Item 2.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

                      (Second Quarter Ended June 30, 1996)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
The report contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties. The Company's actual results could differ significantly from
those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, changes in the
Company's materials costs, new product introductions by the Company or its
competitors, and changes in general conditions in the market for household
goods.

Net sales increased 83% for the three months and 48% for the six months ended
June 30, 1996, compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases
were the result of contributions from our PUR Self-Monitoring Water FilterJ for
the household market. Sales of household water filters increased nearly
four-fold in the second quarter of 1996, versus the same period in 1995. Price
increases did not have a significant impact on net sales for the six months
ended June 30, 1996 or 1995.

Gross margins were 38.2% for both the second quarter and year-to-date, 1996,
versus 40.6% and 44.7% for the same periods in 1995, respectively. The decrease
in gross margins was primarily due to lower margins on the OEM product line and
unabsorbed overhead costs. With increased volume, continued reduction in
materials costs, and automation of the PUR FM series unit production line, the
Company expects higher gross margins throughout the remainder of the year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended
June 30, 1996 and year-to-date, compared to the same periods last year. This
increase reflects increased sales and marketing expense related to the continued
roll-out of the household drinking water system products in the U.S. Selling
expenses are expected to continue to be well above 1995 levels throughout the
remainder of the year, to support the continued roll-out of the household
drinking water systems and product line extensions.

Research and development expense increased by 5% and 32% for the second quarter
and year-to-date 1996, respectively, compared to the same periods in 1995,
reflecting the Company's continued emphasis on product development. Development
of product line extensions and other new products will require continued
emphasis and increased spending on research and development in 1996.

Other income (expense) was ($32,000) for the second quarter and year-to-date
1996, compared to $178,000 and $368,000 for the same periods the prior year, due
primarily to decreased interest income corresponding to decreased balances of
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and the incurrance of
short-term debt.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 0% for the three months ended June
30, 1996 and year-to-date compared to 31% for the same periods in 1995. The
Company has a $1,512,000 tax benefit related to losses incurred in 1995. The
Company has recorded a valuation allowance for the tax benefit related to the
current net operating loss. In 1995, research and development tax credits and
reduced tax rates from the Company's foreign sales corporation and tax exempt
interest on certain investments in the current year, caused the effective rates
to be below the statutory level.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES:
Cash used in operations was $2,692,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
compared to $1,762,000 for the same period in 1995. In 1996, net loss as well as
increased accounts receivable related to strong second quarter sales, partially
offset by the collection of an income tax refund were the primary components of
cash used in operation. In 1995, net loss and increased inventory levels to
support the projected sales growth and an inventory increase related to military
contract delays offset cash received through collection of receivables.

Capital expenditures were $2,191,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996,
compared to $1,907,000 for the same period the prior year. The capital
expenditures were used primarily to purchase tooling and manufacturing equipment
for both years. Increased expenditures in 1996 for tooling and manufacturing
equipment purchases are associated with new product introductions and an
increase in overall production capacity.

At June 30, 1996, the Company had available an $8 million credit facility
secured by equipment, inventory and receivables. The Company had borrowed
$2,560,000 under this facility at June 30, 1996, compared to $0 at December 31,
1995. Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company received $15 million from a
private placement of convertible notes. The notes bear interest at a rate of
five percent and are convertible into one million shares of common stock. The
Company used a portion of the proceeds from these notes to repay and close the
existing bank line of credit.

Management believes that anticipated cash flows from operations, and the
proceeds from the convertible note will provide sufficient capital resources for
current operations and planned product introductions.

The Company has not paid cash dividends. The Board of Directors currently
intends to retain all earnings for expansion of the Company's business.
