ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
This report contains certain forward-looking statements and information
relating to the Company that are based on the beliefs of management as well as
assumptions made by, and information currently available to management. Such
statements reflect the current view of the Company respecting future events and
are subject to certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including the
risks and uncertainties noted throughout the document. Although the Company has
attempted to identify important factors that could cause the actual results to
differ materially, there may be other factors that cause the forward-looking
statements not to come true as anticipated, believed, projected, expected, or
intended. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or
should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ
materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, projected,
estimated, expected, or intended.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended September 30, 1999.
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1999 were $1,178,851 as
compared to $847,083 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $331,768 or
39%. This increase was primarily the result of medical sales which increased by
$301,250 to $395,250 for the three month period ending September 30, 1999 as
compared to laser medical sales of $94,000 during the same period of 1998.
Sales of laser products and services also increased by $30,518 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same period of 1998.
Cost of products sold increased from $721,585 for the three month period
ending September 30, 1998 to $964,747 for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $243,162 or 34%. However, as a percentage of net sales, cost of products
sold was 82% for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 85%
for the same period in 1998. The decrease in the percentage of cost of goods
sold was primarily the result of decreased labor costs and to a decrease in
material cost percentages on medical products.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 were $228,406 as compared to $249,919 for the same period in
1998, a decrease of $21,513 or 9%. The decrease in sales, general and
administrative expenses is a result of decreased legal, consulting and bad debt
expenses during the period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to the same
period of 1998. These decreases were partially offset by increased marketing
and advertising expenses during the same three month period.

================================================================================
<PAGE>
Research and development expenditures for the three months ended September
30, 1999 were $102,911 as compared to $106,689 for the same period in 1998, a
decrease of $3,778 or 4%.
Royalty expenses decreased from $14,262 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 to $11,576 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $2,686
or 19%.
Interest income and other revenue decreased from $3,800 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998 to $1,289 for the same period of 1999, a
decrease of $2,511 or 66%. Interest expenses increased to $2,825 for the three
month period ended September 30, 1999 as compared to no interest expense during
the same period of 1998.
The Company recognized a net loss for the three months ended September 30,
1999 of $130,325 or $.09 per share compared to a net loss of $241,572 or $.28
per share for the same period in 1998. This improvement was the result of
increased sales, a reduction in the cost of products sold and to decreases in
selling, general and administrative expenses during the three month period ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the same three month period in 1998.
Nine months ended September 30, 1999.
Net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were $3,025,502 as
compared to $2,368,491 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $657,011 or
28%. This increase was primarily the result of medical sales which increased by
$561,278 to $705,278 for the nine month period ending September 30, 1999 as
compared to $144,000 during the same period of 1998. Sales of laser products
and services also increased by $95,733 for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 as compared with the same period of 1998.
Cost of products sold increased from $2,135,243 for the nine month period
ending September 30, 1998 to $2,646,937 for the same period in 1999, an increase
of $511,694 or 24%. However, as a percentage of net sales, cost of products
sold was 87% for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to 90% for
the same period in 1998. The decrease in the percentage of cost of goods sold
was primarily the result of decreased labor costs and to a decrease in material
cost percentages on medical products.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999 were $821,971 as compared to $624,234 for the same period in
1998, an increase of $197,737 or 32%. This increase was due to increased
marketing and sales activities and to sales commissions due on medical sales.
Administrative expense increases were the result of non-recurring moving costs
incurred with the move to the Company's new facility.
Research and development expenditures for the nine months ended September
30, 1999 were $373,331 as compared to $376,349 for the same period in 1998, a
slight increase of $3,018 or 1%.

================================================================================
<PAGE>
Royalty expenses decreased from $34,431 for the nine months ended September
30, 1998 to $34,380 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $51 or less than
1%.
Interest income and other revenue decreased from $17,800 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 to $10,167 for the same period of 1999, a
decrease of $7,633 or 43%. Interest expenses increased to $4,160 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to no interest expense during the
same period of 1998.
The Company recognized a net loss for the nine months ended September 30,
1999 of $845,110 or $.59 per share compared to a net loss of $784,466 or $.90
per share for the same period in 1998. This difference was primarily the result
of the increased sales and marketing activities and to non-recurring relocation
costs.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
On September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $202,695 as
compared to $818,603 at December 31, 1998, a decrease of $615,908 or 75%. This
decrease was primarily a result of the operating losses incurred by the Company
during the first nine months of 1999. These losses were partially offset by the
purchase of Company stock from outside investors in the amount of $282,009
during the first nine months of 1999. Cash equivalents at September 30, 1999
were $159,321 compared to $531,734 on December 31, 1998, a decrease of $372,413
or 70%.
During the nine months ended September 30, 1999, the Company entered into
two lease agreements. One lease has a term of five years and the other lease
has a three year term. Total commitments for the two leases including interest
was $69,664. The Company has no other material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company is continuing to explore other sources for additional
capital but has not entered into any agreements for additional sources of
borrowing or capital other than that which has already been received through the
sale of common stock.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Company is aware of the issues associated with programming codes in
existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000) approaches. The Company
has completed the upgrading of its design engineering software and believes, but
can give no assurance, that this software is Year 2000 compliant. However, the
accounting and material management system is not compliant. The Company has
conducted preliminary research into a replacement accounting and material
system. The Company plans to acquire and implement a new system in the fourth
quarter 1999. If the new accounting and material management system is not
implemented as planned, the Company could be adversely affected beginning in the
year 2000 since many computer applications could fail.
