     cash to American Home Assurance Company, recognizing a gain of $8,622,000
     on the transaction. We retain ownership of 623,515 equity units
     representing approximately 7 percent of the equity of Risk, after a capital
     infusion of $5,000,000 in Risk by American Home Assurance Company.

5.   Sale of Partial Holdings in S1 Corporation - In the first and third
     quarters of 2000, we sold a total of 4,000 shares of common stock of S1

     a company that had acquired the assets of our Intelligent Enclosures
     operation in April 1998. Under the terms of the acquisition agreement, the
     purchase price was to be paid in common stock of Daw based on a formula
     related to the trading price of DAWK common stock in April 2000.
     Consequently, the $1.3 million guaranteed purchase price which had been
     carried in prior periods on our balance sheet as an "other asset" is
     treated as a marketable security at September 30, 2000 in accordance with
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 as explained in Note 1

     recognizing a gain of $800,000. At September 30, 2000 we retain ownership
     of 16,431 shares of PKSI stock. The stock in PKSI was received as
     consideration for our shares of stock in 2Order.com upon the merger of

     on the balance sheet at September 30, 2000, we account for this asset as a
     marketable security in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 115.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary - Our consolidated operating subsidiaries in 2000 are ChemFree, QS
Technologies and PsyCare America. In the first quarter of 1999, we also
consolidated the results of our InterQuad subsidiary prior to its sale in
February 1999. Part of the difference in consolidated operating results between
the first nine months of last year and this year is a result of not including
the InterQuad operation and its financial losses in the results for 2000.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2000, our losses from
operations reflect principally the corporate overhead expenses. We recognized a
significant return on the sale of part of our investment in Risk Laboratories in
March 2000, which contributed significantly to net income of $8.4 million for
the nine months of 2000 compared to a loss of $677,000 for the same period in
1999.


                                                                          Page 6

<PAGE>   7

As a result of the transaction explained in note 10 to these financial
statements, results of operations for future periods will not include revenue
and expenses related to the PsyCare operation after November 1, 2000.

Sales - We generate revenue from operations of our consolidated subsidiaries in
two industry segments: technology-related products and services, and health care
services. For the three month period ended September 30, 2000, net sales were
$1,630,000, a decline of ten percent compared to the third quarter in 1999.
Revenue declined in the third quarter this year compared to last year at the
PsyCare subsidiary due to a reduction in the number of programs operated and
revenue per program. The decline in revenue at the PsyCare operations was offset
in part by revenue increases at the ChemFree subsidiary. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, revenue was $5.6 million, a decline of 15 percent
compared to the same period last year. The major factors contributing to lower
revenue for the nine month period are the sale of the InterQuad subsidiary,
which had contributed revenue of $581,000 in the same period in 1999, and the
lower revenue levels at the PsyCare subsidiary.

Cost of sales - Cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 39 percent in the
three month periods ended September 30, 1999 and 2000. For the year to date
period, cost of sales was 41 percent in 2000 compared to 48 percent in the same
period last year. The improvement reflects mainly the sale of the InterQuad
subsidiary which had a relatively high cost of sales compared to the ongoing
operating subsidiaries as well as improved margins at the ChemFree and QS
Technologies subsidiaries.

Operating Expenses - Marketing expenses increased in absolute dollars in the
three month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same period last
year but declined in absolute dollars for the year-to-date period this year as
compared to the same period last year. During the three month period, the
increase is attributable to higher expenditures at the ChemFree operations to
support higher revenue levels whereas for the nine month period, most of the
period-to-period decline is due to the sale of InterQuad and the elimination of
its related expenses in the 2000 financials. General and administrative expenses
were approximately the same in the third quarter and nine month periods for 2000
as compared to the respective periods last year. Included in the nine month
expenses for 2000 is a non-recurring bonus expense of $150,000 recorded in the
first quarter this year related to the successful completion of the Risk
transaction that was offset by the elimination of general and administrative
expenses associated with the InterQuad operation last year. Research and
development expense increased in the three and nine month periods of 2000
compared to the same periods in 1999 at both the QS Technologies and ChemFree
subsidiaries to support more new product development.

Interest Income - We had net interest income of $55,000 and $141,000 in the
third quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, in 2000. This compares
with net interest expense of $3,000 and $71,000, respectively, for the same
periods in 1999. During the three and nine month periods this year, we had a
lower level of notes payable outstanding and we earned interest on higher cash
levels and notes receivable, compared to the same periods in 1999.

Investment Income - For the third quarter of 2000, we recorded investment income
of $579,000 compared to an investment loss of $815,000 in the same period last
year. For the current quarter, investment income includes gains totaling
$826,000 related to the sale of shares of Primus and SI stock (refer to Notes 5
and 7) as well as $247,000 representing our pro rata share of net losses of our
affiliate companies that are recorded under the equity method. Last year,
$556,000 of the investment loss was related to our pro rata shares of net losses
of affiliates accounted for by the equity method. For the year to date periods
in 2000, we recorded investment income of $8,948,000 compared to income of
$57,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999. Included in the nine month
figures for 2000 is a gain of $8,622,000 on the partial sale of our ownership
interest in Risk Laboratories LLC (refer to Note 4). In addition, we realized
gains totaling $1,033,000 related to the sales of shares of Primus and SI stock
as


                                                                          Page 7
<PAGE>   8

well as some other immaterial miscellaneous income. Offset against these
gains were $692,000 in net losses in equity of affiliate companies accounted for
by the equity method. By comparison, in the first nine months of 1999, we
realized net gains totaling $916,000 on sales of investments in three software
companies and $859,000 in net losses in equity of investments accounted for by
the equity method.

Taxes - In the third quarter and year-to-date periods of 2000, we provide for a
total of $213,000 in income taxes payable that relate to gains on the Risk
transaction (most of the gains were offset by tax loss carryforwards) and income
from operations at the QS Technologies subsidiary.

Minority Interest - This amount represents the pro rata ownership share of
minority shareholders in certain non-wholly-owned subsidiaries of the company.

Common Shares - In the first nine months of 2000, three officers of the company
exercised options to acquire a total of 570,000 shares of common stock and
turned in to the company a total of 101,769 shares of common stock in partial
payment of the exercise price. The company also initiated a stock repurchase
program in September 2000. Thus the average number of diluted shares outstanding
during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2000 were 5,608,529
and 5,618,895, respectively, representing a ten percent increase over the
comparable periods in 1999.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

In the first nine months of 2000, our principal sources of cash were $8,701,000,
net of sales expenses, from the sale of 2,310,000 equity units of Risk
Laboratories, $252,000 from the sale of 4,000 shares of S1 Corporation, and
$1,177,000 from the sale of 50,000 shares of PKSI stock. Our main uses of cash
were $2,956,000 to pay a $0.52 per share dividend to shareholders in April 2000;
a total of $3,154,000, net, for new and follow-on investments in early stage
technology companies, including MiracleWorker.com, ThinkWorks, RF Solutions,
Medizeus, Screen4me, UtilConnect, Ardext Technologies, Nutec Sciences and NKD
Enterprises; $2,135,000, net, in loans to investee companies, the largest of
which is a short term demand note of $2.0 million to PaySys International, Inc.;
and $46,000 for the repurchase of our common stock.

Inventory increased by $265,000 at the ChemFree subsidiary to support higher
sales levels of both domestic and international shipments. Other current assets
increased at September 30, 2000 compared to December 31, 1999, in part due to
$71,000 in notes from officers of the company that were issued in partial
payment of the exercise price of stock options exercised by the officers in
January 2000. Long-term investments increased at September 30, 2000 compared to
December 31, 1999 mainly as a result of net new investments totaling $3,154,000
in early stage technology companies. At September 30, 2000, unrealized gains
totaling $1,076,000 in the shares of SONE, PKSI, DAWK, HHNT and AGIX are
reflected as a separate category of shareholders' equity on the balance sheet.
The value of these holdings at September 30, 2000 is lower than the value at
June 30, 2000 due to the partial sale of our holdings in PKSI during the quarter
and a general decline in the trading prices of the securities.

In September 2000, we negotiated an increase in our bank line of credit to $2.0
million. We have no borrowings under the line as of September 30, 2000. We
believe we have adequate cash and access to capital to support our operations
and plans for the foreseeable future.
