                          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, 1997.

2.    Earnings Per Share Calculation:

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statements of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share"
      ("SFAS No. 128"), which establishes standards for computing and presenting
      earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
      income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during
      the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a similar manner
      except that the weighted average number of common shares is increased for
      dilutive securities. All potentially dilutive securities for the nine
      months ended September 30, 1998, and the three months ended September 30,
      1998, are considered anti-dilutive. Potentially dilutive securities for
      the nine months ended September 30, 1997 computation of diluted earnings
      per share consist of options for approximately 371,832 shares and Series C
      Convertible Preferred Stock for approximately 1,945,625. Potentially
      dilutive securities for the three months ended September 30, 1997
      computation of diluted earnings per share consist of options for
      approximately 276,847 shares and Series C Convertible Preferred Stock for
      approximately 1,945,625. Series B Preferred Stock was excluded from
      the1997 calculation of diluted earnings per share since the result would
      be anti-dilutive.

3.    Acquisitions/Divestitures:

      On April 30, 1998, the Company successfully completed divestiture of its
      electron beam accelerator and related equipment for the approximate sum of
      $1,250,000. The proceeds of the sale were immediately used by the Company
      to repay the entire balance of a bank note against the beam for
      approximately $402,000, and the residual monies were applied against the
      Company's financing agreement with its commercial lender.


                                       8
<PAGE>

      The sale of the beam completes the decision by the Company's Board of
      Directors to focus the Company on its core Instrument Set sterilization
      processing business. Revenues from the business divested approximated
      $4,100,000 and $3,800,000 for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
      respectively.

      On August 3, 1998, SSI Surgical Services, Inc. ("SSI"), a joint venture
      company between TFX Equities, Incorporated ("TFX"), a wholly owned
      subsidiary of Teleflex, Incorporated ("Teleflex"), and the Company formed
      in May, 1997, acquired all the assets of Sterilization Management Group
      ("SMG"). SMG currently operates 5 sterile processing facilities,
      principally involved in the sterilization and reprocessing of reusable
      gowns and set-up packs, based in McGraw Park, Illinois, Baltimore,
      Houston, Tampa and Detroit. Four of these facilities have Instrument Set
      sterilization processing capabilities and SSI plans to upgrade the fifth
      to include Instrument Set sterilization processing so that all of the
      facilities can focus on this added business opportunity. Through these
      facilities, SMG currently employs approximately 120 full-time employees,
      and provides sterile and non-sterile operating room gowns, surgical towels
      and set-up packs to approximately 130 hospitals in 11 states. SMG had
      approximately $11.0 million (unaudited) in revenues for the twelve months
      ending December 31, 1997.

      As of April 1998, SSI had also entered into several multi-year contracts
      to provide long-term on-site management and sterile processing services
      totaling over $20.0 million.

      Based on the Company's interest in a rapidly growing SSI, the Company now
      has expanded from a regional sterilization processing facility to one with
      a national footprint. It should be noted, however, that the joint venture
      with SSI does not materially impact the financial position or results of
      operations of the Company at this time.

4.    Subsequent Events:

      As of October 1998, the Company has entered into several loan agreements
      with TFX, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex. The principal amount of
      the loans total $400,000 and bear interest at the rate of prime plus one
      and one-half percent. The notes are due and payable on December 31, 1998.

      On October 15, 1998, the Company signed a short-term sublease agreement
      through February 28, 1998. The agreement provides for the sublease of
      50,000 square feet of its premises at a rental plus other reimbursements
      of approximately $100,000.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL

                      CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Current Assets have decreased approximately $1,808,000 to $2,041,179 at
September 30, 1998 compared to $3,849,226 at December 31, 1997. The decrease was
primarily due to the decrease in assets held for sale of $1,250,000 related to
the successful completion of the divestiture of the electron beam accelerator
and related equipment and an approximate $657,533 decrease in accounts
receivable offset by an increase in cash of approximately $67,518 and an
approximate $45,612 increase in prepaid expenses. The Company had negative
working capital of approximately $308,452 at September 30, 1998 compared to
positive working capital of approximately $1,529,850 at December 31, 1997. This
decrease of approximately $1,838,302 was primarily the result of the decrease in
assets held for sale of $1,250,000 related to the successful completion of the
divestiture of the electron beam accelerator and related equipment, the decrease
in accounts receivable of approximately $657,533, the increase in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of approximately $563,628 and new loan agreements
with TFX, totaling $300,000 due December 31, 1998, offset in part by the
repayment of the current portion of debt of approximately $851,836 and an
increase in cash of approximately $67,518. There was a decrease in the working
capital ratio, to 0.87 to 1 at September 30, 1998 from 1.66 to 1 at December 31,
1997. This was directly the result of the sale of the beam, subsequent reduction
in accounts receivable and the net impact to payables described above.

      The Company currently plans to expand its business by increasing its
portfolio of reprocessing services to include new service offerings such as
consulting, on-site management services and EtO sterilization. Management also
plans to purchase additional surgical instruments, as and if required to support
the Company's hospital sterilization growth objectives. 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, the $400,000
loan from TFX and the completion of the sale of the electron beam accelerator in
April, 1998, will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements during
1998. 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, if at all.


INFLATION

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

                 CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, continued

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

      The Company is dependent on computer systems and applications to conduct
its business. Some computer systems and applications include programming code in
which calendar year data is abbreviated to only two digits. As a result of this
design decision, some of these systems could fail to operate or fail to produce
correct results if "00" is interpreted to mean 1900, rather than 2000. These
problems are commonly referred to as the "Millennium Bug" or "Year 2000
Problem."

      The Company is currently executing a risk-based plan designed to make its
computer systems, applications and facilities Year 2000 ready. The plan covers
four stages including (i) identification, (ii) assessment, (iii) remediation,
and (iv) testing.

      The Company has identified substantially all of the major computers,
software applications, and related equipment used in connection with its
internal operations that must be modified, upgraded, or replaced to minimize the
possibility of a material disruption to its business. The Company has commenced
the assessment and remediation stages of modifying, upgrading, and replacing
major systems that have been identified as adversely affected.

      In addition to computers and related systems, the operation of
sterilization equipment, other plant floor equipment and office equipment, such
as fax machines, photocopiers, security systems, and other common devices may be
affected by the Year 2000 Problem. The Company is currently assessing the
potential effects of, and cost of remediating, the Year 2000 Problem on this
type of equipment.

      The Company has incurred costs to date of approximately $12,000 and
estimates the total cost of any required modifications, upgrades, or
replacements of its internal systems to be less than $100,000. While the
estimated cost of these efforts are not expected to be material to the Company's
financial position or any year's results of operations, there can be no
assurance to this effect. The estimated cost will be monitored and will be
revised as additional information becomes available.

      The Company is initiating communications with its major customers and
suppliers to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to those
third parties' failure to remediate their own Year 2000 Problems. There can be
no assurance that these customers and suppliers will resolve any

or all Year 2000 Problems with its systems before the occurrence of a material
disruption to the business of the Company. Any failure of these customers and
suppliers to resolve Year 2000 Problems with their systems in a timely manner
could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial
condition, and results of operation.

      The Company is also developing contingency plans to be implemented as part
of its efforts to identify and correct Year 2000 Problems affecting its internal
systems. Depending on the systems affected, these plans could include
accelerated replacement of affected equipment or software, short to medium-term
use of backup equipment and software, increased work hours for Company personnel
or use of contract personnel to correct on an accelerated schedule any Year 2000
Problems that arise or to provide manual workarounds for information systems,
and similar approaches.

      The discussion of the Company's efforts, and management's expectations,
related to Year 2000 compliance are forward-looking statements. The Company's
ability to achieve Year 2000 compliance and the level of incremental costs
associated therewith, could be adversely impacted by, among other things, the
availability and cost of programming and testing resources, vendors' ability to
modify proprietary software, and unanticipated problems identified in the
ongoing compliance review.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES

      Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 decreased
approximately $1,454,000 or 20.1% to approximately $5,795,000 from revenues of
approximately $7,249,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to an approximate $2,615,000
decrease in revenues or a 85.1% decrease in the Company's contract sterilization
and radiation processing of industrial products services in line with the
Company's decision to divest this business, offset by an approximate $1,161,000
or 27.8% increase in the Company's revenue in its hospital services division.

approximately $6,834,786 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997. Operating
expenses have decreased approximately $784,000 or 17.7% due to a reduction in
salary, utility and other costs related to the divestiture of the electron beam
accelerator partially offset by increases in salaries and supplies to support
the increased sales volume in the hospital services division. Distribution costs
have increased approximately $172,000 or 43.9% due to increased driver salaries
and other costs related to increased sales volume and expanded geographical
coverage in the hospital services division. Selling, general and administrative
expenses have decreased approximately $18,000 or 1.1% due primarily to reduced
administrative salary expenditure attributed to the hospital services division.
Interest expense decreased approximately $38,000 or 10.5% due to the sale of the
beam and the subsequent repayment of debt.

      The decrease in total expenses for the nine months ended September 30,
1998, was limited by several factors attributed to the divestiture of the
electron beam business, as well as, other nonrecurring expenditures. The Company
is currently evaluating long-term sublease offers on its facility to offset
approximately $229,000 in unabsorbed plant rental and realty taxes associated
with the discontinued electron beam business that are currently included in
operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 1998. Operating
expenses also include approximately $176,000 of other one-time costs related to
the liquidation of the electron beam business. In addition to these items, the
Company is effecting further reductions in selling, general and administrative
expenses.
