NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

Derma Sciences,  Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the  development,  marketing
and sale of  proprietary  sprays,  ointments and dressings for the management of
certain chronic non-healing skin ulcerations such as pressure and venous ulcers,

through independent  distributors,  mainly to healthcare agencies throughout the
United  States.  In addition,  the Company's  products are available in selected
markets throughout the world through strategic alliances with local companies.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information  and  with the  instructions  to Form  10-QSB  and  Item  310(b)  of
Regulation  S-B.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management,  all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating  results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1998,
are not necessarily  indicative of the results that may be expected for the year

NOTE 3 - INCOME TAXES

The Company  accounts for income taxes under the  liability  method.  Under this
method,  deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences
between  financial  reporting  and tax bases of assets and  liabilities  and are
measured  using the  enacted  tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the
differences are expected to reverse.

As of December 31, 1997 the Company had a net  operating  loss  carryforward  of
approximately  $3,240,000  expiring  in years  2011 and  2016.  Accordingly,  no

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED TO QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net Sales and Gross Profit

Net sales  for the  second  quarter,  1998  increased  $1,120,917,  or 141%,  to
$1,917,163 from $796,246 in the second quarter,  1997. The increase in net sales
is  attributable  primarily  to  the  restructuring  of  the  Company's  product
distribution  system,  including the  institution of a direct sales force during
1997 and price  increases  during the third quarter of 1997 and first quarter of
1998.

The  Company  introduced  new  product  lines  during the first  quarter of 1998
consisting  of  Alginate  Dressings  (NutraStat  and  DermaStat),   Hydrocolloid
Dressings (NutraCol and DermaCol) and Film Dressings  (DermaFilm and DermaSite).
New product  sales were not a material  revenue  producing  factor in the second
quarter of 1998.

Medicaid  rebates incurred by the Company are reflected as a reduction to sales.
The quarter  ended June 30, 1998  included  Medicaid  rebate  adjustments  which
resulted in a net increase to sales of $85,000.

Cost of sales, expressed as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 28% in the
second  quarter,  1997 to 10% in the second  quarter,  1998.  This  decrease  is
attributable  primarily  to the  increase  in net  sales  resulting  from  price
increases and the adjustment of Medicaid rebates as discussed  above.  Aggregate
cost of sales decreased $29,113, or 13%, to $196,739 in the second quarter, 1998
from $225,852 in the second  quarter,  1997.  The decrease in aggregate  cost of
sales is  attributable  to the  increase in net sales in certain  product  lines
which have a relatively high gross margin.

Gross profit,  expressed as a percentage of net sales, increased from 72% in the
second quarter, 1997 to 90% in the second quarter,  1998. Aggregate gross profit
increased  $1,150,030,  or 202%, to $1,720,424 in the second quarter,  1998 from
$570,394  in  the  second  quarter,  1997.  The  increase  in the  gross  profit
percentage  is   attributable   to  the  price  increases  and  Medicaid  rebate
adjustments as discussed  above.  The increase in the aggregate  gross profit is
attributable to the sales increases, discussed above.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased  nominally,  from $1,679,231 in the second quarter,
1997 to $1,679,891 in the second quarter, 1998. This increase represents the net

                                       7
<PAGE>

effect of a decrease  in  selling,  general  and  administrative  expense and an
increase in product development expense discussed below.

Product development  expense for the second quarter,  1998 increased $171,965 to
$205,486 from $33,521 in the second quarter, 1997. This increase is attributable
to  licensing  fees  incurred on new product  lines  discussed  above,  expenses
incurred  related to  clinical  studies  and  increases  to  salaries,  employee
benefits and rent expense.

Selling,  general  and  administrative  expense  for the  second  quarter,  1998
decreased  $171,305,  or 10%, to  $1,474,405  in the second  quarter,  1998 from
$1,645,710 in the second quarter, 1997.  The primary factors contributing to the
change in selling,  general and  administrative  expense for the second quarter,
1998 compared to the second quarter, 1997 are explained below.

Aggregate  wages and  benefits  expense  increased  $166,793 to $772,475 for the
second quarter, 1998 from $605,682 for the second quarter, 1997. These increases
are  attributable to compensation  incident to the hiring of marketing and sales
personnel.

During 1997, the Company restructured the method of compensating its wholesalers
and distributors replacing sales commissions to master distributors with various
product pricing and sales growth  incentives.  Incentive  expense for the second
quarter,  1998  expressed as a percentage of sales  increased to 22% from 11% in
the second quarter,  1997.  Aggregate  incentive expense  increased  $332,557 to
$418,409 for the second quarter, 1998 from $85,852 for the second quarter, 1997.

Aggregate bad debt expense  decreased  $140,582 during the second quarter,  1998
compared to the second quarter, 1997.

Recruiting  fees  of  $83,000  were  incurred  in the  second  quarter,  1997 in
connection with the hiring of marketing and sales personnel. No comparable costs
were incurred in the second quarter, 1998.

Income (Loss)  from Operations

The Company generated income from operations for the second quarter, 1998 in the
amount of $40,533  compared  to a loss from  operations  of  $1,108,837  for the
second  quarter,  1997.  This  income from  operations  is  attributable  to the
increase in net sales discussed above under "Net Sales and Gross Profit."

Litigation Settlement

On June 8, 1998 the Company and ABS LifeSciences,  Inc. ("ABS"), a subsidiary of
Integra Life Sciences, Inc., agreed to a settlement of their  respective  claims
and counter claims asserted in the civil action ABS LifeSciences,  Inc. v. Derma

                                       8
<PAGE>

Sciences, Inc. (the "Action").  The settlement provided that the Company pay ABS
a total of $550,000 and return all unsold Chronicure  inventory.  The settlement
further  provides for the dismissal of all claims and counter claims asserted in
the action. The settlement resulted in a charge to operations of $819,353 in the
quarter ended June 30, 1998.

Net Loss

The Company generated a net loss of $776,320, or $0.17 per share, for the second
quarter,  1998  compared to a loss of  $1,118,035,  or $0.27 per share,  for the
second quarter,  1997. The net loss for the second quarter, 1998 is attributable
to the factors  discussed  above under "Income  (Loss) from  Operations" and the
"Litigation Settlement" charge to operations of $819,353.

Other Events

On May 12, 1998, the Company  announced the execution of a nonbinding  letter of
intent  to  acquire  Genetic   Laboratories  Wound  Care,  Inc.  ("GLWC").   The
acquisition would be accomplished by the merger of a newly formed,  wholly owned
subsidiary  of the  Company  into  GLWC.  GLWC  markets  proprietary  wound care
products; primarily wound closure strips, specialty fastners, and net dressings.
Sales are made  primarily to medical supply  distributors  throughout the United
States and in foreign  countries,  mainly Europe,  utilizing  independent  sales
representatives.  GLWC  shareholders  would  receive 0.7 shares of the Company's
common stock for each share GLWC common stock owned.  The Boards of Directors of
the Company and GLWC approved the  acquisition on June 26, 1998. The acquisition
is  conditioned  upon  approval  of the  acquisition  by  majority  vote  of the
shareholders of the Company and GLWC;  such meetings are presently  scheduled to
be held on September 9, 1998.

On July 14, 1998, the Company  announced the execution of a nonbinding letter of
intent to acquire Sunshine Products, Inc. ("Sunshine") whereby Sunshine would be
acquired by a wholly  owned  subsidiary  of the Company.  Sunshine  shareholders
would receive $1.2 million in cash for its issued and outstanding capital stock.
Sunshine,  a private  closely-held  corporation,  is a  manufacturer  of general
purpose and specialized skincare products for hospitals, nursing homes and other
institutional facilities.  Closing of the acquisition is subject to execution of
a definitive  purchase contract,  completion of due diligence,  approvals of the
boards of  directors  and  shareholders  of both  companies  and  certain  other
conditions.

Further,  on July 14,  1998 the  Company  announced  that it closed its  private
placement  of  Convertible  Securities  effective  June  30,  1998 in  which  an
aggregate of $4 million was raised.  Terms of the  Securities  require that upon
approval of the  Company's  shareholders  of a new class of Series B Convertible
Preferred Shares ("Preferred Stock"), the Securities will automatically  convert
into units  ("Unit(s)"),  as hereafter  defined,  at the rate of $1.20 per Unit.
Each Unit will  consist of one share of  Preferred  Stock  convertible  into one
share of Common  Stock and one warrant  ("Warrant(s)")  to purchase one share of
Common Stock  exercisable at $1.35 per share. As of June 30, 1998,  $440,000 had
been received net of issuance costs, the remaining $3,515,000,  reflected on the
Company's Balance Sheet as a securities subscription receivable, was received in

to  $3,666,709  from  $1,547,979  in the six  months  ended June 30,  1997.  The
increase in net sales is  attributable  primarily  to the  restructuring  of the
Company's  product  distribution  system,  including the institution of a direct
sales force during 1997 and price increases during the third quarter of 1997 and
first quarter of 1998.

The  Company  introduced  new  product  lines  during the first  quarter of 1998
consisting  of  Alginate  Dressings  (NutraStat  and  DermaStat),   Hydrocolloid
Dressings (NutraCol and DermaCol) and Film Dressings  (DermaFilm and DermaSite).
New product sales were not a material revenue producing factor in the six months
ended June 30, 1998.

Cost of sales, expressed as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 26% in the
six months  ended June 30,  1997 to 12% in the six months  ended June 30,  1998.

June 30, 1998 from $409,707 in the six months ended June 30, 1997.  The increase

$155,504,  or 68%, to $385,613  from  $230,109 in the six months  ended June 30,

1998 from  $2,396,549  in the six months  ended  June 30,  1997.  The  aggregate

         THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT, hereby made and dated as of the 3rd day of

         WHEREAS,  the Company  desires to afford the Optionee an opportunity to

the Shares  covered by the Option  (the  "Option  Shares")  shall be the closing
price of the Company's  Common Stock as quoted on the Nasdaq  SmallCap Market on
the day predeeding the Grant Date, to wit: $1.875.


<PAGE>

        3. TERM. Unless earlier terminated  pursuant to any provision hereof the
Option shall expire on April 2, 2008 (the "Expiration Date").
        4.  EXERCISE  OF OPTION.  (a) The right of the  Optionee  to exercise is
subject to the  condition  that the Optionee be a director of the  Company.  The
Option shall become  exercisable in five (5) equal installments and the Optionee
shall have the right to purchase  from the Company,  on and after the  following
dates, the following number of shares:

           DATE INSTALLMENT                                    NUMBER OF
         BECOMES EXERCISABLE                                 OPTION SHARES

           April 2, 1998                                         2,000
           April 2, 1999                                         2,000
           April 2, 2000                                         2,000
           April 2, 2001                                         2,000
           April 2, 2002                                         2,000

         (b) The right of the  Optionee  to  purchase  the Option  Shares may be
exercised,  in whole or in part, at any time or times prior to the expiration or
other termination of the Option.
         (c)  If the  Optionee's  position  as  director  with  the  Company  is
terminated  prior to the  expiration  date of his  Option,  such  Option  may be
exercised by the Optionee, to the extent of the number of Shares with respect to
which the Optionee could have exercised it on the date of such  termination,  or
to any  greater  extent  permitted  by the  Committee,  at any time prior to the
earlier  of (i)  three (3)  months  after  the date of  termination  or (ii) the
expiration date of such Option; provided,  however, if an Optionee's position as
director  was  terminated  voluntarily  by the  Optionee or by the Company  "for

                                       2

<PAGE>

cause" (as defined  below),  the  Optionee  shall have no right to exercise  his
Option on or after the date of such termination.  As used herein, termination of
an  Optionee's  position as director by the Company  shall be "for cause" if the
Board  reasonably  concludes that the Optionee has materially  failed to perform
his  responsibilities to the Company,  materially failed to follow directives or
policies  established by or at the direction of the Board, or conducted  himself
in a manner materially detrimental to the interests of the Company.
         5. METHOD OF EXERCISING OPTION. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Option  Agreement,  the Option may be exercised by giving written notice
to the Company at its principal  office,  specifying the number of Option Shares
to be purchased,  and  accompanied by payment in full of the aggregate  purchase
price for the Shares.  Only full Shares shall be delivered,  and any  fractional
share which might  otherwise be  deliverable  upon exercise of an Option granted
hereunder shall be forfeited. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a form of written notice.
                  (b) The  purchase  price shall be payable:  (i) in cash or its
equivalent,  or (ii) in whole or in part  through the  transfer of Common  Stock
previously  acquired by the Optionee,  provided the Common Stock so  transferred
have been held for the applicable holding period set forth below:

                                       3
<PAGE>

                           1. If such previously acquired shares of Common Stock
were  acquired  through  exercise  of an  incentive  stock  option and are being
tendered as payment of the option price under an incentive  stock  option,  such
shares  have been held by the  Optionee  for a period not less than the  holding
period  described  in  ss.422(a)(1)  of the Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as
amended (the "Code");
                           2. If such previously acquired shares of Common Stock
were acquired through exercise
of an  incentive  stock  option or a  nonqualified  stock  option  and are being
tendered as payment of the option price under a nonqualified stock option,  such
shares have been held by the Optionee for more than one year; or
                           3. If such previously acquired shares of Common Stock
were acquired through exercise
of a  nonqualified  stock option and are being tendered as payment of the option
price  under an  incentive  stock  option,  such  Shares  have  been held by the
Optionee for more than one year.
                  (c) Upon receipt of such notice and payment,  the Company,  as
promptly as possible,  shall deliver or cause to be delivered a  certificate  or
certificates  representing  the  Shares  with  respect to which the Option is so
exercised.  The certificate or certificates  for such Shares shall be registered
in the name of the person or persons  exercising the Option (or, if the Optionee
shall  so  request  in the  notice  exercising  the  Option,  in the name of the
Optionee  and his  spouse,  jointly,  with right of  survivorship)  and shall be
delivered  as  provided  above to or upon the  written  order of the  person  or

                                       4
<PAGE>

persons exercising the Option. In the event the Option shall be exercised by any
person or persons  after the death or legal  disability  of the  Optionee,  such
notice shall be accompanied by appropriate  proof of the right of such person or
persons to exercise  the Option.  All shares  that shall be  purchased  upon the
exercise of the Option as provided herein shall be fully paid and  nonassessable
by the Company.
         6.  NON-TRANSFERABILITY  OF  OPTION.  The Option is not  assignable  or
transferable, in whole or in part, by the Optionee, otherwise than by will or by
the laws of descent and distribution.  During the lifetime of the Optionee,  the
Option shall be  exercisable  only by the Optionee or, in the event of his legal
disability, by his legal representative.
         7.  DISQUALIFYING  DISPOSITION OF SHARES.  The Optionee  agrees to give
written notice to the Company,  at its principal  office,  if a "disposition" of
the Shares acquired through  exercise of the Option granted  hereunder occurs at
any time  within  two years  after the Grant  Date or within  one year after the
transfer to the Optionee of such Shares.  For  purposes of this  Paragraph,  the
term "disposition" shall have the meaning assigned to such term by Sec.424(c) of
the Code.
         8.  WITHHOLDING  OF TAXES.  The  obligation  of the  Company to deliver
Shares  upon the  exercise  of any Option  shall be  subject  to any  applicable
federal, state and local tax withholding requirements.

                                       5

         9. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall, to the maximum extent possible,
be  construed  in a  manner  consistent  with  the  Code  provisions  concerning
incentive and nonqualified stock options, and its interpretation shall otherwise
be governed by Pennsylvania law.
         IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the Company has caused this Stock Option Agreement
to be executed by a duly authorized  officer,  and the Optionee has hereunto set
his hand and seal, all as of the day and year first hereinabove written.
