                          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 nine month period ended July 31, 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, 1996.

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 nine month period ended July 31, 1996. The amount that would have
          been accrued at July 31, 1996, if a dividend had been recorded, would
          have been approximately $167,000 ($.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

Note 4 (Continued)

          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.

          The following conversions of preferred stock for common stock have
          occurred during the period ended July 31, 1996 as follows:

          The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share,
          an aggregate of $3,002,570.

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 July
          31, 1996 and October 31, 1995 are presented below:

          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 year 2000 to 2010. As a result of a
          capital stock transaction in May 1989, a change in ownership, as
          defined by Section 392 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 Third Quarter and Nine Months compared to Fiscal 1995 periods

     Net sales for the third quarter of Fiscal 1996 were approximately $175,700,
a decrease of 57.6% from the approximately $415,200 in net sales in the
corresponding quarter of 1995. This decrease covered both chemicals and scanner
equipment, and resulted from the absence of a major sales order in this quarter,
especially in light of significant sales made in the corresponding quarter of
Fiscal 1995 to a postal contractor for the U.S. Postal Service certified mail
label printing project. The Postal Service and this contractor continue to
utilize both hardware and chemicals made by the Company and the Company is
seeking additional orders from them. Sales for the nine month period ended July
31, 1996 were approximately $618,300, a decrease of approximately 14.6% from the
approximately $724,300 in sales for the corresponding nine month period of the
prior fiscal year. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of overall sales in
the year-to-year third quarter from 23% to 64%; this was due to the lower sales
base over which to spread fixed costs, the loss of certain economies of scale
realizable by higher production rates, and higher engineering costs to
facilitate production of new products. Cost of sales for the nine month
comparative periods increased for these same reasons.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased from approximately
$233,400 in the prior year's third quarter to approximately $222,800 in the
third quarter of Fiscal 1996 evidencing, among other things, the reduction in
payment of sales commissions.

     Net interest income of approximately $15,900 for the third quarter of
Fiscal 1996 was slightly less than the net interest income of $19,900 for the
third quarter of the preceding fiscal year due to reduced capital available for
investment; however, net interest income for the nine month period in Fiscal
1996 equalled $50,800, only a slight decrease from the $59,350 of net interest
income for the first nine months of Fiscal 1995, since the effect of lesser
funds to invest was partially offset by higher interest rates.

     As a result of the foregoing, the Company generated a net loss of
approximately $147,000 before dividend requirements during the third quarter of
Fiscal 1996 and a net loss of $327,800 before dividend requirements for the
first nine months of Fiscal 1996, as opposed to a net profit of $101,500 and net
loss of $231,700, respectively, for the corresponding periods of Fiscal 1995,
again before dividend requirements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At the end of the third quarter of Fiscal 1996, as compared with the status
as at October 31, 1995, the Company had a net decrease in cash and short term
investments of approximately $492,200 (primarily due to funding of operating
losses), a decrease in trade accounts receivable of $18,600 (owing to timing of
collections), an increase in inventory of $202,700 (as the Company readies for
commercial production of its broader range of readers and chemical formulations)
and a decrease in prepaid expenses of $50,400 largely resulting from a reduction
in the amount of advances paid to manufacturing suppliers for future deliveries.
It is anticipated that the Company will continue to experience a decrease in
cash and short term investments unless and until more substantial sales revenues
are generated. As indicated in Note 4 to these financial statements, no dividend
has been accrued for the first nine months of Fiscal 1996 since management has
determined to conserve available funds and maintain the Company's liquidity in
light of its needs to continue developmental and marketing expenditures referred
to hereinabove.

     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 next 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.

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 tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred income
tax assets, a corresponding valuation allowance and deferred tax liabilities at
July 31, 1996 and October 31, 1995 is presented below.

     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.
