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

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

Three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
- ----------------------------------------------

Net Sales: Net sales of the Company's medical, scientific and industrial
products, increased $550,653 (11.0%) from $5,012,563 in the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $5,563,216 in the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Parent Company sales for the three months ended September 30, 1998 increased
8.2% while sales at the Company's foreign subsidiary (Labcaire) increased 21.1%.
The Company's backlog of unfilled orders decreased from $6,349,585 at
September 30, 1997 to $5,789,988 at September 30, 1998. This decrease is
primarily due to a reduction in orders, from the Company's licensee, for the
ultrasonic soft tissue aspirator.

Gross Profit: Gross profit decreased from 56.9% of sales in the three months
ended September 30, 1997 to 50.4% of sales in the three months ended September
30, 1998 due to increased revenue, from one of the Company's licensees, on a
product line which has lower gross profits.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses: Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased from $1,543,352 (30.8 % of sales) in the three
months ended September 30, 1997 to $1,664,977 (29.9% of sales) in the three
months ended September 30, 1998. This increase relates to sales costs associated
with higher sales volume and hiring of additional administrative and technical
personnel, but reflects a percentage decrease due to higher sales volume.

Bad Debt Expense: Bad debt expense increased from none in the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $1,715,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1998.
On October 22, 1998, the Company announced that it had reserved for possible bad
debts of $1,700,000 against accounts receivable due and owing by Medical Device
Alliance, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Lysonix, Inc., as Licensees for
the Misonix ultrasonic soft tissue aspirator. A letter of default on the license
agreement with these parties was contemporaneously transmitted by the Company.
Without the effects of this charge , the Company would have reported net income
of $1,420,353, or $.22 diluted earnings per share for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to net income of $907,628, or $ .13 diluted
earnings per share for the three months ended September 30, 1997. Due to this
charge, the Company reported a net loss of $279,647, or $ (.05) diluted earnings
per share for the three months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to net
income of $907,628, or $ .13 diluted earnings per share for the three months
ended September 30, 1997.

Research and Development Expenses: Medical product research and development
expenses were $189,950 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 and $163,793
in the three months ended September 30, 1998. Industrial product research and
development expenses were $86,786 in the three months ended September 30, 1997
and $90,105 in the three months ended September 30, 1998.

Other Income (Expense): Other income during the three months ended September 30,
1997 was $227,386. During the three months ended September 30, 1998, other
income was $353,412. This increase was principally due to increased royalty
income received from the Company's licensees on sales of medical devices and
interest income on investments.

Income Taxes: For the three months ended September 30, 1998 there was a tax
benefit of $208,157 as compared to a tax provision of $352,090 at September 30,
1997 due to the fact that the Company had an operating loss for the three months
ended September 30, 1998.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources: At September 30, 1998, the Company had a cash
balance of $2,814,332 and investments held to maturity of $10,947,480 compared
with a cash balance of $884,594 and investments held to maturity of $9,273,905
at September 30, 1997. This increase is due to royalties received from the
Company's licensees on sales of medical devices and to cash flow from
operations. Inventories have increased from $2,713,467 at September 30, 1997 to
$3,009,074 at September 30, 1998 due to increasing sales of the Company's
medical devices. In addition, the Company has a revolving credit facility, which
expires on June 30, 1999, 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. There are no outstanding borrowings under this facility.

A revolving credit facility from a U.K. bank in the amount of approximately
$560,000 is available to Labcaire for short term borrowings. This facility
expires in September 1999 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 September 30, 1998, $579,724 was outstanding under this
facility.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources will enable it to
maintain its current and planned operations for at least 12 months from the date
hereof.

Year 2000 Compliance: The Company utilizes and is dependent upon data processing
systems and software to conduct its business. The data processing systems and
software include those developed and maintained by the Company's third-party
data processing vendors and software which is run on in-house computer networks.
During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company initiated a review and
assessment of all hardware and software to confirm that it will function
properly in the year 2000. With respect to internal systems, the results of that
evaluation to date have not revealed any year 2000 issues that, in the Company's
opinion, cannot be remediated in a timely manner; and therefore are not expected
to create a material risk of disruption of operations. With respect to outside
vendors, those vendors which have been contacted have indicated that their
hardware or software is or will be year 2000 compliant in time frames that meet
regulatory requirements. Evaluations of these issues is continuing and there can
be no assurance that additional issues, not presently known to the Company, will
not be discovered which could present a material risk of disruption to the
Company's operations.

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, higher than historical costs
incurred in performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, future
economic, competitive and market conditions, the outcome of legal proceedings,
as well as management business decisions.
