                   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 three months ended March 31, 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
 
     Three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $1,494,460, as compared
to revenues of $1,586,527 in the corresponding period last year, representing a
decrease of $92,067, or 5.8%. Revenues were lower in the first quarter of 1996
than in the same period in 1995 due to one less lab system being sold. Foreign
sales were $729,856 for the period ended March 31, 1996, compared to
approximately $780,000 for the period ended March 31, 1995, a decrease of
$50,144, or 6.4%.

Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1996 increased to
$731,181, or 49% of revenue, as compared to $694,118 or 44% of revenue for the
same period last year. 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 March 31, 1996 were $651,215, as
compared to $887,573 for the same period last year, a decrease of $236,358 or
26.6%. Research and Development expenses decreased by $61,196, mainly due to a
reduction in payroll and related expenses of approximately $24,000 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 $158,000
due to a conscientious effort by management to more efficiently allocate funds.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $17,231, or 7.0%.

Interest income remained essentially the same: $22,975 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, and $22,831 for the period ended March 31, 1995.

The Company received other income of $12,503 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 from royalty income of $4,168 per month due to the sale of its'
Dermasome(R) product line in December, 1995.

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

The Company had a backlog of $507,500 and $31,561 at March 31, 1996 and 
March 31, 1995, respectively, consisting of purchase commitments for
Microfluidizer(R) equipment.

2.   LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The cash and cash equivalents balance of the Company was $2,336,484 at March 31,
1996, an increase of $433,066 from the December 31, 1995 balance of $1,903,418.
The increase in cash and cash equivalents were principally the result of the
decrease in inventories and an increase in accounts payable. 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
(i)$750,000 or (ii)80% of the domestic accounts receivable less than 60 days
old. As of April 30, 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 contains 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 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.
