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


    Results of Operations:

    In the second quarter of fiscal 1997 the Company reported a net loss of
    $504,000 or $0.05 per share as compared to a net loss of $496,000 or $0.05
    per share in the prior year. Sales for the quarter were $870,000 compared
    with $864,000 in the prior year. Gross margins continue at anticipated
    levels.

    The Company's sales depend in part upon its customer's decision as to when
    to implement measures to meet 1998 compliance requirements. The Company
    believes that the market for its services may accelerate as compliance
    deadlines approach.

    Financial Condition and Liquidity:

    The Company has historically relied upon shareholder capital to fund
    operational deficits and expects to continue funding any operating deficits
    through equity infusions in fiscal 1997. The Company is in the process of
    negotiating a combination equity and debt financing arrangement expected to
    net funds in excess of amounts required to adequately finance operations and
    expansion plans.

    If the Company does not obtain adequate equity financing, management plans
    to recommend to the Company's Board of Directors that the Company divest
    certain subsidiaries or assets, and severely curtail operating expenses in
    order to finance its ongoing environmental monitoring software business.
