                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 six months  ended June 30,  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
   second  quarter  ended  June  30, 1997 and  June 30,  1996 of $.02 per share,
   respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 
   an increase of $.03 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 second  quarter of fiscal year 1997
increased  32 percent to  $21,687,000,  compared to  $16,388,000  for the second
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue  increase is  attributable  to the
operation of 131 wound care  facilities at the end of the second quarter of 1997
compared  to 99 at the  end of the  second  quarter  of  1996  and a 12  percent
increase  in revenues at existing  centers  related to higher  patient  volumes.
Total new patients increased 26 percent from 9,721 in the second quarter of 1996
to  12,271  for the same  period  in 1997.  The  total  number  of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  increased  10 percent  from 2,029 in the second
quarter  of 1996 to 2,237 in the  second  quarter  of 1997.  The  percentage  of
patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy decreased during the second quarter of
1997 to 18 percent  from 21 percent for the same  period in 1996.  For the first
six months of 1997  revenues  totalled  $41,341,000,  an  increase of 32 percent
compared to $31,305,000  for the same period in 1996.  The increased  revenue is
attributable  to the  operation of 131 wound care  facilities  at the end of the
second  quarter 1997 compared to 99 at the end of the second quarter of 1996 and
an 11 percent increase in revenues at existing wound care facilities  related to
higher  patient  volumes.  Total  new  patients  to the  wound  care  facilities
increased  28  percent  to 23,644 in the first six  months of 1997  compared  to
18,426 in the  first  six  months  of 1996.  The  total  number of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  increased  12 percent to 4,256 in the first six
months  of 1997  from  3,788 in the  first  six  months  of 1996.  However,  the
percentage of patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  decreased from 21 percent in the
first six months of 1996 to 18 percent  during the first six months of 1997. 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
second  quarter  increased  from  $9,024,000 in 1996 to  $11,894,000 in 1997, an
increase  of 32  percent,  and  for  the  first  six  months  of  1997  totalled
$22,752,000  compared to $17,359,000 for the same period in 1996. For the second
quarter the  increase is  attributable  to  additional  staffing  and  operating
expenses  of  approximately  $1,152,000  associated  with  the  operation  of 32
additional  wound care  facilities at the end of the second  quarter of 1997, as
well as increased volume at existing wound care facilities.  Additionally, these
32  facilities  included  three  Freestanding  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  second  quarter  of 1996,  the  higher  services  components  at these
facilities accounted for an additional $829,000 of the increase in product costs
and services for the second quarter of 1997. As a percentage of revenues,  costs
of product  sales and services  for the second  quarter of 1997 was 54.8 percent
compared  to 55.1  percent  for  the  same  period  in  1996.  The  decrease  is
attributable  to the  ability of the  Company  to  leverage  the fixed  overhead
components  of the cost of product  sales and  services  over a growing  revenue
base.  For the first six  months of 1997,  costs of product  sales and  services
increased 31 percent.  The increase is  attributed  to  additional  staffing and
operating expenses of approximately  $2,242,000 associated with the operation of
32 additional  wound care facilities at the end of the second quarter of 1997 as
well as increased volume at existing wound care facilities.  Additionally  these
32  facilities  included  three  Freestanding  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  staffing and expense that these models require. As compared with the
first six months of 1996,  the higher  services  components at these  facilities
accounted  for an  additional  $1,543,000  of the increase in product  costs and
services for the first six months of 1997. As a percentage of revenues, costs of
product  sales  and  services  for the six  months of 1997 was 55.0  percent  as
compared  to  55.5  percent  in  the  same  period  in  1996.  The  decrease  is
attributable  to the ability of the Company to leverage the overhead  components
of the cost of product sales and services over a growing revenue base.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses for the second quarter  increased from $4,861,000 in 1996 to $5,757,000
in 1997,  an  increase  of 18  percent,  and for the  first  six  months of 1997
increased to $10,821,000  compared to $9,613,000 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of 13 percent.  The increase for both the second  quarter and the first
six months is  attributable  to the staffing and operating  expenses  associated
with the growth of the wound care business particularly related to field support
departments,  and a charge of $250,000  related to the  decision to relocate the
Company corporate  office in the first  quarter of 1998.  As a  percentage  of
revenues,  selling, general and administrative expenses were 30 percent in the
second  quarter of 1996 compared with 27 percent in the second  quarter of 1997,
and for the six months  decreased  to 26 percent in 1997  compared to 31 percent
for the same period in 1996. 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 $2,443,000 or $0.21 per share in the second
quarter of 1996 to $3,912,000  or $0.30 per share in the second  quarter of 1997
and for the six months  improved  from  $4,316,000  or $.38 per share in 1996 to
$7,577,000  or $.59 per share for the first six months of 1997.  The increase in
earnings  of  $3,261,000  for the six months  ended June 30, 1997 as compared to
June 30, 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 taxes 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 $51.2 million at June 30,
1997  compared to $45.8  million at December  31, 1996.  Total cash,  cash
equivalents and marketable  securities  held-to-maturity as of June 30, 1997 was
$46.6  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 5.8:1 at June
30, 1997. The Company's increase in working capital and improvement in the ratio
of current liabilities was primarily  attributable to the net income for the six
months.

Cash flows  provided  by  operations  for the first six months of 1997  totalled
$6,606,000  primarily  attributable to the net income for the period. Cash flows
used  in  investing  activities  totalled  $733,000  primarily  attributable  to
maturities of marketable securities,  offset by capital equipment  expenditures.
Cash  flows  provided  by  financing   activities  totalled  $136,000  primarily
attributable to the payment of the loan guaranteed by the Company for its former
subsidiary Curative Technologies, GmbH, offset by stock option exercises.

For the first six months of 1997,  the  Company  experienced  a  $1,868,000  net
increase in  accounts  receivable  primarily  due to the  increase in  revenues,
although the average number of days receivables were outstanding  declined to 58
days as of June 30, 1997  compared to 59 as of December 31, 1996.  Further,  the
Company's  accounts payable and accrued expenses  increased  $121,000 as of June
30, 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.  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.
