EXPLANATORY NOTE

The 2000 and 1999 consolidated  financial  statements  contained in this Amended
Annual  Report  on Form  10-K/A  have  been  restated  solely as a result of the
reclassification  of the Company's  Series B and Series C Convertible  Preferred
Stock  (collectively,  the "Series B and Series C  Preferred")  from  redeemable
preferred stock to stockholders'  equity.  The effects of these restatements are
to increase  stockholders' equity by $15.9 million and $10.3 million at December
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to the following amounts (in thousands):


                                                   December 31,
                                                2000          1999
                                                ----          ----
Before restatement........................    $37,863       $27,659
After restatement.........................     53,781        37,989

The  carrying  amount of the  Series B and  Series C  Preferred  was  originally
reported  in  stockholders'  equity  in the  consolidated  financial  statements
included in the  quarterly  reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters in the
period March 31, 1999  through  September  30, 2000 and in the Annual  Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,  1999.  However,  because of certain
redemption features of the Series B and Series C Preferred,  the carrying amount
was  reclassified  from  stockholders'  equity to redeemable  preferred stock at
December 31, 2000 in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K.  After further
consideration,  the Company has determined  that the redemption  features of the
Series B and  Series C  Preferred  are within the  control  of the  Company  and
therefore,  the carrying  amount  should be reflected in  stockholders'  equity,
consistent with its original classification.  Accordingly, the Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the period March 31, 1999 through  September  30, 2000 will not
be amended.

These  restatements  had no  effect  on the  Company's  net loss or net loss per
share,  total assets or total  liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2000
or 1999.

For additional information, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission for the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein.


                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

The  terms  "we",   "our",   "us," "Company"  and  "Integra"  refer  to  Integra
LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation  and its  subsidiaries  unless  the  context
suggests otherwise.

Integra  develops,  manufactures  and  markets  medical  devices,  implants  and
biomaterials.  Our operations consist of (1) Integra  NeuroSciences,  which is a
leading  provider of  implants,  devices,  and  monitors  used in  neurosurgery,
neurotrauma,  and  related  critical  care and (2) Integra  LifeSciences,  which
develops and manufactures a variety of medical  products and devices,  including
products based on our proprietary tissue regeneration  technology which are used
to treat soft tissue and  orthopedic  conditions.  Integra  NeuroSciences  sells
primarily through a direct sales  organization,  and Integra  LifeSciences sells
primarily through strategic alliances and distributors.

Integra was founded in 1989 and over the next decade  built a product  portfolio
based  on  resorbable  collagen  and a  product  development  platform  based on
technologies  directed  toward  tissue  regeneration.  During 1999 and 2000,  we
expanded into the  neurosurgical  market,  an attractive  niche market,  through
acquisitions and introductions of new products.  As a result,  our 2000 revenues
increased to $71.6 million,  compared to $42.9 million in 1999 and $17.6 million
in 1998.

In 2000, we sold over 1,000 different products to over 2,000 hospitals and other
customers in more than 80 countries.  We generate  revenues from product  sales,
strategic  alliances  and  royalties  and invested  $7.5 million in research and
development  relating to new products,  including those using our  biomaterials,
peptide chemistry and collagen engineering technologies.

Integra  NeuroSciences  accounted  for 64% of total  revenues in 2000. We market
these  products to  neurosurgeons  and  critical  care units,  which  comprise a
focused group of  hospital-based  practitioners.  As a result, we believe we are
able to  access  this  market  through  a  cost-effective  sales  and  marketing
infrastructure.  In the United States,  we sell these products  through a direct
sales force  organized  into five regions.  We employ 44 direct sales  personnel
called  neurospecialists  and  five  regional  managers.  We also  employ  seven
clinical  education   specialists  who  directly  educate  and  train  both  the
neurospecialists and our customers in the use of our products,  and a scientific
director  with a Ph.D in  neurosciences.  The sales  organization  has more than
doubled in size since the  acquisition  of the first  neurosciences  business in
early  1999.  We  believe  this  expansion  allows  for  smaller,  more  focused
territories,  greater  participation in trade shows and more extensive marketing
efforts.   We  also  sell  directly  in  the  United   Kingdom,   through  three
neurospecialists.  Outside of the United States and the United Kingdom,  we sell
our products through approximately 80 specialized neurosurgical distributors and
dealers.

                                       2



For the majority of the products we manufacture under Integra  LifeSciences,  we
partner with market  leaders,  which we believe  allows us to achieve our growth
objectives cost effectively while enabling us to focus our management efforts on
developing new products. These non-neurosurgical products address large, diverse
markets,  and we believe that they can be more cost effectively promoted through
leveraging  marketing  partners than through  developing a sales  infrastructure
ourselves.  Our strategic alliances include Ethicon, Inc., a division of Johnson
& Johnson,  Sulzer  Dental,  a division  of Sulzer  Medica  Ltd.,  the  Genetics
Institute division of American Home Products Corporation,  and Medtronic Sofamor
Danek.

STRATEGY

Our goal is to become a leader in the development,  manufacture and marketing of
medical  devices,  implants and biomaterials in the markets in which we compete.
Our products are  principally  used in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal and
cranial,  soft-tissue  and  orthopedic  conditions  and we intend to expand  our
presence in those markets. Key elements of our strategy include the following:

EXPAND OUR  NEUROSURGERY  MARKET  PRESENCE.  Through  acquisitions  and internal
growth, we have rapidly grown Integra  NeuroSciences  into a leading provider of
products for the neurosurgery  market. We believe there exists additional growth
potential in this market through:

     o    increasing market share of existing product lines;

     o    expanding our product portfolio through acquisitions; and

     o    expand our direct distribution into other international markets.

CONTINUE TO DEVELOP NEW AND  INNOVATIVE  MEDICAL  PRODUCTS.  As evidenced by our
development of INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template, Biomend(TM), Biomend(TM)
Extend(TM)  and  DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft Matrix,  we have a leading  proprietary
resorbable  implant  franchise.  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template is a
proprietary  resorbable  matrix  used to  enable  the human  body to  regenerate
functional  dermal tissue.  In 1999, we introduced  our  DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft
Matrix to close brain and spine membranes. We are currently developing a variety
of  innovative  neurosurgical  and other  medical  products  as well as  seeking
expanded applications for our existing products.

CONTINUE TO FORM STRATEGIC ALLIANCES FOR INTEGRA LIFESCIENCES  PRODUCTS. We have
collaborated  with  leading  companies to develop and market the majority of our
non-neurosurgical  product  lines.  These  products  address  large and  diverse
markets which we believe can be more cost effectively accessed through marketing
partners  than through  developing  our own sales  infrastructure.  In 1999,  we
partnered  with  Ethicon,  Inc.  to market our  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration
Template and intend to pursue additional strategic alliances selectively.

ADDITIONAL  STRATEGIC  ACQUISITIONS.  Since March 1999 we have  completed  three
acquisitions  in  the  neurosurgical   market.  We  intend  to  seek  additional
acquisitions  in this  market  and in other  niche  medical  technology  markets
characterized  by  high  margins,  fragmented  competition  and  focused  target
customers.

PRODUCTS

We  manufacture  and market a broad range of medical  products for the diagnosis
and treatment of spinal and cranial disorders, soft tissue repair and orthopedic
conditions.  We  are  also  actively  engaged  in  a  variety  of  research  and
development programs relating to new products or product enhancements  utilizing
our tissue regeneration technology. Our principal products and product lines are
summarized in the following table.

INTEGRA NEUROSCIENCES

IN GENERAL

We  manufacture  and market a multi-line  offering of  innovative  neurosurgical
devices used for brain and spine  injuries.  We intend to be the  neurosurgeon's
and  neuro-intensive  care unit's  "one-stop shop" for these  products.  For the
intensive  care unit, we sell the  Camino(R),  Ventrix(R)  and LICOX(R) lines of
intracranial  pressure,  temperature and oxygen monitoring  systems and external
drainage systems manufactured under the Camino(R), Heyer-Schulte(R) and Clinical
Neuro  Systems(TM)  brand names. For the operating room, we sell a wide range of
products,  including  Heyer-Schulte(R)   cerebrospinal  fluid  ("CSF")  shunting
products,  the DuraGen(R) Dural Graft Matrix, the Selector(R) Integra Ultrasonic
Aspirator,  Integra Coblation(R)  Neurosurgical  Systems,  Neuro Navigational(R)
endoscopes, and Redmond(TM)-Ruggles(TM) neurosurgical instruments.

INDUSTRY

The  neurosurgical  device  market  consists of medical  products,  implants and
instruments used for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of chronic diseases
and acute  injuries  involving  the brain and spinal chord.  These  products are
primarily used in the operating  room and intensive  care unit by  neurosurgeons
and  nurses.  According  to  industry  sources,  the size of the  market for our
products is approximately $400 million and is expected to grow at annual rate of
6-8%.

Integra  NeuroSciences  addresses  the  market  need  created  by trauma  cases,
hydrocephalus   and  other  conditions  of  the  brain  and  spine  through  its
established market positions in intracranial monitoring, neurosurgical shunting,
dural repair, tumor ablation and specialty neurosurgical instrumentation.

Intracranial  monitoring is used by  neurosurgeons  in  diagnosing  and treating
cases of severe head trauma and other diseases.  Integra NeuroSciences currently
has more  than  3,000  intracranial  monitors  installed  worldwide.  There  are
approximately  400,000 cases of head trauma each year in the United  States,  of
which the portion that requires monitoring and intervention  represents a market
of approximately $40 million.

                                       6



Hydrocephalus is an incurable  condition resulting from an imbalance between the
amount of CSF  produced by the body and the rate at which CSF is absorbed by the
brain.  This  condition  causes the  ventricles  of the brain to enlarge and the
pressure inside the head to increase.  Hydrocephalus  often is present at birth,
but may also result from head trauma, spina bifida, intraventricular hemorrhage,
intracranial   tumors  and  cysts.  The  most  common  method  of  treatment  of
hydrocephalus  is the  insertion of a shunt into the  ventricular  system of the
brain  to  divert  the  flow of CSF out of the  brain.  A  pressure  valve  then
maintains  the CSF at normal  levels  within the  ventricles.  According  to the
Hydrocephalus  Association,  hydrocephalus  affects  approximately  one  in  500
children born in the United States.  Approximately  80% of total CSF shunt sales
address  birth-related  hydrocephalus with the remaining 20% addressing surgical
procedures involving excess CSF due to head trauma.

Based on industry  sources,  we believe that the total United  States market for
the  management  of  CSF,  including  monitoring,   shunting  and  drainage,  is
approximately  $70 million.  Of that amount,  it is estimated that a little more
than half constitutes sales of monitoring products,  and the balance constitutes
sales of shunts and drains for the management of hydrocephalus.

Our Selector(R) Integra Ultrasonic Aspirator and Integra  Coblation(R)  products
address the market for the surgical  destruction  and removal of cancer  tumors.
More than 110,000  metastatic brain tumors are diagnosed  annually in the United
States.  According to the American Cancer  Society,  brain tumors are the second
fastest  growing  cause of cancer  death among  people over 65 and are among the
most common types of cancer found in children.

Our  DuraGen(R)  product  line  addresses  the  market  for  dural  substitutes,
including cranial and spinal procedures.

Integra   NeuroSciences'   manufacture  and  production  of  minimally  invasive
neuroendoscopy  products addresses a market growing rapidly, in part, because of
the  introduction  of new procedures  called third  ventriculostomies  which are
increasingly  substituting  for  shunt  placement  for  patients  who  meet  the
criteria.

Integra NeuroSciences'  Redmond(TM)-Ruggles(TM)  line of neurosurgery and spinal
instrumentation   products,   including   hand-held   spinal  and   neurosurgery
instruments such as retractors,  kerrisons,  dissectors and curettes,  addresses
the market for neurosurgical instruments.

NEURO INTENSIVE CARE UNIT

THE MONITORING OF BRAIN PARAMETERS.  Integra  NeuroSciences  sells the Camino(R)
and  Ventrix(R)  lines of  intracranial  pressure  monitoring  systems,  and the
LICOX(R)  Brain Tissue Oxygen  Monitoring  System.  The Camino(R) and Ventrix(R)
systems  measure the  intracranial  pressure of the CSF, and the LICOX(R) system
allows for continuous  qualitative  regional  monitoring of dissolved  oxygen in
body fluids and tissues.  Core  technologies in the brain  parameter  monitoring
product line include the design and manufacture of the disposable catheters used
in   the   monitoring   systems,   pressure   transducer   technology,   optical
detection/fiber  optic  transmission  technology,  sensor  characterization  and
calibration technology and monitor design and manufacture. Integra NeuroSciences
distributes  the LICOX(R)  Brain Tissue Oxygen  Monitoring  System in the United
States and the United Kingdom for GMSmbH ("GMS") of Germany.  On March 16, 2001,
we signed an agreement to acquire all of the stock of GMS.  The  acquisition  is
expected to close in the second quarter of 2001.

EXTERNAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM PRODUCT LINE. Integra NeuroSciences's external drainage
systems are manufactured under the Camino(R), Heyer-Shulte(R) and Clinical Neuro
Systems(TM) brand names. We manufacture the drainage systems in both Anasco,
Puerto Rico and in Exton, Pennsylvania.

NEURO OPERATING ROOM

SHUNTS  FOR  HYDROCEPHALUS  MANAGEMENT.   Our  line  of  shunting  products  for
hydrocephalus  management  includes the Novus(R),  LPV(R) and Pudenz(TM) shunts,
ventricular, peritoneal and cardiac catheters, physician-specified hydrocephalus
management  shunt kits,  Ommaya(R) CSF  reservoirs  and  Spetzler(R)  lumbar and
syringo-peritoneal  shunts.  Shunts are medical devices implanted in the patient
to drain excess CSF from the central nervous system  into the peritoneal  cavity
or externally.

DURAGEN(R)  PRODUCT  LINE.  The  DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft  Matrix is a resorbable
collagen  matrix  indicated for the repair of the dura mater.  The dura mater is
the thick  membrane  that  contains the CSF within the brain and the spine.  The
dura mater must be penetrated  during brain surgery and is often damaged  during
spinal  surgery.  In either case,  surgeons often close or repair the dura mater
with a graft.  The graft may consist of other tissue taken from elsewhere in the
patient's body, or it may be one of the dural substitute  products  currently on
the market which are made of synthetic  materials,  processed human cadaver,  or
bovine pericardium. We believe that each of the prevailing methods for repairing
the dura mater suffer from shortcomings  addressed by the DuraGen(R) Dural Graft
Matrix.

Our  DuraGen(R)  product  has been shown in clinical  trials to be an  effective
means for closing the dura mater without the need for suturing, which allows the
neurosurgeon to conclude the operation more  efficiently.  In addition,  because
the DuraGen(R) product is ultimately  resorbed by the body and replaced with new
natural tissue, the patient avoids some of the risks associated with a permanent
implant inside the cranium.


SELECTOR(R)  INTEGRA ULTRASONIC  ASPIRATOR.  The Selector(R)  Integra Ultrasonic
Aspirator uses very high frequency sound waves to pulverize  cancer tumors,  and
allows the  surgeon to remove the damaged  tumor  tissue by  aspiration.  Unlike
other surgical techniques, ultrasonic surgery selectively dissects and fragments
soft tissue or calcified hard tissue leaving essential  elastic  structures such
as nerves  and blood  vessels  intact.  Ultrasonic  aspiration  facilitates  the
ablation of unwanted tissue adjacent or attached to vital structures.

INTEGRA   COBLATION(R).   Integra  NeuroSciences  is  the  exclusive  sales  and
distribution  partner for ArthroCare  Corporation's  Coblation(R) based surgical
system  for  neurosurgery  in North  America  and  certain  other  international
markets.  ArthroCare's  Coblation(R)  products  allow surgeons to operate with a
high level of precision and control,  limiting damage to surrounding  tissue and
thereby  potentially  reducing  pain  and  speeding  recovery  for the  patient.
Coblation(R)  products,  including the  neurosurgery  system that we distribute,
operate at lower temperatures than traditional  electrosurgical or laser surgery
tools and enable  surgeons  to remove,  shrink or sculpt soft tissue and to seal
bleeding  vessels.   ArthroCare's  soft-tissue  surgery  systems  consist  of  a
controller unit and an assortment of disposable devices that are specialized for
specific types of surgery.  We are working with ArthroCare to develop handpieces
and other accessories particularly for the neurosurgical application.

REDMOND(TM)-RUGGLES(TM)   PRODUCT  LINE.  We  provide  neurosurgeons  and  spine
surgeons  with a full  line of  specialty  hand-held  spinal  and  neurosurgical
instruments  sold under the  Redmond(TM)  and  Ruggles(TM)  brand  names.  These
products include retractors,  kerrisons,  dissectors and curettes. Major product
segments  include  spinal  instruments,  microsurgical  neuro  instruments,  and
products  customized by Integra  NeuroSciences  and sold through other companies
and  distributors.   Most  of  these  products  are  manufactured  to  Integra's
specifications by specialty surgical steel fabricators in Germany.

NEURO NAVIGATIONAL(R) ENDOSCOPE PRODUCT LINE. We manufacture and sell disposable
minimally invasive neuroendoscopy products under the Neuro Navigational(R) brand
name. These fiber optic  instruments are used to facilitate  minimally  invasive
neurosurgery.

                                       8



PERIPHERAL NERVE CONDUIT PRODUCT LINE. Although peripheral nerves are one of the
few tissues of the body that spontaneously  regenerate, in the majority of cases
they fail to make useful, functional connections. Consequently, peripheral nerve
injuries  often result in permanent  loss of sensation  and motor  control.  The
conventional method of treatment for a severed peripheral nerve is microsurgical
repair or nerve grafts. Our peripheral nerve  regeneration  device is a collagen
matrix tube designed to facilitate  regeneration of the severed nerve and to act
as a bridge between the severed nerve ends. The collagen  conduit supports nerve
regeneration and is then absorbed into the body. Our  pre-clinical  studies have
demonstrated the closure of 5-cm gaps in peripheral nerves in non-human primates
with  restored  nerve   function.   Our  proprietary   resorbable   conduit  for
regenerating and reconnecting  peripheral  nerves has entered clinical trials in
Europe.

research and development  programs are generally  constructed  around  strategic
alliances with leading medical device companies.


PRODUCTS

PRIVATE LABEL PRODUCTS

INTEGRA(R) DERMAL REGENERATION TEMPLATE. INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template
is designed to enable the human body to  regenerate  functional  dermal  tissue.
Human skin consists of the epidermis and the dermis.  The epidermis is the thin,
outer layer that serves as a protective seal for the body, and the dermis is the
thicker layer underneath that provides  structural  strength and flexibility and
supports the viability of the  epidermis  through a vascular  network.  The body
normally responds to severe damage to the dermis by producing scar tissue in the
wound area. This scar tissue is accompanied by contraction  that pulls the edges
of the wound closer which,  while closing the wound,  often permanently  reduces
flexibility. In severe cases, this contraction leads to a reduction in the range
of  motion  for  the  patient,  who  subsequently  requires  extensive  physical
rehabilitation or  reconstructive  surgery.  Physicians  treating severe wounds,
such as full-thickness burns, seek to minimize scarring and contraction.

INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration  Template was designed to minimize scar formation
and  wound  contracture  in  full  thickness  skin  defects.  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal
Regeneration Template consists of two layers, a thin  collagen-glycosaminoglycan
sponge and a silicone membrane.  The product is applied with the sponge layer in
contact with the excised wound. The sponge material serves as a template for the
growth of new  functional  dermal  tissue.  The outer  membrane  layer acts as a
temporary  substitute  for the  epidermis to control  water vapor  transmission,
prevent re-injury and minimize bacterial contamination.

INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration  Template is marketed and sold, except in Japan,
by Ethicon.  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  was approved by the FDA
under a premarket approval application ("PMA") for the post-excisional treatment
of  life-threatening  full-thickness  or deep  partial-thickness  thermal injury
where  sufficient  autograft  is not  available  at the time of  excision or not
desirable due to the physiological condition of the patient.

We estimate that the worldwide market for use of skin replacement products (such
as INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration  Template) in the treatment of severe burns is
approximately  $75  million.  However,  the  potential  market  for  the  use of
INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  for  reconstructive  surgery and


                                       9



the  treatment  of chronic  wounds is much  larger,  which we  estimate to be in
excess  of $1  billion.  In  June  1999,  Integra  LifeSciences  entered  into a
strategic  alliance with Ethicon to distribute  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration
Template throughout the world, except Japan. As part of that strategic alliance,
Ethicon has agreed to pay for clinical trials to support applications to the FDA
for these broader  indications.  We cannot be certain that such clinical  trials
will be completed,  or that INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template will receive
the approvals necessary to permit Ethicon to promote it for such indications.

BIOMEND(TM)  ABSORBABLE COLLAGEN MEMBRANE.  Our BioMend(TM)  Absorbable Collagen
Membrane is used for guided tissue  regeneration  in  periodontal  surgery.  The
BioMend(TM)  membrane is inserted  between the gum and the tooth after  surgical
treatment of periodontal  disease,  preventing  the gum tissue from  interfering
with the regeneration of the periodontal ligament that holds the tooth in place.
The BioMend(TM)  product is intended to be absorbed after  approximately four to
seven weeks,  avoiding the  requirement  for additional  surgical  procedures to
remove a non-absorbable membrane.  BioMend(R) Extend(TM),  which was launched in
1999, has the same  indication for use as BioMend(R),  except that it absorbs in
approximately  16 weeks. The BioMend(TM) and BioMend(TM)  Extend(TM)  Absorbable
Collagen Membrane is sold through the Sulzer Dental division of Sulzer Medica.

COLLAGEN  MATRICES  FOR USE WITH BONE  GROWTH  FACTORS.  We supply the  Genetics
Institute  division of American Home Products with absorbable  collagen  sponges
for use in developing bone regeneration  implants.  Since 1994, we have supplied
absorbable collagen sponges for use with Genetics Institute's  recombinant human
bone morphogenic protein-2 (rhBMP-2).  Recombinant human BMP-2 is a manufactured
version of human protein naturally present in very small quantities in the body.
Genetics  Institute is  developing  rhBMP-2 for clinical  evaluation  in several
areas of bone repair and  augmentation  and, in February 2001,  filed a PMA with
the United States Food and Drug Administration  seeking approval for its rhBMP-2
on an  absorbable  collagen  sponge  matrix  for use in the  treatment  of acute
long-bone fractures requiring open surgical  management.  Spine applications are
being developed through a related  collaboration with Medtronic Sofamor Danek in
North America.

TYROSINE  POLYCARBONATES FOR ORTHOPEDIC  IMPLANTS.  We are continuing to develop
additional biomaterial technologies that enhance the rate and quality of healing
and tissue regeneration with synthetic biodegradable scaffolds that support cell
attachment   and  growth.   We  are   developing  a  new  class  of   resorbable
polycarbonates  created  through the  polymerization  of  tyrosine,  a naturally
occurring amino acid. A well-defined  and commercially  scaleable  manufacturing
process prepares these materials.  Device fabrication by traditional  techniques
such as compression  molding and extrusion is readily achieved.  We believe that
this new  biomaterial  will be  useful  in  promoting  full  bone  healing  when
implanted in damaged  sites.  This  material is currently  being  developed  for
orthopedic  and  tissue   engineering   applications  where  strength  and  bone
compatibility  are critical issues for success of healing.  We have entered into
an  agreement  to supply the  material to Bionx  Implants,  Inc.  for  specified
orthopedic  implants.  No medical  device  containing  the material has yet been
approved  for sale.  A supply  agreement  with the  Linvatec  division of CONMED
Corporation for the development of specified  orthopedic implants using tyrosine
polycarbonates was terminated in October 2000.


CARTILAGE  REPAIR  PRODUCTS.  Damaged  articular  cartilage,  which connects the
skeletal joints, is associated with the onset of progressive pain,  degeneration
and, ultimately,  long-term osteoarthritis.  Normal articular cartilage does not
effectively  heal. The conventional  procedure for treating  traumatic damage to
cartilage  involves  smoothing  damaged  portions  of the  tissue  and  removing
free-floating  material  from the  joint  using  arthroscopic  surgery  with the
objective of reducing pain and restoring  mobility.  However,  this therapy does
not stop joint surface  degeneration,  often  requires two or more surgeries and
results  in the  formation  of  fibrocartilage,  which is rough  and  non-weight
bearing over prolonged periods. Moreover, the long-term result of this procedure
often  is  permanent  reduction  of  joint  mobility  and an  increased  risk of
developing osteoarthritis.

                                       10



We are  developing a device to allow in vivo  regeneration  of the patient's own
articular cartilage. This technology will allow the patient's body to regenerate
a  smooth,   weight-bearing   surface.   Our   objective  in   developing   this
cartilage-specific  technology  is to produce a product that provides the proper
matrix system to allow the natural regeneration of the patient's cartilage, with
full restoration of function and diminished risk of osteoarthritis.

The product under  development would use our proprietary  peptide  technology to
encourage  cells to grow into the template once implanted into the patient.  Our
peptide portfolio  includes  bioactive agents designed to mimic natural proteins
to promote cell adhesion,  cell survival and other important cellular functions.
Our  product  would  employ  proprietary  designs  based on  multiple  layers of
collagen material of varying but tightly controlled  densities and pore sizes to
provide  a   scaffold   for  cell   proliferation   and   cartilage   formation.
Simultaneously  it would prevent the in-growth of unwanted cells that could lead
to scar tissue  formation.  We anticipate  that the device will be absorbed into
the body over a period of several weeks.

An agreement  with the DePuy  division of Johnson & Johnson for the  development
and marketing of a new product to regenerate  joint  cartilage was terminated in
February 2001.

OTHER SURGICAL PRODUCTS.  Other current products of Integra LifeSciences include
the  VitaCuff(R)catheter  access  infection  control device (sold to Bard Access
Systems,  Inc.,  Arrow  International,  Inc. and Tyco  International  Ltd.), the
BioPatch(R)anti-microbial  wound  dressing (sold to Ethicon,  Inc.),  and a wide
range of resorbable  collagen products for hemostasis (sold to Sulzer Dental for
use in periodontal  surgery,  and to Baxter International and other distributors
under the Helistat(R)and  Helitene(R)Absorbable  Collagen Hemostatic Agent brand
names).

Our Sundt(TM) and other carotid  endarterectomy  shunts are used to divert blood
to vital organs (such as the brain) during carotid artery surgical procedures.

Finally,  our Spembly  Medical  cryosurgery  products  allow surgeons to use low
temperatures to extract diseased tissue more easily.


STRATEGIC ALLIANCES

We use distribution alliances to market the majority of our Integra LifeSciences
products.  We have  also  entered  into  collaborative  agreements  relating  to
research and development  programs involving our technology.  These arrangements
are described below.


ETHICON.  In June 1999,  we entered  into a strategic  alliance  with Ethicon to
distribute INTEGRA (R) Dermal Regeneration Template throughout the world, except
in Japan.  Ethicon is  responsible  for marketing  and selling the product,  has
agreed to make  significant  minimum  product  purchases,  and will  provide  $2
million annual funding for research, development and certain clinical trials for
the first five years of the alliance and thereafter based on a percentage of net
sales. In addition,  Ethicon is obligated to make contingent payments to Integra
LifeSciences in the event of certain clinical  developments and to assist in the
expansion of our  manufacturing  capacity as we achieve  certain sales  targets.
Under the  agreement,  we are  obligated  to  manufacture  the  product  and are
responsible  for  continued  research and  development.  The initial term of the
agreement is ten years,  and Ethicon may at its option  extend the agreement for
an additional  ten years.  Ethicon may terminate the agreement with notice prior
to the end of the  initial  term.  Depending  upon  the  reasons  for  any  such
termination, Ethicon may be obligated to make significant payments to us.

                                       11



CENTURY  MEDICAL,  INC. In 1997,  we signed an exclusive  importation  and sales
agreement  for  INTEGRA(R)Dermal  Regeneration  Template  in Japan with  Century
Medical Inc., a subsidiary of ITOCHU Corporation.  Under this agreement, Century
Medical,  Inc.  is  conducting  a clinical  trial in Japan at its own expense to
obtain  Japanese   regulatory   approvals  for  the  sale  of   INTEGRA(R)Dermal
Regeneration Template in Japan.

OTHER ORTHOPEDICS.  In addition to the cartilage program,  Integra  LifeSciences
has several other programs oriented toward the orthopedic market. These programs
include an alliance with  Genetics  Institute  for the  development  of collagen
matrices to be used in conjunction with Genetics  Institute's  recombinant human
bone morphogenetic protein-2 ("rhBMP-2"). If approved, rhBMP-2 is expected to be
used in conjunction with our matrices to regenerate bone.  Genetics Institute is
developing  products based on rhBMP-2 for applications in orthopedics,  oral and
maxillofacial surgery and spine surgery.  Spine applications are being developed
through a related collaboration with Medtronic Sofamor Danek in North America.

In September 1998, we announced a strategic  alliance with Bionx Implants,  Inc.
("Bionx") for developing  fixation devices using Integra's  polymer  technology.
Under the agreement with Bionx, Bionx has responsibility for clinical trials and
any necessary  regulatory  filings.  Products  covered under the agreement  with
Bionx include a resorbable line of screws,  plates,  pins, wedges and nails used
for the fixation  and/or  alignment of fractures or  osteotomies in all areas of
the musculoskeletal system except in the spine and cranium.

SULZER DENTAL. Sulzer Medica Ltd.'s dental division, Sulzer Dental, has marketed
and  sold  BioMend(TM)  since  1995,   BioMend(TM)  Extend(TM)  since  1999  and
CollaCote(R), CollaPlug(R) and CollaTape(R) since 1992.


RESEARCH STRATEGY

We have either acquired or secured the proprietary  rights to several  important
technological and scientific  platforms,  including  collagen matrix technology,
peptide  technology,  biomaterials  technology,  and  expertise in fiber optics.
These   technologies   provide   support  for  our  critical   applications   in
neurosciences  and  tissue  regeneration,   and  additional   opportunities  for
generating near-term and long-term revenues from medical  applications.  We have
been able to identify and bring together critical platform technology components
from  which we work to  develop  solutions  for  both  tissue  regeneration  and
neurosciences.  These  efforts  have led to the  successful  development  of new
products, such as the DuraGen(R) product.

We spent  approximately  $7.5  million,  $8.9 million,  and $8.4 million  during
fiscal years 2000,  1999, and 1998,  respectively,  on research and  development
activities.  Research and development activities funded by government grants and
contract development  revenues amounted to $2.8 million,  $1.6 million, and $1.8
million during fiscal years 2000, 1999, and 1998, respectively.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION

As a manufacturer of medical devices, we are subject to extensive  regulation by
the  FDA  and,  in  some  jurisdictions,   by  state  and  foreign  governmental
authorities.  These regulations  govern the introduction of new medical devices,
the  observance of certain  standards  with respect to the design,  manufacture,
testing,  labeling and promotion of such  devices,  the  maintenance  of certain
records,  the ability to track  devices,  the  reporting  of  potential  product
defects,  the export of devices  and other  matters.  We believe  that we are in
substantial compliance with these governmental regulations.

From time to time,  we have recalled  certain of our products.  To date, no such
recall has had a material


                                       12



adverse  effect on the company,  but we cannot assure that a future recall would
not have such an effect.

Our medical  devices  introduced in the United States market are required by the
FDA, as a condition of marketing,  to secure a Premarket  Notification clearance
pursuant  to Section  510(k) of the  Federal  Food,  Drug and  Cosmetic  Act, an
approved  Premarket  Approval  (  "PMA")  application  or  a  supplemental  PMA.
Alternatively,  we may seek United  States  market  clearance  through a Product
Development Protocol approved by the FDA.  Establishing and completing a Product
Development  Protocol,  or obtaining a PMA or  supplemental  PMA, can take up to
several years and can involve preclinical studies and clinical testing. In order
to perform  clinical testing in the United States on an unapproved  product,  we
are also required to obtain an  Investigational  Device Exemption (IDE) from the
FDA. In addition to requiring clearance for new products,  FDA rules may require
a  filing  and FDA  approval,  usually  through  a PMA  supplement  or a  510(k)
Premarket  Notification   clearance,   prior  to  marketing  products  that  are
modifications  of existing  products or new indications  for existing  products.
While the FDA Modernization Act of 1997, when fully implemented,  is expected to
inject  more  predictability   into  the  product  review  process,   streamline
post-market  surveillance,  and promote the global  harmonization  of regulatory
procedures, the process of obtaining such clearances can be onerous and costly.

We cannot  assure  that all the  necessary  approvals,  including  approval  for
product improvements and new products,  will be granted on a timely basis, if at
all.  Delays in receipt of, or failure to receive,  such approvals  could have a
material adverse effect on the our business. Moreover, after clearance is given,
if the  product  is shown to be  hazardous  or  defective,  the FDA and  foreign
regulatory  agencies  have the power to withdraw the  clearance or require us to
change  the  device,  its  manufacturing  process  or its  labeling,  to  supply
additional proof of its safety and effectiveness or to recall,  repair,  replace
or refund  the cost of the  medical  device.  In  addition,  federal,  state and
foreign  regulations  regarding the  manufacture and sale of medical devices are
subject to future changes.  We cannot predict what impact, if any, these changes
might have on its business. However, the changes could have a material impact on
the our business.

We are also required to register with the FDA as a device manufacturer. As such,
we are subject to periodic  inspection by the FDA for compliance  with the FDA's
QSR  requirements  and other  regulations.  These  regulations  require  that we
manufacture our products and maintain our documents in a prescribed  manner with
respect to design,  manufacturing,  testing and control activities.  Further, we
are required to comply with various FDA requirements for labeling and promotion.
The Medical Device Reporting  regulations require that we provide information to
the FDA whenever there is evidence to reasonably suggest that one of our devices
may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a malfunction
were to recur,  could  cause or  contribute  to a death or  serious  injury.  In
addition,  the FDA prohibits us from promoting a medical device before marketing
clearance  has been  received or  promoting  an approved  device for  unapproved
indications.  If the FDA  believes  that a  company  is not in  compliance  with
applicable  regulations,  it  can  institute  proceedings  to  detain  or  seize
products,  issue a  warning  letter,  issue a  recall  order,  impose  operating
restrictions,  enjoin future  violations and assess civil penalties  against the
company, its officers or its employees and can recommend criminal prosecution to
the  Department  of Justice.  Such actions  could have a material  impact on our
business. Other regulatory agencies may have similar powers.

Medical  device  laws are also in effect in many of the  countries  outside  the
United  States in which we do  business.  These laws  range  from  comprehensive
device  approval  and  Quality  System  requirements  for some or all of the our
medical device products to simpler requests for product data or  certifications.
The number and scope of these  requirements  are  increasing.  In June 1998, the
European  Union  Medical  Device  Directive  became  effective,  and all medical
devices must meet the Medical  Device  Directive  standards  and receive CE mark
certification.  CE Mark  certification  involves a comprehensive  Quality System
program, and submission of data on a product to the Notified Body in Europe. The
Medical  Device  Directive,  the ISO 9000 series of  standards,  and EN46001 are
recognized  international  quality

                                       13



standards that are designed to ensure we develop and manufacture quality medical
devices.  Each of our  facilities  is audited on an annual basis by a recognized
Notified Body to verify our compliance  with these  standards.  In 2000, each of
our facilities was audited and we have  maintained  our  certification  to these
standards.

In addition, we are required to notify the FDA if we export to certain countries
medical devices manufactured in the United States that have not been approved by
the FDA for distribution in the United States.  We are also required to maintain
certain  records  relating to exports and make the records  available to the FDA
for inspection, if required.

OTHER UNITED STATES REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

In addition to the regulatory framework for product approvals, we are and may be
subject to  regulation  under  federal  and state laws,  including  requirements
regarding  occupational health and safety;  laboratory  practices;  and the use,
handling and disposal of toxic or hazardous  substances.  We may also be subject
to  other  present  and  possible  future  local,  state,  federal  and  foreign
regulations.  Our research,  development and manufacturing processes involve the
controlled use of certain hazardous materials.  We are subject to federal, state
and local laws and regulations governing the use, manufacture, storage, handling
and disposal of such materials and certain waste  products.  Although we believe
that our safety  procedures for handling and disposing of such materials  comply
with  the  standards  prescribed  by such  laws  and  regulations,  the  risk of
accidental  contamination  or injury from these  materials  cannot be completely
eliminated.  In the event of such an  accident,  we could be held liable for any
damages that result and any such liability could exceed our resources.  Although
we believe that we are in  compliance in all material  respects with  applicable
environmental  laws and regulations,  there can be no assurance that we will not
incur significant costs to comply with environmental laws and regulations in the
future,  nor that our  operations,  business  or assets  will not be  materially
adversely affected by current or future environmental laws or regulations.


PATENTS AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

We pursue a policy of seeking patent protection of our technology,  products and
product  improvements  both  in  the  United  States  and  in  selected  foreign
countries. When determined appropriate, we have enforced and plan to continue to
enforce and defend our patent rights. In general, however, we do not rely on our
patent estate to provide us with any significant competitive advantages. We rely
upon trade  secrets  and  continuing  technological  innovations  to develop and
maintain our competitive position. In an effort to protect our trade secrets, we
have a policy of requiring our  employees,  consultants  and advisors to execute
proprietary information and invention assignment agreements upon commencement of
employment or consulting  relationships  with us. These agreements  provide that
all confidential  information  developed or made known to the individual  during
the course of their  relationship with us must be kept  confidential,  except in
specified circumstances.

COMPETITION

The largest competitors of Integra NeuroSciences in the neurosurgery markets are
the PS Medical  division of Medtronic,  Inc.,  the Codman  division of Johnson &
Johnson,  the Valleylab and Radionics  divisions of Tyco International Ltd., and
NMT Neurosciences,  a division of NMT Medical, Inc. In addition,  various of the
Integra  NeuroSciences  product lines compete with smaller specialized companies
or larger companies that do not otherwise focus on neurosurgery. The products of
Integra LifeSciences face diverse and broad competition, depending on the market
addressed  by the  product.  In  addition,  certain  companies  are  known to be
competing  particularly  in the  area  of  skin  substitution  or  regeneration,
including Organogenesis and Advanced Tissue Sciences.  Finally, in certain cases
competition  consists  primarily of current  medical  practice,  rather than any
particular   product   (such  as   autograft   tissue   as  a   substitute   for
INTEGRA(R)Dermal  Regeneration  Template).  Depending  on the product  line,  we
compete  on  the  basis  of  our  products'  features,  strength  of  our  sales
organization or marketing  partner,  sophistication of our technology,  and cost
effectiveness of our solution to the customer's medical requirements.

EMPLOYEES

At December 31, 2000, we had  approximately  515 permanent  employees engaged in
production  and  production  support  (including  engineering,   and  facilities
personnel),   quality  assurance/quality   control,  research  and  development,
regulatory   and   clinical   affairs,   sales/marketing,    distribution,   and
administration  and  finance.  None of our  current  employees  are subject to a
collective bargaining agreement.

                SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We have made statements in this report, including statements under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of  Operations"  and
"Business" which  constitute  forward-looking  statements  within the meaning of
Section 27A of the  Securities  Act of 1933 and  Section  21E of the  Securities
Exchange Act of 1934. These  forward-looking  statements are subject to a number
of risks,  uncertainties and assumptions about Integra,  including,  among other
things:

     o    general economic and business  conditions,  both nationally and in our
          international markets;

     o    our   expectations   and   estimates   concerning   future   financial
          performance,   financing  plans  and  the  impact  of  competition;

     o    anticipated trends in our business;

     o    existing and future regulations affecting our business;

     o    our ability to obtain  additional  debt and equity  financing  to fund
          capital    expenditures   and   working   capital   requirements   and
          acquisitions;

     o    our  ability  to  complete   acquisitions  and  integrate   operations
          post-acquisition;  and

     o    other risk factors described in the section entitled "Risk Factors" in
          this prospectus.

You can identify these forward-looking  statements by forward-looking words such
as "believe,"  "may," "could,"  "will,"  "estimate,"  "continue,"  "anticipate,"
"intend," "seek," "plan," "expect," "should," "would" and similar expressions in
this prospectus.

We  undertake no  obligation  to publicly  update or revise any  forward-looking
statements, whether as a result of new information,  future events or otherwise.
In light of these  risks  and  uncertainties,  the  forward-looking  events  and
circumstances  discussed  in this  prospectus  may not occur and actual  results
could differ materially from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking
statements.

                                  RISK FACTORS

The Company believes that the following  important factors,  among others,  have
affected,  and in the future could  affect,  the Company's  business,  financial
condition,  and  results of  operations  and could  cause the  Company's  future
results to differ materially from its historical  results and those expressed in
any forward-looking  statements made by the Company.  Such factors are not meant
to represent an exhaustive list of the risks and  uncertainties  associated with
the  Company's  business.  These factors as well as other factors may affect the
Company's  future  results and the  Company's  stock  price,  particularly  on a
quarterly basis.

WE MAY BE  UNABLE  TO  RAISE  ADDITIONAL  FINANCING  NECESSARY  TO  CONDUCT  OUR
BUSINESS, MAKE PAYMENTS WHEN DUE OR REFINANCE OUR DEBT.

We may need to raise  additional  funds in the future in order to implement  our
business plan, to make scheduled  principal and interest payments,  to refinance
our debt, to conduct research and development,  to fund marketing programs or to
acquire  complementary  businesses,   technologies  or  services.  Any  required
additional  financing may be unavailable on terms favorable to us, or at all. If
we raise  additional  funds by issuing  equity  securities,  you may  experience
significant  dilution of your ownership  interest and these  securities may have
rights senior to those of the holders of our  preferred or common  stock.  If we
cannot obtain additional  financing when required on acceptable terms, we may be
unable to fund our expansion, develop or enhance our products and services, take
advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures.

                                       16



WHILE OUR CURRENT CAPITAL  REQUIREMENTS DO NOT INCLUDE A SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
OUR DEBT LEVELS, WERE CIRCUMSTANCES TO ARISE THAT REQUIRE US TO INCUR MORE DEBT,
WE WOULD BE LIMITED BY THE  PROVISIONS  OF OUR  CURRENT  DEBT  INSTRUMENTS  FROM
INCURRING SUCH INDEBTEDNESS.

Historically,  the cash we generate  from our operating  activities,  new equity
investments and borrowings has been sufficient to meet our requirements for debt
service, working capital,  capital expenditures,  and investments in and advance
to our affiliates, and we have depended on getting additional borrowings to meet
our  liquidity  requirements.  Although  in the past we have  been  able both to
refinance  our debt and to obtain new debt,  there can be no  guarantee  that we
will be able to  continue  to do so in the  future or that the cost to us or the
other  terms which would  affect us would be as  favorable  to us as our current
loans and credit  agreements.  We believe  that our  business  will  continue to
generate  cash and  that we will be able to  obtain  new  loans to meet our cash
needs.  However,  the  covenants in the credit  agreements  for our current debt
limit our ability to borrow more money.


WE MAY CONTINUE TO INCUR OPERATING LOSSES.

To date,  we have  experienced  significant  operating  losses  in  funding  the
research,  development,  manufacturing  and  marketing  of our  products and may
continue to incur operating  losses. At December 31, 2000, we had an accumulated
deficit of $105.7 million. Our ability to achieve  profitability depends in part
upon our ability,  either  independently  or in  collaboration  with others,  to
successfully  manufacture and market our products and services. We cannot assure
you that we can sustain profitability on an ongoing basis.

OUR OPERATING  RESULTS MAY FLUCTUATE  FROM TIME TO TIME,  WHICH COULD AFFECT THE
VALUE OF YOUR SHARES.

Our  operating  results  have  fluctuated  in the  past and can be  expected  to
fluctuate  from time to time in the future.  Some of the factors  that may cause
these fluctuations include:

     o    the impact of acquisitions;

     o    the timing of significant customer orders;

     o    market  acceptance  of our existing  products,  as well as products in
          development;

     o    the timing of regulatory approvals;

     o    the timing of payments  received and the  recognition of such payments
          as revenue under collaborative arrangements and strategic alliances;

     o    our ability to manufacture our products efficiently; and

     o    the timing of our research and development expenditures.

THE INDUSTRY AND MARKET SEGMENTS IN WHICH WE OPERATE ARE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE, AND
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO COMPETE EFFECTIVELY WITH OTHER COMPANIES.

In  general,  the  medical  technology  industry  is  characterized  by  intense
competition.   We  compete  with  established   medical  technology   companies.
Competition  also  comes  from  early  stage  companies  that  have  alternative
technological   solutions  for  our  primary  clinical   targets,   as  well  as
universities,  research institutions and other non-profit entities.  Many of our
competitors  have  access  to  greater   financial,   technical,   research  and
development,  marketing,  manufacturing,  sales, distribution services and other
resources  than  we do.  Further,  our  competitors  may be  more  effective  at
implementing their technologies to develop commercial products.

                                       17



Our competitive position will depend on our ability to achieve market acceptance
for our products,  implement  production and marketing plans,  secure regulatory
approval for products  under  development,  obtain patent  protection and secure
adequate  capital  resources.  We may need to develop new  applications  for our
products to remain competitive. Our present or future products could be rendered
obsolete or uneconomical by technological advances by one or more of our current
or future  competitors.  Our future  success  will  depend  upon our  ability to
compete effectively against current technology as well as to respond effectively
to technological advances. We can not assure you that competitive pressures will
not adversely affect our profitability.

OUR CURRENT STRATEGY INVOLVES GROWTH THROUGH ACQUISITIONS,  WHICH REQUIRES US TO
INCUR SUBSTANTIAL COSTS AND POTENTIAL LIABILITIES FOR WHICH WE MAY NEVER REALIZE
THE ANTICIPATED BENEFITS.

In addition to internal  growth,  our current  strategy  involves growth through
acquisitions. We cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to implement
our growth  strategy,  or that this strategy will  ultimately be  successful.  A
significant portion of our growth in revenues has resulted from, and is expected
to continue to result from, the acquisition of businesses  complementary  to our
own.  We engage in  evaluations  of  potential  acquisitions  and are in various
stages of discussion  regarding  possible  acquisitions.  Acquisitions by us may
result in significant transaction expenses,  increased interest and amortization
expense,  increased depreciation expense and increased operating expense, any of
which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.  As we grow
by  acquisitions,  we must be able to integrate and manage the new businesses to
realize economies of scale and control costs. In addition,  acquisitions involve
other risks, including diversion of management resources otherwise available for
ongoing  development  of our business  and risks  associated  with  entering new
markets with which our marketing and sales force has limited experience or where
experienced  distribution alliances are not available.  Our future profitability
will depend in part upon our ability to further  develop our  resources to adapt
to the  particulars  of such new products or business  areas and to identify and
enter into satisfactory  distribution  networks.  We may not be able to identify
suitable  acquisition  candidates in the future,  obtain acceptable financing or
consummate any future acquisitions.  If we cannot integrate acquired operations,
manage the cost of providing  our  products or price our products  appropriately
our profitability would suffer. In addition,  as a result of our acquisitions of
other  healthcare  businesses,  we may be subject  to the risk of  unanticipated
business uncertainties or legal liabilities relating to such acquired businesses
for which we may not be indemnified  by the sellers of the acquired  businesses.
Future acquisitions may also result in potentially  dilutive issuances of equity
securities.

TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS UNDER DEVELOPMENT WE WILL FIRST NEED TO OBTAIN REGULATORY
APPROVAL.  FURTHER,  IF WE  FAIL  TO  COMPLY  WITH  THE  EXTENSIVE  GOVERNMENTAL
REGULATIONS THAT AFFECT OUR BUSINESS, WE COULD BE SUBJECT TO PENALTIES AND COULD
BE PRECLUDED FROM MARKETING OUR PRODUCTS.

Our  research  and  development  activities  and  the  manufacturing,  labeling,
distribution  and  marketing of our existing and future  products are subject to
regulation by numerous  governmental  agencies in the United States and in other
countries. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and comparable agencies
in other countries impose mandatory  procedures and standards for the conduct of
clinical  trials and the production and marketing of products for diagnostic and
human therapeutic use. The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that our
products be  manufactured  according  to rigorous  standards.  These  regulatory
requirements may  significantly  increase our production or purchasing costs and
may even prevent us from making or obtaining our products in amounts  sufficient
to meet market demand. If we, or a third party manufacturer, change our approved
manufacturing  process,  the FDA may require a new approval  before that process
could be used.  Failure to develop our  manufacturing  capability  may mean that
even if we develop  promising new  products,  we may not be able to produce them
profitably,  as a result of delays  and  additional  capital  investment  costs.
Manufacturing  facilities,  both international and domestic, are also subject to
inspections by or under the authority of the FDA.

                                       18



Our  products  under  development  are  subject to  approval by the FDA prior to
marketing for commercial  use. The process of obtaining  necessary FDA approvals
can take years and is  expensive  and full of  uncertainties.  Our  inability to
obtain required  regulatory  approval on a timely or acceptable basis could harm
our  business.  Further,  approval  may place  substantial  restrictions  on the
indications for which the product may be marketed or to whom it may be marketed.
To gain  approval for the use of a product for clinical  indications  other than
those for which the product was initially  evaluated or for significant  changes
to the product,  further studies,  including  clinical trials and FDA approvals,
are required.  In addition,  for products with an approved  pre-market  approval
("PMA")  application,  the FDA requires  postapproval  reporting and may require
postapproval   surveillance   programs  to  monitor  the  product's  safety  and
effectiveness. Results of post approval programs may limit or expand the further
marketing of the product.

Approved products are subject to continuing FDA requirements relating to quality
control and quality  assurance,  maintenance  of records and  documentation  and
labeling and promotion of medical devices.  In addition,  failure to comply with
applicable  regulatory  requirements  could  subject us to  enforcement  action,
including  product  seizures,  recalls,  withdrawal  of clearances or approvals,
restrictions on or injunctions  against  marketing our product or products based
on our technology, and civil and criminal penalties.

Medical device laws and regulations are also in effect in many countries outside
the United States. These range from comprehensive  device approval  requirements
for some or all of our medical  device  products to requests for product data or
certifications.  The number and scope of these requirements are increasing.  The
requirements governing the conduct of clinical trials and product approvals vary
widely from country to country. Failure to comply with applicable federal, state
and foreign medical device laws and  regulations  would result in fines or other
censures or preclude  our ability to market  products.  Because more than 20% of
our product sales are derived from international  sales, any delay or withdrawal
of approval or change in international  regulations could have an adverse effect
on our revenues and profitability.

CERTAIN OF OUR PRODUCTS CONTAIN MATERIALS  DERIVED FROM ANIMAL SOURCES,  AND MAY
AS A RESULT BECOME SUBJECT TO ADDITIONAL REGULATION.

Certain of our  products,  including the  DuraGen(R)  Dural Graft Matrix and the
INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration  Template,  contain material derived from animal
tissue. Products, including food as well as pharmaceuticals and medical devices,
that contain materials  derived from animal sources are increasingly  subject to
scrutiny in the press and by regulatory authorities, who are concerned about the
potential  for the  transmission  of  disease  from  animals  to humans via such
materials.  This public scrutiny has been  particularly  acute in Western Europe
with respect to products derived from cattle,  because of concern that materials
infected with the agent that causes bovine spongiform encephalopathy,  otherwise
known as "BSE" or "mad cow  disease,"  may, if ingested  or  implanted,  cause a
variant of the human Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, an ultimately fatal disease with
no known cure.

We take great care to provide  that our  products  are safe,  and free of agents
that can cause disease.  In particular,  the collagen used in the manufacture of
our products is derived only from the Achilles  tendon of cattle from the United
States,  where no cases of BSE have been  reported.  Scientists  and  regulatory
authorities  classify  Achilles tendon as having a negligible risk of containing
the agent  that  causes  BSE (an  improperly  folded  protein  known as a prion)
compared  with other parts of the body.  Additionally,  we use  processes in the
manufacturing of our products that are believed to inactivate prions.

Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  products that contain  materials  derived from
animals, including our products, may become subject to additional regulation and
have been banned in certain  countries because


                                       19



of concern over the potential for prion transmission.  There can be no assurance
that new regulation or bans of our products would not have a significant adverse
effect on our business.

OUR DEPENDENCE ON SUPPLIERS FOR MATERIALS COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO
MANUFACTURE OUR PRODUCTS.

Outside vendors, some of whom are sole-source suppliers,  provide key components
and raw materials used in the  manufacture of our products.  Although we believe
that  alternative  sources for these components and raw materials are available,
any supply  interruption  in a limited or sole source  component or raw material
could harm our ability to manufacture  our products until a new source of supply
is identified and qualified.  In addition,  an uncorrected  defect or supplier's
variation in a component or raw material,  either unknown to us or  incompatible
with our manufacturing  process, could harm our ability to manufacture products.
We may not be able to find a  sufficient  alternative  supplier in a  reasonable
time period, or on commercially  reasonable terms, if at all, and our ability to
produce and supply our products could be impaired.

OUR BUSINESS DEPENDS SIGNIFICANTLY ON KEY RELATIONSHIPS WITH THIRD PARTIES WHICH
WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN.

Our revenue stream and our business strategy depend in part on our entering into
and  maintaining   collaborative  or  alliance  agreements  with  third  parties
concerning product marketing as well as research and development  programs.  Our
ability  to  enter  into  agreements  with  collaborators  depends  in  part  on
convincing them that our technology can help achieve and accelerate  their goals
and strategies.  This may require  substantial  time,  effort and expense on our
part with no guarantee that a strategic  relationship will result. We may not be
able to establish or maintain these  relationships  on  commercially  acceptable
terms. Our future agreements may not ultimately be successful.  Even if we enter
into  collaborative or alliance  agreements,  our collaborators  could terminate
these agreements or they could expire before meaningful developmental milestones
are reached.  The termination or expiration of any of these  relationships could
have a material adverse effect on our business.

Much of the revenue that we may receive under these  collaborations  will depend
upon our collaborators' ability to successfully  introduce,  market and sell new
products  derived  from our  products.  Our  success  depends  in part  upon the
performance  by  these  collaborators  of  their  responsibilities  under  these
agreements.

Some  collaborators may not perform their obligations as we expect.  Some of the
companies  we  currently  have  alliances  with or are  targeting  as  potential
alliances  offer  products   competitive   with  our  products  or  may  develop
competitive  production  technologies or competitive  products  outside of their
collaborations  with  us  that  could  have a  material  adverse  effect  on our
competitive  position.  In addition,  our role in the  collaborations  is mostly
limited to the production aspects.

As a result,  we may also be dependent on collaborators for other aspects of the
development,  preclinical  and clinical  testing,  regulatory  approval,  sales,
marketing  and   distribution  of  our  products.   If  our  current  or  future
collaborators  do not  effectively  market our  products  or develop  additional
products based on our technology,  our revenues from sales and royalties will be
significantly reduced.

Finally,   we  have   received  and  may  continue  to  receive   payments  from
collaborators  that may not be  immediately  recognized as revenue and therefore
may not contribute to reported profits until further conditions are satisfied.

                                       20



OUR  INTELLECTUAL   PROPERTY  RIGHTS  MAY  NOT  PROVIDE  MEANINGFUL   COMMERCIAL
PROTECTION  FOR OUR  PRODUCTS,  WHICH  COULD  ENABLE  THIRD  PARTIES  TO USE OUR
TECHNOLOGY OR VERY SIMILAR TECHNOLOGY AND COULD REDUCE OUR ABILITY TO COMPETE IN
THE MARKET.

Our  ability to compete  effectively  will  depend,  in part,  on our ability to
maintain the proprietary nature of our technologies and manufacturing processes,
which  includes  the  ability  to obtain,  protect  and  enforce  patents on our
technology and to protect our trade secrets.  You should not rely on our patents
to provide us with any significant  competitive advantage.  Others may challenge
our patents  and, as a result,  our patents  could be narrowed,  invalidated  or
rendered  unenforceable.  Competitors may develop products similar to ours which
are not covered by our  patents.  In  addition,  our  current and future  patent
applications  may not result in the issuance of patents in the United  States or
foreign  countries.   Further,   there  is  a  substantial   backlog  of  patent
applications  at the U.S.  Patent and  Trademark  Office,  and the  approval  or
rejection of patent applications may take several years.

OUR  COMPETITIVE  POSITION IS DEPENDENT IN PART UPON  UNPATENTED  TRADE SECRETS,
WHICH WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO PROTECT.

Our competitive position is also dependent upon unpatented trade secrets.  Trade
secrets  are  difficult  to protect.  We cannot  assure you that others will not
independently  develop  substantially  equivalent  proprietary  information  and
techniques  or  otherwise  gain  access to our trade  secrets,  that such  trade
secrets will not be disclosed,  or that we can effectively protect our rights to
unpatented trade secrets.  In an effort to protect our trade secrets,  we have a
policy  of  requiring  our  employees,   consultants  and  advisors  to  execute
proprietary information and invention assignment agreements upon commencement of
employment or consulting  relationships  with us. These agreements  provide that
all confidential  information  developed or made known to the individual  during
the course of their  relationship with us must be kept  confidential,  except in
specified  circumstances.  We cannot assure you, however,  that these agreements
will provide  meaningful  protection for our trade secrets or other  proprietary
information in the event of the  unauthorized  use or disclosure of confidential
information.

OUR SUCCESS WILL DEPEND PARTLY ON OUR ABILITY TO OPERATE  WITHOUT  INFRINGING OR
MISAPPROPRIATING THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS OF OTHERS.

We may be sued for infringing the  intellectual  property  rights of others.  In
addition, we may find it necessary, if threatened, to initiate a lawsuit seeking
a  declaration  from a court that we do not infringe the  proprietary  rights of
others or that these rights are invalid or  unenforceable.  If we do not prevail
in any litigation,  in addition to any damages we might have to pay, we would be
required  to stop the  infringing  activity  or obtain a license.  Any  required
license may not be available to us on acceptable  terms, or at all. In addition,
some licenses may be  nonexclusive,  and,  therefore,  our  competitors may have
access to the same  technology  licensed  to us. If we fail to obtain a required
license or are unable to design  around a patent,  we may be unable to sell some
of our products,  which could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and
profitability.

WE MAY BE INVOLVED IN LAWSUITS TO PROTECT OR ENFORCE OUR  INTELLECTUAL  PROPERTY
RIGHTS, WHICH MAY BE EXPENSIVE.

In order to protect or enforce our intellectual  property rights, we may have to
initiate legal proceedings against third parties,  such as infringement suits or
interference proceedings.  Intellectual property litigation is costly, and, even
if we prevail,  the cost of such litigation could affect our  profitability.  In
addition, litigation is time consuming and could divert management attention and
resources  away from our  business.  We may also provoke  these third parties to
assert claims against us.

                                       21



WE ARE  EXPOSED TO A VARIETY OF RISKS  RELATING TO OUR  INTERNATIONAL  SALES AND
OPERATIONS,  INCLUDING FLUCTUATIONS IN EXCHANGE RATES, COMMERCIAL UNAVAILABILITY
OF, AND/OR  GOVERNMENTAL  RESTRICTIONS ON ACCESS TO, FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND DELAYS
IN COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE.

We generate  significant sales outside the United States, a substantial  portion
of which are conducted with customers who generate  revenue in currencies  other
than the U.S. dollar. As a result, currency fluctuations between the U.S. dollar
and the currencies in which such customers do business may have an impact on the
demand for our products in foreign countries where the U.S. dollar has increased
compared to the local  currency.  We cannot predict the effects of exchange rate
fluctuations  upon  our  future  operating  results  because  of the  number  of
currencies  involved,  the  variability  of currency  exposure and the potential
volatility  of currency  exchange  rates.  Because we have  operations  based in
Andover,  England and we generate certain  revenues and incur certain  operating
expenses in British pounds  sterling and the Euro, we will  experience  currency
exchange risk with respect to such British pounds sterling and Euro  denominated
revenues or expenses.

CHANGES IN THE HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY MAY REQUIRE US TO DECREASE THE SELLING PRICE
FOR OUR  PRODUCTS OR COULD  RESULT IN A REDUCTION  IN THE SIZE OF THE MARKET FOR
OUR PRODUCTS, AND LIMIT THE MEANS BY WHICH WE MAY DISCOUNT OUR PRODUCTS, EACH OF
WHICH COULD HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE.

Trends toward managed care, health care cost  containment,  and other changes in
government  and  private  sector  initiatives  in the  United  States  and other
countries in which we do business are placing increased emphasis on the delivery
of more  cost-effective  medical  therapies that could adversely affect the sale
and/or the prices of our products. For example:

     o    major third-party  payors of hospital  services,  including  Medicare,
          Medicaid and private health care insurers,  have substantially revised
          their payment methodologies,  which has resulted in stricter standards
          for reimbursement of hospital charges for certain medical procedures;

     o    Medicare,  Medicaid  and private  health care insurer  cutbacks  could
          create downward price pressure;

     o    numerous legislative  proposals have been considered that would result
          in major  reforms in the U.S.  health  care  system that could have an
          adverse effect on our business;

     o    there  has been a  consolidation  among  health  care  facilities  and
          purchasers of medical devices in the United States who prefer to limit
          the number of suppliers from whom they purchase medical products,  and
          these  entities may decide to stop  purchasing  our products or demand
          discounts on our prices;

     o    there  is  economic   pressure   to  contain   health  care  costs  in
          international markets;

     o    there are proposed and existing laws and  regulations  in domestic and
          international   markets   regulating   pricing  and  profitability  of
          companies in the health care industry; and

     o    there have been  initiatives  by third party payors to  challenge  the
          prices charged for medical  products which could affect our ability to
          sell products on a competitive basis.

Both the pressure to reduce  prices for our products in response to these trends
and the  decrease  in the size of the market as a result of these  trends  could
adversely affect our levels of revenues and profitability of sales.

In addition,  there are laws and  regulations  that  regulate the means by which
companies in the health care industry may compete by  discounting  the prices of
their products.  Although we exercise care in structuring our customer  discount
arrangements  to comply  with such laws and  regulations,  we cannot  assure you
that:

                                       22



     o    government  officials charged with  responsibility  for enforcing such
          laws will not assert that such customer  discount  arrangements are in
          violation of such laws or regulations, or

     o    government   regulators  or  courts  will   interpret   such  laws  or
          regulations in a manner consistent with our interpretation.

IF ANY OF OUR  MANUFACTURING  FACILITIES  WERE DAMAGED AND/OR OUR  MANUFACTURING
PROCESSES INTERRUPTED,  WE COULD EXPERIENCE LOST REVENUES AND OUR BUSINESS COULD
BE SERIOUSLY HARMED.

We manufacture  our products in a limited  number of  facilities.  Damage to our
manufacturing, development or research facilities due to fire, natural disaster,
power loss,  communications  failure,  unauthorized  entry or other events could
cause us to cease development and manufacturing of some or all of our products.

WE MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT PRODUCT LIABILITY EXPOSURE AND OUR INSURANCE MAY NOT
COVER ALL POTENTIAL CLAIMS.

We face an inherent  business  risk of exposure to product  liability  and other
claims in the event that our technologies or products are alleged to have caused
harm.  We may not be able to obtain  insurance for such  potential  liability on
acceptable terms with adequate  coverage,  or at reasonable costs. Any potential
product  liability  claims could exceed the amount of our insurance  coverage or
may be excluded from coverage under the terms of the policy. Our insurance, once
obtained,  may not be renewed at a cost and level of coverage comparable to that
then in effect.

WE ARE SUBJECT TO OTHER REGULATORY  REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH
AND  SAFETY AND THE USE OF  HAZARDOUS  SUBSTANCES  WHICH MAY IMPOSE  SIGNIFICANT
COMPLIANCE COSTS ON US.

We are subject to regulation under federal and state laws regarding occupational
health and safety,  laboratory practices,  and the use, handling and disposal of
toxic or hazardous  substances.  Our  research,  development  and  manufacturing
processes involve the controlled use of certain hazardous materials. Although we
believe that our safety  procedures for handling and disposing of such materials
comply with the standards  prescribed by such laws and regulations,  the risk of
accidental  contamination  or injury from these  materials  cannot be completely
eliminated.  In the event of such an  accident,  we could be held liable for any
damages  that  result  and any such  liability  could  exceed the limits or fall
outside the coverage of our insurance and could exceed our resources. We may not
be able to  maintain  insurance  on  acceptable  terms,  or at all. We may incur
significant  costs to comply  with  environmental  laws and  regulations  in the
future.  We may also be subject to other  present  and  possible  future  local,
state, federal and foreign regulations.

THE LOSS OF KEY PERSONNEL COULD HARM OUR BUSINESS.

We  believe  our  success  depends on the  contributions  of a number of our key
personnel, including Stuart M. Essig, our President and Chief Executive Officer.
If we lose the services of key personnel,  that loss could  materially  harm our
business.  We maintain "key person" life  insurance on Mr.  Essig.  In addition,
recruiting  and retaining  qualified  personnel will be critical to our success.
There is a shortage  in the  industry of  qualified  management  and  scientific
personnel,  and competition for these individuals is intense.  We can not assure
you that we will be able to attract  additional  personnel  and retain  existing
personnel.

OUR STOCK PRICE MAY CONTINUE TO BE HIGHLY VOLATILE AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO
RESELL YOUR SHARES AT OR ABOVE THE PRICE YOU PAID FOR THEM.

The stock market in general,  and the stock prices of medical device  companies,
biotechnology companies and other technology-based companies in particular, have
experienced  significant  volatility  that  often  has  been  unrelated  to  the
operating  performance  of  and  beyond  the  control  of  any  specific  public
companies.  The market  price of our common stock has  fluctuated  widely in the
past and is likely to continue to  fluctuate  in the future.  See Item 5 "Market
for Registrant's  Common Equity and Related  Stockholder  Matters." Factors that
may have a significant impact on the market price of our common stock include:

          o    shortfall  in our  revenues  or  earnings  relative to the levels
               expected by securities analysts;

          o    future announcements concerning us or our competitors,  including
               the announcement of acquisitions;

          o    sales of significantamounts of our common stock by  institutional
               holders, employees or other insiders;

          o    changes in the  prospects of our business  partners or suppliers,
               or in the ability of our  suppliers to provide us with  essential
               components;

          o    developments regarding our patents or other proprietary rights or
               those of our competitors;

          o    quality deficiencies in our products;

          o    competitive developments,  including technological innovations by
               us or our competitors;

          o    government regulation, including the FDA's review of our products
               and developments;

          o    changes in recommendations of securities analysts and rumors that
               may be circulated about us or our competitors;

          o    public perception of risks associated with our operations;

          o    conditions  or trends in the  medical  device  and  biotechnology
               industries; and

          o    additions or departures of key personnel.

Any of these factors could  immediately,  significantly and adversely affect the
trading price of our common stock.

WE DO NOT INTEND TO PAY DIVIDENDS IN THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

We do not  anticipate  paying  any cash  dividends  on our  common  stock in the
foreseeable  future.  We intend to retain  future  earnings  to fund our growth.
Accordingly,  you will not  receive a return on your  investment  in our  common
stock  through the payment of  dividends in the  foreseeable  future and may not
realize a return on your investment  even if you sell your shares.  As a result,
you may not be able to  resell  your  shares  at or above the price you paid for
them.

                                       24



ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our principal executive offices are located in Plainsboro, New Jersey. Principal
manufacturing and research facilities are located in Plainsboro, New Jersey, San
Diego,  California,  Anasco,  Puerto Rico and  Andover,  England,  and we have a
National  Distribution Center ("NDC") in Cranbury,  New Jersey. In addition,  we
lease several smaller facilities to support additional administrative, assembly,
and storage  operations.  Our total  office,  manufacturing  and research  space
approximates  180,000  square  feet.  Our  Integra  LifeSciences   products  are
manufactured in Plainsboro,  Anasco and Andover and distributed  through the NDC
and the Andover facility.  Our Integra  NeuroSciences  products are manufactured
primarily in the Plainsboro,  San Diego,  Andover and Anasco  facilities and are
distributed through the NDC and the Andover facility.  All of our facilities are
leased.

All of our  manufacturing  and  distribution  facilities are registered with the
FDA. Our  facilities  are subject to inspection by the FDA to assure  compliance
with QSR  requirements.  We believe  that our  manufacturing  facilities  are in
substantial  compliance with QSR,  suitable for their intended purposes and have
capacities adequate for current and projected needs for existing products.  Some
capacity of the plants is being converted, with any needed modification, to meet
the current and projected requirements of existing and future products.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In July  1996,  we filed a patent  infringement  lawsuit  in the  United  States
District  Court for the Southern  District of  California  against Merck KGaA, a
German  corporation,   Scripps  Research  Institute,   a  California   nonprofit
corporation,  and David A. Cheresh,  Ph.D.,  a research  scientist with Scripps,
seeking  damages and  injunctive  relief.  The  complaint  charged,  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  certain of our patents.  These
patents  are part of a group of patents  granted to The  Burnham  Institute  and
licensed  by us 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  filed a countersuit  asking for an award of  defendants'  reasonable
attorney fees.  This case went to trial in February 2000, and on March 17, 2000,
a jury returned a unanimous verdict for us finding that Merck KGaA had infringed
and induced the infringement of our patents, and awarded $15,000,000 in damages.
On  September  29,  2000,  the United  States  District  Court for the  Southern
District of California  entered  judgment in our favor and against Merck KGaA in
the case.  In entering  the  judgment,  the court also  granted us  pre-judgment
interest of approximately $1,350,000, bringing the total amount to approximately
$16,350,000,   plus  post-judgment  interest.  Various  post-trial  motions  are
pending,  including  requests  by Merck KGaA for a new trial or a judgment  as a
matter of law  notwithstanding  the  verdict,  which  could  have the  effect of
reducing the judgment or reversing the verdict of the jury.  In addition,  if we
win these post-trial  motions,  we expect Merck KGaA to appeal various decisions
of the Court.  No amounts for this favorable  verdict have been reflected in our
financial statements.

We are also subject to other  claims and lawsuits in the ordinary  course of our
business,  including claims by employees or former employees and with respect to
our  products.  In the  opinion  of  management,  such  other  claims are either
adequately covered by insurance or otherwise indemnified,  and are not expected,
individually or in the aggregate,  to result in a material adverse effect on our
financial  condition.  Our  financial  statements  do not reflect  any  material
amounts related to possible unfavorable outcomes of the matters above or others.
However,  it is possible that our results of operations,  financial position and
cash  flows  in a  particular  period  could  be  materially  affected  by these
contingencies.

non-affiliates except for the shares held by directors and executive officers of
the Company and stockholders owning 10% or more of outstanding shares.  However,
this should not be deemed to constitute an admission  that all such persons are,

(1)  As the result of the  acquisitions  of Rystan Company,  Inc.  ("Rystan") in
     September  1998, the NeuroCare  Group of companies  ("NeuroCare")  in March
     1999 and the  acquisition  of Clinical Neuro Systems and product lines from
     NMT Medical,  Inc. in 2000, the consolidated  financial results and balance
     sheet data for certain of the periods  presented  above may not be directly
     comparable.

(2)  General  and  administrative  expense  in 2000  included  a  $13.5  million
     stock-based  compensation  charge in  connection  with the extension of the
     employment of the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer.  General
     and  administrative  expense in 1997  included the  following  two non-cash
     charges:  (a) $1.0 million related to an asset impairment  charge;  and (b)
     $5.9  million  related to a  stock-based  signing  bonus for the  Company's
     President and Chief Executive Officer.

(3)  The 1999 income tax  benefit  includes a non-cash  benefit of $1.8  million
     resulting from the reduction of the deferred tax liability  recorded in the
     NeuroCare  acquisition to the extent that consolidated  deferred tax assets
     were generated subsequent to the acquisition.  The 2000 and 1999 income tax
     expense (benefit) includes $0.5 million and $0.6 million,  respectively, of
     benefits associated with the sale of New Jersey state net operating losses.

(4)  As the result of the  adoption  of SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin  No. 101
     REVENUE RECOGNITION ("SAB 101"), the Company recorded a $470,000 cumulative
     effect  of an  accounting  change to defer a  portion  of a  nonrefundable,
     up-front fee received and recorded in other revenue in 1998. The cumulative
     effect of this  accounting  change was measured as of January 1, 2000. As a
     result of this accounting  change,  other revenue in 2000 includes $112,000
     of amortization of the amount deferred as of January 1, 2000.

(5)  Pro forma data  reflects the amounts  that would have been  reported if SAB
     101 had been retroactively applied.


ITEM 7. 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

Integra  develops,  manufactures  and  markets  medical  devices,  implants  and
biomaterials.  Our operations consist of (1) Integra  NeuroSciences,  which is a
leading  provider of  implants,  devices,  and  monitors  used in  neurosurgery,
neurotrauma,  and  related  critical  care and (2) Integra  LifeSciences,  which
develops and manufactures a variety of medical  products and devices,  including
products based on our proprietary tissue regeneration  technology which are used
to treat soft tissue and  orthopedic  conditions.  Integra  NeuroSciences  sells
primarily  through a direct sales  organization and Integra  LifeSciences  sells
primarily through strategic alliances and distributors.

In 1999, we initiated a  repositioning  of our business to focus  selectively on
attractive niche markets.  Implementation of this strategy included the purchase
of the  NeuroCare  Group  of  companies  ("NeuroCare")  in  March  1999  and the
execution  of an  agreement  (the  "Ethicon  Agreement")  with Johnson & Johnson
Medical  (now merged into  Ethicon,  Inc.  ("Ethicon")).  The Ethicon  Agreement
provides Ethicon with exclusive  marketing and distribution rights to INTEGRA(R)
Dermal Regeneration

                                       30



Template  worldwide,  excluding  Japan.  As a result of these  transactions,  we
formed our Integra  NeuroSciences  segment and  reorganized the remainder of our
products into our Integra  LifeSciences  segment.  The Ethicon Agreement allowed
the  Integra   LifeSciences   segment  to  focus  on   strategic   collaborative
initiatives.  The Integra LifeSciences segment now operates providing innovative
products and development  activities through strategic  alliances with marketing
partners  and  distributors.  As a  result  of  these  activities,  our  segment
financial  results for each of the years 2000, 1999 and 1998 may not be directly
comparable.

To date, we have  experienced  significant  operating losses and may continue to
incur such  losses.  As of December  31, 2000 we had an  accumulated  deficit of
$105.7 million.


The 2000 and 1999 consolidated  financial  statements  contained in this Amended
Annual  Report  on Form  10-K/A  have  been  restated  solely as a result of the
reclassification  of the Company's  Series B and Series C Convertible  Preferred
Stock  (collectively,  the "Series B and Series C  Preferred")  from  redeemable
preferred stock to stockholders'  equity.  The effects of these restatements are
to increase  stockholders' equity by $15.9 million and $10.3 million at December
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively, to the following amounts (in thousands):

                                                   December 31,
                                                2000          1999
                                                ----          ----
Before restatement........................    $37,863       $27,659
After restatement.........................     53,781        37,989

The  carrying  amount of the  Series B and  Series C  Preferred  was  originally
reported  in  stockholders'  equity  in the  consolidated  financial  statements
included in the  quarterly  reports on Form 10-Q for each of the quarters in the
period March 31, 1999  through  September  30, 2000 and in the Annual  Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,  1999.  However,  because of certain
redemption features of the Series B and Series C Preferred,  the carrying amount
was  reclassified  from  stockholders'  equity to redeemable  preferred stock at
December 31, 2000 in the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K.  After further
consideration,  the Company has determined  that the redemption  features of the
Series B and  Series C  Preferred  are within the  control  of the  Company  and
therefore,  the carrying  amount  should be reflected in  stockholders'  equity,
consistent with its original classification.  Accordingly, the Quarterly Reports
on Form 10-Q for the period March 31, 1999 through  September  30, 2000 will not
be amended.

These  restatements  had no  effect  on the  Company's  net loss or net loss per
share,  total assets or total  liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2000
or 1999.

This report should be read in conjunction with our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
filed with the Securities  and Exchange  Commission for the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2001, which is incorporated by reference herein.

For additional information, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Recent Acquisitions

On April 6, 2000, we purchased the Selector(R) Ultrasonic Aspirator, Ruggles(TM)
hand-held  neurosurgical  instruments  and Spembly Medical  cryosurgery  product
lines, including certain assets and liabilities,  from NMT Medical, Inc. ("NMT")
for $11.6 million in cash.  The assets  acquired  included a  manufacturing  and
distribution facility in Andover, England.

On January 17, 2000,  we purchased the business,  including  certain  assets and
liabilities,  of Clinical  Neuro  Systems,  Inc.  ("CNS") for $6.8 million.  CNS
designs,  manufactures and sells  neurosurgical  external  ventricular  drainage
systems,  including catheters and drainage bags, as well as cranial access kits.
The purchase  price of the CNS business  consisted of $4.0 million in cash and a
5% $2.8 million promissory note issued to the seller. The promissory note, which
is  payable  in two  principal  payments  of $1.4  million  each,  plus  accrued
interest, in January 2001 and 2002, is collateralized by inventory, property and
equipment of the CNS business and by a collateral  assignment  of a $2.8 million
promissory note from one of the Company's subsidiaries.

On March 29, 1999 we  acquired  certain  assets and stock held by  Heyer-Schulte
NeuroCare,  L.P. and its  subsidiaries,  Heyer-Schulte  NeuroCare,  Inc., Camino
NeuroCare,  Inc.  and Neuro  Navigational,  LLC  (collectively,  the  "NeuroCare
Group") through our wholly-owned  subsidiaries,  NeuroCare Holding  Corporation,
Integra  NeuroCare  LLC  and  Redmond  NeuroCare  LLC  (collectively,   "Integra
NeuroCare").  The  purchase  price for the  NeuroCare  Group  consisted of $14.2
million in cash and  approximately $11 million of assumed  indebtedness  under a
term loan from Fleet Capital Corporation. The NeuroCare Group's assets include a
manufacturing,  packaging and distribution facility in San Diego, California and
a  manufacturing  facility  in  Anasco,  Puerto  Rico,  as well  as a  corporate
headquarters  in  Pleasant  Prairie,  Wisconsin,  which we  closed  in the third
quarter of 1999.

On September 28, 1998, we acquired Rystan Company,  Inc.  ("Rystan") for 800,000
shares of common stock of the Company and two warrants  each having the right to
purchase 150,000 shares of our common

                                       31



stock. The total purchase price was valued at $4.0 million.  In January 1999, we
subsequently  sold a Rystan  product line,  including the brand name and related
production equipment,  for $6.4 million in cash and 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.

These  acquisitions  have  been  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method of
accounting,  and the results of operations of the acquired  businesses have been
included in the consolidated  financial  statements since their respective dates
of  acquisition.  As adjusted for the sale of one of the Rystan product lines in
1999,  the allocation of the purchase  price of these  acquisitions  resulted in
acquired  intangible  assets,  consisting  primarily  of  completed  technology,
customer lists and trademarks of  approximately  $19.8 million,  which are being
amortized on a  straight-line  basis over lives ranging from 2 to 15 years,  and
residual goodwill of approximately  $9.1 million,  which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years.

2000 COMPARED TO 1999

Total product sales  increased  $24.9  million,  or 62%, in 2000,  with sales of
product lines acquired in 2000  accounting  for $11.2  million,  or 28%, of this
increase.  Sales  growth  for  the  year  was led by the  Integra  NeuroSciences
division,  which reported an increase of $22.4 million,  or 100%, from the prior
year.  Included  in this  increase  was $9.6  million of sales of product  lines
acquired in 2000. The remainder of this increase is the result of a $5.5 million
increase in sales of the  DuraGen(R)  product,  which was  launched in the third
quarter of 1999,  and  organic  growth in  products  acquired  in the  NeuroCare
acquisition  at the end of the first quarter of 1999.  Adjusted  gross margin on
Integra  NeuroSciences'  product sales  increased 7 percentage  points to 58% in
2000 through an improved  sales mix of higher  margin  products,  including  the
DuraGen(R) product and product lines acquired in 2000. The adjusted gross margin
excludes  fair value  inventory  purchase  accounting  adjustments  recorded  in
connection with the acquisitions.

                                       32



In 2001,  product  sales in the Integra  NeuroSciences  division are expected to
benefit  from a full year of sales of  products  acquired in 2000 and the recent
launch of the LICOX(R)  Brain Tissue Oxygen  Monitoring  System and the TrueTech
Tunneling Catheter for intra-cranial pressure monitoring.

Sales in the Integra  LifeSciences  division increased $2.5 million,  or 14%, in
2000,  with sales of a distributed  product line acquired in 2000 accounting for
$1.6 million of this increase.  The remainder of this increase relates primarily
to higher sales of private label  products,  with increased  sales of orthopedic
biomaterials  to our strategic  partners for use in their clinical  trials being
slightly offset by lower sales of INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template. Sales
of  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  decreased  because  of the lower
transfer price to Ethicon  beginning in the second half of 1999.  Adjusted gross
margin on Integra LifeSciences' product sales increased from 48% to 49% in 2000.
The  improvement  in gross margins was primarily  related to increased  capacity
utilization and increased sales of higher margin products in 2000, both of which
were  offset  by the  lower  gross  margins  on sales of the  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal
Regeneration  Template  through Ethicon and sales of a lower margin  distributed
product line acquired in 2000.

Other revenue,  which increased $3.9 million to $6.7 million in 2000,  consisted
of $2.8 million of research and development  funding from strategic partners and
government   grants,   $2.3   million  of  license,   distribution,   and  other
event-related revenues from strategic partners and other third parties, and $1.6
million of royalty income.

Research and development expenses were as follows (in thousands):

Research and development expense in the Integra  NeuroSciences segment increased
in 2000  primarily  because  there was a full year of research  and  development
activities from the acquired  NeuroCare  business in 2000.  Significant  ongoing
research and development programs in the Company's Integra NeuroSciences segment
include the  development of the next  generation of  intra-cranial  monitors and
catheters  and  shunting  products  and  the  continuation  of  clinical  trials
involving the peripheral nerve guide, a bioabsorbable  collagen conduit designed
to support guided regeneration of severed nerve tissues.

Research and  development  activities  within the Integra  LifeSciences  segment
decreased  in 2000  primarily  because of the  elimination  of several  non-core
research programs throughout 1999,  reductions in headcount in the Company's New
Jersey-based  research  group and reduced  spending in the  articular  cartilage
program.  Offsetting these decreases were additional research activities related
to the  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  program  that were funded by
Ethicon and government  grants.  The Ethicon Agreement provides the Company with
research  funding of $2.0  million per year  through the year 2004.  Significant
ongoing research and development  programs in the Integra  LifeSciences  segment
include  clinical  and  development  activities  related  to  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal
Regeneration  Template,  additional  applications  for the Company's  orthopedic
technologies,  and other activities  involving the Company's tissue regeneration
technologies.

The  future  allocation  and timing of  research  and  development  expenditures
between segments and programs will vary depending on various factors,  including
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 expenses were as follows (in thousands):

                                                    2000        1999

   Total                                           $15,371     $9,487

Integra  NeuroSciences  selling and marketing  expense  increased  significantly
because of a large  increase  in the  direct  sales  force to over 50  personnel
throughout  2000,  increased sales from acquired  products and organic growth in
existing products, and increased tradeshow  participation.  Through acquisitions
and recruiting of experienced personnel,  the Integra NeuroSciences division has
developed a leading sales and marketing infrastructure to market its products to
neurosurgeons  and  critical  care  units,  which  comprise  a focused  group of
hospital-based  practitioners.  A  further  increase  in  Integra  NeuroSciences
selling  and  marketing  expense  is  expected  in  2001,  as  continuing  costs
associated  with the larger  direct  sales force and the  national  distribution
center opened in the second quarter of 2000 impact the full year 2001 results.

The decrease in Integra LifeSciences selling and marketing expenses is primarily
the result of the transition of INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration  Template selling
and  marketing  activities to Ethicon in June 1999,  offset by costs  associated
with the opening of our new national distribution center in New Jersey.

General and administrative expenses were as follows (in thousands):

                                                    2000        1999

   Total                                           $28,483     $13,324

Integra  NeuroSciences  general and  administrative  expenses  increased in 2000
primarily   because  of  acquisitions  and  an  allowance   recorded  against  a
distributor's accounts receivable balance.  Offsetting these increases were $1.0
million of severance  costs  incurred in 1999 in connection  with the closure of
NeuroCare's  corporate  headquarters  in July 1999.  General and  administrative
expense in the Integra  LifeSciences  segment increased in 2000 primarily due to
additional  headcount and  acquisitions.  The increase in corporate  general and
administrative   in  2000  was  almost  entirely  related  to  a  $13.5  million
stock-based compensation charge recorded in connection with the extension of the
employment  agreement of Integra's  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer.  A
decrease in legal fees  associated  with the conclusion of the jury trial in the
patent infringement  lawsuit against Merck KGaA in the first quarter of 2000 was
offset by increased corporate headcount.

Net interest expense  consisted of interest expense of $1.3 million and interest
income of $0.8 million in 2000. In 1999, net interest  income  consisted of $1.0
million of  interest  income  and $0.7  million of  interest  expense.  Interest
expense  increased in 2000 consistent with higher average bank loans outstanding
during 2000 and  interest  associated  with the note issued to the seller of the
CNS business.  Interest  income  decreased in 2000 consistent with lower average
cash and marketable securities balances during 2000.

The Company  recorded a $1.1  million  pre-tax  gain on the  disposition  of two
product lines in 2000 and a $4.1 million  pre-tax gain on the  disposition  of a
product line in 1999.

                                       34



The income tax  provision  of $0.1  million  recorded  in 2000  consists of $0.6
million of income tax expense,  which was offset by a $0.5 million  benefit from
the sale of New  Jersey  state  net  operating  losses  ("NOL's")  under a state
sponsored  program.  The income tax  benefit of $1.8  million  recorded  in 1999
consists of a $1.8 million non-cash benefit  resulting from the reduction of the
deferred tax liability recorded in the NeuroCare  acquisition to the extent that
consolidated deferred tax assets were generated subsequent to the acquisition. A
tax benefit of $0.6  million  associated  with the sale of New Jersey  state net
operating losses was offset by $0.6 million of income tax expense.

The reported net loss for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $11.4 million, or
$0.97 per  share.  The  reported  net loss per share  includes  $1.5  million of
preferred  stock  dividends  and a $4.2 million  beneficial  conversion  feature
associated  with the  issuance of  convertible  preferred  stock and warrants in
March  2000,  which is treated as a non-cash  dividend  in  computing  per share
earnings.  The  beneficial  conversion  dividend is based upon the excess of the
price of the underlying  common stock as compared to the fixed  conversion price
of the convertible preferred stock, after taking into account the value assigned
to the common stock warrants. Included in the reported net loss of $11.4 million
was a $1.1  million  gain on the  sale  of  product  lines,  the  $13.5  million
stock-based  compensation  charge,  a  $0.5  million  cumulative  effect  of  an
accounting change and $0.4 million of fair value inventory  purchase  accounting
adjustments.  Excluding these items,  the Company would have reported net income
of  $1.8  million.  Excluding  these  items  and  the  $4.2  million  beneficial
conversion  feature  recorded on the convertible  preferred  stock,  the Company
would have  reported  net income of $0.02 per share for the year ended  December
31, 2000.

The reported net loss for the year ended December 31, 1999 was $6.0 million,  or
$0.40 per  share.  The  reported  net loss per share  includes  $0.8  million of
preferred stock dividends. Included in the reported net loss of $6.0 million was
a $3.7  million  gain  (net of tax) on the  sale of a  product  line  and a $1.8
million tax benefit related to the NeuroCare  acquisition,  $2.5 million of fair
value inventory  purchase  accounting  adjustments and $1.0 million of severance
costs  associated with the NeuroCare  acquisition.  Excluding  these items,  the
Company would have reported a net loss of $8.0 million, or $0.52 per share.

Excluding  the  above  items,   adjusted   Earnings  before   Interest,   Taxes,
Depreciation and  Amortization  ("EBITDA") would have been $7.8 million in 2000,
as compared to a negative  $5.6 million in 1999.  EBITDA is calculated by adding
back interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to net income or loss.

1999 COMPARED TO 1998

Total product sales  increased  $25.9 million,  or 182%, in 1999,  with sales of
product lines acquired in 1999  accounting  for $24.5 million,  or 172%, of this
increase.  Sales  growth  for  the  year  was led by the  Integra  NeuroSciences
division,  which  reported $21.9 million of sales from product lines acquired in
the NeuroCare  acquisition and $0.5 million of sales of the DuraGen(R)  product,
which was launched in the third quarter of 1999.  Excluding fair value inventory
purchase  accounting  adjustments  recorded  in  connection  with the  NeuroCare
acquisition,  gross  margins on Integra  NeuroSciences  product sales would have
been 51% in 1999.

Sales in the Integra  LifeSciences  division increased $3.5 million,  or 24%, in
1999.  An increase  of $3.9  million  from sales of  distributed  product  lines
acquired in 1998 and 1999 was offset by a decrease  of $2.1  million of sales of
INTEGRA(R) Dermal  Regeneration  Template through Ethicon in 1999. The remainder
of the  increase in 1999  relates to organic  sales  growth in existing  product
lines.  Excluding fair value inventory purchase  accounting  adjustments,  which
reduced  reported  1998 gross  margins by 2 percentage  points,  adjusted  gross
margins on Integra  LifeSciences  product sales decreased 1 percentage  point to
48% in 1999.  The decline in adjusted  gross  margins in 1999 was related to the
lower gross  margins on sales of the  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template
through Ethicon.

Other revenue,  which decreased $0.6 million to $2.8 million in 1999,  consisted
of $1.3 million of research and development  funding from strategic partners and
government grants, $0.9 million of license, distribution and other event-related
revenues from strategic  partners and other third  parties,  and $0.6 million of
royalty  income.  In 1998,  other revenue  consisted of $1.5 million of license,
distribution and other event-related  revenues from strategic partners and other
third parties,  $1.6 million of research and development  funding from strategic
partners and government grants, and $0.3 million of royalty income.

Research and development expense in the Integra  NeuroSciences segment increased
in 1999 primarily because of the NeuroCare  acquisition.  Integra  NeuroSciences
research and development  activities in 1998 consisted of programs involving the
DuraGen(R)  product and the  peripheral  nerve guide.  Research and  development
activities within the Integra  LifeSciences  segment decreased in 1999 primarily
because of the  elimination of several  non-core  research  programs  throughout
1999.

Integra  NeuroSciences selling and marketing expense increased in 1999 primarily
because  of  the  NeuroCare  acquisition.  Additional  increases  resulted  from
expenses  related to the domestic  and  international  launch of the  DuraGen(R)
product  in the third  quarter of 1999.  The  decrease  in Integra  LifeSciences
selling and  marketing  expenses is primarily  the result of the  transition  of
INTEGRA(R)  Dermal  Regeneration  Template  selling and marketing  activities to
Ethicon,  offset by a slight  increase in sales and  marketing  costs related to
acquired product lines.

Integra  NeuroSciences  general and  administrative  expense  increased  in 1999
primarily because of the NeuroCare acquisition.  Included in this amount is $1.0
million of severance costs associated with the closure of NeuroCare's  corporate
headquarters  in July 1999.  General and  administrative  expense in the Integra
LifeSciences  segment  increased in 1999 primarily due to additional  headcount.
The decrease in

                                       36



corporate general and  administrative  expenses in 1999 resulted  primarily from
decreased  legal fees and costs  associated  with  maintenance  of the Company's
intellectual  property and the effects of a $0.2 million asset impairment charge
recorded in 1998, offset by increases related to additional headcount.

Net interest  income  consisted of interest  income of $1.0 million and interest
expense of $0.7 million in 1999.  Interest  income  decreased in 1999 consistent
with lower average cash and marketable securities balances during 1999.

Other income  decreased in 1999  primarily  because of a $0.6 million  favorable
litigation settlement recorded in 1998.

International Product Sales and Operations

In 2000, sales to customers outside the United States totaled $13.6 million,  or
21% of consolidated product sales, of which approximately 50% were to Europe. Of
this amount,  $3.2 million of these sales were  generated in foreign  currencies
from our subsidiary based in Andover, England, which was acquired in April 2000.
Our  international  sales and  operations  are  subject  to the risk of  foreign
currency  fluctuations,  both in terms of exchange risk related to  transactions
conducted in foreign  currencies  and the price of our products in those markets
for which sales are denominated in the U.S. dollar.

We are seeking to increase our presence in international  markets,  particularly
in Europe,  through  acquisitions of businesses  with an existing  international
sales  and  marketing   infrastructure  or  the  capacity  to  develop  such  an
infrastructure.

In 1999 and 1998,  respectively,  sales outside the United  States  totaled $9.1
million  and  $2.3  million,  respectively.  All of  these  product  sales  were
generated  from  operations  based in the United States and were  denominated in
U.S. dollars.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have historically  experienced significant operating losses. To date, we have
funded our operations  primarily  through private and public offerings of equity
securities,  product revenues,  research and collaboration  funding,  borrowings
under a revolving  credit line and cash  acquired in  connection  with  business
acquisitions and dispositions.

Excluding  the $13.5  million  stock-based  compensation  charge,  we would have
reported  operating income of $1.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2000.
However,  the Company did not  generate  positive  operating  cash flows in 2000
because of a significant  increase in working capital. We expect that we will be
able to achieve sustained  operating  profitability and positive  operating cash
flows in the future.  At December 31, 2000, we had cash,  cash  equivalents  and
short-term investments of approximately $15.1 million and $13.6 million in short
and long-term debt.

Our principal uses of funds during 2000 were $4.1 million for the acquisition of
CNS, $12.1 million for the  acquisition of certain  product lines from NMT, $3.3
million in  purchases  of  property  and  equipment,  $2.3  million of term loan
repayments,  and  $5.0  million  used in  operations.  Operating  cash  flow was
negative in 2000 primarily because of increased  inventory to support the growth
in the business,  increased accounts  receivable  balances generated from higher
product  sales,  and an increase in  demonstration  equipment and sample product
provided to the significantly larger Integra NeuroSciences sales force. In 1999,
cash flow from  operations  was  positive  primarily  because of a $5.7  million
increase in deferred revenues, most of which was provided by cash received under
the Ethicon Agreement.

                                       37



In 2000,  we raised $5.4 million  from the sale of Series C Preferred  Stock and
warrants to affiliates of Soros Private Equity Partners LLC, $5.0 million from a
private  placement  of common  stock,  $3.2  million from the issuance of common
stock through employee  benefit plans,  $3.1 million of proceeds from short-term
borrowings, and $1.6 million from the sale of product lines.

We  maintain  a term loan and  revolving  credit  facility  from  Fleet  Capital
Corporation (collectively, the "Fleet Credit Facility"), which is collateralized
by all of the  assets and  ownership  interests  of various of our  subsidiaries
including Integra  NeuroCare LLC, and NeuroCare Holding  Corporation (the parent
company  of  Integra  NeuroCare  LLC) has  guaranteed  Integra  NeuroCare  LLC's
obligations.   Integra  NeuroCare  LLC  is  subject  to  various  financial  and
non-financial  covenants under the Fleet Credit Facility,  including significant
restrictions  on its ability to transfer  funds to us or our other  subsidiaries
and  restrictions on its ability to borrow more money.  The financial  covenants
specify minimum levels of interest and fixed charge coverage and net worth,  and
also specify maximum levels of capital  expenditures  and total  indebtedness to
operating cash flow,  among others.  While we anticipate that Integra  NeuroCare
LLC will be able to satisfy the requirements of these financial covenants, there
can be no assurance that Integra NeuroCare LLC will generate sufficient earnings
before interest,  taxes,  depreciation and amortization to meet the requirements
of such covenants.  The term loan is subject to mandatory  prepayment amounts if
certain  levels  of cash  flow are  achieved.  In 2001,  Integra  NeuroCare  LLC
anticipates  prepaying  approximately  $2.1  million in principal as a result of
such provisions in addition to scheduled quarterly principal payments.

Additionally,  in January 2000, we issued a 5% $2.8 million  promissory  note to
the seller of the CNS business.  The  promissory  note,  which is payable in two
principal payments of $1.4 million each, plus accrued interest,  in January 2001
and 2002,  is  collateralized  by  inventory,  property and equipment of the CNS
business and by a collateral  assignment of a $2.8 million  promissory note from
one  of  our  subsidiaries.  The  first  principal  payment,  including  accrued
interest, was paid on January 16, 2001.

In the  short-term,  we believe  that we have  sufficient  resources to fund our
operations.  However, in the longer-term, there can be no assurance that we will
be able to generate  sufficient revenues to obtain positive operating cash flows
or  profitability   or  to  find  acceptable   alternatives  to  finance  future
acquisitions.

OTHER MATTERS

Net Operating Losses

At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's")
of  approximately  $41.6  million and $18.2 million for federal and state income
tax purposes, respectively, to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal
and state NOL's expire through 2020 and 2007, respectively.

At December 31, 2000,  several of the Company's  subsidiaries had unused NOL and
tax credit carryforwards  arising from periods prior to the Company's ownership.
Excluding the Company's Telios  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  subsidiary  ("Telios")),
approximately  $9 million of these NOL's for federal income tax purposes  expire
between 2001 and 2005. The Company's  Telios  subsidiary has  approximately  $84
million of net operating losses,  which expire between 2002 and 2010. The amount
of Telios' net operating  loss that is available  and the  Company's  ability to
utilize such loss is dependent on the determined  value of Telios at the date of
acquisition.  The  Company's has a valuation  allowance of $45 million  recorded
against all deferred tax assets,  including the net operating losses, due to the
uncertainty  of  realization.  The timing and manner in which these acquired net
operating losses may be utilized in any year by the Company are severely limited
by the  Internal  Revenue  Code of  1986,  as  amended,  Section  382 and  other
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and its applicable regulations.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative  Investments
and Hedging  Activities"  ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes  accounting
and reporting  standards for derivatives  and hedging  activities and supercedes
several  existing  standards.  SFAS No.  133,  as  amended by SFAS No.  137,  is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

In  December  1999 (as  amended  in March  2000 and June  2000) the staff of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin 101,
Revenue  Recognition  (the "SAB").  As the result of the adoption of the SAB, we
recorded a $470,000 cumulative effect of an accounting change to defer a portion
of a nonrefundable, up-front fee received and recorded in other revenue in 1998.
The cumulative  effect of this  accounting  change was measured as of January 1,
2000. As a result of this  accounting  change,  other revenue for the year ended
December 31, 2000 includes $112,000 of amortization of the amount deferred as of
January 1, 2000.

In March 2000, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued  Interpretation
No. 44 "Accounting for Certain  Transactions  Involving Stock  Compensation  -an
interpretation  of APB Opinion No. 25". ("FIN No. 44"). FIN No. 44 clarifies the
application of APB Opinion 25 for certain  issues.  FIN No. 44 became  effective
July 1, 2000, but certain  conclusions cover specific events that occurred after
either  December 15, 1998,  or January 12, 2000.  The adoption of FIN No. 44 did
not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2000, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments  of Liabilities - a replacement of FASB
Statement  No. 125"  ("SFAS No.  140").  SFAS No. 140  provides  accounting  and
reporting  standards  for  transfers  and  servicing  of  financial  assets  and
extinguishments  of  liabilities.  SFAS No. 140 is  effective  for fiscal  years
ending after  December  15, 2000.  The adoption of SFAS No. 140 did not have any
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market  risks  arising  from an  increase  in  interest  rates
payable on the variable rate Fleet Credit  Facility.  For example,  based on the
remaining term loan and revolving  credit  facility  outstanding at December 31,
2000,  an annual  interest  rate  increase of 100 basis  points  would  increase
interest expense by approximately $108,000.

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Integra LifeSciences
Holdings Corporation and Subsidiaries:

In our opinion,  the  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheets and the related
consolidated  statements  of  operations,  stockholders'  equity  and cash flows
present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the financial  position of Integra
LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") at December
31, 2000 and 1999 and the results of their  operations  and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended  December 31,  2000,  in  conformity
with accounting  principles  generally accepted in the United States of America.
These financial  statements are the responsibility of the Company's  management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial  statements based
on our audits.  We conducted our audits of these  statements in accordance  with
auditing  standards  generally  accepted in the United States of America,  which
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,  assessing the  accounting  principles
used and  significant  estimates made by management,  and evaluating the overall
financial  statement  presentation.   We  believe  that  our  audits  provide  a
reasonable basis for our opinion expressed above.

As discussed more fully in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,  the
Company has  restated its 2000 and 1999  consolidated  financial  statements  to
account for the  redemption  features  of the Series B and Series C  Convertible
Preferred  Stock  ("Series B and Series C  Preferred")  issued in March 1999 and
March  2000,  respectively.  The  carrying  value of the  Series B and  Series C
Preferred, which was previously presented as redeemable preferred stock, outside
of stockholders'  equity,  has been reclassified as a component of stockholders'
equity. The restatement of the 2000 and 1999 consolidated  financial  statements
had no effect on the  Company's  net loss,  net loss per share,  total assets or
total liabilities.

As discussed more fully in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements,  the
Company changed its method of accounting for  nonrefundable  fees received under
its various research, license and distribution agreements.

the Company operates are highly competitive,  and the Company may not be able to
compete  effectively with other companies with greater financial  resources.  In
general,   the  medical   technology   industry  is   characterized  by  intense
competition,  which comes from established pharmaceutical and medical technology
companies  and  early  stage  companies  that  have  alternative   technological
solutions for the Company's primary clinical  targets,  as well as universities,
research  institutions and other non-profit entities.  The Company's competitive
position  and  profitability  will  depend  on its  ability  to  achieve  market
acceptance for its products,  implement  production and marketing plans,  secure
regulatory approval for products under development, obtain patent protection and
secure adequate capital resources.

The Company  believes  that  current  cash  balances  and funds  available  from
existing revenue sources will be sufficient to finance the Company's anticipated
operations  for at least the next twelve  months.  The Company may in the future
seek to issue equity securities or enter into other financing  arrangements with
strategic  partners to raise funds in excess of its  anticipated  liquidity  and
capital requirements.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

Investments

The Company's current  investment policy is to invest available cash balances in
high quality debt securities  with maturities not to exceed 18 months.  Realized
gains and losses are determined on the specific  identification  cost basis. All
investments  are  classified as available for sale,  with  unrealized  gains and
losses reported in other comprehensive loss.

Inventories

Inventories,  consisting of purchased materials,  direct labor and manufacturing
overhead, are stated at the lower of cost, determined on the first-in, first-out
method, or market.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property,  plant and  equipment  is stated at cost.  The  Company  provides  for
depreciation  using the straight-line  method over the estimated useful lives of
the assets as follows:  buildings, 30 to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to
15 years; furniture and fixtures, 5 to 7 years; and leasehold improvements, over
the lesser of the minimum  lease term or the  remaining  life of the asset.  The
cost of major additions and improvements is capitalized.  Maintenance and repair
costs  that do not  improve  or extend  the lives of the  respective  assets are
charged to operations as incurred.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill  other  intangible  assets  are stated at cost and are  amortized  on a
straight-line basis over periods ranging from two to fifteen years.

Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived  assets held and used by the  Company,  including  goodwill and other
intangibles,   are  reviewed  for  impairment  whenever  events  or  changes  in
circumstances  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of an  asset  may  not  be
recoverable.  For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets
to be held  and  used,  a  recoverability  test  is  performed  using  projected
undiscounted  net  cash  flows  applicable  to  the  long-lived  assets.  If  an
impairment  exists,  the amount of such  impairment is  calculated  based on the
estimated  fair  value of the  asset.  Impairments  to  long-lived  assets to be
disposed of are recorded based upon the fair value of the applicable assets.

Preferred Stock

As  described  in  Note 9,  the  Company  issued  100,000  shares  of  Series  B
Convertible  Preferred  Stock ("Series B Preferred")  and warrants in March 1999
and 54,000 shares of Series C Convertible  Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred"
and, collectively,  the "Series B and Series C Preferred") and warrants in March
2000. The Company has restated its 2000 and 1999 financial statements to account
for the redemption features of the Series B and Series C Preferred. The carrying
value of the Series B and Series C Preferred,  which was previously presented as
redeemable   preferred  stock,   outside  of  stockholders'   equity,  has  been
reclassified  as a  component  of  stockholders  equity.  The  effect  of  these
restatements  are to increase  stockholders'  equity by $15.9  million and $10.3
million at December 31, 2000 and 1999,  respectively,  to the following  amounts
(in thousands):

                                                   December 31,
                                                2000          1999
                                                ----          ----
Before restatement........................    $37,863       $27,659
After restatement.........................     53,781        37,989

After further  consideration,  the Company has  determined  that the  redemption
features  of the Series B and Series C  Preferred  are within the control of the
Company and therefore,  the carrying amount should be reflected in stockholders'
equity.

These  restatements  had no  effect  on the  Company's  net loss or net loss per
share,  total assets or total  liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2000
or 1999.

Foreign Currency Translation

All assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of
exchange at year-end,  while sales and expenses  are  translated  at the average
exchange  rates in effect during the year.  The net effect of these  translation
adjustments is shown as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated  future tax
consequences   attributable  to  differences  between  the  financial  statement
carrying  amounts of existing assets and  liabilities  and their  respective tax
bases.

Revenue Recognition

Product sales are recognized  when delivery has occurred and title has passed to
the customer,  there is a fixed or determinable  sales price, and collectibility
of that sales price is reasonably assured.  Research grant revenue is recognized
when the related  expenses are  incurred.  Under the terms of existing  research
grants,  the Company is reimbursed  for allowable  direct and indirect  research
expenses.   Non-refundable   fees  received   under   research,   licensing  and
distribution arrangements are recognized as revenue when received if the Company
has no continuing  obligations to the other party. For those  arrangements where
the Company has continuing performance obligations,  revenue is recognized using
the lesser of the amount of non-refundable  cash received or the result achieved
using  percentage of  completion  accounting  based upon the  estimated  cost to
complete its  obligations.  Royalty  revenue is  recognized  over the period the
royalty products are sold.

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

Amounts  billed to customers  for shipping and handling are included in products
sales.  The related shipping and handling fees and costs incurred by the Company
are included in cost of product sales.

Research and Development

Research  and  development  costs are  expensed  in the period in which they are
incurred.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial  instruments,  which potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit risk, consist  principally of cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments,   which  are  held  at  major  financial  institutions,  and  trade
receivables. The Company's products are sold on an uncollateralized basis and on
credit terms based upon a credit risk assessment of each customer.

Net Loss per Share

     Amounts  used in the  calculation  of basic and  diluted net loss per share
     were as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

                                                   2000       1999       1998

Basic and diluted net loss per share ..........  $  (0.97)  $  (0.40)  $  (0.77)

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss applicable to common stock
by the weighted  average  number of common  shares  outstanding  for the period.
Diluted per share amounts  reflects the  potential  dilution that could occur if
securities or other  contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted
into  common  stock or resulted in the  issuance  of common  stock.  Options and
warrants to purchase 5,067,726,  4,401,000, and 3,095,000 shares of common stock
and preferred stock convertible into 3,217,800, 2,867,800, and 250,000 shares of
common stock at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively were not included
in the  computation  of diluted  loss per share  because  their  effect would be
antidilutive.  Restricted Units issued by the Company (see Note 10) that entitle
the holder to 2,250,000  shares of common stock are included  from their date of
issuance in the weighted average calculation because no further consideration is
due related to the issuance of the underlying common shares.

Comprehensive Loss

Comprehensive  loss  consists  of net loss plus all other  changes in net assets
from  non-owner  sources.  Components  of  comprehensive  loss  consist  of  the
following:

Issued to Employees" and Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No.
44  "Accounting  for  Certain  Transactions  Involving  Stock  Compensation  -an

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, CONTINUED

Use of Estimates

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative  Investments
and Hedging  Activities"  ("SFAS No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes  accounting
and reporting  standards for derivatives  and hedging  activities and supercedes
several  existing  standards.  SFAS No.  133,  as  amended by SFAS No.  137,  is
effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
The adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material impact on the consolidated
financial statements.

In  December  1999 (as  amended  in March  2000 and June  2000) the staff of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission (SEC) issued Staff Accounting  Bulletin 101,
Revenue  Recognition  (the "SAB").  As the result of the adoption of the SAB, we
recorded a $470,000 cumulative effect of an accounting change to defer a portion
of a nonrefundable,  up-front fee received and recorded in other revenue in 1998
(see Note 14). The cumulative  effect of this accounting  change was measured as
of January 1, 2000. As a result of this accounting change, other revenue for the
year ended  December 31, 2000 includes  $112,000 of  amortization  of the amount
deferred as of January 1, 2000.

In March 2000, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued  Interpretation
No. 44 "Accounting for Certain  Transactions  Involving Stock  Compensation  -an
interpretation  of APB Opinion No. 25" ("FIN No. 44").  FIN No. 44 clarifies the
application of APB Opinion 25 for certain  issues.  FIN No. 44 became  effective
July 1, 2000, but certain  conclusions cover specific events that occurred after
either  December 15, 1998,  or January 12, 2000.  The adoption of FIN No. 44 did
not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2000, the Financial  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 140 "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and  Extinguishments  of Liabilities - a replacement of FASB
Statement  No. 125"  ("SFAS No.  140").  SFAS No. 140  provides  accounting  and
reporting  standards  for  transfers  and  servicing  of  financial  assets  and
extinguishments  of  liabilities.  SFAS No. 140 is  effective  for fiscal  years
ending after  December  15, 2000.  The adoption of SFAS No. 140 did not have any
impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


3. BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

On April 6, 2000, the Company  purchased the Selector(R)  Ultrasonic  Aspirator,
Ruggles(TM) hand-held neurosurgical  instruments and Spembly Medical cryosurgery
product lines, including certain assets and liabilities,  from NMT Medical, Inc.
("NMT") for $11.6 million in cash.

3.   BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS, CONTINUED

On January 17, 2000,  the Company  purchased  the  business,  including  certain
assets and  liabilities,  of  Clinical  Neuro  Systems,  Inc.  ("CNS")  for $6.8
million. CNS designs,  manufactures and sells neurosurgical external ventricular
drainage  systems,  including  catheters  and drainage  bags, as well as cranial
access kits. The purchase price of the CNS business consisted of $4.0 million in
cash and a 5% $2.8 million  promissory note issued to the seller. The promissory
note,  which is payable in two  principal  payments of $1.4 million  each,  plus
accrued  interest,  in January 2001 and 2002,  is  collateralized  by inventory,
property and  equipment of the CNS business and by a collateral  assignment of a
$2.8 million promissory note from one of the Company's subsidiaries.

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 $25.2 million  acquisition  price was
comprised  of $14.2  million of cash and $11.0  million of assumed  indebtedness
under a term loan from Fleet Capital Corporation ("Fleet").  The cash portion of
the purchase  price was financed in part by affiliates  of Soros Private  Equity
Partners  LLC,  through  the  sale of $10.0  million  of  Series  B  Convertible
Preferred Stock.

On September 28, 1998, the Company acquired Rystan Company,  Inc. ("Rystan") for
800,000  shares of common stock of the Company and two warrants  each having the
right to  purchase  150,000  shares of the  Company's  common  stock.  The total
purchase  price  was  valued at $4.0  million.  In  January  1999,  the  Company
subsequently  sold a Rystan  product line,  including the brand name and related
production equipment,  for $6.4 million in cash and 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.

These  acquisitions  have  been  accounted  for  using  the  purchase  method of
accounting,  and the results of operations of the acquired  businesses have been
included in the consolidated  financial  statements since their respective dates
of  acquisition.  As adjusted for the sale of one of the Rystan product lines in
1999,  the allocation of the purchase  price of these  acquisitions  resulted in
acquired  intangible  assets,  consisting  primarily  of  completed  technology,
customer lists and trademarks of  approximately  $19.8 million,  which are being
amortized on a  straight-line  basis over lives ranging from 2 to 15 years,  and
residual goodwill of approximately  $9.1 million,  which is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over 15 years.

The NeuroCare  acquisition  was partially  funded  through an $11.0 million term
loan provided by Fleet.  Fleet has also provided a $4.0 million revolving credit
facility  to fund  working  capital  requirements.  The term loan and  revolving
credit  facility  (collectively,  the "Fleet Credit  Facility")  generally  bear
interest at a variable  rate that is based upon the prime  lending  rate charged
for commercial loans in the United States. An option is available to the Company
to borrow certain  portions of the Fleet Credit Facility at variable rates based
upon  the  London  Interbank  Overnight  Rate  ("LIBOR"),   subject  to  certain
limitations and restrictions.  At December 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively,  the
weighted  average interest rate on balances  outstanding  under the Fleet Credit
Facility was 9.8% and 9.5%, respectively.

8.   DEBT, CONTINUED

The Fleet  Credit  Facility is  collateralized  by all the assets and  ownership
interests of various subsidiaries of the company including Integra NeuroCare LLC
and NeuroCare Holding  Corporation (the parent company of Integra NeuroCare LLC)
has guaranteed  Integra  NeuroCare LLC's  obligations.  Integra NeuroCare LLC is
subject to various financial and non-financial  covenants under the Fleet Credit
Facility, including significant restrictions on its ability to transfer funds to
the Company or the Company's other subsidiaries.  At December 31, 2000 and 1999,
respectively, approximately $20.5 million and $15.6 million of Integra NeuroCare
LLC's net  assets  were  restricted  under the  provisions  of the Fleet  Credit
Facility.  The financial  covenants specify minimum levels of interest and fixed
charge  coverage  and net  worth,  and also  specify  maximum  levels of capital
expenditures  and total  indebtedness  to  operating  cash flow,  among  others.
Effective  September 29, 1999 and December 31, 1999,  certain of these financial
covenants were amended.  These  amendments did not change any other terms of the
Fleet Credit Facility.  While the Company anticipates that Integra NeuroCare LLC
will be able to satisfy the requirements of these amended  financial  covenants,
there can be no assurance  that Integra  NeuroCare LLC will generate  sufficient
earnings  before  interest,  taxes,  depreciation  and  amortization to meet the
requirements of such covenants.

Term loan repayments are due as follows (in thousands):

     2001 ................................................    $4,071

Notwithstanding the originally scheduled repayments, the term loan is subject to
mandatory  prepayment  amounts  if  certain  levels of cash  flow are  achieved.
Included  in the 2001  amount  is  approximately  $2.1  million  of  anticipated
principal prepayment.

In connection  with the purchase of the business,  including  certain assets and
liabilities, of CNS, the Company issued a 5% $2.8 million promissory note to the
seller.  The promissory note, which is payable in two principal payments of $1.4
million each, plus accrued interest, in January 2001 and 2002, is collateralized
by  inventory,  property  and  equipment of the CNS business and by a collateral
assignment  of a  $2.8  million  promissory  note  from  one  of  the  Company's
subsidiaries.

9. COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK

Preferred Stock Transactions

The Company is authorized to issue up to 15,000,000 shares of preferred stock in
one or more series,  of which 2,000,000 shares have been designated as Series A,
120,000  shares have been  designated  as Series B, and 54,000  shares have been
designated as Series C.

On March 29, 2000,  the Company  issued  54,000  shares of Series C  Convertible
Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred")  and warrants to purchase  300,000 shares
of  common  stock at $9.00  per  share to  affiliates  of Soros  Private  Equity
Partners LLC  ("Soros") for $5.4 million,  net of issuance  costs.  The Series C
Preferred  ranks on a parity with the Company's  Series B Convertible  Preferred
Stock, and is senior to the Company's common stock and all other preferred stock
of the Company.  The Series C Preferred is  convertible  into 600,000  shares of
common stock and has a liquidation  preference of $5.8 million,  including a 10%
cumulative annual dividend.  This liquidation  preference is payable upon i) the
redemption of the preferred shares at the Company's  option,  ii) the redemption
of  the  preferred  shares  in  the  event  of  the  Company's  sale  of  all or
substantially  all of its assets or certain  mergers  or  consolidations  of the
Corporation into or with any other  corporation,  or iii) a legal liquidation of
the Company.

9.   COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK, CONTINUED

The Series C Preferred  was issued with a  beneficial  conversion  feature  that
resulted in a nonrecurring,  non-cash  dividend of $4.2 million,  which has been
reflected  in the net loss per share  applicable  to  common  stock for the year
ended December 31, 2000. The  beneficial  conversion  dividend is based upon the
excess of the price of the  underlying  common  stock as  compared  to the fixed
conversion price of the Series C Preferred,  after taking into account the value
assigned to the common stock  warrants.  The  warrants  issued with the Series C
Preferred expire on December 31, 2001.

In connection with the NeuroCare acquisition,  the Company issued 100,000 shares
of Series B Convertible  Preferred  Stock ("Series B Preferred") and warrants to
purchase  240,000  shares of  common  stock at $3.82 per share to Soros for $9.9
million,  net of issuance  costs.  The Series B Preferred ranks on a parity with
the Series C  Preferred,  and is senior to the  Company's  common  stock and all
other preferred stock of the Company. The Series B Preferred is convertible into
2,617,801  shares of  common  stock and has a  liquidation  preference  of $11.8
million, including a 10% cumulative annual dividend. This liquidation preference
is payable  upon i) the  redemption  of the  preferred  shares at the  Company's
option, ii) the redemption of the preferred shares in the event of the Company's
sale  of  all  or  substantially  all  of  its  assets  or  certain  mergers  or
consolidations of the Corporation into or with any other corporation,  or iii) a
legal  liquidation  of the  Company.  The  warrants  issued  with  the  Series B
Preferred were exercised in March 2001.



During the second  quarter of 1998,  the Company sold 500,000 shares of Series A
Convertible  Preferred  Stock ("Series A Preferred") for $4.0 million to Century
Medical,  Inc. ("CMI"). CMI converted the Series A Preferred into 250,000 shares
of the Company's  common stock in October 2000.  The Series A Preferred  paid an
annual  dividend of $0.16 per share,  payable  quarterly,  and had a liquidation
preference  of $4.0 million that was payable  only upon the  liquidation  of the
Company.

Common Stock Transactions

In September  2000, the Company  completed a $5.0 million  private  placement of
333,334 shares of common stock to ArthroCare Corporation.

9.   COMMON AND PREFERRED STOCK, CONTINUED

In September  1998,  the Company  issued  800,000 shares of common stock and two
warrants,  each having the right to  purchase  150,000  shares of the  Company's
common stock at $6.00 and $7.00 per share, respectively,  to GWC Health, Inc., a
subsidiary of Elan  Corporation,  plc., as consideration  for the acquisition of
Rystan. Both of these warrants were exercised in October 1999.

Stock Split

The Company's stockholders approved a one-for-two reverse split of the Company's
common  stock at the  annual  stockholders  meeting  held on May 18,  1998.  All
outstanding common share and per share amounts have been retroactively  adjusted
to reflect the reverse split.

Stockholders' Rights

As stockholders of the Company,  Union Carbide  Corporation  affiliates of Soros
Private Equity Partners LLC, and GWC Health are entitled to certain registration
rights.  The  Company's  President and Chief  Executive  Officer also has demand
registration  rights  under the  Restricted  Units  issued in December  1997 and
December 2000 (see Note 10).


10.  STOCK PURCHASE AND AWARD PLANS

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company received  stockholder  approval for its Employee Stock Purchase Plan
("ESPP") in May 1998. The purpose of the ESPP is to provide  eligible  employees
of the  Company  with the  opportunity  to  acquire  shares of  common  stock at
periodic intervals by means of accumulated payroll deductions. Under the ESPP, a
total of 500,000  shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance.  These
shares will be made available either from the Company's  authorized but unissued
shares of common stock or from shares of common stock  reacquired by the Company
as treasury shares.  At December 31, 2000,  approximately  354,000 shares remain
available for purchase under the ESPP.

Stock Option Plans

As of December 31, 2000,  the Company had stock  options  outstanding  under six
plans,  the 1992 Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"),  the 1993 Incentive  Stock
Option and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1993 Plan"), the 1996 Incentive
Stock Option and  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan (the "1996  Plan"),  the 1998
Stock  Option  Plan (the "1998  Plan"),  the 1999 Stock  Option  Plan (the "1999
Plan") and the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2000 Plan" and collectively, the
"Plans").  No additional options can be granted out of the 1992 Plan and 175,000
shares reserved under the 1992 Plan were cancelled.

The Company has reserved  750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under both
the 1993 Plan and 1996 Plan, 1,000,000 shares under the 1998 Plan, and 2,000,000
shares  each  under the 1999 Plan and the 2000 Plan.  The 1993 Plan,  1996 Plan,
1998 Plan,  and the 1999 Plan  permit the  Company to grant both  incentive  and
non-qualified  stock options to designated  directors,  officers,  employees and
associates of the Company.  The 2000 Plan permits the Company to grant incentive
and non-qualified stock options,  stock appreciation  rights,  restricted stock,
performance  stock,  or  dividend  equivalent  rights to  designated  directors,
officers,  employees  and  associates of the Company.  Options  issued under the
Plans become  exercisable  over specified  periods,  generally within four years
from the date of grant, and generally expire six years from the grant date.

The  Company  has  adopted  the  disclosure-only  provisions  of  SFAS  No.  123
"Accounting for Stock Based  Compensation"  ("SFAS 123").  Had the  compensation
cost for the  Company's  stock  option plans been  determined  based on the fair
value at the grant  date for  awards in grant  since  1995  consistent  with the
provisions  of SFAS No. 123,  the  Company's  net loss and basic and diluted net
loss per share would have increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

model with the following weighted-average assumptions:

Restricted Units

In December 2000, the Company issued  1,250,000  restricted  units  ("Restricted
Units")  under  the  2000  Plan as a fully  vested  equity  based  bonus  to the
Company's President and Chief Executive Officer ("Executive") in connection with
the extension of his employment  agreement.  Each Restricted Unit represents the
right to receive one share of the Company's common stock. In connection with the
issuance of the Restricted  Units, the Company incurred a non-cash  compensation
charge of $13.5  million in the fourth  quarter of 2000,  which is  included  in
general and  administrative  expenses.  The Executive  also  received  1,000,000
Restricted  Units in December  1997,  each of which  entitles him to receive one
share of the Company's  common stock.  The  Restricted  Units issued in December
1997 were not issued under any of the Plans.

No other stock-based awards are outstanding under any of the Plans.

Fair value represents an estimate of the amount at which the instrument could be
exchanged in a current  transaction  between  willing  parties,  other than in a
forced  sale or  liquidation.  The fair value of cash and cash  equivalents  and
short-term investments were estimated based on market prices. The carrying value
of the Company's term loan and borrowings  under its revolving  credit  facility
approximate fair value because the interest rates on these financial instruments
are reset  periodically to reflect  current market rates.  The carrying value of
the 5% note payable  issued to the seller of the CNS business was  discounted to
fair value to reflect a rate that the Company could obtain on similar debt.


12.  LEASES

The Company  leases  administrative,  manufacturing,  research and  distribution
facilities  and  various  manufacturing,  office  and  transportation  equipment
through operating lease agreements.

In  November   1992,  a  corporation   whose   shareholders   are  trusts  whose
beneficiaries  include  beneficiaries  of the Company's  Chairman  acquired from
independent  third parties a 50% interest in the general  partnership from which
the Company leases its  manufacturing  facility in Plainsboro,  New Jersey.  The
lease  provides  for rent  escalations  of 10.1% and 8.5% in the years  2002 and
2007, respectively, and expires in October 2012.

The lease  agreement  related to the  Company's  research  facility in San Diego
provides for annual escalations.

In June 2000, the Company signed a five year lease related to certain production
equipment from a corporation  whose sole  stockholder is a general  partnership,
for which the Company's Chairman is a partner and the President. Under the terms
of the lease, the Company paid $45,000 to Medicus Corporation during 2000.

In May 1994,  the Company  entered into a 5 year lease  agreement with a related
party of the Company's Chairman for a facility in West Chester, Pennsylvania. In
January 1998, the Company  suspended its operations at this facility and in June
1998,  entered into a lease  termination  agreement related to the facility that
required  the Company to pay $330,000 for the  facility's  maintenance,  certain
operating  costs and other  commitments  through April 1999.  Additionally,  the
Company  recorded an asset  impairment  charge of  $145,000  in 1998  related to
certain leasehold  improvements  made at the West Chester facility.  This charge
was included in general and administrative expense.

13.  INCOME TAXES, CONTINUED

The Company's  valuation  allowance was provided against the deferred tax assets
due to the uncertainty of realization. The net change in the Company's valuation
allowance was  $3,342,000,  $18,000,  and  $4,380,000 in 2000,  1999,  and 1998,
respectively. The 1999 change in valuation allowance includes a non-cash benefit
of $1.8 million  resulting  from the deferred  tax  liabilities  recorded in the
NeuroCare  acquisition to the extent that consolidated  deferred tax assets were
generated subsequent to the acquisition.

A  reconciliation  of the United States Federal  statutory rate to the Company's
effective tax rate for the years ended  December 31, 2000,  1999, and 1998 is as

At December 31, 2000, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOL's")
of  approximately  $41.6  million and $18.2 million for federal and state income
tax purposes, respectively, to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal
and state NOL's  expire  through  2020 and 2007,  respectively.  During 2000 and
1999,  respectively,  the  Company  recognized  a tax  benefit of  $467,000  and
$645,000 from the sale of certain state net operating loss carryforwards through
a special program offered by the State of New Jersey.

At December 31, 2000,  several of the Company's  subsidiaries had unused NOL and
tax credit carryforwards  arising from periods prior to the Company's ownership.
Excluding the Company's Telios  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  subsidiary  ("Telios")),
approximately  $9 million of these NOL's for federal income tax purposes  expire
between 2001 and 2005. The Company's  Telios  subsidiary has  approximately  $84
million of net operating losses,  which expire between 2002 and 2010. The amount
of Telios' net operating  loss that is available  and the  Company's  ability to
utilize such loss is dependent on the determined  value of Telios at the date of
acquisition.  The  Company's has a valuation  allowance of $45 million  recorded
against all deferred tax assets,  including the net operating losses, due to the
uncertainty  of  realization.  The timing and manner in which these acquired net
operating losses may be utilized in any year by the Company are severely limited
by the  Internal  Revenue  Code of  1986,  as  amended,  Section  382 and  other
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and its applicable regulations.

14.  DEVELOPMENT, DISTRIBUTION, AND LICENSE AGREEMENTS AND GOVERNMENT GRANTS

The Company has various  development,  distribution,  and license agreements and
government grant awards under which it receives payments. Significant agreements
and grant awards include the following:

-    In 1999,  the Company and  Ethicon,  Inc., a division of Johnson & Johnson,
     signed an  agreement  (the  "Ethicon  Agreement")  providing  Ethicon  with
     exclusive   marketing  and   distribution   rights  to  INTEGRA(R)   Dermal
     Regeneration  Template  worldwide,   excluding  Japan.  Under  the  Ethicon
     Agreement,  the Company  will  continue to  manufacture  INTEGRA(R)  Dermal
     Regeneration Template and will collaborate with Ethicon to conduct research
     and  development and clinical  research aimed at expanding  indications and
     developing  future  products in the field of skin repair and  regeneration.
     Upon signing the Ethicon  Agreement,  the Company  received a nonrefundable
     payment from Ethicon of $5.3 million for the exclusive use of the Company's
     trademarks and regulatory filings related to INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration
     Template and certain  other rights.  This amount was initially  recorded as
     deferred  revenue and is being recognized as revenue in accordance with the
     Company's  revenue  recognition  policy for  nonrefundable,  up-front  fees
     received.  The unamortized  balance of $4.5 million at December 31, 2000 is
     recorded  in  deferred  revenue,  of which $0.5  million is  classified  as
     short-term.  Additionally,  the Ethicon Agreement  requires Ethicon to make
     nonrefundable  payments  to  the  Company  each  year  based  upon  minimum
     purchases of INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration Template.

     The Ethicon  Agreement  also provides for annual  research  funding of $2.0
     million for the years 2000 through 2004,  after which such funding  amounts
     will be determined based on a formula.  Additional funding will be received
     upon the  occurrence  of certain  clinical  and  regulatory  events and for
     funding certain expansions of the Company's  INTEGRA(R) Dermal Regeneration
     Template  production  capacity.  In 2000, the Company received  $750,000 of
     event-related payments from Ethicon which were recorded in Other revenue in
     accordance with the Company's revenue recognition policy.

-    The Company was awarded a three-year,  $2.0 million  Department of Commerce
     grant award in April 1998 under the National  Institute  of  Standards  and
     Technology program for continued work on a class of biodegradable  polymers
     licensed from Rutgers University.

-    In March 1998, the Company entered into a series of agreements with Century
     Medical,  Inc ("CMI"),  a  wholly-owned  subsidiary of ITOCHU  Corporation,
     under which CMI is underwriting  the costs of the Japanese  clinical trials
     and   regulatory   approval   processes   for  certain  of  the   Company's
     neurosurgical  products and will  distribute  these  products in Japan.  In
     connection  with  these  agreements,  CMI paid the  Company a $1.0  million
     non-refundable,  upfront  fee as  partial  reimbursement  of  research  and
     development costs previously expended by the Company, which was recorded in
     Other revenue when received in 1998. In connection with the adoption of SAB
     101 in 2000,  the  Company  recorded  a  $470,000  cumulative  effect of an
     accounting change to defer a portion of this up-front fee (see Note 2).

-    In January 1996,  the Company and  Cambridge  Antibody  Technology  Limited
     ("CAT") entered into an agreement consisting of a license to CAT of certain
     rights to use  anti-TGF-(beta)  antibodies  for the  treatment  of fibrotic
     diseases.  The  Company  will  receive  royalties  upon  the sale by CAT of
     licensed products. In September,  2000, Genzyme General ("Genzyme") and CAT
     announced a broad  collaboration for the development of human anti-TGF-beta
     monocloncal  antibodies,  which  collaboration would include the use of the
     intellectual  property  licensed by the Company from The Burnham  Institute
     ("Burnham"). In return for certain payments to the Company and Burnham, and
     certain rights to other intellectual  property owned by or licensed to CAT,
     the Company  and  Burnham  transferred  various  rights to  anti-TGF-(beta)
     antibodies to CAT and Genzyme. The Company received a nonrefundable payment
     of  $720,000  from CAT in  connection  with  this  transaction,  which  was
     recorded  in  Other  revenue  in  accordance  with  the  Company's  revenue
     recognition policy.

As consideration for certain technology, manufacturing, distribution and selling
rights  and  licenses  granted to the  Company,  the  Company  has agreed to pay
royalties  on the sales of  products  that are  commercialized  relative  to the
granted  rights and licenses.  Royalty  payments  under these  agreements by the
Company were not significant for any of the periods presented.

Various  lawsuits claims and proceedings are pending or have been settled by the
Company. The most significant of those are described below.

In July 1996,  the  Company  filed a patent  infringement  lawsuit in the United
States  District  Court for the Southern  District of  California  against Merck
KGaA, a German corporation,  Scripps Research Institute,  a California nonprofit
corporation,  and David A. Cheresh,  Ph.D.,  a research  scientist with Scripps,
seeking  damages and  injunctive  relief.  The  complaint  charged,  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 certain of the Company's patents.
These  patents are part of a group of 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 filed a countersuit asking for an award of defendants' reasonable
attorney fees.  This case went to trial in February 2000, and on March 17, 2000,
a jury returned a unanimous verdict for the Company, finding that Merck KGaA had
infringed and induced the  infringement  of the Company's  patents,  and awarded
$15,000,000 in damages.  On September 29, 2000, the United States District Court
for the Southern District of California  entered judgment in the Company's favor
and against  Merck KGaA in the case.  In entering the  judgment,  the court also
granted the Company pre-judgment interest of approximately $1,350,000,  bringing
the total amount to  approximately  $16,350,000,  plus  post-judgment  interest.
Various post-trial  motions are pending,  including requests by Merck KGaA for a
new trial or a judgment as a matter of law  notwithstanding  the verdict,  which
could have the effect of reducing the  judgment or reversing  the verdict of the
jury. In addition, if the Company wins these post-trial motions, we expect Merck
KGaA to appeal  various  decisions of the Court.  No amounts for this  favorable
verdict have been reflected in the Company's financial statements.

Bruce D. Butler, Ph.D., Bruce A. McKinley, Ph.D., and C. Lee Parmley (the "Optex
Claimants"),  each parties to a Letter  Agreement (the "Letter  Agreement") with
Camino  NeuroCare,  Inc., a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the Company  ("Camino"),
dated as of December  18, 1996,  alleged  that Camino  breached the terms of the
Letter  Agreement  prior to the Company's  acquisition  of the  NeuroCare  Group
(Camino's  prior parent  company).  In August,  2000,  the Company and the Optex
Claimants  reached an  agreement  whereby the Company  paid the Optex  Claimants
$250,000 cash and issued 45,000 shares of the Company's common stock,  valued at
$641,250, in settlement of all claims under the Letter Agreement.  Subsequent to
the settlement of this matter,  the Company received $350,000 from the seller of
the NeuroCare Group through assertion of the Company's right of indemnification.
The  Company  did not record  any  provision  for this  matter,  as  liabilities
recorded at the time of the Company's acquisition of the NeuroCare Group and the
$350,000 indemnification payment were adequate to cover this liability.

In 1995,  the  Company's  subsidiary  filed a  complaint  against a  distributor
claiming  the  distributor  breached a  distribution  agreement  by, among other
things, not paying the Company's  subsidiary for certain products delivered.  In
1998,  the Company and the  distributor  entered into a settlement  agreement in
which the  distributor  agreed to pay an aggregate  of $550,000 in  installments
over the remainder of 1998.  The Company  recorded a net gain in other income in
1998 of $550,000 as a result of the settlement.

As the result of the adoption of SEC Staff  Accounting  Bulletin No. 101 REVENUE
RECOGNITION,  the Company recorded a $470,000 cumulative effect of an accounting
change in the first quarter of 2000 to defer a portion of an up-front  licensing
fee received and recorded in other  revenue in 1998.  The  cumulative  effect of
this  accounting  change was measured as of January 1, 2000. As a result of this
accounting change, other revenue in each of the first three quarterly periods in
the year ended  December  31, 2000 has been  restated  to reflect an  additional
$28,000 of amortization related to this licensing fee.

As the result of the adoption of EITF 00-10 ACCOUNTING FOR SHIPPING AND HANDLING
FEES AND COSTS,  we have  reclassified  shipping  and  handling  fees  billed to
customers into products sales and the related  expenses in cost of product sales
for all quarterly periods presented.  The adoption of this accounting policy did
not affect operating results or net income (loss).

18.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On March 16, 2001,  the Company  signed an agreement to acquire all of the stock
of GMSmbH ("GMS"),  the German  manufacturer of the LICOX(R) Brain Tissue Oxygen
Monitoring System (the "LICOX system"),  for approximately  $1.2 million in cash
and  approximately  $1.3 million in assumed  debt.  The LICOX system  allows for
continuous  qualitative  regional  monitoring of dissolved oxygen in body fluids
and tissues. Prior to the acquisition of GMS, the Integra NeuroSciences division
served as the  distributor  of the LICOX  system in the  United  States  and the
United  Kingdom.  The  acquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of
2001.

Annual Report on Form 10-K/A of Integra  LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation and
Subsidiaries  (the "Company") also included an audit of the financial  statement
schedules  listed in the index in Item 14 of this Form  10-K/A.  In our opinion,

the  information  set forth  therein when read in  conjunction  with the related
consolidated financial statements.

As  discussed  more  fully  in Note 2 to the  Company's  consolidated  financial
statements,  the Company has restated its 2000 and 1999  consolidated  financial
statements to account for the  redemption  features of the Series B and Series C
Convertible  Preferred Stock ("Series B and Series C Preferred") issued in March
1999 and March  2000,  respectively.  In the  accompanying  condensed  financial
information  appearing  on  Schedule I, the  carrying  value of the Series B and
Series C  Preferred,  which was  previously  presented as  redeemable  preferred
stock, outside of stockholders'  equity, has been reclassified as a component of
stockholders'  equity. The restatement of the 2000 and 1999 condensed  financial
information had no effect on net loss, net loss per share, total assets or total
liabilities.

Notes to Financial Statement Schedule

1.   As described  in Note 9 to the Integra  LifeSciences  Holdings  Corporation
     (the  "Company")  consolidated  financial  statements,  the Company  issued
     100,000  shares  of  Series  B  Convertible   Preferred  Stock  ("Series  B
     Preferred")  and  warrants  in March  1999 and  54,000  shares  of Series C
     Convertible  Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred" and,  collectively,  the
     "Series B and Series C  Preferred")  and  warrants  in March  2000.  In the
     accompanying  condensed financial  information appearing on Schedule I, the
     2000 and 1999  financial  statements  have been restated to account for the
     redemption  features of the Series B and Series C  Preferred.  The carrying
     value  of the  Series  B and  Series  C  Preferred,  which  was  previously
     presented as redeemable preferred stock,  outside of stockholders'  equity,
     has been reclassified as a component of stockholders  equity. The effect of
     these  restatements are to increase  stockholders'  equity by $15.9 million
     and $10.3  million at  December  31,  2000 and 1999,  respectively,  to the
     following amounts (in thousands):

                                                        December 31,
                                                     2000          1999
                                                     ----          ----
     Before restatement........................    $37,863       $27,659
     After restatement.........................     53,781        37,989

     After further consideration, the Company has determined that the redemption
     features of the Series B and Series C  Preferred  are within the control of
     the Company and  therefore,  the  carrying  amount  should be  reflected in
     stockholders' equity.

     These  restatements had no effect on the Company's net loss or net loss per
     share,  total assets or total  liabilities for the years ended December 31,
     2000 or 1999.

2.   The Registrant  did not receive any cash  dividends  from its  consolidated
     subsidiaries in any period presented.

3.   The  Registrant's  investments in and advances to subsidiaries are recorded
     using the equity method of accounting.
