1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited 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 normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
    presentation have been included. The accompanying financial statements and
    notes should be read in conjunction with the Company's 1996 audited

2.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 are
    not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
    ending December 31, 1997.

3.  PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Pro forma net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss
    attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
    of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, after applying the
    treasury stock method and after giving effect to the reverse stock split and
    the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred
    stock in accordance with the Company's initial public offering.

    Pursuant to certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
    common stock equivalents include the impact of the issuance of stock,
    options and warrants within one year prior to the date of the initial filing
    of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") at exercise prices less
    than the initial public offering price per share, whether or not the effects
    are antidilutive.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$609,828 and $2,462,232, respectively.  Revenues for the three month period
reflects a decrease of $339,391 or 36% over the same period in 1996.  Revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflect an increase of $12,731,
less than 1%, over the same period in 1996.  Total revenues include sales of
injector products and services in addition to licensing and development fee
income.

Sales of injector products and services decreased by $62,966 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.
The number of injector units sold remained approximately unchanged in the third
quarter of 1997 as compared to the prior year period reflecting a decrease of
$100 in the average selling price per unit.  Sales of injector products and
services increased by less than 1% to $1,223,630 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  Injector sales,
which account for a majority of product sales in each of these periods, remained
approximately flat in spite of a 25% increase in unit volume in the 1997 period.
As in the quarterly period, the 1997 nine month period reflects a $100 decrease
in the average unit selling price which resulted in flat sales on higher unit
volumes.

Licensing and product development fee income decreased by $276,425 or 51% in the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and increased by $6,767 or less than 1% in
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996.
Fee income decreased in the quarterly period due to the fact that fewer
development projects were generating fee income in the third quarter of 1997
than in the third quarter of 1996.  The Company expects that licensing and
product development fee income will fluctuate on a quarter to quarter basis,
depending on a variety of factors.  These factors include the timing of the
execution of new development and licensing agreements and the timing, nature and
size of fee payments to be made under existing and new agreements.  In addition,
since the Company does not, in general, recognize project-based fee income until
related development work has been performed, quarterly results will fluctuate
with the timing of the Company's research and development efforts.

Cost of sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$263,114 and $811,122, respectively.  These figures reflect increases of $39,924
or 18% and $86,214 or 12% over the three and nine month periods of the prior
year, respectively. With unit volumes approximately flat in the quarterly
periods, the expense increase for these periods  relates in part to the
Company's product recall initiated in September 1997.  The recall resulted in
excess product scrap expense and an interruption of normal production activities
during the month of September 1997.  In the nine month periods, the increase in
expense can be attributed to a 25% increase in unit volume in addition to an
increase in manufacturing overhead costs of approximately $100,000 in 1997.  The
largest individual components of this increase were higher tooling amortization
costs and higher facilities costs.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
Research and development expenses decreased by 24% to $556,866 in the three
months ended September 30, 1997, from $730,308 during the same period in 1996.
The decrease in expenses in the 1997 period is attributable to the transition of
engineering efforts from heavy reliance on outside engineering service firms to
lower cost internally staffed resources.  Research and development expenses
totaling $1,899,300 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
approximately unchanged from the prior year period.

General and administrative expenses totaled $437,773 and $1,283,260 in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997.  In comparison to the prior year,
these figures reflect increases of $144,395 or 49% and $317,803 or 33%, in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The majority of
the increases during the 1997 periods can be attributed to two principal
factors.  The largest one relates to various expenses of being a publicly traded
company including; increased travel, legal, accounting and insurance expenses.
The second major factor is increased patent rights amortization expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $401,385 and $1,167,370 in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  These figures reflect year
to year increases of $128,942 or 47%, and $428,047 or 58%, in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  These increases are principally
attributable to added promotional activities in the U.S. diabetes market.

Net other income (expense), increased by $104,039 and $303,892 relative to the
prior year in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively.  These increases are attributable to both increased interest
income as a result of higher cash balances and lower interest expense due to
lower overall indebtedness in the 1997 periods.  Higher cash balances are the
result of an initial public offering completed in October 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $11,039,517 on December
31, 1996 compared to $8,404,434 on September 30, 1997.  The decrease results
primarily from an operating loss of $2,327,140 in addition to an increase of
$645,472 in fixed assets.

The Company's long term capital requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including the status of the Company's collaborative arrangements, the progress
of the Company's research and development programs and the receipt of revenues
from sales of the Company's products.  The Company believes that cash on hand,
interest expected to be earned thereon and anticipated revenues, will meet its
needs through the next twelve months.  In order to meet its capital needs beyond
this period, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through
public or private offerings, including equity offerings.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities (Use of proceeds from public offering)

         The Company's initial Registration Statement on Form S-1, file no. 333-
         6661, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
         on October 10, 1996. The offering of the Company's Common Stock covered
         by such Registration Statement commenced on October 2, 1996. Rodman &
         Renshaw and R.J. Steichen & Company acted as the managing underwriters
         ("the Representatives") for the offering. A total of 2,750,000 shares
         of Common Stock, including 330,000 shares subject to the
         Representatives over-allotment option and 220,000 shares subject to the
         warrants issued to the Representatives were registered. In addition,
         warrants to purchase 220,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the
         Representatives were also registered. The aggregate offering price of
         the registered Common Stock and warrants was $15,367,220. Of this
         amount, $12,100,220 representing 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock and
         warrants to purchase 220,000 shares of Common Stock have been sold. The
         underwriter's over-allotment option has expired and these shares were
         not sold. The Representative's warrant has not yet been exercised and
         consequently the offering has not yet terminated.

         The amount of expenses incurred for the Company's account in connection
         with the issuance and distribution of the securities registered are as
         follows:

2.  INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

    Operating results for the nine month period ended September 30, 1997 are
    not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
    ending December 31, 1997.

3.  PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Pro forma net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss
    attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares
    of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding, after applying the
    treasury stock method and after giving effect to the reverse stock split and
    the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of convertible preferred
    stock in accordance with the Company's initial public offering.

    Pursuant to certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
    common stock equivalents include the impact of the issuance of stock,
    options and warrants within one year prior to the date of the initial filing
    of the Company's initial public offering ("IPO") at exercise prices less
    than the initial public offering price per share, whether or not the effects
    are antidilutive.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996

Total revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$609,828 and $2,462,232, respectively.  Revenues for the three month period
reflects a decrease of $339,391 or 36% over the same period in 1996.  Revenues
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 reflect an increase of $12,731,
less than 1%, over the same period in 1996.  Total revenues include sales of
injector products and services in addition to licensing and development fee
income.

Sales of injector products and services decreased by $62,966 in the three months
ended September 30, 1997 compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996.
The number of injector units sold remained approximately unchanged in the third
quarter of 1997 as compared to the prior year period reflecting a decrease of
$100 in the average selling price per unit.  Sales of injector products and
services increased by less than 1% to $1,223,630 in the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  Injector sales,
which account for a majority of product sales in each of these periods, remained
approximately flat in spite of a 25% increase in unit volume in the 1997 period.
As in the quarterly period, the 1997 nine month period reflects a $100 decrease
in the average unit selling price which resulted in flat sales on higher unit
volumes.

Licensing and product development fee income decreased by $276,425 or 51% in the
three months ended September 30, 1997 and increased by $6,767 or less than 1% in
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to the same periods in 1996.
Fee income decreased in the quarterly period due to the fact that fewer
development projects were generating fee income in the third quarter of 1997
than in the third quarter of 1996.  The Company expects that licensing and
product development fee income will fluctuate on a quarter to quarter basis,
depending on a variety of factors.  These factors include the timing of the
execution of new development and licensing agreements and the timing, nature and
size of fee payments to be made under existing and new agreements.  In addition,
since the Company does not, in general, recognize project-based fee income until
related development work has been performed, quarterly results will fluctuate
with the timing of the Company's research and development efforts.

Cost of sales in the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
$263,114 and $811,122, respectively.  These figures reflect increases of $39,924
or 18% and $86,214 or 12% over the three and nine month periods of the prior
year, respectively. With unit volumes approximately flat in the quarterly
periods, the expense increase for these periods  relates in part to the
Company's product recall initiated in September 1997.  The recall resulted in
excess product scrap expense and an interruption of normal production activities
during the month of September 1997.  In the nine month periods, the increase in
expense can be attributed to a 25% increase in unit volume in addition to an
increase in manufacturing overhead costs of approximately $100,000 in 1997.  The
largest individual components of this increase were higher tooling amortization
costs and higher facilities costs.

                                       7
Research and development expenses decreased by 24% to $556,866 in the three
months ended September 30, 1997, from $730,308 during the same period in 1996.
The decrease in expenses in the 1997 period is attributable to the transition of
engineering efforts from heavy reliance on outside engineering service firms to
lower cost internally staffed resources.  Research and development expenses
totaling $1,899,300 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were
approximately unchanged from the prior year period.

General and administrative expenses totaled $437,773 and $1,283,260 in the three
and nine months ended September 30, 1997.  In comparison to the prior year,
these figures reflect increases of $144,395 or 49% and $317,803 or 33%, in the
three and nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  The majority of
the increases during the 1997 periods can be attributed to two principal
factors.  The largest one relates to various expenses of being a publicly traded
company including; increased travel, legal, accounting and insurance expenses.
The second major factor is increased patent rights amortization expenses.

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $401,385 and $1,167,370 in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  These figures reflect year
to year increases of $128,942 or 47%, and $428,047 or 58%, in the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1997, respectively.  These increases are principally
attributable to added promotional activities in the U.S. diabetes market.

Net other income (expense), increased by $104,039 and $303,892 relative to the
prior year in the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997,
respectively.  These increases are attributable to both increased interest
income as a result of higher cash balances and lower interest expense due to
lower overall indebtedness in the 1997 periods.  Higher cash balances are the
result of an initial public offering completed in October 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $11,039,517 on December
31, 1996 compared to $8,404,434 on September 30, 1997.  The decrease results
primarily from an operating loss of $2,327,140 in addition to an increase of
$645,472 in fixed assets.

The Company's long term capital requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including the status of the Company's collaborative arrangements, the progress
of the Company's research and development programs and the receipt of revenues
from sales of the Company's products.  The Company believes that cash on hand,
interest expected to be earned thereon and anticipated revenues, will meet its
needs through the next twelve months.  In order to meet its capital needs beyond
this period, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through
public or private offerings, including equity offerings.

Item 2.  Changes in Securities (Use of proceeds from public offering)

         The Company's initial Registration Statement on Form S-1, file no. 333-
         6661, was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission
         on October 10, 1996. The offering of the Company's Common Stock covered
         by such Registration Statement commenced on October 2, 1996. Rodman &
         Renshaw and R.J. Steichen & Company acted as the managing underwriters
         ("the Representatives") for the offering. A total of 2,750,000 shares
         of Common Stock, including 330,000 shares subject to the
         Representatives over-allotment option and 220,000 shares subject to the
         warrants issued to the Representatives were registered. In addition,
         warrants to purchase 220,000 shares of Common Stock issued to the
         Representatives were also registered. The aggregate offering price of
         the registered Common Stock and warrants was $15,367,220. Of this
         amount, $12,100,220 representing 2,200,000 shares of Common Stock and
         warrants to purchase 220,000 shares of Common Stock have been sold. The
         underwriter's over-allotment option has expired and these shares were
         not sold. The Representative's warrant has not yet been exercised and
         consequently the offering has not yet terminated.

         with the issuance and distribution of the securities registered are as
         follows:
