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

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1996 were $5,588,954, an increase
of 63% over the corresponding period in fiscal 1995.  Sales to ABS Global, which
represents Alcide in North and South America and in several other key markets,
totaled $3,643,311 for the six month period, a 71% increase compared to the
first six months last year.  Sales to ABS Global represented 65% of total Alcide
sales for the first six months of fiscal 1996.  Sales to international
distributors were $1,633,435, a 55% increase over the same period last year.

Sales prospects for the immediate future are positive.  The Company enters its
third fiscal quarter with orders for future delivery of $2,735,992.  The backlog
relates primarily to the animal health product line with firm orders specifying
delivery between December 1, 1995 and March 31, 1996.

Cost of goods as a percentage of net sales increased slightly to 33.4% of sales
for the first half of fiscal 1996 vs. 32.7% of net sales for the first six
months of fiscal 1995.  The increase results primarily from the introduction of
UDDERgold Plus which carries a slightly lower percentage margin than UDDERgold,
the product it has replaced.

Operating expenses other than cost of goods decreased significantly to 37.2% of
net sales for the first half of fiscal 1996 vs. 44% of net sales for the first
half of fiscal 1995.

Research and development expenses increased to $675,729 this year vs. $356,749
for the first six months last year.  The increase was caused primarily by an
increase in the number of research personnel ($56,562); user fees paid to the
Food and Drug Administration to support the New Drug Application for the
Company's presurgical skin antiseptic ($81,000); and outside laboratory testing
charges primarily associated with vendor qualification and raw materials
specifications development to support international registration of the
Company's products ($142,952).

Royalty expenses increased proportionate to the net sales increase.  Of the
$427,669 FY 96 first half expense, $305,421 has been utilized to increase the
$352,800 reserve established in FY 95 for the purpose of defending the Company's
position in the event there is a legal dispute with royalty rights holders.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,024,364, an increase
of $131,750 vs. first half of FY 95.  The increase is due to a $94,414 increase
in advertising/marketing expenses consistent with the sales volume increase and
to normal inflationary increases.

LIQUIDITY

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short term investments and U.S. Treasury
Instruments totaled $4,684,490 on November 30, 1995, an amount $194,619 lower
than at the end of the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995.  The Company's net income
for the six month period on a cash flow basis was $1,694,187.  This was offset
by an $1,104,452 increase in working capital and a $772,713 investment in the
acquisition of Treasury Stock.  The working capital increase was caused by a
$559,957 increase in inventory, $350,000 of which was for mandelic acid to
support the Company's growing UDDERgold plus business.  Accounts receivable
increased $628,797 caused by a 30 day extension of selling terms to ABS Global.
ABS Global and all other major Alcide distributors are meeting their payment
obligations to Alcide within agreed to credit terms.

The Company's cash position remained strong relative to its anticipated needs.
Cash generated from operations is expected to be greater than operating cash
needs during the remainder of the present fiscal year.
