Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
        Condition and Results of Operations
__________________________________________________________
During  the first six months of fiscal year 1996, current
assets decreased
by $125,337 to $364,739, which was due to the loss for the
period of
$948,031.


     Operations
     __________
 Comparison of the six-month periods ended December 31, 1995
 and December 31, 1994

     Net sales decreased for the period by 26% from the
prior corresponding
     period  and  relate to snack items.  Cost of sales is
down  for  the
     period, reflective of the lower sales.  Research and
development costs
     are down $103,700 from the corresponding 1994 period.

     The  net  loss for the six months increased $1,112,125
from the  prior
     year, due to a loss in licensing income.

     The  Company continues to seek industry partners, both
U.S. and
     international, for  licensing  agreements for the
Company's research
     products. In addition, the Company continues to seek
opportunities to
     perform  research  with  respect to drug formulations
on a contract
     basis.


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The  Company in the past was dependent upon Birklea,
Ltd., an Irish
     corporation, and other outside sources to provide
equity and/or debt
     financing to the Company to fund its research and
development  and
     other  administrative  costs.   To some extent,  this
dependency  was
     reduced   due  to  the  $1,200,000  licensing/option
agreement   with
     Burroughs Wellcome in fiscal 1995.  In December 1995
Wellcome informed
     the Company that it was not going to exercise its
option on Aztec and
     thus no further funding from this source is currently
expected.  It is
     estimated  that  an additional $165,000 during the next
three  months
     will  be  required  to complete the Phase III Aztec
clinical  trials.
     The  Company  is  currently  seeking  funding  from
outside  sources,
     including licensing arrangements.  There is no
assurance such  funding
     will  be  available, or if available, on terms
favorable or acceptable
     to the Company.  During October 1995 the Company sold
52,800 shares of
     common  stock for a total of $369,600 pursuant to
Regulation  S  under
     the  Securities  Act of 1993 to three non-residents of
the  U.S.   In
     February 1996, the Company sold 36,364 shares pursuant
to Regulation S
     for  a  total of $100,000.  These funds are to pay for
clinical trials
     and general and administrative expenses.

     Except  as indicated above, there are no planned
expenditures  outside
     the normal operating costs of the Company which will
cause the Company
     to  make  any  extraordinary plans for handling any
cash  requirements
     within the foreseeable future.
