               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 ended March 31, 1998.


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

Quarter Ended March 31, 1998 vs. Quarter Ended March 31, 1997.
- --------------------------------------------------------------

For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, net sales were $10,950,000 compared with
net sales of $10,095,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997, an increase of
8.5%. The net loss for the 1998 quarter of $309,000 or $.07 per diluted share
compared with a net loss of $328,000 or $.08 per diluted share for the first
quarter of 1997.

Research, development and engineering expenses increased to $1,152,000 in the
1998 quarter from $1,001,000 in the first quarter of 1997 due primarily to the
strengthening of the Company's bioprocess engineering division and its new
product development efforts and included $481,000 and $458,000, respectively,
for the quarters ended March 31, 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 quarter ended March 31, 1998, Cash and Cash Equivalents decreased to
$3,125,000 from $3,968,000 at December 31, 1997. The decrease in cash resulted
primarily from an increase in inventories of $215,000, an increase in prepaid
expenses and other current assets of $199,000 and a decrease in accounts payable
and accrued expenses of $1,067,000 partially offset by a decrease in accounts
receivable of $1,050,000.

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

During the period ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 net cash used by operating
activities amounted to $414,000 and $871,000, respectively. The primary reasons
for the $457,000 positive change between the two periods were a decrease in
accounts receivable of $1,099,000 in 1998 vs. a decrease of $1,348,000 in 1997,
an increase in inventories of $193,000 in 1998 vs. an increase of $1,362,000 in
1997 and a decrease in advance payments from customers in 1998 of $360,000 vs. a
decrease of $696,000 in 1997 partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable
and accrued expenses in 1998 of $684,000 vs. an increase of $146,000 in 1997.

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

Net cash used by investing activities amounted to $433,000 in 1998 vs. $448,000
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 $10,000 in 1998 vs.
$18,000 in 1997. The 1998 amount includes $49,000 from the exercise of stock
options partially offset by the repayment of long-term debt and the 1997 amount
includes $8,000 from the exercise of stock options and $35,000 related to the
discount from fair market value upon issuance of options under the Company's
stock option plan for nonemployee directors, 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.
