RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following tables compare the years ending June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000
and the prior comparative year ending June 30, 1999 and shows the year to year
variances on a dollar and percentage basis for informative purposes. All dollar
amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand.

Laboratory revenues:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   6/30/01       6/30/00      6/30/99      01 vs. 00    00 vs. 99    01 vs. 00     00 vs. 99
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 
    $1876         $1,371       $1,405        $505         ($34)         37 %          -2%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Laboratory revenues increased in 2001 due to increases in size and number of
clinical trials for which the laboratory performed testing and consulting work.
Laboratory revenues decreased in 2000 due to decreases in these same variables.
As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into an agreement to sell the
laboratory. Accordingly, assuming that the laboratory is sold in fiscal 2002,
laboratory revenues will no longer contribute to the revenues of the Company
subsequent to such sale.

Product revenues:

Product revenues are no longer presented as they have not contributed materially
to revenues in the prior two fiscal years and are not expected to contribute
materially in the future.

Laboratory expenses and cost of goods sold:


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   6/30/01       6/30/00      6/30/99      01 vs. 00    00 vs. 99    01 vs. 00     00 vs. 99
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                 
     $962          $951        $1,233         $11         ($282)         1%          -23%
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Laboratory expenses and cost of goods sold expenditures in 2001 were comparable
to 2000. In 2000, the decrease in expenses and cost of goods sold reflected
significant cost-cutting measures implemented as a result of the Company's
severe financial problems.

Diagnostic research and product development:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenditures in 2001 were comparable to
2000. The decrease in selling, general and administrative costs in 2000
reflected significant cost-cutting measures implemented as a result of the
Company's severe financial problems.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The increase in net other income in 2000 is primarily due to fees paid by
Saigene in consideration of extending the deadline for purchase of the
laboratory. The higher other expense in 1999 is primarily due to the other
expense related to the write-down of OsteoPatch(TM) assets.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The net loss decrease in 2001 is due to increased revenues and a stable level of
expenditures. The net loss decreased in 2000 due to curtailed expenses in all
areas and significant write-downs taken in 1999.
