                                 JULY 31, 1998

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted principles necessarily requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expense during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and
assumptions. Operating results for the three  month period  ended July 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended April 30, 1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 1998 on Form 10-KSB.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiary, Rose Laboratories Inc. In consolidation, all
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

CONTRACT RESEARCH INCOME

Contract research income is recognized as work is completed and as billable
costs are incurred. In some cases, contract research income is based on
attainment of certain designated milestones.

NET EARNINGS PER SHARE

During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1998, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings per Share (EPS),"
which replaced the previously reported primary and fully diluted EPS with basic
and diluted EPS. Unlike primary EPS, basic EPS excludes any dilutive effects of
options, warrants and convertible securities. Diluted EPS is similar to the
previously reported fully diluted EPS. All EPS amounts for all fiscal periods
have been presented and, where necessary, restated to conform to the
requirements of SFAS No. 128.

Employees' stock options outstanding to purchase shares of the Company's Common
Stock were approximately 197,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1998,
and approximately 355,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1997 and
were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because the options'
exercise price was greater than the average market price of the shares of common
stock.

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

JULY 31, 1998

With the exception of the historical information contained in this Form 10-QSB,
the matters described herein may include "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could
cause actual results to materially differ from those projected or implied. These
risks include, but are not limited to, the ability of the Company to grow
internally or by acquisition, and to integrate acquired businesses, changing
industry and competitive conditions, and other risks outside the Company's
control referred to in its registration statement and periodic reports filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any
obligation to update any forward-looking statement.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended July 31, 1998 net sales decreased by $ 321,000 , or
7% compared to the fiscal 1998 respective period. Total net sales were
$4,387,000 for the three months period ended July 31, 1998.  Zenith Goldline
Laboratories, an Ivax company, accounted for approximately 10% of the gross
sales during the quarter ended July 31, 1998. In addition, the Company  had
gross sales to Bergen Brunswig Corporation and Watson Pharmaceuticals, (Rugby
Laboratories) which accounted for approximately 11% and 14%, respectively, of
the gross sales during the quarter ended July 31, 1998. These customers
represented approximately 41% of the outstanding trade receivables at July 31,
1998.

The Company's Health Care Products division, for the three months ended July 31,
1998, had gross sales of $456,000, which was lower than the fiscal 1998 sales of
$806,000. Rose Laboratory's products shipped for the three months ended July 31,
1998 from Amityville, NY. were $340,000 as compared to $281,000 shipped from
Madison Ct. for the three months ended July 31, 1997.

Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 68.1% to 60.4% for
the three months ended July 31, 1998 compared to the three months ended July 31,
1997. This decrease was principally the result of the mix of products produced
or sold.

Contract research income increased $115,000 and research and product development
costs for the three months ended July 31, 1998 increased  $77,000 or 43%
compared to the fiscal 1998 respective period, as a result of more research
projects.

Selling, general and administrative  expenses, as a percentage of net sales,
increased for the three months ended July 31,1998 to 28%  from 22% for the
fiscal 1998 respective period. Such percentage increase resulted from increased
selling expenses from additional sales personnel and increased advertising
activities.

Net income for the three months ended July 31, 1998 and 1997 was $217,000  and
$145,000, respectively, an increase of $72,000, because of the factors noted
above.

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's operations are financed principally by cash flow from operations.
During the July 31, 1998 period, working capital increased to  $8,371,000  from
$ 8,321,000 at April 30, 1998. During the quarter ended July 31, 1998 the
Company invested $ 386,000 in fixed assets.

The Company  has a working capital credit line with a bank of $5,000,000  which
expires in June 1999 and bears interest at the libor rate plus 175 basis points,
7.47% at           July 31, 1998.

The Company has a net investment of approximately $132,000 in a joint venture
for the marketing and development of a nutritional supplement. In addition, the
Company has guaranteed $1,500,000 of revolving debt of this joint venture to its
commercial lender. Mr. Reuben Seltzer, a director of the Company, has an
interest in the joint venture. Mr Reuben Seltzer is the son of Mr. Bernard
Seltzer, Chairman of the Board of the Company.

In May 1997, the Company announced a stock buy-back program under which the
Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to $500,000 of its common
stock. As of April 30, 1998 the Company had purchased 13,500 shares at a cost of
$51,000. As of September 10, 1998, the Company had acquired approximately 24,000
additional treasury shares for a cost of $105,000.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company relies significantly on computer technology throughout its business
to effectively carry out its day-to-day operations. As the millennium
approaches, the Company is assessing all of its computer systems to ensure that
they are "Year 2000" compliant. In this process the Company may replace or
upgrade certain systems which are not Year 2000 compliant in order to meet its
internal needs and those of its customers. The Company expects its Year 2000
project to be completed on a timely basis. However, there can be no assurance
that the systems of other companies on which the Company may rely also will be
timely converted or that such failure to convert by another company would not
have an adverse effect on the Company's systems. The cost to the Company of such
changes are difficult to estimate but are not expected to have a material
financial impact. With respect to its internal business systems, the Company is
working with third-party vendors of such systems to ensure that Year 2000
compliance either exists or will be achieved via vendor supplied upgrades in a
timely manner. Furthermore, that Company is addressing the potential impact to
the Company of non-compliance by any of its key suppliers or clients. The
Company's programs include communications with the Company's significant vendors
to determine the extent to which the Company is vulnerable to any failures by
them to address the Year 2000 issue. On a case by case basis, where the Company
determines that it may be at a material adverse risk due to non-compliance by
any of its key vendors, the Company may develop contingency plans for an
alternate source of supply. The Company may incur internal costs as well as
consulting and other expenses related to the Year 2000 problem. Actual results
could differ materially from the Company's expectations due to unanticipated
technological difficulties, vendor delays, and vendor cost overruns.


The Company's management believes that its financial resources, operating
revenue and credit line will be sufficient to meet its expected working capital
requirements.
