             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

   The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
   adjustments  (consisting only of normal recurring  adjustments) which are, in
   the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
   position  and  operating  results  for the  interim  periods.  The  condensed
   consolidated  financial  statements should  be read in  conjunction  with the
   consolidated  financial  statements  for the year ended December 31, 1996 and
   notes  thereto  contained in the  Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
   with the  Securities and Exchange  Commission.  The results of operations for
   the three months ended March 31, 1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the
   results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1997.

Note 2.  Income per Common Share

   Income  per  common  share is  computed  by  dividing  the net  income by the
   weighted  average number of common shares  outstanding  plus dilutive  common
   share equivalents. In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
   issued Statement No.128,  Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted
   on December 31,1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the
   method  currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
   periods.  Under the new  requirements  for calculating  primary  earnings per
   share,  the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact is
   expected to result in an increase in primary earnings per share for the first
   quarter  ended  March  31,1997  and March 31, 1996 of $.02 and $.01 per share
   respectively. The impact of Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted
   earnings per share for these quarters is not expected to be material.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of  Financial  Condition  and
Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Revenues.  The Company's revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 1997
increased  32 percent to  $19,654,000,  compared  to  $14,917,000  for the first
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue  increase is  attributable  to the
operation of 128 wound care  facilities  at the end of the first quarter of 1997
compared  to 89 at the  end of the  first  quarter  of  1996  and an 11  percent
increase  in revenues at existing  centers  related to higher  patient  volumes.
Total new patients  increased 31 percent from 8,683 in the first quarter of 1996
to  11,373  for the same  period  in 1997.  The  total  number  of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  increased  16  percent  from 1,745 in the first
quarter  of 1996 to 2,019  in the  first  quarter  of 1997.  The  percentage  of
patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  decreased during the first quarter of
1997 to 18 percent  from 20 percent  for the same  period in 1996.  The  Company
believes  that this  decrease is  attributable  primarily  to an increase in the
percentage of less severe  chronic  wounds being treated at the Company's  Wound
Care Centers(R),  for which physicians are less likely to prescribe Procuren(R),
as well as a lack of available  reimbursement for Medicare patients. The Company
believes  that this shift in the severity of the wounds  treated at a Wound Care
Center(R)  occurs as the  local  medical  community  becomes  familiar  with the
services  offered by the Wound  Care  Center(R)  and  refers a broader  range of
chronic wound patients to the Wound Care  Center(R) for  treatment.  The Company
anticipates that the percentage of patients receiving  Procuren(R) will continue
to decline gradually in the future.

Costs of Product Sales and Services. Costs of product sales and services for the
first  quarter  increased  from  $8,335,000 in 1996 to  $10,858,000  in 1997, an
increase of 30 percent.  The increase is attributable to additional staffing and
operating expenses of approximately  $1,337,000 associated with the operation of
39 additional  wound care facilities at the end of the first quarter of 1997, as
well as increased volume at existing wound care facilities.  Additionally, these
39 facilities  included four additional  free-standing Wound Care Centers(R) and
seven additional  under-arrangement  Wound Care Centers(R) at which the services
component of costs is higher than at the Company's  other  facilities due to the
additional clinical staffing and expenses that these models require. As compared
with the  first  quarter  of  1996,  the  higher  services  components  at these
facilities accounted for an additional $713,000 of the increase in product costs
and services for the first quarter of 1997.  As a percentage of revenues,  costs
of  product  sales and  services  for the first  quarter  of 1997 was 55 percent
compared to 56 percent for the same period in 1996. The one percent  improvement
is attributed to the ability of the Company to obtain  leverage by spreading the
costs of its overhead over a broader revenue base and the improvement of margins
at its  free-standing  Wound  Care  Centers(R)  in the first  quarter of 1997 as
compared to the same period in 1996.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses for the first quarter  increased from  $4,752,000 in 1996 to $5,064,000
in  1997,  an  increase  of seven  percent.  For the  quarter  the  increase  is
attributable to the staffing and operating  expenses  associated with the growth
in the wound care business  particularly  related to field  support  departments
including  clinical  operations  and  management   information   systems.  As  a
percentage of revenues,  selling,  general and administrative,  expenses were 32
percent  in the first  quarter  of 1996  compared  with 26  percent in the first
quarter of 1997. The decrease is  attributable  to the ability of the Company to
obtain leverage by spreading the costs of its overhead  structure over a broader
revenue base.

Net Income.  Net income improved from $1,873,000 or $0.17 per share in the first
quarter of 1996 to  $3,665,000  or $0.28 per share in the first quarter of 1997.
The increase in earnings of $1,792,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1997
as compared to March 31, 1996 is primarily  attributable  to an  improvement  in
operating  margins  associated with the revenue growth  particularly  related to
existing  wound care centers and economies of scale achieved from market growth,
and increased  interest income due to higher cash balances offset by an increase
in income taxes as the result of higher  effective tax rates in 1997.  Effective
tax rates are  higher in 1997 due to the  anticipated  full  utilization  of net
operating loss carryforwards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.  Working capital was $48.7 million at March 31,
1997  compared  to  $45.8  million  at  December  31,  1996.  Total  cash,  cash
equivalents and marketable securities  held-to-maturity as of March 31, 1997 was
$44.8  million and was invested  primarily in highly  liquid money market funds,
commercial  paper and  government  securities.  The ratio of  current  assets to
current liabilities  increased from 5.3:1 at December 31, 1996 to 6.7:1 at March
31, 1997. The Company's increase in working capital and improvement in the ratio
of  current  assets is  primarily  attributable  to the net income for the three
months.

Cash flows  provided by  operations  for the first three  months of 1997 totaled
$2,983,000  primarily  attributable to the net income for the period. Cash flows
used in  investing  activities  totaled  $4,884,000  primarily  attributable  to
maturities of  marketable  securities.  Cash flows used in financing  activities
totaled $475,000 primarily attributable to the payment of the loan guaranteed by
the Company for its former subsidiary Curative Technologies, GmbH.

For the first three  months of 1997,  the  Company  experienced  a $718,000  net
decrease  in  accounts  receivable  primarily  due  to an  improvement  in  days
receivables  outstanding.  The average  number of days  receivables  outstanding
decreased  to 53 days as of March 31, 1997  compared  to 59 as of  December  31,
1996.  Further,  the Company's  accounts payable and accrued expenses  decreased
$2,089,000 as of March 31, 1997 compared to December 31, 1996.

The Company's  longer term cash  requirements  include  working  capital for the
further  expansion  of its wound  care  business.  Other cash  requirements  are
anticipated  for capital  expenditures  in the normal course of business and the
acquisition  of  software,  computers  and  equipment  related to the  Company's
upgrade of management information systems. The Company expects that based on its
current business plan, its existing cash  equivalents and marketable  securities
will be sufficient to satisfy its current working capital needs.  The effects of
inflation and foreign currency translation risks are considered immaterial.
