1.  Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations

    Transderm Laboratories Corporation (the "Company") is an indirect 90%
    owned subsidiary of Health-Chem Corporation ("Health-Chem").

    In April 1995, Health-Chem's Board of Directors approved a plan to
    realign certain of its business operations in order to separate its
    transdermal pharmaceutical business from its hospital and industrial
    laminated fabrics and environmental chemical business.  As part of
    such realignment, Hercon Laboratories Corporation ("Hercon")
    effectively transferred its environmental chemical business to a
    subsidiary of Health-Chem, Hercon Environmental Corporation.

    Following the completion of the transfer of the environmental
    business, the Company, Herculite Products, Inc. ("Herculite"), which
    is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Health-Chem, and Health-Chem entered
    into a Plan of Reorganization and Asset Exchange Agreement effective
    August 31, 1995.

    The Plan of Reorganization and Asset Exchange Agreement required:

      .     The transfer from Herculite to the Company of the
            manufacturing facility in which Hercon's operations
            are conducted and the 985 shares of Hercon common
            stock owned by Herculite in exchange for 1,000,000
            shares of the Company's Redeemable Preferred Stock,
            $10.00 par value.

      .     Hercon's issuance to Health-Chem of a $7,000,000, 9%
            Subordinated Promissory Note evidencing the
            approximate amount of intercompany advances owed by
            Hercon to Health-Chem.

      .     The Company's issuance of 40,000,000 shares of its
            authorized 60,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $.001
            par value, in exchange for the previously issued 50
            shares of its $.01 par value common stock.

      .     The Company's payment to Health-Chem as it uses its
            net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to
            offset future taxable income as a result of entering
            into a Tax Sharing Agreement.

     .      The Company's participation in a Corporate Services
            Agreement with Health-Chem.

    In September 1995, subscription rights to purchase up to 4,000,000
    shares of the Company's Common Stock for $.10 per share were issued to
    holders of Health-Chem common stock.  The Rights Offering expired 
    November 10, 1995, with shareholders subscribing to the 4,000,000
    shares of the Company's Common Stock by exercising their Basic
    Subscription Rights and Oversubscription Privileges.

Results of Operations

Net sales increased $1,264,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase is due primarily to greater
demand from distributors for transdermal nitroglycerin patches ($1,073,000)
and to higher selling prices ($191,000).

Net sales increased $652,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as compared
to the same period in 1995.  The fluctuation in sales is attributable to the
factors noted above -- greater demand ($503,000) and higher selling prices
($149,000).

Gross profit increased $775,000, or 23%, for the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to the same period in 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales was 59% in both 1996 and 1995.  Gross profit increased primarily due
to increased domestic sales volumes of transdermal nitroglycerin patches.

Gross profit increased $419,000, or 29%, for the quarter ended June 30, 1996
as compared to the same period in 1995.  Gross profit as a percentage of net
sales increased from 56% for 1995 to 57% for 1996.  These increases in gross
profit are attributable to the factors noted above.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding legal expenses,
increased $338,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the
same period in 1995.  This increase is due primarily to a higher allocation of
expenses from affiliates of $196,000 and from higher payroll-related, data
processing and consulting costs.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
incurred by Health-Chem which cannot be directly attributed to a specific
subsidiary are allocated to the Company based upon its net sales as a
percentage of Health-Chem's net sales.  The Company's allocation of Health-
Chem's total expenses was 27% for the six months ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to 25% for the same period in 1995.  For the quarter ended June 30,
1996, selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding legal expenses,
increased $100,000 due primarily to the same reasons described above.

Legal expenses for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased
$654,000 and $496,000, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 1995. 
In August 1995, Key Pharmaceuticals, Inc. commenced an action against the
Company's Hercon subsidiary relating to some of Hercon's improved transdermal
nitroglycerin products.  The increased legal expenses are primarily due to the
costs of intensive discovery related to the defense of this action.  Discovery
is currently scheduled to be completed by mid August 1996.  The trial in this
action is scheduled to begin during the last week in September 1996.

Research and development expenses for the six months and quarter ended June
30, 1996 decreased $18,000 and $2,000, respectively, as compared to the same
periods in 1995.  These decreases are due primarily to lower clinical
materials expense and to the timing of various phases of clinical studies and
other scheduled research activities.  The Company expects total research and
development expenses related to pharmaceutical products in 1996 to approximate
1995 levels.

Net interest expense decreased $13,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996
as compared to the same period in 1995 due primarily to a reduction in the
outstanding balance of the note payable to Circa Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  Net
interest expense increased $6,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the same period in 1995 due primarily to higher average interest
rates on net borrowings from affiliates.

Other income for the six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996 each decreased
$58,000 as compared to the same periods in 1995.  These decreases are due to
nonrecurring proceeds of $100,000 received from entering into a distribution
agreement in the second quarter of 1995, partially offset by $42,000 of second
quarter 1996 development work income.

Income from operations before taxes decreased $244,000 and $239,000 for the
six months and quarter ended June 30, 1996, respectively,  as compared to the
same periods in 1995 due primarily to the factors discussed above.  Income tax
provision varies with the amount and nature of the components of income from
operations before taxes.  The decrease in the effective tax rate from 38% for
the six months ended June 30, 1995 to 34% for the six months ended June 30,
1996 is due primarily to a reversal of a portion of the valuation allowance
amounting to $25,000, with such reversal directly reducing the income tax
provision (See Note 2).

Preferred dividends of $341,000 and $166,000 for the six months and quarter 
ended June 30, 1996, respectively, reflect dividends associated with the
Company's Redeemable Preferred Stock, $10.00 par value, issued on August 31,
1995 (See Note 1).  On March 31, 1996, the Company, as required, redeemed
50,000 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that were issued. 
Annual dividend payments required are $.70 per share.

The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following measures of liquidity are drawn from the Company's consolidated
financial statements.
                                               June 30,        December 31,
                                                 1996              1995    

Working capital (in thousands)                  $ <284>           $   38
 (Current assets less current liabilities)

Current ratio                                      0.9               1.0
 (Current assets/current liabilities)

Quick ratio                                        0.4               0.4
 (Cash and receivables/current liabilities)

Working capital decreased $322,000 from December 31, 1995 to June 30, 1996 due
to a $490,000 increase in current liabilities, partially offset by a $168,000
increase in current assets.  Cash, accounts receivable, deferred taxes and
other current assets increased $8,000, $142,000, $44,000 and $47,000,
respectively, while inventory decreased $73,000.  The increase in accounts
receivable and decrease in inventory resulted from an increase in sales in the
second quarter of 1996 as compared to the fourth quarter of 1995.  The
increase in current liabilities is due to increases in the current portion of
redeemable preferred stock and accounts payable of $500,000 and $286,000,
respectively, partially offset by decreases in accrued expenses, preferred
dividends payable and state taxes payable of $185,000, $67,000 and $44,000,
respectively.

Cash provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 1996 was
$1,139,000.

The Company has not paid cash dividends on its Common Stock and does not
anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

The Company has financed its capital requirements primarily from cash flow
generated from operations and borrowings from its affiliates.  

Capital expenditures in 1996 for property, plant and equipment are expected to
be approximately $300,000.  These capital expenditures will primarily consist
of equipment needed to assemble and package the Company's second generation
nitroglycerin products.

Health-Chem is a borrower along with its affiliates, including the Company,
under the terms of a $6,000,000 line of credit with The First National Bank of
Maryland.  Pacific Combining Corporation ("Pacific"), a subsidiary of Health-
Chem, is a borrower under the terms of a $1,750,000 term loan with The First
National Bank of Maryland.  Borrowings under the line of credit and term loan
are collateralized by a pledge of substantially all of the assets of Health-
Chem, Pacific, the Company, and Health-Chem's other operating subsidiaries
with the exception of real estate.  The line of credit and term loan, which
expire on October 15, 1997 and November 15, 2000, respectively, are subject to
various financial covenants.  At June 30, 1996, Health-Chem and its affiliates
were in compliance with the covenants as amended.

As part of the Plan of Reorganization and Asset Exchange Agreement by and
among Health-Chem, Herculite, and the Company effective August 31, 1995, the
Company and Hercon have incurred financial obligations to Health-Chem and its
other affiliates, including the following:

  . On August 31, 1995, Hercon issued to Health-Chem a $7,000,000, 9%
    Subordinated Promissory Note in exchange for the then outstanding
    borrowings from affiliates.  Interest payments associated with this
    note are due semi-annually and, as required, commenced March 31, 1996,
    with the principal amount of $7,000,000 payable on March 31, 1999. 
    Prior to August 31, 1995, interest associated with borrowings from
    affiliates was at a rate equal to the prime rate charged by The First
    National Bank of Maryland.

  . The Company is required to make semi-annual preferred dividend
    payments to Herculite at the annual rate of $.70 per share on the
    then-outstanding shares of the redeemable preferred stock, $10.00 par
    value, issued to Herculite in 1995.  In March 1996, the Company, as
    required, commenced the semi-annual dividend payments and redeemed,
    for $500,000, 50,000 shares of the 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock
    issued to Herculite.  Additional required redemption payments are
    $1,000,000 annually in 1997 through 2004 and $1,500,000 in 2005.

  . Pursuant to a Corporate Services Agreement between the Company and
    Health-Chem, Health-Chem provides or otherwise makes available to the
    Company certain general corporate services provided by Health-Chem's
    corporate staff, including, but not limited to, accounting, tax,
    corporate communications, legal, data processing, purchasing, human
    resources, financial and other administrative staff functions, and
    arranges for administration of insurance and employee benefit
    programs.  The Company reimburses Health-Chem for the actual out-of-
    pocket cost to Health-Chem or, for those services not directly
    attributable to the Company, reimburses them based upon a method
    (allocation based upon the Company's net sales as a percentage of
    Health-Chem's consolidated net sales) which is considered by the
    Company to be reasonable.  The Company reimbursed Health-Chem
    approximately $570,000 and $374,000 for the six months ended June 30,
    1996 and 1995, respectively.  The Agreement has an initial term
    expiring on December 31, 1997 and will automatically renew for
    successive one-year terms.  The Company will be required to provide 30
    days' notice prior to cancellation of the Agreement.

  . Pursuant to a tax sharing agreement between the Company and Health-
    Chem, the Company is required to pay Health-Chem as it uses its net
    operating loss and tax credit carryforwards to offset future taxable
    income.  At June 30, 1996, the maximum amount of future such payments
    was $502,000.

The semi-annual interest payment on the subordinated promissory note is
$315,000 and the semi-annual dividend on the preferred stock currently
outstanding is $332,500.  In addition to the cumulative dividends and interest
payments, the Company is obligated to redeem the preferred stock and repay the
promissory note as described above.  The Company anticipates that internally
generated funds may not be sufficient to provide the Company with cash to meet
all of these retirement and redemption obligations and thus the Company may
need to raise additional capital from third parties.
