(1)      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

         CASH -- Includes Tech Labs' checking account at Hudson United Bank and
money market accounts at Prudential Securities and Bear Stearns. There are no
Cash Equivalents.

         ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE -- Tech Labs recognizes sales when orders are
shipped to customers. The allowance for bad debts is accrued based on a review
of customer accounts receivables aging.

         INVENTORIES -- Inventories are valued at cost or market, whichever is
lower. The FIFO cost method is generally used to determine the cost of the
inventories. At December 31, 1998, 1999, and 2000, physical inventories were
taken and tested. No physical inventory was taken on September 30, 2001.

         PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION -- Additions to property and equipment are
recorded at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

                ASSETS                           ESTIMATED USEFUL LIVES

                Machinery                             5 to 7 years
                Furniture & Fixtures                  5 to 7 years

Maintenance and repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. The cost of
betterments is capitalized and depreciated at appropriate rates. Upon retirement
or other disposition of property items, cost and accumulated depreciation are
removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in the statement of
income.

         INCOME TAXES -- Income tax expense is based on reported income, and
deferred tax credit is provided for temporary differences between book and
taxable income.

         MARKETABLE SECURITIES -- The marketable securities are recorded at the
lower of cost or market. The cost of securities was $64,333 at December 31,
2000, and $56,103 at September 30, 2001.

(2)      Inventories.

         Inventories at December 31, 2000, and September 30, 2001, were as
follows:

(3)      Income/(Loss) Per Share.

         Preliminary Income/(Loss) per share was calculated on the weighted
average shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2001, weighted average shares
outstanding were 4,790,942.

         Fully Diluted Income/(Loss) per share was calculated on the weighted
average shares above plus 3,574,638 shares from the assumed conversion of the
remaining balance of the convertible notes issued in October, 2000.

(4)      Income Taxes.

         Since the Company has an operating loss carryforward of $2,292,591 as
of December 31, 2000, no interperiod tax allocation was made.

(5)      Current Portion of Long-Term Debt.

         Loans payable to banks were as follows for the periods indicated:

Certain marketable securities are pledged as collateral on the above loan.

(6)      Short-Term Loans Payable.

         Demand loans payable include loans from stockholders, officers, members
of the Board of Directors, and third parties. The outstanding loan balances due
as of December 31, 2000 were $73,759, and as of September 30, 2001, were
$63,593. The annual interest rate for these loans ranged between six percent
(6%) and ten percent (10%). One loan in the amount of $8,767 as of September 30,
2001, is secured by the assets of Tech Labs. In October, 1999, three short term
loans for a total of $200,000 at ten percent (10%) annual interest were
completed. Certain contractual revenues were pledged to secure these loans. As
of December 31, 2000, $150,000 of such loans were repaid, and $50,000 presently
remains outstanding and is due December 31, 2001.

(7)      Common Stock.

         In 1999, Tech Labs commenced a self-underwritten public offering to
raise between $2,000,000 (minimum) and $3,500,000 (maximum). The Company's
registration statement was declared effective February 3, 2000. This offering
was completed on May 3, 2000 and a total of $2,273,723 was raised.

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

         The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction
with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing in this
report Form 10-QSB and the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December
31, 2000.

                 Quarter ending September 30, 2001, compared to Quarter ending
September 30, 2000.

         Sales were $81,802 for the third quarter of 2001 as compared to
$265,453 for the similar period of 2000. This decrease was due to lower sales of
our DynaTraX(TM) products, which we believe is the result of the current
economic downturn in telecommunications capital spending.

         Cost of sales of $37,967 for the third quarter of 2001 decreased by
$97,873 compared to the same period of 2000, which is due to lower sales.

         Selling, administrative, and general expenses decreased by $64,808
compared to the same period of 2000. Due to lower sales, the Company reduced
administrative expenses and invested some of the resulting savings to further
improve DynaTraX(TM) technology.

         Loss from operations of ($146,453) increased ($55,550) compared to a
loss of $90,903 for the prior period as a direct result of the reasons set forth
above.

         Nine months ending September 30, 2001, compared to year ending December
31, 2000.

         During the first nine months of 2001, the Company made a significant
operating investment in expanding DynaTraX(TM) markets, improving DynaTraX(TM)
technology, and enhancing our security products.

         Cash Flow for the first nine months of 2001 was negative ($859,631) as
a result of the operating investment.

         Ciongoli dated as of August 24, 2001.
