                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The financial statements at March 31, 1996 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited but include all adjustments which the
Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at
such date and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. These
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995, which were
included as part of the Company's Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the entire year.

NOTE 2 - CONTINGENCY

         In August 1990, the Company received a notice from the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental Resources ("DER") that it is one of approximately
1,000 potentially responsible parties ("PRPs") that may have clean-up
responsibility at the Industrial Solvents and Chemical Company site in York
Haven, Pennsylvania (the "Site"). During the late 1980's, the Company, through a
licensed waste disposal transport company, shipped industrial solvents to the
Site, which was operating as a recycling facility. The DER is in the process of
reviewing hazardous waste found at the Site as well as the DER's own records in
order to identify additional PRPs and to quantify PRPs' volumetric
contributions. The Company has joined a steering committee that consists of many
PRPs. Although neither the total clean-up cost nor the portion of the total
clean-up cost assigned to each PRP has been determined, the Company estimated
based upon the advice of an environmental consultant, that its liability at
December 31, 1992 was approximately $417,000, which amount was provided for in
the financial statements at that date. On February 2, 1994, the same consultant
provided the Company with an updated report on the site. Based upon this
analysis, the Company revised its expected liability to $780,000. Further, the
same consultant has reported to the Company that there is less than a 10% chance
that its liability might exceed $1,070,033. During the second quarter of 1995
the Company paid its first assessment for clean-up costs of $79,390. Therefore
the reserve at December 31, 1995, represents $700,610. There have been no
significant changes in the projected total clean-up costs nor the PRPs assigned
portion of the total costs in the first quarter of 1996, therefore, the
Company's reserve of $700,610 has remained unchanged at March 31, 1996.

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

OVERVIEW

         Biomatrix, Inc., which includes Biomatrix Svenska AB, a wholly owned
subsidiary, and Biomatrix Medical Canada, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary,
(the "Company"), has been principally engaged in the research and development
and commercial application of proprietary viscoelastic biological polymers
called hylans, for use in therapeutic medical applications and skin care. For
the past two years, a significant source of revenue for the Company has been
from corporate license and distribution agreements which have included certain
one-time payments. Until the Company commences sales of its products in major
markets, payments from corporate agreements are expected to continue to be a
major source of revenues.

         The Company's business is subject to significant risks. Forward-looking
comments included herein are subject to and should be read in conjunction with
the "Risk Factors" section of the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K,
including the risks and uncertainties associated with the regulatory approval
process and with obtaining and enforcing patents important to the Company's
business. As a significant amount of Biomatrix' future revenues may be based on
payments from corporate license and distribution agreements, the Company's total
revenues and profit and losses are expected to fluctuate from quarter to
quarter. Some of these fluctuations may be significant and, as a result, quarter
to quarter comparisons may not be meaningful. As of March 31, 1996, the
Company's accumulated deficit was $39,583,288.

        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

           REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996
were $1,738,847, an increase of $642,051, or 58.5%, from the same period in
1995. Product sales were $1,096,900 in the first quarter of 1996, an increase of
$430,871, or 64.7%, from the same period in 1995, and represented 63.1% of total
first quarter 1996 revenues. New product sales of Synvisc(R), the Company's
product for the treatment of osteoarthritis, in Sweden and an increase in the
sales of skin care intermediate products were the major factors which
contributed to the product sales increase. Revenues from licenses, royalties,
research contracts and grants were $641,947 in the first quarter of 1996, an
increase of $211,180, or 49.0%, from the comparable period in 1995. This
favorable change was primarily attributed to a non-refundable payment associated
with negotiations for a strategic corporate distribution agreement.

         COSTS AND EXPENSES. Total costs and expenses for the first quarter of
1996 were $3,086,566, a decrease of $87,385, or 2.8%, from the same period in
1995. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter were
$1,005,874, a decrease of $301,404, or 23.1%, from the same period in 1995. Such
decrease was principally due to changes made in the Canadian subsidiary whereby
the Company, in accordance with its distribution agreement in Canada, was
reimbursed for certain selling and administrative expenses by its corporate
partner. Additionally, as a result of such agreement, a major portion of the
Company's marketing expenses and customer service personnel have become the
responsibility of its corporate partner. This decrease was partially offset by
an increase in cost of sales of $194,640 to $713,848 due to the higher sales
volumes. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 65.1% in the first quarter
of 1996 versus 78.0% in the same quarter of 1995. This favorable change was
primarily due to an increase in production volumes at the Company's
manufacturing facility in Canada to support the demand for medical products in
Sweden and Canada. Such change was offset partially as a result of the Company's
corporate partner distribution arrangement in Canada, under which the Company
now receives a percentage of its corporate partner's sales of Synvisc. However,
the Company expects that cost of sales will decline further as a percentage of
sales as production volumes increase and as the Company expands the sales of its
medical products globally.

         INTEREST AND MISCELLANEOUS INCOME. Interest expense was $28,455 for the
first quarter of 1995, an increase of $13,464 from the prior year due to a
construction and equipment loan from the Quebec government. Interest and
miscellaneous income was $127,371 for the first three months of 1996, which was
consistent with the same period in 1995.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
          OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         The Company's capital needs have been financed in the past from several
sources, including private and public placements of its equity securities, loans
from shareholders and the Canadian government, license fees, product revenues,
royalties, research contracts and grants. Through March 31, 1996, the Company
had raised an aggregate of approximately $50 million from the sale of equity
securities and an aggregate of approximately $10.6 million from corporate
license and distribution agreements.

         The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,966,784 and
investments, invested in U.S. government securities, of $5,889,712 at March 31,
1996. Overall, the Company's cash and investment position decreased by $630,770
for the first quarter of 1996.

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had provided a reserve of $700,610
for a contingent liability related to an environmental matter. This reserve is
included in accrued expenses. See Note 2 of Notes to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.

         In connection with the Company's acquisition in 1991 of the
manufacturing facility in Canada, the Company's majority-owned Canadian
subsidiary obtained a five-year loan of approximately $600,000. The anticipated
outstanding balance of $525,053 will be due in June 1996. The Company plans to
renew this loan for an additional five-year term.

         The Company's present cash and investments together with revenues
generated from ongoing business operations are expected to be sufficient to
enable the Company to conduct its present business activities into 1997. The
Company is pursuing arrangements with potential corporate partners, which could
add additional capital in the form of equity, up-front license payments and
anticipated future revenue payments, in addition to the potential milestone
payments it could receive from existing corporate partners to support ongoing
operations. There can be no assurance that any such arrangements will be
consummated on terms satisfactory to the Company, or at all.
