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

     The Company has financed  its  operating  requirements,  for the last three
years,  primarily  by the  issuance  of short  and long term  debt,  convertible
debentures  or  notes,  and the  sale of  common  shares,  $2,185,704  in  1995,
$6,816,833  in 1996 , and  $6,842,715  in 1997.  As of December  31,  1997,  the
Company has cash of approximately $220,000.

     On September 15, 1997 the Company  completed the  acquisition  of Caribbean
Medical Testing Center,  Inc. (CMT), which was effective as of June 2, 1997 with
the payment of $6,000,000 in cash and a note for $1,500,000  bearing interest at
10 1/2% per  annum  due July 17,  1998.  The  funding  for the  acquisition  was
obtained by the issuance of 3,100,000  shares of common stock and  $4,900,000 of
notes bearing interest at 9% per annum payable $175,000 a month for 28 months.

     As a result of the United States District  Court's decision on December 20,
1995,  the  Company's  license for Treo had been  terminated  and  therefore the
Company wrote-off assets associated with Treo as a discontinued  operation as of
September 30, 1995. On December 13, 1996 the Company's subsidiary, Biopharm Lab,
Inc.(the  distributor  of Treo),  filed a Chapter 7  Bankruptcy  Petition in the
United States District Court, Eastern District.

     The  Company  completed  its  acquisition  of a product  line  from  London
International US Holdings,  Inc. (LIUSH) which has previously generated sales in
excess of the Company's 1995 total sales and should generate substantial working
capital to the Company.  The cost of approximately  $3,600,000 was financed by a
combination  of Regulation S common stock sales,  and notes for $2,000,000 to be
paid over a number of years.  The  brands  acquired  have been on the market for
more  than ten years  each and are sold  under  the  names  Vaginex*,  Koromex*,
Koroflex*,  and Feminique*.  LIUSH is one of the largest condom manufacturers in
the  U.S.  and had  decided  to sell its  Feminine  Hygiene  brands  in order to
concentrate its efforts on its core business.

     In fiscal 1998 the Company  anticipates to expand its product line with the
addition of new items to the feminine  hygiene  subsidiary  (QHP).  A portion of
these new products  will be  manufactured  internally by  Biopharmaceutics.  The
Company also  anticipates  revenues  from CMT to increase as  negotiations  with
additional health care insurers are completed.

     The Company believes that the foregoing,  along with the additional capital
raised  through  September  30,  1997  will be  adequate  to meets  its  current
objectives.  All  sinking  fund  requirements  for the  Renaissance  convertible
debentures  were waived by the holder and  eliminated  in the  conversion of the
debentures  to a new series of  convertible  debentures on December 15, 1996. On
September 30, 1997, the  convertible  debentures  and all accrued  interest were
converted to common stock.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Sales for the quarter ended  December 31` 1997 of  $2,828,812  represent an
increase of 125% from sales of  $1,258,518  in the  comparable  quarter in 1996.
Sales for the  prior  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997  totaled  $3,479,760.
Revenues  from  the  CMT of  $1,688,932  represents  a 100%  increase  over  the
comparable  quarter  since  CMT was  acquired  in June  1997.  Sales of  generic
products  increased  9.1% to $518,389  compared  to  $474,983 in 1996.  Sales of
feminine  hygiene  products  decreased to $621,491 as compared with $ 783,535 in
the  comparable  quarter in 1996.  The  decrease  in sales was due to a shift in
product mix away from high volume low profit  products  to lower  volume  higher
profit products.

     Gross margins for the first  quarter were 48.19%  compared to 33.21% in the
same quarter in 1996. Gross margin for the prior quarter was 48.79%. Net profits
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998 were $401,715 or 14.2%  compared to $14,959
or 1.19% in 1997.  The  increase in both gross  margin and net profits  were due
primarily to the addition of CMT and higher gross profits on the product mix for
the generic and feminine hygiene product lines.
                               
     Selling,  general and administrative expenses increased to $605,865 in 1998
from  $295,349  in the first  quarter of 1998 due  primarily  to expenses in the
medical  testing  subsidiary  which did not exist in the  comparable  quarter of
fiscal year 1997. Advertising and selling expenses for the feminine hygiene line
increased over the same quarter in 1997.  Amortization of intangibles represents
goodwill  from the  medical  testing  center  acquired  in June  1997 as well as
trademarks  and trade names for the feminine  hygiene line which was acquired in
March 1996.

     Interest expense of $156,968  includes the financing of the medical testing
center  and the  feminine  hygiene  acquisitions.  Interest  for the  comparable
quarter   represented  only  the  feminine  hygiene  acquisition  and  debenture
obligations

PART II   Other Information

   Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

     Amswiss Scientific,  Inc.--Amswiss Scientific,  Inc. (Amswiss) commenced an
action against the Company in the U.S.  District Court for the southern district
of New York on December 16, 1996.  Amswiss  asserted a claim for an amount to be
ascertained  at trial,  but  believed  by  Amswiss  to be at least  two  million
dollars,  plus costs and attorney's fees arising from the alleged failure of the
Company  to file a  Registration  Statement  with the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission for certain  shares and warrants of the Company owned by Amswiss.  On
September 9, 1997 the Company entered into a settlement with Amswiss in the form
of cash and stock totaling $436,300. Payment was made by the issuance of 115,000
shares of common stock and $250,000  cash on November 15, 1997.  In addition the
Company issued two warrants to purchase  200,000 shares of common stock at $4.00
and $4.50 per share,  these warrants  expire in November 1998 and November 1999,
respectively, and replace existing warrants.

     On  November  14,  1997 the Company  settled an  administrative  proceeding
pending  before a  Regents  Review  Committee  of the New York  State  Education
Department.  The State Education  Department accepted the settlement by an order
dated  November 14, 1997 and a payment of $10,000 was made in December 1997. The
proceeding had been commenced to determine  whether or not the Company's license
to operate as a  pharmaceutical  manufacturer  in New York  should be revoked or
suspended, based on the Company's 1993 guilty plea in Federal Court on a variety
of charges related to ANDA filings with the Food and Drug Administration in 1988
and 1989. The Company's License remains in effect.
