                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 has not been
audited by independent accountants, but includes all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
to a fair statement of the results for such periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been omitted pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures included in
these financial statements are adequate to make the information not misleading.

The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's
1994 annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

The results of operations for the six-month period ending June 30, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Net income per share - primary is based upon the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, including stock options when dilutive.  Net income
per share - fully diluted is based upon the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding and the assumed exercise of all dilutive stock options,
including the effect of contingent options.

Inventories by major categories are summarized as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales of $38.5 million were achieved in the second quarter 1995, a 28% increase
over the second quarter 1994. Sales for the six months were a record $77.8
million, a 34% increase over 1994. The sales increases are principally a result
of the continuing increased worldwide acceptance of the fully automated, random
access IMMULITE system. The system is expected to account for the greatest
amount of growth of all the Company's product lines for the foreseeable future.
In periods when the U.S. dollar is weakening, the effect of translation of the
financial statements of the consolidated foreign affiliates is that of higher
sales, costs and net income. The weaker U.S. dollar in the second quarter 1995
when compared to the second quarter 1994 resulted in increased sales of
approximately 7% and increased net income of approximately 3%. For the six
month period the weaker 1995 U.S. dollar resulted in increased sales of
approximately 7% and increased net income of approximately 4%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the 1995 second quarter and six
months was 44% compared to 44% and 43% in the corresponding 1994 periods. The
44% in 1995 was an improvement from the 46% reported in the fourth quarter 1994
principally resulting from increased utilization at the Wales manufacturing
facility and at the New Jersey IMMULITE instrument manufacturing facility.

Selling expenditures increased approximately 20% in the 1995 second quarter and
six months compared to 1994 representing 17% of sales in 1995 and 19% of sales
in 1994. These increased costs are a result of the continued expansion of the
marketing and sales effort, especially for the IMMULITE system.

Research and development expenditures increased 29% in the 1995 second quarter
and 23% in the 1995 six months over the corresponding periods of the prior
year. These expenditures have increased to support the IMMULITE system.

General and administrative costs were approximately 8% and 9% of sales in the
1995 periods compared to 11% of sales in the 1994 periods.  Included in general
and administrative expenses is the amortization of the excess of cost over net
assets acquired.

Equity in income of affiliates, which decreased 37% in the 1995 second quarter
and decreased 33% in the 1995 six months when compared to the 1994 periods,
represents the Company's share of earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates,
principally the 45%-owned Italian affiliate.  Profitability in Italy continued
to be adversely effected by reduced sales caused by the current serious
economic problems and reductions in health care cost reimbursements.

The Company's effective tax rate includes Federal, state and foreign taxes. The
1995 rate of 26% approximates the 1994 rate of 26%.

The Company has adequate working capital and sources of capital to carry on its
current business and to meet its existing capital requirements.  Cash flow from
operating activities was $7.4 million in 1995 compared to $5.6 million in 1994.

During 1994 and the first quarter of 1995, the Company paid a quarterly cash
dividend of $.10 per share. Commencing with the second quarter of 1995, the
quarterly dividend was increased to $.12 per share. In March 1994, the Company
repurchased 129,200 shares of its Common Stock in the open market at a cost of
$2,429,000.
