Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
- ----------------------------------------------------------
         Condition and Results of Operations
         -----------------------------------
During the first six months of fiscal year 1997, current assets decreased by 
$220,494 to $209,171, which was due to the loss for the period of $628,451.


     Operations
     ----------
    Comparison of the six-month periods ended December 31, 1996 and December 
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
31, 1995
- --------
     The net loss for the six months decreased $319,580 from the prior year, 
due to the reduction of expenses.

     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. It is estimated that an additional $125,000 during the 
next three months will be required to fund the Phase III Aztec7 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. 
The Company as had success in recent years in obtaining capital, in the form 
of private placement of common stock, from investors outside the U.S.  
Specifically, it has sold more than $2,175,000 worth of stock since 1993 
pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1993.  It is the 
Company's intention to continue such stock sales as capital needs dictate.

     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.
