                                   (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 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 six month period ended April 30, 2000 is not necessarily
         indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
         October 31, 2000. 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, 1999.


Note 2   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 exclude any dilutive
         effects of stock options and convertible securities. Diluted earnings
         per share is 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 3   The preferred stock issued December 22, 1993 provided for an annual
         cumulative dividend to be paid on November 1st each year. 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 October 31, 1999 ($1,126,772) and 1998
         ($924,193), in arrears. No dividend was accrued for the years ended
         October 31, 1999 and 1998. The amount that would have been accrued at
         October 31, 1999 and 1998, if a dividend had been recorded, would have
         been $202,579 and $207,077, respectively ($.16 per preferred stock
         share outstanding at November 1, 1999 and 1998). No dividend has been
         accrued for the six month period ended April 30, 2000. The amount that
         would have been accrued at April 30, 2000 and 1999, if a dividend had
         been recorded, would have been $101,290 and $102,150 respectively.


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. The
         Class A purchase warrant expired on December 12, 1998. There were no
         preferred stock conversions for the six months ended April 30, 2000.
         The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $2.00 per share, an
         aggregate of $2,532,240.


Note 5   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
                      REGARDING 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," "plan," 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

Quarter-to-quarter revenue has improved from $291,242 to $434,201 representing
an increase of 49.1%. Comparing performance to the same period a year ago, we
saw an increase of $280,298 in revenue or 183.4% improvement. The Company has
also reported a net income of $137,931 versus a net loss of $70,844 for the
quarter ended in April 30, 1999. This is the second consecutive quarter that the
Company has shown a net profit. The financial results were accomplished under
the full impact of across the board major price reduction in all of our products
that have become effective on October 1, 1999. Although the revenue increase was
aided by a surge in the Postal project business, we believe the Company has
turned the critical corner.

Comparing to a year ago, the first six months performance showed an increase in
revenue of $156,846 or 27.6% and improvement in net income of $96,483 or 154.8%
before dividend. We saw improvements in all market segments and were very
pleased to see the Postal project business, although it was rather irregular and
unpredictable.

Gross margin also improved due to favorable mix of products shipped. We continue
to contain our administrative and discretional expenses while increasing our
spending in product promotion and R&D. Our cash, cash equivalent and short-term
investment positions remained steady at $915,498 and Account Receivable has been
strong at $205,839. Inventory situation was under control although we still face
excessive chemical inventory exposure due to the loss of a major customer last
year.

As indicated in Note 3 to these financial statements, no preferred dividend has
been accrued for the first two quarters of fiscal 2000 since management has
determined to conserve available funds and maintain the Company's liquidity in
light of its needs to continue development and marketing expenditures. With good
liquidity and steady revenue stream, we do not anticipate a need to seek outside
financial sources and expect to operate at least through October 31, 2000, the
end of the current fiscal year with the existing funds at hand. We do plan on
investing heavily in the coming quarters in new product introduction and
promotion.

We continue to increase our R&D activities by preparing to commercialize the
MoneyChecker(TM) product line. We have been very pleased by the initial
responses from potential customers and expect to begin shipping to beta sites in
the coming Quarter. We have also successfully developed a true mobile UV scanner
that operates with a single 9V battery. We plan on demonstrating them to
potential customers in the coming Quarters. The GlowHard(TM) products received a
resounding reception in the last National Flooring Show in April. We have been
encouraged by the prospects of our new products although there is no guarantee
that we would be successful commercially in the end.
