On June 30, 1993, the Company entered into an amended agreement with private
investors which provided the Company with a loan in the amount of $200,000
repayable in one year together with an interest rate of 9% annum. In
addition, the amended agreement granted the investors two year options to
purchase an aggregate of 400,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price
of $4.75 per share. In July 1993, one of the private investors assigned
$20,000 of the loan along with options to purchase 40,000 shares of common
stock to one of the Company's directors, who has since resigned from the
board.

Additionally, two of the former directors provided the Company with loans
aggregating $120,000 during the months of August and September, 1993 payable
on demand with an interest rate of 9% per annum.

On June 24, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with the above
private investors, former directors, and the Company's retained legal
counsel. Pursuant to the agreement the due date for the investors and former
directors loans and fees payable ($250,000) to legal counsel were extended
until the first to occur of (i) June 30, 1996, (ii) a public financing by
the Company, or (iii) a private financing of the Company of not less than
$2,500,000. In addition, the exercise period of the investors' options to
purchase 400,000 shares of common stock were extended three years and the
exercise price was reduced to $1.50. Furthermore, included in this agreement
were the grant of five year warrants to one of the former directors and the
legal firm to purchase such number of shares of common stock of the Company
as is equal to the aggregate dollar amount of loans to made ($150,000) by
that former director and unpaid legal fees ($250,000) at an exercise price
of $1.00 per share. There was no value attached to these warrants.

As the aforementioned June 30, 1996 date has been reached, the amounts owing
to the investors, former directors and counsel are past due. On September
17, 1998 the private investors filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New
Jersey for the principal amount of $ 200,000, plus unpaid interest ($93,000
at September 1, 1998). While the Company does not have the ability to pay
the amounts due to these private investors, or the former directors and
legal counsel, it will seek to renegotiate the terms of payment of these
obligations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be
successful in these efforts. The failure to do so would have a material
adverse affect on the business of the Company and its ability to continue as
a going concern.

Additionally, at September 30, 1998, the Company had a remaining balance of
$147,728 which was lent to the Company by two then directors during the
Company's second fiscal quarter of 1995. Both loans are payable on demand
with interest at 9% per annum.

Note 4. - Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities Accrued expenses
and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

                                      September 30, 1998   March 31, 1998

                                          ----------        ----------
                                          $1,203,975        $1,086,940
                                          ==========        ==========

Note 5. - Income Taxes

At September 30, 1998 the Company had net operating loss carryforwards
available amounting to approximately $7.0 million which will expire between
2001 and 2012. There is a remote possibility that net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $500,000 may not be available. There are no
significant differences in the recognition of income and expenses for tax
and financial reporting purposes. Federal income taxes normally provided for
the three months ended September 30, 1998 and the three and six months ended
September 30, 1997 have been offset by the effects of the reduction of the
valuation allowance.

Note 6. -  Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic and diluted per share data is based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding. Common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive
and, therefore, were not included in the diluted per share computations.

Item 2:

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR
                              PLAN OF OPERATION

Results of Operations

The Company's net sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998
increased $ 70,000 (14%) compared to the same period a year ago due to an
increase in the current fiscal second quarter sales to the U.S. Architect of
the Capitol and to a commercial company for a local school system project.
For the six months ended September 30, 1998 net sales decreased $138,000
(14%), compared to the corresponding period last year due to a relatively
high revenue level achieved during last year's second fiscal quarter from a
government contract at Fort Meade, Maryland without corresponding revenues
earned from this customer during the first six months of fiscal 1999.

Gross profits as a percentage of net sales for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 was 42% compared to 49% during the same period a year
ago. For the six months ended September 30, 1998, the gross profit
percentage was 39% compared to 49% during the same period a year ago. The
decrease in gross margin for the three and six months ended September 30,
1998 is due to the adverse effect of a high volume of resold purchased
equipment versus higher margin Vikonics manufactured equipment and services
sold during the previous fiscal 1998 six month period.

Engineering, research and development expenses for three and six months
ended September 30,1998 were $ 65,000 and $127,000, respectively, an
increase of 15% ($8,000) and 7% ($8,000) versus the expenses incurred during
the same periods a year ago. These increases are due to additional product
development efforts begun last year.

Marketing and sales expenses for three and six months ended September 30,
1998 were $35,000 and $69,000, respectively, a decrease of 36% ($20,000) and
36% ($38,000) versus the expenses incurred during the same periods a year
ago, due primarily to a decrease in consulting fees and commissions.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended
September 30, 1998 were $ 105,000 and $198,000, respectively, an increase of
12% ($12,000) and 6% ($11,000) versus the expenses incurred during the same
periods a year ago. The variation is due to increases in payroll tax
non-payment penalties, interest and service charges.

The net income for the three months ended September 30, 1998 was $21,000
compared to net income of $22,000 a year ago. The net (loss) for the six
months ended September 30, 1998 was ($76,000) compared to net income of $
44,000 a year ago, due to the factors regarding revenue and expenses
described above.

The future viability of the Company will depend upon the Company's success
in raising revenue levels, maintaining low cost levels and, if necessary,
raising additional financing. In addition, the future viability of the
Company depends on the outcome of the legal proceeding described under
Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to obtain
contract awards which, in the aggregate, will provide significant revenues
in the immediate future. While there can be no assurance of favorable
results, the Company remains optimistic about obtaining these potential
contract awards.

To date, there has been no adverse effect on the Company's ability to
perform on any of its contracts due to its limited working capital. The
Company has also been able to maintain a satisfactory relationship with the
majority of its suppliers and has been able to substitute for dissatisfied
vendors, when necessary. For any large contract that the Company might be
awarded in the future where working capital might hamper its ability to
perform, the Company would attempt to negotiate adequate terms and delivery
with the customer and/or, if necessary, obtain required financing. There can
be no assurance, however, that the Company would be successful in these
efforts.

The working capital deficit on September 30, 1998 was ($1,771,000) compared
to ($1,694,000) on March 31, 1998. The increase in the working capital
deficit is primarily due to the loss incurred for the six months ended
September 30,1998. At September 30, 1998 the Company had $ 4,000 in cash,
compared to $10,000 in cash at March 31, 1998.

Accounts receivable increased by $152,000 during the six months ended
September 30, 1998 due to a disproportionate amount of billings occurring in
the later half of the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 1998.

Notes and loans payable of $774,000 at September 30, 1998 consist of $56,000
unsecured installment, notes payable used to finance the Company's insurance
premiums, and $718,000 due to private investors, former directors, and legal
counsel.

Pursuant to the agreement the due date for the investors and former
directors loans and fees payable to legal counsel were extended until the
first to occur of (i) June 30, 1996, (ii) a public financing by the Company,
or (iii) a private financing of the Company of not less than $2,500,000. As
the June 30, 1996 date has been reached, the amounts owing to the investors,
former directors and counsel are past due. On September 17, 1998 the private
investors filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey for the
principal amount of $ 200,000, plus unpaid interest ($93,000 at September 1,
1998). While the Company does not have the ability to pay the amounts due to
these private investors, or the former directors and legal counsel, it will
seek to renegotiate the terms of payment of these obligations. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The failure to do so would have a material adverse affect on the business of
the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern.

Accounts payable of $308,000 at September 30, 1998 are $102,000 higher than
the balance of $206,000 at March 31, 1998 due to an increase in material
purchases necessary for the higher revenue achieved during the second fiscal
1999 quarter. Accrued expenses and other current liabilities at September
30, 1998 of $1,204,000 are $117,000 greater than the $1,087,000 at March 31,
1998. The increase is primarily due to an increase in accrued payroll taxes
for the six months ended September 30, 1998.

In total, the net cash provided by operating activities was $ 10,000 for the
six months ended September 30, 1998, as compared to $ 22,000 for the six
months ended September 30, 1997.

The Company has no significant capital expenditure plans at this time.

On June 30, 1993, the Company entered into an amended agreement with private
investors which provided the Company with a loan in the amount of $200,000
repayable in one year together with an interest rate of 9% annum. In July
1993, one of the private investors assigned $20,000 of the loan along with
options to purchase 40,000 shares of common stock to one of the Company's
directors, who has since resigned from the board.

Additionally, two of the former directors provided the Company with loans
aggregating $120,000 during the months of August and September, 1993 payable
on demand with an interest rate of 9% per annum.

On June 24, 1994, the Company entered into an agreement with the above
private investors and others wherein the due date for the loans were
extended until the first to occur of (i) June 30, 1996, (ii) a public
financing by the Company, or (iii) a private financing of the Company of not
less than $2,500,000. As the June 30, 1996 date has been reached, the
amounts owing to the investors, former directors and counsel are past due.
On September 17, 1998 the private investors filed a lawsuit in the Superior
Court of New Jersey ( Randolph N. Reynolds, Arthur H. Sweeney Jr., Manny
Weiss and Lilian Weiss vs. Vikonics Inc. ) for the principal amount of $
200,000, plus unpaid interest ($93,000 at September 1, 1998). While the
Company does not have the ability to pay the amounts due to these private
investors, or the former directors and legal counsel, it will seek to
renegotiate the terms of payment of these obligations. There can be no
assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in these efforts.
The failure to do so would have a material adverse affect on the business of
the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern. (See Note 3 to
financial statements)
