                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

NOTE 1 -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information for the nine months ended September 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 nine-month period ending September 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.

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

Record sales of $40.5 million were achieved in the third quarter 1995, a 32%
increase over the third quarter 1994. Sales for the nine months were a record
$118.3 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
third quarter 1995 when compared to the third quarter 1994 resulted in higher
reported sales of approximately 5% and higher reported net income of
approximately 3%. For the nine month period, the weaker 1995 U.S. dollar
resulted in higher reported sales of approximately 7% and higher reported net
income of approximately 4%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales in the 1995 third quarter and nine
months was 47% and 45% compared to 43% in the corresponding periods in 1994.
These increases are due to higher cost of sales percentages derived from the
manufacture and sale of instruments at lower margins.

Selling expenditures increased approximately 24% and 21% in the 1995 third
quarter and nine months compared to 1994 representing 17% of sales in 1995 and
18% 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 19% in the 1995 third quarter
and 22% in the1995 nine 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 third quarter and nine months compared to approximately 10% 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 43% in the 1995 third quarter
and decreased 35% in the 1995 nine 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 current serious economic
problems and reductions in health care cost reimbursements.

As of September 1, 1995, the Company acquired a 56% equity interest in DPC
Medlab Produtos Hospitalares Ltda., the Company's Brazilian distributor.

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 $7.7 million in 1995 nine months compared to $8.7
million in 1994 period.

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.
