                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

                                 March 31, 1997


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
     have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles for interim financial information and
     with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of
     Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the
     information and footnotes required by generally accepted
     accounting principles for complete financial statements.  In
     the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of
     normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
     presentation have been included.  Operating results for the
     nine month period ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
     ending June 30, 1997.  For further information, refer to the
     consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto
     included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June
     30, 1996.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
                ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 as Compared to the Nine Months
Ended March 31, 1996

     Revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 decreased to
$3,662,588 from $3,943,713 for the same period in 1996.  Revenues for 
the nine months ended March 31, 1997 reflect a slightly reduced level of 
activity in the Company's contract packaging and Physicians Fax Network 
business.  March 31, 1997 revenues included approximately:  
(i) $3,277,004 from contract packaging, as compared to $3,346,531 
for the same period in 1996; (ii) $385,584 from the Physicians Fax 
Network, as compared to $395,371 for the same period in 1996; and 
(iii) $0 from its BioMedical Services business (intracranial pressure 
monitor business ("ICP") and the electron microscope supply ("EMS") 
business), as compared to $201,811 for the same period in 1996.  The 
Company sold its ICP and EMS businesses on October 6, 1995.  The 
Company did not report any revenues from these businesses since 
September 30, 1995.  The Company has continued to aggressively market 
its contract packaging business and its Physicians Fax Network.

     The Company's cost of sales represented 48.2% of sales (or
$1,763,968) for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, as compared
to 50.4% of sales (or $1,987,562) for the nine months ended March 
31, 1996.  The decrease in cost of sales, as a percent of sales, is a 
result of the change in the mix of the products packaged by the 
Company during the respective periods.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the
nine months ended March 31, 1997 was 50.0% of sales (or $1,832,187), 
as compared to 50.5% of sales (or $1,992,194) for the nine months ended 
March 31, 1996.  The decrease in SG&A is principally a result of cost
reduction efforts by the Company.  SG&A, as a percentage of sales,
remained relatively constant.

     The Company reported net income for the nine months ended March
31, 1997 in the amount of $23,957, as compared to net income of
$139,893 (or 3.5% of sales) for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

     On or about October 6, 1995, Sterimed, Inc. ("Sterimed"), a 
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an 
Asset Sale/Purchase Agreement with RAJ Communications, Ltd. 
("RAJ"), John Arnott and Rita Arnott.  Pursuant to that agreement, 
Sterimed sold to RAJ all of its assets,

<PAGE>
subject to certain of its liabilities, which comprised the EMS
business.  The purchase price was $300,000, paid at closing.  The
Company's revenues from the EMS business were $696,333 for the
fiscal year ended June 30, 1995, and $607,500 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1994.  On or about October 6, 1995, the Company also
entered into a separate Asset Sale/Purchase Agreement with RAJ,
John Arnott and Rita Arnott.  Pursuant to that agreement, the
Company sold to RAJ all of its assets used directly and exclusively
in its ICP business.  The purchase price was $300,000, and is to be
paid in consecutive monthly installments (without interest)
commencing October 15, 1995, each in the amount of 10% of the gross
receipts of the RAJ ICP business until paid in full.  The sole
source of payment of such purchase price is the gross receipts from
the ICP business.  The Company has received only [$6,105] in payments
against such purchase price as of March 31, 1997.  It is unclear
when the entire balance will be paid.  The Company's
revenues from the ICP business were $152,948 for the fiscal year
ended June 30, 1995, and $181,700 for the fiscal year ended June
30, 1994.

     There were no other material changes in the results of
operations in the Company's business.  

     Health care packaging services are typically provided by the
Company to its customers on an "as-needed" (purchase order-by-
purchase order) basis, and not pursuant to a long-term contract. 
Because of the nature of the contract packaging business, the
Company's operating results can vary significantly from period to
period.  

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 as Compared to the Three Months
Ended March 31, 1996 

     Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 increased to
$1,275,648 as compared to $989,847 for the same period in 1996. 
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 included
approximately $1,129,346 from contract packaging and $146,302 from
the Physicians Fax Network.  For the three months ended March 31,
1996, the Company derived approximately $910,639 in revenues 
from contract packaging and $79,208 from the Physicians Fax 
Network.  

     The Company's cost of sales were $572,450 (or 44.9% of sales)
for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $545,056
(or 55.1% of sales) for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The
decrease in cost of sales, as a percent of sales, is a result of
the change in the mix of the products packaged by the Company
during the respective periods.

<PAGE>
     Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the
three months ended March 31, 1997 was $589,528 (or 46.2% of sales)
as compared to $706,921 (or 71.4% of sales) for the three months
ended March 31, 1996.  The decrease in SG&A is principally a result
of cost reduction efforts by the Company.

     Operating income for the three months ended March 31, 1997 
was $113,670 (or 8.9% of sales), as compared to a loss of ($262,130)
for the three months ended March 31, 1996.  The increase in 
operating income is principally attributable to the higher revenues
for the period ended March 31, 1997 and lower SG&A.  

     There were no other material changes in the results of
operations in the Company's business.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's working capital on March 31, 1997 was $602,458. 
The Company's working capital on June 30, 1996, was approximately
$405,324.  The principal changes in the components of 
working capital are the reduction in the Company's current portion
of long term debt and capital lease obligations since June 30, 
1996.  

    As of March 31, 1994, the Company executed its 7%
Subordinated Promissory Note, due March 31, 1996, in the amount of 
$300,000.  The Company paid this note in full on March 31, 1996, 
with the proceeds of a loan from The Bank of New York (NJ).  The Bank 
of New York note bears interest at the bank's prime rate plus .5% 
per year, and is payable in monthly increments of $5,000.  Any unpaid 
balance due is payable April 1, 2001.

     On June 30, 1993, the Company borrowed $700,000 from a bank,
payable monthly until July 1, 1998, at prime plus 1/2%.  This Note
is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company
and is personally guaranteed by the president of the Company.  At 
June 30, 1994, the Company was not in compliance with certain covenants
pertaining to minimum working capital, net worth, quick ratio,
current ratio and debt service.  These covenants were waived by the 
bank as of June 30, 1995, for the remaining term of the loan.  The 
Company has continued to make its monthly payments to the bank in a 
timely fashion. 

     The Company believes that funding for anticipated operations
and capital needs will come from existing working capital and
anticipated future operations.
