throughout  the  world.

(2)     INTERIM  FINANCIAL  STATEMENTS  PRESENTATION

     The  accompanying  interim financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared  by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission  ("SEC")  regarding  interim  financial  reporting.
Accordingly,  they  do not include all of the information and footnotes required

management,  the  consolidated  financial statements for the three month periods
and  the  nine month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1998 include all normal and
recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results
of  the  interim  periods.  The results of operations for the three month period
and  the nine month period ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of

(4)     NET  INCOME  PER  COMMON  SHARE


<PAGE>
     In  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,  Earnings  per Share.  Statement 128
replaced  the  previously  reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with  basic  and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share,
basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and
convertible  securities.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  very similar to the
previously  reported  fully  diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share
amounts  for  all  periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
conform  to  the  Statement  128  requirements.

(5)     INITIAL  PUBLIC  OFFERING

     On  November  26, 1997, the Company completed an initial public offering of
1,250,000  Common  Shares  at an offering price of $8.00 per share.  On December
19, 1997, the underwriters exercised an option to purchase an additional 100,000
Common Shares.  The net proceeds to the Company from the public offering and the
exercise  of  the over-allotment option by the underwriters, after deducting the
underwriting  discounts  and  commissions  and  offering expenses payable by the
Company, were approximately $9.4 million.  Upon the closing of the offering, all
of  the  Company's  outstanding Convertible Preferred Shares were converted into
752,399  Common  Shares.

(6)     ACQUISITION

     On  October  31,  1997, the Company acquired all of the outstanding capital
stock  of  Vetronics, Inc. ("Vetronics"), which manufactures, markets and sells,
electrocardiograph  and  vital  sign monitors for small to midsize animals.  The
total purchase price consisted of $200,000 in cash, $150,000 in notes payable on
July 1, 1998 and a contingent amount to be based upon the profitability of sales
from  products manufactured by Vetronics during the next two years.  The Company
believes  that  the  addition  of  these products will enhance its position as a
producer  of  physiology  instrumentation.

(7)     SUBSEQUENT  EVENT

     As  of  July  1,  1998, the Company, through a newly-created United Kingdom
subsidiary, acquired all of the outstanding capital stock of Clinical Inovations
Ltd.  ("CI"),  which  provides  bionalytical  services  to  the  pharmaceutical
industry.  The  total  purchase  price consisted of $1,513,000 in cash.   At the
time  of  the acquisition of CI, CI also entered into employment agreements with
the  former  principals  of  CI  each  of  which  included  a base salary plus a
significant  bonus  contingent  upon  CI  achieving  certain  revenue and income
targets during the next three years.   The Company believes that the addition of
these  service  capabilities will enhance its position as a provider of services
to  the  pharmaceutical  industry.

OF  OPERATIONS

     This Form 10-Q may contain "forward-looking statements," within the meaning

but  are  not  limited to, discussions regarding the Company's intent, belief or
current expectations with respect to (i) the Company's strategic plans; (ii) the
Company's  future  profitability; (iii) the Company's capital requirements; (iv)
industry  trends  affecting  the  Company's  financial  condition  or results of
operations;  (v)  the  Company's sales or marketing plans; or (vi) the Company's
growth  strategy.  Investors  in  the Company's Common Shares are cautioned that
reliance  on  any  forward-looking  statement  involves risks and uncertainties,
including  the risk factors contained in the Company's Registration Statement on
Form  S-1,  File  No.  333-36429.   Although  the  Company  believes  that  the
assumptions  on  which  the  forward-looking  statements  contained  herein  are
reasonable,  any  of  those  assumptions  could prove to be inaccurate, and as a

objectives  will  be  achieved.

RESULTS  OF  OPERATIONS

THREE  MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Total  revenue  for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 17.7% to
approximately  $4.5 million from approximately $3.8 million for the three months
ended  June  30, 1997.  The net increase of approximately $700,000 was primarily
due  to  increased  revenue from services, which increased to approximately $2.0
million  in the three months ended June 30, 1998 from approximately $1.4 million
in  the  three  months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the expansion of types
and  volume  of  services  provided  by  the  Company.  During this same period,
product  revenue  increased  to  approximately $2.5 million for the three months
ended  June  30, 1998 from approximately $2.4 million for the three months ended
June  30,  1997  primarily  as  a  result  of  sales of a new line of physiology
monitoring  products acquired in connection with the acquisition of Vetronics on
October  31,  1997.  The  negative  impact  of  reduced sales in Asia due to the
currency  situation  there  was  offset  by  the  improvement in North and South
America.

     Total  cost  of  revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased
28.0%  to  approximately  $2.0  million  from approximately $1.6 million for the
three  months  ended June 30, 1997.  This increase of approximately $400,000 was
primarily  due  to  the additional cost of revenue related to the services unit.
Cost  of  product  revenue increased to 35.3% as a percentage of product revenue
for  the  three months ended June 30, 1998 from 32.8% of product revenue for the
three  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  due to a change in product mix.  Cost of
services  revenue  increased  to approximately 55.6% as a percentage of services
revenue  for  the  three  months ended June 30, 1998 from approximately 54.8% of
services  revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1997 due to an increase in
the  level  of  services  staffing.

     Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 5.0% to
approximately  $1,101,000  from  approximately  $1,048,000  for the three months
ended  June  30,  1997  due  to  the  addition of sales personnel.  Research and
development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1998 increased 58.2% to
approximately  $639,000  from  approximately $404,000 for the three months ended
June  30,  1997  due  to  the  acceleration of product development and increased
activity  in  the  NIH  and  NASA  grant  projects.  General  and administrative
expenses  for  the  three  months  ended  June  30,  1998  increased  13.6%  to
approximately  $525,000  from  approximately $462,000 for the three months ended
June  30,  1997,  primarily  as  a  result  of increased expenses related to the
Company's  defense  of  a patent infringement suit as well as increased property
taxes  incurred  in  connection  with the Company's purchase and construction of
additional  facilities.

     Other  income  (expense), net, was approximately $8,000 in the three months
ended  June  30,  1998, as compared to approximately $13,000 in the three months
ended  June  30,  1997.

     The  Company's  effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 1998
was  48.8%  as compared to 41.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1997.  This
increase  was  due,  in part, to decreasing profitability from operations in the
United  Kingdom.

NINE  MONTHS  ENDED  JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

     Total  revenue  for  the nine months ended June 30, 1998 increased 20.9% to
approximately $13.3 million from approximately $11.0 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 1997.  The net increase of approximately $2,300,000 was primarily
due  to  increased  revenue from services, which increased to approximately $5.3
million  in  the nine months ended June 30, 1998 from approximately $3.7 million
in the nine months ended June 30, 1997 as a result of the expansion of types and
volume  of  services  provided by the Company.  During this same period, product
revenue  increased  to approximately $8.0 million for the nine months ended June
30, 1998 from approximately $7.3 million for the nine months ended June 30, 1997
primarily  as  a result of sales of a new line of physiology monitoring products
acquired  in  connection  with the acquisition of Vetronics on October 31, 1997.
The negative impact of reduced sales in Asia due to the currency situation there
was  offset  by  the  improvement  in  North  and  South  America.

     Total  cost  of  revenue  for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 increased
30.1% to approximately $5.8 million from approximately $4.4 million for the nine
months  ended  June  30,  1997.  This  increase  of approximately $1,400,000 was
primarily  due  to  the additional cost of revenue related to the services unit.
Cost  of  product  revenue increased to 34.5% as a percentage of product revenue
for  the  nine  months ended June 30, 1998 from 31.0% of product revenue for the
nine  months  ended  June  30,  1997,  due  to a change in product mix.  Cost of
services  revenue  decreased  to approximately 56.4% as a percentage of services
revenue  for  the  nine  months  ended June 30, 1998 from approximately 58.4% of
services  revenue  for the nine months ended June 30, 1997 due to an increase in
the  level  of  services  revenue.

     Selling  expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 increased 5.8% to
approximately $3,272,000 from approximately $3,094,000 for the nine months ended
June 30, 1997 due primarily to the promotion of the new homocysteine kit and the
addition  of  sales  personnel.  Research  and development expenses for the nine
months  ended  June  30,  1998  increased 54.3% to approximately $1,713,000 from
approximately  $1,110,000  for  the  nine  months ended June 30, 1997 due to the
acceleration  of  product development and increased activity in the NIH and NASA
grant  projects.  General  and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
June  30,  1998  increased  37.4% to approximately $1,662,000 from approximately
$1,210,000  for  the  nine  months ended June 30, 1997, primarily as a result of
increased  expenses  related  to  the Company's defense of a patent infringement
suit  as  well  as  increased  property  taxes  incurred  in connection with the
Company's  purchase  and  construction  of  additional  facilities.

     Other  income  (expense), net, was approximately $54,000 in the nine months
ended  June  30, 1998, as compared to approximately $(24,000) in the nine months
ended June 30, 1997 as a result of a reduction in net interest expense due to an
increase  in  cash  and  cash  equivalents  resulting  from  the  initial public
offering.

     The  Company's  effective  tax rate for the nine months ended June 30, 1998
was  41.4%  as  compared  to 41.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 1997. This
increase  was  due,  in part, to decreasing profitability from operations in the
United  Kingdom.

LIQUIDITY  AND  CAPITAL  RESOURCES

     At  June  30,  1998,  the  Company  had  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $2.7  million  compared  to  cash  and  cash  equivalents  of
approximately  $161,000  at  September  30, 1997.  The increase in cash resulted
primarily  from  the  Company's  initial  public  offering  of  Common Shares in
November  of  1997.

     The  Company's  net cash provided by operating activities was approximately
$1,049,000  for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to approximately
$370,000  for  the  first  nine  months  of  1997.  The  positive cash flow from
operations  during  the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was primarily the result
of  net  income of approximately $557,000 plus non-cash charges of approximately
$672,000 partially offset by a net change of approximately $180,000 in operating
assets  and  liabilities.  The  most  significant  increase  in operating assets
related  to inventory, which increased to approximately $2.1 million at June 30,
1998  from  approximately  $1.9  million  at  September  30,  1997.

     Cash  used  by investing activities decreased to approximately $2.4 million
for  the nine months ended June 30, 1998 from approximately $2.6 million for the
nine  months  ended  June  30, 1997, primarily as a result of the Company's move
toward  completion  of  construction  of  certain  additional  facilities.  Cash
provided  by  financing  activities  for the nine months ended June 30, 1998 was
approximately  $3.8  million  due  to the initial public offering in November of
1997,  partially  offset  by  the  reduction  of  debt.

     Total  expenditures  by  the  Company  for  property  and  equipment  were
approximately  $2,598,000 and $2,048,000 for the nine months ended June 30, 1997
and  1998,  respectively.  Expenditures made in connection with the expansion of
the Company's operating facilities and purchases of laboratory equipment account
for  the  largest  portions  of  these  expenditures.  The  Company  anticipates
increased levels of capital expenditures during the remainder of fiscal 1998 and
fiscal  1999  in  connection  with the renovation and construction of additional
facilities  and  the  purchase of additional laboratory equipment.  The Company,
however,  currently  has no firm commitments for capital expenditures other than
in  connection with the expansion of the Company's facilities.  The Company also
expects  to  make  other  investments  to expand its operations through internal
growth  and,  as attractive opportunities arise, through strategic acquisitions,
alliances  and  joint  ventures.

     Based  on  its  current business activities, the Company believes that cash
generated  from  its operations, amounts available under its existing bank lines
of  credit  and the remaining net proceeds from its initial public offering will
be  sufficient  to  fund its anticipated working capital and capital expenditure
requirements.

     The Company has a $7.5 million bank line of credit agreement, which expires
on  March  1,  1999.   Interest  is  charged at the prime rate (8.5% at June 30,
1998).  The line is not currently being utilized.  The line is collateralized by
substantially  all  inventories  and  accounts  receivable  of  the  Company.

EFFECT  OF  NEW  ACCOUNTING  PRONOUNCEMENT

     In  1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  128,  Earnings  per Share.  Statement 128
replaced  the  previously  reported primary and fully diluted earnings per share
with  basic  and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share,
basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive effects of options, warrants, and
convertible  securities.  Diluted  earnings  per  share  is  very similar to the
previously  reported  fully  diluted earnings per share.  All earnings per share
amounts  for  all  periods have been presented, and where necessary, restated to
conform  to  the  Statement  128  requirements.


     PART  II  -  OTHER  INFORMATION

ITEM  1.     LEGAL  PROCEEDINGS

     In  April,  1997,  CMA  Microdialysis  Holding A.B. ("CMA") filed an action
against  the Company in the United States District Court for the District of New
Jersey  in which CMA alleged that the Company's microdialysis probes infringe U.
S.  Patent  No.  4,694,832.  The  Company has filed an answer in which it denied
infringement and asserted that the patent on which CMA relies is invalid.  Sales
of  the  product  in question accounted for less than one half of one percent of
the Company's revenues in fiscal 1997 and for the first three quarters of fiscal
1998.  The matter is now in the discovery stage.  Management intends to continue
a  vigorous defense against CMA's claims, and believes that the ultimate outcome
of  this  matter  will  not  have  a  material  adverse  effect on the Company's
financial  condition  or  results  of  operations.  However,  legal  expenses
associated  with  the defense of this suit have had and will continue to have an
adverse  effect  on  earnings.

ITEM  2.     CHANGES  IN  SECURITIES  AND  USE  OF  PROCEEDS.

     In  the  third  quarter  of fiscal 1998, the Company issued an aggregate of
39,462  Common Shares to certain employees and members of the Company's Board of
Directors  upon the exercise of stock options for an aggregate purchase price of
$33,135.71.  The  issuance  of  these Common Shares was exempt from registration
under  the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof
and  Rule  701  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange  Commission  (the  "SEC").

     On November 24, 1997, the SEC declared effective the Company's Registration
Statement  on  Form  S-1,  File  Number  333-36429.  Item  2  of  Part II of the
Company's Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 1997 set forth information
regarding the net proceeds received by the Company from the offering pursuant to
such  registration  statement  and  the  Company's  use  of  such proceeds.  The
information  below  reflects  changes  since  such  disclosure.

     The  net proceeds received by the Company from the offering were $9,362,000
after  deducting  expenses  paid  by  the  Company  of $1,438,000, consisting of
$756,000  for  underwriting  discounts  and  commissions and $682,000 for legal,
accounting  and  printing  fees.

     As  of  June 30, 1998, the Company had used approximately $6,700,000 of the
net  proceeds  from  the offering to repay indebtedness.  The balance of the net
proceeds,  or  approximately  $2,700,000,  was  invested  in money market funds.

ITEM  5.           OTHER  INFORMATION.

     On  May  7,  1998 Thomas A. Hiatt and William C. Mulligan resigned from the
Board  of Directors of the Company.   Neither Mr. Hiatt nor Mr. Mulligan had any
disagreements  with  the  Company  on  any  matter  relating  to  the  Company's
operations,  policies  or  practices.
