Note 1.   Basis of Presentation

   The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and reflect all
   adjustments  (consisting  only of normal  recurring  adjustments  except when
   otherwise  indicated in  Management's  Discussion and Analysis) 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 nine months ended  September 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
   quarters ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 of $.01 and $.02 per
   share,  respectively.  For the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 and
   September  30,  1996 the  impact is an  increase  of $.04 and $.05 per share,
   respectively.  The impact of Statement  No. 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 third  quarter of fiscal  year 1997
increased  30 percent to  $22,705,000,  compared  to  $17,462,000  for the third
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue  increase is  attributable  to the
operation of 141 wound care  facilities  at the end of the third quarter of 1997
compared  to 109 at the  end of the  third  quarter  of 1996  and an 11  percent
increase  in revenues at existing  centers  related to higher  patient  volumes.
Total new patients increased 27 percent from 10,146 in the third quarter of 1996
to  12,867  for the same  period  in 1997.  The  total  number  of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  increased  8  percent  from  2,083 in the third
quarter  of 1996 to 2,247  in the  third  quarter  of 1997.  The  percentage  of
patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  decreased during the third quarter of
1997 to 18 percent  from 21 percent for the same  period in 1996.  For the first
nine  months of 1997  revenues  totaled  $64,046,000,  an increase of 31 percent
compared to $48,767,000  for the same period in 1996.  The increased  revenue is
attributable  to the  operation of 141 wound care  facilities  at the end of the
third  quarter 1997  compared to 109 at the end of the third 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 36,511 in the first nine  months of 1997  compared  to
28,572  in the first  nine  months of 1996.  The  total  number of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  increased 11 percent to 6,503 in the first nine
months  of 1997 from  5,871 in the  first  nine  months  of 1996.  However,  the
percentage of patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  decreased from 21 percent in the
first nine  months of 1996 to 18 percent  during the first nine  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
third  quarter  increased  from  $9,862,000 in 1996 to  $12,421,000  in 1997, an
increase  of 26  percent,  and  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1997  totaled
$35,173,000  compared to $27,221,000  for the same period in 1996. For the third
quarter the  increase is  attributable  to  additional  staffing  and  operating
expenses  of  approximately  $1,107,000  associated  with  the  operation  of 32
additional  wound care  facilities  at the end of the third  quarter of 1997, as
well as increased volume at existing wound care facilities.  Additionally, these
32 facilities  included eight  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 third quarter of 1996,  the higher  services  components at
these facilities accounted for an additional $545,000 of the increase in product
costs and services for the third  quarter of 1997.  As a percentage of revenues,
costs of  product  sales and  services  for the third  quarter  of 1997 was 54.7
percent  compared to 56.5  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 nine months of 1997,  costs of product  sales and  services
increased 29 percent.  The increase is  attributed  to  additional  staffing and
operating expenses of approximately  $3,349,000 associated with the operation of
32 additional  wound care  facilities at the end of the third quarter of 1997 as
well as increased volume at existing wound care facilities.  Additionally, these
32 facilities  included eight 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 nine months of 1996, the higher  services  components
at these  facilities  accounted for an additional  $2,088,000 of the increase in
product costs and services for the first nine months of 1997. As a percentage of
revenues,  costs of product  sales and  services for the nine months of 1997 was
54.9  percent  as  compared  to 55.8  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 third quarter  increased from  $4,702,000 in 1996 to $5,783,000
in 1997,  an  increase  of 23  percent,  and for the first  nine  months of 1997
increased to $16,604,000 compared to $14,315,000 for the same period in 1996, an
increase of 16 percent.  The increase  for both the third  quarter and the first
nine months is  attributable to the staffing and operating  expenses  associated
with the growth of the wound care business related to field support  departments
particularly clinical operations,  management information systems, costs related
to a branding  campaign,  and a charge in the second quarter of 1997 of $250,000
related to the decision to relocate the Company  corporate  office in 1998. As a
percentage of revenues,  selling,  general and  administrative  expenses were 27
percent  in the third  quarter  of 1996  compared  with 25  percent in the third
quarter  of 1997,  and for the  nine  months  decreased  to 26  percent  in 1997
compared to 29 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 $2,989,000 or $0.24 per share in the third
quarter of 1996 to  $4,286,000  or $0.33 per share in the third  quarter of 1997
and for the nine months  improved  from  $7,305,000 or $.62 per share in 1996 to
$11,863,000 or $.92 per share for the first nine months of 1997. The increase in
earnings of $4,558,000 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 as compared
to September 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 a higher effective tax rate 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 $55.2 million at September
30,  1997  compared to $45.8  million at December  31,  1996.  Total cash,  cash
equivalents and marketable securities  held-to-maturity as of September 30, 1997
was $53.7  million and was  invested  primarily  in highly  liquid  money market
funds,  commercial paper and government securities.  The ratio of current assets
to current  liabilities  was 5.3:1 at December 31, 1996 and  September 30, 1997.
The Company's increase in working capital was primarily  attributable to the net
income for the nine months.

Cash flows  provided by  operations  for the first nine  months of 1997  totaled
$14,458,000 primarily  attributable to the net income for the period. Cash flows
used in  investing  activities  totaled  $1,419,000  primarily  attributable  to
capital equipment  expenditures  offset by maturities of marketable  securities.
Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $555,000 primarily  attributable
to  proceeds  from  stock  option  exercises  offset by the  payment of the loan
guaranteed by the Company for its former subsidiary Curative Technologies, GmbH.

For the first nine months of 1997,  the Company  experienced  a  $1,246,000  net
increase in  accounts  receivable  primarily  due to the  increase in  revenues,
although the average number of days receivables were outstanding  declined to 54
days as of September 30, 1997  compared to 59 as of December 31, 1996.  Further,
the Company's accounts payable and accrued expenses  increased  $2,344,000 as of
September 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.
