Note A -- Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 of Hydron Technologies, Inc.
("HyTech"), all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1998. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Registrant and Subsidiaries' annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

==============================
Note C -- Investment in Joint Venture
On July 19, 1996, in conjunction with the amendment of a licensing agreement
between HyTech and QVC, Inc. ("QVC"), a partnership ("New Hydromercial
Partners") was formed between HyTech and QVC to assume the activities of a
previous joint venture, which includes the promotion and sale of HyTech's Hydron
polymer-based skin care line by means of a thirty (30) minute commercial
(Infomercial). There were no sales by HyTech to New Hydromercial Partners during
the three months ended March 31, 1998. During the three months ended March 31,
1997, HyTech had sales of approximately $9,000 to New Hydromercial Partners. The
Infomercial, in its original format, will no longer be aired and was not aired
during the three month period ended March 31, 1998. New Hydromercial Partners
continues to market to the existing Infomercial customers through a continuity
program. In April 1998, HyTech and New Hydromercial Partners entered into an
agreement with another company to test market an edited version of the
Infomercial (see Note H).

Note D - Distribution Agreement
HyTech entered into a license agreement with QVC ("QVC License Agreement") in
1993, whereby QVC was granted exclusive rights to market and distribute HyTech's
proprietary consumer products using Hydron polymers in the Western Hemisphere.
In 1996, HyTech and QVC modified the QVC License Agreement ("Amended License
Agreement"), whereby HyTech reacquired certain retail marketing rights to the
Hydron product line. Such retail marketing rights include prestige retail
channels of distribution such as traditional department and speciality stores,
boutique stores and beauty salons, as well as catalog sales. QVC is entitled to
receive a commission from HyTech on any such sales. In addition, the Amended
License Agreement increased the minimum product purchase requirements QVC must
meet, on an annual basis over a two-year term ending May 31, 1998, to maintain
its exclusive rights to market Hydron consumer products through direct response
television in the Western Hemisphere.
On June 11, 1997, HyTech and QVC renegotiated the Amended License Agreement
("Renegotiated License Agreement") pursuant to which the term of the Amended
License Agreement was extended for one year, commencing as of June 1, 1997.
Under the terms of the Renegotiated License Agreement, QVC must meet certain
minimum product purchase requirements during each two-year term of the
agreement, including annual minimum product purchase requirements, to maintain
its exclusive rights. No obligation exists for QVC to purchase HyTech's product,
except to maintain such exclusive rights, and no assurances can be given that
QVC will meet the escalating minimum purchase levels for subsequent years in
order to maintain such exclusive rights. If QVC meets the stipulated minimum
product purchase requirements, then the Renegotiated License Agreement renews
automatically. If QVC does not meet the minimum product purchase requirements,
then HyTech can elect to continue or terminate the Renegotiated License
Agreement. HyTech does not expect QVC to meet the minimum product purchase
requirements for the current term. Accordingly, HyTech can elect to continue or
terminate the Renegotiated License Agreement. HyTech has not decided what
action, if any, it plans to take with respect to such agreement. If the
Renegotiated License Agreement terminates, HyTech may seek other marketing and
distribution arrangements for its products, which may include distribution
arrangements with QVC on a nonexclusive basis. Although management believes that
there are other avenues for selling its products, including the Hydron catalog,
the loss of QVC as a customer would have a material adverse effect on HyTech's
business.

Note E - Income Taxes
The tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 1997 represents the
Alternative Minimum Tax due after utilization of the available net operating
loss carryforwards.
Note F - Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per
share:
Three Months Ended March 31,
1998 1997
----------------------------
Numerator:
Net income (loss) is both the numerator for
basic earnings per share (income
available to common shareholders)
and the numerator for diluted earnings
per share (income available to common
shareholders after assumed conversions) $ (89,419) $ 89,686
============================
Denominator:
Denominator for basic earnings per share
(weighted-average shares) 24,294,816 24,035,643
Effect of dilutive securities: Stock options
and warrants -- 14,429
----------------------------
Denominator for dilutive earnings per
share (adjusted weighted-average) 24,294,816 24,050,072
============================
Basic earnings per share $ (.00) $ .00
============================
Diluted earnings per share $ (.00) $ .00
============================
Options and warrants to purchase 963,500 shares of common stock were outstanding
at March 31, 1998, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings
per share because the effect would be antidilutive to the net loss per share for
the period.

March 31, 1998
Note G - Contingencies
On September 30, 1997, Harvey Tauman, formerly Chairman, Chief Executive
Officer, President and Treasurer of HyTech, whose employment was terminated by
HyTech on September 19, 1997, commenced an action (the "Action") against HyTech
in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial District in and for Palm Beach
County, Florida. In his complaint in the Action, Mr. Tauman alleges that HyTech
breached his employment contract upon the termination of his employment and
seeks damages of not less than $4,000,000, plus interest and costs. Mr. Tauman
also seeks a declaration that his employment was terminated without cause and
that he may continue to exercise his stock options for the duration of their
term notwithstanding the termination of his employment.
On November 4, 1997, HyTech served and filed its answer to the complaint in the
Action and asserted counterclaims against Mr. Tauman seeking various relief
against him including an award of compensatory and punitive damages of not less
than $6,000,000, together with appropriate interest, costs and expenses. In its
counterclaims, HyTech seeks a declaration, among other things, that Mr. Tauman
breached his employment agreement as a result of wrongful and fraudulent
performance of his duties under the contract. Among other allegations, HyTech
contends in its counterclaims that Mr. Tauman improperly caused HyTech to make
payments of personal expenses upon the submission by Mr. Tauman of false expense
reports and receipts, caused HyTech improperly to enter into consulting
agreements with members of his family and with friends without Board approval,
misrepresented to the Board the financial condition of HyTech and its prospects
in order to obtain a grant to himself of bonuses and stock options to which he
would otherwise not have been entitled, caused the submission to the Board of
false projections of HyTech's revenues in order to cause the Board to declare
dividends of which he was a substantial recipient and to approve a share
repurchase plan, caused HyTech to pay for accounting services rendered to him
and to other members of his family, and intentionally breached his fiduciary
duties to HyTech.
Management is unable, at this time, to estimate the likelihood or scope of
liability, if any, it may incur as a result of Mr. Tauman's claims or the
likelihood of success of its counterclaims.

Note H - Subsequent Events
In April 1998, HyTech, New Hydromercial Partners and Guthy-Renker Corporation
("GRC") entered into an agreement, whereby GRC will edit and test market the
30-minute Hydron skincare infomercial previously produced by New Hydromercial
Partners (see Note C). Under the terms of the agreement, HyTech and GRC will
share equally in the cost of re-editing the original infomercial. HyTech shall
be reimbursed for such reediting expenses upon determination of the success of
the test marketing. GRC, at its own expense, will test market the edited
infomercial on regional broadcast and cable networks nationwide for a period of
six to nine months in order to evaluate product sales and re-order rates.
If the test marketing is successful, New Hydromercial Partners will be
reimbursed, by GRC, a portion of the cost of producing the original infomercial.
GRC will then receive an exclusive license to distribute HyTech products in
North America through infomercials, short form commercials, database marketing
(excluding current databases), package inserts, space advertising and credit
card syndication, subject to certain escalating minimum product and media
purchases. GRC will also have non-exclusive rights to sell Hydron products
internationally. GRC is specifically excluded from selling Hydron products
through television shopping channels and mass retail. GRC will purchase certain
products from HyTech to be sold to consumers via television, and will purchase
additional non-televised products on a consignment basis.
Upon completion of successful test marketing, HyTech will grant GRC an option to
purchase up to 100,000 shares of HyTech's common stock at an exercise price
equal to the then current market value. Such option will only be exercisable if
GRC meets certain product and media purchase requirements, at the conclusion of
the first 12-month period following the test market. The option is exercisable
for a period of 5 years. At the conclusion of the first and second year periods,
HyTech will grant GRC options to purchase up to an additional 250,000 and
150,000 shares, respectively, under similar terms and conditions.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Business
Hydron Technologies, Inc. ("HyTech") markets 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 such 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, thereby creating a new moisturizing technology for the
personal care/cosmetic 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. ("QVC"), as amended
(the "Amended QVC License Agreement"), which gives QVC certain exclusive rights
to purchase licensed products from HyTech for sale in the Western Hemisphere. In
addition, HyTech has entered into a license agreement with National Patent
Development Corp. ("National Patent"), which provides for reciprocal royalty
payments based on the sale of certain of each party's products. HyTech is
developing other personal care/cosmetic products for consumers using Hydron
polymers. HyTech also uses its patented technology as a drug delivery system in
proprietary products, in which Hydron polymers act as a drug release mechanism.
HyTech intends to continue to explore the efficacy of using its technology for
such purposes and would, when appropriate, either seek licensing arrangements
with third parties, or develop and market proprietary products through its own
efforts.
Substantially all of HyTech's net sales are derived from sales to QVC under the
Renegotiated License Agreement. Pursuant to the Renegotiated License Agreement,
if QVC fails to meet the stipulated minimum product purchase requirements at the
May 31, 1998 measurement date, HyTech alone can elect to continue or terminate
the agreement. HyTech believes that QVC will not meet such stipulated minimums
prior to May 31, 1998 and has not decided what actions, if any, it plans to take
under such circumstances.
Results of Operations
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were $1,311,218, a decrease
of $1,096,986, or 46%, from net sales of $2,408,204 for the three months ended
March 31, 1997. This decrease is attributable in part to an 18% decrease in
retail sales of Hydron products sold by QVC during the same periods, and to the
sale and delivery in March 1997 of $600,000 in products featured as a special
promotion by QVC in April 1997. There were no similar sale and delivery of
special promotion products during the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Approximately 80% and 85% of HyTech's sales during the three months ended March
31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were to QVC and its related entities.
Management anticipates that sales to QVC will continue to be a substantial
percentage of HyTech's sales and, absent the consummation of marketing or
distribution arrangements with third parties other than QVC, HyTech's dependence
upon QVC as a substantial customer will remain significant. Any disruption in
HyTech's relationship with QVC would have a material adverse effect on the
business, financial condition and results of operations of HyTech.
11 of 15
<PAGE>
Results of Operations (continued)
HyTech's gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 1998 remained
at 59%, the same gross profit margin for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
The gross profit margins on sales to QVC and related entities, was 56% and 55%
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The gross
profit margins on HyTech's catalog ("Catalog") sales were 71% and 80% for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in
Catalog related gross profit margin relates to a one-time sale of approximately
$73,000 at a 44% gross profit margin during the three months ended March 31,
1998.
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 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
were $118,329, an increase of $37,686, or 47%, from R&D expenses of $80,643 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997. This increase is the result primarily of
approximately $50,000 in clinical studies performed on various products during
the three months ended March 31, 1998. No such clinical studies were performed
during the three months ended March 31, 1997. The amount of R&D expenses per
year varies, depending on the nature of the development work during each year,
as well as the number and type of products under development at such time.
Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 were $605,627, a decrease of $524,626, or 46%, from SG&A expenses
of $1,130,253 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease is
attributable primarily to reduced promotional activity involving the Catalog.
Total Catalog SG&A expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 were
$115,160, a decrease of $379,165, or 77%, from Catalog SG&A expenses of $494,325
for the three months ended March 31, 1997. Non-catalog SG&A expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 1998 were $490,467, a decrease of $145,461, or 23%,
from non-catalog SG&A expenses of $635,928 for the three months ended March 31,
1997. The decrease in non-catalog SG&A expenses was the result primarily of
decreased payroll expense.
Interest and investment income for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$30,944, a decrease of $40,004, or 56%, from interest and investment income of
$70,948 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This decrease is due
primarily to lower cash balances. HyTech maintains a conservative investment
strategy, deriving investment income primarily from U.S. Treasury securities.
The joint venture equity pick-up for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was
$20,032, a decrease of $28,217, or 58%, from the joint venture equity pick-up of
$48,249 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. This equity pick-up
represents HyTech's proportionate share of New Hydromercial Partner's net income
for the same period.
12 of 15
<PAGE>
Results of Operations (continued)
The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 was ($89,419), as
compared to net income of $89,686 for the three months ended March 31, 1997.
This decrease was the result primarily of the factors discussed above. The net
loss for the three months ended March 31, 1998 includes a net profit from
Catalog operations of $49,993 and a net loss from non-catalog operations of
($139,412). The net income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 includes a
net loss of ($235,556) from Catalog operations and a net profit from non-catalog
operations of $325,242.
Liquidity and Financial Resources
HyTech's overall financial condition remains strong as reflected in the
Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997.
Working capital at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was approximately $4.8
million and $4.7 million, respectively, including cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. HyTech's increase in
cash and cash equivalents was the result primarily of cash flow from operations
of approximately $286,000.
Investing activities used $424 and $194,941 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, respectively. The investing activities during the three months
ended March 31, 1997 consisted primarily of leasehold improvements for the
expansion of HyTech's administrative offices.
There were no financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 1997 of $551,922
related primarily to the payment of dividends. The payment of dividends were
suspended by the Board of Directors in September 1997. The payment of dividends
in the future will be determined by the Board of Directors in light of
conditions then existing, including HyTech's earnings and financial condition.
Based on HyTech's present cash position, absence of any short or long term debt,
arrangements with third parties for contractual manufacturing and R&D, and
HyTech's 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 day payment terms in connection with sales to QVC, management
does not anticipate any difficulty in financing foreseeable inventory
requirements. However, since sales to QVC represent approximately 80% of
HyTech's net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1998, termination of the
Renegotiated License Agreement or any significant reduction in the volume of
sales to QVC would have a material adverse effect on HyTech's business,
financial condition and results of operations.
HyTech does not have the financial resources to sustain a national advertising
campaign to market its products in a conventional retail mode. In view of the
foregoing, management's strategy has been to enter into marketing, licensing and
distribution agreements with third parties (such as QVC and New Hydromercial
Partners) which have greater financial resources than those of HyTech and that
can enhance HyTech's product introductions with appropriate national marketing
support programs.
13 of 15
<PAGE>
Liquidity and Financial Resources (continued)
HyTech has determined that it will need to modify or replace certain portions of
its software so that its computer systems will function properly with respect to
dates in the Year 2000 and beyond. Management does not expect that this project
will have a significant effect on operations. While HyTech believes its planning
efforts are adequate to address its Year 2000 concerns, there can be no
guarantee that the systems of other companies on which HyTech's systems and
operations rely will be converted on a timely basis and will not have a material
effect on HyTech. The cost of the Year 2000 initiatives is not expected to be
material to HyTech's results of operations or financial position.
The effect of inflation has not been significant upon either the operations or
