Interest and other (income) of $3,824 were 76% lower in the quarter ended June
30, 1995 than in the quarter ended June 30, 1994. Interest and other expense
(income) of $5,666 for the six months ended June 30, 1995 were 108% lower than
in 1994. The reduction in the quarter ended June 30, 1995 and for the six months
ended June 30,1995 is due to lower interest income and fewer gains on the sale
of assets in 1995 compared to 1994.

As a result of all the above factors, the Company reported a net loss for the
quarter ended June 30, 1995, of $368,346, which is a 14% decrease from the
$429,124 loss reported for the quarter ended June 30, 1994. The loss per share
declined to $0.13 per share in 1995 from $0.16 per share in 1994, principally as
a result of lower operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and short-term investments increased $584,170 during the second quarter to
a balance of $613,611 at June 30, 1995. The increase is mainly attributable to
the funds received from a private placement offering of the Company's
Convertible Preferred Stock. During the second quarter, the Company sold 500,000
shares of convertible stock for $1,500,000. The non-dividend yielding shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock are first convertible into an equivalent number of
shares of registered Common Stock on March 31, 1996. Holders of shares of
Convertible Preferred Stock also received a warrant to purchase, at $5.00 per
share, one (1) share of Common Stock for each three (3) shares of Convertible
Preferred Stock held.

The Company intends to apply the net proceeds of the private placement to
accelerate product development, to finalize its IDE clinical studies required to
obtain FDA approval in the United States, to conduct its clinical feasibility
studies targeting additional medical applications of its spectroscopic
technology, to expand the scope of its international and future domestic sales
and marketing activities and for general corporate purposes, including working
capital.

Management believes the Company has sufficient resources to satisfy its minimum
cash requirements through March 31, 1996. However, the Company will seek to
raise additional funds during such period to satisfy the longer-term
requirements of the Company's business plan and for other prudent business
reasons.
