Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
            Results of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales for the first quarter ended October 31, 1995 increased 13% to 
$27.3 million as compared to net sales of $24.2 million for the quarter 
ended October 31, 1994. The increase was due mainly to strong international 
sales led by medical device products. Foreign currency fluctuations 
represented less than 1 percent of the overall percentage increase.

Overall, sales to customers in Europe increased 27% due mainly to increases 
in medical device products used in intravenous therapy and OEM membrane. 
Sales to customers in Asia/Pacific increased 24% due to sales increases in 
process products used in high-technology filtration systems. Sales to 
customers in the Americas increased 8% over the same period of last fiscal 
year. Sales of microporous membrane, in the Americas, were level compared 
to last fiscal first quarter.

Worldwide sales by product lines, as compared to the first quarter of last 
fiscal year, in the laboratory market of our business increased 8%.  
Medical Device sales improved 22%.  Process filtration sales improved 16% 
and sales of microporous membrane improved 15%.

Gross margin for the quarter was 50.6% as compared to 50.3% for the prior 
year first quarter.  The gross margin improvement is attributed to 
international sales growth plus continued manufacturing efficiencies. 
Selling and administrative costs as a percentage of sales was 35% for the 
quarters ended October 31, 1995 and 1994.  Research and development costs 
also remained level as a percentage of sales at 5.5%. The effective tax 
rate for the first quarters ended October 31, 1995 and 1994 was 34% and 
35%, respectively. The increase in Other income - net is due mainly to 
gains on foreign currency transactions. Interest expense decreased $279,000 
due to the repayment of outstanding indebtedness in the third quarter of 
fiscal 1995.

Net earnings for the first quarter ended October 31, 1995 increased 56% to 
$1.9 million or $.24 per share, as compared with $1.2 million or $.19 per 
share.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company generated cash from operations of $1.8 million for the first 
quarter ended October 31, 1995 compared to $1.4 million for the quarter 
ended October 31, 1994.  The Company used the cash to fund capital 
expenditures of $1.6 million. Working capital at October 31, 1995 was $33.0 
million compared to $31.9 million at July 31,1995. The decrease in current 
liabilities was due to timing of payments on trade payables and the 
payment, during the quarter, of accrued liabilities at July 31, 1995. At 
October 31, 1995, the Company's unused portion of lines of credit under the 
revolving credit agreement was $15 million.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

The Company is involved in various legal actions in the normal course of 
business.  In addition, the Company is currently a party to various legal 
actions arising under statutes regulating the discharge of materials into 
the environment or otherwise protecting the environment.  These have been 
described in the Company's 1995 Annual Report and Item 1. Environmental 
Regulations and Item 3. Legal Proceedings of the Company's Form 10-K for 
the year ended July 31, 1995.  The following sets forth these environmental 
matters to the extent any material developments have occurred since the 
filing of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 1995.

Scarbrough, et al. v. Gelman Sciences Inc., et al. (Circuit Court for 
Washtenaw County, Michigan, Case No. 88-35594-CE).  By Complaint filed 
August 8, 1988, and amended September 15, 1988, 27 residents of the 
Westover subdivision located near the main facility of the Company sued the 
Company and 8 other defendants for damages associated with alleged 
contamination of residential water supplies and for the cost of court-
supervised medical surveillance.  The total demand was $3,095,000.  On 
March 9, 1990, plaintiffs settled with 7 of the 8 other defendants for 
$100,000.  (The suit against the remaining other defendant was subsequently 
dismissed by the Court.)  Thereafter, 15 plaintiffs settled with the 
Company for a total of $175,535.  Twelve plaintiffs refused to settle.  On 
November 30, 1990, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the 12 plaintiffs, 
awarding damages totalling $119,756.  After adjustment for the March 9, 
1990, settlement between plaintiffs and 7 other defendants, the net jury 
verdict against the Company was $62,250, plus interest.  On December 11, 
1991, the Court awarded the Company costs totalling $87,529.38, plus 
interest.  The 12 plaintiffs who went to trial appealed the outcome of the 
case.  On July 27, 1994, the Court of Appeals affirmed the jury verdict.  
On September 21, 1994, the Court of Appeals denied plaintiffs Motion for 
Rehearing.  Plaintiffs filed an Application for Leave to Appeal with the 
Michigan Supreme Court.  On June 30, 1995, the Supreme Court denied the 
Application.  Plaintiffs filed a Motion for Reconsideration, which was 
denied on October 31, 1995.

of the Company filed a Complaint against the Company, the Chairman of the
