ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS 
        OF OPERATIONS

 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 AND 1998

      Sales in the first quarter of 1999 were $1.6 million and were 63 % higher
than the first quarter of 1998. First quarter sales increased by $611,000 from
the year earlier period as a result of overall sales growth in the Company's
business. The Company's sales are primarily hemodialysis concentrates and
related ancillary products and supplies sold to hemodialysis providers. The
majority of the Company's revenues are from hemodialysis concentrates. The
Company realized sales growth of 67% in its hemodialysis concentrate products
as a result of a combination of increased volume, higher prices and the
introduction of new products from the year earlier period. Excluding new product
sales, concentrate sales increased by 50% compared to the first quarter last
year with average selling prices increasing by 12.8%.

      Of the Company's 67% aggregate sales increase in its concentrate products,
new product sales accounted for 17% of the total concentrate sales increase for
the quarter over the year earlier period. The Company realized sales growth from
the introduction of Dry Sate(TM) Dry Acid Concentrate and Sterilytc(TM) Liquid
Bicarbonate. In addition to new product sales growth, the Company experienced
sales volume gains of 37% on its other concentrate products. Higher average
selling prices, ranging between 11% and 14%, were realized for concentrate
products. Overall, aggregate price increases generated in excess of $100,000 in
revenue in concentrate product sales compared to the first quarter of 1998.

      The Company also derives revenue from the sale of ancillary products and
from back-haul revenue. For the quarter, ancillary sales were up 56% or $72,000
as compared to the first quarter of 1998. Approximately 50% of the increase was
from the sale of mixing equipment used by customers that use the Dri-Sate(TM)
Acid Concentrate product. Other ancillary sales increased about 30%. The Company
generates back-haul revenue from its truck fleet. In the first quarter,
back-haul revenue decreased by $3,000 compared to the year earlier period.

      Gross profit margins for the quarter were 9.3% compared to a gross margin
deficit or 16.6% in the first quarter of 1998, for an improvement of 25.9 margin
points. The gross margin improvement was due to increased volume, higher average
selling prices, improved product mix, increased manufacturing efficiency and
reduced distribution costs as a percent of sales revenue. Overall, gross profit
dollars improved by $309,500 compared to the first quarter last year. Price
increases on concentrates contributed approximately one-third of the
improvement. Improved fleet utilization and reduced distribution costs also
benefited first quarter results compared to the first quarter last year.
Excluding the impact of price

increases, overall concentrate product sales increased by 54% while overall
distribution costs increased by 27%. Similarly, manufacturing and labor
efficiencies were achieved with those costs up approximately 13% on a 54%
concentrate product volume increase. 

      Selling, General & Administrative expense for the quarter was $531,000
compared to $389,000 in the first quarter of 1998. First quarter 1999 costs to
sales were 33.5%, as a per cent of sales, which was 6.5 points lower than the
year earlier period of 40% to sales. Overall, Selling, General and
Administrative Expense increased by $142,000 or 36% compared to the first
quarter of 1998. The Company incurred additional costs as a result of becoming a
publicly traded company including expenses related to investor relations and
professional services which on a combined basis increased expenses by $55,000.
The Company has added sales resources which increased sales and marketing
expenses by $50,000. In addition, compensation expense was up $35,000 from the
year earlier period.

      Interest Income for the first quarter of 1999 was $25,000 for the
quarter, which was $13,000 higher than the year earlier period.

      The Company had a net loss of $358,137 for the quarter compared to a net
loss of $539,585 in the first quarter of 1998. Overall the net loss was reduced
by $181,448 which represented a 33% reduction in the loss level from the first
quarter of 1998. Basic and fully diluted earnings per share improved $0.05 to a
loss of ($0.07) as compared to a loss of ($0.12) per share in the first
quarter of 1998. Of the total $0.05 improvement in earnings per share, slightly
less than $0.01 of the improvement was due to an increase in the number of
Common Shares outstanding, which was due to the Company's Initial Public
Offering of its Common Shares in January of 1998.


 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      In 1998, the Company issued 1,800,000 Common Shares and 3,105,000 Common
Share Purchase Warrants in an Initial Public Offering on January 26, 1998. The
net offering proceeds of $5.8 million were used for: (a) payments for
redemption of the Series A Preferred Shares ($1.2 million), (b) payments of
accounts payable and certain liabilities ($1,100,000), and (c) repayment of
promissory notes ($217,000). The balance of the cash remaining, approximately 
$3.3 million at that time, was intended to be used to fund operating cash needs,
capital equipment acquisitions and business development throughout the United
States.

      At the end of the first quarter of 1999, the Company had cash balances and
short term investments of $1.3 million to fund its future operating cash needs.
The Company anticipates that it will continue to have a need for cash to
continue its business development efforts and to fund future operating losses.
The Company anticipates that it has sufficient cash resources to meet its
current cash requirements to fund operations over the next twelve months.

      For the first quarter of 1999, the Company used $641,000 in cash to fund
operations, with $231,000 used to fund operating activities and a $410,000
increase in working capital. Working Capital increased during the quarter
largely due to an increase in accounts receivable of $287,000 in the quarter.
The Company anticipates that the current receivable level will be reduced during
the second quarter.

      Capital spending for the quarter was $18,000 with the majority due to
information technology spending.

YEAR 2000 ISSUES AND CONSEQUENCES

      The Company is continuing the process of reviewing its systems and those
of its key vendors and suppliers with respect to the impact of Year 2000. With
respect to its suppliers, the Company has initiated a review of its key
suppliers and has received assurance from its key suppliers that they have taken
steps to ensure that they will not interrupt the Company's supply chain and that
they have addressed or are addressing any Year 2000 impact on their respective
organizations. The Company believes that there are alternative sources of supply
for the primary materials used in its operations and therefore, has limited
exposure to a disruption in its supply chain. 


                                       7


<PAGE>   8


      With respect to its internal information systems, the Company has
converted its financial and business operations systems to software that is Year
2000 compliant. Other non-information technology based systems and equipment do
not appear to have Year 2000 issues. The Company does not believe that the Year
2000 issues will have a material impact on the business.
