                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)



NOTE 1--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The information for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 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
1995 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, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1996.

Net income per share has been computed using the weighted-average number of
common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each period.
Common share equivalents represent the dilutive effect of outstanding stock
options.

Inventories by major categories are summarized as follows:

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Record sales of $43.4 million were achieved in the second quarter of 1996, a
13% increase over the second quarter 1995. Sales for the six months were a
record $86.6 million, an 11% increase over 1995. 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 strengthening,
the effect of translation of the financial statements of the consolidated
foreign affiliates is that of lower sales, costs and net income. The stronger
U.S. dollar in the second quarter 1996 when compared to the second quarter 1995
resulted in lowered reported sales of approximately 3% and lower reported net
income of 1%. The stronger U.S. dollar in the six months 1996 when compared to
the 1995 six-month period resulted in lower reported sales of approximately 2%
and lower reported net income of 1%.

Cost of sales as a percentage of sales was 42% in the 1996 second quarter and
six months as compared to 44% in the corresponding 1995 periods.  The 1996
results continue the improvement trend set in the 1995 fourth quarter
principally resulting from increased utilization at the Wales manufacturing
facility and at the New Jersey IMMULITE instrument manufacturing facility.

Selling costs as a percent of sales were 20% in the 1996 second quarter and 19%
in the 1996 six-month period compared to 18% and 17% in the corresponding 1995
periods. These increased costs are a result of the continual expansion of the
marketing and sales effort, especially for the IMMULITE system. Research and
development expenses increased 10% in 1996 second quarter over 1995. In the
1996 six-month period, the expenses increased 12% over 1995. These expenditures
have increased to support the IMMULITE system. In the 1996 and 1995 second
quarters and six-month periods, the research and development costs as a
percentage of sales were 10%.

General and administrative costs were 9% of sales in the 1996 second quarter
compared to 8% in the 1995 quarter. In the 1996 six-month period, the general
and administrative costs were 10% compared to 9% in the 1995 period. Included
in general and administrative expenses is the amortization of the excess of
cost over net assets acquired and minority interest.

Equity in income of affiliates, which increased 21% in the 1996 second quarter
compared to the 1995 quarter and increased 31% in the 1996 six-month period
over the 1995 period, represents the Company's share of earnings of
nonconsolidated affiliates, principally the 45%-owned Italian affiliate.
Profitability in Italy which in prior quarters had declined was modestly higher
in the 1996 second quarter and six months when compared to 1995. The other
affiliates reported increases in their second quarter and six months net
income.

The Company's effective tax rate includes Federal, state and foreign taxes. The
1996 rate of 27% approximates the 1995 rate of 26%.

The Company has adequate working capital and sources of capital (including an
unused $10 million unsecured line of credit) to carry on its current business
and to meet its existing capital requirements. Cash flow used for operating
activities was $2.9 million in the 1996 six months as compared to cash flow
from operating activities of $7.4 million in the 1995 period. Cash flow in the
1996 period was primarily used for increases in accounts receivables and
inventories and reduction of accounts payable.

During  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.
