ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998

Total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 were $576,895
and $2,168,883, respectively.  These figures reflect a decrease of $178,622, or
24% for the same three month period in 1998 and an increase of $500,393, or 30%
compared to the same six month period in 1998.  Product sales decreased $233,066
or 37% in the three month period and $274,590 or 22% in the six month period
ended June 30, 1999, compared to the same periods in the prior year.  The
decrease is primarily attributable to a 40% decrease in revenue from product
sales used with  human growth hormone in international markets that had strong
sales early in 1998 due to initial market entry.  These strong 1998 sales
returned to a more normal level after the first half.

Licensing and product development fee income increased by $54,444 or 42% in the
three month period and $774,983 or 178% in the six month period ended June 30,
1999, as compared to the prior year periods. This increase reflects the funds
received from Schering-Plough Corporation to settle mutual obligations of the
parties under a contract dated January 20, 1998.  The Company received a one-
time payment of $783,317 from Schering-Plough in exchange for cancellation of a
product purchase order and as reimbursement for certain non-cancelable
manufacturing expenses.  The Company expects that licensing and product
development fee income will fluctuate on a quarterly basis, depending on a
variety of factors; including the timing of execution of potential development
and licensing agreements and the timing, nature and size of fee payments to be
made under existing and new agreements.  In addition, since the Company does
not, in general, recognize project-based fee income until related development
work has been performed, quarterly results will fluctuate with the timing of the
Company's research and development efforts.

Cost of sales in the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 reflect
decreases of $188,686 or 35% and $183,762 or 18% respectively when compared to
prior year periods.  The decreases are the result of lower product sales,
primarily products used with human growth hormone applications.

Research and development expenses totaled $525,063 and $ 1,185,585 in the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively.  Theses figures reflect
decreases from the prior year periods of $76,107 or 13% and $8,071 or 1%,
respectively due primarily to managed reductions in employee headcount and
overhead spending.

General and administrative expenses totaled $488,526 and $974,209 in the three
and six month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively.  These figures
represent a decrease of $78,289 or 14% and $137,418 or 12% when compared to the
same periods in 1998.  The largest component of the decrease is attributable to
staffing reductions which were completed in October 1998.

                                       7
<PAGE>

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $224,030 and $488,235 in the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively.  These figures reflect an
increase in the three month period of $25,161 or 13% and an increase in the six
month period of $42,523 or 10%.  The main components of these increases are
expenses related to a new web site and new sales literature related to the
change to OTC status for our domestic insulin product.

Net other income for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 decreased by
$62,418 or 85% and $129,805 or 78% relative to the prior year three-month and
six-month periods ending June 30. This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in
interest income attributable to lower average cash balances.

New Product Research and Development
The Company continues to dedicate much of its financial resources and personnel
toward developing new products and technology.  The newest injector, the Medi-
Jector VISION, will be released to the market in the fourth quarter of this
year.  Beta testing of this new product produced numerous favorable comments
regarding ease of use, light weight and small size.

Development activities on two additional product platforms, the MJ-8 Injector
and the AJ-1 Injector, remain on schedule with prototypes due later this year
and commercialization planned for 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $1,645,947 on June 30, 1999, compared to
$2,852,285 on December 31, 1998.  This decrease of $1,206,338 results primarily
from a net loss of $1,263,128 adjusted for charges of depreciation and
amortization and changes in operating assets and liabilities.  Significant
components were a management-planned decline in inventory of $217,849 in an
effort to reduce working capital offset by a decline in deferred revenue of
$216,000 due to income recognition as development was completed, and a decline
in accrued expenses and other liabilities of $102,317.  Purchases of fixed
assets in the amount of $144,755 further lowered the cash balance.

The Company's long term capital requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including the status of the Company's collaborative arrangements, the progress
of the Company's research and development programs and the receipt of revenues
from sales of the Company's products.  The Company believes that cash on hand,
interest expected to be earned thereon and anticipated revenues, will meet its
needs through December 1999.  In order to meet its capital needs beyond this
period, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through public
or private debt or equity offerings.  The Company can provide no assurance,
however, that cash available will be sufficient to meet the Company's needs
during the next six months or beyond due to fluctuations in product development
expenses and receipt of estimated license fees, that the Company will ever
become profitable, or that the Company will be able to raise additional capital
when and if needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Impact of the Year 2000
The Company is addressing the issue associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000) approaches.

The Company had all internal systems analyzed, reprogrammed and tested by June
30, 1999.  To date, confirmations have been received from virtually all of the
Company's vendors indicating that plans are being developed to address
processing of transactions in the Year 2000.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will not experience serious unanticipated negative consequences and/or
material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the technology used in
its internal operating systems, which are composed predominantly of third party
software and hardware technology, or by the failure of vendors to correct their
Year 2000 issues.  The majority of the Company's current standard product lines
and manufacturing equipment are not date sensitive and therefore are not
affected by the Year 2000 issues.

The Company has incurred only minimal expense to address the Year 2000 problem
to date and expects that it will incur only minimal expenses in total.  The
volume of transactions and operations, processed by the Company's automated
systems, that could potentially be affected can be handled manually or by
outside vendors, if need be, to prevent any interruptions in Company operations.
To mitigate any risk associated with receiving materials from sole source
suppliers, the Company will be purchasing additional reserve inventory related
to selected critical items.  Currently, management does not foresee any negative
impact from Year 2000 issues upon the Company's operations.

Reverse Stock Split
On January 28, 1999, the Company declared a one-for-five reverse stock split of
its outstanding common stock, applicable to shareholders of record at close of
trading on January 28, 1999.  The reverse split was affected in response to the
Nasdaq National Market listing requirements which require that the Company
maintain a minimum value of public float of $5,000,000 and a minimum bid price
of $1.00 per share.  After the reverse split, the Company met the requirements
for continued listing on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, which require the Company
to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and to maintain a minimum
value of public float of $1,000,000.  After the reverse split, the Company had
1,424,729 shares of common stock outstanding as fractional shares were paid out
in cash to respective shareholders.  All common share and per share amounts in
this report have been retroactively restated to give effect to this reverse
stock split.

shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Record
