                              (UNAUDITED)


1.   General

     In the opinion of management, the March 31 unaudited condensed consolidated
     financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring accruals) which the Company considers necessary for a fair
     presentation of the financial position and results of operations of the
     Company. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999
     are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire
     year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
     financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. The preparation of
     financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
     principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
     affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, including
     disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported amounts
     of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could
     differ from those estimates. These unaudited condensed consolidated
     financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
     consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998
     included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.   Acquisition

     On March 29, 1999 the Company acquired the business, including certain
     assets and liabilities, of the NeuroCare Group of companies ("NeuroCare"),
     a leading provider of neurosurgical products. The $25 million acquisition
     price was comprised of $14 million of cash and $11 million of assumed
     indebtedness under a term loan from Fleet Capital Corporation. Fleet is
     also providing a $4 million revolving credit facility to fund working
     capital requirements, which was not drawn down as of March 31, 1999. The
     cash portion of the purchase price was financed in part by affiliates of
     Soros Private Equity Partners LLC, through the sale of $10 million of
     Series B Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants. The convertible
     preferred shares are convertible into 2,617,801 shares of the Company's
     common stock, have a liquidation preference of $10 million with a 10%
     compounded annual return and are senior to all other equity securities of
     the Company. The warrants issued are for the right to acquire 240,000
     shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.82 per
     share. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of
     accounting. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated based on
     estimated fair values at the date of acquisition and is pending final
     determination of certain acquired balances. This preliminary allocation has
     resulted in acquired goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately
     $12.8 million, which is being amortized on a straight-line basis over 15
     years. The following is a summary of the preliminary allocation (in
     thousands):

                              (UNAUDITED)


     The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes that the 
     acquisition had occurred on January 1st of each period (in thousands):

                                             For the Three Months ended
                                                    March 31,
                                                 1999       1998

     Total revenue......................    $   12,198   $  13,380
     Net loss...........................        (2,932)     (3,155)
     Basic and diluted net loss per 
       share............................         (0.18)      (0.19)

     The above amounts include pre-acquisition financial results for the three
     months ended March 31, 1998 and the pre-acquisition results of NeuroCare
     through March 25, 1999. Excluded from the net loss and net loss per share
     results is the gain from the sale of the Panafil(R) product line (See Note
     3). The pro forma amounts are based upon certain assumptions and estimates,
     and do not reflect any activities that might have occurred as a result of
     the acquisition. The pro forma results do not necessarily represent results
     which would have occurred if the acquisition had taken place on the basis
     assumed above, nor are they indicative of the results of future combined
     operations.

3.   Panafil(R) Product Line Disposition

     In January 1999 the Company sold the Rystan Panafil(R) product line,
     including the brand name and related production equipment, to Healthpoint,
     Ltd. for $6.4 million in cash. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain of
     $4.2 million  after adjusting for the net cost of the assets sold and for
     expenses associated with the divestiture, including the closing of the
     Rystan facility. 

4.   Income (loss) per share and comprehensive income (loss)

     Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share and comprehensive income 
     (loss) for the three months ended March 31 were as follows:

     Option and warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock of
     2,539,068 (at a price range of $4.31 to $23.00) and 1,888,008 (at a price
     range of $3.55 - $23.00) were outstanding at March 31, 1999 and 1998,
     respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted income
     (loss) per share because the exercise prices were greater than the average
     market price of the common stock for those periods.

7.   Segment Reporting

     acquisition, the Company operates the Company's neurosurgical business
     activities as a separate business segment. The majority of the Company's
     neurosurgical activity was previously included in the medical products
     business segment. The sale of the Panafil(R) product line in the first
     quarter of 1999 is included in the Skin Repairs and Burns net income.

     In July 1996, the Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against three
     parties: Merck KGaA, a German corporation, Scripps Research Institute, a
     California nonprofit corporation, and David A. Cheresh, Ph.D., a research
     scientist with Scripps. The complaint charges, among other things, that the
     defendant Merck KGaA willfully and deliberately induced, and continues to
     willfully and deliberately induce, defendants Scripps Research Institute
     and Dr. David A. Cheresh to infringe on one of the Company's patents. This
     patent is one of a group of five patents granted to The Burnham Institute
     and licensed by the Company that are based on the interaction between a
     family of cell surface proteins called integrins and the
     arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (known as "RGD") peptide sequence found in
     many extracellular matrix

     proteins. The defendants have filed a countersuit asking for an award of
     defendants' reasonable attorney fees.

     The ultimate liability of any case for which a settlement agreement has not
     been reached cannot be determined because of the considerable uncertainties
     that exist. The Company's financial statements do not reflect any
     significant amounts related to possible unfavorable outcomes of the matter
     above or any other matters. However, it is possible that the Company's
     results of operations, financial position and cash flows in a particular
     period could be materially affected by these contingencies.

Item 2.      Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                  and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto and the other financial
information included elsewhere in this report.

General

     The Company has developed principally by combining existing businesses,
acquiring synergistic technologies and forming strategic business and
technological alliances. As a result of the Company's acquisition of Rystan
Company, Inc. ("Rystan") in September 1998 and the acquisition of the NeuroCare
Group of companies ("NeuroCare") in March 1999, the Company's consolidated
financial results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998 may not be
directly comparable. In addition, the Company's financial information discussed
below should be considered in light of the Company's sale of the Panafil(R)
product line on January 5, 1999.

Results of Operations

     In January 1999 the Company recognized a $4.2 million gain ($3.7 million
net of taxes) related to the sale of the Panafil(R) product line along with
certain other assets related to the product.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

     Total revenues increased to approximately $5.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 from $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31,1998
with increases in product sales offset by a decline in licensing fees. Product
sales increased to $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from
$3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Excluding product sales
of Rystan and NeuroCare in the current quarter, sales increased $400,000 with
medical product sales increasing $540,000 and INTEGRA(TM) Artificial Skin
("INTEGRA") sales declining $140,000 compared to the first quarter of 1998.
Medical product sales increases were across three private label products and the
Company's Helistat(R) product line. Because significant portions of the
Company's medical products segment sales are made to marketing partners and
distributors, quarter-to-quarter sales in the segment can vary significantly.

     Product sales from NeuroCare and Rystan each added $520,000 in the current
quarter, with $380,000 from the Panafil(R) product line prior to its disposition
in January 1999. Although under the terms of the Panafil(R) disposition
agreement the Company is entitled to revenue based on identified sales into the
podiatry and burn care markets (less certain fees), the Company currently
anticipates a decline in revenue compared to historical Panafil(R) revenue
levels. NeuroCare product sales were included as of March 26, 1999 under the
terms of the acquisition agreement. 

     Export sales for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased to
$740,000 from $640,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and included
$364,000 of INTEGRA sales in the current quarter.

     Other revenue, which includes grant revenue, licensing fees, product
development revenue and royalties, declined approximately $1.0 million to
$360,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $1.4 million for the
three months ended March 31, 1998. The decline was due to a $1.0 million
non-refundable licensing fee from Century Medical, Inc. in the first quarter of
1998. The Company's product development revenue also declined slightly and was
offset by higher grant funding. The Company's development and marketing
agreement with DePuy, a Johnson & Johnson Company, does not include quarterly
development funding payments in 1999. The Company continues to seek research
grants, licensing arrangements and development funding for several of its
technologies, although the timing and amount of such revenue, if any, can not be
predicted.

                                      9
<PAGE>


     Cost of product sales increased to approximately $2.7 million (59% of
product sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1999 from $1.7 million (55%
of product sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1998. Included in the
1999 cost of product sales is $210,000 related to the fair value purchase
accounting adjustment for Rystan and NeuroCare's inventory. Excluding the
purchase accounting adjustments, the cost of product sales for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 was 54% of product sales. The Company continues to
experience a higher cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales
because of the high fixed costs and low utilization of the Company's INTEGRA
manufacturing facility. The Company currently anticipates that its overall gross
margin will decline for the next two quarters due to the fair value purchase
accounting adjustment related to the NeuroCare acquisition. The Company
continues to believe that its current capacity to produce its products is
sufficient to support significant growth, and the utilization of this capacity
will affect its gross margin on product sales.

     Research and development expense declined to approximately $2.0 million for
the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 from $2.1 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998. Increases associated with additional
development personnel for the Company's medical products orthopedic development
programs were offset by a decline in expenditures for contract development
programs in the skin repair and burn and other developing business segments. The
Company expects that the level of research and development expenditures in 1999
will exceed 1998 levels due to the acquisition of NeuroCare. The Company
anticipates adjusting the allocation of research and development resources as
the Company combines NeuroCare's development activities. The amount of resources
and the allocation of those resources to fund research and development will vary
depending upon a number of factors, including the progress of development of the
Company's technologies, the timing and outcome of pre-clinical and clinical
results, changing competitive conditions, continued program funding levels,
potential funding opportunities and determinations with respect to the
commercial potential of the Company's technologies.

     Selling and marketing expense was approximately $1.6 million for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998. The current period included
$320,000 in increases from Rystan and NeuroCare activities with the significant
portion coming from Rystan's telemarketing activities. There were also increases
in expenditures related to the Company's DuraGen product pre-launch activities.
The Company currently anticipates a European launch in the second quarter.
DuraGen is pending 510(k) clearance from the FDA in the United States. Cost
increases were offset by a decline in marketing activities and personnel in the
skin repair and burn segment. The Company anticipates a significant increase in
overall selling and marketing costs in the neurosurgical segment as result of
the NeuroCare acquisition.

     General and administrative expense declined to approximately $2.2 million
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 from $2.8 million for the
three-month period ended March 31, 1998. The decline included a significant
reduction in legal fees as the Company resolved various litigation matters in
the first half of 1998. The Company also took a $200,000 charge in 1998 related
to an asset impairment provision. The Company has announced that it will be
closing NeuroCare's corporate headquarters and distribution center in Pleasant
Prairie, Wisconsin during the third quarter of 1999. While the Company believes
that the consolidation of the Company's corporate and distribution facilities
will result in an overall cost reduction, it is anticipating higher operating
costs over the next two quarters as a result of the NeuroCare acquisition,
including costs associated with a short term retention program for key Wisconsin
personnel, the transfer and installation of distribution and telecommunication
equipment and other transition and training costs required as a result of the
facility closing.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through private and
public offerings of equity securities, revenues from sales of products, research
grants from government agencies, development and licensing agreements with major
industrial companies, borrowings under a revolving credit line and cash acquired
in connection with business acquisitions. At March 31, 1999, the Company had
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $19.6
million. The Company's principal uses of funds during the three-month period
ended March 31, 1999 were $2.7 million for operations, $13.9 million in the
acquisition of NeuroCare and $390,000 in purchases of property and equipment.
The Company raised $10 million with the sale of Series B Preferred Stock and
warrants to affiliates of Soros Private Equity Partners LLC and assumed $11
million of term debt with the NeuroCare acquisition.

The Company anticipates that it will continue to use its liquid assets to fund
operations until sufficient revenues can be generated through product sales and
collaborative arrangements. With the acquisition of NeuroCare, the Company has
approximately $2.1 million in liabilities related to the acquisition which will
need to be funded over the remainder of 1999. As part of the assumption of the
NeuroCare term loan, Integra NeuroCare obtained a $4 million revolving credit
facility that it intends to utilize to fund its working capital needs. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues to
obtain positive operating cash flows or profitability.

Year 2000 Disclosure

         As is true for most companies, the potential for problems involving
existing information systems as we approach and pass January 1, 2000 creates a
risk for the Company. These potential problems are the result of the inability
of certain date-sensitive computer programs and embedded controls to recognize a
two-digit date field designated as "00" as the year 2000 instead of the year
1900, the consequences of which could lead to system failures or miscalculations
causing disruptions to operations and normal business activities. This is a
significant issue with far reaching implications, some of which cannot be
anticipated or predicted with any degree of certainty as is commonly referred to
as a Year 2000 (Y2K) compliance issue.

Integra Life Sciences Businesses

         The Company has completed its initial assessment of the magnitude of
the impact of Y2K on the businesses of the Company prior to the acquisition of
NeuroCare (the "Integra businesses") and is currently in the process of
developing, implementing and monitoring a Y2K correction plan in all areas
identified as potentially compromised by the advent of the Y2K. This correction
plan includes (i) the assessment of information technology systems ("IT
systems") and non-IT systems for Y2K compliance, (ii) the modification and/or
replacement of non-compliant systems, (iii) the testing of modified and/or
replaced systems, and (iv) the deployment of Y2K compliant systems. In most
cases, the Company anticipates that the Y2K correction plan will include
upgrading current hardware and software or purchasing additional hardware and
software to enhance its current IT systems. Since January 1, 1997, the Integra
businesses have spent approximately $460,000 upgrading and/or replacing certain
components of its information systems. The Company anticipates spending an
additional $50,000 on such IT system upgrades and purchases through December 31,
1999. The majority of the capital expenditures and operating costs associated
with these upgrades and purchases would have occurred in the normal course of
business regardless of the Y2K issue, although a portion of such expenditures
and costs is attributable to the Company's Y2K correction plan. The Company
expects that the upgrades and purchases will be implemented and tested by June
1999 and that, in any event, its IT systems will be Y2K compliant before
December 31, 1999. The Company is currently on track with its planned upgrades.

                                      11

<PAGE>

         The Company has been reviewing and has requested assurances on the
status of Y2K readiness of its critical suppliers. Many of these suppliers
however, have limited assurances on their status on the Y2K readiness. The
Company plans to continue to monitor critical suppliers during 1999. The Company
has reviewed information regarding its major customers to assess their readiness
for Y2K. If a significant number of suppliers and customers experience
disruptions as a result of the Y2K issue, this could have a material adverse
effect on the financial position and results of operations of the Company.
Although the Company is formulating contingency plans to deal with Y2K problems
on critical suppliers and major customers, there can be no assurance that these
plans will address all Y2K problems or that the implementation of these plans
will be successful.

         The products of the Integra businesses do not contain any materials
that would make such products susceptible to disruptions relating to the Y2K.
Given the information available at this time, the Company currently anticipates
that the amount that the Integra businesses will spend to complete their Y2K
correction plan should not have a material adverse impact on the Company's
business, results of operations, financial position and cash flow beyond the
amounts discussed previously. Furthermore, Integra does not currently expect
that the effects of any Y2K non-compliance on Integra's information systems will
have any material adverse impact on Integra's business, results of operations,
financial positions or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that
Integra will not incur additional expenses or experience business disruption as
a result of the IT system problems associated with the century change, including
system and equipment problems with third parties with whom Integra does
business.

Integra NeuroCare Businesses

The Company is currently assessing the magnitude of the impact of Y2K issues on
the NeuroCare business. Although the Company evaluated NeuroCare's exposure to
Y2K issues during its due diligence process, it was unable to obtain a thorough
review of information related to the systems within the company. The Company is
now in the process of performing a review of the NeuroCare systems in order to
develop a correction plan. The Company anticipates that it will have its initial
assessment complete by August 1999. The Company has already identified several
critical systems and confirmed that they are within compliance specifications of
the Company.  However, there can be no assurance that other critical systems 
will be found to be Y2K compliant, or that the expenditures necessary to make 
such systems compliant will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
financial position.

The NeuroCare businesses make and sell certain products that contain computer
processors. The Company has determined that the Camino line of intracranial
pressure monitors does not include a dating function, and therefore will not be
affected by Y2K considerations. The Neuro Navigational line of neuroendoscopy
products does contain certain dating functions that will be affected by Y2K
considerations, but the substantive performance of the devices will not be
affected. The Company is providing its customers with instructions for resetting
the dating function to overcome effects of the Y2K considerations.

Suppliers

The Company has been reviewing and has requested assurances on the status of Y2K
readiness of its critical suppliers. Many of these suppliers however, have
limited assurances on their status on the Y2K readiness. The Company plans to
continue to monitor critical suppliers during 1999. The Company has reviewed
information regarding its major customers to assess their readiness for Y2K. If
a significant number of suppliers and customers experience disruptions as a
result of the Y2K issue, this could have a material adverse effect on the
financial position and results of operations of the Company. Although the
Company is formulating contingency plans to deal with Y2K problems on critical
suppliers and major customers, there can be no assurance that these plans will
address all Y2K problems or that the implementation of these plans will be
successful.

Given the information available at this time, Integra currently anticipates that
the amount that Integra will spend to complete its Y2K correction plan should
not have a material adverse impact on Integra's business, results of operations,
financial position and cash flow beyond the amounts discuss previously.
Furthermore, Integra does not currently believe that the effects of any Y2K
non-compliance on Integra's information systems should have any material adverse
impact on Integra's business, results of operations, financial position or cash
flows. However, there can be no assurance that Integra will not incur additional
expenses or experience business disruption as a result of information system
problems associated with the century change, including system and equipment
problems of third parties with whom Integra does business.
