RISK FACTORS

 

INVESTING IN OUR COMMON  STOCK  INVOLVES  RISKS.  PROSPECTIVE  
INVESTORS  SHOULD  CAREFULLY  CONSIDER  THE  FOLLOWING  RISK  FACTORS  
BEFORE  MAKING  A  DECISION  TO  PURCHASE  ANY  OF  THE  SECURITIES  
OFFERED HEREBY.


Our Cash Position May Be Insufficient to Fund Operations in the near Term and Our
Independent Auditor's Opinion Contains a "Going Concern" Qualification Which Raises
"Substantial Doubt" as to Our Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.


The Company experienced a significant decline in revenues during the past 18 months, although
revenues increased in the second quarter of 2003 compared to revenues in the second quarter of
2002. Management believes that, unless revenues increase significantly, the Company's cash
position will continue to decline. At current operating levels, the Company may be out of cash
within four months from the date hereof unless revenues increase or expenses are reduced. Currently
we have cash of approximately $240,000.   For the six months ended June 30, 2003, we sustained a
loss from operations of $345,000.  Over both the long and short term, liquidity will be a direct result
of sales and related net earnings although members of management have loaned PRCA money
from time to time.  If the options are exercised, PRCA's cash position will be enhanced.


The auditor's opinion to our 2002 Financial Statements states that it was prepared on the
assumption that we continue as a going concern.  Nevertheless, our independent auditor states
that because we have suffered recurring losses from operations and net capital deficiencies there
is "substantial doubt" that we will be able to continue as a going concern.  See "Independent
Auditors' Report" on page F-2 of our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.  We hope that the net
proceeds the Company may receive upon exercise of the options, together with the proceeds of
the SBA loan, receipt of the tax refund and recent upturn in business will alleviate this doubt,
although we can give no assurances that such will be the case.


We Have Experienced Significant Declines in Revenues and Operating Results During the Past
Eighteen Months.


Our results of operations are currently being, and have been in the past, and could in the future
be, significantly adversely affected by the downturn in the economy. We cannot predict when, or
if, the current downturn in the economy and our business will begin to improve, although
revenues increased in the second quarter of 2003 compared to revenues in the second quarter of
2002. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had a net loss of $2,176,406 on net
revenues of $2,127,457.  For the six months ended June 30, 2003, the Company had a net loss of
$345,018 on net revenues of $1,514,269.  Sales declined from $5,071,241 in 2000 to $2,127,457 in
2002, which is the reason for the decline in operating results.  We have not reduced our
workforce in response to the reduced revenues, and have continued our marketing efforts.  Our
operating results are affected principally by our ability to attract new research customers. Like
many other businesses, during times of economic slowdowns, our revenues have been adversely
affected through most of 2002.  The Company believes its sales were adversely affected by the
September 11 tragedy because travel by prospective customers, many of whom tour our facilities
as part of our marketing efforts, was greatly reduced.  We do not believe our sales are currently
impacted by such reduced travel.


</R>

We Have Been, and Continue to Be, Subject to Litigation Concerning the Performance of
Certain Research Contracts.


<R>                               

Over the years, we have entered into numerous contracts to develop formulae requested by our
clients which are intended to achieve certain targeted specifications. Our research has not always
developed formulations meeting all of the specifications desired by our clients, many of whom
have sued us claiming breach of contract. In those lawsuits, such clients have sought the return
of amounts paid and alleged consequential damages. We have defended those cases principally
on the basis that the contracts called for us to perform research in a commercially reasonable
manner, not to guaranty a specific result.  We have generally settled those lawsuits by agreeing
to return a portion of the purchase price.  One court has found that we breached the contract at
issue. If we continue to be subject to lawsuits in cases where we have not satisfied all of our
customers' specifications, and other courts agree that such failure constitutes breach of contract,
our financial condition and results of operations will likely be affected in a material adverse
manner. In addition, these legal proceedings and claims, whether with or without merit, could be
time-consuming and expensive to defend, and could divert management's attention and
resources.  The Company maintains product liability insurance, but such insurance does not
provide coverage for the failure, or alleged failure, to satisfactorily complete research contracts.


We Depend upon Certain Key Members of Management, One of Whom Is 78 Years Old.


The success of the Company is largely dependent on the efforts of Carl Horowitz, President of
the Company and the Company's co-founder, who is 78 years old and John Ryan, who is 47
years old, our principal sales person. The loss of the services of either could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. While Mr. Horowitz is in good health
and beneficially owns approximately 44.5% of our Common Stock, there can be no assurance
that he will continue to actively run the Company. Similarly, John Ryan, who has worked at the
Company for more than 20 years, has no employment agreement and no post-employment
restrictions, and could leave the Company's employ at any time. The loss of his services could
have a material adverse effect on the Company's sales and profitability.  We do not maintain key
man insurance on the lives of either Mr. Horowitz or Mr. Ryan.


Carl Horowitz and Irene Horowitz Beneficially Own a Substantial Portion of Our Common
Stock, and Are Likely in a Position to Determine the Outcome of Corporate Elections, Which
May Result in the Entrenchment of Management.


Carl Horowitz and Irene Horowitz, President and Senior Vice President and members of the
Board of Directors, beneficially own 44.5% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. By
virtue of such ownership and their positions with the Company, Carl Horowitz and Irene
Horowitz may have the practical ability to determine the election of all directors and control the
outcome of substantially all matters submitted to the Company's stockholders. Such
concentration of ownership could have the effect of making it more difficult for a third party to
acquire, or discourage a third party from seeking to acquire, control of the Company, and may
result in the entrenchment of management.

</R>                               

There Is Significant Competition in Our Businesses.


In our contract research and development business the Company competes with the in-house
research and development staffs of potential customers, and scientists at educational institutions
and foundations who will serve private customers.  Generally, the Company has not entered into

 

-4-

 


<R>                               

research contracts with companies that have in-house research staffs.  We are unaware of any
private company that competes with us in the sale of research in the field of chemical grafting.
Our strategy is to promote the advantages of our chemical grafting processes which allow bonding
to occur in many substrates without the application of heat.


Technological Changes May Render Our Technology Obsolete or Decrease the Attractiveness of
Our Services to Customers.


Our ability to compete, and our future results, may depend in part on our ability to market and
continue to develop cost effectively our technology and to introduce enhancements and additions
to our technology to meet customer demands and advancements in technology. To date, we are
not aware of any developments that have rendered our technology obsolete.  There can be no
assurance that we will successfully market and develop our technology, that technologies or
services developed by others will not render our services obsolete or noncompetitive, or that our
technology will continue to achieve acceptance in the marketplace. We believe the principal
technological advantage of our techniques is the ability to coat products without heat.


Our Patents May Not Be Enforceable or Provide Any Competitive Advantage.


The Company currently owns 4 patents which cover our basic grafting process, which expire
between 2004 and 2019.  We currently have no pending applications for additional patents.  In
addition, over the years, we have assigned twenty patents to our customers pursuant to research
contracts with those customers.  Generally, our contracts provide that any patents arising from
the work for a customer will be assigned to the customer.  Once assigned, we do not have any
contractual obligation to protect the patent rights or defend the assigned patent, although we
cannot ourselves exploit the invention covered by the patent because we grant our customers
exclusivity in their particular application.  We can give no assurance that any of the patents
which we possess or might possess in the future will be enforceable or, if enforceable, will
provide us with an advantage over our competitors or that such patents will not be rendered
obsolete by technological change.


The Absence of Dividends Means Stockholder Returns Are Dependent on the Price Appreciation
of Our Stock.


The Company has never paid cash dividends on its capital stock and does not anticipate paying
cash dividends in the foreseeable future, but intends instead to retain future earnings, if any, for
reinvestment in its business. Any future determination to pay cash dividends will be at the
discretion of the Board of Directors and will be dependent upon the Company's financial
condition, results of operations, capital requirements, and such other factors as the Board of
Directors deem relevant.  As a result, investors will only achieve a return of their investment if
the price of our stock increases.  The Company’s loan documents do not permit the payment of
cash dividends.


Sporadic Trading in the Market for Our Securities and Wide Fluctuations in Market Price May
Make it Difficult to Sell a Significant Number of Shares Without Adversely Affecting the Price
of Our Stock.


Our Common Stock is currently quoted on the over-the-counter Electronic Bulletin Board. There
is only sporadic trading in our Common Stock. Consequently, holders of our Common Stock
may have difficulty selling shares of our Common Stock owned by them, and there may be wide
fluctuations in our stock price.  During the past 2½ years, our stock has trades as high as $5.91
per share and as low as $.50 per share.

</R>                               

 

-5-

 


<R>                               

Our Common Stock Is Subject to Penny Stock Rules


Our common shares are subject to rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange
Commission relating to “penny stocks,” which apply to companies whose shares are not traded
on a national stock exchange or on the NASDAQ system, trade at less than $5.00 per share, or
who do not meet certain other financial requirements specified by the SEC.  These rules require
brokers who sell “penny stocks” to persons other than established customers and “accredited
investors” to complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors, and
provide investors with certain information concerning the risks of trading in such penny stocks.  
These rules may discourage or restrict the ability of brokers to sell our common shares and may
affect the secondary market for our common shares. These rules could also hamper our ability to
raise funds in the future.

 

UNCERTAINTY OF FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This prospectus includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as

condition of delays in payments received from third parties, economic conditions, and other
factors which may be set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Dividend Policy


The Company has paid no cash dividends to its stockholders since its incorporation and has no
present intention to do so. The payment of dividends in the future will be determined by the
Board of Directors based on the Company's earnings, financial condition, capital requirements
and other factors at the time. PRCA’s loan documents do not permit the payment of cash
dividends.


Shareholders Rights Plan


On July 20, 1995 the Company adopted a Shareholders Rights Plan. The Rights Plan provides
for the issuance of one stock right, entitling the holder to buy one share of Common Stock at a
price of $25 (subject to adjustment), for each outstanding share of the Company's Common
Stock. The rights will become exercisable only if an "acquiring party" (as defined) acquires or
announces a tender offer to acquire 15% or more of the Company's Common Stock. The rights
expire July 31, 2005 (See Note 9 of Notes to Financial Statements contained in the Annual
Report on Form 10-KSB, as amended, delivered with this Prospectus and incorporated
herein by reference).

and limitations. The Warrants expired unexercised. The issuance of the shares was exempt from
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a transaction not involving any
public offering. The sale of the 150,000 shares acquired in connection with the purchase of the
Units was subsequently registered under the Securities Act of 1933.


<R>

On December 27, 2000, the Company issued as a bonus to the chief executive officer and senior
vice president-sales, 50,000 restricted shares each of the Company's Common Stock.  PRCA
valued the shares at $1.0635 per share.  The shares have not been registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 and sales of the shares are subject to restrictions and limitations. The issuance of the
shares was exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as a
transaction not involving any public offering.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH
ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


On February 26, 2001, the Company engaged Goldstein & Ganz, P.C. ("GG") as the Company's
independent accountants to audit its December 31, 2000 financial statements, replacing
Castellano Korenberg & Co. (the "Former Accountants") as the Company's independent auditors.
The Former Accountants were dismissed by the Company as of February 26, 2001. The change
was approved by the Company's board of directors.


The Former Accountants' report on the Company's financial statements for 1999 and 1998 did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not qualified as to uncertainty,
audit scope or accounting principles.


During the Company's fiscal years ending December 31, 1999 and 1998 and any subsequent
interim period through the date of termination: (x) there were no disagreements between the
Company and the Former Accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices,
financial statements disclosures or auditing scope or procedures, (y) there were no "Reportable
Events" within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, and (z) GG was not
consulted on any matter specified in Item 304 (a)(2) of Regulation S-K.

 

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS --
DISCLOSURE OF COMMISSION'S POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION

 

Under provisions of PRCA's By-laws, any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being
a director or officer of PRCA, or any parent or subsidiary thereof, shall be indemnified by PRCA
to the full extent authorized by the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling PRCA pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, PRCA has been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers


Section 722 of the Business Corporation Law of New York (the "BCL") empowers a corporation
to indemnify any person made, or threatened to be made, a party to an action or proceeding,
other than one by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor, whether
civil or criminal, including an action by or in the right of any other corporation , or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, which any director or
officer of the corporation served in any capacity at the request of the corporation, by reason of
the fact that he was a director or officer of the corporation, or served such other corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise in any capacity,
against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including
attorney's fees actually and necessarily incurred as a result of such action or proceeding, or any
appeal therein, if such director or officer acted, in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably
believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any partnership, joint
venture, trust, employee benefit or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the
corporation and, in criminal actions or proceedings, in addition, had no reasonable cause to
believe that his conduct was unlawful.


The termination of any such civil or criminal action or proceeding by judgment, settlement,
conviction or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not in itself create a
presumption that any such director or officer did not act, in good faith, for a purpose which he
reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best
interests of the corporation or that he had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was
unlawful.


Section 722(c) of the BCL states that a corporation may indemnify any person made, or
threatened to be made, a party to an action by or in the right of the corporation to procure a
judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the
corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director or officer of any
other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise,
against amounts paid in settlement and reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually
and necessarily incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action, or in
connection with an appeal therein if such officer or director acted, in good faith, for a purpose
which he reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service for any other corporation or any
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit or other enterprise, not opposed to, the best

interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification under this provision shall be made in
respect of (1) a threatened action, or a pending action which is settled or otherwise disposed of,
or (2) any claim issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to
the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court on which the action was brought, or,
if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines upon application that,
in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to
indemnity for such portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.


Section 721 of the BCL states that the indemnification and advancement of expenses granted
pursuant to, or provided by, this article shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to
which a director or officer seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled,
whether contained in the certificate of incorporation or the by-laws or, when authorized by such
certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (i) a resolution of shareholders, (ii) a resolution of
directors, or (iii) an agreement providing for such indemnification, provided that no
indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other
final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in
bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of
action so adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to
which he was not legally entitled.


PRCA By-laws, as amended, provide:


To the extent permitted and in the manner provided by law, the
Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or
was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at
the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another
corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise,
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably  incurred by
him in connection with such action, suit or  proceeding. The
foregoing right of indemnification shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification
may be entitled under any agreement, vote of stock-holders or
disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall continue as to a
person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to
the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a
person.

Item 17.       Undertakings.


A.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:


(1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement (i) to include any prospectus required by section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement; (iii) to
include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.


(2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933,
each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


(3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

B.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will,
unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.


C.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:


(1) For the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the
information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement
in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant
pursuant to Rule 424 (b) (1) or (4) or 497 (h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to
be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.


(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

EXHIBIT 5

August 25, 2003                                                                  

Polymer Research Corp. of America
2186 Mill Avenue
Brooklyn, N.Y. 11234

Ladies and Gentlemen:

               We have acted as legal counsel for Polymer Research Corp. of America (the “Company”) in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement of the Company on Form S-2 for the registration under the Securities Act of 1933 of 500,000 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”). As such counsel, we are familiar with the Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the bylaws, as amended, of the Company.

               Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

               (1) the 500,000 shares of Common Stock to be registered pursuant to the Registration Statement have been duly authorized; and

               (2) the 500,000 shares of the Common Stock to be issued upon exercise of the options will, upon issuance, be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

               We are aware that we referred to under the heading “Legal Matters” in the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, and we hereby consent to such use of our name in the Registration Statement and such Prospectus, and to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement.

 

Very truly yours,

SHAPIRO MITCHELL FORMAN ALLEN & MILLER LLP

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The Interim financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures, normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations; nevertheless, management of the Company believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto as of December 31, 2002 included in the Company’s Form 10-KSB filed with SEC.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company with respect to the interim financial statements have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Business Activity

Polymer Research Corp. of America ("the Company") is predominately engaged in the research and development of the applications of chemical grafting for both domestic and international companies. The Company also produces and sells chemical formulations arising from research activities and textile printing inks. Revenue from research and production is derived from various customers throughout the United States and worldwide. .

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in several bank accounts at high credit quality financial institutions. The balances, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. At June 30, 2003, the Company did not exceed FDIC insured limits.

The Financial instrument, which potentially subjects the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk, is principally trade accounts receivable.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues are earned and recognized based upon the shipment of product or based upon the attainment of specific milestones or benchmarks specified in research agreements. Amounts received in advance for development agreements are recorded as deferred revenue and are recognized upon achievement of milestones.

The Company follows the guidance in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 101”). SAB 101 states that revenue should be recognized when all four of the following conditions exist: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; services have been rendered or delivery has occurred; the price is fixed or determinable; and collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue in the Statement of Operations is reflected net of discounts and allowances, which are not considered significant to the Companies operations. Although most research and development contracts provide for payments as milestones are achieved, the Company does negotiate discounts from time to time typically ranging from 15% to 20% for payment in full at the commencement of the contract.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for its income taxes utilizing statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” which requires that the Company follow the liability method of accounting for income taxes.

The liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities are recorded based on the difference between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, referred to as “temporary differences.”

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and the accompanying notes thereto included herein, and the financial statements included in its 2002 annual report on Form 10-KSB. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause the actual results, performance (financial or operating) or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements not to occur or be realized. Such forward-looking statements generally are based upon the Company’s best estimates of future results, performance or achievement, based upon current conditions, and based upon the most recent results of operations. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” believe,” “estimate,” anticipate,” “continue” or similar terms, variation of those terms or the negative of those terms. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other things, such factors as the ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, the effect on our financial condition of delays in payments received from third parties, economic conditions, and other factors which may be set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Cash and cash equivalents have decreased collectively by $128,315 since December 31, 2002. The decrease resulted principally from operating losses and repayment of long-term debt. In addition the Company received loan proceeds of $491,500 in 2003.

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities increased to 1.90 to 1.0 at June 30, 2003 as compared to 1.32 to 1.0 at December 31, 2002 principally as a result of the proceeds of a long term loan payable (see below) which provided cash net of operating losses which used cash. In April of 2003 the company received a loan from a bank totaling $491,500 bearing interest at 4% per year. After a period of 25 months with no payment, monthly payments of principal and interest of $2,434 will commence in the 26th month and then be paid monthly for 30 years.

Based on the above, the Company’s cash position at June 30, 2003 may not be sufficient to meet its financial needs including repayment of the bank and to cover any continued sales downturns in the short term. Cash at June 30, 2003 is equal to approximately two weeks overhead expenses. Over both the long and short term, liquidity will be a direct result of sales and related net earnings as well as bank financing. No significant capital expenditures are anticipated.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended June 30, 2003 v. 2002.

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2003 were $823,857 an increase of $209,081 (34%) compared with the second quarter of 2002. Research sales increased $256,148 (51%) in the second quarter of 2003 compared to 2002 due to a stronger economy resulting in increased demand. Product sales deceased $47,067 (41%) compared to the second quarter of 2002 due to decreased demand from research customers.

The cost of revenues in production increased to 105% from 96% in the first quarter of 2003 compared to 2002 as a result of decreased sales with similar payroll expenses and raw material costs.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of sales in the first six months of 2003 as compared to the same period of 2002 (from 83% to 67%) as a result of slightly increased sales with decreased legal expense and decreased payroll expenses. Loss from operations during the first six months of 2003 decreased from ($567,555) (35% of sales) in 2002 to a loss of ($249,692) (16% of sales) in 2003 as a result of increased sales and decreased legal settlement expenses.

The settlement reached in 2002 was structured in a manner so as not to adversely affect the Company's cash flow in any material fashion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to the financial statements in Item 1 of the Quarterly Report. Our financial statements are prepared in accordance with principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
