3.   NET INCOME PER SHARE

The net income per common share is based on the average number of common
shares outstanding during each year (1995 - 7,897,336; 1994 - 7,871,144).
The exercise of outstanding options would have an antidilutive effect on
earnings per share.

4.   RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain 1994 amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 1995
presentation.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Sales increased by $296,126, or 22%, to $1,659,511 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1995 and increased by $919,625, or 23%, to
$4,977,749 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995, compared to the
corresponding periods in 1994.  Sales increased generally throughout all
product areas and included enhanced sales to certain key OEM accounts.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, one customer
accounted for 11% of sales, and, for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1995, two customers accounted for 23% of sales.

Cost of sales, as a percent of sales, increased by 5%, from 44% to 49%,
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995 compared to the
corresponding period in 1994.  This increase was due primarily to a shift
in the product mix sold during the period from slightly lower cost
products to slightly higher cost products and does not, in the opinion of
management, reflect a significant trend toward higher cost of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A"), increased
approximately $263,000, or 16%, over the corresponding nine-month period
in 1994.  This increase is the result of dramatically increased
professional fees incurred by the Company in connection with its
litigation with Medical Analysis Systems, Inc. (see "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS"). 
The case is currently scheduled for trial on November 20, 1995;
consequently, management expects to cease incurring such expenses prior
to the end of the fourth quarter.  The Company is currently recording its
legal fees in connection with the litigation net of expected insurance
reimbursement.  Through September 30, 1995, the Company has recorded
legal expenses of $230,000, which amount is net of approximately $371,000
in insurance proceeds actually received or expected to be received from
the Company's general liability insurance carrier, Golden Eagle Insurance
Co.  The Company has also tendered a claim under its D & O insurance
policy, which management believes may result in further insurance
reimbursement.  Golden Eagle is currently reimbursing legal expenses
under a reservation of its rights, and has filed an action for
declaratory relief against the Company asserting that it is not liable to
defend the Company under its insurance policy.  Although management
believes that Golden Eagle is obligated to pay all of its legal expenses
under the policy (which include amounts in excess of those which Golden
Eagle is currently paying), the outcome of the declaratory relief action
cannot be ascertained at this time.  

The Company incurred a minor loss of $2,460 in the third quarter of 1995
versus a profit of $159,371 in the same period in 1994, and net income
decreased 21%, from $549,198 to $434,902, for the corresponding nine-
month periods ended September 30, 1994 and 1995, respectively.  This was
largely due to the significant professional fees noted above.  Had the

                                        8

<PAGE>
Company not incurred the expenses associated with the litigation, it
would have had net income for the three-month period of $192,000.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995, the Company
received approval from the U.S. FDA, by way of 510(k) Pre-market
Notification, to market eight new products; namely, a diagnostic kit for
the detection of von Willebrands disease by electroimmunodiffusion, an
alpha-2-antiplasmin test kit, a multi-analyte drugs-of-abuse control, and
five new clinical chemistry reagents.


LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

At September 30, 1995, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $1,679,000 and unused lines of credit of approximately
$676,000.

Cash flows from operating activities were $374,104 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, an increase of approximately $60,315, or 19%,
over the same period in 1994.  This increase was primarily due to an
increase in accrued expenses offset by an increase in inventories.  In
addition, the Company expects to incur significant additional
professional fees in the fourth quarter as the lawsuit proceeds to trial.

The Company believes that its current capital resources, including
existing cash and access to available lines of credit together with funds
generated from operations, should be sufficient to meet the Company's
operating requirements through the remainder of 1995.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   On November 30, 1994, a complaint was filed in Ventura County Superior
Court against the Company and two of its employees by Medical Analysis
Systems, Inc., alleging misappropriation of certain trade secrets, unfair
competition, interference with prospective economic advantage and other
tort- and contract-based claims.  On January 4, 1995, the Company filed
a cross complaint in the action alleging defamation, unfair competition
and interference with economic advantage.  The lawsuit is currently
scheduled to go to trial in November 1995.  Although the ultimate outcome
of this suit cannot be ascertained at this time and liabilities of
indeterminate amounts may be imposed upon the Company, it is the opinion
of management, based on information currently available, that the
allegations are without merit and that the resolution of this suit will
not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial
position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company.

   On June 22, 1995, a complaint was filed in Ventura County Superior
Court against the Company by Golden Eagle Insurance Co. for declaratory
relief as to its rights under the Company's general liability insurance
policy with respect to the Medical Analysis Systems, Inc., litigation,
and for reimbursement of all defense costs paid by Golden Eagle in
connection with that action to date.  The outcome of this action cannot
be ascertained at this time.  In the event that the Company is required
to repay the costs of defense to date, it will likely be required to
record additional SG&A expense, and the impact on the Company's
consolidated financial position and results of operation could be
material.
