</TABLE>

The  capital  loss  carryforwards  of  approximately  $271,000,  tax  effect  of
$105,000, expire in 1998.

The  deduction  of  federal  net  operating  loss  carryforwards  is  limited to
approximately $3,962,000 as of December 31, 1997. This limitation is based on an
annual  limitation of $460,000 plus  available  carryover of $654,000 and losses
incurred subsequent to 1992 of $5,248,000.  In addition,  should the sale of the
Company occur (See "Liquidity and Capital  Resources"),  there may be additional
limitations.

(4)  Pending Litigation

     Owen Mumford Ltd. ("Owen Mumford"), one of the Company's competitors, filed
     a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
     Virginia,  Richmond  Division  on April 29,  1998 and served a summons  and
     complaint  on the  Company  on June 1, 1998,  alleging  that the one of the
     Company's products,  the "Gentle-Let 1" infringes on a patent owned by Owen
     Mumford.  The complaint seeks  unspecified  damages  adequate to compensate
     Owen  Mumford for the  alleged  patent  infringement,  as well as costs and
     expenses.   The  Company  intends  to  vigorously  defend  itself  in  this
     proceeding. The matter is currently in the discovery phase.

(5)  Status of Default Under Credit Facility

     During the quarter  ended  March 31,  1998,  the  Company was in  technical
     default of certain financial covenants and in payment default under certain
     of its term loans with its lending bank.  In April 1998,  the Company cured
     its  payment  default  under the term loans and its  lending  bank  amended
     certain  of the  financial  covenants  so that the  Company is no longer in
     default under any of its lines of credit.

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

                              Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1998

Sales  increased  approximately  $255,000 or 11% for the quarter ended March 31,
1998,  compared  to the  quarter  ended  March 31,  1997 due  mainly to  revenue
generated from the product lines acquired with Pro-Tec  Containers,  Inc. in May
1997 (the "Acquisition"), and due to increases in lancet sales.

The gross margin percentage  increased due to cost reductions resulting from the
manufacture of certain raw materials in India,  and the generally higher margins
in the Pro-Tec  line.  The first quarter  generated 39% margins  compared to 32%
last year.

General and  Administrative  expenses increased $94,000 to $312,000 for the 1998
quarter, versus $228,000 for the 1997 quarter. The majority of this increase was
a result of increased expenses relating to the various acquisitions in 1997, and
the addition of staff in Brazil. Sales and Marketing expenses were approximately
the same for the 1998 and 1997 quarters, and R&D increased $5,000 to $17,000 for
the 1998  quarter,  versus  $12,000 for the 1997  quarter.  The  increase in R&D
expenses reflects the cost of the Company's focus on obtaining ISO Certification
in 1998.

As a result of the foregoing, Income from Operations increased 57%, or $174,000,
to $479,000 for the 1998 quarter  versus Income from  Operations of $307,000 for
the same quarter in 1997.

Interest expense  increased $69,000 from $53,500 in 1997 to $122,000 in 1998 due
to an increase in net borrowings to finance the Acquisition in May 1997, and the
investment in the Brazil joint venture in September 1997.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Company achieved a net profit for the quarter
of $356,000,  or $.11 per share, for 1998, compared to a net profit of $253,000,

During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company was in technical default of
certain  financial  covenants  and in payment  default under certain of its term
loans with its lending  bank as more fully  described  in the  Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended  December 31, 1997. In April 1998,  the
Company  cured its payment  default  under the term loans and its  lending  bank
amended  certain of the financial  covenants so that the Company is no longer in
default under any of its lines of credit.

On April 29, 1998, the Company announced that on April 28, 1998, it entered into
an  Agreement  and Plan of Merger with  London-based  Medisys  PLC  ("Medisys"),
pursuant to which Medisys would acquire the Company, and the stockholders of the
Company  would  receive  $4.00,  in cash,  for each share of Common Stock of the
Company.  The  consummation  of the merger is subject to a number of conditions,
including  without  limitation,  approval by the  stockholders  of the  Company,
satisfactory  completion  of due  diligence and securing of financing by Medisys
sufficient to consummate the merger and the transactions  contemplated  thereby.
The merger is expected to close this summer.
