                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                                 March 31, 1996



(1)   General

     The accompanying  consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
LecTec  Corporation  (the  "Company"),   LecTec  International   Corporation,  a
wholly-owned subsidiary,  and Pharmadyne Corporation,  a fifty-one percent owned
subsidiary(formerly Natus Corporation which was renamed Pharmadyne Corporation).
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 Pharmadyne Subsidiary

     During the quarter  ended March 31, 1996 the Company  completed the sale of
the direct marketing related assets of the Pharmadyne Corporation subsidiary.


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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Product  sales for the third  quarter  of fiscal  1996 were  $3,812,332  as
compared with  $4,232,402  for the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Product sales,
for the third  quarter,  decreased  overall by 9.9% 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 15.2% from the prior year while medical tape product sales decreased by 14.5%
and  therapeutic  product  sales  decreased by 44.6%.  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 brand named
products,  reductions  in pain patch  media sales and  decreased  sales of other
therapeutic  products.  Product  sales for the first nine  months of fiscal 1996
were  $10,529,893  as  compared  with  $10,822,734  for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995.  Product sales,  for the first nine months,  decreased by 2.7% from
the  prior  year as a  result  of  decreased  medical  tape  product  sales  and
therapeutic  product  sales  partially  offset by increased  conductive  product
sales.  Conductive product sales increased by 8.6% from the prior year primarily
as a result of volume increases and increased market share. Medical tape product
sales  decreased by 11.8% 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 decreased 16.6% from the prior year due to
decreased  direct  marketing  sales of Natus brand named products as a result of
the sale of the direct  marketing  related assets of the Pharmadyne  subsidiary,
decreased  pain  patch  media  sales  volumes  and  decreased   sales  of  other
therapeutic products.

     Gross  profit  for the third  quarter  of  fiscal  1996 was  $1,472,905  as
compared with  $1,734,732  compared to the third  quarter of fiscal 1995.  Gross
profit as a percent of total  revenues for the third  quarter of fiscal 1996 was
38.6% as compared to 41.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. The decrease in
gross  profit  percent for the third  quarter  was  primarily  a  reflection  of
decreased  sales of higher  margin  therapeutic  products.  Gross profit for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996 was  $4,109,762  as  compared  with  $4,387,588
compared to the first nine months of fiscal  1995.  Gross profit as a percent of
total revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 was 39.0% as compared to
40.5% for the first nine months of fiscal  1995.  The  decrease in gross  profit
percent for the first nine months was primarily due to decreased sales of higher
margin  therapeutic  products as well as increased  raw  material  costs for all
products.

     Selling,  general and administrative  expenses were $803,230 and $1,034,310
during the third quarters of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively. Selling,
general and  administrative  expenses for the third  quarters of fiscal 1996 and
1995, as a percentage  of total  revenues,  were 21.1% and 24.4%,  respectively.
Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were  $3,212,770  and $2,708,480
during  the first nine  months of fiscal  1996 and  fiscal  1995,  respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal
1996 and  1995,  as a  percentage  of total  revenues,  were  30.5%  and  25.0%,
respectively.  Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter
were reduced  primarily due to  completion  of the sale of the direct  marketing
related  assets of the Pharmadyne  subsidiary.  Increased  selling,  general and
administrative  expenses  associated  with  the  operations  of  the  Pharmadyne
subsidiary  and the expenses  associated  with the sale of the direct  marketing
related assets of the Pharmadyne  subsidiary were primarily  responsible for the
increase in the first nine months.

     Research and development expenses for the third quarters of fiscal 1996 and
1995 were $531,675 and $449,235, respectively. Research and development expenses
for the third quarter,  as a percentage of total revenues,  were 14.0% and 10.6%
for fiscal 1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Research and development  expenses for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996 increased to $1,546,226  from $1,337,607 in
fiscal 1995.  Research and development  expenses for the first nine months, as a
percentage  of total  revenues,  were 14.7% and 12.4% for fiscal  1996 and 1995,
respectively.  The increase in expense for both the third  quarter and the first
nine 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 third  quarter of fiscal 1996 to
$6,480 from $15,572 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995.  Other income (expense)
decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to $35,738 from $65,697 in the
first nine months of fiscal 1995.  The decline in both the third quarter and the
first nine 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  products production line as well as to finance
the losses associated with the Pharmadyne subsidiary.

     The Company had earnings before income tax expense of $144,480 in the third
quarter of fiscal  1996  compared  to  earnings  before  income  tax  expense of
$266,759  in the third  quarter of fiscal  1995.  The  Company had a loss before
income tax expense of $613,496 in the first nine months of fiscal 1996  compared
to  earnings  before  income tax expense of $407,198 in the first nine months of
fiscal 1995. The decrease in earnings  before income taxes for the third quarter
and the first nine  months was  primarily  the result of the loss on the sale of
the direct marketing related assets of the Pharmadyne subsidiary,  the operating
loss and parent Company expenses associated with the direct marketing activities
of the Pharmadyne subsidiary and increased research and development expense.

     The  Company  did not  record  a tax  benefit  in  connection  with  losses
generated  during the first nine months as the losses  relate  primarily  to the
Pharmadyne subsidiary and cannot be utilized by the Company 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 $400,000 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 third quarter of fiscal 1996 of 3.24 as compared to 4.34
at the end of fiscal 1995.  Working capital,  at the end of the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, decreased to $3,873,170 from $4,490,796 at the end of fiscal 1995.
