ITEM 12.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

     On April 13,  1995,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  with John H.
Robinson, a director of the Company, whereby Mr. Robinson (i) loaned $400,000 to
the  Company  (the "April  Loan"),  (ii) agreed to  purchase,  at the  Company's
request at any time prior to March 31,  1996,  up to $500,000  of the  Company's
Common Stock at the market price at the time of such  investment,  and (iii) was
issued 400,000 five-year  warrants to purchase Common Stock at an exercise price
of $1.10 per share.  The April Loan bears  interest at the rate of 8% per annum,
and all principal and interest  accrued  during the term thereof is deferred and
payable on April 15,  1999.  Proceeds  of the April Loan were used to reduce the
Company's  outstanding  indebtedness  under its line of credit  with its lending
bank by $350,000 and the remainder was used for general corporate  purposes.  On
September 11, 1995, Mr.  Robinson  loaned the Company an additional  $250,000 to
partially  finance  the  payoff of  certain  capitalized  leases in  respect  of
equipment (the "Buyout Loan").  The Buyout Loan bears interest at the rate of 8%
per annum and all  principal  and  interest  accrued  during the term thereof is
deferred and payable in October, 1999. On March 5, 1996, Mr. Robinson loaned the
Company  $400,000  to fund a  portion  of the  purchase  price  relating  to the
Company's  acquisition of three product lines from Ulster Scientific,  Inc. (the
"Acquisition  Loan"). The Acquisition Loan bears interest at the rate of 10% per
annum and all principal and interest accrued during the term thereof is deferred
and payable on September 5, 2000.  Repayment of the April Loan,  the Buyout Loan
and the Acquisition  Loan are  subordinated to the Company's line of credit with
its lending  bank. At the request of the  Company's  lending bank,  the previous
maturity dates thereunder were extended for two additional years to the maturity
dates reflected above.

     As of March 1, 1996, the Company  entered into a consulting  agreement with
John H. Robinson,  a director of the Company.  Such  consulting  agreement has a
term of one year and thereafter  automatically  renews for  additional  one-year
periods unless previously  canceled by either party. Mr. Robinson is entitled to
receive  approximately $50,000 per year pursuant to the terms of such consulting
agreement.  Such consulting  agreement is terminable by either party at any time
after  the  first  year  upon 60 days'  prior  written  notice.  Mr.  Robinson's
consulting agreement is still in effect.

     On February 28, 1997,  the Company  entered into an agreement  with John H.
Robinson and Robert L. Priddy,  each a director and  substantial  stockholder of
the Company, whereby Messrs. Robinson and Priddy loaned the Company an aggregate
of  $1,000,000.  Such loans  bear  interest  at the rate of 10% per  annum,  are
repayable  on or  before  January  1, 1999 and are  subordinated  to the Line of
Credit. In connection  therewith,  Messrs.  Robinson and Priddy were each issued
warrants to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $6.25
per share, and warrants to purchase an additional  35,000 shares of Common Stock
at $6.25 per share.
