              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,
    1999 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, 2000 are not necessarily  indicative of
    the results to be expected  for the entire  fiscal year ending  December 31,
    2000.


Note 2.  Net Income per Common 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.
    The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
    per share:

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 2000
decreased  12 percent  to  $22,200,000  compared  to  $25,243,000  for the first
quarter of the prior fiscal year. The revenue  decrease is  attributable  to the
termination  of  22  hospital   based  programs   during  the  last  12  months,
renegotiation  of  contract  terms at  approximately  80  programs,  and reduced
Procuren sales.  The reduction in revenue was partially offset by the opening of
15 new programs over the last 12 months.  The Company ended the first quarter of
2000 with 153 hospital based Wound Care Centers operating compared to 160 at the
end of the first quarter 1999.  Revenues at existing  centers declined 7 percent
in the first  quarter of 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999,  primarily
due to such contract renegotiations and declining Procuren revenues. The Company
anticipates that as a result of the July 2000  implementation by the Health Care
Financing  Administration  (HCFA) of the Outpatient  Prospective  Payment System
(OPPS)  for   hospitals   and  new  provider   based   designation   guidelines,
reimbursement  rates to  hospitals  will be  insufficient  resulting  in reduced
revenues to the hospitals.  The Company  expects that it will need to modify its
management  contracts with many of its hospital  customers which could result in
reduced revenue to the Company or even contract  terminations.  As hospitals are
currently facing financial challenges  associated with lower occupancy rates and
reduced revenue  streams due to pricing  pressures from Medicare and third party
payors, there can be no assurance that the Company's renegotiation  efforts will
be successful. The termination or non-renewal of a material number of management
contracts could result in a continued decline in the Company's  revenue.  As the
result of the recent legal actions against the  Company,  further  unanticipated
terminations  or  non-renewals  may  take  place.  Additionally,   new  business
development may be slower than normal given the legal  uncertainties  facing the
Company and the pending  OPPS  implementation.  Any  inability of the Company to
develop new Wound Care Centers could further reduce  revenue.  The Company has a
number of initiatives  to counter the decline in revenue,  although there can be
no  assurance  that the  initiatives  will be  successful.  Total  new  patients
increased 5 percent  from 14,905 in the first  quarter of 1999 to 15,636 for the
same period in 2000.  The total  number of new  patients  receiving  Procuren(R)
therapy  decreased from 1,670 in the first quarter of 1999 to 1,018 in the first
quarter of 2000.  The  percentage  of  patients  receiving  Procuren(R)  therapy
decreased  during the first quarter of 2000 to 7 percent from 11 percent for the
same period in 1999. The Company  believes that this decrease is attributable 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),  a lack of available reimbursement for Medicare patients,
the  inability  of  hospitals  to  assume  collection  risks  due  to  financial
constraints and increased  competition  from other wound healing  products.  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  decreased  from  $14,074,000  in 1999 to  $13,984,000  in 1999, a
decrease of 1 percent.  The  decrease is  attributable  to reduced  staffing and
operating  expenses of  approximately  $342,000  related to the operation of 153
programs  at the end of the  first  quarter  2000  compared  with  160  programs
operating at the end of the first quarter 1999, as well as reduced  expenditures
of approximately $268,000 related to Procuren production.  The reduction in cost
of sales was partially offset by an increase of  approximately  $430,000 related
to increased patient volume at under-arrangement  Wound Care Centers(R) at which
the services  component of costs is higher than at the  Company's  other centers
due to the additional  clinical staffing and expenses that these models require.
As a percentage  of revenues,  costs of product sales and services for the first
quarter of 2000 was 63 percent  compared  to 56 percent  for the same  period in
1999.  The increase is  attributed  to the lower revenue and negative same store
sales  growth  which  decreased  margins  and created an  inability  to leverage
expenses over a broader revenue base.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses for the first quarter  increased from  $5,714,000 in 1999 to $6,535,000
in 2000 an increase of 14 percent.  The  increase is primarily  attributable  to
legal and other costs of  approximately  $500,000  related to the  Department of
Justice  action,  the  Office  of  Inspector  General's  document  subpoena  and
shareholder class action lawsuits and  approximately  $200,000 of consulting and
related costs associated with preparing for OPPS implementation. As a percentage
of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses were 29 percent in the
first  quarter of 2000  compared to 23 percent for 1999.  The increase is due to
the higher legal expense and decreased revenue in 2000.

Net Income.  Net income was  $1,389,000  or $0.14 per diluted share in the first
quarter of 2000  compared to  $3,812,000 or $0.31 per diluted share in the first
quarter of 1999.  The  decrease in earnings of  $2,423,000  for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 as compared to March 31, 1999 is  attributable to a reduced
revenue base which impacted  wound care center margins and the additional  legal
and consulting expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Working capital was $53.2 million at March 31, 2000 compared to $55.5 million at
December  31, 1999.  Total cash,  cash  equivalents  and  marketable  securities
held-to-maturity  as of  March  31,  2000 was  $45.9  million  and was  invested
primarily in highly liquid money market funds,  commercial  paper and government
securities. The Company's cash and cash equivalents declined from $47 million at
December  31,1999 to $45.9  million at March 31, 2000.  The decline is primarily
attributable  to the use of $4.8 million for the repurchase of 727,000 shares of
the  Company's  common  stock during the first  quarter of 2000,  offset by cash
flows from  operations.  The ratio of current assets to current  liabilities was
4.4:1 at December 31, 1999 and 4.6:1 at March 31, 2000.

Cash flows  provided by  operations  for the first three  months of 2000 totaled
$3,934,000  primarily  attributable  to the net  income  for the  period and the
reduction in accounts  receivable.  Cash flows providing by investing activities
totaled  $1,722,000  primarily  attributable to sales of marketable  securities.
Cash  flows  used  in  financing   activities   totaled   $4,720,000   primarily
attributable to the Company's repurchase of shares.

                                       8
<PAGE>

For the first three months of 2000,  the Company  experienced  a net decrease in
accounts  receivable of $2,714,000  and a decrease in the average number of days
receivables  outstanding  to 73 days as of March 31,  2000  compared to 76 as of
December 31, 1999. Further,  the Company's accounts payable and accrued expenses
decreased $1,691,000 as of March 31, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999.

The Company's  longer term cash  requirements  include  working  capital for the
expansion of its wound care business.  Other cash  requirements  are anticipated
for capital  expenditures  in the normal course of business,  the acquisition of
software,   computers  and  equipment   related  to  the  Company's   management
information  systems,  and the  repurchase of Company  stock.  Additionally  the
Company  expects to incur  significant  legal costs related to the Department of
Justice actions and shareholder  class action lawsuits filed against the Company
(See Legal  Proceedings,  Part II Item 1). The Company expects that based on its
current  business  plan,  its existing  cash,  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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

        The  Company  does  not have  operations  subject  to risks of  material
foreign currency fluctuations,  nor does it use derivative financial instruments
in its operations or investment  portfolios.  The Company places its investments
in  instruments  that meet high credit  quality  standards,  as specified in the
Company's investment policy guidelines. The Company does not expect any material
loss with  respect to its  investment  portfolio  or  exposure  to market  risks
associated with interest rates.
