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

This Form 10-Q, or documents incorporated by reference, contains, in addition 
to historical information, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of 
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, which represent the 
Company's expectations or beliefs, including, but not limited to, statements 
concerning sales of the Company's products or services and operating income. 
The Company cautions that various factors, including, without limitation, the 
factors discussed below and in the Company's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K 
as well as general economic conditions and industry trends, a dependence upon 
and/or loss of key vendors or customers, the loss of strategic product 
shipping relationships, customer demand, product availability, competition 
(including pricing and availability), concentrations of credit risks, 
distribution efficiencies, capacity constraints and technological 
difficulties could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from 
those expressed in any forward-looking statements. New factors emerge from 
time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of such 
factors.

The Company's net sales increased by 6% to $3,729,000 for the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 from $3,505,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company's
operating income increased by 41% to $481,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1999 from $341,000 during the same period in fiscal 1998. The Company's cost of
goods sold were 56% of net sales for the quarter ended June 30, 1998, which was
unchanged as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Selling, general and
administrative expenses decreased to 31% of net sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 from 34% for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The primary reasons
for these changes are discussed below.

The results of operations of the Company are dependent upon the results of
operations of each of its subsidiaries operating in the Company's individual
business segments. Set forth below is a discussion of the results of operations
of each of these segments.


                                       8
<PAGE>


WASTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES SEGMENT

Net sales in the Company's Waste Management Services Segment, which operates
through Bio Systems Partners, Bio Waste Systems, Inc., and Medical Waste
Systems, Inc. (collectively, "Bio Systems"), increased 11% to $3,414,000 for the
first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $3,078,000 for the first quarter of fiscal
1998. As in the past few years, the sales growth is primarily due to securing
new hospital contracts for Bio Systems' core business of providing "sharps"
(including sharp-edged medical waste such as scalpels, syringes, and needles)
disposal services which utilize cost effective reusable containers. Due to cost
pressures, hospitals have become more receptive to out-sourcing certain services
such as sharps management. Additionally, the recent industry trend toward the
formation of hospital networks has enhanced Bio Systems' sales and market share
growth. Market forces and competitive pricing pressures have affected Bio
Systems' ability to increase prices with existing hospital and physician
customers. These factors also impact the prices Bio Systems is able to charge
new and potential customers.

Primarily as a result of the increase in net sales, Bio Systems' increased its
operating income approximately 30% to $513,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 from $396,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1997. Bio Systems' cost of
goods sold decreased slightly to 58% of net sales for the first quarter of
fiscal 1999 from 59% of net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Selling,
general, and administrative expenses also decreased slightly to 27% of net sales
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from 28% of net sales during the same period
in fiscal 1998. Bio Systems has been successful in controlling its operating
costs and expenses while increasing its net sales. Additionally, Bio Systems
incurred certain costs, primarily legal fees, in the first quarter of fiscal
1998 associated with the purchase of the minority partner's 40% partnership
interest in Bio Systems Partners in October 1997.

CONSUMER HEALTHCARE PRODUCTS SEGMENT

Net sales for the Consumer Healthcare Products Segment, which operates 
through Scherer Laboratories, Inc. ("Scherer Labs"), decreased approximately 
26% to $315,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $427,000 during the 
same period in fiscal 1998. The decrease in Scherer Labs' net sales is due to 
the following factors: (i) during the first quarter of fiscal 1999, Scherer 
Labs' largest customer reduced its buying volume for Scherer Labs' two core 
products which resulted in a significant decrease in sales orders for these 
products; (ii) increased competition for Scherer Labs' largest volume product 
and (iii) as a result of industry consolidation, some of Scherer Labs' other 
customers have either significantly decreased or discontinued their sales 
orders for Scherer Labs' products. Although Scherer Labs has taken action to 
regain the lost sales, there can be no assurance that Scherer Labs will be 
able to return its sales volume to the level prior to the factors discussed 
above.

As a result of the decrease in net sales, Scherer Labs' operating income
decreased 45% to $113,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999 from $205,000 for
the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

CORPORATE

The Company's operating expenses at the corporate level decreased to $145,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $260,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1997. Certain administrative, accounting, management oversight and payroll
services are performed by the Company's Corporate office. The Corporate
operating expenses include the salaries and wages of the personnel who perform
these functions, including the Company's executive officers, rent expense, and
professional accounting and legal fees. In February 1998, the Company relocated
its Corporate headquarters to another location in Atlanta, Georgia and as a
result reduced its rent expense by $65,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999,
as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Additionally, the Company
reduced its legal fees at the Corporate level by $59,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1997. In fiscal 1998
the Company incurred legal fees associated with certain litigation that was
settled in the second quarter of fiscal 1998. The Company does not allocate any
revenues to the Corporate level.

OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE).
-----------------------
The Company's interest income increased to $173,000 for the first quarter of 
fiscal 1999 from $53,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The increase 
is a result of the Company's investment, principally in marketable securities 
(see Note 4 to the accompanying Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial 
Statements included elsewhere herein), of the net proceeds received by the 
Company from the sale of Marquest Medical Products, Inc. ("Marquest") to 
Vital Signs, Inc. in July 1997.

                                       9
<PAGE>


The Company recorded interest expense of $47,000 during the first quarter of
fiscal 1998 and had no corresponding interest expense during the first quarter
of fiscal 1999. In July 1997, the Company used a portion of the proceeds from
the sale of Marquest to Vital Signs, Inc. to repay in full the outstanding
principal balance on a note payable to the adult children of an affiliate of the
Company.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $6,741,000 at June 30, 1998, a
decrease of $127,000 from March 31, 1998. Working capital increased to
$7,953,000 at June 30, 1998 from $7,376,000 at March 31, 1998. The Company's
long-term debt decreased slightly to $462,000 at June 30, 1998 from $504,000 at
March 31, 1998. The primary reasons for these changes are discussed below.

CASH FLOW FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES.
------------------------------------
The Company's cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations
totaled $243,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, as compared to $583,000
for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Bio Systems' operations provided cash of
$122,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, down from $374,000 for the first
quarter of fiscal 1998. This decrease is primarily due to the timing of
collection of its accounts receivable. As a result of the decrease in its net
sales, Scherer Labs' cash provided from operating activities decreased to
$85,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 from $142,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1997.

CASH FLOWS FROM INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES.
---------------------------------------------------
The Company's cash used for investing activities from continuing operations
totaled $282,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 1999, as compared to $150,000
(excluding cash provided from investing activities of discontinued operations of
$77,000) for the first quarter of fiscal 1998. Bio Systems made capital
expenditures during the first quarter of fiscal 1999 of $273,000 for equipment
and containers as a result of the growth in business.

Cash used for financing activities from continuing operations was $19,000 for
the quarter ended June 30, 1998, as compared to $151,000 (excluding cash used
for financing activities of discontinued operations of $332,000) for the quarter
ended June 30, 1997. During the first quarter of fiscal 1998, the Company made
installment payments of approximately $90,000 on a note payable to the adult
children of an affiliate of the Company. In July, 1997, the Company repaid in
full the outstanding principal balance on the note payable by using a portion of
the proceeds from the sale of Marquest to Vital Signs, Inc.

Management of the Company believes that its current cash on hand and its current
cash flow is sufficient to maintain its current operations. The Company
continues to evaluate its long-term options with regard to the use of its
remaining cash on hand.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 5.    OTHER INFORMATION
           -----------------

The Securities and Exchange Commission has made recent changes to the proxy
rules in Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
including Rule 14a-4 and Rule 14a-5. Stockholders are entitled to submit
proposals on matters appropriate for stockholder action consistent with the
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and with the
Company's Bylaws.

In connection with a stockholder's proposal to be presented at the 1999 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders where such stockholder has not sought inclusion of the
proposal in the Company's proxy statement and form of proxy, a proxy granted to
the Company's management will give management discretionary authority to vote on
any such stockholder proposal at the 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders if:

           (i) the Company's Corporate Secretary, Scherer Healthcare, Inc., 120
           Interstate North Parkway, Suite 305, Atlanta, Georgia 30339, receives
           such proposal after June 14, 1999; or

           (ii) if the Company's Corporate Secretary receives such proposal on
           or before June 14, 1999 and management describes the proposal and how
           it intends to exercise its discretionary voting authority with
           respect to such proposal in its proxy statement relating to the 1999
           Annual Meeting of Stockholders; provided that, even if the Company
           includes such information in its proxy statement, the Company's
           management may not exercise its discretionary voting authority if,
           among other things, the stockholder submitting the proposal provides
           the Company's Corporate Secretary with a written statement on or
           before June 14, 1999 that such stockholder intends to deliver a proxy
           statement and form of proxy to the number of stockholders required to
           carry the proposal.
