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 of 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, 1998 are not necessarily
         indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
         October 31, 1998. 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, 1997.


Note 2   Net income per common share is 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, 1996, in arrears. No dividend was
         accrued for the year ended October 31, 1997. The amount that would have
         been accrued at October 31, 1997, if a dividend had been recorded,
         would have been $213,758 ($.16 per preferred stock share outstanding at
         November 1, 1996). No dividend has been accrued for the nine month
         period ended July 31, 1998. The amount that would have been accrued at
         July 31, 1998, if a dividend had been recorded, would have been
         $156,082.


Note 4   In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") 
         issued Statement No. 128 "Earnings per Share." Statement No. 128
         replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted earnings per
         share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Unlike primary
         earnings per share, basic earnings per share excludes any dilutive
         effects of stock options and convertible securities. Diluted earnings
         per share are very similar to the previously reported fully diluted
         earnings per share. All earnings per share amounts for all periods have
         been presented, and where necessary restated to conform to Statement
         No. 128 requirements.

Note 5   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 shares 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.

         For the three months ended July 31, 1998, preferred stock conversions
         were as follows:

         The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share, an
         aggregate of $2,601,360.


Note 6   Patents included in the other assets section of the balance sheet are
         certain costs associated with patents, which are capitalized and
         amortized over the shorter of their statutory lives or their estimated
         useful lives using the straight-line method. The Company periodically
         evaluates the recoverability of these assets in accordance with
         Statement of Financial Standards No. 121 "Accounting for the Impairment
         of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of (SFAS
         #121)."

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

           SPECIAL CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARD FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS


Certain of the matters discussed under the caption "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" may constitute
forward-looking statements for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and as such may involve known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual
results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different
from future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate,"
"predict," "may," "should," and similar expressions are intended to identify
forward-looking statements. All written or oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company are expressly qualified as set forth herein.


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

NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1998 COMPARED TO NINE MONTHS ENDED JULY 31, 1997.

         Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1998 were approximately
$1,562,868, an increase of approximately 22.9% from the approximately $1,271,981
in net sales in the corresponding period of fiscal 1997. This increase was
primarily a result of significant sales of compounds for government security
application to a subcontractor of the United States Government in the second and
third quarters of fiscal 1998, which offset significantly lower net sales in the
first quarter of fiscal 1998 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1997. The
Company expects to receive orders from this customer on an on-going basis.
However, there can be no assurance that such orders will be forthcoming. Net
sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 exceed net sales in any quarter since
the Company's inception and increased approximately 66.7% from the third quarter
of fiscal 1997.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 7.2% from
$702,455 in the first nine months of fiscal 1997 to $651,916 in the
corresponding period of fiscal 1998. This decrease was primarily due to the
reduction of research and development expenditures as the Company approaches
completion of development of certain of its products.

         Due to the foregoing, the Company experienced a net income of $388,715
before dividend requirements in the first nine months of fiscal 1998 as compared
with net income of $134,933 before dividend requirements in the prior year's
comparable period. The Company's net income before dividend requirements in the
third quarter of fiscal 1998 increased $248,225, or 732.2% over the comparable
period in fiscal 1997. Continuing its policy of conserving cash to meet
operating requirements, the Company has declined to accrue a preferred stock
dividend for the periods in reference.

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. In the past the Company
has not been able to generate


                                       11

<PAGE>   12



significant cash flows from its operations and has had to depend upon financing
from outside sources to maintain itself.

        The Company had cash and cash equivalents, and investments of $534,751
at the end of the third quarter of fiscal 1998 as compared with $686,492 as at
the end of fiscal 1997, reflecting a decrease in these categories of $151,741,
or 22.1%. This decrease is primarily a result of the Company building up its
inventory to enable it to fulfill future orders by the subcontractor of the
United States government and making advances to suppliers of components. There
can be no assurance that such orders will be forthcoming. The Company
experienced an increase in trade accounts receivable of $314,477, or 235.4%, due
to significant sales on account of compounds to a United States Government
subcontractor in the second and third quarters of fiscal 1998. The Company's
inventories increased at the end of the third quarter by $270,344 or 42.4% as
compared to the end of fiscal 1997 for the reason described above. As indicated
in Note 3 to these financial statements, no preferred dividend has been accrued
for the first three quarters of fiscal 1998 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. The Company
anticipates that existing funds will enable it to fund its operating and capital
needs through at least October 31, 1998, the end of its current fiscal year, and
for some time thereafter. 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.
