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

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

Net sales for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999 of $2.0 million
and  $4.0  million  increased  $218,000,   or  12.5%,  and  $121,000,  or  3.1%,
respectively,  compared  to the same  periods of fiscal  1999.  These  increases
reflect the impact of a higher  sales order  backlog in the current  fiscal year
carried over from fiscal 1999.

Total  revenues for the quarter and six months  ended  December 31, 1999 of $2.1
million and $4.1 million,  which  include net sales and other income,  increased
$262,000,  or 14.3%, and $157,000, or 4.0%,  respectively,  compared to the same
periods of fiscal 1999. This  performance  reflects both the increased net sales
and other income. Other income for the quarter and six months ended December 31,
1999 included a $108,000 gain from sale of the PhotoMed GmbH  subsidiary.  Other
income for the quarter and six months ended  December 31, 1998 included  $78,000
of deferred revenue recognition of certain customer deposits.

Cost of products  sold for the second  quarter of fiscal 2000 was  $931,000,  or
47.4%, of net sales,  which compares to $745,000,  or 42.7% of net sales for the
same period of fiscal 1999. This increase of $186,000,  or 25.0%,  was primarily
due to  increased  net sales,  an  increase  in service  costs,  and an $115,000
increase  of the reserve for future  loss of  inventory  value  against the same
period in fiscal 1999.  Cost of products sold for the six months ended  December
31,  1999 was $1.9  million,  or 47.8%,  of net sales,  which  compares  to $1.7
million,  or 43.5% of net sales for the same period of fiscal 1999.  This was an
increase  of  $223,000,  or 13.3%,  was due to  increased  net sales,  increased
service costs, and the aforementioned  increase in inventory  reserves.  Service
costs are  anticipated  to decline  accompanying  the sale of the PhotoMed  GmbH
subsidiary  and  anticipated   personnel   reductions  that  have  been  planned
throughout the remainder of the current fiscal year

Selling (including marketing),  general and administrative expenses of $727,000,
or 37.1% of net sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 decreased  $58,000,
or 7.3%, in comparison to $785,000, or 45.0% of net sales for the same period in
fiscal 1999.  For the six month period ended December 31, 1999 these expenses of
$1.6  million,  or 39.5% of net sales,  increased  $67,000,  or 4.4%,  from $1.5
million,  or 39.0% of net sales,  in fiscal  1999.  The  increase in selling and
marketing  expenses  of  $101,000  for the  six-month  period in fiscal 2000 was
offset by  decreases  of $34,000  for  general  and  administrative  expenses in
comparison to the prior fiscal year. General and administrative expenses for the
second quarter in fiscal 1999 declined  $57,000,  or 19.4%, in comparison to the
prior fiscal year. After adjusting for the sale of the Photomed GmbH subsidiary,
these costs are expected to decline slightly accompanying  anticipated personnel
reductions that have been planned throughout the remainder of the current fiscal
year.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
- ---------------------------------

Research and  development  expenses for the second  quarter and six months ended
December 31, 1999 were $152,000,  or 7.7% of net sales and $307,000,  or 7.7% of
net sales,  respectively.  In comparison to the prior fiscal year these expenses
were $143,000, or 8.2% of net sales for the quarter and $292,000, or 7.6% of net
sales for the six-month  period. An additional  $79,000 of software  development
expenses, which represents 2.0% of net sales, was capitalized for the six months
ended  December 31, 1999 in  comparison to $42,000 for the same period in fiscal
1999. These expenses are due to the level of project activity for new products.

Interest  expense  for  the six  months  ended  December  31,  1999 of  $106,000
decreased  $29,000,  or 21.6% in comparison  to the prior fiscal year.  Interest
expense  for the  second  quarter  of  $52,000  decreased  $14,000  or  21.2% 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 $115,000 for the second quarter and $237,000
for the six months ended  December 31, 1999  decreased  $57,000,  or 33.2%,  and
$110,000,  or 31.7%,  respectively,  in comparison to the same periods in fiscal
1999.  This  decrease was primarily  due to no  amortization  in the fiscal year
relating to specific  goodwill of the PhotoMed GmbH subsidiary,  which was fully
amortized by the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999.

Foreign  exchange  income for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999
of $4,000 and  $9,000,  respectively,  compares to losses of $10,000 and $20,000
for the same periods in fiscal 1999, due to a mix of transactional activity.

The Company reported net income of $101,000 for the second quarter,  compared to
a net loss of $101,000 for the second  quarter of the prior fiscal year. For the
six months ended  December 31, 1999 the net loss was $7,000 in  comparison  to a
net loss of $41,000  for the same  period on fiscal  1999.  The  increase in net
sales,  the gain on the sale of the PhotoMed GmbH  subsidiary,  and increases in
cost  of  products  sold,  and  selling,  general  and  administrative  expenses
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 $0.10 per share and
a net loss of $(0.01) for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1999, in
comparison  to net losses of $(0.09) and $(0.04) per share for the same  periods
in fiscal 1999.

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

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

The working capital of the Company at December 31, 1999 was $818,000 compared to
$1.8 million at June 30, 1999, a decrease of $1.0 million, or 55.6%.

Current assets of $3.1 million decreased $212,000, or 6.58%, from June 30, 1999.
This change  primarily  reflects  decreases  of $131,000 and $76,000 in cash and
accounts  receivable,  respectively.  These changes reflected decreases of 50.0%
and 6.1% 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 1.75 months of sales in
comparison to 1.88 months of sales at June 30, 1999.

Current liabilities of $2.3 million increased $813,000 or 56.5% in comparison to
the balance as of June 30, 1999.  This increase was due principally to increases
in bank  indebtedness  and  current  portion of  long-term  debt of $87,000  and
$761,000, or 16.2% and 476.8% of their respective balances at June 30, 1999. The
significant  increase of the  current  portion of  long-term  debt is due to the
inclusion of entire  balance of the  Covington  Capital debt facility as 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  10.00% at December 31, 1999).  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 December 31,
1999 was $624,961. The securities related to the Covington Capital debenture and
the MLTV note payable is 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.

ITEM 2 -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                  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 December  31, 1999 was  $1,262,500  Canadian  dollars
($868,600 US). The entire balance of this facility is due in October 2000.

In July 1994,  documents were fully  executed  between the "ODC" and the Company
for a term loan facility in the amounts of $500,000 Canadian  dollars.  The loan
credit  facility was  established  to allow  production  requests for equipment,
inventory  and  training  expenditures  associated  with  moving the  production
operation  from New  Jersey  plant to the  London,  Ontario  plant.  The term of
repayment  was forty (40) months and  includes an  interest  rate of 6.75%.  The
balance of this debt facility was paid in full in October 1999.

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).
