          2.   Long-term debt (Continued)

               On June 10, 1994, the Company commenced an Exchange Offer
          for up to 60% of its Swiss denominated 8% Bonds due March 1,
          1995, 6% Convertible Bonds due March 7, 1995, 5 % Convertible
          Bonds due May 9, 1995, 5 % Convertible Bonds due March 18, 1996
          and 7% Dual Currency Bonds due March 18, 1996, ("the Bonds"). 
          The Company offered for exchange its Common Stock with a value of
          $1,000 for each $1,000 principal amount of the Bonds.  In
          addition, the Company offered for exchange its Common Stock with
          a value of SFr. 1,000 for each SFr. 1,000 principal amount of the
          Bonds.  Accrued interest on the Bonds accepted for exchange by
          the Company was paid in Common Stock of the Company.  The purpose
          of the Exchange Offer is to reduce the Company's long-term
          indebtedness and related interest expense.

               In July, as a result of the Exchange Offer, the Company
          received an aggregate of SFr. 2,569,000 principal amount of its
          Swiss denominated bonds and $1,377,000 of its 7% Dual Currency
          Convertible Bonds.  In addition, the Company completed two
          private transactions for SFr. 6,515,000 principal amount of its
          Swiss denominated bonds and $45,000 of its 7% Dual Currency
          Convertible Bonds.

               As a result of the above transactions, the Company issued
          approximately 3,222,000 shares of its common stock, reduced its
          long-term debt by approximately $8,100,000, increased
          shareholders' equity by approximately $9,100,000 and will reduce
          its interest expense by approximately $750,000 on an annual
          basis.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1994, the Company
          realized an extraordinary gain on the early extinguishment of
          debt, net of taxes, of $35,000.

          3.   General Physics Corporation

               On August 31, 1994, General Physics Corporation, a formerly
          28% owned subsidiary, (GP) acquired substantially all of the
          operations and assets of SGLG, Inc. (SGLG) (formerly GPS
          Technologies, Inc.), a 92% owned subsidiary, and assumed certain
          liabilities of SGLG, related to its business of providing
          management and technical training services, and specialized
          engineering consulting services, to various commercial industries
          and to the United States government.  However, for accounting and
          financial reporting purposes, the transaction will be treated as
          a reverse acquisition of GP by SGLG since, among other factors,
          the Company became the beneficial owner of approximately 54% of
          the outstanding shares of GP's common stock as a result of the
          transaction.  The assets acquired by GP also included all of the
          outstanding common stock of four wholly-owned subsidiaries of
          SGLG: GPS Technologies, Inc. Federal Systems Group ("GPSTFSG"),
          which provides technical services to the U.S. Department of the
          Navy and other federal government agencies; GP Environmental
          Services, Inc. (GPES), which provides environmental laboratory 
          analytical services; and General Physics Asia Pte. Ltd., located
          in Singapore, and General Physics (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd., located
          in Malaysia, which provide operations support, engineering and
          technical services to power and process industries in Southeast
          Asia.

               The consideration paid by GP totalled approximately
          $36,000,000 and consisted of (a) $10,000,000 in cash, (b)
          3,500,000 shares of GP common stock, (c) GP's 6% Senior
          Subordinated Debentures due 2004 in the aggregate principal
          amount of $15,000,000 ($1,500,000 of which was paid into escrow),
          (valued at $10,700,000 after a $4,300,000 discount), (d) warrants
          to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of GP common stock
          at $6.00 per share, and (e) warrants to purchase an aggregate of
          475,664 shares of GP common stock at $7.00 per share.  In
          addition, GP entered into a lease with SGLG of certain fixed
          assets of SGLG for a period of 10 years for an aggregate rent of
          $2,000,000, payable in equal quarterly installments of $50,000.

          3.   General Physics Corporation (Continued)


               The cash portion of the purchase price for the SGLG
          operations and assets was derived from funds borrowed by GP under
          a $20,000,000 revolving credit facility secured by liens on the
          assets of GPC, GPSTFSG, GPES and Inventory Management
          Corporation, all wholly-owned subsidiaries of GPC.  The revolving
          credit facility was established with a bank on August 31, 1994,
          and permits GPC to borrow funds at a rate of interest equal to
          the bank's prime rate or LIBOR, plus 2.5% as determined by GP.

               Prior to the transaction, the Company directly and
          indirectly owned approximately 28% of the outstanding common
          stock of GP, and approximately 92% of the outstanding common
          stock of SGLG.  As a result of the transaction, the Company
          directly or indirectly owns approximately 54% of the outstanding
          common stock of GP.  The Company did not recognize a gain or loss
          on this transaction.

               The following information shows on a pro-forma basis, the
          results of operations as if the above transactions had occurred

          4.   Adoption of new Accounting Principle - Accounting for
               Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities

               In 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
          Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
          in Debt and Equity Securities: ("SFAS No. 115").  The Company's
          marketable securities consist of corporate equity securities. 
          Under SFAS No. 115, the Company classifies these equity
          securities as available-for-sale and records the securities at
          their fair value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on
          available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are
          reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity until
          realized.

               A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale
          security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is
          charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost
          basis for the security.

               Realized gains and losses for securities classified as
          available-for-sale are included in earnings and are derived using
          the specific identification method for determining the cost of
          securities sold.

               Marketable investment securities at December 31, 1993
          consist of common stocks.  Equity securities at that date are
          stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.

               The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding losses and fair
          value for available-for-sale securities at September 30, 1994,
          were as follows:

                                                   Gross
                                Amortized        Unrealized     
                                  Cost         Holding Losses      Fair Value

          Available-for-sale:
          Equity Securities    $3,117,000        $(983,000)        $2,134,000

             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

             The Company incurred a loss before income taxes and
          extraordinary item of $2,276,000 and $6,961,000 for the quarter
          and nine months ended September 30, 1994, as compared with a loss
          of $1,160,000 and $6,007,000 for the corresponding periods of
          1993.  The increase in the Company's loss before income taxes and
          extraordinary item is due to several factors.  Included in
          investment and other income, net for the quarter and nine months
          ended September 30, 1994, is $351,000 and $2,363,000,
          respectively, of foreign currency transaction losses compared to
          losses of $1,442,000 and $61,000 for the corresponding periods of
          1993.  The reduced currency loss for the third quarter has been
          offset by increased losses incurred by Interferon Sciences, Inc.
          (ISI), the Company's approximately 36% owned affiliate.  In
          addition, as a result of an Exchange Offer in July 1993 for a
          significant portion of its Swiss Denominated Debt, the Company
          realized a gain of $3,795,000 from the issuance of a portion of
          the Company's holdings of shares of common stock of ISI and GTS
          Duratek, Inc. (Duratek) during the third quarter of 1993, due to
          such shares being included as part of the consideration for the
          Exchange Offer.  For the quarter and nine months ended September
          30, 1994, the effect of the gain realized in 1993 was partially
          offset by reduced interest expense at the corporate level, as a
          result of reduced long-term debt, as well as increased operating
          profits achieved by the Optical Plastics and Physical Science
          Groups.  At September 30, 1994, there was an aggregate of SFr.
          16,672,000 of Swiss denominated indebtedness outstanding, of
          which SFr. 14,630,000 represents principal amount outstanding and
          SFr. 2,042,000 represents interest accrued thereon.  At September
          30, 1994, the Company had not hedged its Swiss Franc obligations. 
          If the value of the Swiss Franc to the U.S. dollar increases, the
          Company will recognize transaction losses on its Swiss Franc
          obligations.  On September 30, 1994, the value of the Swiss Franc
          to the U.S. dollar was approximately 1.2882 to 1.  There can be
          no assurance that the Company will be able to swap or hedge
          obligations denominated in foreign currencies at prices
          acceptable to the Company or at all.  The Company will continue
          to review this policy on a continuing basis.

          Sales

             For the quarter ended September 30, 1994, consolidated sales
          increased by $5,090,000 to $52,340,000 from the $47,250,000
          recorded in the corresponding quarter of 1993.  For the nine
          months ended September 30, 1994, consolidated sales increased by

                                          11




          $2,435,000 to $149,763,000 from $147,328,000 recorded for the
          nine months ended September 30, 1993.  The increased sales for
          the 1994 periods were primarily the result of increased sales
          within the Optical Plastics, Physical Science and the
          Distribution Groups, partially offset by reduced sales within the
          Electronics Group.  The increased sales within the Physical
          Science Group were the result of the inclusion of General Physics
          Corporation (GP) in the consolidated results of the Company as of
          September 1, 1994 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed
          Financial Statements), offset by the end of a long-term staff
          augmentation contract at Duratek, which in turn was partially
          offset by increased Environmental Services revenues at Duratek,
          as well as the sale by SGLG, Inc. (SGLG), formerly GPS
          Technologies, Inc., of its interest in General Physics
          International Engineering and Simulation, Inc. (GPI) to a new
          joint venture in which GPS has a minority position, in 1994.  For
          the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993, GPI had
          sales of $2,425,000 and $5,833,000, respectively.

          Gross margin

             Consolidated gross margin of $8,008,000, or 15%, for the
          quarter ended September 30, 1994 increased by $407,000 when
          compared to the consolidated gross margin of $7,601,000, or 16%,
          for the quarter ended September 30, 1993.  For the nine months
          ended September 30, 1994, consolidated gross margin of
          $25,754,000 or 17% of consolidated sales increased by $3,000,000
          when compared to $22,754,000 or 15% of consolidated sales earned
          in the nine months ended September 30, 1993.  The increased gross
          margin for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 1994,
          was primarily the result of increased sales and gross margin
          percentage achieved by the Optical Plastics Group, as well
          increased gross margin achieved by the Physical Science Group due
          to the higher gross margin generated by Duratek's Environmental
          Services business, a more profitable mix of services generated by
          SGLG, and the gross margin earned by GP in September 1994.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses

             For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994,
          selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) of $8,654,000
          and $26,021,000 were $388,000 and $1,216,000 lower than the
          $9,042,000 and $27,237,000 of SG&A expenses incurred during the
          quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1993.  The decrease
          in SG&A for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 was due to
          ISI being accounted for on the equity basis since the third
          quarter of 1993 and reduced costs incurred at the corporate
          level, partially offset by increased costs incurred by the
          Distribution Group.




                                          12



          Research and development

             Research and development costs of $124,000 and $349,000 for
          the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994, were
          reduced significantly when compared to costs of $223,000 and
          $2,539,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
          1993, as a result of ISI being accounted for on the equity basis
          since June 1993.

          Interest expense

             For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1994,
          interest expense was $1,453,000 and $4,407,000, compared to
          $2,173,000 and $7,133,000 for the third quarter and nine months
          ended September 30, 1993.  The decreased interest expense for the
          periods was the result of reduced long-term debt.

          Investment and other income, net

             Investment and other income, net of $(139,000) and
          $(2,149,000) for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
          1994, increased by $1,024,000 and decreased by $4,454,000,
          respectively, as compared to $(1,163,000) and $2,305,000 for the
          corresponding periods of 1993.  The change was principally due to
          the following factors; $(351,000) and $(2,363,000) of foreign
          currency transaction losses recognized  during the quarter and
          nine months ended September 30, 1994, compared to losses of
          $(1,442,000) and $(61,000) for the corresponding periods of 1993. 
          In addition, for the quarter and nine months ended September 30,
          1994, the Company realized losses of $1,400,000 and $3,404,000,
          compared to $778,000 and $427,000 earned for the quarter and nine
          months ended September 30, 1993, respectively, relating to income
          of 20% to 50% owned subsidiaries, primarily as a result of ISI
          being accounted for on the equity basis since the third quarter
          of 1993.

          Adoption of new accounting principle - Accounting for certain
          investments in debt and equity securities

             In 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
          Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt
          and Equity Securities" (see Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated
          Condensed Financial Statements).  There was no material effect on
          the Company's financial condition or results of operations as a
          result of the adoption of this principle.

                           LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


             The Company believes that it has sufficient cash, cash
          equivalents and borrowing availability under existing and
          potential lines of credit to satisfy its cash requirements until
          the first scheduled maturity of its Swiss Franc denominated
          indebtedness on March 1, 1995.  However, in order for the Company
          to meet its cash needs thereafter, which include the repayment of
          approximately $9,614,000 of Swiss Franc denominated indebtedness
          scheduled to mature in 1995 and approximately $4,110,000 of Swiss
          Franc denominated indebtedness which is scheduled to mature in
          1996, the Company must obtain additional funds from among various
          sources.  The Company has historically reduced its long-term debt
          through the issuance of equity securities in exchange for long-
          term debt.  In addition to its ability to issue equity
          securities, the Company believes that it has sufficient
          marketable long-term investments, as well as the ability to
          obtain additional funds from its operating subsidiaries and the
          potential to enter into new credit arrangements.  The Company
          reasonably believes that it will be able to continue to
          accomplish some or all of the above transactions in order to fund
          the scheduled repayment of the Company's long-term Swiss debt in
          1995. 

             At September 30, 1994, the Company had cash and, cash
          equivalents totaling $13,689,000.  GP, SGLG, American Drug
          Company and Duratek had cash and, cash equivalents of $560,000 at
          September 30, 1994.  The minority interests of these four
          companies are owned by the general public, and therefore the
          assets of these subsidiaries have been dedicated to the
          operations of these companies and may not be readily available
          for the general corporate purpose of the parent.

                                  September 30, 1994



             The financial information included herein is unaudited.  In
          addition, the financial information does not include all
          disclosures required under generally accepted accounting
          principles because certain note information included in the
          Company's Annual Report has been omitted; however, such
          information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
          recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management,
          necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim
          periods.  The results for the 1994 interim period are not
          necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire
          year.

                             PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION



          Item 5.

                 The following information is provided in response to Item
          7 in the Form 8-K filed on September 14, 1994.

                 a. Financial statements of business acquired:
                    The consolidated balance sheets of General Physics
                    Corporation (GP) and subsidiaries as of December 31,
                    1993 and 1992, and the related statements of
                    operations, changes in stockholders equity and cash
                    flows for each of the years in the three-year period
                    ended December 31, 1993, and the related notes to the
                    consolidated financial statements, included in GP's
                    Form 10-K dated March 29, 1994, are hereby incorporated
                    by reference.

                 b. Pro forma financial information:
                    The following unaudited pro forma combined statements
                    of operations have been prepared based upon the
                    historical statements of operations of the Company and
                    GP and give effect to the Transaction as if it had
                    occurred on January 1, 1993 and January 1, 1994.  The
                    transaction has been accounted for using the purchase
                    method.  The Company owns approximately 54% of the
                    outstanding shares of GP after the Transaction.  The
                    pro forma financial statements are not necessarily
                    indicative of the actual financial position or results
                    of operations that would have been achieved if the
                    transactions had occurred as of or for the period
                    indicated, or of future results that may be achieved.
