ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations:
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 ended
December 31,1998 were $134,128, a decrease of 71% from the
third quarter of fiscal 1998. The third quarter revenues of
fiscal 1999 are also down 46% as compared to the second
quarter of fiscal 1999. Revenues for the first three quarters
of fiscal 1999 are down 65% as compared to the first three
quarters of fiscal 1998. The decrease in revenues can be
attributed to a shift in work from government contracts to
internal research and development. The Company continues to
devote personnel toward product development associated with
the Aberdeen facility.
For the third quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company
incurred a net loss of $616,980 as compared to a net loss of
$331,694 in the third quarter of fiscal 1998. For the first
nine months of fiscal 1999, the Company incurred a loss of
$1,755,353 as compared to a loss of $539,445 for the first
nine months of fiscal 1998. The Company's increased loss for
the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1999, as
compared to the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal
1998 is mainly due to decreased revenues. Significant
quarterly losses are expected in the next quarter. Quarterly
losses will continue until the Company receives sufficient
revenues from sales of its new products.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company's cash balance at December 31, 1998 is
$3,532,075 compared to $5,184,215 at March 31, 1998. The
decrease in cash during the first nine months ended December
31, 1998 is attributable primarily to the decreased revenues
and increased losses incurred in the first nine months of
fiscal 1999. The Company believes it has sufficient cash to
sustain operations through the end of fiscal 1999 and beyond.
However, if sales of products do not increase, the Company
may need to seek additional funding for operations. There can
be no assurance that such funding will be available on terms
favorable to the Company if at all.

Forward-looking statements contained herein are made pursuant
to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements are based
upon the Company's current expectations and judgments about
future developments in the Company's performance and may be
affected by several factors, including, without limitation,
delays in or increased costs of production, delays in or
lower than anticipated sales of the Company's new products,
and other factors discussed from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no
obligation to update such statements to reflect actual
events.
Year 2000 Issues:
The Company continues to assess the impact of the Year 2000
issues on its reporting systems and operations. To date, the
Company has requested and received confirmations regarding
Year 2000 compliance from its major suppliers and principal
financial institutions, and believes that these entities will
be ready. The Company has updated its accounting software for
year 200 compliance and believes there will be no disruption
to its normal operations at the turn of the century. The
Company has spent approximately $5,000 on the year 2k issue
and believes this will be the total costs expensed. The
Company may develop a contingency plan in the event either it
or its various business partners encounters problems.
