1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  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 August 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that may be expected for the year ended May 31, 1997.  For further 
information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes 
thereto included in the Company's annual report on form 10-K for the year 
ended May 31, 1996.  Revenues from product sales are recognized at the time 
of shipment.


2.  Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market:

3.  Net income per common share:

of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the 
respective periods.  There is no significant difference between primary and 
fully diluted per share amounts.

ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
   Results of Operations.

Financial Condition and Liquidity:
 
     As of August 31, 1996, the Company's cash position totaled $19,994,460.  
During the three months ended August 31, 1996, the Company repaid an 
additional $335,098 (500,000 DM) of bank debt in Germany.

     The Company is completing a facilities expansion at its US offices in 
Norcross, Georgia. The expansion provides an additional 10,000 square feet 
of manufacturing, laboratory and office space which should be finished by 
December 1996.  Planned expenditures include leasehold improvements and 
furnishings totaling approximately $900,000.  

     Management believes that the Company's current cash balance, internally 
generated funds, and amounts available under the lines of credit are 
sufficient to support operations for the foreseeable future.  Management also
believes additional credit lines would be available should the need arise.

Results of Operations:

Net sales

     Net sales for the three months ended August 31, 1996 totaled $7,956,900 
versus $7,475,900 in the comparable prior year three month period.  Most of 
the increase is due to higher sales activity in the Company's European 
operations.

Gross profit

     As a percent of sales, gross profit for the three months ended August 31, 
1996 totaled 60.6% versus 63.1% last year.  The decline in gross profit margin 
was principally caused by the Company's decision to focus on obtaining large 
national accounts at lower margins in an effort to increase market share 
longer term. 

Operating expenses

    As compared to last year, contract research and development costs declined 
$115,000.  During the current year period, two ABS2000 automated analyzers 
previously expensed as research and development were sold to the Company's 
Canadian distributor, and the sale ($70,000) was recorded as a reduction of 
current year research and development costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period 
ended August 31, 1996 increased $512,200 over the same period last year.   As
reported in previous periods, the Company has increased expenditures 
significantly in selling, marketing and advertising, including increased 
marketing and trade show costs, higher advertising and production promotion 
costs, and sales staff additions.

Interest expense
 
    Interest expense declined $38,600 in the current year three month period 
as compared to last year.   This decline was due to the Company reducing its 
outstanding principal loan balance as compared to last year.

Provision for income taxes

     The effective tax rate increased in the current year's quarter versus 
last year because of the need to provide for income taxes on increased profits 
in Germany which are taxed at higher rates than income is taxed in the United 
States.
