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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales for the first quarter ended June 30, 1996 increased by $1,241,000, or 8%,
from sales in the first quarter of the prior year due to increased sales of 
Renatrons-Registered Trademark-, reprocessing supplies, dialyzers and water 
treatment products.  

Net sales by product group are summarized on the following table:


(in thousands)                           Three Months Ended June 30
                                          ------------------------

                                          --------        --------
Dialysis supplies and devices              $ 4,770        $ 4,960

                                          --------        --------
                                           $16,685        $15,444
                                          --------        --------
                                          --------        --------

Gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 was $7,302,000, or 43.8% of net
sales, compared to $6,291,000, or 40.7% of net sales, for the first quarter last
year.  Increased gross margin was due primarily to improved efficiencies in
manufacturing.

Research and development expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 totaled
$834,000, or 5.0% of sales, compared to $754,000, or 4.9% of sales, in the first
quarter one year ago.  The Company expects total research and development
expenses for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1997 to be approximately 6% of
sales.  

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 
1996 were $4,092,000, or 24.5% of sales, compared to $3,579,000, or 23.2% of 
sales, in the first quarter one year ago.  Selling, general and 
administrative expenses have increased due to expansion of sales, expenses 
associated with the year-end audit and implementation of an MIS system, and 
expanded marketing efforts in Europe and Japan.  

The Company's effective income tax rate was 41.7% in the quarter ended June 30,
1996 compared to a rate of 36.0% in the first quarter of the prior year.  The
increased effective tax rate was due to foreign subsidiary operating losses 
which were not deductible as of June 30, 1996.

The Company reported net earnings of $1,290,000, or 7.7% of sales, for the
quarter ended June 30, 1996 compared to earnings of $1,193,000, or 7.7% of
sales, in the first quarter one year ago.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1996, the Company had $2,364,000 of cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, a decrease of $2,854,000 from the balance at March 31,
1996.  Working capital at June 30, 1996 was $22,714,000 compared to $22,128,000
at March 31, 1996.  The decrease in cash in the first quarter was due to a
build-up of finished goods and increased raw material inventories to meet 
ramped up production.  The Company's current ratio at June 30, 1996 was 4.4 to 
1 compared to 4.2 to 1 at March 31, 1996.  


                                     Page 7
<PAGE>

The Company acquired $1,667,000 of capital equipment during the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 and expects to invest approximately $3,500,000 in capital
equipment for the full fiscal year.

The Company believes that it may require borrowing to meet working capital 
needs in fiscal year 1997.  Cash expended to ramp up production may exceed 
cash flow from operations in the second quarter.
