                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                December 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)      Sale of the Direct Marketing Related Assets of the Natus Subsidiary

         During the quarter ended December 31, 1995 the Company recorded a loss
related to the pending sale of the direct marketing related assets of the Natus
Corporation subsidiary



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



Results of Operations

         Product sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 were $3,255,110 as
compared with $3,685,809 for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Product sales,
for the second quarter, decreased overall by 11.7% from the prior year. The net
decrease was the result of decreased medical tape product sales and decreased
therapeutic product sales partially offset by increased conductive product
sales. Conductive product sales, the Company's largest product group, increased
by 12.9% from the prior year while medical tape product sales decreased by 50.4%
and therapeutic product sales decreased by 5.6%. Conductive product sales
increased for both diagnostic and hydrogel products as a result of volume
increases and increased market share. The medical tape product sales decrease
was primarily due to the absence of a major tape converter order in the current
year as compared to the prior year. The therapeutic product sales decrease was
primarily the result of decreased direct marketing sales of Natus. Product sales
for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $6,717,561 as compared with
$6,590,332 for the first six months of fiscal 1995. Product sales, for the first
six months, increased by 1.9% from the prior year as a result of increased
conductive product sales and therapeutic product sales which were partially
offset by decreased medical tape product sales. Conductive product sales
increased by 5.2% from the prior year primarily as a result of volume increases
and increased market share. Medical tape product sales decreased by 10.0%
primarily due to the absence of a major tape converter order in the current year
as compared to the prior year which more than offset increased sales due to a
new product offering and sales to a major new retail customer. Therapeutic
product sales increased 10.1% from the prior year primarily due to increased
analgesic pain patch sales.

         Gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was $1,297,653 as
compared with $1,305,547 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Gross
profit as a percent of total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1996 was
39.9% as compared to 35.4% for the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The increase
in gross profit percent for the quarter was primarily a reflection of a shift in
the sales mix to the higher margin conductive products and an improvement in
therapeutic product margins which were partially offset by increased raw
material costs for all products. Gross profit for the first six months of fiscal
1996 was $2,636,857 as compared with $2,652,856 compared to the first six months
of fiscal 1995. Gross profit as a percent of total revenues for the first six
months of fiscal 1996 was 39.3% as compared to 40.3% for the first six months of
fiscal 1995. The decrease in gross profit percent for the first six months was
primarily due to increased raw material costs for all products which were
partially offset by a shift in the sales mix to the higher margin conductive and
therapeutic products.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,468,050 and
$884,880 during the second quarters of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995,
respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second
quarters of fiscal 1996 and 1995, as a percentage of total revenues, were 45.1%
and 24.0%, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses were
$2,409,540 and $1,673,975 during the first six months of fiscal 1996 and fiscal
1995, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first
six months of fiscal 1996 and 1995, as a percentage of total revenues, were
35.9% and 25.4%, respectively. Increased selling, general and administrative
expenses associated with the operations of the Natus subsidiary and the sale of
the direct marketing related assets of the Natus subsidiary were primarily
responsible for the increase in both the second quarter and the first six
months.

         Research and development expenses for the second quarters of fiscal
1996 and 1995 were $503,518 and $411,151, respectively. Research and development
expenses for the second quarter, as a percentage of total revenues, were 15.5%
and 11.2% for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. Research and development
expenses for the first six months of fiscal 1996 increased to $1,014,551 from
$888,372 in fiscal 1995. Research and development expenses for the first six
months, as a percentage of total revenues, were 15.1% and 13.5% for fiscal 1996
and 1995, respectively. The increase in expense for both the quarter and the
first six months is primarily attributable to the research and development costs
associated with the non-nicotine smoking cessation product and the pain patch
program.

         Other income (expense) decreased in the second quarter of fiscal 1996
to $10,304 from $26,928 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. Other income
(expense) decreased in the first six months of fiscal 1996 to $29,258 from
$49,930 in the first six months of fiscal 1995. The decline in both the second
quarter and the first six months resulted primarily from a reduction of interest
and dividend income due to the liquidation of short-term investments to finance
the acquisition of a new therapeutic production line as well as to finance the
losses associated with the Natus subsidiary.

         The Company had a loss before income tax expense of $663,611 in the
second quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to earnings before income tax expense of
$36,444 in the second quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company had a loss before
income tax expense of $757,976 in the first six months of fiscal 1996 compared
to earnings before income tax expense of $140,439 in the first six months of
fiscal 1995. The decrease in earnings before income taxes for the second quarter
and the first six months was primarily the result of the loss on the sale of the
direct marketing related assets of the Natus subsidiary, the operating loss and
parent Company expenses associated with the direct marketing activities of the
Natus subsidiary, increased raw material costs for products sold and increased
research and development expense.

         The Company did not record a tax benefit in connection with losses
generated during the second quarter and year-to-date as the losses relate
primarily to the Natus subsidiary. The Natus losses can not be utilized by
LecTec at this time.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company has used internally generated cash to support growth and
capital spending. The Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit available to meet
current operating requirements. The Company estimates that capital expenditures
will approach $500,000 for equipment and capital improvements during fiscal 1996
with expenditures anticipated to be financed by operations. The Company
continues to have a strong Balance Sheet with no long-term debt and a current
ratio at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1996 of 2.99 as compared to
4.34 at the end of fiscal 1995. Working capital, at the end of the second
quarter of fiscal 1996, decreased to $3,422,665 from $4,490,796 at the end of
fiscal 1995.
