3. Notes Payable and Long Term Debt:

     Since the filing of the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K,  the Company
has  increased  its  borrowings  under the Nutek  working  capital  facility  by
$291,104 and increased the term loan by an additional $100,000.

4. Commitments and Contingencies:

     In  October  1996,  the  Company  terminated  its  agreement  with a public
relations  firm and  cancelled  1,300,000  options held by the public  relations
firm. The matter is presently in dispute.  The probability or amount of any loss
to the Company cannot be determined at this time.

5. Shareholders' Equity:

Options and Warrants
- --------------------

     As of June 30,  1997,  the Company  had  3,205,500  options  and  1,275,836
warrants  outstanding at exercise  prices ranging from $0.55 to $2.00 which,  if
exercised, would generate proceeds to the Company of $4,821,386.

6. Earnings per Share:

     Earnings  per  share is  computed  by  dividing  net  income or loss by the
weighted  average  number of common and common  equivalent  shares  (options and
warrants) outstanding during the period. Options and warrants which are dilutive
are included as common  equivalents under the treasury stock method,  unless the
dilutive options and warrants would, if exercised,  generate proceeds sufficient
to repurchase more than 20% of the Company's  outstanding common stock at market
prices,  in which case the modified  treasury stock method  applies.  During the
quarter  ended June 30,  1997,  there  were not  sufficient  number of  dilutive
options and warrants to cause application of the modified treasury stock method.

7. Non-cash Transactions:

     In June 1996 the Company's  subsidiary Logan Medical Services,  Inc. issued
$300,000 in notes to the former shareholders of Logan Research Limited,  and the
Company  exchanged  600,500  options for the  1,201,000  shares of Logan Medical
Services it did not already own, in connection  with the  acquisition of LMD and
LRL.

Item 2.           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULT OF OPERATIONS

General

     The  Company  designs,   manufactures  and  markets  automated   continuous
monitoring instruments used to detect and measure various types of air pollution
through its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Dasibi Environmental Corp ("Dasibi").  The
Company  currently  derives the  majority of its revenue  from sales of Dasibi's
instruments and their replacement parts, referred to as the "core business".

     The Company designs, manufactures and markets electrical control panels for
automation  use in  utility,  pulp and paper mill and various  other  industrial
process applications through its wholly-owned subsidiary,  Nutek, Inc. ("Nutek")
and currently derives approximately 30% of its revenue from Nutek sales.

     The  Company  designs,  manufactures  and markets  medical  instrumentation
through its wholly owned  subsidiary,  Logan Medical Devices,  Inc.  ("LMD"),  a
start-up  company  applying the  Company's  technology  to  non-invasive  asthma
diagnostics.  The Company currently derives approximately 5% of its revenue from
medical sales.

     The  Company's  future  operating  results  may be  affected by a number of
factors,  including:  uncertainties  relative  to  global  economic  conditions;
industry factors; the availability and cost of components; the Company's ability
to develop,  manufacture and sell its products profitably; the Company's ability
to  successfully  increase its market share in its core business while expanding
its product base into other markets; the strength of its distribution  channels;
and the Company's  ability to  effectively  manage  expense  growth  relative to
revenue growth in anticipation of continued pressure on gross margins.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net revenues  increased 26% from  $3,559,000  during the  six-month  period
ended June 30, 1996 to  $4,488,000  during the  six-month  period ended June 30,
1997,  primarily  as a result of the  acquisition  of Nutek,  Inc. in June 1996.
However,  core business revenues declined 30% for the three month period because
of  fewer  instrument  orders  obtained  in  an  escalating   competitive  price
environment. Gross margin declined from 38% to 19% for the six month period, and
from 34% to 7% for the  three  month  period,  primarily  due to three  factors.
First,  Nutek is  operating at a lower gross  margin of 23%,  secondly,  because
Dasibi is operating  at lower  margins of 21% due to ongoing  competitive  price
pressures,  and finally, due to the write off of possible obsolete inventory for
both Nutek and Dasibi.

     Selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses  increased  $487,000  from
$825,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 to  $1,311,000  in the six months
ended June 30, 1997 and  increased  $235,000 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, primarily due to the full inclusion
of Nutek in the Company's business.

     Research and development  expenditures  declined $57,000 and $25,000 during
the six month and  three  month  periods,  respectively,  due to cost  reduction
measures, which included the closure of the Company's Texas R&D facility.

     As a result of the  foregoing  factors,  none of the  subsidiaries  reached
"break-even"  revenues,  and net income  decreased  $1,103,000 for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1997 over the same period in 1996, and decreased  $845,292
for the three month period over the comparable period of the prior year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources.

     The Company has  historically  financed its growth and cash needs primarily
through borrowings, and the public and private sales of its securities.

     During the six months ended June 30,  1997,  operations  generated  all but
$204,000 of the cash needs of the Company.  An additonal  $162,000 was generated
through  borrowings  under the Nutek line of credit and term loan. This resulted
in a decrease in cash of $48,000.

     Working capital at June 30, 1997 was approximately  $2,500,000,  a decrease
of $700,000  from the previous  quarter.  This  decrease is due primarily to the
loss from operations arising as a result of the lower production levels.

     As of June 30, 1997,  Nutek had  borrowings  of $515,997  under its line of
credit which has a maximum of the lesser of $1,000,000 or the borrowing base (as
defined in the loan  agreement).  Dasibi renewed its line of credit with a bank,
which provides for borrowings of up to $200,000 through June 3, 1998. As of June
30, 1997, Dasibi had borrowed  $200,000 under this agreement,  $190,000 of which
was outstanding at July 30, 1997.

     The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures as of June
30, 1996. The Company  believes it will be able to meet its current  obligations
with funds generated from operations and the existing credit  facilities  during
the next twelve months.

Inflation

     The Company  believes that  inflation has not had a material  impact on its
business.

Seasonality

     The Company does not believe that its business is seasonal.
