3. NET INCOME PER SHARE

     Primary  earnings  per share are based on the  weighted  average  number of
common and dilutive common  equivalent shares  outstanding  during each quarter.
The  weighted  average  shares for  computing  primary  earnings  per share were
12,510,894   and   13,680,627   for  the  quarters   ended  July  31,  1996  and
1997,respectively

4. ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES

     The Company follows Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
109,  "Accounting  for Income  Taxes,"  which  requires  an asset and  liability
approach of accounting for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are
computed  annually for  differences  between  financial  statement basis and tax
basis  of  assets,   liabilities  and  available  general  business  tax  credit
carry-forwards.  A valuation  allowance is established  when necessary to reduce
deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

5. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Statement
No. 115,  "Accounting  for Certain  Investments in Debt and Equity  Securities",
which  requires  that  investments  in  equity   securities  that  have  readily
determinable  fair values and  investments  in debt  securities be classified in
three categories: held-to-maturity, trading and available-for-sale. Based on the
nature of the assets held by the Company and Management's  investment  strategy,
the Company's investments have been classified as available-for-sale. Management
determines  the  appropriate  classification  of debt  securities at the time of
purchase and reevaluates such designation as of each balance sheet date.

     Securities classified as  available-for-sale  are carried at estimated fair
value, as determined by quoted market prices,  with unrealized gains and losses,
net of tax,  reported in a separate  component of stockholders'  equity. At July
31, 1997,  the Company had no  investments  that were  classified  as trading or
held-to-maturity as defined by the Statement.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                for the three months ended July 31, 1996 and 1997
                 -------------------------------------------------

     Except for the description of historical facts contained herein,  this Form
10Q-SB  contains  certain  forward  looking  statements  that involve  risks and
uncertainties as detailed herein and from time to time in the Company's  filings
with the Securities and Exchange  Commission and elsewhere.  Such statements are
based on  management's  current  expectations  and are  subject  to a number  of
factors and uncertainties  which could cause actual results to differ materially
from those described in the forward-looking  statements.  These factors include,
among others, the Company's  fluctuations in sales and operating results,  risks
associated  with  international  operations  and  regulatory,   competitive  and
contractual risks and product development.
    
     Results of operations  for the three months ended July 31, 1997 as compared
to the three months ended July 31, 1996.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Revenues  from the book segment of the business were $110,368 for the three
months  ended July 31, 1997 as compared  to $27,444 for the three  months  ended
July 31, 1996,  representing  a increase of $82,924 or 302.2%. This  increase in
book sales is  directly  attributable  to the  Company's  reorganization  of its
telemarketing  activities and a bulk inventory purchase. Costs of goods sold for
the three months ended July 31, 1997, were $27,671 as compared to $6,226 for the
three months ended July 31, 1996 representing a cost of goods sold percentage of
25% for the three  months ended July 31, 1997 as compared to 22.7% for the three
months ended July 31, 1996. The cost of goods sold  percentage  during the first
quarter of fiscal 1998  remains  approximately  consistent  with the  percentage
during the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

     Revenues  from the sales of drug testing  kits were  $705,262 for the three
months ended July 31, 1997.  Costs of goods sold for the three months ended July
31, 1997 was  $329,111 or 46.7%.  No sales of drug testing kits were made in the
first quarter of fiscal 1997.

    General and  administrative  costs for the three months ended July 31, 1997
were  $413,754,  an  increase of 60.8% over  expenses of $251,605  for the three
months  ended  July 31,  1996.  These  increased  costs are the result of hiring
additional  employees in sales,  marketing,  accounting and executive positions.
For the three months ended July 31, 1997,  office personnel costs were $171,349,
legal and professional expenses,  $20,808,  office expense,  $12,782,  marketing
expense, $186,011,  product development,  $18,662 and rent, $4,142. Research and
development  expense was $-0- for the three months ended July 31, 1997  compared
to $57,258  during  the three  months  ended July 31,  1996.  This  decrease  in
research and  development  is the result of the completion of development of the
existing drug testing delivery system.

     Liquidity  and capital  resources  as of the end of the three  months ended
July 31, 1997.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     The  Company's  cash  balance  was  $2,143,974  and  working   capital  was
$3,666,404 as at July 31, 1997.  Cash generated  from  financing  activities was
utilized for the purchase of machinery and equipment for $25,480 and  additional
patent costs of $2,810.

     The Company's  primary  short-term needs for capital,  which are subject to
change,  are for  expansion  of its  manufacturing  to  adequately  deliver  new
products and an increase in inventory levels to fill larger anticipated orders.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     Management believes that the present cash balance will pay the ongoing cost
of the biomedical business. The Company has established commercial production of
its drug testing kits and no longer considers  itself to be a development  stage
company.

     Income tax: As of July 31, 1997,  the Company has a tax loss  carry-forward
of $2,785,004. The Company's ability to utilize its tax credit carry-forwards in
future years will be subject to an annual limitation  pursuant to the "Change in
Ownership  Rules"  under  Section 382 of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986,  as
amended.  However,  any annual  limitation  is not  expected  to have a material
adverse   effect  on  the   Company's   ability  to   utilize   its  tax  credit
carry-forwards.

     The Company  currently plans to expend  approximately  $2.0 million for the
expansion  and   development  of  its   manufacturing,   marketing  and  general
administrative  capabilities in connection with the fulfillment of the Company's
marketing program and the anticipated launch of the Company's products currently
under  development.  Additionally,  the Company  utilizes  cash  generated  from
operating activities to meet its capital requirements.

     The  Company  expects its capital  requirements  to increase  over the next
several years as it commences new research and development  efforts,  undertakes
new product development,  increases sales and administration  infrastructure and
embarks on developing in-house  manufacturing  capabilities and facilities.  The
Company's  future  liquidity  and capital  funding  requirements  will depend on
numerous  factors,  including the extent to which the Company's  products  under
development are successfully developed and gain market acceptance, the timing of
regulatory  actions regarding the Company's  potential  products,  the costs and
timing of expansion of sales, marketing and manufacturing activities, facilities
expansion  needs,  procurement  and  enforcement  of  patents  important  to the
Company's business, results of clinical investigations and competition.

     The Company  believes that its available cash and cash from operations will
be  sufficient  to satisfy  its  funding  needs for at least the next 36 months.
Thereafter,  if cash generated from  operations is  insufficient  to satisfy the
Company's working capital and capital expenditure requirements,  the Company may
be required to sell additional  equity or debt  securities or obtain  additional
credit facilities.  There can be no assurance that such financing,  if required,
will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all.

                                     PART II
                                OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

     In February,  1994, Robert  Friedenberg,  former stockholder of two medical
technology companies, MDI and Gendex, acquired by the Company, filed suit in the
name of the two  companies  to have an agreement  whereby the Company  purchased
those companies (the "Share Exchange Agreement") for its Common Shares rescinded
on the grounds of breach of contract.  The Company  filed a third party claim in
July, 1994, against Dr.  Friedenberg,  seeking enforcement of the Share Exchange
Agreement. In November,  1995, after a bifurcated trial, the court dismissed Dr.
Friedenberg's  (in the name of MDI and Gendex) lawsuit and allowed the Company's
third party claim to proceed to trial. In September, 1996, Dr. Friedenberg died.

     Trial on the third party  claim was  decided by a jury on May 5, 1997.  The
verdict  determined that Dr.  Friedenberg  (represented by his estate)  breached
various contracts by failing to deliver certain technologies to the Company. The
jury also found in favor of the Company on two of the three fraud claims against
Dr. Friedenberg and awarded the Company  approximately  $350,000 in damages. The
trial judge, who is bound by the jury verdict against  Friedenberg,  will decide
Dr.  Friedenberg's  estate's pending claim to the Company's  Common Shares.  The
Company has refused to issue any shares to him or to his estate.

     In June, 1995, the Company filed a lawsuit against Jackson Morris, Esq. for
breach of the attorney-client  relationship  and of his  fiduciary  duty to the
Company for  subsequently  providing  legal  services to Dr.  Friedenberg in his
dispute with the Company. The Company's lawsuit demands damages in the amount of
$1,000,000. Mr. Morris has counterclaimed for Common Shares. The court has set a
trial date of September 14, 1998.

Item 2. Changes in Securities

     As of July 31,  1997,  130 of 150  Preferred  Series  "A"  Shares  had been
converted  into Common Shares.  As of August 28, 1997, all the Preferred  Series
"A" Shares had been converted into Common Shares.

Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities

     None.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security-Holders

     None.
