3. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE

On April 8, 1998, the Company entered into a letter of intent to sell certain 
assets, subject to the assumption of certain liabilities, to a third party. 
The completion of  the transaction is subject to numerous items, including 
but not limited to, the final identification of specific assets and 
liabilities to be transferred and the execution of a final written agreement. 
The proposed sales price is $1,300,000 which would result in an approximate 
gain of $300,000 to the Company. Once identified, the Company will make the 
appropriate disclosures regarding the specific assets held for sale including 
required pro forma financial information.

4. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During July and August, 1998, the Company's 76% owned subsidiary, AccuLase, 
Inc. issued $1,000,000 in 10% Convertible Promissory Notes. Interest is payable 
annually and may be paid in cash or in the

                                      6

Company's common stock at the Company's option. The entire principal is due 
in one payment on or before December 31, 1998. All outstanding balances under 
the Notes are guaranteed by the Company. The holders of the Notes may convert 
any or all balances outstanding into the Company's common stock at a 
conversion price of $2.00 per share at any time. All balances outstanding as 
of the maturity date of the Notes, if not paid, automatically convert into 
shares of the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per 
share.         

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased by $300,309 to 
$1,373,268 compared to $1,673,577. The decrease was due to a decrease in 
sales of scientific and medical lasers from the Company's Florida and 
Massachusetts operations offset by the final milestone payment in the amount 
of $600,000 pursuant to the Baxter Agreement which included the sale of two 
excimer lasers. Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1998 were 
$368,768 compared to $736,209 for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The 
decrease was due to a decrease in sales of scientific and medical lasers from 
the Company's Florida and Massachusetts operations.

Gross margins were 46% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to 35% 
for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The increase in gross margins was due 
primarily to the gross margin earned on the sale of two excimer lasers to 
Baxter. Gross margins were 12% for the three months ended June 30, 1998 
compared to 40% for the three months ended June 30, 1997. The decrease in 
gross margins was due to the increase in labor costs as a percentage of sales.

Operating expenses increased by $944,599 for the six months ended June 30, 
1998 compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 and by $309,646 for the 
three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 
1997. The increase was due to increases in consulting and professional fees, 
D & O insurance, marketing expenses and increased funding of research and 
development activities.

Interest expense decreased by $95,910 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 
compared to the six months ended June 30, 1997 and by $45,607 for the three 
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to the three months ended June 30, 1997 
primarily due to the purchase of a subsidiary's note payable through the 
issuance of common stock during the year ended December 31, 1997.

Net loss increased to $1,590,865 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared
to $928,092 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $1,021,068 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $552,654 for the three months ended June
30, 1997. The increase in the net loss was due to the increases in operating
expenses and decreases in revenues.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $425,530 
which is a decrease of $800,402 since December 31, 1997. The Company has 
utilized cash generated from the sale of common stock and from the Baxter 
agreement during 1997 to fund marketing activities, increased research and 
development activities, investments in inventory to support anticipated sales 
of excimer lasers to Baxter and to pay off certain liabilities.

Capital expenditures in the six months ended June 30, 1998 of $100,508 related
to purchases of equipment and the construction of a laser to be used as a
demonstration model.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the three months ended June 30, 1998
of $60,288 was due to principal payments on debt offset by proceeds from the
issuance of common stock.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

During July and August, 1998, the Company's 76% owned subsidiary, AccuLase, 
Inc. issued $1,000,000 in 10% Convertible Promissory Notes. Interest is 
payable annually and may be paid in cash or in the Company's common stock at 
the Company's option. The entire principal is due in one payment on or before 
December 31, 1998. All outstanding balances under the Notes are guaranteed by 
the Company. The holders of the Notes may convert any or all balances 
outstanding into the Company's common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 
per share at any time. All balances outstanding as of the maturity date of 
the Notes, if not paid, automatically convert into shares of the Company's 
common stock at a conversion price of $2.00 per share.

YEAR 2000

The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer programs being written using 
two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the 
Company's, or its suppliers' and customers' computer programs that have 
date-sensitive software may recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 
rather than the year 2000. This could result in system failures or 
miscalculations causing disruptions of operations including, among other 
things, a temporary inability to process transactions, send invoices, or 
engage in similar normal business activities.

The Company has developed plans to address issues related to the impact on 
its computer systems of the year 2000. Financial and operational systems have 
been assessed and plans have been developed to address systems modification 
requirements. The financial impact of making the required systems changes is 
not expected to be material to the Company's consolidated financial position, 
liquidity or results of operations.

Neither the Company nor its subsidiaries has initiated formal communications 
with significant suppliers and large customers to determine the extent to 
which those third parties' failure to remedy their own Year 2000 Issues would 
materially effect the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has not 
received any indications from its suppliers and large customers that the Year 
2000 Issue may materially effect their ability to conduct business and the 
Company has no current plans to formally undertake such an assessment.
