                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               March 31, 1996

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited financial statements of EDITEK, Inc. (the "Company")
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.
In the opinion of management,  all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring
accruals)  considered  necessary for a fair presentation of financial  condition
and results of operations  have been included.  Operating  results for the three
month period ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
that may be attained for the entire year. For further information,  refer to the
financial  statements  and footnotes  thereto  included in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K, (as amended), for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Loss Per Share:  Loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average number
of shares of common stock  outstanding.  Common stock  equivalents have not been
included in the computation as the effect would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE B -- ACQUISITION OF MEDTOX LABORATORIES, INC. ("MEDTOX")

On January 30,  1996,  the Company  acquired  MEDTOX,  a  toxicology  laboratory
located in St.  Paul,  Minnesota.  The  purchase  price was $24  million,  which
included $19 million cash and the issuance of 2,517,306  shares of common stock.
The  acquisition  was  accounted  for under the  purchase  method of  accounting
wherein the  Company  recognized  approximately  $22  million in  goodwill.  The
goodwill is being amortized over a period of 20 years.  The Company financed the
acquisition by issuing $20 million of convertible  preferred stock and borrowing
$4 million  under two $2 million  term loans.  The Company  also  entered into a
revolving line of credit of up to $7 million for working capital  purposes.  The
consolidated  results of  operations  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996
include the results of the MEDTOX  operations from January 26, 1996 to March 31,
1996.

NOTE C -- ACQUISITION OF BIOMAN PRODUCTS, INC. ("BIOMAN")

On June 1, 1995,  the Company  acquired  Bioman,  an  environmental  diagnostics
company.  The purchase price was $140,000,  which included cash and the issuance
of 21,489 shares of common stock.  The  acquisition  was accounted for under the
purchase  method of  accounting  wherein  the  Company  recognized  $117,000  of
goodwill,  which is being amortized over a period of 20 years.  The consolidated
results of  operations  for the three months  ended March 31, 1996  included the
results of the Bioman operations.

<PAGE>

NOTE D -- DEBT

On August 15, 1989 the Company  entered  into a long-term  loan  agreement  with
North  Carolina  Biotechnology  Center  ("NCBC"),  a  state  funded,  non-profit
organization  whereby the Company  borrowed an aggregate of $125,000 to fund the
development cost of a test for Chlamydia,  a sexually  transmitted  disease. The
loan  originally  had an interest rate of seven and one half percent  (7.5%) per
annum with all  principal  and  interest  due on August 15,  1994.  The  Company
amended the loan  agreement on the due date and issued  16,100  shares of common
stock for  $62,000 of the loan.  The  remaining  principal,  $63,000,  now bears
interest at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum;  this principal and interest,
which are due on August 15, 1996, are convertible into shares of common stock.

To help finance the  acquisition of MEDTOX,  the Company  entered into revolving
and term loan facilities with Heller Financial, Inc. The debt financing is for a
total of $11,000,000  and consists of two term loans totaling  $4,000,000 and up
to $7,000,000 in the form of a revolving  line of credit based  primarily on the
receivables of the Company. The amount of credit available to the Company varies
with the accounts  receivable  and the  inventory  of the Company.  The interest
rates on the two term loans of  $2,000,000  are 2.5 points  above the prime rate
and 2.0 points above the prime rate, respectively.  The revolving line of credit
carries an interest rate equal to 1.5 points above the prime rate.
   
NOTE E -- RESTATEMENT

In March 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff (the "Staff")
announced its position on accounting for preferred stock which is convertible
into common stock at a discount from the market rate at the date of issuance.
The Staff's position is that a preferred stock dividend should be recorded for
the difference between the conversion price and the quoted market price of 
common stock at the date of issuance.  To comply with this position, the Company
restated its loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996 applicable to 
common stockholders to reflect a deemed dividend of $6,783,333 related to the
January 1996 sales of the Series A Preferred Stock.  The restatement resulted
in an increase in the previously reported net loss applicable to common 
stockholders to $.69 from the previously reported amount of $.14.

NOTE F -- RESTATEMENT OF 1995 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    
During  1995,  the  Company  recorded  a  restructuring  charge in the amount of
$758,000  associated  with the  consolidation  of the  laboratory  operations at
Princeton Diagnostic  Laboratories of America, Inc. ("PDLA") into the laboratory
operations  at MEDTOX.  Subsequent  to the filing of the 1995 Audited  Financial
Statements,  it was determined that the restructuring  charge should be recorded
during the first quarter of 1996, consistent with the consummation of the MEDTOX
acquisition on January 30, 1996. Accordingly,  the Company has restated the 1995
Audited Financial Statements.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Introduction

         The  Company  commenced  operations  in June 1983 and until  1986 was a
development  stage company.  The Company became engaged in the  manufacture  and
sale of  Conventional  Biodiagnostic  Products as a result of its acquisition of
Granite  Technological  Enterprises,   Inc.  in  1986.  The  Company  began  the
manufacture and sale of its EZ-SCREEN(R) diagnostic tests in 1985 and introduced
its patented  one-step assays,  VERDICT(R) and RECON(R),  in 1993. Also in 1993,
the  Company  formed  DIAGNOSTIX,  Inc.  to market its  agricultural  diagnostic
products.  In addition,  DIAGNOSTIX now markets the Company's  on-site substance
abuse  products to certain  segments of the  substance  abuse  marketplace.  The
Company entered the laboratory  testing market when it completed the acquisition
of Princeton Diagnostic  Laboratories of America, Inc., (PDLA) in 1994. In 1995,
the Company  acquired the former  operations of Bioman  through its  DIAGNOSTIX,
Inc.  subsidiary.  On January 30, 1996 the Company  completed the acquisition of
MEDTOX.  The results of  operations  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996
include the  operations  of MEDTOX from  January 26, 1996 through the end of the
period.   Since  inception,   the  Company  has  financed  its  working  capital
requirements primarily from the sale of equity securities.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1995

         Total  revenues  for  the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996  were
$5,623,000 as compared to $1,727,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1995.
The increase was  attributable  to the  increase in revenues  from  products and
services. These revenues totaled $5,544,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996, as compared to $1,573,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

         Laboratory  service revenues were $4,748,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1996 as compared to  $863,000  for the three  months  ended March 31,
1995.  This  increase was  primarily  the result of the revenues  from MEDTOX of
$3,616,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  Net of the revenues from
MEDTOX,  laboratory  service revenues were $1,132,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, an increase of 31% as compared to the same period in 1995.  This
31% increase  was  primarily  the result of the  continued  sales and  marketing
effort for these services. Laboratory service revenues of MEDTOX were $4,816,000
for the full three  months  ended March 31, 1996 as compared to $ 4,833,000  for
MEDTOX for the three months ended March 31, 1995.

         Product sales include the sales  generated from substance abuse testing
products,  which  incorporates  the  EZ-SCREEN and VERDICT on site test kits and
other  ancillary  products for the  detection of abused  substances.  Sales from
these  products were $325,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared
to sales of $336,000 recorded for the same period in 1995.

<PAGE>

         Product sales also include sales of agricultural  diagnostic  products.
Sales of these  products were $315,000 for the three months ended March 31 1996,
an increase of 25%  compared to sales of  $253,000  for the three  months  ended
March 31, 1995. The Company had sales of $146,000  which were generated  through
the former  operations  of Bioman,  which was acquired by the Company on June 1,
1995. Excluding these revenues,  sales of agricultural  diagnostic products were
$169,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 a decrease of 33% compared to
the same period in 1995.  The Company  believes that the primary  reason for the
decrease was due to timing differences in orders from the USDA for the Company's
products.

         Sales of  Microbiological  and  associated  product sales combined with
contract  manufacturing  services  were $81,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 compared to $107,000 for the same period in 1995.  This decrease of 24%
was primarily the result of the Company's decision not to market these products.
Accordingly,  the Company has decided to close down the  operations  of the Farm
Facility during the second quarter of 1996. While this closure will decrease the
amount of revenues  generated from these sales,  the elimination of the costs of
the Farm Facility are expected to improve the overall gross margin from the sale
of the Company's products.

         Revenues generated from the shipment of products to the U.S. Department
of Defense were  $75,000 for the three  months ended March 31, 1996  compared to
$14,000  for the same  period in 1995.  This  increase  was the result of modest
sales of finished products  following the completion of research and development
on certain tests in late 1995 and early 1996.

         Revenues  from  royalties  and fees during the three months ended March
31, 1996 were $63,000,  compared to $86,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1995.  This decrease was primarily due to lower  royalties from AML, as AML lost
accounts that require payment of royalties to the Company.

         Revenues  from  interest  and other  income for the three  months ended
March 31, 1996 were $16,000 compared to $68,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1995.  The $68,000 in 1995 included the recovery of debts owed by a customer
of laboratory  services which had been written off. For the same period in 1996,
there was no such recovery of debts.

     The gross margin from the revenues  generated from the laboratory  services
was 22% for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 an increase  compared to the
same period in 1995, when the cost of providing laboratory services exceeded the
revenue  realized from these  services.  The improvement in the gross margin was
primarily due to the operations of MEDTOX which realized a gross margin of 29%.

<PAGE>

     Gross  margins  from the sales of both  manufactured  products and products
purchased for resale for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were 18% compared
to 15% of sales of these products  during the three months ended March 31, 1995.
This  increase in gross margin from product sales is primarily the result of the
sales of products to the  Department of Defense,  and sales of the  agricultural
products sold through DIAGNOSTIX.

         Selling, general and administration expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 were $1,704,000,  compared to $858,000 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995. Of the $846,000 increase,  MEDTOX expenses totaled $470,000. Net
of MEDTOX,  there was an  increase  of  $376,000  compared to the same period in
1995. This increase is primarily due to $208,000 of amortization expense related
to the goodwill resulting from the MEDTOX acquisition.

         Research  and  development  expenses  incurred  during the three months
ended March 31, 1996 were  $345,000 as compared to $208,000  for the same period
in 1995.  This  increase  of  $137,000  was  primarily  the result of $85,000 of
research and development  expenses from MEDTOX as well as increases in personnel
costs.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1996, EDITEK incurred interest expense
of $93,000,  compared to interest  expense of $18,000  incurred during the three
months ended March 31, 1995.  This increase was the result of the funds borrowed
by the Company to complete the financing for the acquisition of MEDTOX.
   
     In connection with the acquisition of MEDTOX,  the Company  determined that
it would be beneficial to consolidate the laboratory operations of PDLA into the
laboratory  operations at MEDTOX.  In addition the Company  decided to down size
certain  administrative  positions at both PDLA and MEDTOX in order to eliminate
duplicative  functions.  As a result of this restructuring plan, the Company has
taken a one time charge of $858,000 during the three months ended March 31, 1996
to cover  certain  costs of the  restructuring,  including  $100,000  related to
certain severance payments (see Note F of the Financial Statements). The Company
had no such charge during the three months ended March 31, 1995.
    
     As a result of the above, the net loss for the three months ended March 31,
1996 was  $1,725,000,  compared to the net loss of $913,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.
   
    In March 1997, the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff (the "Staff")
announced its position on accounting for preferred stock which is convertible
into common stock at a discount from the market rate at the date of issuance. To
comply with this position, the Company restated its loss for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 applicable to common stockholders to reflect a deemed
dividend of $6,783,000 related to the January 1996 sales of the Series A 
Preferred Stock.  The restatement resulted in an increase in the previously
reported net loss per share applicable to common stockholders from the 
previously reported $1,725,000 to $8,598,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996.  The Company had no such charge for the three months ended March 31, 
1995.
    
     Management  believes the acquisition of MEDTOX and the restructuring of the
laboratory  operations will  significantly  improve the operating results of the
Company,  although there can be no assurance of the success of the consolidation
of the  laboratory  operations  in reducing  costs and  improving  efficiencies.
Management  expects  net  sales  to  grow  through  both  additional   strategic
acquisitions  and the addition of new accounts,  as well as the  introduction of
new products, including the recently launched EZ-SCREEN PROFILE(TM) Test Kit.

Material Changes in Financial Condition

         As of March 31, 1996, cash and cash equivalents were $880,000  compared
to $258,000 at December 31, 1995.  This  increase was the result of the proceeds
received from the sale of the 407 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, as well as
proceeds received from the issuance of debt during 1996.

         As of March 31, 1996,  accounts  receivable were $4,635,000 compared to
$1,029,000 at December 31, 1995. Of the total increase of $3,606,000, $3,506,000
was  attributable  to  Medtox.  The  $100,000   increase,   net  of  the  MEDTOX
receivables,  was the result of higher sales in the quarter ended March 31, 1996
as compared to sales prior to December 31, 1995.

         Inventories  were  $1,357,000 at March 31, 1996 as compared to $937,000
at December 31, 1995. Of the total  increase of $420,000,  MEDTOX  inventory was
$430,000 at March 31, 1996, resulting in a decrease net of MEDTOX of $10,000.

     Prepaid  expenses  and other  assets  were  $531,000  at March 31,  1996 as
compared to $868,000 at December 31, 1995.  This  decrease of $337,000,  or 39%,
was primarily the result of the January  application of the $500,000 deposit the
Company had previously  made towards the purchase  price for the  acquisition of
MEDTOX.

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had a balance of accounts  payable of
$1,885,000  compared to a balance of  $1,184,000  at December 31,  1995.  Of the
total  increase of $701,000,  the payables from MEDTOX were  $1,004,000 at March
31,  1996.  Net of the  payables  from  MEDTOX,  the  decrease of  $303,000  was
primarily  the result of the  payment of past due  expenses  resulting  from the
Company's improved financial condition.

         Accrued  expenses  were  $1,585,000  at March 31, 1996,  as compared to
$834,000 at December 31, 1995.  Of the total  increase of $751,000,  the accrued
expenses from MEDTOX were $929,000 at March 31, 1996. Net of the MEDTOX balance,
the  decrease  of  $178,000  was the  result  of  payment  of  certain  expenses
associated with the acquisition of MEDTOX.
   
     At March 31,  1996,  the Company had  accrued  $604,000  for the payment of
certain  restructuring costs associated with the consolidation of the laboratory
operations of PDLA with the laboratory  operations of MEDTOX. In addition MEDTOX
has accrued  $680,000  for the payment of a lease  obligation  for a facility no
longer used by MEDTOX.  As a result,  the Company has a total balance of accrued
restructuring  costs of  $1,284,000  at March 31, 1996. At December 31, 1995 the
Company  had no accrual  for  restructuring  costs (see Note F of the  Financial
Statements).

         During the three months ended March 31,  1996,  the Company  repaid the
$100,000 it had borrowed from Dr. Samuel C. Powell, a director of the Company As
described more fully in the footnotes to the financial statements,  at March 31,
1996,  the  Company  had a  balance  of  loan  payable  to  the  North  Carolina
Biotechnology  Center  (NCBC) of $63,000.  At March 31, 1996,  the Company had a
total balance of  $3,777,000  for its loans  payable to Heller  Financial,  Inc.
Primarily as a result of these transactions,  the total balance of notes payable
at March 31, 1996 was $3,867,000 as compared to $182,000 at December 31, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Since its inception,  the working capital  requirements of the Company have
been funded  primarily by cash received from equity  investments in the Company.
At March 31,  1996,  the Company had cash and cash  equivalents  of $880,000 and
borrowing  capability of  approximately  $3,500,000  from its revolving  line of
credit.  The Company  believes that the balance of cash and cash  equivalents at
March 31, 1996 together  with the revolving  line of credit should be sufficient
to fund the planned operations through 1996.

     As of March 31,  1996,  the Company had not  achieved a positive  cash flow
from   operations.   Accordingly,   the  Company  relies  on  available   credit
arrangements  to fund  operations  until a positive  cash flow can be  achieved.
Management  believes that it has taken, and is prepared to continue to take, the
actions required to yield a positive cash flow from operations in the future.

     The  Company  believes  that the  acquisition  of  MEDTOX,  the  subsequent
consolidation  of the  laboratory  operations  from PDLA into MEDTOX,  and other
synergy  that will be realized  from the  acquisition  of MEDTOX will enable the
Company to generate  positive cash flow. The Company  continues to follow a plan
which includes (i) continuing to  aggressively  monitor and control costs,  (ii)
increasing revenue from sales of the Company's products,  services, and research
and  development  contracts,  as well as (iii)  continue to  selectively  pursue
synergistic  acquisitions to increase the Company's  critical mass. There can be
no assurance that costs can be controlled,  revenues can be increased, financing
may be obtained, acquisitions successfully consummated, or that the Company will
be profitable.

     The  Company  lacks  sufficient  shares  of  Common  Stock to  satisfy  the
conversion rights of the outstanding  Preferred Stock of the Company,  including
conversion notices received by the Company. Consequently, the Company would lack
shares of  Common  Stock to sell in a future  financing  should it need to raise
capital or for future acquisitions,  until and unless the Company's shareholders
approve an amendment to its Certificate of  Incorporation  increasing the number
of shares of authorized  Common Stock.  The Company intends to seek  shareholder
approval as soon as  practicable  to increase the  authorized  Common Stock from
30,000,000  to  60,000,000.  There can be no  assurance  the  shareholders  will
approve such  amendment.  If the Company lacks shares of Common Stock for future
financings or acquisitions,  the Company will have to rely on debt financings or
sales of its Preferred Stock. There can be no assurance that the Company will be
able to obtain  adequate  capital  or  implement  acquisitions  through  debt or
Preferred Stock financings.
