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 and
has received certain  regulatory  approvals in 1994, 1995 and 1996 to market its
products.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At September 30, 1997, the Company had cash of $517,000 and the Company
had borrowed  $2,500,000 pursuant to its $2,500,000 loan agreement from National
Patent. These proceeds were used as part of the Company's working capital.  Such
borrowings bear interest at the prime rate, with principal and accrued  interest
becoming due on August 5, 1999. In addition,  after the Company had borrowed the
full  $2,500,000  under the loan  agreement  during  the first  quarter of 1996,
National Patent  continued to fund the operating needs of the Company until July
1996.

         In July 1996, the Company issued 7% convertible  notes in the principal
amount of $1,000,000 in a private offering; the net proceeds to the Company were
$950,000.  National Patent has agreed to fund the Company  through  December 31,
1997, if necessary,  pursuant to the same terms and conditions as the $2,500,000
loan agreement.  National Patent will evaluate its future funding commitments to
the Company on a quarterly  basis.  As of September  30,  1997,  the Company had
borrowed  $3,758,000  from National  Patent reduced from  $4,057,000 at June 30,
1997. The indebtedness was comprised of (i) $2,500,000  pursuant to a $2,500,000
loan agreement  with National  Patent,  (ii) cash advances from National  Patent
totaling  $575,000,  and  (iii)  accrued  interest  at the prime  rate  totaling
$683,000.  The Company is  attempting  to secure a bank credit  facility,  issue
additional  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 or all activities. In addition,
there is no assurance that the terms of any 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 Operation

Quarter Ended September 30, 1997 Compared to Quarter Ended September 30, 1996

         Revenues.  In the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997,  the Company had
revenues of  approximately  $531,000  as  compared to revenues of  approximately
$328,000 for the quarter ended  September 30, 1996.  The increase in revenues of
$203,000 was primarily due to increased  sales of medical  equipment and generic
drugs in the Commonwealth of Independent  States. The sales of medical equipment
and generic drugs,  resulted in $132,000 of gross margin in the third quarter of
1997, compared to $66,000 of gross margin in the third 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 decreased to $256,000 in the third quarter of 1997 from $420,000 in the
third quarter of 1996. This decrease in general and  administrative  expenses in
1997 was primarily due to reduced consulting and personnel costs.

         Net Income.  The  Company's  loss was $247,000 for the third quarter of
1997 as compared to a loss of $286,000 in the third quarter of 1996. The reduced
loss for the  quarter  ended  September  30,  1997 was  primarily  the result of
reduced  general  and  administrative  expenses  and  increased  sales  and  the
corresponding  gross profit,  partially offset by reduced consulting revenue for
the quarter.

Nine  Months  Ended  September  30,  1997  Compared  to Nine  Months  Ended
September 30, 1996

         Revenues. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company had
revenues of  approximately  $1,854,000,  compared  to revenues of  approximately
$1,064,000  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996.  The  increase in
revenues of $790,000 was  primarily due to $860,000 in the form of a success fee
related  to a  project  with ICF  Kaiser  International  in the  Czech  Republic
partially offset by reduced sales of medical  equipment and generic drugs in the
Commonwealth of Independent  States.  The sales of medical equipment and generic
drugs  resulted in $229,000 of gross margin for the nine months ended  September
30, 1997, compared to $229,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 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  decreased from $1,182,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
to  $1,004,000  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as a result of
reduced  consulting and personnel  costs,  partially  offset by costs associated
with consulting projects.

         Net Loss.  The Company had a loss of $176,000 for the nine months ended
September  30, 1997  compared to a loss of $955,000 for the first nine months of
1996,   due  to  increased   consulting   revenues   and  reduced   general  and
administrative expenses, partially offset by increased interest expense.

Recent accounting pronouncement

     In February  1997,  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 128,
"Earnings per Share" (SFAS No. 128),  was issued.  SFAS No. 128  simplifies  the
standards  for  computing  earnings  per  share,  and  makes the  United  States
standards for  computing  earnings per share more  comparable  to  international
standards.  SFAS No. 128  requires  presentation  of "basic"  earnings per share
(which excludes dilution) and "diluted" earnings per share. The Company does not
believe the adoption of SFAS No. 128 in fiscal 1997 will have a material  impact
on the  Company's  reported  earnings per share.  SFAS No. 128 is effective  for
financial  statements  issued for periods  ending  after  December  15, 1997 and
requires restatement of all prior period earnings per share presented.

Forward-Looking   Statements.   This  report  contains  certain  forward-looking
statements  reflecting  management's current views with respect to future events

limited to the Company's ability to reverse its history of operating losses; the
Company's  ability to fund its operations;  and the Company's  ability to secure
