Co-Filer:         Thomas K. Langbein ("Langbein")

Item 3.           Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

         Medicore has been financing the Issuer since Medicore acquired the
Issuer in 1982. The Issuer repaid Medicore $900,000 from the proceeds of the
Issuer's 1985 public offering. In April, 1995 the Issuer gave Medicore a
convertible demand promissory note (the "Note") in the amount of $4,503,166 for
outstanding indebtedness at that time with interest at 5.7% annually. The Note
is convertible at Medicore's option in increments of $10,000 or multiples
thereof for principal amounts and accrued interest then outstanding at the
conversion price of $1.75 per share of Common Stock of the Issuer. $1,500,000
was repaid by the Issuer from its 1995 public offering, and there remained a
balance on the Note at June 25, 1996 of approximately $2,902,000. On June 25,
1996, Medicore converted $350,000 of principal of the Note for 200,000 shares of
the Issuer's Common Stock.


         A copy of the Note was filed as an exhibit to the Issuer's 
Registration  Statement on Form SB-2,  File No.  33-94998-A,  Item 27, 
Exhibits, Exhibit No. 10(a)(a).

         Other than his option for 80,000 shares of Common Stock (see Schedule
2), Langbein's only interest is indirect beneficial interest in the Issuer's
Common Stock by virtue of his position of Chairman of the Board of Directors,
Chief Executive Officer and President of Medicore and Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer of the Issuer. Langbein disclaims any beneficial
ownership of the Issuer through Medicore except through his proportional
ownership interest in Medicore. See Item 5 below.

Item 4.           Purpose of Transaction

         Medicore beneficially owns approximately 74% o the Issuer which
represents a significant controlling ownership interest in the Issuer, which
ability to control the Issuer Medicore held since it acquired the Issuer in
1982. Other than non-extraordinary business transactions and other matters that
may be brought before and dealt with by the Issuer's Board of Directors, three
of the four directors being common directors with Medicore's board of directors,
there presently are no plans or proposals by Medicore or Langbein for any
extraordinary corporate transactions relative to the Issuer as a result of the
partial conversion of the Note by Medicore for the additional 200,000 shares of
Common Stock.

Item 5.           Interest in Securities of the Issuer

         (a) Medicore is the beneficial owner of 4,386,171 (74.3%) shares of the
Issuer's Common Stock, of which 2,727,797 (64.3%) are owned directly, the
balance (1,658,374 shares) obtainable upon conversion of the Note. See Item 3
above.

         (b) Medicore may be deemed to have shared voting and investment power
with Langbein,  except for Langbein's 80,000 shares of Common Stock obtainable
upon exercise of the Issuer's  options,  by virtue of his positions  with
Medicore and the Issuer.  See Item 3 above and Schedule 2 attached.

         (c) No transaction in the Common Stock of the Issuer was effected
during the past 60 days by Medicore, Langbein, or any of Medicore's executive
officers, directors or controlling persons.

         (d) No other person is known to have the right to receive or the power
to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the
2,727,797 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer owned by Medicore. Certain
officers and directors of Medicore by virtue of their position with and share
ownership of Medicore, including Langbein, may be deemed indirect beneficial
owners of the Issuer's shares owned by Medicore. Such officers and directors
disclaim any such indirect beneficial ownership and the receipt or power to
direct the receipt of dividends on or proceeds from the power to direct the
receipt of dividends on or proceeds from the sale of the Issuer's Common Stock
owned by Medicore. See Schedule 2.


         (e)      Not applicable.

         The amount and percentage of Common Stock of the Issuer beneficially
owed by the Executive Officers, directors and controlling persons of Medicore is
set forth in Schedule 2.

Item 6.           Contracts, Arrangements, Undertakings or Relationships with
                  Respect to Securities of the Issuer

         Neither Medicore, Langbein, nor to the best of its knowledge, any of
the parties listed on Schedule 1, has any contract, arrangement, understanding
or relationship with respect to the securities of the Issuer, including but not
limited to any contract, arrangement. understanding or relationship covering the
transfer or the voting of the Issuer's Common Stock, finder's fees, joint
ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls, guarantees of loans or the
