ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER - MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED WITH MARCH 31, 1998
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements in Part I, Item 1. contained elsewhere in this document.
OVERVIEW
We are organized as a Delaware corporation to engage in the development,
manufacture, distribution, and sale of disinfectants, antiseptics, and
sterilants which are inherently non-toxic, posing no hazard to people who use
them, and which are environmentally friendly, decomposing into harmless,
naturally occurring organic molecules. To this end, the Company has developed
and patented a hard surface disinfectant, VIRAHOL(R), which has been registered
with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and an antiseptic hand gel
sanitizer, made in accordance with the applicable FDA Monograph. The Corporation
has incurred losses since its incorporation. At March 31, 1999, the Corporation
had an accumulated deficit of $27,939,314. The Corporation has financed its
ongoing research program and business activities through a combination of sales,
equity financing, and debt.
RESULT OF OPERATIONS
First Quarter - March 31, 1999 Compared with March 31, 1998
Consolidated gross revenues for first quarter 1999 decreased by $47,872 or 13.6%
to $304,907 compared with $352,779 in first quarter 1998.
- - Gross revenue from product sales decreased for first quarter 1999 by
$268,988 or 77% to $80,255 compared with $349,243 in first quarter 1998.
The decrease in sales revenue was primarily due to one major network
marketing customer refocusing their marketing efforts to another type of
product. A second factor contributing to the sales decline was the startup
time required for a new dental master distributor to create marketing
literature and orient their distribution channel.
- - Gross revenue from operations/production services (OPS) for first quarter
1999 was $171,000. OPS revenue is a new source of revenue for the Company
during first quarter 1999 and is expected to continue at various levels
throughout 1999. OPS revenue represents quality assurance, research and
development, purchasing fees and freight-handling fees provided to our
contract-fill company, which manufactures Veridien's products.
- - Gross rental income for first quarter 1999 increased by 600% to $26,250
compared with $3,750 in first quarter 1998. A portion of the company's
leased 38,000 square foot
7
<PAGE> 8
manufacturing facility is subleased to a contract filler that
manufactures Veridien's products. They relocated to our facility in
August 1998. This space is leased for a two-year period, which will
generate approximately $100,000 per annum.
- - Gross miscellaneous income for first quarter 1999 increased by $27,355 to
$26,032 compared to $(1,323) in first quarter 1998. Virtually all the
increase is due to a one-time recognition of gain on the finalization of
previous year accrued expenses.
- - Interest income for first quarter 1999 increased by $261 or 23.5% to
$1,370 compared with $1,109 in first quarter 1998.
Consolidated gross expenses for first quarter 1999 decreased by $75,507 or 10.3%
to $654,770 compared with $730,277 in first quarter 1998.
- - The cost of goods sold for first quarter 1999 decreased by 56.7% to
$76,940 compared with $177,934 in first quarter 1998. The increase in the
cost of goods ratio as a percentage of sales was 96% in first quarter
1999 compared to 51% in first quarter 1998. The increase in the cost of
sales resulted primarily from the increased overhead to the contract fill
operator fulfilling production within the plant facility and the
continuing costs of fixed overhead applied to lower sales volume.
- - General, selling, and administrative expenses for first quarter 1999
increased by 21.2% to $459,494 compared with $379,084 in first quarter
1998. The increases that affected general and administrative costs were
associated with professional consulting and accounting fees for first
quarter 1999 that increased by 343% to $195,742 compared with $44,163 in
first quarter 1998. The increase in professional fees during first
quarter 1999 resulted from the early completion of the consolidated
audited financials for fiscal year ended 1998, and additional consulting
services for public relations and public reporting company expenses.
During first quarter 1999, sales expense decreased by 65% to $38,488
compared with $110,881 in first quarter 1998. This decrease was due to
the discontinuance of a sales consulting contract with a promotional
organization.
- - Research and development for first quarter 1999 increased $12,354 or
28.4% to $55,818 compared with $43,464 in first quarter 1998. The
increase can be contributed primarily to increased activity associated
with the continuing development of Sterihol-Plus, a cold chemical
sterilant. Additionally, the cost of continuing patent applications has
increased.
- - Interest expense for first quarter 1999 decreased by 51.8% to $62,518
compared with $129,795 in first quarter 1998. The decrease in interest
expense was due primarily to the conversion of various debts and accrued
interest to equity.
- - Operating losses decreased to $349,863 first quarter 1999 from $377,498
in first quarter 1998. This represented a 7.3% decrease in operating
losses.

</TABLE>
Liquidity and Working Capital
Historically, our principal source of financing for our research and development
and business activities has been through sales, equity offerings, and debt. As
of March 31, 1999, and March 31, 1998, we had working capital deficits of
approximately $1,894,010 and $3,697,827, respectively. Our independent certified
public accountants stated in their report on the 1998 consolidated financial
statements that due to losses from operations and a working capital deficit,
there is substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. We are addressing the going concern issue in virtually every aspect of
our operation. We have cut operating expenses and have signed two major
distribution agreements, which we expect will provide improved profit margins
beginning in third quarter of 1999. Because of our significant losses incurred
since inception, we have become substantially dependent on loans from officers,
directors, and third parties, and from private placements of our securities to
fund operations. These financings and equity placements are included in the
following descriptions.
- - During first quarter 1999, we received proceeds from the sale of preferred
and common stock in the amount of $674,878.
- - During first quarter 1999, $93,000 of debt was converted into 1,162,500
shares of common stock at the conversion rate of $.08 per share.
- - During first quarter 1999, $261,717 of Principal Convertible Debentures and
$32,033 of accrued interest was converted into 1,958,334 shares of common
stock at the conversion rate of $.15. The convertible debentures maturing
on December 31, 1998, were extended to June 30, 2000, and in consideration
for the extension, the rate was reduced to the lower of the
9
<PAGE> 10
existing conversion rate or $.15 to August 31, 1999, thereafter reverting
to the original conversion price which ranges from $.1851 to $.3868 per
share.
- - During the quarter ended March 31, 1999, accounts receivable increased
$151,699 primarily due to increased obligations of our contract fill
manufacturer for services provided by our company. Additionally,
approximately 25% of the increase is due to one customer's delinquent
account.
- - During the first quarter 1999, inventory increased 55.9% to $144,331
compared with $92,549 at December 31, 1998. The increase resulted primarily
from stocking inventory in anticipation of increased sales in 1999.
- - We plan to utilize our current debt financing arrangements and pursue
additional equity and debt financing while managing cash flow in an effort
to provide funds to increase revenues to support operation, research and
development activities. We believe that our long-term success depends on
revenues from operations from product sales and ongoing royalties from
technologies. If such sources of funds are not adequate, we may seek to
obtain financing to meet operating and research expenses from other sources
including, but not limited to, future equity or debt financings.
- - As of April 1999, we have cash of approximately $129,000 and during May and
June we expect cash flow of $150,000 from operating activities and private
placements. This level of liquidity is sufficient to operate the Company
for 60 days. During the quarter we created new sales planning methodology
and increased our professional sales staff. The Company anticipates
increasing sales to begin in the third quarter of 1999, reduced operating
expenses, and additional private placement funding will contribute to
continuous operations of the Company.
Year 2000 Compliance
We have formulated a Year 2000 conversion plan. We are utilizing both internal
and external resources to identify, correct or reprogram, and test the computer
system for the Year 2000 compliance. We are upgrading our computer system and
monitoring the adequacy of the processes and progress of third-party computer
vendors of systems that may be affected by the Year 2000 issue. We are dependent
on third-party computer systems consultants and applications, particularly with
respect to such critical tasks as accounting. While we believe our procedures
are designed to be successful, because of the complexity of the Year 2000 issue
and the interdependence or organizations using computer systems, our efforts, or
those of third parties with whom we interact, may not be satisfactorily
completed in a timely fashion. If we fail to satisfactorily address the Year
2000 issue, then our business, results of operations and financial condition
could be materially adversely affected.

OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES
On October 5, 1998, Dunvegan Mortgage Corporation sold its interest under the
Loan and Security Agreement. At that time, for the period from June 30, 1997 to
October 5, 1998 the Company owed Dunvegan $286,644 in interest, the payment of
which both parties agreed to defer. On January 28, 1999 the Company's Board of
Directors approved an agreed conversion of a majority of such interest into
Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price of $.14 per share, based on
the then current market price. Issuance of such shares is currently being made,
in the second quarter.
