NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The financial statements at September 30, 1996 and for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 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 1980s, the Company, through a
licensed waste disposal transport company, shipped industrial solvents to the
Site, which was operating as a recycling facility. 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 was $700,610. There have been no significant
changes in the projected total clean-up costs nor the PRPs' assigned portion of
the total costs during the first nine months of 1996, therefore, the Company's
reserve of $700,610 has remained unchanged at September 30, 1996.

NOTE 4 - NOTE RECEIVABLE - RELATED PARTY
The note receivable - related party relates to the acquisition of
common stock of the Company by an officer of the Company on April 2, 1996 at
fair market value on such date. The note is with recourse and payable with
interest on April 2, 2000.
NOTE 5 - CAPITAL LEASE
On September 12, 1996, the Company entered into a lease for a building
where the Company intends to locate its U.S. manufacturing facility. This
lease has been accounted for as a capital lease, and accordingly the present
value of the lease payments and the specified purchase price is included in
property, plant and equipment at September 30, 1996.

BIOMATRIX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Biomatrix, Inc., together with its subsidiaries (the "Company"), is
principally engaged in the research, development and commercial application of
proprietary viscoelastic biological polymers, called hylans, for use in
therapeutic medical applications and skin care. For approximately 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. Payments from corporate partners are expected to continue to be an
important 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, with obtaining and enforcing patents important to
the Company's business and other risks detailed in the Company's reports filed
under the Securities Exchange Act. 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 or 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 September 30, 1996, the Company's accumulated deficit was
$34,953,658.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995
REVENUES. Total revenues for the three months ended September 30,
1996 were $2,465,339, a decrease of $2,207,736, from the same period in 1995.
This decrease is due primarily to the timing of non-recurring, up-front
licensing payments from corporate partners. The Company expects payments of
such type to continue to give rise to significant variability in revenues on a
quarterly basis in the near term. Revenues from licenses, royalties, research
contracts and grants were $1,345,225 in the third quarter of 1996 which
represented a decrease of $2,455,127 from the same period of 1995. In the
third quarter of 1995, the Company's Canadian subsidiary received a
non-refundable licensing payment of $3,500,000 for the distribution rights to
Synvisc(R) in Canada. In the third quarter of 1996, the Company received a
$1,000,000 payment from Pharmacia & Upjohn ("Pharmacia") which represented the
final payment and termination of Pharmacia's license of the Company's
ophthalmic viscosurgical products.
Product sales increased $247,391 or 28.3% in the third quarter of
1996. This increase was principally comprised of higher Synvisc sales by the
Company's distributor in Sweden as well as higher skin care intermediate
product sales, due primarily to the timing of shipments.
COST AND EXPENSES. Total cost and expenses for the third quarter of
1996 were $3,204,714, an increase of $589,959, or 22.6%, from the same period
in 1995. Cost of sales was $535,212, an increase of $124,000 in the third
quarter of 1996. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 47.8% in the third
quarter of 1996 versus 47.1% in the same quarter of 1995. The Company expects
that cost of sales as a percentage of sales will decline as production volumes
increase. Research and development expenses in the third quarter of 1996 were
$1,623,653, representing an increase of $315,994, or 24.2% from the same period
of 1995. This increase resulted primarily from higher costs associated with
international patent registrations and higher clinical consulting costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,045,849 and
$895,884 for the third quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively. The increase
from quarter-to-quarter of $149,965 or 16.7% was due primarily to higher legal
costs associated with the negotiation of corporate distribution agreements and
higher personnel costs associated with the pre-commercialization activities in
Europe.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
RESULTS OF OPERATION FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND
1995(CON'T)
INTEREST AND MISCELLANEOUS INCOME. Interest expense was $24,719 for
the third quarter of 1996, a decrease of $6,756 from the same period of 1995,
due primarily to the refinancing of the Company's Canadian subsidiary's
mortgage. Interest and miscellaneous income was $189,608 for the third
quarter of 1996, a decrease of $135,497 from the same period in 1995, due
principally to a $200,000 payment in the third quarter of 1995 from the
Company's distribution partner in Canada for Synvisc promotional material.
This decrease was partially offset by higher interest income resulting
primarily from increased cash and investment balances in the 1996 period.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, AND 1995
REVENUES. Total revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 were $12,746,926 and $7,262,460, respectively, representing an
increase of $5,484,466 in the 1996 period. Revenues from research contracts,
licenses, royalties and grants were $9,465,334 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, or 74.3% of total revenues, and were $4,717,550 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995, representing an increase of $4,747,784
over the same period in 1995. This increase was due principally to a
non-refundable $5 million payment from Collagen Corp. relating to an agreement
for the marketing rights to Hylaform(R) in Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and
other select countries and a payment related to an agreement under which the
Company reacquired the marketing rights for Synvisc in certain countries in
Europe.
Product sales which accounted for 25.7% of total revenues, were
$3,281,592 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing an
increase of $736,682 or 28.9%, over the same period in 1995. This increase
was due principally to increased sales of Synvisc, resulting from the launch of
Synvisc in Sweden in June of 1995. Additionally, sales of skin care
intermediate products increased, resulting primarily from the timing of
shipments.
COST AND EXPENSES. Total cost and expenses were $9,826,062 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, which represented an increase of
$701,874, or 7.7%, from the corresponding period of 1995. Cost of sales was
$1,890,573 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing an
increase of $437,833 over the same period of 1995, due to the higher sales
volume. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 57.6% in the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 versus 57.1% for the same period of 1995. The Company
expects that cost of sales as a percentage of sales will decline as production
volumes increase. Research and development expenses were $4,526,306 in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, representing an increase of $467,072, or
11.5%, over the same period in 1995, resulting primarily from higher costs
associated with international patent registrations and clinical consulting
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,409,183 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing a decrease of $203,031, or
5.6% from the same period of 1995. This decrease results primarily from the
Company's Canadian subsidiary's distribution agreement in Canada whereby
certain expenses have been reimbursed by its corporate partner. Partially
offsetting this decrease in expenses were higher legal costs associated with
the negotiation of corporate distributor agreements and higher personnel costs
associated with pre-commercialization activities in Europe.
INTEREST AND MISCELLANEOUS INCOME. Interest expense was $91,094 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1996, which represented an increase of
$29,403 from the same period of 1995 due primarily to the commencement of
interest charges in the third quarter of 1995 on a construction and equipment
loan from the Quebec government. Interest and miscellaneous income was
$551,057 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996, representing a
decrease of $4,654 compared to the same period of 1995. The decrease resulted
from a $200,000 payment in the third quarter of 1995 from the Company's
distribution partner in Canada for Synvisc promotional material which was
partially offset by increased interest income resulting from higher cash and
investment balances in the 1996 period.

BIOMATRIX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
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 sales of its equity securities,
loans from shareholders and the Canadian government, medical and skin care
intermediates product revenues, royalties, license fees, research and
development contract revenues and grants. Through September 30, 1996, the
Company had raised an aggregate of approximately $50 million from the sale of
equity securities and an aggregate of approximately $17 million from corporate
partners and distribution agreements. The Company expects that a significant
portion of its product revenues for the next several years will be dependent
upon sales of Synvisc and other medical products. Any significant delay in
regulatory approvals or commercialization of the Company's medical products in
major markets would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $3,374,448 and
held-to-maturity investments in U.S. government securities, of $11,224,769 at
September 30, 1996. Overall, the Company's cash and held-to-maturity
investments position increased by $4,111,951 in the nine months ended September
30, 1996. The increase in liquid assets was due principally to the positive
net cash flow from operations and funds from the exercise of employee stock
options in 1996.
As of September 30, 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 approximately $500,000 was renewed in June
1996 for an additional five-year term.
On September 12, 1996, after receiving a favorable evaluation by the
New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, the Company commenced its
lease of a 93,000 square foot building in New Jersey in which the Company
intends to locate its U.S. manufacturing facility. The lease term is
approximately 10 years with annual lease payments increasing from $350,000 to
$500,000 over the term of the lease. Within the first three years of the
lease, the Company has an option to acquire this building at a price of
approximately $4,500,000. Should the Company not exercise its option within
this three year period, the landlord has the right to require the purchase by
the Company of this building for approximately the same price. The Company
plans to modify this building to accommodate manufacturing capability for the
U.S. and foreign markets. In conjunction with this lease, the Company plans to
expend funds or obtain financing to provide modifications to the building
required for manufacturing and the acquisition of capital equipment required in
the manufacturing process. The Company also plans to relocate its research and
development facilities and its administrative offices to this new facility upon
the expiration of its current lease obligation in 1999.
The Company's present cash and held-to-maturity securities together
with revenues generated from ongoing business operations are expected to be
sufficient to enable the Company to conduct its present business activities
through 1998. The Company is pursuing arrangements with existing and potential
corporate partners, which could add additional capital in the form of equity,
up-front payments and anticipated future distribution payments to support
ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that any such arrangements will
be consummated in a timely manner or on terms favorable to the Company.
