                                     (Unaudited)




          1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION
               ---------------------

               The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been
          prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
          principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, they
          do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
          generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
          statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
          (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary
          for a fair presentation have been included.  Operating results
          for the three and six month periods ended January 25, 1997 are
          not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
          for the year ending July 26, 1997.  For further information,
          refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included
          in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
          July 27, 1996.

          2.   CORPORATE FINANCING
               -------------------

               In October 1996, the Company completed a private placement
          (the "Placement") of 12 units (the "Units") at a price of $75,000
          per Unit or an aggregate Placement of $900,000.  Each Unit
          consisted of a $60,000 principal amount 14% Convertible
          Subordinated Debenture due October 31, 1999 (the "Debentures")
          and 4,000 shares of Common Stock, or an aggregate of $720,000
          principal amount of Debentures and 48,000 shares of Common Stock.

               The Debentures are convertible into Common Stock at $3.75
          per share upon or after the Debentures are called for redemption
          or the effectiveness of a registration statement under the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), covering the
          underlying shares of Common Stock, subject to customary anti-
          dilution provisions.  The Company may call all or part of the
          Debentures at par, plus accrued interest, at any time after
          October 31, 1997.  The Debentures contain various covenants upon
          the Company, including a restriction on the payment of cash
          dividends on its Common Stock.

               Simultaneously with the closing of the Placement, the
          Company received a Term Loan from its bank.  The bank had
          conditioned the closing of the Term Loan on the Company receiving
          at least $700,000 from the issuance of subordinated debentures
          and/or capital stock.  The Term Loan is repayable over five
          years, bears annual interest at prime plus 1/2%, and is
          guaranteed by the New Hampshire Business Finance Authority.  The
          bank also increased the Company's revolving line of credit to
          $400,000 from $300,000.  As of January 25, 1997 there was
          $300,000 outstanding under this revolving line of credit.  The
          Term Loan and the credit line are secured by a lien on the
          Company's assets.

               The net proceeds of the Placement and the Term Loan of
          approximately $1,200,000 will be used for general working capital
          purposes, including possible acquisitions and marketing.

          3.   REVERSE STOCK SPLIT
               -------------------

               At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders on October
          8, 1996, stockholders authorized the Board of Directors to effect
          a reverse stock split at a ratio to be determined by the Board
          and when the Board determined it was in the best interest of the
          Company and the stockholders.  In November 1996, the Company
          announced that its Board of Directors had approved a 1-for-5
          reverse stock split, to be effective November 8, 1996.  The
          reverse split reduced the number of shares outstanding to
          2,506,266.  All prior periods presented have been adjusted to
          reflect the above reverse stock split.

          Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF
          OPERATION

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
          ---------------------

          Net sales for the three and six month periods ended January 25,
          1997 were $523,000 and $1,063,000, respectively, compared to
          $843,000 and $1,507,000 for the three and six month periods ended
          January 27, 1996.  The decrease in sales was attributable to a 
          substantial decline in sales in Germany, which had constituted
          the Company's major international market, intially because of 
          temporary regulatory delays which have become less of a factor in
          the second quarter, and subsequently because of changes in the 
          reimbursement policy for the Company's products in Germany.

          Cost of sales for the three and six months ended January 25, 1997
          were 53.9% and 55.9% of net sales compared to 50.8% and 54.3% of
          net sales during the same periods in the prior year.  The
          increase in cost as a percentage of sales can be attributed to the
          product mix and unfavorable overhead variances as a result of 
          decreased manufacturing levels in response to the general 
          industry-wide slowdown.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and
          six month periods ended January 25, 1997 were $374,000 and
          $689,000, respectively, compared to $256,000 and 449,000 for the
          comparable prior year periods.  The increase reflects increased
          sales and promotional activity, corporate development, regulatory
          and communications expense.

          Net loss for the three and six month periods ended January 25,
          1997 were $234,000, or $.09 per share, and $394,000, or $.16 per
          share, respectively, compared to net income of $202,000, or $.08
          per share, and $224,000, or $.09 per share, for the same periods
          last year.  The decrease in net income is the result of decreased
          sales along with increases in expenditures for marketing efforts
          to promote and position the Company's new products, and the
          Company's corporate development, regulatory and communications
          efforts.

          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
          -------------------------------

          Working capital of the Company at January 25, 1997 was
          $1,517,000, compared to $906,000 at fiscal year ended July 27,
          1996.  The increase of $611,000 was primarily the result of net
          proceeds of the Company's private placement and Term Loan from
          its bank of approximately $1,200,000 offset by results of
          operations.

          Currently, the Company expects that available cash and its
          existing bank line of credit will be sufficient to meet its
          normal operating requirements, including research and development
          expenditures, over the near term.

          The Company is considering future growth through acquisitions of
          companies or business segments in related lines of business or
          other lines of business, as well as through expansion of the
          existing line of business.  There is no assurance that management
          will find suitable acquisition candidates or effect the financial
          arrangements which may be necessary for such acquisitions.
