              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,
    1997 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, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
    results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1998.


Note 2.  Net Income per Common Share

    In 1997, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement
    No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".  FASB 128 replaced the calculation of primary
    and fully  diluted  earnings  per share with basic and diluted  earnings per
    share.  Net income per common  share,  basic is computed by dividing the net
    income by the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding.  Net
    income per common  share,  diluted is computed by dividing net income by the
    weighted  average number of shares  outstanding  plus dilutive  common share
    equivalents.  All earnings  per share  amounts for the 1997 period have been
    restated to conform to FASB 128 requirements. The following table sets forth
    the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

Note 3.  Investment in Accordant

    On  June 4, 1998 the  Company signed  an agreement  with  Accordant  Health
    Services,  Inc.  in which  the  Company  agreed to  invest  $4  million  in
    Accordant  preferred  stock.  This  agreement  will give the  Company an 11
    percent  interest in Accordant  and will be accounted  for using the equity
    method of accounting,  as the Company will have significant  influence over
    the operations of Accordant.  As of June 30, 1998 the Company had invested 
    $2 million under this agreement.

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 1998
increased  20 percent to  $26,036,000,  compared to  $21,687,000  for the second
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue  increase is  attributable  to the
operation of 159 wound care  facilities at the end of the second quarter of 1998
compared  to 131 at the  end of the  second  quarter  of 1997  and a 10  percent
increase  in revenues at existing  centers  related to higher  patient  volumes.
Total new patients  increased  22 percent  from 12,271 in the second  quarter of
1997 to 14,996 for the same  period in 1998.  The total  number of new  patients
receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy  decreased  3 percent  from  2,237 in the second
quarter  of 1997 to 2,170 in the  second  quarter  of 1998.  The  percentage  of
patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy decreased during the second quarter of
1998 to 14 percent  from 18 percent for the same  period in 1997.  For the first
six months of 1998 revenues  totalled  $50,549,000,  an  increase  of 22 percent
compared to $41,341,000  for the same period in 1997.  The increased  revenue is
attributable  to the  operation of 159 wound care  facilities  at the end of the
second  quarter of 1998 compared to 131 at the end of the second quarter of 1997
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  21  percent  to 28,515 in the first six  months of 1998  compared  to
23,644 in the  first  six  months  of 1997.  The  total  number of new  patients
receiving Procuren therapy decreased .1 percent to 4,251 in the first six months
of 1998 from 4,256 in the first six months of 1997.  The  percentage of patients
receiving  Procuren decreased from 18 percent in the first six months of 1997 to
15 percent during the first six months of 1998.  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  $11,894,000 in 1997 to $14,077,000 in 1998, an
increase of 18 percent, and for the first six months of 1998 totalled
$27,322,000 compared to $22,752,000  for the same period in 1997. For the second
quarter the increase is  attributable  to  additional  staffing  and  operating
expenses of approximately  $1,344,000  associated with the operation of 28 
additional  wound care  facilities at the end of the second  quarter of 1998, as
well as increased volume at existing  wound care  facilities.  Additionally, 
these 28  facilities included 17  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 1997,  the 
higher  services  components at these facilities accounted for an additional
$942,000 of the increase in product costs and services for the second  quarter
of 1998. As a percentage of revenues, costs of  product  sales and  services  
for the  second  quarter  of 1998 was 54 percent  compared  to 55 percent  for 
the same  period in 1997.  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 second quarter of 1998 as compared 
to the same period in 1997. For the first six months of 1998, cost of product 
sales and services  increased 20 percent.  The increase is  attributed to 
additional  staffing and operating  expenses of  approximately $2,713,000 
associated with the operation of 28 additional wound care facilities at the end
of the second quarter of 1998 as well as increased volume at existing
wound care facilities.  Additionally these 28 facilities  included 17 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
1997,  the  higher  services  component  at these  facilities  accounted  for an
additional  $1,780,000 of the increase in cost of product sales and services for
the first six months of 1998.  As a  percentage  of  revenues,  costs of product
sales and  services  for the first six months of 1998 was 54 percent as compared
to 55 percent for the same period in 1997. The decrease is  attributable  to the
ability of the  Company to  leverage  the  overhead  components  of the costs of
product sales and services over a growing revenue base.


                                       7

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses for the second quarter  increased from $5,757,000 in 1997 to $5,915,000
in 1998, and for the  first  six  months  of 1998 increased to $11,586,000  
compared to $10,821,000 for the same period in 1997.  The expense for 1997 
includes $250,000 of costs related to the corporate office move.  Excluding 
these costs, selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter
and six months of 1998 increased 7 and 10 percent, respectively.  The increase 
for both the second quarter and six months 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 27 percent in the second  
quarter  of 1997 compared  with 23 percent in the second quarter of 1998, and 
for the six months decreased to 23 percent in 1998 compared to 26 percent in 
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 $3,912,000 or $0.30 per share in the second
quarter of 1997 to $4,196,000 or $0.32 per share in the second  quarter of 1998,
and for the six months  improved  from  $7,577,000  or $.59 per share in 1997 to
$8,073,000  or $.61 per share for the first six months of 1998.  The increase in
earnings of $496,000  for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to June
30, 1997 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 offset by an increase
in income taxes as the result of higher  effective tax rates in 1998.  Effective
tax rates are higher in 1998 due to the full  utilization  of net operating loss
carryforwards in 1997.

Liquidity and Capital  Resources.  Working capital was $67.2 million at June 30,
1998  compared  to  $62.6  million  at  December  31,  1997.  Total  cash,  cash
equivalents and marketable  securities  held-to-maturity as of June 30, 1998 was
$63.2  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 6.1:1 at December 31, 1997 compared to 5.4:1 at June 30,
1998. The Company's increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the
net income for the first six months of 1998.

Cash flows  provided  by  operations  for the first six months of 1998  totalled
$9,590,000  primarily  attributable to the net income for the period. Cash flows
used in investing  activities totaled  $22,342,000  attributable to purchases of
marketable securities, property and equipment, and the Accordant agreement. Cash
flows   provided  by  financing   activities   totalled   $1,613,000   primarily
attributable to proceeds from the exercise of stock options.


                                       8
<PAGE>


For the first six months of 1998,  the  Company  experienced  a  $3,266,000  net
increase in accounts receivable primarily due to the increase in revenues and an
increase in the average number of days receivables  outstanding to 59 days as of
June 30, 1998  compared to 54 as of December 31, 1997.  Further,  the  Company's
accounts payable and accrued expenses  increased  $3,012,000 as of June 30, 1998
compared to December 31, 1997.

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.

               NOW,  THEREFORE,  subject  to  receipt  of such  approval  of the
               shareholders,  the  third  sentence  of  Section  3 of the Plan 
               is  amended  and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

               Subject to the provisions of Section 11 of this Plan, the maximum
               aggregate  number of Shares  which may be optioned and sold under
               the Plan,  excluding  those shares  constituting  the Unexercised
               portion  of any  cancelled,  terminated  or expired  options,  is
               250,000  Shares.  Such Shares shall be authorized,  but unissued,
               Common Stock. If an Option should expire or become  unexercisable
               for any  reason  without  having  been  exercised  in  full,  the
               unpurchased  Shares which were subject thereto shall,  unless the
               Plan shall have been  terminated,  become available for the grant
               of other Options under the Plan.
