                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

================================================================================

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Avitar, Inc. ("Avitar" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned
     subsidiary, Managed Health Benefits Corporation ("MHB"), is in the business
     of providing cost containment services to assist employers and other
     third-party payers in controlling costs of group medical, workers'
     compensation and disability benefits. MHB has targeted certain economically
     significant benefit areas where it believes health benefit payors have
     difficulty in controlling costs: mental health, hospitalization and
     occupational health and safety. Most of MHB's customers are located or
     headquartered in the United States.

     As discussed in Note 2, in May 1995, the Company acquired Avitar, Inc.
     (which changed its name to Avitar Technologies, Inc. ("ATI")). ATI designs,
     develops, manufactures and markets health care products and services. ATI
     sells its products and services primarily to large medical supply
     companies.

     The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been
     prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
     interim financial information, the instructions to Form 10-QSB and
     Regulation S-B (including Item 310(b) thereof). 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
     the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal
     recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
     included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended June
     30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
     for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 1996. The accompanying
     consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
     audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended
     September 30, 1995.

     The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the
     basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of
     assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of
     business. The Company has suffered significant recurring losses from
     operations and has a working capital as of June 30, 1996 of only $271,229.
     The Company raised net proceeds aggregating $1,500,000 during the years
     ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 from the sale of common stock, a total of
     $1,240,000 during the years ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 from the
     issuance of notes, of which $1,040,000 was converted to equity at September
     30, 1995, and $50,000 from the sale of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
     during the three months ended December 31, 1995. The Company was successful
     in obtaining debt financing from a bank (see Note 4) and converting
     $125,000 of the notes described above into equity (see Note 4). In
     addition, the Company raised net proceeds aggregating approximately
     $1,440,000 during May and June 1996 from the sale of common stock. In April
     1996, the Company and Convatec , a division of E.R. Squibb and Sons, Inc.
     ("Convatec"), determined that it was necessary to modify and clairfy their
     rights and obligations under the Supply and the License Agreement in light
     of intervening business developments, facts, and circumstances. The Company
     had entered into these agreements on June 30, 1994 with Calgon Vestal
     Laboratories, Inc., now owned by 

                                       8
   9
     Convatec. In consideration for the amendments to the agreements, Convatec
     immediately compensated the Company $250,000, all of which was recognized
     as income during the quarter ended June 30, 1996. In addition, the amended
     agreements contain certain provisions that eliminate the Company's
     obligation to repay any of the $425,000 received from Convatec in July 1994
     as a licensing fee (the balance of which was also recognized as income
     during the quarter ended June 30, 1996). Based upon current revenues,
     expenses and cash flow projections, the Company believes the current level
     of working capital, anticipated cash flow from operations, and net proceeds
     from the financings noted above will be sufficient to finance the Company's
     operating needs until the combined operations achieve profitability. There
     can be no assurances that forecasted results will be achieved. The
     financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
     recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and
     classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
     unable to continue as a going concern.


2.   ACQUISITION

     The Company (formerly Managed Health Benefits Corporation) acquired Avitar,
     Inc. on May 19, 1995 though a merger transaction. Pursuant to this merger,
     the Company changed its name to Avitar, Inc. The Company is now a holding
     company with two operating subsidiaries, MHB and ATI (see Note 1). The
     results of operations for ATI have been included for the three and nine
     months ended June 30, 1996.

     Pro forma operating results, as if the acquisition had occurred October 1,
     1994 follow. These pro forma results reflect (i) amortization of goodwill
     from October 1, 1994, and (ii) elimination of interest income (expense) on
     the Company's advances to ATI.

4.   NOTES PAYABLE

     In January 1996, the Company obtained a $1,250,000 credit line from Silicon
     Valley Financial Services, a division of Silicon Valley Bank. Under the
     terms of the agreement, Silicon Valley Financial Services will advance
     funds against 80% of the Company's qualified accounts receivable for an
     administrative fee of .25 to .5% and interest at the rate of 2% per month
     of the outstanding loan balance. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
     borrowed approximately $195,000 against its line of credit. The agreement
     also provides for the interest rate to decrease to a rate not lower than
     1.25% per month as the revenues of the Company grow and meet
     pre-established levels.

     In November 1995 and February 1996, the Company repaid certain notes
     payable totaling $75,000 and interest accrued thereon totaling $6,208.
     During March 1996, certain debt holders agreed to exchange their debt
     totaling $125,000, and accrued interest thereon of $2,280, for 127,280
     shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of Series A
     Convertible Preferred Stock entitles its holder to convert it at any time
     into three shares of Common Stock and receive dividends in an amount equal
     to 110% of any dividends paid on the Company's Common Stock into which each
     share is convertible.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION.

The following discussion and analysis includes the operations of ATI only for
the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 and should be read in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto
appearing elsewhere in this report.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     REVENUES

     Sales for the three months ended June 30, 1996 decreased $9,698, or
     approximately 1%, to $1,098,887 from $1,108,585 for the corresponding
     period of the prior year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, sales
     increased $1,497,335, or approximately 72%, to $3,591,472 from $2,094,137
     for the nine months ended June 30, 1995. In addition to the increase in
     revenue from the sales of Medgate OHS&E Software of approximately $74,000
     for the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the change reflects additional
     revenues from the operations of ATI for the three and nine months ended
     June 30, 1996, of $132,510 and $1,563,922; respectively; offset by
     decreases in sales of psychiatric review services of $216,208 and $140,587
     for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 , respectively.

     Other revenues of $492,819 for the three and nine months ended June 30,1996
     reflect income recognized in connection with the amendments to ATI's
     License and Supply Agreements with Convatec.

     OPERATING EXPENSES

     For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the direct costs of sales were
     $682,198, or approximately 62% of sales, as compared to $449,604, or
     approximately 41% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1995. The
     direct costs of sales for the nine months ended June 30, 1996 were
     $2,252,175, or approximately 63% of sales as compared to $700,551, or 33%
     of sales, for the corresponding period of the prior year. Excluding the
     costs associated with the sales of ATI for the three and nine months ended
     June 30, 1996, the direct cost of sales for MHB amounted to $144,161,
     approximately 23% of sales, for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and
     $449,333, approximately 27% of sales, for the nine months ended June 30,
     1996. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 1995, the direct costs
     of sales for MHB were $140,875, approximately 19% of sales, and $391,822,
     approximately 22% of sales, respectively. The higher ratio of direct costs
     to sales for MHB during the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 was
     primarily related to the decrease in MHB sales described above.

     Sales, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
     30, 1996 increased $156,873, or approximately 36%, to $596,312 from
     $439,439 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For the nine
     months ended June 30, 1996, sales, general and administrative expenses
     increased $639,972, or approximately 65%, to $1,753,774 from $1,059,802 for
     the nine months ended June 30, 1995. The increase for the three months
     ended June 30, 1996 resulted mainly from the additional operating expenses
     of ATI of $182,027. For the nine-month period ended June 30, 1996, the
     increase was primarily attributable to the additional operating expenses of
     ATI 

                                       11
   12
     of $758,281, offset in part by a reduction of approximately $33,000 of
     administrative expenses at MHB.

     Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
     amounted to $91,238 compared to $539,672 for corresponding period of the
     prior year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, research and
     development expenses were $260,778 versus $539,672 for the nine months
     ended June 30, 1995. The decrease for the three and nine-month periods
     ended June 30, 1996 was attributable to the non-recurring adjustment for
     research and development expense of $503,943 that was recorded during the
     quarter ended June 30, 1995.

     Amortization of goodwill for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996
     was $139,1926 and $419,782, respectively. For the three and nine months
     ended June 30, 1995, amortization of goodwill amounted to $70,502 which
     covered the period from the date of the acquisition of ATI, May 19, 1995.

     OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

     No interest income was earned for the three months ended June 30, 1996 as
     compared to $84,720 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. For the nine
     months ended June 30, 1996, interest income amounted to $137 as compared to
     $238,361 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The change for the
     three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 is related primarily to the
     interest charges on loans made to ATI prior to the acquisition. Since these
     interest charges were considered not to be collectible, the amount included
     in the interim financial statements for the three and nine months ended
     June 30, 1995 was reversed in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
     September 30, 1995.

     Interest expenses and financing costs were $32,506 for the three months
     ended June 30, 1996 as compared to $63,546 for the corresponding period of
     the prior year. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, interest expenses
     and financing costs were $96,652 as compared to $116,772 for the nine
     months ended June 30, 1995. These changes resulted from interest expenses
     of ATI for the three and nine months ended June 30, 1996 of approximately
     $19,000 and $66,000, respectively, offset in part by a reduction in
     interest expense on MHB's bridge loans for the three and nine months ended
     June 30, 1996 of $50,000 and $86,000, respectively.


     NET INCOME (LOSS)

     Primarily as a result of the factors described above, the Company had net
     income of $41,070 ($0.01 per share) for the three months ended June 30,
     1996, as compared to a net loss of $373,868 ($0.08 per share) for the three
     months ended June 30, 1995. For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, the
     net loss was $709,290 ($0.13 per share) versus a net loss of $166,801
     ($0.03 per share) for the corresponding period of the prior year.

     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

     At June 30, 1996 and September 30, 1995, the Company had working capital
     (deficiency) of $271,229 and ($800,583), respectively and cash and cash
     equivalents of $918,856 and $155,409, respectively. Net cash used in
     operating activities during the nine months ended June 30, 1996 

                                       12
   13
     amounted to $674,560 resulting primarily from an operating loss of
     $709,290, increases in accounts receivable of $237,778, decreases in
     accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer advances of $278,877 and
     increases in inventories and other assets of $63,668; partially offset by
     depreciation and amortization of equipment and goodwill of $564,205 and
     decreases in prepaid expenses of $32,876. Net cash provided by financing
     and investing activities for the same period was $1,438,007 which included
     proceeds from notes payable and sales of preferred stock, common stock, and
     warrants of $1,676,572, repayment of long-term debt, notes payable and
     other of $194,766, and purchase of equipment of $44,069.

     During October 1995, the Company sold 50,000 shares of its Series A
     Convertible Preferred Stock in a private placement for a total of $50,000.
     In March 1996, certain debt holders agreed to exchange their debt totaling
     $125,000, and accrued interest thereon of $2,280, for 127,280 shares of
     Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Each share of this Series A
     Convertible Preferred Stock entitles its holder to convert it at any time
     into three shares of the Company's Common Stock and receive dividends in an
     amount equal to 110% of any dividends paid on the Company's Common Stock
     into which each share is convertible.

     In January 1996, the Company obtained a $1,250,000 credit line from Silicon
     Valley Financial Services, a division of Silicon Valley Bank. Under the
     terms of the agreement, Silicon Valley Financial Services will advance
     funds against 80% of the Company's qualified accounts receivable for an
     administrative fee of .25 to .5% and interest at the rate of 2% per month
     of the outstanding loan balance. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had
     borrowed approximately $195,000 against its line of credit. The agreement
     also provides for the interest rate to decrease to a rate not lower than
     1.25% per month as the revenues of the Company grow and meet
     pre-established levels.

     During April 1996, the Company and Convatec, a division of E.R. Squibb &
     Sons, Inc. ("Convatec") determined that it was necessary to modify and
     clarify their rights and obligations under the Supply Agreement in light of
     intervening business developments, facts, and circumstances. The Company
     entered into these agreements on June 30, 1994 with Calgon Vestal
     Laboratories, Inc., now owned by Convatec. In consideration for the
     amendments to the agreements, Convatec immediately compensated the Company
     $250,000, all of which was recognized as income during the quarter ending
     June 30, 1996. In addition, the amended agreements contain termination
     provisions that eliminate the Company's obligation to repay any of the
     $425,000 received from Convatec in July 1994 as a licensing fee (the
     balance of which was recorded as income during the quarter ended June 30,
     1996).

     In April 1996, the Company negotiated a settlement with an investment firm
     that assisted the Company in the placement of its common stock under
     Regulation S in 1994. Under the settlement, the Company received
     approximately $89,000 from the exercise of the warrants granted to this
     firm. In May and June 1996, the Company completed Regulation S placements
     of 1,472,144 shares of its common stock to offshore investors resulting in
     net proceeds of approximately $1,250,000. In addition, the Company sold
     114,116 shares of its common stock during May and June 1996 for an
     aggregate amount of $100,000.

     For the balance of fiscal year 1996, the Company's cash requirements are
     expected to include primarily the funding of any operating losses, the
     payment of accrued professional fees and expenses incurred in relation to
     the acquisition of ATI, and the repayment of the outstanding 

                                       13
   14
     amount owed by ATI to PK&S ($275,000 principal amount plus all the accrued
     interest thereof) if and to the extent that the Company has sufficient
     funds available for such payment.

     Operating revenues of the Company increased significantly during fiscal
     year 1995 and are expected to continue increasing during fiscal year 1996.
     Based on current sales, expense and cash flow projections, the Company
     believes that the current level of cash on hand and the anticipated cash
     flow from operations would be sufficient to fund operations until the
     combined operations achieve profitability. Although the Company had
     expected its combined operations to achieve profitability and generate
     positive cash flow by the third quarter of calendar year 1996, the lower
     than anticipated level of sales of products and services at ATI and MHB
     will prevent the company from reaching this level of performance until at
     least the forth calendar quarter of 1996. The longer-term cash requirements
     of the Company to fund operating activities, purchase capital equipment and
     possibly expand the business are expected to be met by the anticipated cash
     flow from operations. However, because there can be no assurances that
     sales will materialize as forecasted, management will continue to closely
     monitor and attempt to control costs at the Company and will continue to
     actively seek any needed additional capital on favorable terms.

     As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations and working
     capital deficit, the report of its independent certified public accountants
     relating to the financial statements for the fiscal year ended September
     30, 1995 contains an explanatory paragraph stating substantial doubt about
     the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Such report also
     states that the ultimate outcome of this matter could not be determined as
     of the date of such report (November 17, 1995). The Company's plans to
     address the situation are presented above. However, there are no assurances
     that these endeavors will be successful or sufficient.
