ITEM 1 - Financial Statements

                    INTRODUCTION TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements have been prepared by Advanced Tissue Sciences,
Inc. (the "Company"), without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The Company believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading
when read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended March 31, 1995.

     The financial information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q reflects all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  The results for
the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected
for the full year.

                       (A Development Stage Company)
               NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT
                              (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization - Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc. is a development stage, tissue
engineering company utilizing its proprietary technology to develop and
manufacture completely human tissue products for transplantation.  The
Company has established three units focusing on the worldwide
commercialization of skin, cartilage and cardiovascular products.  The
Company's first therapeutic products, tissue engineered skin products for the
treatment of severe burns and chronic skin ulcers, are in multi-site human
clinical trials in the United States and France.

Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial statements include
the accounts of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries.  The Company's fifty
percent interest in the Advanced Tissue Sciences-Smith & Nephew joint venture is
accounted for under the equity method.  All intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 - PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On June 26, 1995, the Company completed the private placement of 1,500,000
shares of its common stock (the "Shares") pursuant to Regulation D under the
Securities Act of 1933, yielding the Company gross proceeds of approximately
$10.3 million and net proceeds of $9.5 million.  The initial purchase price
for the Shares was $6.86 per share, representing an 11.5% discount to the
closing bid price of the Company's common stock on June 7, 1995. However, the
initial purchase price will be adjusted to result in a purchase price per
share to the investors equal to 88.5% of the average closing price of the
common stock during a period 90 to 135 calendar days subsequent to the close
of the transaction (September 24, 1995 to November 8, 1995).

To the extent 88.5% of such average price exceeds the initial purchase price
of $6.86, the investors will provide additional proceeds such that the total
proceeds to the Company from the investors equals the product of the 88.5% of
the average price and the Shares.  However, if 88.5% of the average price is
below the initial purchase price of $6.86, additional shares will be issued
to the investors such that the purchase price per share to the investors
equals the lower of 88.5% of the average price or the price per share the
Company issues or sells any shares of its Common Stock or any of its
securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for its common stock or
any warrants, options or other rights to subscribe for or purchase common
stock within 135 calendar days of the close of the transaction (exclusive of
shares or options issued pursuant to the Company's option plans or shares
issued upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights outstanding on the
closing date of the transaction).

In connection with the offering, the Company has agreed to register the
Shares within 105 days of the close of the transaction (October 9, 1995).
See Note 8 regarding the completion of a series of similar transactions
subsequent to the end of the second quarter.

NOTE 3 - IN VITRO LABORATORY TESTING BUSINESS

In March 1995, the Company entered into an agreement whereby Stratum
Laboratories International ("Stratum Laboratories") would license the
technology and purchase certain net assets associated with the Company's
in vitro laboratory testing ("IVLT") business.  To date, Stratum Laboratories
has not been successful in securing sufficient funding to complete the
transaction.  As a result, the Company has begun to actively explore
alternatives for focusing additional resources on the business.

<PAGE>
                                
NOTE 3 - IN VITRO LABORATORY TESTING BUSINESS (CONTINUED)

As of June 30, 1995, the net book value of the assets and liabilities to be
acquired under the agreement was $138,656.  Costs associated with the IVLT
business were $706,000 and $856,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively, and $1,467,000 and $1,725,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 4 - DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

The Company is in active negotiations with a leading biopharmaceutical
company related to the development and licensing of a stem cell proliferation
factor ("SCPF") for commercialization in the United States and Europe.  
However, under a collaborative research agreement and license option with
Kirin Brewery Company, Limited ("Kirin") for the development and
commercialization of SCPF in certain Asian countries, the Company is
prohibited from entering into a collaboration with any other commercial
entity prior to the achievement of certain milestones.  In April 1995, in the
interest of advancing the research and development of SCPF, the Company and
Kirin mutually agreed and are in the process of terminating their
collaborative research agreement, although Kirin has expressed a continuing
interest in possibly obtaining Asian rights in the future.  The Company
cannot predict with any certainty that (i) it will be able to enter into any
additional collaboration or license agreement on acceptable terms, (ii) any
such collaboration will be successful, or (iii) it will receive any
additional funding related to SCPF.

NOTE 5 - NET LOSS PER SHARE

The net loss per share for the three and six-month periods ended June 30,
1995 and 1994 is based on the weighted average number of shares of common
stock outstanding during the period.  Shares to be issued under options have
not been included in the calculation of the net loss per share in any period
as their effect is antidilutive.

NOTE 6 - STOCK OPTIONS

The following table summarizes activity under the Company's 1992 Stock Option/
Stock Issuance Plan (the "1992 Plan") and for other options and warrants for 
common stock during the six months ended June 30, 1995:

In May 1995, the Company's Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer
exercised an employee stock option for 550,000 shares of common stock at an
exercise price of $1.67 per share.  The purchase price of $918,500 was paid
with a promissory note bearing interest at 6.75% per annum with principal and
interest due in May 1998.  The note receivable is reflected as an offset
to stockholders' equity in the accompanying balance sheet.

NOTE 7 - SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

During the six months ended June 30, 1995 noncash financing activities
consisted of the payment for the exercise of a employee stock option with a
note.  See Note 6 above.  Net cash from operating activities reflects cash
payments for interest expense of $3,000 and $4,000 in the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  Cash payments for interest
expense for the period January 26, 1986 (inception) to June 30, 1995 have
totaled $597,000.

NOTE 8 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Private Placements - In July 1995, the Company completed a series of private
placements issuing a total of 1,114,432 shares of its common stock under
Regulation D to the Securities Act of 1933, yielding the Company gross
proceeds of approximately $7.6 million and net proceeds of $7.1 million.  As
these placements were not completed prior to the end of the second quarter,
the proceeds from these placements are not reflected in the accompanying
balance sheet.  Through these placements (including the placement in Note 2
above) the Company has issued 2,614,432 shares of common stock, raising total
gross proceeds of $17.9 million and net proceeds of $16.6 million.

The July 1995 private placements were completed on substantially the same
terms as the June 1995 placement described in Note 2; however, the periods
over which the initial purchase price will be adjusted differ and 385,569 of
the shares are to be registered within 160 calendar days of June 26, 1995
(by December 3, 1995).  In the July placements, the average price for 728,863
shares will be determined during the period 115 to 160 calendar days after
June 26, 1995 (October 19, 1995 to December 3, 1995) and for 385,569 shares
during the period 160 to 205 calendar days after June 26, 1995 (December 3,
1995 to January 17, 1996).

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

     Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc. is a development stage company engaged
in the development and manufacture of living human tissue products for
therapeutic and laboratory applications.  The Company has incurred, and
expects to continue to incur, substantial expenses in support of the
development and clinical trials of its Dermagraft "Trademark" products for
burn and skin ulcer applications, in developing manufacturing systems and
facilities for the production of Dermagraft and in advancing other
applications of the Company's core technology.

     In addition to Dermagraft, the Company is focusing its activities on the
development of tissue engineered cartilage and cardiovascular products.  In
May 1994, the Company entered into a fifty-fifty joint venture with Smith &
Nephew plc ("Smith & Nephew") for the worldwide development, manufacture and
marketing of human tissue engineered cartilage for orthopedic applications.
The Company has also entered into a research and development agreement with
St. Jude Medical, Inc. ("St. Jude Medical") under which St. Jude Medical is
funding the development of tissue engineered heart valves.

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

     Revenues increased $484,000 to $1,097,000 and $930,000 to $2,202,000,
respectively, in the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 as
compared to the corresponding periods of 1994.  During the three and six-
month periods ended June 30, 1995, the Company recognized contract revenues
of $590,000 and $1,151,000, respectively, from its joint venture with Smith &
Nephew and from St. Jude Medical for research performed related to orthopedic
applications of cartilage tissue and tissue engineered heart valves.  No such
revenues were earned in the 1994 periods.  This increase in contract revenues
was partially offset by lower product sales and interest income as described
below.

     Sales of the Company's Skin2 "Registered" laboratory testing kits
increased slightly in the three-month period, from $271,000 to $290,000,
resulting in product sales of $551,000 in the six-month period ended June 30,
1995 as compared to sales of $634,000 in the corresponding period of 1994. 
Fluctuations in product sales are primarily due to the timing of validation
studies.  Product sales include revenues received under validation studies
of $139,000 and $176,000, respectively, in the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995.  Sales under validation studies totaled $43,000 and
$219,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 1994, respectively.  The
second quarter of 1994 also includes approximately $51,000 in deferred sales
which were recognized upon regulatory approval of the Skin2 kits for use in
classifying corrosive materials.  In addition, sales in the second quarter of
1994 were limited by product availability due to manufacturing issues.  Lower
average invested funds partially offset by higher rates of return resulted in
a decline in interest income in the second quarter and for the first six
months of 1995 as compared to the corresponding periods of 1994.

     Research and development expenditures have increased significantly in
both the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 as compared to the
corresponding periods of 1994.  Research and development expenditures
increased $628,000 to $4,591,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and
$1,235,000 to $8,997,000 during the first half of 1995 as compared to the same
periods in 1994. The increase in research and development costs reflects
higher costs associated with the production of Dermagraft products for
clinical trials and the validation of components of the Company's commercial
manufacturing facility.  In addition, the Company incurred higher costs in
support of the development of orthopedic cartilage and cardiovascular products
for the Smith & Nephew joint venture and St. Jude Medical research programs
discussed above.  These increases were partially offset by lower costs for
preclinical studies of Dermagraft and of liver tissues, and for research
related to a stem cell growth factor.  Specifically, the increased costs are
principally reflected in higher costs for materials and supplies, and overhead.

     Selling, general and administrative costs were $1,486,000 and $2,947,000
for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as
compared to $1,700,000 and $3,299,000 in the corresponding periods of the
prior year.  The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses
primarily reflects a reduction in headcount, lower costs for marketing and a
decrease in associated overhead costs.

                               -9-

     Professional and consulting costs for legal, accounting and other
consulting services were $399,000 and $867,000 in the three and six months
ended June 30, 1995, respectively, as compared to $538,000 and $941,000 in
the corresponding periods in 1994.  Both the three and six-month periods of
1995 included higher fees for consultants in support of corporate development
activities, while the 1994 periods included higher fees for legal matters,
primarily the agreements with Smith & Nephew and St. Jude Medical as
discussed above, and for clinical and regulatory consultants.

     Cost of goods sold represents direct and indirect costs of manufacturing
the Company's Skin2 laboratory testing kits.  Cost of goods sold is net of
the costs of products transferred to research and development for use in
developing additional applications of the Company's testing kits.  The cost
of such products is included in research and development expenses based
upon estimated direct and indirect production costs assuming planned
production capacity.  Cost of goods sold for the three and six-month periods
ended June 30, 1995 decreased as compared to the same periods in 1994 as
fewer kits were produced in the 1995 periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- - -------------------------------

     In June 1995, the Company sold 1,500,000 shares of common stock and,
subsequent to the end of the second quarter, in July 1995, sold an additional
1,114,432 shares common stock in a series of private placements pursuant to
Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.  In total the Company received
gross proceeds of $17,935,000.  All of the placements were completed on
substantially the same terms.  The initial purchase price for the shares was
$6.86 per share.  However, the initial purchase price will be adjusted to
result in a purchase price per share to the investors equal to 88.5% of the
average closing price of the common stock over a 45-day valuation period.  In
general, if the adjusted price exceeds $6.86 per share the Company will
receive additional proceeds from the investors or, should the adjusted price
be below $6.86 per share, the Company will issue additional shares to the
investors, such that in either case the average purchase price to the
investors will equal the adjusted price.  See Notes 2 and 8 to the
consolidated financial statements for a more detailed description of the
private placements.

     As of June 30, 1995, the Company had available working capital of
$17,045,000 (exclusive of net proceeds of $7,072,000 received from the
July 1995 private placements discussed above), a decrease of $1,992,000 from
December 31, 1994.  The decrease principally reflects funds used for
operations and capital expenditures offset by the net proceeds from the sale
of common stock.  Capital expenditures were $594,000 in the first half of
1995, a significant portion of which was related to the validation of the
Company's manufacturing facility.

     The Company expects to continue to incur substantial research and
development expenses (including costs associated with clinical trials and
the development of manufacturing processes), growing costs in anticipation of
product commercialization, and additional expenditures for capital equipment
and patents.  Inclusive of the net proceeds from the July private placements,
the Company believes it presently has sufficient working capital to fund its
operations at current levels into the third quarter of 1996.  However, based
on the timing of regulatory reviews and approvals, the Company could use
working capital at an accelerated rate for such activities as validation of
the Company's manufacturing facility and to establish necessary sales,
marketing and distribution capabilities.

     In any event, the Company will require additional funds to support the
commercial introduction and further development of its transplantation
products.  The recently completed private placements have been structured to
provide additional funds should the adjusted price over the valuation periods
exceed $6.86 as described above.  Other sources of funds may include existing
or future strategic alliances or other joint venture arrangements which 
provide funding to the Company, and public or additional private offerings of
debt or equity securities, among others.  There can be no assurance, however, 
that any additional funds will be available when needed or on terms favorable 
to the Company, or that the Company will be successful in entering into
any other strategic alliances or joint ventures.

                              -10-

     As part of its effort to focus additional resources on the business, in
March 1995 the Company entered into a agreement whereby Stratum Laboratories
International ("Stratum Laboratories") would license the technology and
purchase certain net assets associated with the Company's in vitro laboratory
testing business.  Under the agreement, the Company could receive up to $5 
million, $1.4 million on the close of the transaction and $3.6 million in 
license fees and milestone payments.  The license and sale of the in vitro 
laboratory business could reduce the Company's use of working capital $1 
million to $2 million annually, depending on the Company's ability to reduce 
fixed and semi-variable costs associated with the business.  To date, Stratum
Laboratories has not been successful in securing sufficient funding and the 
Company cannot predict with any certainty whether any transaction will be 
completed.  As a result, the Company has begun to explore other alternatives 
to focus additional resources on the business.  However, exclusive of a 
transaction with Stratum Laboratories, the Company does not expect any short-
term changes in the resources being utilized in support of the in vitro 
laboratory business.  See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

     The Company also continually reviews its product development activities 
in an effort to allocate its resources to those products the Company believes 
have the greatest commercial potential.  Factors considered by the Company 
in determining the products to pursue include projected markets and need, 
potential for regulatory approval and reimbursement under the existing health
care system as well as anticipated health care reforms, technical 
feasibility, expected and known product attributes and estimated costs to 
bring the product to market, among others.  Based on these and other factors 
which the Company considers relevant, the Company may from time to time 
reallocate its resources among its product development activities.  Additions 
to products under development or changes in products being pursued
can substantially and rapidly change the Company's funding requirements.

Financial Condition
- - -------------------

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of June 30, 1995 have 
decreased slightly from December 31, 1994 as funds used in operations were 
substantially offset by the net proceeds from the private placement completed 
in June.  Accounts payable has decreased significantly from December 31, 1994 
to June 30, 1995 primarily reflecting payments related to costs associated 
with the annual renewal of the Company's liability insurance, for clinical 
trials, for sponsored research and rent.  Accrued expenses have increased 
over the same period principally due to accruals for salaries and benefits, 
sponsored research and clinical trials.
