                         Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors of
   Curative Health Services, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of directly identifiable assets and
liabilities of the Procuren(R) Operations of Curative Health Services, Inc.
("Procuren(R) Operations" as described in Note 1) as of December 31, 2000 and
1999 and the related statements of revenues and expenses, and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
management of Curative Health Services, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the directly identifiable assets and liabilities of
Procuren(R) Operations as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and its revenues and
expenses and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

1. BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements include directly identifiable assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses and cash flows of the Procuren(R) Operations
of Curative Health Services, Inc. ("Procuren(R) Operations"). Procuren(R) is a
product line of Curative Health Services, Inc. (the "Company"). The Company is a
disease management company in the chronic wound care business. The Company
manages a nationwide network of Wound Care Centers that offer patients a
multi-disciplinary comprehensive wound treatment program. Procuren(R) is a
treatment that is provided at the wound care centers.

Procuren(R) Operations was not a separate legal entity and, as such, was an
integral part of the Company's operations. As a result, separate financial
statements were not maintained for the operations sold to Cytomedix, Inc.
("Cytomedix"). The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the
books and records of the Company and do not purport to reflect the assets and
liabilities and results of operations and cash flows that would have resulted if
Procuren(R) Operations had operated as a separate entity. Rather, these
financial statements were prepared for the purpose of complying with rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, in conjunction with
Cytomedix's Registration Statement on Form SB-2, which indicate that certain
financial statements are required for Procuren(R) Operations.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SALE

On October 12, 2000, the Company announced the sale of certain assets related to
its Procuren(R) Operations to Cytomedix. The sale was finalized on January 2,
2001. The sale price for the Procuren(R) Operations was approximately $3.8
million, of which $2.1 million was paid in cash and the Company was issued a
note for $1.7 million by Cytomedix which is payable in full in April 2001. In
addition, as part of the consideration for taking the $1.7 million note from
Cytomedix, the Company was issued 600,845 warrants to purchase shares of common
stock of Cytomedix for $.50 per share. Under the agreement, Cytomedix will
acquire the Company's assets associated with Procuren(R) Operations and will be
the exclusive manufacturer of the Procuren(R) solution. The Company will
continue to be the exclusive distributor of the product in the United States and
will receive royalties based on the sales of the products that are developed
from the associated patents on sales outside the United States.


                                                                               5

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in
the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK: Substantially all of the Company's revenues have
been generated from Wound Care Centers which the Company has established as
cooperative ventures with acute care hospitals in the United States to provide a
multi-disciplinary treatment protocol for chronic wounds. The Company sells
Procuren(R) to acute care hospitals and other health care providers. Credit is
extended based on an evaluation of the hospital's financial condition and
collateral is generally not required.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: Accounts receivable represents the Procuren(R) portion of
the outstanding receivable from hospitals, net of the allowance for bad debts.

INVENTORIES: Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market on a
first-in, first-out basis. Inventories consist principally of the consumable
supplies required for the manufacture of Procuren(R).

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of
accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization of
property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives (generally 4 to 7 years). Leasehold improvements are
amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset,
whichever is shorter. Total direct expenses include depreciation and
amortization expense related to the assets sold of approximately $741,000 and
$883,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

SECURITY DEPOSITS: Consists principally of amounts held by landlords under
leases for the Company's Procuren(R) Operations' processing facilities and New
York warehouse.

3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS: Patents and trademarks consist of costs of filing
patents and trademarks. Costs and expenses related to patents and trademarks are
being amortized over the estimated life of the patent (17 years) or trademark
(20 years) using the straight-line method. Total other expenses include
amortization expense related to patents and trademarks of approximately $39,000
and $52,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

LIABILITIES: Total liabilities include trade payables related to the Procuren(R)
blood processing facilities and accrued expenses such as wages, benefits, rents
and other miscellaneous expenses.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS: The Company grants stock options for a fixed
number of shares of its common stock to employees with the exercise price equal
to the fair value of the shares at the date of grant. Footnote disclosure
related to the Company's stock-based compensation plans has not been included in
the accompanying financial statements and footnotes because Procuren(R)
Operations is not a separate legal entity for which stock options were issued
and outstanding for the years presented.

INCOME TAXES: The Company provides for income taxes using the liability method
in accordance with FASB No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Corporate
allocations for income tax liability and expense relating to Procuren(R)

consolidated group and, therefore, any applicable income tax is recognized by
the parent of the consolidated group, Curative Health Services, Inc.

4. STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES

REVENUES: Revenues are recorded when products are dispensed. Total revenues
include actual charges to hospitals for Procuren(R) and estimates of Procuren(R)
revenue in instances where Procuren(R) charges are not separately stated
(approximately $261,000 and $372,000 for the years ended December 31, 2000 and
1999, respectively), and fees related to operation of the Procuren(R) blood
processing facilities.

COST OF REVENUES: Cost of revenues represents the cost of producing Procuren(R).
These costs include raw materials, labor, and overhead such as rent,
depreciation, utilities, and other costs of operating the blood processing
facilities.


                                                                               7

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Set forth below is unaudited condensed combined financial information showing
the pro forma effects of the acquisition on January 2, 2001 by Cytomedix,
Inc. of certain assets from Curative Health Services, Inc. related to the
development and production of Curative's chronic wound care treatment agent,
Procuren, herein referred to as Procuren-Registered Trademark- Operations. We
have derived the pro forma condensed combined financial information from
Cytomedix's audited financial statements and Procuren-Registered Trademark-
Operation's unaudited financial statements, each as of and for the year ended
December 31, 2000. No events occurred between December 31, 2000 and January
2, 2001 that materially affected the financial position of either Cytomedix,
Inc. or Procuren Operations.

The pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is presented as if
the purchase of the assets, the issuance of the promissory notes, and the
grant of the warrants to purchase Cytomedix common stock had occurred as of
the beginning of the period presented.

The pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations Cytomedix would have obtained had the
acquisition of Procuren-Registered Trademark- Operations and the promissory
note issuance been completed as of the beginning of the period presented.
Accordingly, actual results will differ from the pro forma results, and the
differences may be material. The information presented is derived from,
should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by
reference to, the separate historical financial statements and the notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form SB-2 or incorporated elsewhere in
this Form SB-2 by reference. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information has been included for comparative purposes only.
