum Tax due after utilization of
the available net operating loss carryforwards. There are no tax provisions for
the three (3) month and six (6) month periods ended June 30, 1995 due to the
utilization of net operating loss carryforwards.

Note E - Subsequent Events

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. These 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 incur a one-time non-cash charge against earnings of approximately
$3.0 to $3.4 million in the third quarter ending September 30, 1996, which will
have 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.

On July 24, 1996, HyTech's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash
dividend of $0.025 per share, payable on September 30, 1996 to shareholders of
record on September 16, 1996.

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(Registered) 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/cosmetics products, creating 
a new moisturizing technology for the personal care/cosmetics and 
pharmaceutical industries. HyTech sells specialty personal care/cosmetics 
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 June 30, 1996 were $2,001,660, or 32%
lower than net sales of $2,935,879 for the corresponding period of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995 ("Fiscal 1995"). Net sales for the six (6) months
ended June 30, 1996 were $5,033,641, or 24% percent higher than net sales of
$4,053,604 for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. This decrease and
increase are the result of changes in 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 large inventory position as of the beginning of Fiscal 1995, along
with additional purchases from HyTech, were substantially reduced through retail
sales of HyTech's products by QVC to consumers in the first half of Fiscal 1995,
which included 16 hours of on-air programming promoting HyTech's products. QVC's
small inventory position at the beginning of Fiscal 1996 necessitated additional
purchases from HyTech for the nine (9) hours of on-air programming in the first
half of Fiscal 1996. However, due to reduced airtime, on-air retail sales of
HyTech's products by QVC to consumers were lower in the first half of Fiscal
1996 than in the first half of Fiscal 1995. Notwithstanding the reduced airtime,
back-end sales (which consist primarily of reorders) of HyTech's products by QVC
to consumers increased 11% over the same period.

                               Page 8 of 12
<PAGE>

Results of Operations (continued)

As previously discussed, the Amended QVC License Agreement with QVC, 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) and catalog sales, and significantly higher
minimum product purchase requirements for QVC in order for QVC to maintain its
exclusive rights to market Hydron brand consumer products within North, South
and Central America through direct response television. The Amended License
Agreement permits QVC to maintain its exclusive rights if QVC purchases certain
escalating minimum quantities of product over a two-year term ending May 31,
1998. In return for such increased minimums, HyTech has decreased the prices at
which it sells Hydron brand consumer products to QVC, which is expected to have
a decrease on HyTech's gross profit margin of less than 5%. Products sold to QVC
or its affiliates for resale through infomercials 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
Amendment, which renews automatically for additional two-year terms as long as
the annual minimum purchase levels are met. No assurances can be given that QVC
will meet such escalating minimum purchase levels in order to maintain its
exclusive rights.

Based on discussions with QVC, management expects substantially more airtime in
the second half of Fiscal 1996 than in the first half of 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 June 30, 1996
decreased one (1) percentage point to 61% from 62% for the corresponding period
of Fiscal 1995. The gross profit margin for the six (6) months ended June 30,
1996 decreased four (4) percentage points to 60% from 64%. These decreases were
due primarily to fluctuations in the mix of products sold to QVC in those
periods. 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 12
<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 144% to $122,818 in the second
quarter of Fiscal 1996, compared to $50,342 for the same period in Fiscal 1995.
Such expenses for the six (6) months ended June 30, 1996 increased 111% to
$254,061, compared to $120,553 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 June
30, 1996 increased by 25% to $622,033 from $499,409 for the corresponding period
of Fiscal 1995. Such expenses for the six (6) months ended June 30, 1996
increased 39% to $1,255,196, compared to $904,910 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.

Interest and investment income in the second quarter of Fiscal 1996 decreased
25%, to $73,415 from $97,356 for the same period in Fiscal 1995. Such income for
the six (6) months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 23% to $136,903, compared to
$178,517 for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. These decreases are 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 June 30, 1996 decreased 77%, to
$267,197 from $1,168,470 for the same period in Fiscal 1995. Net income for the
six (6) months ended June 30, 1996 decreased 23% to $1,082,869, compared to
$1,404,665 for the corresponding period of Fiscal 1995. Such changes are due
primarily to the factors discussed above.

In connection with the execution 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. As a result, HyTech will incur a one-time non-cash
charge against earnings of approximately $3.0 to $3.4 million in the third
quarter ending September 30, 1996, which will have no effect on the company's
net shareholders' equity. 

Liquidity and Financial Resources

HyTech's overall financial condition remains strong as reflected in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 1996 compared to December 31,
1995. At June 30, 1996, working capital remained in excess of $9 million, due
primarily to net income of $1,082,869 for the period, offset by a $152,667
investment in Hydromercial Partners and the payment of quarterly dividends
totaling $1,133,070. At August 13, 1996, HyTech had in excess of $7.0 million in
cash and short-term treasury bills.

                               Page 10 of 12
<PAGE>

Liquidity and Financial Resources (continued)

HyTech's cash flow from operations of $2,065,515 was a direct result of its
marketing efforts with QVC. The QVC 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 and June 25, 1996 to shareholders of record on March
15, 1996 and June 14, 1996, respectively. On July 24, 1996, HyTech's Board of
Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.025 per share payable
on September 30, 1996 to shareholders of record on September 16, 1996.

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.

Management is currently reviewing various methods of marketing Hydron brand
products via traditional retail distribution as well as catalog sales, but has
not made any firm commitments in such areas. 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.
