            The following discussions and other parts of this report which
express "belief", "anticipation", "expectation", "plans", "future" or
"intention" as well as other statements which are not historical fact, are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties. The Company's
actual results may differ significantly from the results discussed in these
forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include,
but are not limited to, those discussed under "Item 7-Liquidity and Capital
Resources" and "Item 8-Nature of Business" sections of this report and those
included in publicly available filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.


  ITEM 1.      BUSINESS

            Organogenesis Inc. (the "Company" or "Organogenesis") designs,
  develops and manufactures medical therapeutics using living human cells and/or
  natural connective tissue components. The Company's products are designed to
  promote the establishment and growth of new tissues to restore, maintain or
  improve biological function. The Company was organized as a Delaware
  corporation in 1985. Its principal executive offices are located at 150 Dan
  Road, Canton, Massachusetts 02021 and its telephone number is (617) 575-0775.

  CORE TECHNOLOGIES

            Organogenesis was founded to develop and commercialize therapies
  based on innovations in tissue engineering. Tissue engineering is a relatively
  new discipline focused on developing products based on living cells and/or
  specialized biomaterials to assist, repair, regenerate or replace diseased or
  damaged organs. An understanding of the biology of cells and the structure and
  function of the extracellular matrix, and the critical interactions between
  the two, is needed to fully exploit the potential of tissue engineering.
  Because of this, Organogenesis continually strives to broaden, develop and
  utilize its expertise in cell and connective tissue sciences.

            CELL SCIENCE  The ability to tap the power of living cells is
  important to realizing the potential of tissue engineering. Cells are the
  building blocks of life. They make up the organs of the body, serving
  physical, metabolic and other specialized functions. Organogenesis' emphasis
  on the significance of cell science to tissue engineering has led not only to
  Apligraf/TM/ (formerly called Graftskin/TM/), but also has provided valuable
  experience for the future in such areas as:

<S>                                                <C>                    
  -  Cell sourcing                                 -  Transplantation immunology
  -  Specialized culture systems and media         -  Cell delivery and therapy design
  -  Human cell bank production                    -  Cryopreservation of complex tissues
  -  Cell safety screening and functional testing
</TABLE> 
            Organogenesis has established significant expertise in the areas of
  cell biology, cryopreservation technology and immunology.

            Cell Biology  Organogenesis has significant expertise in the science
            ------------                                                        
  of three-dimensional organotypic cell culture -- the ability to produce living
  cultures of cells with the properties and functions typical of the organ from
  which they were derived. For example, Apligraf/TM/ is a three-dimensional,
  organotypic skin product. This and other models (cornea) have provided
  important scientific findings on cell-to-cell interaction, cell and matrix
  interaction and extracellular matrix production.

            By employing its cell growth and organotypic culture technologies,
  Organogenesis has gained important knowledge of cell regulatory mechanisms and
  factors controlling cell growth and tissue formation which is anticipated to
  be broadly applicable to many cell types. Organogenesis is applying this
  expertise to the development of other cell-based products, including other
  living tissue products and other products based on difficult-to-culture cells.

                                       2
<PAGE>
 
            Cryopreservation Technology  Organogenesis has developed the ability
            ---------------------------                                         
  to cryopreserve (freeze) Apligraf/TM/ while maintaining greater than 90% cell
  viability.  This technology is anticipated to facilitate not only the
  international distribution of Apligraf/TM/, but also other cell therapies
  developed by Organogenesis.  The Company aggressively protects all aspects of
  its proprietary cryopreservation technology through a comprehensive patenting
  program and currently has four cryopreservation patents allowed or pending in
  the U.S. alone.

            Immunology  Immunology plays a critical role in tissue engineering
            ----------                                                        
  both in determining the body's reaction to a biomaterial and assisting in the
  transfer of human cells between individuals (allogeneic cells). Organogenesis
  has a strong in-house immunology department which supports both safety
  evaluation of its products and new product development.  Organogenesis also
  interacts with outside experts:  the Company has a collaboration with Boston
  Children's Hospital to further advance understanding of graft acceptance.

            The ability to transplant cells from one individual to another is
  important to the development and commercialization of manufactured tissues.
  For example, the cells used in Apligraf/TM/ are derived from infant foreskin
  tissue that would normally be discarded. Using proprietary cell culture
  technology, the cells from one postage stamp-sized piece of foreskin can yield
  up to 200,000 units of Apligraf/TM/.

            Immunological screening of Apligraf/TM/ recipients shows no evidence
  of immune response to the cell types used. These findings represent an
  important step for the clinical validation of the Apligraf/TM/ technology.
  Such studies also provide critical evidence to support the general concept of
  the immune compatibility of allogeneic cells and are anticipated to positively
  impact the future of cell therapy, transplantation and other areas of tissue
  engineering.

            CONNECTIVE TISSUE SCIENCES  Organogenesis has developed proprietary
  technology relating to the extracellular matrix; in particular, the ability to
  procure and utilize collagen in a manner which retains the physical and
  biological properties important to its interactions with living cells.
  Organogenesis' collagen has been shown to support cell growth and interaction
  in two settings:

        . When cells are added to Organogenesis' collagen during product
          manufacturing, the collagen supports cell growth, differentiation and
          interaction. This allows Organogenesis to develop products such as
          living tissue equivalents and other types of cell therapies.
          Apligraf/TM/ is an example of this use of Organogenesis' collagen.

        . When used as an implant by itself, Organogenesis' collagen helps
          foster and direct the ingrowth of the patient's cells and blood
          vessels. Over time, the recipient's body gradually replaces the
          implant's collagen with its own tissue to form a fully functional
          analog of the missing tissue using the implant as a guide.

     Organogenesis has product development programs related to both such uses of
  its collagen technology.


  PRODUCTS

       Organogenesis' product development focus includes living tissue
  replacements, organ assist treatments and guided tissue regeneration
  scaffolds.  The Company is also exploring additional opportunities relating to
  cell and gene therapy applications and to its cryopreservation technology.

       APLIGRAF/TM/

       Apligraf/TM/ (formerly called Graftskin/TM/) is a manufactured Human Skin
  Equivalent developed for the treatment of wounds, including chronic wounds,
  skin surgery wounds and burns. As discussed under "Collaborative Agreements,"
  Novartis AG has exclusive global Apligraf/TM/* marketing rights.


*Apligraf/TM/ is a trademark of Novartis

                                       4
<PAGE>
 
         Product Description

         Like human skin, Apligraf/TM/ is:
         ------------------------------

       . Bi-layered: Apligraf/TM/ has both layers of human skin - the upper
         epidermis and the lower dermis. Each plays an important role in the
         function of skin.

       . Living: The upper layer of Apligraf/TM/ is comprised of living human
         epidermal cells (keratinocytes); the lower layer consists of living
         human dermal cells (fibroblasts) in an organized dermal matrix. The
         cells in Apligraf/TM/ can interact with the wound bed and directly
         contribute to the wound healing process.

       . Organized: Under the microscope, Apligraf/TM/ shares the appearance
         of skin. Organogenesis' proprietary organotypic culturing technology
         enables the cells to reproduce their natural three-dimensional
         arrangement. For example, the keratinocytes in Apligraf/TM/ establish
         an outer stratum corneum layer, the primary protective layer of skin.

       . Natural: Apligraf/TM/ contains no synthetics and does not need to be
         removed.

       Apligraf/TM/ is multi-functional, like human skin. Its different
  components- the stratum corneum, the keratinocytes, the fibroblasts and the
  collagen matrix - can affect the wound healing process in different, but
  related, ways. Most importantly, these components can interact synergistically
  as they would in human skin. Apligraf/TM/ interacts with the wound bed in a
  way that provides flexibility of response and maximizes the chance for
  successful healing.

       Regulatory Status

       In 1995, the Company submitted to the United States Food and Drug
  Administration ("FDA") and the FDA accepted for filing, the Apligraf/TM/
  Premarket Approval Application ("PMA") for use in the treatment of venous
  ulcers.  The filing date for this PMA was October 4, 1995. The basis for this
  submission was the Apligraf/TM/ venous ulcer pivotal trial.  The FDA granted
  expedited review status to this PMA.  PMA applications with expedited review
  status are still subject to all other controls and requirements applicable to
  PMAs in the standard review process.  The Company interacts with the FDA on
  this PMA, and it is currently pending.

       International registration of Apligraf/TM/ is being pursued by Novartis,
  which has regulatory responsibility for the product outside the U.S.

       There can be no assurance of marketing approval for Apligraf/TM/ or that
  Apligraf/TM/ will be commercially successful.

       Potential Markets

       Potential uses identified to date include wounds that have been open for
  an extended period of time (chronic wounds), wounds created by skin surgery
  (clean surgical excision wounds) and wounds due to burns. As more physicians
  become familiar with Apligraf/TM/, additional uses continue to emerge.

                                       5

       CHRONIC WOUNDS
       --------------

       Globally, over 12 million people suffer from chronic wounds, including
  venous ulcers, diabetic ulcers and decubitus ulcers (pressure sores).
  Apligraf/TM/ clinical trials are completed, underway or planned in each of the
  major segments of this market.

       VENOUS ULCERS: An estimated 900,000-1.5 million patients in the U.S., 4
  million patients globally, suffer from venous ulcers.  These are generally
  considered to be the most difficult to heal of the chronic wounds, as they are
  associated with the greatest compromise of the patient's own wound healing
  ability. Many venous ulcer patients have had their wound for more than a year.
  Even when healing is achieved with traditional therapies, the process can take
  six months or longer.

       The Apligraf/TM/ venous ulcer pivotal trial was a prospective,
  randomized, controlled multi-center study. The primary endpoints were: (1)
  frequency of 100% wound closure and (2) time to 100% wound closure. In this
  trial, Apligraf/TM/ was shown to achieve 100% wound closure in more patients
  and to achieve it faster than multilayer compression therapy, standard care
  for venous ulcers. Apligraf/TM/ was found to be highly effective even in
  difficult-to-heal ulcers, such as ulcers of extended duration. Apligraf/TM/
  was found to have an excellent safety profile, with no sign of tissue
  rejection. Apligraf/TM/ was also found to provide biologic wound closure, able
  to contribute directly to the wound healing process. This is believed to be
  why Apligraf/TM/ can heal wounds that have remained open for long periods of
  time.
   .
       DIABETIC ULCERS:  Nearly 2 million people globally suffer from diabetic
  ulcers, which can frequently lead to amputation.  To address this need, in
  March 1996 Organogenesis initiated a prospective, randomized, controlled
  multi-center diabetic ulcer pivotal trial.  This trial is currently at patient
  recruitment stage.

       DECUBITUS ULCERS:  The decubitus ulcer market is large - over 6 million
  people globally suffer from these wounds - but it is difficult to penetrate as
  many of these patients receive inadequate medical care. Organogenesis feels it
  is important to provide effective treatments for these patients and
  anticipates initiating an Apligraf/TM/ decubitus ulcer pivotal trial in 1997.

       OTHER CHRONIC WOUNDS:  Additional opportunities for Apligraf/TM/ in non-
  healing wounds continue to be identified.  For example, clinicians have
  expressed an interest in studying Apligraf/TM/ in a variety of chronic
  inflammatory wounds.

       CLEAN SURGICAL EXCISION WOUNDS
       ------------------------------

       Approximately one million skin surgery procedures are performed annually
  on a global basis. Some of these procedures are for the removal of skin
  cancers, birthmarks and tattoos, while others are to harvest skin for use
  elsewhere on the body, such as in the treatment of burns. A number of patients
  undergoing such procedures could potentially benefit from Apligraf/TM/. In
  addition to these existing medical purposes, other potential uses for
  Apligraf/TM/ in surgically-created wounds continue to be identified, including
  plastic surgery applications and use in the treatment of localized skin
  abnormalities.

       Over one hundred patients have received Apligraf/TM/ for clean surgical
  excision wounds in its dermatological surgery and donor site clinical studies.
  The benefits provided by Apligraf/TM/ treatment can include immediate wound
  closure, resurfacing of the wound with epithelium, rapid healing and good
  cosmetic results.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
       BURN WOUNDS
       -----------

       Globally, an estimated 300,000 people visit the hospital for the
  treatment of burns each year. Approximately 10,000 of these people have burns
  over a large percentage of their body. While a number of dressings
  (synthetics, cadaver skin) can provide temporary protection, what is sought is
  permanent skin coverage. Data from the Apligraf/TM/ burn clinical study
  indicate that meshed Apligraf/TM/ over meshed autograft can function as a skin
  replacement, that Apligraf/TM/ can improve the functional and cosmetic
  properties of the damaged area and that it may also reduce the number of
  autograft procedures required.

       OTHER LIVING TISSUE PRODUCTS

       Organogenesis is using its expertise to develop a line of living tissue
  products for unmet medical needs -  products for external applications, such
  as wound repair and for other applications, such as surgical reconstruction,
  respiratory tract repair and oral surgery (e.g. periodontal procedures).  As
  part of this program, the Company is supporting research at Brigham and
  Women's Hospital on the biology of oral mucosa tissue.

 

       NEW CELL TECHNOLOGIES
       ---------------------

       In early 1996, Organogenesis formed a New Cell Technologies group focused
  on applying the Company's experience with difficult-to-culture cells to the
  development of cell and gene therapies for conditions which may be best
  treated with living cells.  This group leverages the Company's expertise in
  procuring, culturing, optimizing and cryopreserving mammalian cells.

       LIVER ASSIST DEVICE

       Liver disease is a leading cause of disease-related death in the U.S.,
  killing about 40,000 people each year.  Approximately 360,000 people in the
  U.S. have active liver disease, and millions more have medical conditions
  which can progress to severe disease.  Currently, liver transplantation is the
  only treatment for end-stage liver disease, as only liver cells (hepatocytes)
  can provide the necessary function.  Unfortunately, many patients die awaiting
  a transplant. One in four transplant recipients requires a second liver
  transplant due to deteriorated health.  In addition to organ availability
  issues, liver transplantation is also expensive: costing about $300,000 per
  procedure plus $10,000-$25,000 per year per transplant.

       The initial goal of the Organogenesis liver assist device (LAD) program
  is the development and commercialization of a device which would provide
  temporary support until either a transplant becomes available or the patient's
  own liver has recovered.  However, such a LAD could eventually be used to keep
  less seriously ill patients from deteriorating to end-stage disease.

       The challenge in developing a LAD is to optimize hepatocyte function
  within a medical device. Organogenesis brings to this program extensive
  experience with mammalian cells.  To augment its internal strengths,
  Organogenesis has entered into a collaboration with the Massachusetts General
  Hospital to secure complementary skills in liver physiology and device design.

                                       7

       PANCREATIC ISLET CELLS

       Organogenesis also has a research program directed at the culturing of
  pancreatic islet cells for the treatment of diabetes.  Use of islet cells for
  the treatment of diabetes may offer advantages over traditional, fixed dosing
  insulin delivery as islet cells can provide insulin in response to the levels
  of glucose in the blood.


       GUIDED TISSUE REGENERATION SCAFFOLDS
       ------------------------------------

       The cell compatibility of Organogenesis' collagen products makes them
  well-suited for applications requiring an implant which can serve not only the
  immediate physical function, but also can foster and direct the ingrowth of
  host cells.   Organogenesis has several guided tissue regeneration scaffold
  products in development.

       CARDIOVASCULAR SURGERY PRODUCTS
 
       Much of cardiovascular surgery is directed towards the repair or
  replacement of damaged blood vessels.  For example, each year, nearly 300,000
  coronary artery bypass procedures are performed in the U.S. alone, requiring
  an average of 3.5 bypass grafts per procedure.  Despite the size of this
  market, cardiovascular surgeons still rely on vein harvested from the patient
  for their graft material as traditional technologies have been unable to
  achieve comparable performance.

       Use of patient vein has its drawbacks: it varies in quality and
  availability; harvesting vein greatly extends the procedure's duration,
  increasing its cost; and the resultant second wound site increases post-
  surgical patient discomfort and complications. However, patient vein offers a
  feature not obtainable with synthetics: the ability to provide the critical
  strength while becoming populated with patient cells.

       Organogenesis is developing a ready-to-use small diameter graft to
  provide the performance of saphenous vein.  Organogenesis has shown
  encouraging findings in preclinical studies and its development is continuing.
  A goal of the Organogenesis cardiovascular program is to develop products for
  multiple cardiovascular surgery needs, including vascular support applications
  (e.g. stent grafts and wraps), peripheral revascularization procedures and
  coronary bypass grafting.

       UROLOGY
 
       About 25 million women worldwide suffer from urinary incontinence, of
  which nearly fifteen percent have intrinsic sphincter deficiency. Current
  treatment for this condition includes injecting material to support the
  sphincter.  One drawback to available products is that they tend to disperse,
  limiting their support.

       Organogenesis is applying its tissue engineering technology to the design
  and development of an injectable product which can retain position -
  supporting the sphincter - while becoming populated with the patient's own

  collagen, achieving permanence of benefit without permanence of product.

  COMPETITION

       The Company is engaged in the rapidly evolving and competitive field of
  tissue engineering. A number of pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical
  product companies in the United States and abroad are seeking to develop
  competitive products for the treatment of skin wounds and organ equivalent
  products. Competition from these companies and others is intense and is
  expected to increase. Many of these companies have substantially greater
  capital resources, research and development staffs and facilities and
  experience in the marketing and distribution of products than the Company. In
  addition, competitive companies are working on alternate approaches to many of
  the diseases targeted by the Company.

       The Company is currently aware of other companies which have or are
  planning to commercialize products intended to serve as skin replacements, in
  addition to several companies that concentrate on skin repair products. The
  Company's principal competitors in the wound care products market include
  Advanced Tissue Sciences, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Genzyme Tissue Repair, Integra
  Life Sciences,  Johnson & Johnson, Kendall, LifeCell and Smith & Nephew. The
  Company believes that its competitive position will be based on its ability to
  create and maintain scientifically advanced technology and proprietary
  products and processes, attract and retain qualified scientific personnel,
  obtain patent or other protection for its products and processes, obtain
  required government approvals on a timely basis, manufacture its products on a
  cost effective basis and successfully market its products.

  RETENTION OF KEY PERSONNEL

       Because of the specialized nature of the Company's business, the
  Company's success will depend, in large part, on its continued ability to
  attract and retain highly qualified scientific and business personnel and on
  its ability to develop and maintain relationships with leading research
  institutions. The competition for those relationships and for experienced
  scientists and management personnel that exists among the numerous
  biotechnology, pharmaceutical and healthcare companies, universities and
  nonprofit research institutions is intense.

  PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

       Organogenesis has a proprietary portfolio of patent rights and
  applications and exclusive licenses to patents and patent applications
  relating to living tissue products, organ assist treatments, guided tissue
  regeneration scaffolds and other aspects of tissue engineering.  These patent
  applications include patents relating to tissue sourcing, methods of
  preparation, cell culture technologies, sterilization technologies,
  manufacturing methods and living tissue cryopreservation.  The Company intends
  to continue to attempt to aggressively patent its technologies.

       The Company has fourteen issued patents in the U.S. alone.  The Company
  also aggressively attempts to achieve comparable patents in the major
  international markets for its products, particularly in Europe and Japan.
  Currently, the Company has seven pan-European patents issued, plus one which
  has achieved intent-to-grant status and five issued patents in Japan.

       Certain of the Company's technologies are licensed under an exclusive
  patent license agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology
  ("MIT"). The agreement with MIT (as amended, the "MIT Agreement") covers
  certain U.S. patents and corresponding patents in European and Far East
  countries. Pursuant to the MIT Agreement, the Company has been granted an
  exclusive, worldwide license to make, use and sell the products covered by the
  patents and to practice the procedures covered by the patents. The MIT
  Agreement requires the Company to pay to MIT a royalty on the cumulative net
  sales of licensed products ranging from 3% to 4.5% of annual Company sales.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
       The Company's other U.S. issued patents relate to: the Company's test
  system incorporating skin tissue equivalents and other organ equivalents; its
  proprietary collagen extraction process;  the invention and methods of making
  of dense fibrillar collagen (DFC) constructs; the production of an organ
  equivalent for the cornea and its method of production using tissue culturing
  systems; a method of making collagen thread; a method of cold chemical
  sterilization which maintains the cell-compatibility of the Company's
  collagen; methods for manufacturing living skin equivalents, including
  Apligraf/TM/; and a method of cryopreservation of cultured living tissue
  equivalents. As part of the continuing interest in protecting its intellectual
  property rights, the Company has also filed, and is prosecuting, over thirteen
  other patent applications in the United States alone.

       There can be no assurance that any patents will be issued as a result of
  the Company's patent applications or that issued patents will provide the
  Company with significant protection against competitors. Moreover, there can
  be no assurance that any patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not
  be infringed or that third parties will not independently develop either the
  same or similar technology.

       A portion of the Company's know-how and technology are trade secrets. To
  protect its rights, the Company requires key employees and consultants to
  maintain the confidentiality of the Company's proprietary information and the
  Company intends to require any corporate sponsor with which the Company enters
  into a collaborative research and development agreement to do so as well.
  There can be no assurance, however, that these agreements will provide
  meaningful protection for the Company's trade secrets, know-how or other
  proprietary information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure.

  GOVERNMENT REGULATION

       The Company's present and proposed activities are subject to government
  regulation in the United States and other countries. In order to clinically
  test, produce and market medical devices for human use, the Company must
  satisfy mandatory procedures and safety and efficacy requirements established
  by the FDA and comparable state and foreign regulatory agencies. Typically,
  such rules require that products be approved by the government agency as safe
  and effective for their intended use prior to being marketed. The approval
  process is expensive, time-consuming and subject to unanticipated delays, and
  no assurance can be given that any agency will grant its approval.

       Testing is necessary to determine safety and efficacy before a submission
  may be filed with the FDA to obtain authorization to market regulated
  products. In addition, the FDA imposes various requirements on manufacturers
  and sellers of products under its jurisdiction, such as labeling, good
  manufacturing practices, record keeping and reporting requirements. The FDA
  also may require post-marketing testing and surveillance programs to monitor a
  product's effects.

       As the Company develops products to the point where FDA authorization
  becomes required, there can be no assurance that the appropriate authorization
  will be granted, that the process to obtain such authorization will not be
  excessively expensive or lengthy or that the Company will have sufficient
  funds to pursue such approvals. Moreover, the failure to receive requisite
  authorization for the Company's products or processes, when and if developed,
  or significant delays in obtaining such authorization, would prevent the
  Company from commercializing its products as anticipated and may have a
  materially adverse effect on the business of the Company.

  PRODUCT LIABILITY AND AVAILABILITY OF INSURANCE

       The Company's business exposes it to potential liability risks that are
  inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of medical products. The
  use of the Company's product candidates in clinical trials may expose the
  Company to product liability claims and possible adverse publicity. These
  risks also exist with respect to the Company's product candidates, if any,
  that receive regulatory approval for commercial sale. The Company currently
  has limited product liability coverage for the clinical research use of its
  product candidates. The Company does not have product liability insurance for
  the commercial sale of its product candidates but intends to obtain such
  coverage if and when its products are commercialized. However, there can be no
  assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional insurance
  coverage at acceptable costs, if at all, or that a product liability claim
  would not have a material adverse affect on the business or financial
  condition of the Company.

  MANUFACTURING LIMITATIONS

       The Company has limited experience in the commercial manufacturing of
  medical device products.  The process of manufacturing the Company's products
  is complex, requiring strict adherence to manufacturing protocols.  The
  Company is producing its lead product, Apligraf/TM/, on a pilot-scale in
  adherence to these manufacturing protocols in quantities sufficient to meet
  clinical testing needs. However, the Company will need to transition from
  pilot-scale manufacturing to full-scale production of the Company's products
  and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to make this
  transition successfully.

       As the Company undertakes the manufacture of products on a commercial
  basis, it will be required to maintain a manufacturing facility in compliance
  with Good Manufacturing Practices. Manufacturing facilities and processes must
  pass an inspection before the FDA will issue any product licenses necessary to
  market medical therapeutics and are subject to continual review and periodic
  inspection. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
  manufacture any products successfully and in a cost effective manner. If the
  Company is unable to manufacture its potential products independently or
  obtain or retain third-party manufacturing on commercially acceptable terms,
  the submission of products for final regulatory approval and initiation of
  marketing would be delayed. This, in turn, may cause the Company to be unable
  to commercialize its product candidates as planned, which may have a material
  adverse effect on the Company.

  SOURCES OF SUPPLY

       The Company manufactures Apligraf/TM/ for use in clinical trials at its
  Canton, Massachusetts facility and intends to manufacture Apligraf/TM/ for
  commercial sale at that facility. Among the fundamental raw materials needed
  to manufacture Apligraf/TM/ are keratinocytes and fibroblasts. These cells are
  derived from donated infant foreskin; it is critical that the cells be
  pathogen free.  The Company does extensive testing of the cells for pathogens,
  including for the HIV or "AIDS" virus. However, there can be no assurance that
  additional cells of adequate purity can be created, or once created, that the
  cells derived from it will in fact be pathogen free.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
       Another major additional material required to produce the Company's
  products is collagen, a protein ordinarily obtained from animal source tissue
  by commercial suppliers. The Company has developed a proprietary method of
  procuring its own collagen. This process yields collagen which the Company
  believes is superior in quality and strength to collagen available from
  commercial sources and which provides the Company with a continuous, high-
  quality source of supply. The Company currently obtains its animal source
  tissue from U.S. suppliers only, as required by the U.S. Department of
  Agriculture ("USDA"); there is currently only one other USDA-approved country
  from which these materials may be purchased. There can be no assurance that
  the Company will be able to obtain adequate supplies of animal source tissue
  to meet its future needs or that the Company will be able to obtain such
  supplies on a cost effective basis.

       The thermo-formed tray assembly that is used in the manufacturing process
  of Apligraf/TM/ is available under a supply arrangement with only one FDA-
  approved manufacturing source. Because the FDA approval process requires
  manufacturers to specify their proposed materials of certain component parts
  in their applications, FDA approval of a new material would be required if a
  currently approved material became unavailable from a supplier. There can be
  no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain adequate supplies of
  thermo-formed tray assemblies to meet its future Apligraf/TM/ manufacturing
  needs or that the Company will be able to obtain such assemblies on a cost
  effective basis.

       There can be no assurance that interruptions in supplies will not occur
  in the future or that the Company will not have to obtain substitute vendors
  for these materials. Any significant supply interruption would adversely
  affect the Company's clinical trials or future large scale commercial
  manufacturing of Apligraf/TM/. In addition, an uncorrected impurity or
  suppliers variation in a raw material, either unknown to the Company or
  incompatible with the Company's manufacturing process, could have a material
  adverse effect on the Company's ability to manufacture its products.

  COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENTS

       In January 1996, the Company and Novartis AG ("Novartis"), formerly
  Sandoz Ltd. entered into an agreement granting Novartis exclusive global
  marketing rights to Apligraf/TM/. Under the agreement, Novartis is responsible
  for Apligraf/TM/ sales and marketing costs worldwide, as well as all clinical
  trials, registrations and patent costs outside the U.S. The Company will
  supply Novartis' global requirements for Apligraf/TM/ and will receive both a
  per unit manufacturing payment and royalty revenues on all product sales.
  Novartis has agreed to provide the Company up to $37,500,000 in equity
  investments, research support and milestone payments, of which $11,500,000 was
  received in 1996. The remaining payments will be received based upon
  achievement of specified events or dates.

       In 1995, the Company and Biomet, Inc. ("Biomet") mutually agreed to
  replace the prior research agreement with a supply arrangement under which
  Biomet may, but is not obligated to, purchase collagen from the Company. The
  Company recognized revenues under these agreements of approximately $19,000
  and $336,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. No
  significant revenues were recognized under this supply arrangement in 1996.

    In 1994, the Company signed a license agreement with Toyobo Ltd. ("Toyobo"),
  granting Toyobo a license to manufacture and market Testskin in Japan, in
  exchange for royalty payments to the Company.  The Company recognized royalty
  revenues under this agreement of approximately $42,000 for the year ended
  December 31, 1996.  No significant revenues were recognized under this
  agreement in 1995 and 1994.

  RESEARCH AND OTHER AGREEMENTS

    The agreements summarized below generally provide for funding over a limited
  period.  Each agreement is reviewed at least annually and the amounts to be
  funded for the next period are then determined.  Either party may cancel the
  agreement upon advance, written notice.

    In September 1996, the Company entered into a research agreement with the
  Children's Hospital of Boston related to graft acceptance.

    In June 1996, the Company announced that it had formed a research
  collaboration with the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) on the development
  of a liver assist device.

    In December 1995, the Company signed a research agreement with the Brigham
  and Women's Hospital focused on the biology of oral mucosa tissue.

    In March 1995, the Company's Subsidiary, ECM Pharma/TM/, signed a research
  agreement, with an option to negotiate a license, with Harvard Medical School
  to supplement research related to the discovery of extracellular matrix
  related therapeutics.

    During 1995, the Company agreed to fund certain work performed at the
  Connective Tissue Research Laboratory at Hebrew University.

  RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

       The Company plans to continue to focus its product development efforts on
  developing high quality cell therapy, matrix scaffold and other types of
  tissue engineered products in such areas as wound care, urology,
  cardiovascular medicine and general surgery.

       The Company's research and development staff consists of scientists and
  laboratory assistants with technical backgrounds in cell biology, matrix
  biology, cell culture, immunology, cryopreservation, molecular biology and
  clinical medicine.

       For 1996, 1995 and 1994, the Company's research and development expenses
  were $10,863,000, $9,272,000 and $8,219,000, respectively.

  ITEM 7    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL       
            CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

  The following discussions and other parts of this report which express
  "belief", "anticipation", "expectation", "plans", "future" or "intention" as
  well as other statements which are not  historical fact, are forward-looking
  statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act
  of 1995 and involve risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may
  differ significantly from the results discussed in these forward-looking
  statements. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not
  limited to, those discussed under "Liquidity and Capital Resources " and
  "Nature of Business" sections of  this report and those included in publicly
  available filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

  Results of Operations

  1996 Compared to 1995

    Total revenues for fiscal year 1996 were $7,527,000, compared to $627,000 in
  1995.  The increase was primarily due to research and development support
  payments of $6,500,000 received and recognized from Sandoz Ltd. (now Novartis
  AG).  Interest income increased to $985,000 for fiscal year 1996, compared to
  $608,000 in 1995.  The increase was primarily due to more cash being available
  from Novartis' equity investment and research and development support payments
  totaling $11,500,000 that were received in 1996.

    Research and development expenses increased to $10,863,000 for fiscal year
  1996 from $9,272,000 in 1995.  The increase was primarily due to personnel
  additions and activities supporting the Company's lead product, Apligraf/TM/,
  including: expanding Apligraf/TM/ operations; initiation of the diabetic ulcer
  pivotal trial; and supporting the premarket approval application for the
  treatment of venous ulcers, which is pending at the FDA.  The increase was
  also due to the Company's research collaborations with leading academic
  institutions and/or their faculty, including Brigham and Women's Hospital,
  Children's Hospital in Boston, Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts
  General Hospital, to further strengthen the product portfolio.  The Company
  expects to continue to expand Apligraf/TM/ operations and to advance the
  Company's product pipeline during 1997.

    General and administrative expenses increased slightly to $4,163,000 for
  fiscal year 1996 from $4,092,000 in 1995, primarily due to increased personnel
  and related costs; this increase was partially offset by cost reductions in
  other general and administrative related expenses.  The Company's net loss for
  fiscal year 1996 was $7,499,000, or $.53 per share, as compared with a net
  loss for fiscal year 1995 of $12,737,000, or $1.02 per share.

  1995 Compared to 1994

    Contract revenues during 1995 were $19,000, compared to $336,000 in 1994.
  The contract revenue was realized by the Company under a research agreement
  with Biomet, Inc. ("Biomet"), which was then replaced with a supply
  arrangement under which the Company sells collagen to Biomet. Interest income
  in 1995 was $608,000, compared to $660,000 in 1994.

                                       18
<PAGE>
 
    Research and development expenses increased to $9,272,000 in 1995 from
  $8,219,000 in 1994. The increase was primarily due to the Company's regulatory
  filing and expanding Apligraf/TM/ operations and related increases in
  resources in clinical research, cryobiology, quality assurance and process
  scale-up. The increase was also due in part to the Company establishing
  research collaborations with leading academic institutions and/or their
  faculty, including Harvard Medical School and Hebrew University, to further
  strengthen its product portfolio. General and administrative expenses
  increased to $4,092,000 in 1995 from $3,218,000 in 1994, primarily due to
  higher legal, consulting and other professional services resulting mainly from
  the 1995 public offering, the collaborative agreement with Novartis and
  support for the activity in research and development. The Company's net loss
  for 1995 was $12,737,000, or $1.02 per share, as compared with a net loss for
  1994 of $10,441,000, or $.91 per share.

  Liquidity and Capital Resources

    From inception, the Company has financed its operations substantially
  through private and public placements of equity securities, as well as receipt
  of research support and contract revenues, interest income from investments
  and, to a lesser extent, sale of products and receipt of royalties. Novartis
  has agreed to provide the Company up to $37,500,000 in equity investments,
  research support and milestone payments (See "Collaborative Agreements" under
  the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements), of which $11,500,000 was
  received in 1996. The remaining payments will be received based upon
  achievement of specified events or dates. In addition, Novartis and the
  Company are engaged in good-faith discussions regarding Novartis providing
  Organogenesis with a revolving line of credit to finance Organogensis'
  Apligraf/TM/-related expenditures through draw-downs of funds, in the event
  such draw-downs are necessary.

    The sale of equity securities and the exercise of warrants and stock options
  provided cash of approximately $8,117,000 and $16,586,000 in fiscal years 1996
  and 1995, respectively.

    At December 31, 1996, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments
  in the aggregate amount of $14,440,000 and working capital of $11,256,000,
  compared to $13,721,000 and $12,886,000, respectively, at December 31, 1995.
  The primary use of cash during fiscal year 1996 related to financing the
  Company's operating activities of $4,087,000 and investing in plant expansion.
  Capital expenditures increased significantly to $3,311,000 during fiscal year
  1996, from $319,000 in 1995, primarily due to the build-out of the current
  facilities to support Apligraf/TM/ manufacturing and the acquisition of
  laboratory equipment for expanded research and development programs.  The
  Company expects to continue to utilize funds at an increasing rate during 1997
  related to the continued expansion of Apligraf/TM/ operations and to the
  advancement of the Company's product pipeline.

    Facility expansion activities are expected to continue during 1997 as well.
  In the last quarter of 1996, the Company amended its existing facility lease
  for expanded space and leased additional warehouse and office space to enable
  more of its main facility to be dedicated to manufacturing related operations.
  The Company is also exploring the options available for a new facility for
  full-scale commercial production of products in the future, as well as a
  European distribution and/or manufacturing plant.

                                       19
<PAGE>
 
    These activities will require substantial additional financial resources
  before the Company can expect to realize a net profit from product sales.
  Based upon its current plans, the Company believes that the future funds from
  Novartis, together with existing working capital, will be sufficient to
  finance its operations for at least the next 12 months. However, the Company's
  funding requirements may change depending upon numerous factors, including
  progress of the Company's research and development programs; time required to
  obtain regulatory approvals; resources the Company devotes to self-funded
  projects, proprietary manufacturing methods and advanced technologies; and
  marketing approval of the Company's products and, if approved, whether the
  products will be commercially successful. There can be no assurances that
  additional funds will be available when required on terms acceptable to the
  Company. If adequate funds are not available, there could be a material
  adverse effect on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

                 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

  To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Organogenesis Inc.:

    We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of
  Organogenesis Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996
  and 1995, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows,
  and changes in stockholders' equity for each of the three years in the period
  ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of
  the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
  financial statements based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
  standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
  obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
  material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
  supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
  also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
  estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
  statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
  for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
  in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Organogenesis
  Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and
  the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the
  three years in the period ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with
  generally accepted accounting principles.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Nature of Business:

  Organogenesis Inc. (the "Company") designs, develops and manufactures medical
therapeutics containing living cells and/or natural connective tissue
components.  The Company's products are designed to promote the establishment
and growth of new tissues to restore, maintain or improve biological function.

  The Company has a wholly owned subsidiary, ECM Pharma/TM/, Inc. ("ECM
Pharma/TM/"). ECM Pharma/TM/ was established to discover, develop and
commercialize human therapeutics based on the extracellular matrix. The Company
also has a wholly owned investment subsidiary, Dan Capital Corporation, which
holds a substantial portion of the Company's cash, cash equivalents and
investments.

  The Company is subject to risks common to entities in the biotechnology
industry, including, but not limited to, development by the Company's
competitors of new technologies or products that are more effective than the
Company's, risks of failure of clinical trials, dependence on and retention of
key personnel, protection of proprietary technology, compliance with U.S. Food
and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulations and similar foreign regulatory
bodies, continued availability of raw material for the Company's products,
availability of product liability insurance upon commercialization of the
Company's products, ability to transition from pilot-scale manufacturing to
full-scale commercial production of products, ability to recover the investment
in property and equipment, uncertainty as to the availability of additional
capital on acceptable terms, if at all, and the demand for the Company's
products, if and when approved.

  The ultimate success of the Company is dependent upon its ability to raise
capital through equity placement, royalty and manufacturing payments, receipt of
contract revenue, sale of products, research and development funding under
licensing agreements and interest income on invested capital.  However, the
Company's funding requirements may change depending upon numerous factors,
including progress of the Company's research and development programs; time
required to obtain regulatory approvals; resources the Company devotes to self-
funded projects, proprietary manufacturing methods and advanced technologies;
and marketing approval of the Company's products and, if approved, whether the
products will be commercially successful.

  While management believes that future capital composed of equity investments,
milestone and research and development support payments, manufacturing payments
and royalty revenue will be sufficient to fund future operations, there can be
no assurances that these or any additional funds will be available when required
on terms acceptable to the Company.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 Principles of Consolidation

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All intercompany activity has been eliminated.

                                       27
<PAGE>
 
 Use of Estimates

  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 Revenue Recognition

  Research and development support revenue under the collaborative agreement
with Novartis is recognized as related expenses are incurred.  Contract revenues
under research and development agreements are recognized as the related efforts
are performed.  Deferred revenue arises from differences between cash received
and revenue recognized in accordance with these policies.  Royalty revenue is
recorded as earned.

 Research and Development Costs

  All research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 Patents

  As a result of the Company's research and development programs, the Company
has a proprietary portfolio of patent rights and patent applications for a
number of patents in the United States and abroad.  Such patent rights are of
significant importance to the Company to protect its products and processes.
For financial reporting purposes, all costs in connection with patent rights and
patent applications have been expensed as incurred.

 Income Taxes

  Research and development and other tax credits are recognized for financial
reporting purposes when they are realized.  Deferred taxes are determined based
on the difference between the financial reporting and the tax bases of assets
and liabilities using enacted income tax rates in effect in the years in which
the differences are expected to reverse.  Tax credits will be recorded as a
reduction in income taxes when utilized.

 Net Loss Per Common Share

  Net loss per common share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period.  Common share equivalents have not been
included because the effect would be antidilutive.

 Cash and Cash Equivalents

  Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and money market funds, which are
convertible into a known amount of cash and carry an insignificant risk of
change in value.  These investments are highly liquid and have original
maturities of less than three months.

                                       28
<PAGE>
 
Property and Equipment

  Equipment, furniture and fixtures, office equipment and leasehold improvements
are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over
three to ten years.  Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the term of the lease.

  Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred and betterments are
capitalized.  Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed of and their
related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.  Any resulting
gain or loss is credited or charged to operations.

 Construction-in-Progress

  At December 31, 1996, the Company had construction-in-progress of $1,902,000
due to the expansion of its current facilities.  The Company plans to equip the
facility in phases as necessary to satisfy its production requirements.
Depreciation will commence once the facilities and equipment are put into
service.

 Stock-Based Compensation

  During 1996, the Company adopted the disclosure provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123").  SFAS 123 allows the Company to continue to account
for its stock-based compensation arrangements under the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25")
and disclose in a footnote the pro forma effects to net loss and net loss per
share assuming the fair value accounting method of SFAS 123 was adopted.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in income from stock-based
employee awards.

 New Accounting Pronouncement

  In March 1995, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
Be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") was issued effective with fiscal years ending
December 31, 1996.  This standard establishes accounting standards for the
impairment of long-lived assets, including property and equipment, certain
identifiable intangibles and goodwill related to those assets.  SFAS 121 also
addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed.
SFAS 121 requires that long-lived assets and certain intangibles to be held and
used by an entity be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be
recoverable.  The adoption of SFAS 121 did not have an impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position or operating results.

 Reclassifications

  Certain reclassifications have been made to the fiscal years 1995 and 1994
financial statements to conform to the 1996 classifications.  These
reclassifications have no impact on the Company's results of operations or
financial position.

                                       29

Investments:

  The Company determines the appropriate classifications of debt securities at
the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet
date.  The investments held are classified as available-for-sale and are carried
at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair market value and,
accordingly, there was no adjustment to stockholders' equity.  The Company also
classifies its investments in accordance with their intended use.  At December
31, 1996, the intended use of all investments is to fund working capital.  The
Company invests its excess cash in securities that have an A or A1 rating or
better with a maximum maturity of two years.

   The aggregate cost and fair market value of investments are as follows (in
thousands):

  In July 1995, the Company completed a public offering of 230,000 units, at a
unit price of $66.25, resulting in the Company receiving net proceeds of
approximately $14,774,000.  Each unit in the offering consisted of five shares
of Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $15.90 per share.  The warrants are exercisable from October
14, 1996 through October 14, 2001 when the warrants expire.  At December 31,
1996, there were 287,500 warrants outstanding.  These warrants may be redeemed
by the Company for $.01 per warrant at any time after July 14, 1997 if the
Common Stock trades above $23.85 for thirty consecutive trading days.

  In August 1995, the Board of Directors declared a 25% stock dividend for
stockholders of record on September 1, 1995.  The stock dividend was payable on
September 8, 1995 and resulted in the issuance of approximately 2,654,000
additional shares of Common Stock.  All related data in the consolidated
financial statements reflect the stock dividend for all periods presented.

  In November 1991, the Company completed a public offering of 1,650,000 shares
of Common Stock.  This offering resulted in the Company receiving net proceeds
of approximately $36,144,000.  In connection with this offering, the underwriter
was issued a warrant to purchase 187,500 shares of Common Stock, exercisable at
any time during a four-year period.  During 1996, these warrants were exercised
for 187,500 shares of Common Stock resulting in proceeds of approximately
$1,828,000.

  In April 1991, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $924,000
from the sale of 125,000 shares of Common Stock and warrants to purchase Common
Stock exercisable at any time during a five-year period.  The warrants allow for
the purchase of 31,250 shares of Common Stock at $9.60 per share and 15,625
shares at $12.00 per share.  During 1996, these warrants were exercised for
46,875 shares of Common Stock, resulting in proceeds of $488,000.

Stockholder Rights Plan:

  In August 1995, the Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder Rights Plan and
declared a dividend of one Right for each outstanding share of Common Stock to
stockholders of record on September 1, 1995.  Each Right only becomes
exercisable and transferable apart from the Common Stock, at the earlier of (i)
10 days after a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of
the Company's outstanding Common Stock (the "Stock Acquisition Date") or (ii) 10
business days following an announcement of a tender or exchange offer of 30% or
more of the Company's outstanding stock.

  Initially, each Right, upon becoming exercisable, would entitle the holder to
purchase one-thousandth of a share of Series B Junior Participating Preferred
Stock at an exercise price of $85, subject to adjustment.  If a person or group
acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of Common
Stock, then each holder of a Right (other than Rights held by the acquiring
person or group) would have the right to receive that number of shares of Common
Stock which equals the exercise price of the Right divided by one-half of the
current market price of the Common Stock.

  The Rights may be redeemed by the Company for $0.01 per Right at any time
until the tenth day following the stock acquisition date.  The Rights will
expire on September 1, 2005.

  The effects on 1996 and 1995 pro forma net loss and net loss per share of
expensing the estimated fair value of stock options are not necessarily
representative of the effects on reporting pro forma results for future years as
the periods presented include only two and one years, respectively, of fair
value expense for options granted under the Stock Option Plans and because the
method prescribed by SFAS 123 has not been applied to options granted prior to
January 1, 1995.

  The weighted average fair value of options granted under the Stock Option
Plans was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the
following assumptions:

The Stock Option Plans:

  In May 1995, a stock option plan was approved by the Company's shareholders (
the "1995 Plan") providing for the issuance of up to 1,500,000 shares of Common
Stock options to enable the Company to attract and retain key employees and
consultants. Under the 1995 Plan, the Company may grant incentive and non-
qualified stock options to officers, employees, consultants and advisors to the
Company.  The 1995 Plan, which took effect upon the expiration of the 1986 Stock
Option Plan in August 1996, is administered by the Board of Directors or its
delegated Committee, which selects the individuals to whom options are granted
and determines (i) the type of option to be granted, (ii) the number of shares
of Common Stock covered by the option, (iii) when the option becomes
exercisable, and (iv) the duration of the option which, in the case of incentive
stock options, may not exceed ten years.  No one person may be issued options to
purchase more than 500,000 shares of Common Stock in any one calendar year.
Stock options granted under the 1995 Plan may not be granted at an exercise
price less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of
grant (or 110% of fair market value in the case of incentive stock options
granted to employees holding 10% or more of the voting stock of the Company).
The aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of shares
issuable pursuant to incentive stock options which first become exercisable in
any calendar year by an employee of the Company may not exceed $100,000.

                                       35
<PAGE>
 
  The Company's 1986 Stock Option Plan (the "1986 Plan") provided for the
issuance of an aggregate of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock for the granting of
incentive and non-qualified stock. The 1986 Plan was also administered by the
Board of Directors or its delegated Committee and had substantially the same
terms and conditions as described under the 1995 Plan.  In August 1996, the 1986
Plan terminated and no further grants were made.  All options outstanding on the
termination date remain in effect.

  In 1994, a stock option plan for non-employee directors was approved by the
Company's shareholders (the "1994 Director Plan").  Under the 1994 Director
Plan, stock options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock may be granted to non-employee directors of the Company.  The 1994
Director Plan provides that the option price per share be at fair market value
and vest ratably over a five-year period beginning one year from the date of
grant.

  The 1991 Director Stock Option Plan (the "1991 Director Plan") provided for
the granting of options to purchase 125,000 shares of Common Stock by non-
employee directors and terminated upon the adoption of the 1994 Director Plan.
The options were granted at fair market value and were immediately exercisable,
subject to repurchase by the Company, at the option price, in the event the
optionee ceased to be a director of the Company.  This repurchase right
terminates and the shares vest ratably over a five-year period beginning one
year from the date of grant.  All options outstanding on the termination date
remain in effect.

  In 1987, the Company granted to an Officer of the Company an option to
purchase 375,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.00 per share.
The shares have been reserved for issuance and are fully vested and exercisable.

for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994:

The 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan:

  Under the 1991 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Purchase Plan"), a total of
187,500 shares of Common Stock are reserved for issuance (up to 31,250 shares

granted or is exercised.  The term of this plan will end December 31, 1999.
During 1996 and 1995, the Company issued a total of 3,577 and 795 shares of
Common Stock, respectively, under this Purchase Plan.

Employee Savings Plan:

  In 1992, the Company instituted an employee savings plan under Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code.  All full-time employees with six months of
service are eligible to participate.  During 1996 and 1995, the Company
contributed approximately $41,000 and $36,000, respectively, under this Savings
Plan.
