LECTEC CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 1996



(1) General

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
LecTec Corporation (the "Company"), LecTec International Corporation, a
wholly-owned subsidiary, and Pharmadyne Corporation, a fifty-one percent owned
subsidiary(formerly Natus Corporation which was renamed Pharmadyne Corporation).
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The interim financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion
of management, reflect all adjustments (which consist only of adjustments of a
normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results for the year.


(2) Sale of the Direct Marketing Related Assets of the Pharmadyne Subsidiary

During the quarter ended March 31, 1996 the Company completed the sale of
the direct marketing related assets of the Pharmadyne Corporation subsidiary.


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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Product sales for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 were $3,812,332 as
compared with $4,232,402 for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Product sales,
for the third quarter, decreased overall by 9.9% from the prior year. The net
decrease was the result of decreased medical tape product sales and decreased
therapeutic product sales partially offset by increased conductive product
sales. Conductive product sales, the Company's largest product group, increased
by 15.2% from the prior year while medical tape product sales decreased by 14.5%
and therapeutic product sales decreased by 44.6%. Conductive product sales
increased for both diagnostic and hydrogel products as a result of volume
increases and increased market share. The medical tape product sales decrease
was primarily due to the absence of a major tape converter order in the current
year as compared to the prior year. The therapeutic product sales decrease was
primarily the result of decreased direct marketing sales of Natus brand named
products, reductions in pain patch media sales and decreased sales of other
therapeutic products. Product sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1996
were $10,529,893 as compared with $10,822,734 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1995. Product sales, for the first nine months, decreased by 2.7% from
the prior year as a result of decreased medical tape product sales and
therapeutic product sales partially offset by increased conductive product
sales. Conductive product sales increased by 8.6% from the prior year primarily
as a result of volume increases and increased market share. Medical tape product
sales decreased by 11.8% primarily due to the absence of a major tape converter
order in the current year as compared to the prior year which more than offset
increased sales due to a new product offering and sales to a major new retail
customer. Therapeutic product sales decreased 16.6% from the prior year due to
decreased direct marketing sales of Natus brand named products as a result of
the sale of the direct marketing related assets of the Pharmadyne subsidiary,
decreased pain patch media sales volumes and decreased sales of other
therapeutic products.

Gross profit for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was $1,472,905 as
compared with $1,734,732 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Gross
profit as a percent of total revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1996 was
38.6% as compared to 41.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 1995. The decrease in
gross profit percent for the third quarter was primarily a reflection of
decreased sales of higher margin therapeutic products. Gross profit for the
first nine months of fiscal 1996 was $4,109,762 as compared with $4,387,588
compared to the first nine months of fiscal 1995. Gross profit as a percent of
total revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 1996 was 39.0% as compared to
40.5% for the first nine months of fiscal 1995. The decrease in gross profit
percent for the first nine months was primarily due to decreased sales of higher
margin therapeutic products as well as increased raw material costs for all
products.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $803,230 and $1,034,310
during the third quarters of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively. Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the third quarters of fiscal 1996 and
1995, as a percentage of total revenues, were 21.1% and 24.4%, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,212,770 and $2,708,480
during the first nine months of fiscal 1996 and fiscal 1995, respectively.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first nine months of fiscal
1996 and 1995, as a percentage of total revenues, were 30.5% and 25.0%,
respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter
were reduced primarily due to completion of the sale of the direct marketing
related assets of the Pharmadyne subsidiary. Increased selling, general and
administrative expenses associated with the operations of the Pharmadyne
subsidiary and the expenses associated with the sale of the direct marketing
related assets of the Pharmadyne subsidiary were primarily responsible for the
increase in the first nine months.

Research and development expenses for the third quarters of fiscal 1996 and
1995 were $531,675 and $449,235, respectively. Research and development expenses
for the third quarter, as a percentage of total revenues, were 14.0% and 10.6%
for fiscal 1996 and 1995, respectively. Research and development expenses for
the first nine months of fiscal 1996 increased to $1,546,226 from $1,337,607 in
fiscal 1995. Research and development expenses for the first nine months, as a
percentage of total revenues, were 14.7% and 12.4% for fiscal 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The increase in expense for both the third quarter and the first
nine months is primarily attributable to the research and development costs
associated with the non-nicotine smoking cessation product and the pain patch
program.

Other income (expense) decreased in the third quarter of fiscal 1996 to
$6,480 from $15,572 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995. Other income (expense)
decreased in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 to $35,738 from $65,697 in the
first nine months of fiscal 1995. The decline in both the third quarter and the
first nine months resulted primarily from a reduction of interest and dividend
income due to the liquidation of short-term investments to finance the
acquisition of a new therapeutic products production line as well as to finance
the losses associated with the Pharmadyne subsidiary.

The Company had earnings before income tax expense of $144,480 in the third
quarter of fiscal 1996 compared to earnings before income tax expense of
$266,759 in the third quarter of fiscal 1995. The Company had a loss before
income tax expense of $613,496 in the first nine months of fiscal 1996 compared
to earnings before income tax expense of $407,198 in the first nine months of
fiscal 1995. The decrease in earnings before income taxes for the third quarter
and the first nine months was primarily the result of the loss on the sale of
the direct marketing related assets of the Pharmadyne subsidiary, the operating
loss and parent Company expenses associated with the direct marketing activities
of the Pharmadyne subsidiary and increased research and development expense.

The Company did not record a tax benefit in connection with losses
generated during the first nine months as the losses relate primarily to the
Pharmadyne subsidiary and cannot be utilized by the Company at this time.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has used internally generated cash to support growth and
capital spending. The Company has a $1,000,000 line of credit available to meet
current operating requirements. The Company estimates that capital expenditures
will approach $400,000 for equipment and capital improvements during fiscal 1996
with expenditures anticipated to be financed by operations. The Company
continues to have a strong Balance Sheet with no long-term debt and a current
ratio at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1996 of 3.24 as compared to 4.34
at the end of fiscal 1995. Working capital, at the end of the third quarter of
fiscal 1996, decreased to $3,873,170 from $4,490,796 at the end of fiscal 1995.
