(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     The Company's principal business activity is the manufacture and sale of
     disposable surgical products. The Company's main product lines are surgical
     sutures, lancets, and diagnostic products. The accompanying unaudited
     financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions
     to Form 10-QSB and therefore do not include all information and footnote
     disclosure necessary for a full presentation of financial position, results
     of operations, and cash flows. The information furnished, in the opinion of
     management, reflects all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
     results of operations of the Company for the three-month period ended March
     31, 1997 and 1996. The accounting policies followed by the Company are set
     forth in note (1) of Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial
     Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
     December 31, 1996 (the "1996 Form 10-K") filed with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission. The results of operations of interim periods are not
     necessarily indicative of results which may be expected for any other
     interim period or for the year as a whole.

</TABLE>                         

The Company conducts a periodic evaluation of its valuation allowance. Factors
considered in the evaluation include recent demonstrable future earnings, the
Company's liquidity and equity positions. For 1996, all deferred tax assets were
reserved for in the valuation allowance given the Company's limited history of
profitable operations.

There is no income tax payable at December 31, 1996 or at March 31, 1997 because
of the usage of net operating loss carryforwards, which expire as follows:

                 Financial Condition and Results of Operations

                             Results of Operations
                             ---------------------

Three Months Ended March 31, 1997
- - ---------------------------------

Sales increased approximately $860,000 or 56% for the quarter ended March 31,
1997 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996 due to revenue generated from
the product lines acquired from Ulster Scientific, Inc. in March 1996 (the
"Acquisition"), and due to increases in dental suture sales.

The gross margin percentage increased due to shifts in product mix, with the
first quarter generating 32% margins compared to 30% last year.  Selling
expenses increased $128,000 to $228,000 for the 1997 quarter, versus $101,000
for the 1996 quarter.  Approximately all of this increase was a result of the
addition of sales personnel for new product lines purchased in the Acquisition.
General and Administrative expenses were approximately the same for the 1997 and
1996 quarters, and R&D expenses decreased $25,000 to $12,000 for the 1997
quarter, versus $37,000 for the 1996 quarter.  The decrease in R&D expenses
reflects the completion of the PGA synthetic absorbable suture development
project in the first quarter of 1997.

As a result of the foregoing, Income from Operations increased 180%, or
$197,000, to $306,500 for the 1997 quarter versus Income from Operations of
$109,500 for the same quarter in 1996.

Interest expense increased $32,000 from $21,500 in 1996 to $53,500 in 1997 due
to an increase in net borrowings to finance the Acquisition in March 1996, and
the investment in the India joint venture in January 1997.

As a result of the foregoing, the Company achieved a net profit for the quarter
of $253,500, or $.08 per share, for 1997, compared to a net profit of $104,000,
or $.04 per share, in 1996.

                        Liquidity and Capital Resources
                        -------------------------------

At March 31, 1997, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $174,110 and
working capital of $5,032,962.

In August 1996, the Company's lines of credit were renewed through August 31,
1997.  As part of this renewal, the working capital line of credit was increased
from $500,000 to $1,000,000, and the letter-of-credit line was increased from
$700,000 to $1,500,000.  As of March 31, 1997, the Company had drawn advances on
the working capital line of $925,000, and there were approximately $772,000 in
letters-of-credit outstanding relating to raw material purchases, and other
general purposes, under the letter of credit line.

In February 1996, the Company received SBA approval for a new revolving working
capital line of credit which allows the Company to draw up to $420,000 to
finance labor costs and inventory purchases relating to U.S. Government
contracts.  At March 31, 1997, the balance due on this 

                                       8

line was approximately $16,000, secured by proceeds from contracts in the same
amount that were assigned to the bank.

The Company also has an SBA export working capital line-of-credit agreement,
which provides working capital for export sales up to the lesser of (a) $350,000
or (b) 80 percent of the face amount of negotiated Letters of Credit issued for
the benefit of the Company and delivered to the lender.  At March 31, 1997,
there was $15,000 outstanding under this line-of-credit agreement.

In March 1997, two outside directors committed to loan the Company $1,000,000.
Terms of the loans include an interest rate of 10%, and issuance of up to
100,000 warrants to purchase common stock of the Company at an exercise price
equal to the market price of common stock at the time of issuance.  The funds
will be used for continued expansion of Luken's recently acquired India
facility, expansion of capacity for its new synthetic absorbable suture product,
and for other acquisition-related activities.  As of March 31, 1997, the
aforementioned directors loaned the Company $150,000 each, for a total of
$300,000 under such commitment and were issued 15,000 warrants each.  As of May
13, 1997, an aggregate of $800,000 has been funded to the Company under such
commitment.

On May 13, 1997 the Company acquired PRO-TEC Containers, Inc. of Sanford,
Florida.  PRO-TEC manufactures and markets a broad line of specialized
containers for the disposal of used "sharps", such as needles and scalpel
blades, and have been a pioneer in the industry for over 10 years.  PRO-TEC was
acquired for 200,000 shares of newly-issued Common Stock and approximately
$380,000 in cash. The acquisition was effected by a merger with the result that
PRO-TEC is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.  The acquisition will
be accounted for under the "purchase" method and the combination will be
reflected in the Quarter ended June 30, 1997.
