                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1995



(1)   General

              The accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements  include the
accounts  of  LecTec   Corporation   (the   "Company"),   LecTec   International
Corporation,  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary,  and Natus  Corporation,  a fifty-one
percent owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been  eliminated in  consolidation.  The interim  financial  statements are
unaudited  and in the  opinion of  management,  reflect all  adjustments  (which
consist only of adjustments of a normal recurring  nature)  necessary for a fair
presentation of results for the periods  presented.  Results for interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of results for the year.

(2)   Stock Dividend

              During  June  1994,  the Board of  Directors  declared  a 5% stock
dividend payable to shareholders of record as of July 15, 1994 which was paid on
July 29, 1994. The weighted average number of common shares  outstanding for all
periods  presented has been  retroactively  adjusted to give effect to the stock
dividends.

(3)   Natus Corporation

              The  Company  began  consolidating  Natus'  results of  operations
effective  April 1, 1994.  The Company has restated the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements  to reflect  Natus,  using the  equity  method,  for all fiscal  1994
quarters prior to April 1, 1994.

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

Results of Operations

              Product sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 were $4,232,402
as compared with  $2,252,783  for fiscal 1994.  Product sales for the first nine
months of fiscal 1995 were  $10,822,734  as compared with  $7,849,547 for fiscal
1994.  Product  sales,  for the third  quarter,  increased by 87.9%,  reflecting
growth in all product  groups over the same  period of fiscal  1994.  Conductive
products,  the Company's largest product group, increased by 26.4% over the same
period of last year.  Medical tape sales increased  101.1%  primarily due to the
receipt of a major tape converter order. Therapeutic product sales experienced a
382.8%  increase  over the same  period last year,  mainly due to the  increased
sales of the analgesic patch through Natus  Corporation.  Product sales, for the
first nine  months,  increased  by 37.9% as  compared  to the first nine  months
period of fiscal 1994, primarily as a result of the growth in our Conductive and
Therapeutic  product  groups plus the inclusion of sales of non analgesic  patch
Natus products.

              The  Company  had no  contract  research  revenues  for the  third
quarter of fiscal 1995 or the first nine months of fiscal 1995.  In fiscal 1994,
the Company had no contract  research revenues for the third quarter and $15,275
for the nine months period.

              Gross profit as a percent of total  revenues for the third quarter
of fiscal 1995 was 41.0% as  compared  to 33.9% for the third  quarter of fiscal
1994. For the first nine months, gross profit as a percent of total revenues was
40.5% in fiscal 1995 and 38.0% in fiscal  1994.  The  increase  in gross  profit
percent  for the  quarter  and first  nine  months  reflects  the  impact of the
consolidation of higher margin Natus product sales with LecTec.

              Selling,  general,  and  administrative  expenses  for  the  third
quarter, as a percentage of total revenues, were 24.4% and 18.6% for fiscal 1995
and 1994,  respectively.  For the  first  nine  months,  selling,  general,  and
administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, were 25.0% and 15.0%
for fiscal 1995 and 1994, respectively. The increase in expenses for fiscal 1995
for the  three  month  and nine  month  periods  are  primarily  related  to the
consolidation  of Natus with LecTec for fiscal 1995,  the higher  selling  costs
associated  with the Natus  direct  selling  organization  and the  inclusion of
goodwill amortization related to the acquisition of Natus Corporation.

              Research  and  development  expenses for the third  quarter,  as a
percentage  of total  revenues,  were 10.6% and 15.5% for fiscal  1995 and 1994,
respectively.  Actual expenses for the third quarter of fiscal 1995 increased to
$449,235  from  $349,385  in 1994.  For the  first  nine  months,  research  and
development  expenses  as a percent  of total  revenues,  were  12.4% and 13.1%,
respectively. Actual expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 increased
to $1,337,607  from  $1,032,133  in 1994.  LecTec has been  aggressively  moving
forward with the research and  development of a non-nicotine  active  ingredient
for alleviating symptoms of tobacco withdrawal.  The Company completed the Phase
I clinical  trials during the fourth  quarter of fiscal 1994. Due to encouraging
findings on safety and toxicity levels, plus preliminary indications of efficacy
from the initial  clinical trials,  the Company  commenced the Phase II clinical
study in September 1994. In December 1994, McNeil Consumer Products,  a division
of Johnson & Johnson,  decided  not to exercise  its option to proceed  with the
research,  development  and licensing  agreement  previously  signed with LecTec
Corporation,  thereby  relinquishing  all  licensing  agreement  rights  to  the
non-nicotine  smoking cessation product.  The McNeil action provides LecTec with
the  opportunity  to establish a new marketing  alliance under which the Company
retains  maximum rights to the product.  In March,  1995,  the Company  released
preliminary  findings from an ongoing study by the Addiction  Research Center of
the National  Institute of Drug Abuse which found that the non-nicotine  smoking
cessation product has a very low potential for  addictiveness.  Furthermore,  in
April, 1995, the Company announced completion of the Phase II clinical study and
results which indicate the non-nicotine smoking cessation product has been found
to be effective at assisting smokers to quit by alleviating  tobacco  withdrawal
symptoms.  The  Company  has  a  strategy  of  developing  therapeutic  products
internally through clinical trials to market-ready status.  Although the Company
will continue to seek strong  partners to market selected  therapeutic  products
and help defray  development  costs,  this in-house  strategy  permits LecTec to
negotiate  with  potential  partners  from a position of  strength.  The Company
anticipates  research and development expenses will continue in the range of 10%
to 15% of revenues.  The Company will also continue  product  development in the
Conductive and Medical Tape product groups.

              Other income  (expense)  decreased in the third  quarter of fiscal
1995 to  $15,572  from  $22,471  in the  third  quarter  of 1994.  Other  income
(expense)  for the first nine months of fiscal 1995  decreased  to $65,697  from
$115,043  in the same  period of fiscal  1994.  The  decline  resulted  from the
liquidation  of  short-term  investments  to finance  the  acquisition  of a new
medical tape  production  line and a new  therapeutic  production  line plus the
increases  in  receivables  and  inventory  necessary  to  support  the  growing
business.

              Earnings   before   income   taxes   and   equity   in  losses  of
unconsolidated subsidiary for the third quarter, as a percent of total revenues,
increased  from 0.8% in  fiscal  1994 to 6.3% in fiscal  1995.  Earnings  before
income  taxes and equity in losses of  unconsolidated  subsidiary  for the third
quarter were $17,234 and $266,759 in 1994 and 1995, respectively.  For the first
nine months earnings before income taxes and equity in losses of  unconsolidated
subsidiary as a percent of total revenues decreased from 11.3% in fiscal 1994 to
3.8% in fiscal  1995.  Earnings  before  income  taxes  and  equity in losses of
unconsolidated  subsidiary  for the first nine months were $887,610 and $407,198
in 1994 and 1995, respectively. The increase in earnings before income taxes and
equity in losses of unconsolidated  subsidiary for the quarter was the result of
increased sales, the inclusion of Natus  Corporation sales and increased margins
which  were  offset  to a  lesser  degree  by  increased  selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  associated with the inclusion of Natus Corporation and
increased  research and  development  expenses.  The decrease in earnings before
income  taxes and  equity in losses of  unconsolidated  subsidiary  for the nine
months was the result of significantly  reduced margins on medical tape plus the
increased  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  associated  with the
inclusion of Natus Corporation and increased research and development expenses.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

              The Company has used  internally  generated cash to support growth
and capital spending. The Company continues to have an unused $1,000,000 line of
credit available to meet current operating  requirements.  The Company estimates
that capital  expenditures  will exceed  $1,300,000  for  equipment  and capital
improvements  during fiscal 1995. The Company continues to have a strong Balance
Sheet with no long term debt and a current ratio at the end of the third quarter
of  fiscal  1995 of 3.79 as  compared  to 7.45 at the end of the same  period of
1994. Working capital, at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1995, decreased
to $4,401,270 from $5,957,622 at the end of the same period of fiscal 1994.
