4.  INVESTMENTS

During  August,  September and October, 1999, the Company sold 500,000 shares of
Immtech  International,  Inc.  ("Immtech")  stock  for  $2,500,000  in a private
placement.  The  funds  were  used  primarily  to settle a long-standing lawsuit
which  was settled in July, 1999. The Company holds approximately 460,000 shares
of  Immtech  stock  which  had  a  market  value of approximately $13,000,000 at
December 31, 1999.  These shares are subject to certain lock-up provisions which
do  not  allow  the  Company to sell any of these sales in the open market until
April, 2000.  The market value of these shares could change substantially due to
overall  market  risk.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
                   Six Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

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

Net  sales  for  the  six months ended December 31, 1999 decreased 3.6% to $13.5
million from $14.0 million for the same period in fiscal 1999.  This decrease in
revenue  is due to a reduction in OEM sales to a major customer partially offset
by  an  increase in international sales.  The Company expects sales to the major
OEM  customer discussed above to improve in the second half of fiscal 2000.  See
"Forward-Looking  Statements"  below.

The  gross  profit  percentage  for  the  six months ended December 31, 1999 was
45.4%.  This  represents  a  decrease from the gross profit of 48.7% recorded in
the  same  period  of  fiscal 1999.  This decrease is due primarily to continued
price  competition.  The  Company expects to see improvement in its gross profit
percentage upon the release of the new products currently in development.  These
products  are expected to be released in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal
2000.  See  "Forward-Looking  Statements"  below.

Operating  expenses  decreased  approximately  $1.7 million.  Marketing expenses
decreased approximately $936,000 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1999
due  primarily  to  decreased  commissions  which  corresponds  to the decreased
sales,  decreased  payroll  and  related  travel  expenses due to a reduction in
direct  sales people as more dealers were added.  Also, expenses were reduced as
a  result  of  closing  the sales office in Germany.   Research, development and
engineering  expense  increased  approximately  $76,000  related  to  additional
outside  contract  and  project  expense  which  are all associated with the new
products  under  development.  Administrative  expenses  decreased approximately
$139,000  in  the  six  months ended December 31, 1999 when compared to the same
period  in  fiscal 1999.  This decrease is due primarily to decreased litigation
expense  related  to  the  settlement of a long-standing lawsuit.  The decreased
litigation  costs were partially offset by reaudit costs incurred as a result of
the  resignation  of  the Company's former auditors. The Company also recorded a
restructuring  charge of $728,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1998.
This restructuring charge relates to severance pay and other benefits payable to
the  two  co-founders  of  the Company.  Both of these individuals resigned from
their  positions  with  the  Company  in  November, 1998.  The severance accrual
includes  a portion of  their respective salary and fringe benefits for a period
which  approximates  three  years.

The  loss  from operations decreased approximately $1,037,000 for the six months
ended  December  31, 1999 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1999 due to
the restructuring charge for severance pay and other benefits recorded in fiscal
1999  and the decrease in operating expenses which are a result of the Company's
restructuring  plan  implemented  in  July  1999.

Net  non-operating  income was approximately $2,400,000 for the six months ended
December  31,  1999.  Net non-operating expenses were approximately $272,000 for
the  same  period  in fiscal 1999.  The significant change is due to the private
placement  sale  of  500,000  Immtech  shares  for  $2,500,000.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Results of Operations and Financial Condition
                  Three Months Ended December 31, 1999 and 1998

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

Net  sales  for  the three months ended December 31, 1999 decreased 5.3% to $6.9
million  from  $7.3 million for the same period in fiscal 1999.  The decrease in
revenue is due to a reduction in OEM sales to a major customer, partially offset
by  an  increase in international sales.  The Company expects sales to the major
OEM  customer  to  improve  in  the  last  six  months  of  fiscal  2000.  See
"Forward-Looking  Statements."

The  gross  profit  percentage  of 45.5% for the three months ended December 31,
1999  represents  a  decrease from the 48.9% gross profit percentage reported in
the  same period of the previous fiscal year.  The decrease in margins is due to
continued  price  competition.  The Company expects to see improved margins upon
the  release  of  the  new  products currently being developed and scheduled for
release  in  the  third and fourth quarter of fiscal 2000.  See "Forward-Looking
Statements."

Operating  expenses  decreased  approximately  $1.1 million.  Marketing expenses
decreased approximately $324,000 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1999
due  primarily  to  a  reduction in payroll and related travel and entertainment
costs  due  a  reduction  in  direct  sales  people  as  more dealers are added.
Research,  development  and engineering expense increased approximately $113,000
related  to  outside  contract and project expense which are all associated with
the  new  products  under  development.  Administrative  expenses  decreased
approximately $146,000 in the three months ended December 31, 1999 when compared
to  the same period in fiscal 1999.  This decrease is due primarily to decreased
legal  fees  resulting  from  the  settlement  of  a long-standing lawsuit.  The
decrease in legal fees was partially offset by reaudit fees incurred as a result
of  the resignation of the Company's former auditors.  The Company also recorded
a  restructuring  charge  of  $728,000  during the six months ended December 31,
1998.  This  restructuring  charge  relates  to severance pay and other benefits
payable  to  the  two  co-founders  of  the  Company.  Both of these individuals
resigned from their positions with the Company in November, 1998.  The severance
accrual includes a portion of  their respective salary and fringe benefits for a
period  which  approximates  three  years.

The  loss  from operations decreased approximately $665,000 for the three months
ended  December  31, 1999 when compared to the same period in fiscal 1999 due to
the restructuring charge for severance pay and other benefits recorded in fiscal
1999  and  reduced  spending in fiscal 2000, partially offset by the decrease in
revenue  and  gross  profit.

Net  non-operating  income was approximately $713,000 for the three months ended
December  31, 1999 compared to net non-operating expenses of $66,000 recorded in
the  same  period  of fiscal 1999.  The significant change is due to the private
placement  sale  of  148,000  Immtech  shares  for  $740,000.

The  Company  believes  that  its results in the quarter ended December 31, 1999
were  negatively  affected  due to the time and attention expended by management
and  other  direct  and  indirect  costs  relating to the halt in trading of the
Company's  shares  on  Nasdaq pending refiling of the Company's Annual Report on
Form  10-K  for  fiscal  1999.

                     Management's Discussion and Analysis of
                  Results of Operations and Financial Condition


LIQUIDITY
- ---------

During  the  six  months  ended December 31, 1999, the Company recorded negative
cash  flow  from operations of approximately $2.5 million and had a cash balance
of approximately $2.1 and no short term borrowings.  The Company's negative cash
flow  resulted  primarily  from  the  settlement  of  a  long-standing  lawsuit.
Proceeds  for  this  settlement were obtained from the sale of 500,000 shares of
Immtech stock for $2.5 million in a private placement sale. The Company believes
its  marketing  and  research  and  development activities and other capital and
liquidity  requirements  will be satisfied by cash generated from operations and
periodic  utilization  of  a  $4,000,000  line  of credit currently in place, if
necessary.

The Company currently holds an investment in Immtech.  Immtech's common stock is
currently  traded  on  the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  As part of Immtech's initial
public  offering,  the  Company  signed  a  lock-up agreement.  All terms of the
lock-up  have been met other than the holding period which continues until April
2000.

YEAR  2000  COMPLIANCE
- ----------------------

The Company's internal systems have experienced no material Year 2000 compliance
related  problems.  In  addition,  the  Company  is  not  aware of any Year 2000
related  issues with any of its customers, suppliers or other third parties with
whom  the  Company  has business relationships.  The Company does not believe at
this  time  that potential Year 2000 issues will materially affect the Company's
business,  although  no  assurance  can  be  given  that  this will be the case.
