ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Net sales for the quarter and nine months  ended March 31, 2000 of $1.6  million
and  $5.6  million  decreased  $274,000,   or  14.8%,  and  $153,000,  or  2.7%,
respectively,  compared  to the same  periods of fiscal  1999.  These  decreases
reflect the impact of the PhotoMed  sale offset by a higher sales order  backlog
in the current fiscal year carried over from fiscal 1999.

Net sales for the North  American  sales offices for the quarter and nine months
ended March 31, 2000 of $1.4  million and $4.0  million  increased  $72,000,  or
5.3%, and $63,000, or 1.6%,  respectively,  in comparison to the same periods in
fiscal  1999.  Net  sales  for the UK sales  office  for the same  periods  were
$164,000 and $811,000.  These amounts  reflect a decrease of $47,000,  or 22.3%,
and an increase  of  $51,000,  or 6.7%,  for the three and  nine-month  periods,
respectively. Net sales for PhotoMed for the quarter and nine months ended March
31, 1999 were $299,000 and $999,000, respectively.

Total  revenues  for the quarter  and nine  months  ended March 31, 2000 of $1.7
million and $5.8 million,  which  include net sales and other income,  decreased
$183,000,  or 9.8%,  and $27,000,  or 0.5%,  respectively,  compared to the same
periods of fiscal 1999. This performance  reflects impact of decreased net sales
resulting  from the PhotoMed sale and increased  other income.  Other income for
the quarter and nine months  ended  March 31, 2000 was  $109,000  and  $240,000,
respectively,  and  included  $103,000 of proceeds  from State of New Jersey tax
loss sale in the current  quarter.  Other income for the quarter and nine months
ended March 31, 1999 was $19,000 and $113,000, respectively.

Cost of  products  sold for the third  quarter of fiscal 2000 was  $764,000,  or
48.4% of net sales,  which  compares to $841,000,  or 45.4% of net sales for the
same period of fiscal 1999. This decrease of $77,000, or 9.2%, was primarily due
to the  PhotoMed  sale  offset by an  increase of the reserve for future loss of
inventory  value  against the same period in fiscal 1999.  Cost of products sold
for PhotoMed for the third quarter of fiscal 1999 was $196,000. Cost of products
sold for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 was $2.6 million,  or 48.0% of net
sales,  which  compares  to $2.5  million,  or 44.1% of net sales,  for the same
period of fiscal  1999.  This was an  increase  of  $146,000,  or 5.8%,  and was
primarily  due  to  increased  service  costs  and a  $129,000  increase  of the
aforementioned increase in inventory reserves.

Selling (including marketing),  general and administrative expenses of $580,000,
or 36.7% of net sales, for the third quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased  $215,000,
or 27.1%, in comparison to $796,000,  or 42.9% of net sales, for the same period
in fiscal 1999.  This decrease  resulted from $132,000 and $83,000  decreases in
selling and marketing,  and general and administrative  expenses,  respectively.
Selling and marketing  expenses for PhotoMed were $103,000 for the third quarter
of fiscal 1999.

For  the   nine-month   period  ended  March  31,  2000  selling,   general  and
administrative  expenses  of $2.1  million,  or  38.7% of net  sales,  decreased
$149,000,  or 6.5%,  from $2.3 million,  or 40.3% of net sales,  in fiscal 1999.
This  decrease  was  due  primarily  to  a  $143,000  decrease  in  general  and
administrative  expenses in  comparison  to the prior fiscal  year.  Selling and
marketing  expenses for PhotoMed  were  $309,000  for the  nine-month  period of
fiscal 1999.

March 31, 2000 were $153,000,  or 9.7% of net sales and $460,000, or 8.3% of net
sales, respectively. In comparison to the prior fiscal year, these expenses were
$139,000,  or 7.5% of net sales for the quarter,  and  $431,000,  or 7.5% of net
sales for the nine-month period. An additional $192,000 of software  development
expenses,  which  represents  3.4% of net sales,  was  capitalized  for the nine
months  ended  March 31,  2000 in  comparison  to $59,000 for the same period in
fiscal 1999.  These  expenses  are due to the level of project  activity for new
products.

Interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 of $160,000  decreased
$43,000,  or 21.3%, in comparison to the prior fiscal year. Interest expense for
the second quarter of $54,000 decreased $14,000,  or 20.7%, in comparison to the
same period in fiscal 1999.  These decreases  primarily  relate to the decreased
level of average bank indebtedness in comparison to the prior fiscal year.

Depreciation and amortization of $103,000 for the third quarter and $341,000 for
the nine months ended March 31, 2000 decreased $73,000,  or 41.6%, and $184,000,
or 35.0%, respectively,  in comparison to the same periods in fiscal 1999. These
decreases  were  primarily  due to no  amortization  in the current  fiscal year
relating to specific  goodwill of the PhotoMed GmbH subsidiary,  which was fully
amortized by the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, as well as the general impact of
the PhotoMed sale.  Depreciation and amortization for PhotoMed for the three and
nine months ended March 31, 1999 were $45,000 and $148,000, respectively.

Foreign  exchange income for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2000 of
$4,000 and $13,000,  respectively,  compares to losses of $9,000 and $29,000 for
the same periods in fiscal 1999, due to a mix of transactional activity.

The Company reported net income of $39,000 for the third quarter,  compared to a
net loss of $168,000 for the third  quarter of the prior  fiscal  year.  For the
nine months ended March 31, 2000 the income was $31,000 in  comparison  to a net
loss of $209,000 for the same period in fiscal 1999. The gain on the sale of the
PhotoMed GmbH subsidiary,  the proceeds from the tax loss sale, and increases in
cost of products sold discussed above were major impacts on income.

The  resulting per share  performance  based on the weighted  average  number of
common shares  outstanding for each period was net income of $0.03 and $0.03 per
share for the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2000, in comparison to net
losses of $(0.14) and $(0.18) per share for the same periods in fiscal 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The working  capital of the Company at March 31, 2000 was  $830,000  compared to
$1.8 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 45.0%.

Current assets of $3.0 million decreased $290,000,  or 8.8%, from June 30, 1999.
This change  primarily  reflects  decreases of $112,000 and $175,000 in cash and
accounts  receivable,  respectively.  These changes reflected decreases of 42.9%
and  14.1% of these  respective  balances  at June 30,  1999.  The  decrease  in
accounts  receivable  reflects  the  impact  of the  sale of the  PhotoMed  GmbH
subsidiary.  The inventory balance represented 5.2 months of sales in inventory,
which is  comparable  to the 5.5 months of sales in  inventory at June 30, 1999.
The trade accounts  receivable balance of $1.1 million represents 1.72 months of
sales in comparison to 1.88 months of sales at June 30, 1999.

Current liabilities of $2.2 million increased $724,000,  or 50.3%, in comparison
to the balance as of June 30,  1999.  This  increase was due  principally  to an
increase in current  portion of  long-term  debt of  $733,000,  or 459.3% of the
balance as of June 30, 1999. The significant  increase of the current portion of
long-term  debt is due to the  inclusion of the entire  balance of the Covington
Capital debt facility as a current debt.

As of December 13, 1999 the Company  renewed its working  capital line of credit
with Silicon Valley Bank of California for $2,000,000.  This credit facility has
a one (1) year term (expiring December 13, 2000) and carries an interest rate at
the prime rate plus 1.5% (approximately  10.50% at March 31, 2000).  Interest is
due and payable  monthly,  and the principal is due at maturity.  The collateral
for the line represents a perfected first security interest in all the assets of
the Company, its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary and United Kingdom branch. The
Company will retain ownership of intellectual  property and is restricted on the
pledge of this  property to any other  party.  The advance  rate is based on 75%
against eligible domestic and Canadian  receivables within ninety (90) days from
invoice  date and 90% against  insured or letter of credit  domestic and foreign
receivables.  The Company is not required to pay the outstanding balance in full
at any time during the term of the note.  The balance  outstanding  at March 31,
2000 was $571,269. The securities related to the Covington Capital debenture and
the MLTV note payable are subordinated to the bank debt.

During March 1998, the Company reached an understanding  with MLTV that interest
would not accrue on the $630,000 principal amount of debt due by the Company and
that such balance  would only become due upon the sale of the company or at such
time as MLTV were to dispose of its interest in the Company.

                  AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (continued)
- -------------------------------------------

On October 31, 1995,  the Company  entered into a Debenture  agreement  for $1.5
million Canadian dollars ($1.1 million US) through C.I.-C.P.A.  Business Venture
Fund,  Inc.,  a  capital  fund  of  Covington  Capital  Corporation  ("Covington
Capital") (the "Covington Agreement"). This subordinated debt has a term of five
(5) years at an interest rate of 12% per annum.  Payments of principal commenced
on November 30, 1996 in the amount of $6,250  Canadian  dollars  ($4,300 US) per
month for a period of forty-eight (48) months with the balance due at the end of
the term.  This  financing was an important  source of funds which  provided for
investment to expand sales  territory  coverage  through  addition of personnel,
increase  marketing  support,  and continue research and development  efforts in
both  hardware and software  for new products and product cost  reductions.  The
outstanding  balance  as of March  31,  2000  was  $1,243,750  Canadian  dollars
($854,581 US). The entire balance of this facility is due in October 2000.

On March 7, 1997,  the Company  raised its first  significant  equity  financing
since 1987, for $2,000,000,  net $1,958,147 (for detail on specific terms, refer
to Note I to the Financial  Statements  in Form 10-KSB for June 30,  1999).  The
importance of this  financing is that it allows the Company to pursue its growth
goals.  The Company will use the financing for new product  introduction  and to
expand it sales and marketing coverage.

If the Company has to repay some of the short term maturing debt, it will lose a
substantial  portion of its  financial  resources  to pursue its current  plans.
Whereas  there is every  reason to believe  that the Company can  refinance  its
maturing debt, there is no guarantee that it will be able to do so.

The Company will continue to manage  within its financial  resources and attempt
to balance its working  capital needs with cash flow generated  from  operations
and available current  financing.  The Company cannot be certain that it will be
successful in efforts to raise additional funds.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Company did not experience any negative  problems or results with respect to
the Year 2000  issue.  However,  the  Company  will  continue to monitor for any
potential  impacts on operations  that may currently be unforeseen.  The Company
believes that the cost of Year 2000 modifications for both internal use software
and systems or the Company's products were not material.  (The Company estimates
the  accumulated  expenditures  relating to Year 2000  issues have not  exceeded
$100,000).
