                          Notes to Financial Statements

1.  Unaudited Statements:
    The accompanying  unaudited  financial  statements have been prepared by the
    Company  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles,
    pursuant  to the  rules  and  regulations  of the  Securities  and  Exchange
    Commission.  Certain information and footnote  disclosures normally included
    in financial  statements  have been  condensed  or omitted  pursuant to such
    rules and regulations  although management believes that the disclosures are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of
    management,  the accompanying  financial  statements contain all adjustments
    necessary to present a fair  statement of the results for the interim period
    presented.  It is  suggested  that  these  financial  statements  be read in
    conjunction with the financial  statements and notes thereto included in the
    Company's Annual Report filed on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31,
    1995.

2.  Net Income (loss) Per Share of Common Stock:
    Net income (loss) per share of common stock is based on the weighted average
    number of shares of common stock outstanding during each period adjusted for
    undeclared  dividends on Preferred Stock. Common stock equivalents have been
    excluded  from the  computation  of net income per share of common stock for
    the nine  months  ending  September  30,  1996  since  the  result  would be
    anti-dilutive.

3.  Subsequent Event:
    In April 1996 the Company entered into an agreement  modifying and extending
    its  financing  agreement  with its  commercial  lender.  The  agreement was
    extended to January 31, 1998 and the advance rate on the Company's  eligible
    Accounts Receivable was increased to 75% from the existing 70%.

4.  Contingencies:
    In July 1994 the New York State  Department  of  Environmental  Conservation
    announced  stringent  standards  with regard to the  emission of ozone.  The
    Company is  working  with State and  County  authorities  on an  established
    timeline  to bring the  Company  in  compliance  with these  standards.  The
    Company has hired  consultants to measure the Company's ozone emissions and,
    in  conjunction  with  State and  County  authorities,  to design  necessary
    pollution control  equipment to meet these standards.  The estimated cost of
    such pollution control equipment is approximately $300,000. In the event the
    Company  does not install  such  pollution  control  equipment,  it will not
    obtain a permit to operate its electron beam accelerator, which would result
    in a  significant  reduction in revenues  and would have a material  adverse
    effect on the  Company's  business,  results  of  operations  and  financial
    conditions.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                      CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

         Current assets have increased  approximately  $340,000 to $3,176,465 at
September 30, 1996 compared to $2,836,517 at December 31, 1995. The increase was
primarily  due to a $313,000  increase in accounts  receivable  and  $187,000 in
prepaid expenses (primarily insurance and real estate taxes) offset partially by
a $154,000  decrease in cash. The Company had working  capital of  approximately
$1,024,077  at  September  30, 1996  compared  to  approximately  $1,607,220  at
December  31,  1995.  This  decrease of  approximately  $583,000  was the result
primarily of the  acquisition  of fixed  assets  (surgical  instruments)  as the
Company  invested in its  instrument  kits to better  serve its  customers.  The
working  capital ratio  decreased to 1.48 to 1 at September 30, 1996 compared to
2.3 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

         The Company currently plans to expand its business both  geographically
and by increasing its portfolio of reprocessing  services to include new service
offerings such as endoscopic  procedure  specific  instrument sets. In addition,
the  Company  will be  required to expend  approximately  $300,000 on  pollution
control  equipment  in the future.  The Company  believes  that the  anticipated
future  cash flow from  operations,  along  with its cash on hand and  available
funds under its working  capital line of credit will be  sufficient  to meet its
working capital  requirements  during 1996. There can be no assurance,  however,
that the Company  will not require  additional  working  capital and, if it does
require  such  capital,  that such  capital  will be available to the Company on
acceptable terms, it at all.


Inflation
- ---------

         The  Company  does  not   anticipate   that  inflation  will  have  any
significant effect on its business particularly since the United State, the only
market  in  which  the  Company  currently  intends  to  operate,  is  presently
experiencing a relatively low rate of inflation.

REVENUES
- --------

         Revenues  for the  nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996  decreased
approximately  $201,000  or 3% to  approximately  $6,346,668  from  revenues  of
approximately  $6,547,236  for the nine months ended  September  30,  1995.  The
decrease in revenues  was  primarily  attributable  to an  approximate  $366,000
decrease in revenues or a 35.0% decrease in the Company's contract sterilization
business,  partially  offset  by an  approximate  $152,000  increase  or a  4.4%
increase in the  Company's  revenues in its  hospital  services  business and an
approximate  $13,000  increase  or a 0.6%  increase in the  Company's  radiation
processing of industrial products business.

         Revenues  for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996  decreased
approximately  $122,000 or 5.4% to  approximately  $2,132,389  from  revenues of
approximately  $2,253,420  for the three months ended  September  30, 1995.  The
decrease in revenues  was  primarily  attributable  to an  approximate  $109,000
decrease in revenues or a 31.1% decrease in the Company's contract sterilization
business and an approximate $13,000 decrease or a 1.8% decrease in the Company's
revenues in its  radiation  processing  of  industrial  products  business.  The
Company's  revenues in its hospital  services business were flat from quarter to
quarter.


COSTS AND EXPENSES
- ------------------

         Total   expenses   increased   approximately   $271,000   or   4.2%  to
approximately  $6,641,221 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 compared
to  approximately  $6,369,832  for the nine months  ended  September  30,  1995.
Operating expenses decreased  approximately $158,000 or 3.3% due to efficiencies
attained  in  the  Company's  processing   operations.   Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses increased approximately $455,000 or 23.9% due primarily
to investments being made in the management and sales areas of the Company.  The
Company has made a commitment to extend its marketing  effort to a full national
program.  In order to do this the  Company has hired a national  sales  programs
coordinator to implement its programs.

to  approximately  $2,191,018  for the three  months ended  September  30, 1995.
Operating expenses decreased  approximately  $16,000 or 1.0% due to efficiencies
attained  in  the  Company's  processing   operations.   Selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses increased approximately $191,000 or 36.9% due primarily
to  investments  being made in the  management  and sales areas of the  Company,
primarily in the national sales programs.
