                       LECTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                               September 30, 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 sixty-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) Increase in Ownership Interest in Pharmadyne Subsidiary

              On September 5, 1996 the Company exercised a warrant received
during fiscal 1996 to purchase 227,959 additional shares of Pharmadyne
Corporation at $1 per share. This increased the Company's ownership interest in
Pharmadyne Corporation from 51% to 61%.

(3) Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

              The Company implemented Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," effective July 1, 1996. SFAS 121
establishes guidance for when to recognize and how to measure impairment losses
of long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles, and how to value
long-lived assets to be disposed of. The adoption of this Standard did not have
a material effect on the Company's financial position.

              Additionally, the Company implemented SFAS 123 "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation," which established financial accounting and reporting
standards for stock-based employee compensation plans. This Statement defines
and encourages the use of a fair value based method of accounting for an
employee stock option or similar equity instrument. The Statement allows the use
of the intrinsic value based method of accounting as prescribed by current
existing accounting standards for options issued to employees. The Company
adopted this Standard effective July 1, 1996, and management has elected to
utilize the intrinsic value based method of accounting for stock-based
compensation.



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


Results of Operations

              Sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 were $2,973,483 as
compared with $3,462,451 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Sales for the
first quarter decreased overall by 14.1% from the prior year. The decrease was
primarily the result of the absence of Pharmadyne Corporation direct marketing
related sales due to the divestiture of the direct marketing related assets in
the third quarter of fiscal 1996. Conductive sales, the Company's largest
product group, increased by 12.9% from the prior year while medical tape sales
decreased by 27.5% and therapeutic sales decreased 61.8%. Conductive sales
increased for both diagnostic and hydrogel products as a result of volume
increases. The medical tape sales decrease was primarily due to volume decreases
which more than offset sales to several new customers. The therapeutic sales
decrease was primarily the result of the absence of direct marketing related
sales.

      Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was $1,075,089 as
compared to $1,339,204 for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. Gross profit as a
percent of sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1997 was 36.2% as compared to
38.7% for the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The decrease in gross profit percent
for the quarter was primarily the result of the absence of higher margin direct
marketing related sales.

              Selling, general and administrative expenses were $553,216 and
$941,490 during the first quarters of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first quarters of fiscal
1997 and 1996, as a percentage of sales, were 18.6% and 27.2%, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced primarily due to the
absence of expenses associated with the direct marketing operations of the
Pharmadyne subsidiary.

              Research and development expenses for the first quarters of fiscal
1997 and 1996 were $500,202 and $511,033, respectively. Research and development
expenses for the first quarter, as a percentage of sales, were 16.8% and 14.8%
for fiscal 1997 and 1996, respectively.

              Other income (expense) increased in the first quarter of fiscal
1997 to $39,957 from $18,954 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase
resulted primarily from a gain incurred on the sale of equipment.

              The Company had earnings before income taxes and equity in losses
of unconsolidated subsidiary of $39,957 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to a loss of $94,365 in the first quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase
in earnings before income taxes for the quarter was primarily the result of the
absence of the losses from the direct selling operations of the Pharmadyne
subsidiary.

              Income tax expense was $1,403 and $1,001 during the first quarters
of fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996 respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 1997
there was minimal income tax expense because of the utilization of NOL
carryforwards. In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, there was no income tax
benefit because of subsidiary losses that could not be utilized.

              On March 12, 1996, the Company contributed the direct marketing
related assets of Pharmadyne Corporation to Natus L.L.C. (an Arizona limited
liability company) in exchange for a 15% interest in Natus L.L.C. During the
first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company's pro-rata share of Natus L.L.C.'s net
loss (based on a 15% equity ownership position) totaled $22,841.

              Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company as it
has generally been able to adjust its selling prices as the costs of materials
and other expenses have changed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

              Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $356,762 to $443,931 during
the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Long-term investments increased by $1,308 to
$576,114 during the first quarter of fiscal 1997. Capital spending for various
equipment totaled $34,175 during the first quarter. There were no material
commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 1996.

              Working capital, at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1997,
increased to $4,569,680 from $4,240,024 at the end of fiscal 1996. The Company
has a current ratio at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 1997 of 5.01 as
compared to 4.51 at the end of fiscal 1996.

              The Company is free of long-term debt, and has a $1,000,000
annually renewable revolving line of credit for meeting current operating
requirements. There were no outstanding amounts on this short-term facility at
September 30, 1996. Shareholders' equity increased by $123,412 to $11,058,757
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

              Management believes that internally-generated cash and the
existing short-term credit line will be sufficient for supporting anticipated
growth and capital spending requirements for the remainder of fiscal 1997.

              Statements about the remaining fiscal 1997 outlook are
forward-looking and, therefore, involve certain risks and uncertainties,
including but not limited to: buying patterns of customers, competitive forces
and other factors detailed from time to time in filings with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
