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

    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
consolidated financial statements contained herein and the notes thereto. 
Certain matters discussed in this Report on Form 10-QSB are forward looking 
as that term is defined by: (i) the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act 
of 1995 (the "Act") and (ii) releases made by the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (the "Commission").  These statements are being made pursuant to 
the provisions of the Act and with the intention of obtaining the benefits of 
the "safe harbor" provisions of the Act.  The Company cautions investors that 
any forward looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees of 
future performance and that actual results may differ materially from those 
in such forward looking statements as a result of various factors, including 
but not limited to the following: changing market conditions; the 
availability and cost of raw materials; the timely development and market 
acceptance of the Company's products; the impact of competitive products and 
pricing; and other risks detailed herein or detailed from time to time in the 
Company's filings with the Commission.

SECOND QUARTER ENDED APRIL 30, 1997 COMPARED WITH SECOND QUARTER ENDED APRIL 
30, 1996

    Net sales in the second quarter increased from $580,800 for the 1996 
period to $930,200 for the 1997 period under review, an increase of 
approximately 60%, as a result of the Company's continued sales efforts in 
both domestic and foreign markets.  Net income increased from $63,200, or 
$0.02 per share, in the 1996 period, to a net income of $101,600, or $0.03 
per share, in the 1997 fiscal period, an increase of 61%.  Net sales for the 
first six months increased from $1,194,300 for the 1996 period to $1,769,100 
for the 1997 period, an increase of approximately 48%.  Net income for the 
first six months increased from $145,700, or $0.05 per share, in the 1996 
period, to a net income of $179,000, or $0.06 per share, in the 1997 fiscal 
period, and increase of 23%.

    For the second quarter, cost of goods sold increased from $263,200 in 
1996 to $479,500 in the 1997 fiscal period, an increase of approximately 82%. 
This increase was partially consistent with the increase in net sales 
although an increase in nuclide expenditures of approximately $25,000 was 
experienced as a result of procedural improvements to certain product lines.  
Management believes these expenditures will result in a reduced cost of goods 
for those product lines in the future.  For the six month period comparison, 
cost of goods sold increased from $606,800 in 1996 to $918,000 in the 1997 
fiscal period, an increase of approximately 51%.  This increase was generally 
consistent with the increase in net sales although, the development efforts 
described above also impacted the six month numbers.

    For the second quarter, general and administrative expenses increased 
from $207,400 in 1996 to $266,200 in the 1997 fiscal period, an increase of 
approximately 28%.  For the six month comparison, general and administrative 
expenses increased from $355,400 in 1996 to $555,000 in the 1997 fiscal 
period, an increase of 56%.  The increase in general and administrative 
expenses from the second quarter and six month fiscal 1996 periods was 
primarily a result of one time professional fees associated with new 
technical sales literature along with legal expenses associated with the 
Company's defense of a lawsuit which was dismissed earlier in this fiscal 
year.  General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales decreased 
in the second quarter and Management believes the legal and professional 
costs experienced during the first six months of fiscal 1997 will begin to 
stabilize during the third quarter to a level more consistent with previous 
years.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    At April 30, 1997, the Company had cash and short-term deposits 
aggregating approximately $873,400, compared to $647,400 at April 30, 1996.  
To date, the Company's short-term liquidity needs have generally consisted of 
operating capital to finance growth in trade accounts receivable and 
inventories.  The Company has satisfied these needs primarily through a 
combination of private and public equity financings and from cash generated 
by operations.  The Company has no long-term debt and has not had, or had the 
need for, a line of credit or similar arrangement with a bank.  Management 
anticipates that the Company's continued growth will be funded from 
operations or private sales of securities and believes that it will continue 
to have sufficient cash resources from such sources to fund its cash needs.

<PAGE>

    For the six month period ended April 30, 1997, cash flow from operations
generated approximately $50,200 compared to $227,000 for the comparable 1996
period.  Cash flow in investing activities used approximately $86,600 in the
1997 fiscal period compared to $61,600 in the comparable 1996 period.  The
increased use of cash for investing activities in the current period resulted
primarily from equipment purchases associated with the Company's new I-125
brachytherapy source line for treatment of prostate cancer.  

 SEASONALITY

    The Company's business is not significantly impacted by seasonal
fluctuations.  However, the first quarter of each fiscal year has traditionally
seen relatively slower demand associated with the holiday season.

IMPACT OF INFLATION
    
    The impact of inflation on the Company's operations is not significant.
