manufacturing and distributing a new drug delivery system. Since its 
formation, the Company has been engaged principally in organizational, 
financing, research and development, and marketing activities. In the last 
quarter of fiscal 1993, the Company launched U.S. distribution of its 
Biojector 2000 system primarily to the hospital and large clinic market. 

The Company's products and manufacturing operations are subject to extensive 
government regulation, both in the U.S. and abroad. In the U.S., the 
development, manufacture, marketing and promotion of medical devices is 
regulated by the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") under the Federal Food, 
Drug, and Cosmetic Act ("FFDCA"). In 1987, the Company received clearance from
the FDA under Section 510(k) of the FFDCA to market a hand-held CO2-powered 
jet injection system. In June 1994, the Company received clearance from the 
FDA under 510(k) to market a version of its Biojector 2000 system in a 
configuration targeted at high volume injection applications. In October 1996, 
the Company received 510(k) clearance for a non-needle disposable vial access 
device. In March 1997, the Company received additional 510(k) clearance for 
certain enhancements to its Biojector 2000 system.



The Company's revenues to date have been derived primarily from licensing
and technology fees and more recently from sales of the Biojector 2000 system 
and Biojector syringes to public health clinics, flu immunization clinics and 
physicians offices. Future revenues will depend upon acceptance and use by 
healthcare providers of the Company's jet injection technology. Uncertainties 
over government regulation and competition in the healthcare industry may 
impact healthcare provider expenditures and third party payer reimbursements 
and, accordingly, the Company cannot predict what impact, if any, subsequent 
healthcare reforms might have on its business. In the future the Company may 
require additional financing. Failure to obtain such financing on favorable 
terms could adversely affect the Company's business.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 
 
INVENTORIES 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined in 
a manner which approximates the first-in, first out (FIFO) method. Costs 
utilized for inventory valuation purposes include labor, materials and 
manufacturing overhead. Net inventories consist of the following:

USE OF ESTIMATES 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of 
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses 
during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   
3. Private Placement:

In June and July 1997, the Company received net proceeds of $1.225 million 
in a private placement of 2.9 million shares of common stock and five year 
warrants to purchase 1.45 million shares of common stock at $0.71 per share.  
Of the total net proceeds received, $750,000 was received and recorded in the 
financial statements as of June 30, 1997.  The balance of $475,000 was 
received in July 1997 and will be reported in the financial statements for the 
quarter ended September 30, 1997.
    
      
   4    .   BASIS OF PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying, unaudited consolidated financial statements do not
include all information and footnote disclosures normally included in an
audited financial statement.  However, in the opinion of management, all
adjustments (which include only normal, recurring adjustments except as
described below) necessary to present fairly the financial position, cash
flows, and results of operations have been made.  It is suggested that these
statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in
the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 1997.


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

During the quarter, the Company continued its focus on sales to the public 
health clinic market for the broad range of immunizations and to nursing 
organizations for flu immunizations.  Also during the quarter, the Company 
announced that approximately 400 Wal-Mart stores throughout the country will 
offer consumers flu vaccines with the Biojector(R) 2000 needle-free injection 
system as part of Wal-Mart's national flu program to launch this fall.

In June and July 1997, the Company completed two private placements for a 
total proceeds of $1.25 million in an offering of 2.9 million shares of stock 
and 1.45 million warrants.  At the completion of the second closing the 
Company had a total of 22,447,390 common shares outstanding. 

The Company's revenues to date have not been sufficient to cover operating 
expenses.  However, the Company believes that if its products achieve market 
acceptance and the volume of sales increases, and its product costs are 
reduced, its costs of goods as a percentage of sales will decrease and 
eventually the Company will generate net income.  (See "Forward Looking 
Statements")  The level of sales required to generate net income will be 
affected by a number of factors including the pricing of the Company's 
products, its ability to attain efficiencies that can be attained through 
volume and automated manufacturing, and the impact of inflation on the 
Company's manufacturing and other operating costs.  There can be no assurance 
that the Company will be able to successfully implement its manufacturing cost 
reduction program or sell its products at prices or in volumes sufficient to 
achieve profitability or offset increases in its costs should they occur.

Revenues and results of operations have fluctuated and can be expected to
continue to fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to 
year.  Various factors may affect quarterly and yearly operating results 
including (i) length of time to close product sales, (ii) customer budget 
cycles, (iii) implementation of cost reduction measures, (iv) uncertainties 
and changes in purchasing due to third party payor policies and proposals 
relating to national healthcare reform, (v) timing and amount of payments 
under technology development agreements and (vi) timing of new product 
introductions by the Company and its competition.

During the fiscal year, the Company will continue to focus its   
efforts on expanding sales, reducing the cost of its products, developing   
a 1.5 ml. injector for Hoffmann-La Roche, pursuing additional alliances with 
pharmaceutical companies and conserving its fiscal resources.  The Company 
does not expect to report net income from operations in fiscal 1998. 
See "Forward Looking Statements." 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues from product sales increased from $177,000 in the first quarter of 
fiscal 1997 to $342,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998 due to increased 
orders for the Biojector(R) 2000 system from the public health sector and to 
a $40,000 payment from a strategic partner for self injection products.  

Licensing and technology revenues are recognized for work performed in 
conjunction with product development projects.  In the first quarter of fiscal 
1997 payments were received from Hoffmann-La Roche for development of a 1.5 
ml. injector and from Schering AG for the development of a self injector and 
totalled $315,000.  In the first quarter fiscal 1998, product development 
payments were received from Hoffmann-La Roche and totalled $125,000,  
a decrease from the prior year's first quarter due to the completion of the 
self injector project.

Manufacturing expense is comprised of the direct costs of product sold, 
unabsorbed manufacturing overhead and manufacturing variances and totalled 
$582,000 in first quarter fiscal 1997 and $556,000 for the first quarter 
fiscal 1998.  The decrease from the first quarter of the prior year reflects 
product cost reductions and lower manufacturing overhead.  

Research and development expenses decreased from $408,000 in the first quarter 
of fiscal 1997 to $155,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1998, due to the 
completion the self injector project.  

Selling, general and administrative expense remained constant at $747,000 for 
the first quarter of fiscal 1997 and $755,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 
1998, reflecting the Company's commitment to hold the line on these costs.  

Other income decreased from $22,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 to 
$7,000 in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, as a result of decreases in cash 
balances.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since its inception in 1985, the Company has financed its operations, 
working capital needs and capital expenditures primarily from private 
placements of securities, exercises of stock options, proceeds received from 
its initial public offering in 1986, proceeds received from a public offering
of Common Stock in November 1993, licensing and technology revenues and more 
recently from sales of products. Net proceeds received upon issuance of 
securities from inception through June 30, 1997 totalled approximately 
$41.0 million.

During the first quarter of fiscal 1998 and subsequent to quarter end, the 
Company raised in two closings a total of $1.25 million in an offering of 
2.9 million shares of common stock and 1.45 million warrants.  If the entire 
offering had closed by June 30, 1997, cash and marketable securities would 
have totalled $2.3 million, assets would have totalled $7.1 million and net 
equity would have totalled $6.0 million.  At the completion of the second 
closing, the Company had a total of 22,447,390 common shares outstanding.

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totalled, $1.8 million 
at June 30, 1997 compared to $2.1 million at March 31, 1997.  The decrease 
resulted primarily from operating losses and from reductions in certain short 
term liabilities offset by proceeds received in the first closing of two 
private placement offerings.

Inventories decreased from $1.7 million at March 31, 1997 to $1.6 million
at June 30, 1997, due to product sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

The Company expects to expend approximately $50,000 on non-manufacturing 
capital equipment additions in fiscal 1998.

The Company believes that its current cash position and cash received from a 
private placement of common stock and warrants in June and July 1997, combined 
with revenues and other cash receipts will not be adequate to fund the 
Company's operations through the end of fiscal 1998. The Company has 
identified a number of potential financing sources and is pursuing them 
aggressively. See "Forward Looking Statements." Even if the Company is 
successful in raising additional financing unforeseen costs and expenses or 
lower than anticipated cash receipts from product sales or research and 
development activities could accelerate or increase the financing 
requirements.  The Company has been successful in raising additional financing 
in the past and believes that sufficient funds will be available to fund 
future operations.  See "Forward Looking Statements."  However, there can be 
no assurance that the Company's efforts will be successful, and there can be 
no assurance that such financing will be available on terms which are not 
significantly dilutive to existing shareholders. Failure to obtain needed 
additional capital on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all, would 
significantly restrict the Company's operations and ability to continue 
product development and growth and materially adversely affect the Company's 
business.  The Company has no banking line of credit or other established 
source of borrowing.  The Company's independent accountants have qualified 
their opinion with respect to their audit of the Company's 1997 consolidated 
financial statements as the result of doubts concerning the Company's ability 
to continue as a going concern in the absence of additional financing.
