Company.  The actions seek an unspecified amount of damages and possible
equitable relief.

         While both of these matters are in very early stages, the
Company and its officers believe that the actions are without merit and
have denied liability and intend to vigorously defend the suits.

Item 2.       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations

Results of Operations

     Three Months Ended June 30, 1996

The Company's net loss of $1,578,000 for the second quarter ended June
30, 1996 was $40,000 higher than the net loss of $1,538,000 for the
second quarter ended June 30, 1995.

Research and development expenses decreased from $803,000 to $702,000
primarily as a result of reduced personnel, reduced payments for
research/collaborative projects, and reduced consulting services.

General and administrative expenses increased from $805,000 to $914,000
as a result of increased public relations costs, and increased personnel
offset by a reduction in consulting services.

Interest expense of $80,000, including $29,000 of amortization of the
debt issuance costs, resulted from the issuance of $8.5 million of 8%
Convertible Debentures in late October 1995.  The debt issuance costs
are being amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of
the debentures.  Upon the conversion of debentures ($450,000 during the
second quarter of 1996) the related unamortized debt issuance costs
($48,000 during the second quarter of 1996) are charged to paid-in
capital.

Investment income increased $40,000 from $70,000 in the 1995 period to
$110,000 in the 1996 period as a result of higher average cash balances
offset, in part, by lower interest rates on U.S. Government obligations
in which most of the Company's available cash is invested.
<PAGE>

     Six Months Ended June 30, 1996

The Company's net loss increased $236,000 during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 from a loss of $2,908,000 during the 1995 period to a loss
of $3,144,000 in 1996.

Research and development expenses decreased from $1,586,000 to
$1,266,000 primarily as a result of reduced personnel and reduced
payments for research/collaborative projects.

General and administrative expenses increased from $1,478,000 to
$1,890,000 as a result of increased public relations costs, consulting
costs and travel and meeting costs.

Interest expense of $253,000 resulted from the issuance of $8.5 million
of 8% Convertible Debentures in late October 1995.  Included in the 1996
interest expense is $96,000 of amortization of the debt issuance costs. 
The debt issuance costs are being amortized as a component of interest
expense over the term of the debentures.  Upon the conversion of
debentures ($5,850,000 during the six months ended June 30, 1996) the
related unamortized debt issuance costs ($713,000 during the second
quarter of 1996) are charged to paid-in capital.

Interest income increased $83,000 from $156,000 in 1995 as a result of
higher average fund balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $8,099,000
compared to $9,485,000 at December 31, 1995.  The Company's management
believes that current working capital will be sufficient to fund its
liquidity needs through 1996 and beyond.  During the six months ended
June 30, 1996, $5,850,000 of the 8% Convertible Debentures were
converted into 2,206,172 Class A Common shares.

The Company expects to continue to incur substantial expenditures in
research and product development and the FDA approval process, relating
to Phase I and Phase II human clinical testing of the MH1 imaging
product and 510(k) filings for TpP , the Company's Thrombus Precursor
Protein diagnostic tests, and FiF , the Company's Functional Intact
Fibrinogen diagnostic test. Currently product development plans of the
Company include entering into collaborative, licensing and co-marketing
arrangements with large pharmaceutical companies to provide additional
funding and clinical expertise to perform tests necessary to obtain
regulatory approvals, provide manufacturing expertise and market the
Company's  products.  Without such collaborative, licensing or co-marketing 
arrangements, longer term, additional sources of funding will
be required to finance the Company.
