Item 3.02  Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities

        Derma Sciences, Inc. (the “Registrant”) is making an offering of up to 3,000,000 units (the “Units”) at $0.50 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one share of the Registrant’s common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Common Stock”), and one four-year warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at the price of $1.05 (the “Warrants”). Neither the Units nor the Common Stock component of the Units nor the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the latter, collectively, the “Underlying Common Stock”) have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) and are being offered pursuant to the exemptions from registration set forth in section 4(2) of the Act and Regulation D, Rules 501-503 and 506 promulgated thereunder. The Units are being offered exclusively to “accredited investors” as this term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Neither the Units nor the Underlying Common Stock may be reoffered or resold absent either registration under the Act or the availability of an exemption from registration requirements.

        The Registrant has undertaken to file a registration statement relative to the Underlying Common Stock within 30 days after termination of the offering. The offering is scheduled to terminate January 15, 2005 subject to earlier sale of the Units.

        Pursuant to the offering, the following securities have been sold on the dates indicated:

  Date   Units Sold   Proceeds
           
  December 10, 2004 (1)   400,000   $200,000
  December 14, 2004 (1)      720,000      360,000
  December 15, 2004 (2)      300,000      150,000
  December 28, 2004 (3)      135,000       67,500
  January 3, 2005 (4)      100,000       50,000
  January 10, 2005      200,000      100,000
       
  Total to date   1,855,000   $927,500
      =======   =======

        The Registrant will pay commissions incident to the sale of the Units in the amount of 9% of the purchase price thereof, together with five-year warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Registrant equal to 10% of the Common Stock sold in the offering and exercisable at $0.625 per share. Commissions are not payable with respect to Units, if any, sold to the Registrant’s current shareholders, officers, directors and offerees in the Registrant’s prior private placements. To date, commissions in the amount of $63,900 and 142,000 warrants to purchase Common Stock at $0.625 per share have been earned.
