     ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE - Tech Labs recognizes sales when orders are shipped to
customers. The allowance for bad debts is accrued based on a review of customer
accounts receivables aging.

     INVENTORIES - Inventories are valued at cost or market, whichever is lower.
The FIFO cost method is generally used to determine the cost of the
inventories.  At December 31, 1997,  1998 and 1999 physical inventories were
taken and tested.  No physical inventory was taken on 3/31/00.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION - Additions to property and equipment are recorded at

                           Machinery                 5 to 7 years
                           Furniture & Fixtures      5 to 7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of
betterments is capitalized and depreciated at appropriate rates. Upon retirement
or other disposition of property items, cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of
income.

credit is provided for temporary differences between book and taxable income.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.

The information contained in this section should be used in conjunction with the
consolidated  Financial  Statements and Notes therewith appearing in this report
Form 10QSB and the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 1999.

     Quarter ending March 31,2000, Compared to Quarter Ending March 31, 1999

     Sales were  $319,243  for the first  quarter of 2000 as compared to $77,649
for the similar  period of 1999.  This increase was due to sales of our DynaTraX
(TM) products, acquired from Nordex/CDT in April, 1999. DynaTraX sales represent
fifty percent (50%) of the first quarter sales in the year 2000.

     Cost of sales of $140,622  for the first  quarter of the year 2000 has been
increased  by $88,597  compared  to the same  period of 1999,  primarily  due to
volume increases.

     Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by $57,961 compared
to the same period in 1999 due to expenses  incurred to support our higher sales
levels plus stock related expenses incurred to support the Company's SB-2 public
offering.

     Income from operations of $50,099  increased by $95,036  compared to a loss
of ($44,937) for the prior period as a direct result of increased sales.

     Quarter Ending March 31, 2000, Compared to Year Ending December 31, 1999.

SIGNIFICANT CHANGES

     In the  first  quarter  of the year  2000,  the  Company  reversed  several
negative trends.

     Sales trends  improved  substantially  due to the full  integration  of the
DynaTraX product line into the Company's sales and marketing efforts.

     Cash Flow for the first quarter of 2000 was negative  ($74,323) as a result
of Working Capital increases caused by higher sales.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

     On May 3, 2000, the Company successfully completed its SB-2 public offering
and raised  $2,273,723.  The effect of this offering on the Company's  financial
position will be included in the second quarter of the year 2000.

     As of March 31, 2000, $913,761 was escrowed awaiting the completion of the
offering.
