1.	Loans and advances from National Patent

     In August 1994, National Patent agreed to sell to NPD Trading (USA), 
Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("NPD Trading"), an 
aggregate of $2.5 million of registered common stock of National Patent, 
GTS Duratek, Inc., a currently 31% owned investment of National Patent 
("Duratek") or Interferon Sciences, Inc., a company in which National 
Patent has a 22% investment ("ISI"), or a combination thereof, to be 
determined at National Patent's discretion, which securities National 
Patent agreed to register, at its own expense, and deliver within a 24-
month period commencing November 7, 1994, as requested by the Company.  
The purchase price per share of such common stock will be its fair 
market value as determined by the closing price of the issue on the 
National Securities Exchange or quotation medium upon which it is then 
listed on the business day immediately preceding the purchase.  In lieu 
of securities at its option, National Patent may advance cash.

     	NPD Trading will purchase these equity securities from time to time by 
issuing a note to National Patent (the "Note").  Borrowings under the 
Note will be made from time to time by NPD Trading as it purchases 
shares of the securities, and the principal and accrued interest thereon 
at the prime rate will be due on August 5, 1999.  NPD Trading intends to 
sell all of such securities immediately after the purchase thereof and 
to advance the proceeds of such sales to the Company for use as working 
capital.  Although National Patent registered shares of its common 
stock, which can be used in partial satisfaction of its obligations 
under the loan agreement, National Patent elected to make all cash 
advances to the Company during 1994.  During 1995 and 1996, National 
Patent partially satisfied its funding obligations from proceeds from 
sales of approximately 46,000 shares of National Patent Common Stock on 
behalf of the Company in the aggregate amount of $427,000.  At March 31, 
1996, the Company borrowed the full $2,500,000.  Such amount, together 
with accrued interest thereon of $238,000, is due on August 5, 1999.  
National Patent has agreed to continue funding the Company through June 
30, 1996 pursuant to the same terms and conditions as the above loan 
agreement.  National Patent will evaluate its future funding commitments 
to the Company on a quarterly basis.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company 
had borrowed an additional $335,000 from National Patent.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


                             Results of Operations
Overview

    	The Company commenced operations in January 1990 as NPD Trading (USA), 
Inc., which is now its wholly-owned subsidiary.  Since its inception, the 
Company has focused on assisting western business to develop trade, 
manufacturing and investment opportunities in Russia, the Czech and Slovak 
Republics and to a lesser extent, other countries of the CIS.  In late 1993, 
the Company began the implementation of its plan for the export of American-
made generic prescription drugs and over-the-counter healthcare products in 
both Russia and the CIS.  The Company received certain regulatory approvals in 
1994 and 1995 to market its products.  The Company's strategy is to focus its 
efforts and resources, in 1996 and thereafter, on marketing and distribution 
in the generic pharmaceutical business, over the counter pharmaceuticals and 
the sale of medical equipment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     	At March 31, 1996, the Company had cash of $22,000 and the Company had 
borrowed the full $2.5 million under its loan agreement from National Patent  
These proceeds were to be used as part of the Company's working capital.  The 
proceeds received under the loan agreement were derived from the sale of 
registered shares of National Patent Common Stock, which totaled approximately 
$427,000, and a cash loan.  Such borrowings will bear interest at the prime 
rate, with principal and accrued interest, which totaled $238,000 at December 
31, 1995, becoming due on August 5, 1999.

     	National Patent has agreed to continue funding the Company through June 
31, 1996 pursuant to the same terms and conditions as the above loan 
agreement.  National Patent will evaluate its future funding commitments to 
the Company on a quarterly basis.  As of March 31, 1996, the Company had 
borrowed $2,835,000 from National Patent and had incurred interest of 
$238,000.  The Company is attempting to secure a bank credit facility, issue 
debt or issue additional equity securities to meet its working capital needs. 
If the Company is unable to raise additional capital, it could be forced to 
delay, scale back or eliminate certain activities.  In addition, there is no 
assurance that the terms of such transactions will be favorable to the 
Company.

     	The Company does not manufacture, and does not anticipate manufacturing, 
any of its products.  As a consequence, the Company has not made, and does not 
anticipate making, any major capital expenditures.

Results of Operations

Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 Compared to Quarter Ended March 31, 1995

     	Revenues.  In the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company had revenues 
of approximately $524,000 as compared to revenues of approximately $80,000 for 
the quarter ended March 31, 1995.  The increase in revenues of $444,000 was 
primarily due to the increase of $478,000 to $503,000 in 1996 in sales of 
medical equipment and generic drugs in the Commonwealth of Independent States 
offset by decreased consulting fees of $34,000.  The sales of medical 
equipment and generic drugs, which had a cost of sales of $366,000, resulted 
in $137,000 of gross margin in the first quarter of 1996.

     	General and Administrative Expenses.  General  and administrative 
expenses consist primarily of office rent, salaries, travel and related costs 
and legal expenses.  Direct costs relating to consulting revenues are included 
in general and administrative expenses.  The Company's general and 
administrative expenses increased to $410,000 in the first quarter of 1996 
from $372,000 in the first quarter of 1996.  This increase in general and 
administrative expenses in 1996 was due to the continued addition by the 
Company of certain personnel required to commence the implementation of the 
Company's plan to export American-made generic pharmaceutical products.

     	Net Loss.  The Company's net loss decreased to $338,000 for the first 
quarter of 1996 from $362,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  The sales in the 
first quarter of 1996, generating a gross profit of $137,000 offset by higher 
general and administrative expenses accounted for this decrease in net loss.

the financial information does not include all disclosures required under 
generally accepted accounting principles because certain note information 
included in the Company's Annual Report has been omitted; however, such 
information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring 
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair 
statement of the results for the interim periods.  The results for the interim 
periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the 
entire year.
