Note 1 - Interim results:

In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly, its financial position as of
June 30, 1998 and the results of its operations and cash flows for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997. Interim results may not be indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year.


Note 2 - Earnings (loss) per Common share:

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per
share is calculated by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect, if any, of stock options
which have been issued by the Company. The weighted average number of shares
outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1997, have been
restated to reflect a 10% stock dividend distributed on May 15, 1998.


Note 3 - Consolidated condensed statements of shareholders' equity:

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Forward-looking statements, within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, are made throughout this Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For this purpose, any
statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be
deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the
words "believes," "anticipates," "plans," "expects," "seeks," "estimates," and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. There
are a number of important factors that could cause the results of the Company to
differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements.

The following is Management's discussion and analysis of significant factors
that have affected the Company's operating results and financial condition
during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1998.


                              Results of Operations
                              ---------------------

Quarter Ended June 30, 1998 vs. Quarter Ended June 30, 1997.

For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, net sales were $10,076,000 compared with
net sales of $11,517,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997, a decrease of
12.5%. The net loss for the 1998 quarter of $634,000 or $.14 per diluted share
compares with net income of $26,000 or $.01 per diluted share for the second
quarter of 1997.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, shipments of custom bioprocess systems,
due to their timing and nature, were significantly lower than in the comparable
1997 quarter and there has also been a decrease in export sales, particularly to
Asia due to the adverse financial situation in that part of the world.

Sales to Asia which amounted to approximately 12% for the second quarter of 1997
amounted to approximately 5% for the second quarter of 1998.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to normal annual
increases and as the result of an effort to strengthen the Company's sales and
service capabilities.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales decreased to 60.9% for the quarter
ended June 30, 1998 from 61.6% for the comparable 1997 quarter due to the lower
shipments of custom bioprocess systems and lower export sales during the 1998
quarter since both carry lower profit margins than core products sold
domestically.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $1,188,000 in the
1998 quarter from $1,088,000 in the second quarter of 1997 due primarily to the
strengthening of the Company's bioprocess engineering division as well as its
new product development efforts and included $556,000 and $516,000,
respectively, for the quarters ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 related to costs to
support the research efforts of DGI BioTechnologies, the Company's drug lead
discovery operation.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 vs. Six Months Ended June 30, 1997
- -----------------------------------------------------------------

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net sales were $21,026,000 compared with
net sales of $21,612,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1997. The net loss
for the 1998 period of

Page 8
<PAGE>


$943,000 or $.20 per diluted share compares with a net loss of $302,000 or $.07
per diluted share for the six months ended June 30, 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due to normal annual
increases and as the result of an effort to strengthen the Company's sales and
service capabilities.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $2,340,000 in the
1998 period from $2,089,000 in the first six months of 1997 due primarily to the
strengthening of the Company's bioprocess engineering division as well as its
new product development efforts and included $1,037,000 and $974,000,
respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 related to costs
to support the research efforts of DGI BioTechnologies, the Company's drug lead
discovery operation.


                               Financial Condition
                               -------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased
to $3,231,000 from $3,968,000 at December 31, 1997. The decrease in cash
resulted primarily from the net loss for the period of $943,000, an increase in
inventories of $1,746,000, and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $416,000, partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable of
$2,458,000.

Work-in-process inventories increased to $3,480,000 at June 30, 1998 from
$2,668,000 at December 31, 1997, primarily as a result of contracts for custom
bioprocess systems which will be delivered during the third and fourth quarters.
Finished goods inventories increased to $5,766,000 at June 30, 1998 from
$4,701,000 at December 31, 1997, as a result of less than anticipated sales
during the period.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
- ------------------------------------

During the period ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 net cash used by operating
activities amounted to $215,000 and $1,100,000, respectively. The primary
reasons for the $885,000 change between the two periods were a decrease in
accounts receivable of $2,530,000 in 1998 vs. a decrease of $1,816,000 in 1997,
an increase in inventories of $1,714,000 in 1998 vs. an increase of $2,244,000
in 1997, a decrease in advance payments from customers in 1998 of $120,000 vs. a
decrease of $334,000 in 1997 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses in 1998 of $295,000 vs. a decrease of $733,000 in 1997.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
- ------------------------------------

Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $673,000 in 1998 vs. $703,000
in 1997, primarily as a result of additions to property, plant and equipment
during 1998 and 1997 as well as from an investment in another entity in 1997.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
- ------------------------------------

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $145,000 in 1998 vs. cash
used of $14,000 in 1997. The 1998 amount includes $167,000 from the exercise of
stock options and $44,000 from the issue of shares under the Company's Employee
Stock Purchase Plan, partially offset by the repayment of long-term debt. The
1997 amount includes $8,000 from the exercise of stock options and $38,000 from
the issue of shares under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, partially
offset by repayment of long-term debt.

Management believes that the resources available to the Company, including its
line of credit are sufficient to meet its near and intermediate-term needs,
including funding commitments for DGI

BioTechnologies, and its strong unleveraged balance sheet and debt-free real
estate provide the basis for any long-term financing if the need should arise.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
- --------------------------------

In June 1997, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 131
"Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", was issued
to establish standards for public business enterprises reporting information
regarding operating segments in annual and interim financial statements issued
to shareholders. It also establishes standards for related disclosures about
products and services, geographic areas and major customers. This statement is
effective for financial statements for periods beginning after December 15,
1997. The Company has adopted SFAS 131 which does not require interim period
reporting in the year of adoption. The Company is completing its evaluation of
the disclosure requirements of SFAS 131 and will begin such disclosures in its
Form 10-K filing for the year ended December 31, 1998. This statement does not
have any effect on the results of operations or financial position of the
Company.

In June 1998, SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities", was issued to establish standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as
either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure
those instruments at fair value. This statement is effective for all quarters of
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company does not believe that
this statement will have a material impact on the financial statements.
