MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

The Company’s revenues for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $1,861,204 as compared to $1,946,330 for the same period last year or a 4.4% decrease. Revenues are comprised of the sale of Products and Services and Royalty, Options and License payments.

Product sales and services were $1,300,033 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to
$1,352,792 for the same period last year, a decrease of $52,759 or 3.9%. The timing of product sales
(accelerated into the quarter ending June 30, 2005 or delayed, at the customer’s request, post-Sept 30th),
reduced product sales by approximately $40,000.

Royalty, license and option revenues from patented products were $561,171 for the quarter, down 5.5%
from $593,538 the same period a year ago. The September 30, 2004 quarter included $524,000 in
royalties and option revenues related to the Company’s ‘267 patent which expired in May 2005. The
Company was successful in reaching new agreements during the quarter ended September 30, 2005
with three of the four former licensees. The new agreements, primarily supply and availability
agreements, provides for revenues at approximately 80% of the previous royalty level. The more
significant new agreement, a three year agreement with a renewal option but also a 90-day termination
clause, was effective upon the expiration of the ‘267 patent, allowing for an additional $175,000 to be
realized this quarter.

As of September 30, 2005, our open sales order book for delivery this fiscal year was approximately
$1,677,000. Although some of these orders are subject to cancellation, the Company is of the opinion
that no substantial cancellations will occur. Our open order book excludes though, future orders that
would come up during the normal course of business for immediate delivery also during the fiscal year.


Total Expenses for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 were $2,106,355 as compared with $1,969,716 the year before, an increase of 6.9%.

The Company’s Cost of Goods Sold was $817,348 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared
with $698,758 the year prior, an increase of 17.0%. The change in the mix of higher cost margin products
sold this quarter in addition to higher direct labor costs (including fringe benefits) resulted in the higher
cost of goods sold.

Operating expenses were $1,381,733 for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared with
$1,277,784 the year before, higher by $103,949 or 8.1%. The Company expended an additional
$77,000 in litigation costs this quarter in its continued infringement claim against a former licensee and
other parties. This amount was $43,000 higher than the corresponding period a year ago. To date,
since March 2004 when formal legal action was initiated, $329,000 in legal fees has been spent. Such
legal actions ceased infringement by one of the parties, which allowed the Company to increase sales
during the past fiscal years in the T-Hexx business line. An arbitration hearing held in September 2005
provided no results to settle the matter.  On November 9, 2005, the Company got a default judgement
against its former licensee, AST, Inc.  The Company is vigorously pursuing its case against Veterinary
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  Also included in this quarter’s operating expenses is $33,592
for the Company’s announced 401(k) matching contributions on the employees’ July 2004 - June 2005
contributions. The Company match for the previous year was announced in November 2004.

Interest expense, included in Other Expenses, for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and
September 30, 2004 were $41,216 and $24,208, respectively, higher as a result of the mortgage
refinance on June 30, 2005. The refinance provided the Company an additional $1,091,643 in funds
which the Company is using for working capital requirements and investments in short-term
instruments.

- 7 -



A net loss of $245,151 ($0.05 per share) is reported for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 as compared to a net loss of $23,386 ($0.01 per share) the year before.

Although the Company’s sales are not cyclical, its revenues have been historically lower in the first
quarter as compared with the other quarters as of recent. Combined with higher costs and expenses,
some due to timing, some non-recurring, a net loss resulted for the period. It is the Company’s
investment back into the Company (R&D staffing, engineering department, patent estate) which
increases the current operating expenses for expected returns in the future. Our developmental projects,
including those Medical related, are typically long-term initiatives where the costs come way before any
revenues are returned. We have seen an annualized compounded growth rate of 22% in revenues over
the past ten years as a result of our reinvestment back into the Company.


Financial Condition

Working capital decreased $308,966 during the three months ended September 30, 2005.
 
        The collection of trade and Royalties receivables utilized for the repayment of accounts payable,
        accrued liabilities and the current period's working capital/operational needs reduced working capital.
 
Net operating activities used $12,983 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005.

The net loss as adjusted for non-cash expenses used $315,408 in net cash. Working capital accounts
provided $302,425 in net cash: primarily due to the decrease in accounts receivables by $498,681 as
offset by a decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $148,026.

Investing activities used $439,809 and financing activities used $236,341 during the quarter ended September 30, 2005.

During the quarter, the Company purchased $392,633 in 6-month U.S. Treasury Bills, recorded
as short-term investments, and expended $47,176 on capital expenditures. The Company also repaid
down its revolving line of credit by $206,663 during the period.

Management believes that its current working capital and available line of credit, along with expected income and expense streams, are sufficient to maintain its current level of operations.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The evaluation of the Company’s Internal Controls Environment concluded that it was effective for the safeguarding of assets and in ensuring that management is presented material information regarding the organization. The evaluation also determined that there are areas that could be improved upon; however, the controls and procedures in place were appropriate for the type and size of the Company.
 
The Company has again reviewed its Internal Controls Environment during the prior 90 days, and it has been determined that there have been no significant changes in internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the financial statements.
