NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Interim Financial Statements

In the  opinion  of  management,  all  adjustments  consisting  only  of  normal
recurring  accruals  necessary for a fair presentation of such amounts have been
included.  The  results  of  operations  for the  quarter  are  not  necessarily
indicative of results for the year.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Summary Analysis

In this  second  quarter of fiscal  year 1997,  Diagnon  realized  net income of
$28,231 totalling $46,126 for the first six months of fiscal year 1997.

During  this  quarter,  the Company  completed  its  clinical  trials for Equine
Intravenous (IV) IgG and subsequently submitted the results to the United States
Department of Agriculture  requesting approval to market and sell the veterinary
biologic  product  commercially.  There can be no assurance,  however,  that the
product will receive the necessary regulatory approval.

At its October 16, 1996, meeting, the Board of Directors voted to extend the due
date of the outstanding loan to the President,  Dr. John C. Landon,  maintaining
all other terms and conditions, until October 31, 1998, and to continue to offer
Dr.  Landon  the right to sell  shares of stock of  Diagnon  to the  Company  at
then-current  fair market value to fund the payment of the  principal  ($90,000)
and accrued interest ($8,955 at November 30, 1996).

Results of Operations

Three Months Comparison

For the three months of operations ended November 30, 1996 (the Company's second
quarter),  Contract  Revenues  increased  by  4.5%  due  to  increased  contract
activity. Contract Operating Expenses increased 2.9%. General and Administrative
Expenses (G&A)  increased 7.3% compared to the prior year primarily due to costs
associated with the clinical  trials of the Equine  Intravenous IgG and research
and  development  (R&D)  of  other  IgG  technology.  Total  Operating  Expenses
increased 3.8% primarily due to the above.

Operating  Income  increased  40.7%  compared to the prior year primarily due to
increased contract activity offset by the R&D expenses related to certain cancer
treatments  and drug  delivery  approaches  and the  development  of  other  IgG
technology.

For this quarter,  Diagnon had interest  expense of $11,054 compared to interest
expense of $12,341 in the prior year. The decrease is primarily  attributable to
lower borrowings under the line of credit partially offset by capitalized leases
at higher interest rates.



                                      -6-


<PAGE>



Six Months Comparison

For the six months of  operations  ended  November 30, 1996,  Contract  Revenues
increased by 3.6% compared to the prior year primarily due to increased contract
activity.  Contract Operating Expenses increased 4.1% primarily due to increased
contract  activity and costs incurred  related to certain cancer  treatments and
drug delivery  approaches.  General and  Administrative  Expenses increased 3.6%
primarily  due to  costs  associated  with the  clinical  trials  of the  Equine
Intravenous  IgG and  research  and  development  of  other  IgG  technology  as
discussed in the Three Months  Comparison.  Total Operating  Expenses  increased
4.0%, due to the above.

Operating  Income  decreased  11.0%  compared to the prior year primarily due to
costs  associated  with the clinical  trials of the Equine  Intravenous  IgG and
research and  development  of other IgG  technology  as stated  above  partially
offset by increased contract activity.

For the six months of this fiscal year,  Diagnon had interest expense of $22,869
compared  to  interest  expense of $19,986 in the prior  year.  The  increase is
primarily attributable to capitalized leases at higher interest rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Assets

The  changes in Cash and Cash  Equivalents  are  detailed in the  Statements  of
Consolidated Cash Flows on page 5. Accounts Receivable have decreased by $22,926
primarily consisting of 1) a decrease of $97,807 to Unbilled Accounts Receivable
reflecting a decrease in reimbursable indirect rate variances of $150,045 offset
by an increase of $52,238 in unbilled  accrued  direct  costs billed in December
1996  compared  to  unbilled  direct  costs at the prior year end billed in June
1996, 2) an $82,839 increase to Trade Receivables  reflecting increased contract
activity and 3) a $7,946  decrease to a receivable  from  ZooQuest  Technologies
LTD.

The decreases above were partially  offset by 1) an increase in Prepaid Expenses
of $58,322  primarily  due to the  prepayment  of $20,000 in business  insurance
premiums and $38,000 in real estate and personal  property taxes. An increase in
Fixed Assets,  net of  Accumulated  Depreciation  and  Amortization,  of $28,201
reflects fixed asset  purchases of $151,126  (mainly  nonhuman  primate  housing
units) offset by depreciation and amortization of $122,925 during this six month
period. Other Noncurrent Assets increased by $15,000 reflecting a deposit on the
fabrication of ten nonhuman primate housing units.

Liabilities

In the first six months of operations,  Total  Liabilities  decreased  $121,609.
This decrease is primarily  attributable to 1) a decrease in Accounts Payable of
$95,497  primarily due to the payment of a one-time rent  adjustment from Fiscal
Year 1992 ($51,500) that was  outstanding at the end of the last fiscal year, 2)
a decrease in Accrued  Compensation  and Related  Costs of $56,220  reflecting a
shorter  accrual period this quarter when compared to the prior year end, and 3)
payments totalling $55,213 on capital leases reducing Long-Term Debt.



                                      -7-


<PAGE>



The  decrease  above is  partially  offset by an  increase to  Borrowings  Under
Line-of-Credit  of $74,213  reflecting  the  increase in Fixed  Asset  purchases
stated above.

The Company believes it has sufficient cash and financing sources to provide for
its ongoing  operations and the Company  continues to believe that the impact of
inflation,  or the  absence  of it,  will  have  no  significant  effect  on its
operations.
