                       LECTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999
                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)   GENERAL

              The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of LecTec Corporation (the "Company") and LecTec International
Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary which was dissolved and merged into
LecTec Corporation on December 31, 1999. All significant intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company's financial
statements for the three months ended September 30, 2000 should be read in
conjunction with its Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Annual Report to
Shareholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The interim financial
statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, reflect all
adjustments 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)   NET LOSS

              The Company's basic net loss per share amounts have been computed
by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common
shares. The Company's diluted net loss per share amounts have been computed by
dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares
and common share equivalents, when dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase
995,780 and 1,142,883 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise
price of $5.75 and $6.48 were outstanding during the three months ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999, but were excluded because they were antidilutive.

(3)   COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

              For the quarter ended September 30, 2000 there were no items which
the Company is required to recognize as components of comprehensive income
(loss), therefore comprehensive loss was the same as net loss.

(4)   SEGMENTS

              The Company operates its business in one reportable segment - the
manufacture and sale of products based on advanced skin interface technologies.
Each of the Company's major product lines has similar economic characteristics,
technology, manufacturing processes, and regulatory environments. Customers and
distribution and marketing strategies vary within major product lines as well as
overlap between major product lines. The Company's executive decision makers
evaluate sales performance based on the total sales of each major product line
and profitability on a total company basis, due to shared infrastructures, to
make operating and strategic decisions. Net sales by major product line were as
follows:

                                        Three months ended September 30,
                                           2000                 1999
                                        ----------           ----------

     Therapeutic consumer products      $2,484,483           $  863,179
     Conductive products                 1,550,645            1,576,783
     Medical tape products                 153,766              568,790
                                        ----------           ----------

                                        $4,188,894           $3,008,752

(5)   NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK

              In November 1999, the Company entered into a secured line of
credit with a maximum borrowing of $2,000,000. In September 2000, the line of
credit was increased to allow borrowing of up to $2,800,000. The credit
agreement expires in November 2001 and includes interest computed at the prime
rate plus three percentage points. The line of credit is secured by the
Company's receivables, inventory and equipment. Borrowings outstanding on the
line of credit as of September 30, 2000, were $708,697. The credit agreement
contains certain restrictive covenants which require the Company to maintain,
among other things, specified levels of net worth and not to exceed specified
cumulative losses. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of
September 30, 2000.

(6)   STOCK REPURCHASE PROGRAM

              In April 1998, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a stock
repurchase program pursuant to which up to 500,000 shares, or approximately
12.9% of the Company's outstanding common stock, may be repurchased. The shares
may be purchased from time to time through open market transactions, block
purchases, tender offers, or in privately negotiated transactions. The total
consideration for all shares repurchased under this program cannot exceed
$2,000,000. During the quarters ended September 30, 2000 and September 30, 1999
no shares were repurchased.

(7)   INCOME TAXES

              The provision for income tax expense for the three months ended
September 30, 2000, has been offset principally by a valuation allowance for
deferred taxes.

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

QUARTERS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      Net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 were $4,188,894 compared to
net sales of $3,008,752 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, an increase of
39.2%. The increase was primarily the result of increased therapeutic consumer
product sales which more than offset decreased medical tape sales. Therapeutic
consumer product sales increased by 187.8% from $863,179 to $2,484,483 while
conductive product sales decreased by 1.7% and medical tape product sales
decreased by 73.0%. The therapeutic consumer product sales increase was
primarily the result of sales of the new acne product to Johnson & Johnson
Consumer Products Worldwide as well as initial sales of the new vapor product to
Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. The decrease in medical tape product sales was
primarily due to a plan adopted by the Company at the end of fiscal 2000 to exit
the medical tape business. The Company expects minimal tape sales in the
remainder of fiscal 2001 as remaining inventories are liquidated.

         Gross profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was $1,634,031
compared to $939,281 for the first quarter of fiscal 2000, an increase of 74.0%.
Gross profit as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was
39.0% compared to 31.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The increase in
gross profit for the quarter resulted primarily from increased sales volume, the
favorable impact of a change in the sales mix toward higher-margin therapeutic
consumer products, and the decrease in tape sales related to the Company's plan
to exit the medical tape business. These items more than offset increased labor
costs in the current quarter caused primarily by increased staffing levels,
increased contract and temporary labor, and increased overtime related to the
production of therapeutic patch products.

         Sales and marketing expenses were $1,202,339 and $735,045 during the
first quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000, and as a percentage of net sales, were
28.7% and 24.4%. The increase in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter
was primarily due to increased media advertising expenses related to a TV ad
campaign for a TheraPatch product. The Company anticipates that sales and
marketing expenses as a percent of sales for the remainder of fiscal 2001 will
be comparable to the first quarter of fiscal 2001 due to marketing programs
associated with the TheraPatch product line.

         General and administrative expenses were $778,698 and $559,090 during
the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000, and as a percentage of net sales,
were 18.6% and 18.6%. The Company anticipates that general and administrative
expenses as a percent of sales for the remainder of fiscal 2001 will be
comparable to the first quarter of fiscal 2001.

         Research and development expenses for the first quarters of fiscal 2001
and 2000 were $215,866 and $269,762, and as a percentage of net sales, were 5.2%
and 9.0%. The Company anticipates that research and development expenses as a
percent of sales for the remainder of fiscal 2001 will increase due to increased
costs associated with testing of products under development.

         Interest expense for in the first quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were
$32,791 and $1,084. The increase resulted primarily from interest expense
associated with increased borrowings under the line of credit. Other income
(expense), decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 to net expense of
$2,238 from other income of $22,416 in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The
decrease was primarily the result of decreased interest income due to lower cash
and cash equivalent balances.

         The Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $597,901 in the
first quarter of fiscal 2001 compared to a loss before income taxes of $603,282
for the first quarter of fiscal 2000. The slight decrease in loss for the
current year first quarter was primarily the result of increased gross profit
that resulted from increased sales volume, a shift in the sales mix toward
higher-margin therapeutic consumer


                                     I - 7
<PAGE>


products and the exit from the medical tape business. The increased gross profit
more than offset an increase in operating expenses related to advertising
expenses related to retail sales of the Company's TheraPatch products.

         The Company recorded no income tax expense or benefit in the first
quarters of fiscal 2001 and 2000.

         Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations
or cash flow.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $29,776 to $70,395 at September
30, 2000. Accounts receivable decreased by $410,528 to $2,235,182 primarily due
to reduced sales for September 2000 as compared to June 2000. Inventories
increased by $156,991 to $2,404,677 primarily due to increased raw materials
inventory. Accounts payable of $2,452,564 at September 30, 2000 increased by
$542,013 during the first three months primarily due to increased payables
related to increased manufacturing production. Capital spending for
manufacturing equipment and plant improvements totaled $135,556 during the first
three months of fiscal 2001. The Company entered into a purchase commitment for
production machinery in the amount of $154,482 during the first quarter of
fiscal 2001. This purchase commitment will be fulfilled by the end of fiscal
year 2001.

         The Company had working capital of $921,857 and a current ratio of 1.2
at September 30, 2000 compared to working capital of $1,512,561 and a current
ratio of 1.4 at June 30, 2000.

         The Company finalized a $2,000,000 asset-based line of credit in
November, 1999. In September 2000, the line of credit was increased to allow
borrowing of up to $2,800,000. Borrowings outstanding on the line of credit were
$708,697 as of September 30, 2000. The Company was in compliance with all
covenants as of September 30, 2000.

         Management believes that existing cash and cash equivalents,
internally-generated cash flow, the existing secured line of credit including
the line of credit increase, and expected additional fixed asset-based financing
will be sufficient to support anticipated operating and capital spending
requirements during the remainder of fiscal 2001. Management is also evaluating
additional sources of capital that may be appropriate for funding longer-term
growth and expansion of the business. Maintaining adequate levels of working
capital depends in part upon the success of the Company's products in the
marketplace, the relative profitability of those products and the Company's
ability to control operating expenses. Funding of the Company's operations in
future periods may require additional investments in the Company in the form of
equity or debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve desired
levels of sales or profitability, or that future capital infusions will be
available.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         From time to time, in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (including this Form 10-Q), in press releases, and in other
communications to shareholders or the investment community, the Company may
provide forward-looking statements concerning possible or anticipated future
results of operations or business developments which are typically preceded by
the words "believes", "expects", "anticipates", "intends", "will", "may",
"should" or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements are subject to
risks and uncertainties which could cause results or developments to differ
materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Such risks
and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the buying patterns of major
customers; competitive forces including new products or pricing pressures; costs
associated with and acceptance of the Company's TheraPatch brand strategy;
impact of interruptions to production; dependence on key personnel; need for
regulatory approvals; changes in governmental regulatory requirements or
accounting pronouncements; and ability to satisfy funding requirements for
operating needs, expansion or capital expenditures.

PART I  - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3  - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         The Company has no history of, and does not anticipate in the future,
investing in derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments
or other such financial instruments. Transactions with international customers
are entered into in U.S. dollars with the exception of TheraPatch sales to
Canadian customers, precluding the need for foreign currency hedges. These
Canadian sales have not been material. Additionally, the Company invests in
money market funds and short-term commercial paper, which experience minimal
volatility. Thus, the exposure to market risk is not material.
