Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

         Background

                  The Company was organized during 1989 to develop and
commercialize certain proprietary compound encapsulation technologies. Following
several years of continued developmental efforts, the Company was able to secure
patents on several aspects of its technologies in the United States and Europe,
introduce branded products in certain markets and develop strategic associations
with pharmaceutical companies.

         From inception through 1994, the Company remained in the development
stage while experiencing substantial losses. Its principal source of capital was
derived from a series of private financing transactions and an initial public
offering in 1990. Sales revenues during this period were insufficient to offset
the Company's operating costs and liabilities. Consequently, the Company filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa
Division on November 30, 1994. Upon successfully reorganizing its operations and
finances, the Company emerged from bankruptcy in July 1996.

         In July 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000
newly-designated and issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock") to Fountain Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), a Wyoming limited
liability company, controlled by Joseph S. Schuchert, Jr. As a result of this
private placement (the "Private Placement"), the Company obtained additional
working capital of $2.5 million, which it utilized to enhance the expansion of
the Company's sales and marketing program, as well as to further the Company's
research and development efforts. As a result of significant increases in
marketing costs associated with the expansion of existing product lines and the
introduction of new products during fiscal 1998, which were not offset by sales
revenues during the period, the Company substantially utilized its working
capital resources. Accordingly, the Company initiated a program to obtain
additional working capital. In order to provide working capital in the near
term, as of December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a secured credit
arrangement with Mr. Schuchert. The credit agreement provides for a two year
line of credit of up to $1,500,000 subject to the Company satisfying certain
agreed upon quarterly operating budget guidelines. In order to fund operations
in the long term and pursue its business strategy, the Company intends to
continue to seek additional sources of capital, including debt and equity
financing. However, there can be no assurances that such financing will be
available or, that it will be available upon terms advantageous to the Company.
See "Liquidity and Capital Resources."

         Results of Operations

         During the quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company realized a net
loss of $447,869 on revenues of $564,769, compared to net loss of $276,382 on
revenues of $37,862 for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The increase in
losses from the prior year's quarter ended December 31, 1997, is attributable
primarily to expenses relating to increased sales and marketing efforts and
legal fees relating to the Dermik Laboratories, Inc. lawsuit. The increase in
revenues from the prior year's quarter ended December 31, 1997, was a result of
an increase in advance orders from a European

                                       9

licensee in anticipation of sunscreen product promotion for the upcoming summer
season. Management believes that this particular quarter is the low point of its
fiscal year due to the seasonal nature of its principal product, a sunscreen.
Management also anticipates that this seasonality of revenues will be reduced in
time as the Company's product line and geographic expansion continues. However,
there can be no assurances to that effect.

         During the quarter ended December 31, 1998 the Company incurred
operating expenses of $672,067, a 105.1% increase over operating expenses of
$327,774 in the quarter ended December 31, 1997. This increase in expenses was
primarily due to increased sales and marketing efforts relating to existing and
new markets and legal fees in connection with the Company's lawsuit filed
against Dermik Laboratories, Inc.

         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         From inception through the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company's
principal sources of working capital were derived from a series of private
financing transactions and an initial public offering in 1990. As a result of
the Company's declining equity and assets, the Company's securities were
delisted from The NASDAQ SmallCap MarketSM during May 1994 and the securities
have since traded on the less liquid market of the OTC Bulletin Board.

         During the period from the quarter ended June 30, 1994 throughout the
bankruptcy proceedings, the Company's operations were funded primarily through
sales of products and from royalties, as well as the sale of 25,000,000 shares
(pre-split) of the Company's Common Stock to its then Chief Executive Officer at
a purchase price of $250,000 in December 1995. Since emerging from bankruptcy,
the Company's primary source of working capital have been sales revenues, short
term advances from the Company's then Chief Executive Officer and proceeds of
$2.5 million generated from a private placement offering in July 1997.

          As of December 31, 1998, the Company had working capital of $183,346,
a decrease of $461,858 from the level of working capital of $645,204 as of
September 30, 1998, and a $1,862,597 decrease from the Company's working capital
of $2,045,943 as of December 31, 1997. Such decrease in working capital is
primarily attributable to increased expenses associated with sales and marketing
efforts relating to existing and new markets, research and development relating
to new projects and formulations, legal fees relating to Dermik Laboratories,
Inc. lawsuit and additional personnel. As a result of such significant increase
in marketing costs and legal fees, which were not offset by sales revenues, the
Company had substantially utilized its working capital resources by December
1998. Accordingly, the Company initiated a program to obtain additional working
capital. In order to provide working capital in the near term, as of December
31, 1998, the Company entered into a secured credit arrangement with Mr.
Schuchert. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured line of credit of up to
$1,500,000, the principal and unpaid interest of which is due on the earlier of
December 31, 2000, 180 days from written demand of Mr. Schuchert as lender or
upon an event of default under the agreement. The line of credit bears interest
at an adjustable monthly rate equal to the greater of (i) the prime rate quoted
in the Wall Street Journal, plus 1 1/2% or (ii) 9%, which is payable monthly or
may be accrued. The facility is secured by all of the assets of the Company
(subject to any existing liens). The facility is subject to the Company
satisfying certain agreed
                                       10
<PAGE>

upon quarterly operating budget guidelines. As of February 2, 1999, the Company
had $548,309 outstanding under this facility plus accrued interest of $2,467 as
of January 31, 1999. The proceeds of the loan have been utilized to fund
operations and to pay legal fees in connection with the Dermik lawsuit. Under
the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Schuchert receives warrants to purchase 1.6
shares of Common Stock for each dollar advanced under the facility and warrants
to purchase 1.6 shares of Common Stock for each dollar of accrued interest that
is unpaid when due under the facility at an exercise price of $.65 per share
with an expiration date of December 31, 2003. As of February 2, 1999, Mr.
Schuchert has been granted warrants to purchase an aggregate 881,242 shares of
Common Stock.

          The Company's sales revenues during the first quarter ending December
31, 1998 were not adequate to offset expenses. Based upon the Company's current
budget guidelines as agreed to with Mr. Schuchert as lender, management believes
that the funds available under the line of credit will be sufficient to enable
the Company to meet its anticipated operating expenses through December 31,
1999. However, in order to continue longer term operations and to pursue its
business strategy, the Company will require additional financing unless and
until sales revenues provide sufficient working capital. The Company is in the
process of pursuing such additional sources of financing. There can be no
assurances that such financing will be available or that it will be available
upon terms advantageous to the Company. Failure to obtain such additional
financing or the earlier termination of the line of credit would have a material
adverse effect on the Company's ability to operate beyond December 1999.

         During the Fiscal quarter ended December 31, 1998, the Company's other
principal sources of working capital were derived from revenues and a $100,000
line of credit from First Union National Bank of Florida ("First Union"). The
line of credit bears interest at a rate of prime plus .5%, payable upon demand.
As of February 11, 1999 the Company has an outstanding balance due under its
line of credit of $100,000.

         Effects of Inflation

         The Company does not expect inflation to materially effect its results
of operations, however, it does expect that its operating costs and the cost of
capital equipment to be acquired in the future may be subject to general
economic and inflationary pressures.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1.           Legal Proceedings
                  -----------------
         The law firm of Blank, Rome, Comisky and McCauley, LLP represents the
Company with regard to disputes against Dermik Laboratories, Inc. and Rhone
Poulenc Rorer ("RPR") relating to damages allegedly suffered by the Company as a
result of, among other things, Dermik's termination of a supply and distribution
agreement (the "Agreement"). Dermik is a subsidiary of RPR. The Agreement called
for Dermik to be the licensee of the Company's sunscreen product for a period of
10 years and for Dermik to distribute the product in the United States and
certain territories outside the United States.

         On or about October 28, 1996 Dermik notified the Company that, in its
opinion, the Company had not been able to demonstrate compliance with certain
contractual and regulatory requirements by October 31, 1996 and that, on this
basis, that Dermik was exercising an alleged right under the contract to
terminate it on that basis.

         The Company instituted a lawsuit in November 1997 against Dermik
alleging a cause of action for breach of the Agreement. Later, in November 1998,
the Company filed court documents seeking permission to amend the Dermik lawsuit
to assert further claims of tortuous breach of contract and civil conspiracy
with RPR. Dermik is expected to oppose this and the Court will render a decision
sometime in the future. At the same time, the Company filed a separate lawsuit
against RPR alleging causes of action of breach of contract, tortuous breach of
contract, civil conspiracy with Dermik, and tortuous interference by RPR with
the contractual relationship between Dermik and the Company. The current Case
Scheduling Order governing the Dermik case calls for discovery to continue
through the middle of February 1999 at which time dispositive motion practice is
to commence. If the case goes through motion practice, it is to enter the trial
pool on August 1, 1999.

         RPR has not yet answered or otherwise responded to the complaint
against it. It is anticipated that RPR will move to have the complaint dismissed
for failure to state a legally cognizable claim. The Company intends to oppose
any such motion.

         The Company's various complaints seek damages from Dermik Laboratories,
Inc. and RPR in excess of $10,000,000 each. These matters are currently pending
in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas, Trial Division under the
following case captions.

         Dermik, like RPR, will likely move for summary judgment as to the
complaint against it once discovery is closed with the aim of having the case
dismissed before trial. The Company intends to oppose any such motion.

Item 2.           Changes in Securities
                  ---------------------

                  As of December 31, 1998, the Company entered into a secured
