                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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. 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 normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and related
notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995.

2.  EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Primary and fully diluted earnings per common and common equivalent share are
computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of
Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents outstanding during the year. The
calculation of fully diluted income (loss) per Common Share assumes a different
market price than the primary earnings (loss)per Common Share for the
reacquisition of Common Shares. This calculation does not reflect outstanding
warrants as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Loss per Common Share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted average
number of shares of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents outstanding during
the year. Options are not reflected in the calculation of loss per Common Share
as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


1.    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

Total Company revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 were $1,600,487
as compared to revenues of $1,413,642 in the corresponding period last year,
representing an increase of $186,845, or 13.2%. For the six month period ended
June 30, 1996, revenues increased 3.2% to $3,094,947 from $3,000,169 for the
first six months of 1995. North American sales for the three month period ended
June 30, 1996 increased 58.7% to $1,224,089 from $771,462 for the three months
ended June 30, 1995. Foreign sales were $376,398 for the quarter ended June 30,
1996, compared to approximately $642,000 for the quarter ended June  30, 1995, a
decrease of $265,602, or 41.4%. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996,
North American sales increased 26.0% to $1,988,693 from $1,578,169 for the first
six months of 1995. Foreign sales were $1,106,254 for the six month period ended
June 30, 1996, compared to approximately $1,422,000 for the six month period
ended June 30, 1995, a decrease of $315,746, or 22.2%.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $710,551, or
44% of revenue, compared to $651,969, or 46% of revenue, for the same period
last year. For the six month period ended June 30, 1996, cost of goods sold
increased 7.1% to $1,441,732 from $1,346,087 for the six month period ended June
30, 1995. The Company's three major product lines have different profit margins,
as well as multiple profit margins within each product line. In the course of
the periods compared, there may be significant changes in the cost of revenues
as a percentage of revenue depending on the mix of product sold. Also, the cost
of sales as a percent of revenue will differ between laboratory and pilot plant
units sold due to the difference in costs between air driven and electric-
hydraulic units.

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996 were $880,086 as
compared to $951,174 for the same period last year, a decrease of $71,088 or
7.5%. Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $1,531,301
as compared to $1,838,747 for the same period last year, a decrease of $307,446,
or 17%. Research and Development expenses decreased by $74,196, of which
approximately $29,600 was due to a reduction in payroll and related expenses,
$15,000 due to a reduction in travel, and the receipt by the Company and
Catalytica, Inc. of a joint federal grant, whereby the Company is reimbursed for
up to 48% of its costs related to its grant-related research. The cost of
Marketing and Sales decreased by approximately $215,705, from $1,051,059 to
$835,354, due to a conscientious effort by management to make more cost
effective expenditures in this area.  Key line items reduced and the amount of
the reductions were: payroll and related expenses of approximately $51,500,
travel and entertainment of $40,437, advertising expenses of $46,086, and
delivery expenses of $8,561.  General and administrative expenses decreased by
$17,545, or 3.4%.

           ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (continued)

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 1996 increased 37.4% to
$28,569 from $20,792 for the three months ended June 30, 1995. Interest income
increased for the six months ended June 30, 1996 to $51,544 from $43,623 in the
same period last year, an increase of $7,921 or 18.2%. These increases were due
to an increase in the amount of cash available for investment.

The Company received other income of $12,503 and $25,006 for the three and six
months ended June 30, 1996, respectively. The other income resulted from royalty
income of $4,168 per month due to the sale of the Company's Dermasome product
line in December, 1995. The Company had a backlog of $36,762 and $414,551 at
June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively, consisting of purchase
commitments for Microfluidizer equipment.


2. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cash and cash equivalents balance of the Company was $2,542,181 at June 30,
1996, an increase of $638,763 from the December 31, 1995 balance of $1,903,418.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents was principally the result of the
decrease in inventories, an increase in accounts payable, and a decrease in
receivables. The Company continues to maintain a line of credit with the Bank of
Boston. The line of credit facility provides for maximum borrowing equal to the
lesser of: $750,000 or; 80% of the domestic accounts receivable less than 60
days old. As of June 30, 1996 and July 31, 1996, the Company had no borrowings
outstanding under its line of credit.

The Company believes that its cash on hand and available borrowings under its
bank line of credit will be sufficient to support its current and antipated
operations through at least the end of 1996.

3. BUSINESS OUTLOOK

This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
"safe-harbor" provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are
subject to a number of factors and uncertainties that could cause actual results
to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements.
Such factors and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the uncertainty
that the performance advantages of the Microfluidizer equipment will be realized
commercially or that a commercial market for Microfluidizer equipment will
continue to develop; the dependence by the Company on key customers; the loss of
the services of one or more of the Company's key employees, which could have a
material adverse impact on the Company; the development of competing or superior
technologies and products from other manufacturers, many of which have
substantially greater financial, technical and other resources than the Company;
the cyclical nature of the materials processing industry, which has historically
negatively affected the Company's sales of Microfluidizer equipment during
industry downturns and which could do so in the future; the availability of
additional capital to fund expansion on acceptable terms, if at all; and general
economic conditions.
