--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -8- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS. (a) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 1999, the Registrant's pre-tax income from operations amounted to $365,611, as compared to $303,202 for the same period last year. This improvement in results is due to an increase in operating profits during the quarter at Dextran Products Limited ("Dextran") of $41,185, and at Veterinary Laboratories Inc. ("Vet Labs") of $30,266. The improvement in operating profits at both Dextran and Vet Labs is primarily attributable to increased sales during the quarter as compared to the same quarter last year. Sales volume this quarter increased from the same period last year by $239,677. Dextran experienced a quarter over quarter increase in sales of $81,114 as a result of increased demand for its products and a decrease in intercompany sales, while Vet Labs experienced a quarter over quarter increase in sales of $158,563 due to increased sales of all product lines. The increase in sales in the liquids product line accounted for 53% of the total sales increase at Vet Labs. Within the injectable product line, there was a significant product mix variance. Injectable iron dextran sales declined by approximately $310,000 from the first quarter last year, however this reduction was more than offset by increased sales of other injectable vitamin products. The decline in injectable iron dextran sales is a result of the significant decline in hog production due to the Asian financial crisis. Asia has significantly reduced imports of hogs, which has forced North American hog producers to reduce their production. Gross margins increased from 31% in the first quarter last year to 32% this quarter. Dextran's quarter over quarter gross margin increased from 40% to 46% while Vet Labs' gross margin decreased from 18% to 16%. The margin increase at Dextran is due to product mix variances. Lower intercompany sales allows for increased production, and sales, of higher margin iron dextran product. The decrease in margin at Vet Labs is attributable to the decrease in injectable iron dextran sales. This is one of the highest margin products at Vet Labs. Liquids are generally a lower margin product line. Management expects strong sales and margins to continue at Dextran. The summer months are typically slower sales months for Vet Labs as large animals are put outdoors to pasture and therefore have less need for vitamins and other supplements. Management is therefore forecasting lower sales levels in the second quarter than was achieved in the first quarter at Vet Labs. Margins are expected to remain steady, but the expected lower sales volume may reduce operating profits for the coming quarter. General and administrative expenses increased by $24,661, primarily attributable to an increase in payroll from the prior year first quarter. -9- Depreciation and amortization increased by $11,629 from the same period last year primarily due to the capital expenditures at Dextran relating to plant refurbishment. Research and development costs increased by $37,101 as compared to the first quarter last year due to an increase in new product development costs relating to the development of a raw material for a human injectable product. Development costs to date relating to this project totaled approximately $50,000. Research and development, in conjunction with the University of British Columbia, involving the treatment of cystic fibrosis using a form of Dextran is continuing. Clinical trials are expected to commence once funding and government approvals are obtained. Research and development, in conjunction with the Rush Institute of the University of Chicago, relating to Cellulose Sulfate gel is progressing. The U.S. Food & Drug Administration has approved an Investigational New Drug (IND) exemption for Phase I human clinical trials to test the safety and tolerance of this gel. A nine-month trial, funded by The Consortium for Industrial Collaboration in Contraceptive Research, will begin immediately. Pre-IND tests have indicated that this gel holds great promise as a topical prophylactic for sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS, and as a contraceptive. Selling and promotion expenses in the quarter decreased by $24,776 as compared to the first quarter last year due to the termination during the first quarter last year of a contract with a marketing company. There was no similar expense this year. There was no significant quarter over quarter change in interest expense. Operating results for the first quarter ended April 30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended January 31, 2000. For further information, refer to the consolidated statements and footnotes thereto included in the Registrant's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 31, 1999. (b) LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Registrant in the first quarter generated cash flow from operations of $74,459 compared to the prior year first quarter cash flow from operations of $188,252. This decrease in cash flow from operations is primarily due to the large increase in accounts receivable. Dextran had larger than normal sales to its largest customer towards the end of the quarter, which increased the receivable balance. Accounts receivable at Dextran increased from $410,888 at the previous year-end to $685,256. There were no significant changes in inventory levels at either Dextran or Vet Labs during the quarter. The majority of capital expenditures on plant and equipment during the quarter relate to production equipment at Dextran. Management plans to continue to purchase equipment at Dextran, during the next quarter, as part of the plant refurbishment project. There are no production interruptions planned for the next quarter due to this refurbishment. -10- FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SAFE HARBOR This Form 10-Q, including the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains various "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, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, but not limited to statements regarding management's expectations of regulatory approval and the commencement of sales. In addition, statements containing expressions such as "believes", "anticipates" or "expects" used in this Form 10-Q, the Company's Annual Report, and the Company's periodic reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that these and similar statements in this Form 10-Q, the Company's Annual Report, and in previously filed periodic reports including reports filed on Forms 10-K and 10-Q are further qualified by important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, without limitation, changing market conditions, the progress of clinical trials, and the results obtained, the establishment of new corporate alliances, the impact of competitive products and pricing, and the timely development, FDA approval and market acceptance of the Company's products, none of which can be assured. Results actually achieved may differ materially from expected results included in these statements as a result of these or other factors. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normally recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. -11- ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK. The table below provides information about the Company's financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes. The Company does not have a material exposure to interest rate risk. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

All financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes. The Company's major exposure to exchange rate risk is that the Canadian dollar rises dramatically in relation to the U.S. dollar and that this significantly reduces the gross margin experienced at Dextran Products. Management monitors the margin at Dextran to ensure that an acceptable margin level is maintained. Management has the ability, to some extent, to adjust sales prices to maintain an acceptable margin level. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted average interest rates by expected maturity dates.
