Microfluidics International Corporation hereby amends its Current Report
on Form 8-K dated August 14, 1998 ("Current Report") by amending Items 7(a) and
(b) to include the financial statements and proforma financial information
required thereby. As amended, Items 7(a) and (b) are set forth below in their
entirety.

<PAGE>
ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS
On August 14, 1998 (the "Closing Date"), Microfluidics International
Corporation ("MFIC"), a Delaware corporation, purchased substantially all of the
assets (the "Transferred Assets") and assumed certain liabilities of Epworth
Manufacturing Company of South Haven, Michigan ("Epworth") and Morehouse-COWLES,
Inc. of Fullerton, California ("Morehouse", and together with Epworth, the
"Sellers") pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of
June 19, 1998 by and among MFIC, Epworth and Morehouse. Messrs. J.B. Jennings
and Bret A. Lewis are the sole stockholders of both Epworth and Morehouse (the
"Principals"). Epworth and Morehouse each manufactures and distributes a product
line of crushing/grinding, mixing, dissolving and dispersion systems for solid
or solids materials processing that are marketed together under the EMCO U.S.A.
trade name. MFIC intends to continue the operations of Epworth and Morehouse,
each as a separate division of MFIC, and to continue the use of the Transferred
Assets to manufacture and distribute crushing/grinding, mixing, dissolving and
dispersion systems. The Transferred Assets included cash and cash equivalents,
accounts and notes receivables, inventories, machinery and equipment,
intellectual property rights, furniture and fixtures and leasehold interests and
improvements.
In accordance with the Agreement, MFIC paid or delivered to the Sellers
the following as consideration for the purchase price of the Transferred Assets
(the "Purchase Price"): (i) $5,508,480 in cash, (ii) two subordinated promissory
notes in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (the "Promissory Notes"),
and (iii) 900,000 shares of MFIC's restricted common stock, $.01 par value per
share, subject to the restrictions set forth in a Stockholders Agreement among
MFIC and the Principals dated August 14, 1998 (the "Stockholders Agreement").
MFIC also incurred approximately $500,000 in expenses. In addition, MFIC assumed
approximately $1,930,000, which amount was comparable to the accounts payable
and accrued liabilities set forth on the Sellers' balance sheets as of December
31, 1997 (the "Assumed Liabilities"), certain of which were also paid on the
Closing Date. The consideration paid by MFIC for the Transferred Assets was
determined through arms-length negotiations between MFIC and the Sellers.
The Agreement provides that the Purchase Price may be subject to a post-
closing reduction based upon the comparison of (a) the net book value of the
Transferred Assets less the Assumed Liabilities as of September 30, 1998 as
reflected on the unaudited balance sheet of MFIC to (b) the net book value of
the Transferred Assets less the Assumed Liabilities as of June 30, 1998 as
reflected on the audited balance sheets of the Sellers.
MFIC paid $1,897,509 from its working capital and borrowed $4,096,050.44
from Comerica Bank, its primary lender, in order to finance the purchase and
payoff certain of the Assumed Liabilities. The revolving loan, security and
ancillary agreements with Comerica Bank (the "Revolving Loan Agreement") provide
up to $5,000,000 in loans with monthly interest payments and the outstanding
principal amount due on September 1, 2001. The line of credit
3
<PAGE>
expires on September 1, 2001. The current outstanding principal balance under
the Revolving Loan Agreement is $4,096,050.44 and bears interest at a rate of
7.625% per annum.
Effective on the Closing Date, MFIC expanded its Board of Directors from
four to six members and appointed the Principals to fill the resulting
vacancies. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, MFIC
agreed to use reasonable efforts to cause the nomination of the Principals as
directors of MFIC at the 1999 annual meeting of its shareholders. Thereafter,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement, MFIC agreed to
use its reasonable efforts to continue to support the nomination of the
Principals as directors of MFIC at subsequent annual meetings of its
shareholders.
Mr. Jennings will be the president of the MFIC's newly created Morehouse-
COWLES Division and Mr. Lewis will be the president of MFIC's newly created
Epworth Mill Division.
The description contained herein of the transaction is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the Agreement (Exhibit 2), Stockholders Agreement
(Exhibit 4), Promissory Notes (Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2) and press release
(Exhibit 99.3), copies of which are attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Stockholders of
Epworth Manufacturing Company, Inc. and
Morehouse - Cowles, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Epworth
Manufacturing Company, Inc. and Morehouse - Cowles, Inc. (collectively, the
"Company"), both of which are under common ownership and common management, as
of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the related combined statements of income,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the combined financial position of the Company at December 31, 1997
and 1996, and the combined results of its operations and its combined cash flows
for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

EPWORTH MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. AND
MOREHOUSE - COWLES, INC.
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION - The accompanying combined financial statements
include the balance sheets, statements of income, shareholders' equity, and
cash flows of Epworth Manufacturing Company, Inc. ("Epworth") and
Morehouse -Cowles, Inc. ("Morehouse") (collectively, the "Company"). Both
companies have common ownership and, accordingly, the two companies have
been combined in the accompanying financial statements. All significant
intercompany balances have been eliminated.
ACQUISITION - On June 15, 1996, the shareholders of Epworth acquired all of
the outstanding stock of Morehouse from Summa Industries for approximately
$2,410,000, net of cash acquired. The purchase price, which approximated
historical book value, was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed using estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
The accompanying financial statements include the results of operations of
Morehouse from the date it became part of the combined group (date of
acquisition). For the period January 1, 1996 to June 15, 1996, Morehouse
had net sales and gross profit of approximately $2,900,000 and $809,000,
respectively.
BUSINESS - The Company manufactures and distributes machinery and equipment
used for mixing, dispersion and/or particle size reduction of solids used
by chemical processing industries, foods, pharmaceuticals, paints, inks or
other coating applied to a substrate. In addition, the Company sells
grinding media used in the equipment that it manufactures.
INVENTORIES - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with
cost being determined on the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method.
CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK - The Company's financial instruments that
are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and
trade accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit
accounts at high credit quality financial institutions. The balances, at
times, may exceed federally insured limits. The Company routinely assesses
the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes
that its trade accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited.
USE OF ESTIMATES - The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and
disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
10
<PAGE>
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
EQUIPMENT AND LEASEHOLD IMPROVEMENTS - Equipment and leasehold
improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated primarily
by use of the straight-line method of depreciation based on the
estimated useful lives of the fixed assets, ranging from three to
fifteen years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability
of equipment and leasehold improvements based upon estimated future
cash flows.
OTHER ASSETS - Other assets, and the related lives over which they are
amortized, include goodwill (15 years), noncompete agreement (2
years), patents and other (15 years), and loan commitment fees (5
years).
INCOME TAXES - The Company, with the consent of its shareholders, has
elected to be an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code.
Instead of paying corporate income taxes, the stockholders of an S
Corporation are taxed individually on their proportionate share of the
Company's taxable income. Therefore, no liability for federal income
taxes has been included in the combined balance sheets. State income
taxes are provided based on statutory rates.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107, "Disclosures About Fair Value
of Financial Instruments," requires disclosure of the fair value of
certain financial instruments. The carrying amounts of cash, accounts
receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair
value because of their short-term nature. The carrying amounts of the
Company's amounts due to shareholders and borrowings under lines of
credit approximate fair value. Advances due from shareholders are
noninterest bearing.
2. PRO FORMA INCOME STATEMENT INFORMATION
PRO FORMA NET INCOME - The pro forma income statement information
reflects what the effects on historical net income would have been if
the Company had not elected to be taxed as a Subchapter S Corporation.
The adjustments include a provision for state and federal income taxes
at an effective rate of approximately 40%, as if the Company was
subject to such taxes.
