Note 2 - Segment Information

     The Company has two reportable segments: research and development and
     clinical reference laboratories. The Company's research and development
     segment conducts research and development activities as well as selling
     products derived from these activities. The clinical reference laboratories
     provide diagnostic services to the health care community. The Company
     evaluates performance based on income before provision for taxes on income.
     The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those
     described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Costs excluded
     from income before provision for taxes on income and reported as other
     consist of corporate general and administrative costs which are not
     allocable to the two reportable segments. Management of the Company
     assesses assets on a consolidated basis only and therefore, assets by
     reportable segment has not been included in the reportable segments below.


The following financial information (in thousands) represents the reportable
segments of the Company:

Item 2- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At October 31, 2001, our cash and cash equivalents totaled $61.2 million, an
increase of $2.5 million from July 31, 2001. We had working capital of $87.2
million at October 31, 2001 compared to $85.1 million at July 31, 2001.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the period ended October 31, 2001
was approximately $2.8 million and as compared to net cash provided by operating
activities of $2.5 million for the period ended October 31, 2000. The increase
in net cash provided by operating activities from 2000 to 2001 period was
primarily due to an increase in net income and a reduction in other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by approximately $.2 million
from 2001 period, primarily as a result of an decrease in capital expenditures.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by approximately $.4 million
from 2001 period primarily as a result of the decrease in proceeds from the
exercise of stock options.

We believe that our current cash position is sufficient for our foreseeable
liquidity and capital resource needs, although there can be no assurance that
future events will not alter such view.

Management is not aware of any material claims, disputes or settled matters
concerning third-party reimbursements that would have a material effect on our
financial statements

Results of Operations

Three months ended October 31, 2001 compared with three months ended October 31,
2000

         Revenues from operations for the period ended October 31, 2001 were
$14.9 million which represents an increase of $1.0 million over revenues from
operations for the period ended October 31, 2000. This increase was due to an
increase of $.3 million in revenues from our clinical reference laboratory
operations and an increase of $.7 million in revenues from research product
sales over revenues for such activities. The increase in revenues from the
clinical laboratory operations resulted primarily from an increase in volume of
esoteric testing and from an increase in doctor accounts being serviced. The
increase in research product sales resulted primarily from and an increase in
direct sales of research products of labeling and detection reagents for the
genomics and sequencing markets.

The cost of clinical laboratory services increased by $.7 million primarily due
to an increase in direct operating expenses based on the increased sales volume
of testing. In addition, the cost of sales for research products decreased by
$.3 million as a result of a change in the revenue mix from two of the Company's
non-exclusive distribution agreements.

Our provision for uncollectible accounts receivable increased by $.2 million,
primarily due to an increase in revenue from the clinical reference laboratory.


                                       8




General and Administrative expenses decreased by approximately $.2 million as a
result of a decrease in legal fees.

Interest income, decreased by $.4 million as a result of a decrease in interest
rates.

For the periods ending October 31, 2001 and 2000 we recorded a provision for
income taxes of $1.3 million which was based on the combined effective federal,
state and local income tax rates.

PART II - Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In 1993, the Company filed suit in U.S. district court against Calgene, Inc.,
alleging that Calgene's "Flavr Savr" tomato infringed several of the Company's
patents concerning antisense technology. After a trial, the district court ruled
against the Company, ruling that claims of these patents were invalid and not
infringed. In September 1999, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
affirmed the decision of the district court. On August 10, 2001, the case was
dismissed pursuant to stipulation of the parties, with each party to bear its
own costs and attorneys' fees. No significant adverse monetary impact to the
Company occurred.

In June 1999, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York against Gen-Probe Incorporated, Chugai Pharma
U.S.A., Inc., Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., bioMerieux, Inc., bioMerieux SA,
and Becton Dickinson and Company, charging them with infringing the Company's
U.S. Patent 4,900,659, which concerns probes for the detection of the bacteria
that causes gonorrhea. On January 26, 2001, the court granted the defendants'
motion for summary judgment that the Company's patent is invalid. The grant of
summary judgment is being appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit. The appeal proceedings are at an early stage. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in these proceedings. However, even if the
Company is not successful, management does not believe that there will be a
significant adverse monetary impact.
