              Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1.     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
 have been prepared in accordance  with generally accepted accounting
 principles for interim financial  information and 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, 1997 are not necessarily
 indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending May 31,
 1998.  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, 1997.

2.     Inventories are stated at the lower of first-in, first-out cost or
 market:                      As of August 31, 1997     As of May 31, 1997

3.     Net income per common share:

       Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average
 number 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.

 Any statements contained herein that are not historical fact are forward-
 looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
 Reform Act of 1995, and involve risks and uncertainties. All forward-
 looking statements included in this document are based on information
 available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no
 obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.  Further risks are
 detailed in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
 Commission, including those set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
 for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1997.

Financial Condition and Liquidity:
 
     As of August 31, 1997, the Company's cash position totaled $15,219,700.
 During the three months ended August 31, 1997, the Company generated cash
 from operating activities of $372,500, and the Company used cash to 
 purchase property, plant and equipment of $465,900.

     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, 1997 totaled $9,273,500,
 an increase of 17% over last year's $7,956,900.  Current year results
 include $1,098,800 in net sales from the operations of Dominion Biologicals
 Limited acquired in December 1996.  Domestic sales increased $490,100, 10%
 over last year's total.  In addition, sales of the Company's European
 subsidiaries, recorded in their functional currencies, increased 13% over
 last year's total.  However, due to unfavorable rates of foreign exchange
 in Europe, when translated into U.S. dollars, European sales declined.

Gross profit

     As a percent of sales, gross profit for the three months ended
 August 31, 1997 totaled 58.5% versus 60.6% last year.  The decline in gross
 profit margin was principally caused by unfavorable rates of foreign
 exchange in Europe which increased the cost of goods purchased in U.S.
 dollars and sold in local currencies. 

Operating expenses

    As compared to last year, contract research and development costs
 increased $81,600.  In the prior 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 research and development costs.  No comparable offset
 of contract research and development occurred in the current year.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period
 ended August 31, 1997 increased $326,300 over the same period last year. 
 Most of the increase, $265,300, is due to the inclusion of Dominion  
 Biologicals Limited's operating results in the current year.  


Interest expense
 
    When compared to the prior year three month period, interest expense grew
 $111,200.  This increase is the result of the acquisition of Dominion
 Biologicals Limited which was financed with the proceeds of a bank loan and
 the issuance of subordinated promissory notes.

Income taxes

    As a percent of pretax income, income tax expense increased during the
 three month period ended August 31, 1997, principally due to the earnings of
 several of its foreign subsidiaries being subject to higher income tax rates 
 than the US tax rate.
