</TABLE>

   As illustrated in the table above, product sales in the 1999 periods
increased by $120,456 and $134,422, respectively, over the comparable three
month and nine month periods ended September 30, 1998. These increases resulted
from an increased marketing effort which were effective in negotiating
substantial contracts for product. Product sales consisted primarily of the 1cc
locking clip syringe, a difficult-to-reuse syringe. All syringes were either
produced in the Company's own production facility in New York or by its
Portuguese contract manufacturer. The Company has increased its production
capacity during this quarter by contracting with a manufacturer located in Korea
to supply syringes for existing contracts.

   Under two existing agreements with customers to supply 41,000,000 and
14,000,000 syringes, as of September 30, 1999, approximately $2,500,000 and
$1,000,000 were not shipped and are deliverable through the year 2000 and
December 31, 1999, respectively.

   Gross margin for the three months ended September 30, 1999 has increased to
10%, as compared to 1% for the comparable 1998 period. This result was obtained
through an increase in sales and a increase in the utilization of a contract
manufacturer for production of syringes to fulfill contract demands. Gross
margin on finished product purchased from the Portuguese or Korean manufacturer
is significantly higher than at the Company's New York facility. Production in
the Long Island, New York facility has not been fully utilized resulting in
increased cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999,
as compared to the comparable 1998 periods. As the Company continues to increase
sources of production at a more favorable cost, gross margin should continue to
improve.

   Marketing costs in 1999 increased $55,198 and $216,528 over the comparable
three month and nine month periods, respectively, ended September 30, 1998. The
increases were the results of efforts to obtain additional contracts for product
sales.

   Product development expenses in 1999 decreased 78% and 56% over the
comparable three and nine month periods, respectively, ended September 30, 1998.
These decreases were due primarily to the management's decision to utilize its

<PAGE>

resources in the development of its production facility in 1998, and in 1999, to
utilize its resources for marketing.

    As a result of the June, 1999 licensing agreement, Univec will be ready to
manufacture and market a sliding sheath designed to protect health care workers
in early 2000. The introduction of this new product is expected to increase
sales and broaden the Company's customer base to include a domestic market.

    General and administrative costs in 1999 decreased by $72,166 and $151,586
for the comparable three month and nine month periods, respectively, ended
September 30, 1998. These decreases were due primarily to a reduction in
administrative personnel offset in part by an increase in professional fees and
securities maintenance expense. The Company continues to implement cost
reductions.

    Net interest expense increased by $62,570 and $65,885, respectively, for the
1999 periods as compared to the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1998. Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999, primarily reflect payments of $2,066 and $5,100, respectively, of interest
on the capital lease obligation which was not in effect during fiscal year 1998.
Approximately $49,000, which is 82% and 72%, respectively, of the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 1999, represent costs associated with seeking
debt financing arrangements. Although financing has not yet been secured, Univec
is continuing to investigate various opportunities.

    The net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1999, decreased by 10%
as compared to the 1998 three month period. This decrease is primarily the
result of a substantial increase in sales offset in part by an accompanying low
increase in cost of goods and a 19% reduction in general and administrative
expenses. The 8% increase in net loss for the nine month period ended September
30, 1999, is reflective of an overall lower increase in product sales for that
period. The increase in marketing expenses and the decrease in product
development cost for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
1999 basically offset any impact on net loss.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    The Company's working capital declined from $190,792 at December 31, 1998,
to a deficit of $556,941 at September 30, 1999, primarily resulting from the net
loss.

    Net cash used in operating activities decreased by $393,222 from $981,830
primarily due to a increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a
decrease in inventory, offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Net cash
from financing decreased by 17% resulting from the net proceeds of the sale of
Series B Preferred Stock in 1998. With the marketing and sale of the new sliding
sheath and increased production of the locking clip syringe, the Company
anticipates that operating activities will generate a positive cash flow in
early 2000.

The Company is pursuing debt financing to provide additional working capital and
in the future will seek additional equity financing which will dilute existing
shareholders. As a result of the delisting of the Company's common stock from
the Nasdaq SmallCap Market, the Company's abiilty to raise equity financing may
be hampered.

Forward Looking Statements

    Except for the historical information contained herein, the matters
discussed in this report are forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including need for additional financing and other risks detailed
