                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997


NOTE 1 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The condensed balance sheet as of March 31, 1997 and the statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the three month periods
ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 and for the period from March 12, 1991 (inception)
to March 31, 1997 have been prepared by the Company without audit. In the
opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring
accrual adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results
of operations and cash flows at March 31, 1997 and for all periods presented
have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in
the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto in the Company's December 31, 1996 annual report on
Form 10-KSB filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of
operations for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative
of the operating results for the full year.


NOTE 2 - FORMATION OF THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Formation of the Company

         Ortec International, Inc. ("Ortec" or the "Company") was incorporated
in March 1991 as a Delaware corporation to secure and provide funds for the
further development of the technology developed by Dr. Mark Eisenberg of Sydney,
Australia, to replicate in the laboratory, composite cultured skin for use in
skin replacement procedures (the "Technology"). Pursuant to a license agreement
dated September 7, 1991, Dr. Eisenberg has granted Ortec a license for a term of
ten years, which may be automatically renewed by Ortec for two additional
ten-year periods, to commercially use and exploit the Technology for the
development of products, subject to certain limitations. At the expiration or
earlier termination of the agreement, Dr. Eisenberg is entitled to the exclusive
rights in the Technology, and Ortec is entitled to the exclusive rights to all
improvements to the Technology developed during the license period.

         The Skin Group, Ltd. (the "Skin Group") also was formed as a Delaware
corporation, in March 1991, to raise funds for development of the Technology. On
July 27, 1992, the Skin Group
<PAGE>   12
was merged with and into Ortec. Owners of Skin Group shares were given .83672 of
an Ortec share for each Skin Group share. The merger was accounted for as if it
were a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the accompanying financial
statements include the accounts of Skin Group for all periods presented.

Basis of Presentation

         The Company is a development stage enterprise, and has neither realized
any operating revenue nor has any assurance of realizing any future operating
revenue. Successful future operations depend upon the successful development and
marketing of the composite cultured skin to be used in skin replacement
procedures.

Initial Public Offering

         On January 19, 1996, the Company completed an initial public offering
("IPO") of 1,200,000 units. Each unit consists of one share of the Company's
common stock, one Class A warrant to purchase one share of common stock at $10,
expiring July 1997 and one Class B warrant to purchase one share of common stock
at $15, expiring January 1999. The Class A and B warrants will be redeemable by
the Company at $.01 per warrant, if the market price of the Company's common
stock equals or exceeds $10 for 10 consecutive trading days during a specified
period, as defined.

         The IPO raised gross proceeds of $6,000,000, of which $800,000,
$515,500 and approximately $341,000 were used to pay underwriting commissions,
notes payable and deferred offering costs, respectively, thereby providing the
Company with net proceeds of approximately $4,343,500. The Company has used and
intends to use the proceeds for continued research and development of composite
cultured skin, performing human clinical trials and general corporate purposes.

1996 Private Placement

         In November 1996, the Company completed a private placement of its
securities from which it received gross proceeds of $6,220,797 and net proceeds
of approximately $5,733,000 (after deducting approximately $487,000 in placement
fees and other expenses of such private placement). The Company sold 959,106
shares of Common Stock in such private placement at average prices of $6.49 per
share. In addition, the Company granted five-year warrants to placement agents
to purchase such number of shares equal to 10% of the number of shares of common
stock sold by such placement agent, exercisable at prices equal to 120% of the
prices paid for such shares. The purchasers have demanded that the Company
register all such 959,106 shares.

         The Company intends to use the net proceeds it has received in such
private placement offering for continued research and
<PAGE>   13
development of its composite cultured skin, performing human clinical trials and
for general corporate purposes.

NOTE 3 - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT   

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE, which
is effective for financial statements for both interim and annual periods
ending after December 15, 1997. Early adoption of the new standard is not
permitted. The new standard eliminates primary and fully diluted earnings per
share and requires presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share
together with disclosure of how the per share amounts were computed. Basic
earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income
available to common shareholders by the weighted-average common shares
outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the
weighted-average common shares outstanding plus the potential dilutive effect
of securities or contracts which are convertible to common shares, such as
options, warrants, and convertible preferred stock. The effect of adopting this
new standard has not been determined.

ITEM 2.  PLAN OF OPERATION

OPERATIONS FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS

         For the next twelve months the Company will continue to conduct human
clinical trials. To that end, the Company has recruited and intends to continue
to recruit hospital burn centers which will provide the necessary patients. In
addition, human clinical trials are presently being conducted at a research
hospital in New York City for the application of the Company's Composite
Cultured Skin in treating the symptoms of a unique disease called Epidermolysis
Bullosa ("EB"). The wounds resulting from EB are very similar to those caused by
burns and require similar treatment.

         The Company estimates that the cost to it of each human clinical trial
for burn patients and EB patients will be approximately $8,000. Such amounts
include testing for pathogens and payments to the hospital, but do not include
any allocation to the cost of such trials of salaries, rent or other overhead
expenses of the Company.

CASH REQUIREMENTS

         The Company estimates that it has sufficient funds necessary to operate
through approximately January 1999. The Company may have to secure additional
funds prior thereto or thereafter to complete its human clinical trials, if not
then already completed, to secure FDA pre-market approval for commercial sales
and thereafter to produce and market its Composite Cultured Skin in commercial
quantities. See "Forward Looking Information May Prove Inaccurate."

CLINICAL TRIALS AND PRODUCT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

         The Company has spent an aggregate of approximately $3,627,109 from its
inception through March 31, 1997 for the human clinical trials and for research
and development. That amount includes the salaries of its employees involved in
producing the Composite Cultured Skin, performing quality control, securing
hospital burn centers to participate in the human clinical trials, monitoring
the progress of the patients thereafter and to prepare reports to be filed with
the FDA. The Company anticipates that it will be required to continue to spend
additional funds for such purposes in the twelve months ending March 31, 1998 in
order to continue its human clinical trials, continue its efforts to secure FDA
pre-market approval for commercial sales and thereafter to produce and market
its Composite Cultured Skin in commercial quantities. See "Forward Looking
Information May Prove Inaccurate."
