                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

 Note 1  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in
         accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
         financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the
         information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
         principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
         management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
         considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
         Operating results for the six month period ended April 30, 1996 is not
         necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
         ended October 31, 1996. For further information, refer to the financial
         statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual
         report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 1995.

 Note 2  Earnings per common share are calculated based upon a weighted
         average of shares outstanding after giving effect to the preferred
         dividend requirements.

 Note 3  The preferred stock issued December 22, 1993 provided for an annual
         cumulative dividend to be paid on November 1, 1995. Management has
         determined that available funds would be more prudently utilized in its
         ongoing research and development efforts and as a result no accrual or
         payment of dividend will be made until such time as sufficient cash
         flows are generated from operations. Management intends to hold the
         dividend payable as of November 1, 1995, in arrears. No dividend was
         accrued for the year ended October 31, 1995. The amount that would have
         been accrued at October 31, 1995 if a dividend had been recorded, would
         have been $266,152 ($.16 per preferred stock share payable at November
         30, 1995 to holders of record 15 days prior to such date). No dividend
         has been accrued for the six month period ended April 30, 1996.) The
         amount that would have been accrued at April 30, 1996, if a dividend
         had been recorded, would have been approximately, $106,900 ($.16 per
         preferred stock share outstanding at that date).

Note 4   On December 3, 1993, the shareholders of the Company approved an
         amendment to the Company's certificate of incorporation increasing the
         authorized number of shares of common stock to 45,000,000 from
         25,000,000, increasing the authorized number of preferred stock to
         5,000,000 from 2,000,000 and reducing the par value of the preferred
         stock to $.01 per share from $10.00 per share.

         On December 22, 1993, the Company completed the issuance of 1,725,000
         units of its securities through a public offering, resulting in net
         proceeds of $2,838,454 after offering expenses. Each unit consists of
         one share of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and one Class A
         redeemable common stock purchase warrant. Each share of preferred stock
         is convertible into four shares of the Company's common stock and each
         Class A warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the
         Company's common stock for $1.00 and to receive one Class B redeemable

         common stock purchase warrant which entitles the holder to purchase one
         share of the Company's common stock for $1.50.

Note 5   Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
         standard requires the use of the liability method to recognize
         deferred income tax assets and liabilities, using expected future tax
         rates. The cumulative effect of adopting the standard and the effect
         of applying the standard on the operating statement for the period
         ended January 31, 1994 was zero. The tax effects of temporary
         differences that give rise to a deferred income tax asset, a
         corresponding valuation allowance and deferred tax liability at April
         30, 1996 and October 31, 1995 are presented below:

Note 5   (Continued)

         The Company entered fiscal 1996 with cumulative net operating loss
         carryforwards of approximately $3,310,000 for federal income tax
         purposes which expire in the years 2000 to 2010. As a result of a
         capital stock transaction in May 1989, a change in ownership, as
         defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, occurred. The
         effect of the change in ownership is to severely limit the future
         utilization of the net operating loss carryforward existing at that
         date.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of
              Financial Condition and Results of Operations


Fiscal 1996 Second Quarter and six months compared to Fiscal 1995 periods

        Net sales for the second quarter of Fiscal 1996 were approximately
$244,000, an increase of 44.7% from the approximately $168,700 in net sales in
the corresponding quarter of 1995. Sales for the six month period ended April
30, 1996 were approximately $442,600, an increase of 43.2% from the

approximately $309,100 in sales for the corresponding six month period of the
prior fiscal year. This increase in sales was a result of higher sales of
chemicals and scanner equipment; this increase more than offset a reduction of
revenues from repair and servicing of equipment, the latter resulting from the
fact that the new scanners require significantly less maintenance and servicing
than prior models. It is anticipated that the trend of decreased repair and
servicing sales will continue, as more new units are sold. Cost of sales
increased as a percentage of overall sales in the second quarter from 38.3% to
49.2%; this was due to the increase in cost of direct materials and in
consultants' fees and costs of production of molds to prepare for higher volume
production at lower cost in the manufacturing process for production of the
Company's new reduced-function low-cost scanner and document reader.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from
approximately $276,300 in the prior year's first quarter to approximately
$215,300 in the first quarter of Fiscal 1996 and from approximately $525,000 to
approximately $395,200 in the six month periods. These decreases were due to (i)
greatly decreased marketing and direct selling expenses incurred as a result of
the Company's emphasis on meeting with specific customers and potential accounts
rather than reliance upon general advertising, (ii) to the fact that legal and
other expenses in connection with patent applications were capitalized in the
current period due to the issuance of patents to the Company relating thereto,
while such items were treated as expenses in the corresponding period of Fiscal
1995. These decreases collectively acted to more than offset the increase in
sales commissions, directly tied into the increase in sales.

        Research and development expenses remained significant, though
decreasing somewhat to approximately $198,500 from approximately $268,800 in the
corresponding six months of Fiscal 1995, as the Company completed development of
a lower cost version of its scanner not encompassing all the features of its
current model and commenced design of a special semi-conductor chip designed to
"sweep" various components onto this chip and thereby lower manufacturing costs.

        The Company has been incurring expenses in an attempt to upgrade and
broaden its product line and its marketing capability. It recently completed
development of a miniaturized hand-held scanner and/or reader. It also has other
hardware items in development and has reformulated some of its chemical
compounds. In addition, Company executives and independent sales representatives
have visited a number of potential customers to educate them about the Company's
history and product lines. There can be no assurance, however, that such efforts
will result in increased sales or that such sales will result in profitability.

                                       9

<PAGE>

        Interest expense of $6,778 was less than the $8,041 of such expense in
the prior period. The Company was also able to generate interest income of
$34,926 as compared with interest income of $39,482 in the corresponding quarter
of Fiscal 1994.

        As a result of the foregoing, the Company incurred a net loss of
$180,746 before dividend requirements during the first six months of Fiscal 1996
as opposed to a net loss of $333,195 before dividend requirements for the first

six months of Fiscal 1995.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's primary need for cash is to support its programs and its
ongoing operating activities. The Company's primary sources of liquidity have
historically been cash provided by financing activities. The Company has never
generated sufficient cash flows from its operations and has depended upon
financing from outside sources to maintain itself. 

         On December 22, 1993 the Company consummated a public offering of its
securities consisting of 1,725,000 units. Each unit was comprised of one share
of 8% redeemable convertible preferred stock (convertible into four shares of
Common Stock) and one Class A redeemable common stock purchase warrant. The
Company received net proceeds of approximately $2,838,000 from such offering,
after underwriting discounts and commissions and other expenses of the offering.
The Company ultimately utilized approximately $382,000 of such proceeds to repay
outstanding loans to the underwriter and the Company's officers, directors and
stockholders. The Company anticipates that the proceeds of such public offering,
together with existing funds, will enable it to fund its operating and capital
needs through at least the end of its current fiscal year. The Company may
require additional financing after such time depending on the status of its
sales efforts and whether sufficient revenues and contractual commitments have
been received from its customers to enable it to function with sufficient
liquidity. The Company is not able at this time to predict the amount or
potential source of such additional funds and has no commitment to obtain such
funds.

        At the end of the second quarter of Fiscal 1996 as compared with the
status prevailing as at the end of the Company's fiscal year ended October 31,
1995: the Company had a net decrease in cash and short-term investments of
approximately $268,700 (primarily due to funding of operating losses as well as
the expenditure of approximately $27,000 on an "IBM Fourth Shift Network"
computer system to computerize accounting and inventory control functions), an
increase in trade accounts receivable of approximately $22,400 (owing to timing
of collections) and an increase in inventory of approximately $123,500 due to
stocking of the new reduced-feature model of scanner. As in Fiscal 1995, the
Company is continuing to pass upon the declaration of a dividend upon the
preferred stock in order to conserve available funds.

Federal Income Taxes

        Effective November 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes". The standard
requires the use of the liability method to recognize deferred income tax assets
and liabilities, using expected future tax rates.

        The Company has cumulative net operating loss carryforwards of
approximately $3,310,000 million for federal income tax purposes which expire
between the years 2000 to 2010. As a result of a capital stock transaction in
May 1989, a change in ownership, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code, occurred. The effect of the change in ownership is to severely
limit the future utilization of the net operating loss carryforward existing at
that date.

Other
         In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect
on the operations of the Company.
