MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's
condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The
discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated
financial statements and notes thereto.

Results of Operations

Sales
- -----
Revenues for the three months ended April 30, 1999 were $978,932 compared with
$954,692 for the three months ended April 30, 1998. Revenues for the nine months
ended April 30, 1999 were $3,725,308 compared with $3,701,614 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1998.

Cost of Sales
- -------------
Cost of sales for the three months ended April 30, 1999 were $446,322, or 46% of
sales, compared with $576,976, or 60% of sales, for the three months ended April
30, 1998. Cost of sales for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 were
$2,145,315, or 58% of sales, compared with $2,247,143, or 61% of sales, for the
nine months ended April 30, 1998. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage
of sales was the result of selling a used CYP Machine during the three months
ended April 30, 1998.

Operating Expenses
- ------------------
Operating expenses were $587,451 for the three months ended April 30, 1999
compared with $594,452 for the three months ended April 30, 1998. Operating
expenses were $1,830,311 for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 compared with
$1,745,432 for the nine months ended April 30, 1998. The increase in operating
expenses is a result of increased research and development expenses. The Company
has developed attachments that can be retrofitted to the CYP Machine and allows
more flexibility in the types of products produced.

Other Expenses
- --------------
Interest expense was $32,724 for the three months ended April 30, 1999 compared
with $2,175 for the three months ended April 30, 1998. Interest expense was
$63,121 for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 compared with $10,657 for the
nine months ended April 30, 1998. The increase in interest expense was due to
increased short-term borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's highly liquid assets (cash and cash equivalents) at April 30, 1999
aggregated $328,247, an increase from the $247,101 balance at July 31, 1998. Its
working capital position at April 30, 1999 of $1,566,468 decreased from the
comparable amount of $2,119,609 at July 31, 1998. The decrease in working
capital resulted from an increase in current liabilities of the Company during
the nine months ended April 30, 1999. At April 30, 1999, short-term debt totaled
$758,897 compared to $744 at July 31, 1998. The increase was a result of
acquiring two short-term loans, one due in August 1999 and the other due in
September 1999.

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended April 30, 1999 was
$334,817 compared to net cash used in operations of $1,998,414 for the nine
months ended April 30, 1998. The decrease in cash used in operations was a
result of more cash required in reducing reorganization liabilities in the prior
year. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $339,205 for the nine months
ended April 30, 1999 compared to $42,153 used in investing activities during the
nine months ended April 30, 1998. The increase was a result of the Company
manufacturing a 2 meter machine to be used as a sample machine in order to
provide potential customers with samples and a first hand look at a machine in
production. Net cash provided by financing was $755,168 during the nine months
ended April 30, 1999 compared to cash provided by financing activities of
$2,497,378 during the nine months ended April 30, 1998. During the nine months
ended April 30, 1999, the Company received proceeds of $1,150,000 from
short-term borrowings in order to meet cash needs. As of April 30, 1999, the
Company had available $250,000 on its line of credit.

The Company believes its current cash needs will be adequately provided from
anticipated cash generated from operations, short-term borrowings and its line
of credit. Long-term cash requirements, other than normal operating expenses,
depend on the Company's profitability, its ability to manage working capital
requirements, and its rate of growth.

Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------
The Company has conducted a review of its computer systems to identify the
systems that could be affected by the "year 2000 issue" and has substantially
developed an implementation plan to resolve such issues. The "year 2000 issue"
is the result of computer programs being written using two digits rather than
four to define the applicable year. Programs with this problem may recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000, resulting in system
failures or miscalculations. Although no assurance can be given, the Company
presently believes that with further modifications to existing software and
conversion to new software, the "year 2000 issue" will not pose significant
operational problems for the Company's computer systems as so modified and
converted and that the cost of such modifications and conversions will not have
a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

Forward-looking Statements for Purposes of "Safe Harbor" Under the Private
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Reform Act of 1995
- -----------------------------
The Company has made, and may continue to make, various forward-looking
statements with respect to its financial position, projected costs, projected
savings and plans and objectives of management. Such forward-looking statements
are identified by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as
"anticipates," "intends," "expects," "plans," "believes," "estimates," or words
or phrases of similar import. These forward-looking statements are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, and the statements looking
forward beyond the April 30, 1999 are subject to greater uncertainty because of
the increased likelihood of changes in underlying factors and assumptions.
Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the
forward-looking statements.

The applicable risks and uncertainties include general economic and industry
conditions that affect all international businesses, as well as matters that are
specific to the Company

                                       11

and the market it serves. Actual sales in Fiscal 1999 may be materially less
than the sales projected in the forward-looking statements if the Company's
customers cancel or delay current orders or reduce the rate at which the Company
is building or expects to build CYP machines for such customers. Such
cancellations, delays, or reductions may occur if there is a substantial change
in the general economy or if a customer were to experience major financial
difficulties. Margins may differ from those projected in the forward-looking
statements if management does not achieve success in improving margins or other
events occur that differ from the estimates used in preparing the Company's
financial statements.

In addition, all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements
attributable to the Company, or persons acting on behalf of the Company, are
expressly qualified in their entirety by reference to such factors.

The Company's forward-looking statements represent its judgement only on the
dates such statements are made. By making any forward-looking statements, the
Company assumes no duty to update them to reflect new, changed, or unanticipated
events or circumstances.
