Stock Option Plans

         Amended and Restated 1991 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plan. On February 23, 1994, the Company's stockholders approved the adoption of
the Amended and Restated 1991 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the
"Stock Option Plan"). The Stock Option Plan is designed to qualify as an
incentive Stock Option Plans under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended. The Company may also award non-qualified stock options under
the Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Stock Option Plan, incentive
stock options may only be granted to management and other key employees of the
Company; non-qualified stock options may be granted to Directors, advisors and
consultants to the Company as well as employees. The Board of Directors has
appointed a Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to administer the
Stock Option Plan, including the selection of the individuals to receive options
and the terms thereof. The Plan permits the grant of options to purchase up to
an aggregate of 500,000 shares of Common Stock.

         Under the Stock Option Plan, the exercise price of incentive stock
options must be not less than 100% (or 110% with respect to any optionee owning
more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the
Company) of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant, and
the aggregate fair market value (determined at the time of grant) of shares
issuable pursuant to such options which first become exercisable in any calendar
year by an employee or officer, may not exceed $100,000. The term of such
options may not exceed ten years (except that with respect to any optionee who
owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of
the Company, the term may not exceed five years). The corresponding provisions
of any non-qualified stock options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not
similarly limited by the Stock Option Plan terms.

         As of March 31, 1997, options for the purchase of a total of 418,919
shares of Common Stock were outstanding under the Stock Option Plan (of which
323,419 were exercisable as of March 31, 1997) and options to purchase an
additional 81,081 shares remained available for grant under the Stock Option
Plan.

         Director Stock Option Plan. On June 6, 1996, the Company's stockholders

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.

   
         HYMEDIX was incorporated in Delaware on December 20, 1993 as a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Servetex International Inc. (the "Predecessor"). On
February 23, 1994, the Predecessor merged with and into HYMEDIX and,
concurrently, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Predecessor was merged with and
into HYMEDIX International, Inc. ("HYMEDIX International"), which resulted in
HYMEDIX International becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of HYMEDIX
(collectively, the "Acquisition Merger"). HYMEDIX International was incorporated
in October, 1985 under the name Kingston Technologies, Inc.
    

         In February, 1994, the Company issued 150 shares of Series A Redeemable
Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, to RCT, a stockholder of the Company,
in consideration of the assignment to the Company of the initial $1,500,000 of
RCT's royalty right relating to exclusive licenses from HYMEDIX International to
Optical Radiation Corporation and Pilkington Visioncare, Inc. for certain lens
products. RCT has certain registration rights with respect to its shares in the
Company.

         As of November, 1993, HYMEDIX International entered into a license
agreement (the "SKY License Agreement") with S.K.Y. Polymers, Inc. ("SKY"), a
corporation controlled by Dr. Vladimir A. Stoy, a Director and indirect
shareholder of HYMEDIX, under which agreement HYMEDIX International acquired an
exclusive license to use and sublicense certain technology in the fields of
wound and burn care, cardiovascular applications, radiology and neuroradiology,
biliary applications and drug delivery (excluding obstetrical/gynecological drug
delivery applications). In consideration of such license, HYMEDIX International
is to pay SKY certain royalties based on annual sales revenues and a monthly
license maintenance fee. Under the SKY License Agreement, HYMEDIX International
has a right-of-first refusal with respect to SKY's technology in certain other
specified fields. The SKY License Agreement is terminable by HYMEDIX
International at any time after January 31, 1994.

         Contemporaneously with the SKY License Agreement, HYMEDIX International
entered into a Project Agreement with SKY (the "Project Agreement") under which
SKY agreed to undertake certain projects relating to the development of products
utilizing technology licensed under the SKY License Agreement for a monthly per
project fee. All results of the project are to be owned exclusively by SKY and
licensed to HYMEDIX International. The Project Agreement has a 15 year term and
may be terminated earlier by HYMEDIX International if the SKY License Agreement
is terminated or expires, if Dr. Stoy ceases to be employed by SKY or is
otherwise unable to supervise the projects, or at any time after February 1,
1994.

   
         In November, 1993, HYMEDIX also entered into a Consulting Agreement
with Dr. Vladimir A. Stoy.
    

         HYMEDIX International is the sole general partner of Kingston
Diagnostics, L.P. ("KDLP"), a Delaware limited partnership of which KTLP is the
principal limited partner. The remainder of KDLP's limited partnership interests
are held by unaffiliated parties. As KDLP's sole general partner, HYMEDIX
International has a 1.69% interest in its assets and is responsible for its
obligations ($59,222 as of December 31, 1996). KDLP is currently inactive and
has sold its assets in exchange for certain shares of the buyer. Such shares
have been pledged to HYMEDIX International to secure KDLP's debts to HYMEDIX
International. Due to uncertain collectability of these debts, HYMEDIX
International has taken a charge against earnings for the entire amount of such
debts. As the sole general partner of KDLP, HYMEDIX International may be
ultimately liable for repayment of the remaining liabilities of KDLP (which are
included in the financial statements of HYMEDIX International).

         In December, 1992, First Taiwan Investment Holding Inc. and First
Taiwan Venture Capital Inc. (collectively "First Taiwan") agreed to acquire from
HYMEDIX International 5,038 shares of HYMEDIX International Common Stock and
from Research Corporation Technologies Inc., a non-profit corporation and a
stockholder of HYMEDIX International ("RCT"), 3,359 shares of HYMEDIX
International Common Stock, respectively. At this time, HYMEDIX International
also issued and sold a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to First Taiwan Investment
and Development, Inc. exercisable for 252 shares of HYMEDIX International Common
Stock. In Jun, 1993 HYMEDIX International issued and sold to First Taiwan an
additional 574 shares of the Common Stock of HYMEDIX International and a Common
Stock Purchase Warrant for the purchase of 180 shares of HYMEDIX International's
Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.

As a result of the Acquisition Merger, First Taiwan received its proportionate
number of shares and warrants in HYMEDIX in exchange for its shares and warrants
in HYMEDIX International. See "Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners
and Management." First Taiwan participated in the private placement of the
Company's securities consummated at the time of the Acquisition Merger
(purchasing 95,380 units (consisting of one share of the Company's Common Stock
and a Warrant to purchase 1/4 share of the Company's Common Stock) at an
aggregate purchase price of $548,435) and also acted as a placement agent in
connection with certain sales of HYMEDIX Common Stock for which it received
commissions of approximately $138,000 of which $88,435 were applied against the
purchase of 15,380 units. Sheng-Hsiung Hsu, Michael K. Hsu, Dr. Hsia-Fu Chao and
Shu-Jean Kuo Chou are representatives of First Taiwan on the Board of HYMEDIX.
First Taiwan has certain registration rights with respect to its shares of the
Company.
