                                       ==========


4.  License Agreement For Medical Technology
    ----------------------------------------

In October 1996, the Company entered into a license agreement, with United
States Surgical Corporation ("USS"), covering the further development and
commercial exploitation of the Company's medical technology relating to
ultrasonic cutting, which uses high frequency sound waves to coagulate and
divide tissue for both open and laparoscopic surgery. The license agreement
gives USS exclusive world-wide marketing and sales rights for this technology.
The Company received $100,000 under the option agreement preceding the license
agreement. Under the license agreement, the Company is entitled to receive
aggregate fees of approximately $500,000, subject to attaining certain
milestones over the term of the agreement, plus royalties based upon net sales
of such products. As of March 31, 1997, the Company has received $275,000 under
the license agreement.


5.  Acquisition
    -----------

In October 1996, under the terms of the revised purchase agreement (the
"Agreement") with Labcaire (as discussed in the Form 10-KSB at June 30, 1996),
the Company paid (pound)62,388 (approximately $102,099) for 9,284 shares (2.65%)

of the 65,000 outstanding shares owned by the Labcaire directors. This
represents the fiscal 1996 buy-back portion, as defined in the Agreement.

          ==========================================================

6.  Capital Transactions
    --------------------

As previously reported, in March 1996, the Board of Directors approved a 1996
Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan covering an aggregate of 300,000 common
shares of the Company and a 1996 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan covering an
aggregate of 750,000 common shares of the Company. The Board then granted
options to acquire 80,000 shares at prices of $6.00 and $9.00 under the Employee
Incentive Stock Option Plan and options to acquire 519,000 shares at a price of
$1.10 under the Outside Directors Plan. The options are exercisable for 10
years. Both of these plans, and the transactions under which options to acquire
519,000 shares were granted, were ratified and approved at the annual meeting of
shareholders on February 19, 1997. This resulted in a non-cash compensation
charge in the amount of $4,359,600.


7.  Exercise of Public Warrants
    ---------------------------

As of the close of business on February 3, 1997, seven hundred twenty nine
thousand one hundred twenty eight publicly issued Redeemable Warrants were
exercised and a like number of common shares were issued. The balance of these
options expired. As a result of the redemption, the Company received gross
proceeds of $5,687,198.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                ---------------------------------------------


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

Nine Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996
- -----------------------------------------

Net Sales: Net sales of the Company's medical, scientific and industrial
products, increased $4,363,397 (61.1%) from $7,142,479 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1996 to $11,505,876 in the nine months ended March 31, 1997. Parent
Company sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 increased 93.7% while
sales at the Company's foreign subsidiary (Labcaire) increased 21.1%. The
Company's backlog of unfilled orders increased from $1,211,586 at March 31, 1996
to $5,640,466 at March 31, 1997. This increase is due to increasing demand for
the Company's scientific and industrial product lines and new orders relative to
the ultrasonic soft tissue aspirator.

Gross Profit: Gross profit increased from 47.4% of sales in the nine months
ended March 31, 1996 to 54.5% of sales in the nine months ended March 31, 1997
primarily due to the onset of medical device sales, significant growth in the
domestic sales of the Company and economies of scale relative to this growth.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased from $3,095,779 (43.3 % of sales) in the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 to $3,903,953 (33.9% of sales) in the nine months
ended March 31, 1997. This dollar increase relates to sales costs associated
with higher sales volume and hiring of additional personnel, but reflects a
percentage decrease due to higher sales volume.

Research and Development Expenses: Medical product research and development
expenses were $11,426 in the nine months ended March 31, 1996 and $50,999 in the
nine months ended March 31, 1997. The increase in this area is due to non-funded
development costs associated with the Company's medical devices, under its
agreement with Medical Device Alliance Inc. and U.S. Surgical Corporation.
Industrial product research and development expenses were $140,300 in the nine
months ended March 31, 1996 and $140,179 in the nine months ended March 31,
1997.

Non-cash Compensation Charge: The non-cash compensation charge relates to grants
of options to outside directors to acquire 519,000 shares of the Company's
common stock which were approved by shareholders at the Company's Annual Meeting
on February 19, 1997. Without the effects of this charge, the Company would have
reported net income of $1,453,562, or $.40 per share, for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and $2,428,769, or $.77 per share, for the nine month period
ended March 31, 1997. Due to the non-cash compensation charge of $4,359,600, the
Company recorded a net loss of $2,906,038, or $(.87) per share, for the quarter
ended March 31, 1997, compared to net income of $261,511, or $.09 per share, for
the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The Company had a net loss of $1,930,831, or
$(.64) per share, for the nine months ended March 31, 1997, after the non-cash
compensation charge as compared to net income of $142,436, or $.05 per share,
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996. This charge does not affect the
Company's net worth.

Other Income (Expense): Other income during the nine months ended March 31, 1996
was $47,171. During the nine months ended March 31, 1997, other income was

$303,486. This increase was principally due to $100,000 of option fees received
from United States Surgical Corporation upon the latter's signing the option
agreement for the Company's ultrasonic medical technology and $121,314 in
royalties received from Medical Device Alliance, on sales of the ultrasonic soft
tissue aspirator, as per the terms of its licensing agreement with the Company.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
          ---------------------------------------------------------


Net Operating Losses: The Company has accumulated approximately $6,956,000 of
net operating losses as of March 31, 1997, which may be used to reduce taxable
income and income taxes in future years. The utilization of these losses to
reduce future income taxes will depend on the generation of sufficient taxable
income prior to the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards. The
carryforwards begin to expire in fiscal year 2002 and will expire through fiscal
year 2011. Additionally, based on ownership changes resulting from the offering
completed in January 1992, as well as historical issuances of common stock and
warrants, it is expected that the annual utilization of the otherwise available
pre-offering net operating loss carryforwards will be limited by the provisions
of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code as amended.

Liquidity and Capital Resources: At March 31, 1997, the Company had a cash
balance of $2,719,089 and investments held to maturity of $6,691,208 compared
with a cash balance of $925,898 and investments held to maturity of $532,304 at
March 31, 1996. This increase is due to the $375,000 received upon the signing
of the option and licensing agreements discussed in Note 4, the $5,687,198
received upon the exercise of warrants discussed in Note 7, and to cash flow
from operations. Inventories have increased from $1,087,011 at March 31, 1996 to
$2,082,636 at March 31, 1997 reflecting, in part, the establishment of an
inventory for the ultrasonic soft tissue aspirator.

In addition, the Company has a revolving credit facility, which expires on June
30, 1997, in the amount of $500,000 available to the Company for short-term
borrowings and letters of credit. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at
prime plus 2% and are collateralized by a security interest in all assets of the
Company. While there are no outstanding borrowings under this facility, the
Company had utilized it in the form of a standby letter of credit in the amount
of approximately $300,000, which guaranteed a portion of the credit facility of
its subsidiary Labcaire Systems Ltd. In October 1996, the Company was released
from this standby letter of credit since Labcaire was able to secure its credit
facility based upon its own creditworthiness.

A revolving credit facility from a U.K. bank in the amount of approximately
$560,000 was available to Labcaire for short term borrowings. This facility
expires in August 1997 when all unpaid principal and interest is due. This
facility bears interest at U.K. prime plus 2% and is collateralized by a
security interest in all the assets of Labcaire and a guarantee by Labcaire's

directors. As of March 31, 1997, $524,347 was outstanding under this facility.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources will enable it to
maintain its current and planned operations for the foreseeable future, in the
absence of highly unusual circumstances.

Forward Looking Statements: This report contains certain forward looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section
21E of the Exchange Act, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors
created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying
the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the
assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that
the forward looking statements contained in this report will prove to be
accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results
specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not
limited to , the absence of anticipated contracts or higher than historical
costs incurred in performance of contracts or in conducting other activities.
