3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

assets, subject to the assumption of certain liabilities, to a third party.

not limited to, the final identification of specific assets and liabilities

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by $162,132 to 
$1,099,500 compared to $937,368 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. 
The increase was due to the final milestone payment pursuant to the Baxter 
Agreement which included the sale of two excimer lasers, offset by decreases 
in sales from the operations of the Company's Florida and Massachusetts 
operations.

Gross margin increased by $344,613 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997 due primarily to the gross 
margin earned on the sale of the two excimer lasers to Baxter.

Operating expenses increased by $634,953 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 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 $50,303 for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 compared to the three months ended March 31, 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 by $194,358 to $569,797 for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 compared to $375,439 for the three months ended March 31, 1997. The 
increase in the net loss was due to the increase in operating expenses offset 
by increases in revenues and gross margin.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of March 31, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $814,647 
which is a decrease of $411,285 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 three months ended March 31, 1998 of $68,216 
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 March 31, 
1998 of $38,378 was due to principal payments on debt offset by proceeds from 
the issuance of common stock.
