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 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 June 30, 1998

Sales  increased  approximately  $509,000 or 22% for the quarter  ended June 30,
1998,  compared  to the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1997 due  mainly  to  revenue
generated from the product lines acquired with Pro-Tec  Containers,  Inc. in May
1997 (the "Acquisition"), increases in lancet sales, and increased dental suture
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 40% margins  compared to 35%
last year.

General and Administrative  expenses increased $112,000 to $367,000 for the 1998
quarter, versus $255,000 for the 1997 quarter. The majority of this increase was
a result of increased amortization 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 $3,000
to $16,000  for the 1998  quarter,  versus  $13,000  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 63%, or $213,000,
to $550,000 for the 1998 quarter  versus Income from  Operations of $337,000 for
the same quarter in 1997.

Interest expense  increased $99,000 from $69,000 in 1997 to $168,000 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 $382,000 or $.11 per share,  for 1998,  compared to a net profit of $276,000,
or $.08 per share, in 1997.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998

Sales increased  approximately $764,000 or 16% for the six months ended June 30,
1998  compared  to the six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 due  mainly to revenue
generated from the product lines acquired from Pro-Tec and Techsynt acquisitions
in May 1997, increases in Lancet sales and increased dental suture sales.

Gross  margins  increased  to 39% from 33% due to  shifts  in the  product  mix,
yielding  gross  profits of  $2,176,959  for the six months ended June 30, 1998,
compared to $1,570,905 for the six months ended June 30, 1997.  Total  operating
expenses  increased  $220,000 or 24% for the six months ended June 30, 1998 due,
again, to increases in Sales and Administrative Staff resulting from the PRO-TEC
and Ulster acquisitions due to amortization,  selling expenses increased $18,000
or 4% and G&A expenses increased $194,000 or 41%. R&D increased by $8,000 or 33%
due to the successful  completion of the Company's  synthetic  absorbable suture
project.

Interest expense increased $168,000 due to higher levels of borrowing related to
its joint venture in India and the PRO-TEC and Techsynt acquisitions.

As a result of the foregoing,  the Company  incurred a net profit of $739,000 or
$.21 per share,  for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to a net profit
of $529,000 or $.16 per share during the same period in 1997.

                         Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30,  1998,  the  Company  had cash and cash  equivalents  of $6,583  and
working capital of $1,479,052.

In August 1997,  the Company's  lines of credit were renewed  through August 31,
1998. As part of this renewal, the balance on the working capital line of credit
was increased from $1,000,000 to $1,750,000,  and the letter-of-credit  line was
decreased from  $1,500,000 to  $1,250,000.  As of June 30, 1998, the Company had
fully drawn the working  capital line, and there was  approximately  $111,000 in
stand-by  letters  of  credit  and  $553,000  in  letters-of-credit  outstanding
relating to raw material purchases, and other general purposes, under the letter
of credit line.

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.  The Company's  credit facility expires and needs to be renewed
prior to the end of August  1998.  There can be no  assurance  that such  credit
facility  will be so renewed,  or that it will be renewed on terms  favorable to
the Company. In the event that such credit facility is not so renewed, there can
be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain alternate financing.

During the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company  experienced lower levels of
productivity  at its primary suture  manufacturing  facility in Juarez,  Mexico.
This  was  caused  by  unusually  high  turnover  of  staff,  due  to  increased
competition  for  labor in the  local  market,  productivity  fell by as much as
30-35% for the period, and as a result, the Company fell short of its production
goals  which in turn  created  increased  levels  of  inventory.  The  Company's
decreased ability to convert its inventory into cash or accounts  receivable has
resulted in a working  capital  shortfall.  The Juarez facility is the Company's
primary suture assembly plant, and typically generates  approximately 30% of the
products  sold by the  Company in a given  quarter.  The  Company  is  currently
working to remedy its production problems,  but no assurance can be given that a
remedy will be forthcoming in the immediate future.

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.  The
merger is expected to close by the end of September the Company has set a record
date of August 14, 1998 for shareholders entitled to vote at the Special Meeting
being held to approve the merger.

Year 2000  Disclosure.  The Company  believes  that its  operations  will not be
materially  disrupted by any problems  associated  with the "Year 2000" syndrome
after January 1, 2000; however there can be no assurances in this regard.

Other than  statements of historical  fact,  this  Management's  Discussion  and
Analysis  of  Financial  Condition  and  Results  of  Operations  as well as the
accompanying  Form 10-QSB  contains  forward  looking  statements  that  involve
certain  risks and  uncertainties.  Such  risks and  uncertainties  include  the
continued
