                                   -----------


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 three month period ended January 31, 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 excludes 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 three month period ended January 31, 2000. The amount
         that would have been accrued at January 31, 2000 and 1999, if a
         dividend had been recorded, would have been $50,645 and $51,769
         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 three months ended January 31,
         2000. The preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $2.00 per
         share, an aggregate of $2,588,460.

Note 5   (continued)
         Securities that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in
         the future that were not included in the computation of diluted
         earnings per share above because to do so would have been antidulitive
         are as follows: convertible preferred stock (5,064,480 and 5,343,960
         shares at January 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively) .

Note 6   Earnings per common share are calculated based upon a weighted
         average of shares outstanding after giving effect to the preferred
         dividend requirements.

Note 7   The tax effects of the net operating loss carryforwards and temporary

         The company entered fiscal 2000 with cumulative net operating loss
         carryforwards of approximately $3,300,000 for federal income tax
         purposes which expire in the years 2000 to 2019.

Note 8   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.

Quarter-to-quarter revenue has improved from $236,844 to $291,242 representing
an increase of 23%. The Company has also returned to profitability by recording
a net income of $20,898 versus a net loss of $9,447 for the quarter ended in
October 31, 1999. This was 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.

Comparing to a year ago, same quarter results, we, obviously, still have some
distance to go. The difference rests with the loss of a key customer in the
second quarter of fiscal 1999. Recovering the major customer or securing the
postal project business should return the Company to a strong financial position
and back in a dynamic growth path.

We have increased R&D activities by introducing several new products including a
patent pending Money Checker that provides a simple and effective way to
authenticate the new US currency bills. Several new chemicals have been
developed for security as well as entertainment-leisure applications. We
continue to aggressively promote our Glow-Hard product line by courting
potential distributors and attending trade shows.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat in spite of
the extraordinary expenses associated with the year-end audit. The Management
believes the Company's cost control effort continues to be effective.

The decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents was mainly due to late billings. The
Management continues to believe that the Balance Sheet remains relatively strong
and there is sufficient liquidity to allow the Company to operate through at
least October 31, 2000, the end of its current fiscal year, and for some time
thereafter. Additionally, the Company has become debt free beginning January 1,
2000.

We have begun to see some activities in the long delayed postal business. Gross
margin should continue to improve if the postal project finally develops into a
steady business.

We continue to face potential increases in chemical inventory because of the
loss of a major customer and over purchase made early last fiscal year. We are
diligently attempting to reduce the exposure through price reduction and
aggressive promotion of those chemicals.

In general the Management believes the Company is making strong recovery from
the dismal performance in the last three quarters of fiscal year 1999. The
prospect of continuing to make improvements over the next several quarters
appears to be good. The Company is also making progress in regaining some
business from the major customer lost through new and genuine efforts in
excellent customer service and price reduction to become more competitive in the
market place.
