NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General

     The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
rules and regulations. These unaudited condensed financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the annual financial statements and related notes
contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996.

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
financial statements include all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the information
therein. Results of operations for interim periods should not be regarded as
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     On March 22, 1996, the Company sold to Microtek Medical, Inc. ("Microtek")
all of the Company's machinery, equipment and related tangible property
(including inventory and work-in-process) and all of its proprietary
information, and all other property and rights related to the Company's
manufacture and sale of adhesive skin drapes and scrub-and-prep products. The
purchase price consisted of $1,175,000 in cash and Microtek's undertaking to
make contingent payments for ten years of 11.5% of its sales of patented incise
drapes and 3% of its sales of other products in the Company's product line
incorporating the patented process, with a maximum of $1,825,000 on all
contingent payments and a maximum total purchase price of $3,000,000. The
Company's sales of items produced by the assets sold to Microtek accounted for
1.2% of its total sales in 1996.

2. Inventories

     Inventories at September 28, 1997 and December 31, 1996 have been stated at
the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined for substantially all
inventories using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. The Company changed to
the FIFO from the LIFO (Last-in, last-out) method of inventory accounting in the
fourth quarter of 1996. This change has been applied by retroactively restating
the accompanying financial statements for the prior year. The effect of changing
the accounting method for valuing inventories decreased net income by $24,000 or
1.2 cents per share in the third quarter of 1996, and decreased net income by
$54,000 or 2.7 cents per share during the first nine months of 1996. The
accounting change is further discussed in the Form 10-KSB for the year ending
December 31, 1996.

3. Earnings

     Earnings per share for the three months and nine months ended September 28,

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OPERATIONS

     As reported in the previous quarter's 10-QSB, July orders and sales were
unexpectedly strong for what has historically been a very slow period. A
vacation week shutdown was scheduled during July in conjunction with the July
4th holiday, to take advantage of an anticipated slow demand month. As a result,
management was forced to schedule substantial overtime operations during the
latter half of July and August which resulted in premium labor costs.

     Net sales for the third quarter of 1997 were $3,394,000, 4.8% greater than
in the similar quarter a year ago. Because of the continuing improvement in
product mix, average selling prices were up 4.3% as compared with the 1996
period.

     Through three quarters, glove sales were 3.1% or $324,000 less than in the
similar nine month period of 1996. Combined second and third quarter gloves
sales are up 2.2% over the 1996 similar period, but first quarter 1997 sales
were 19% below the 1996 quarter. The Company's new nitrile cleanroom glove began
to achieve acceptable market penetration during the final month of the third
quarter and management hopes the new product will add approximately 5% to fourth
quarter 1997 sales.

     Cost of goods sold was 91% in the third quarter of this year compared with
90% in the prior year third quarter. The costs associated with overtime
operations in July and August and continuing nitrile glove development trials
adversely affected the quarter's cost of goods. Fourth quarter operating results
probably will not be better than third quarter results due to the number of
holidays in November and December which affect operating time and overhead
absorption.

     Selling and Administrative ("S&A") expenses were $401,000 or 11.8% of sales
as compared with $400,000, 12.4% in the similar quarter of 1996. Selling expense
in the third quarter was $134,000, 4% of sales as compared with $155,000, 4.8%
in the prior year quarter. The 13.5% decrease in selling expense represents the
full effect of the Company's change from manufacturer's representatives to a
dedicated sales force. Administrative expense was $22,000 greater in the third
quarter than a year ago and reflects the addition of a systems analyst and an
accounting clerk and increased R&D expenses related to product development.

                                        7

     The Company experienced a net loss of $239,000 in the third quarter of 1997
and had a $94,000 loss on operations. This compares with a net loss of $7,000 a
year ago and an operating loss of $78,000. The 1996 third quarter had an
extraordinary gain of $175,000 from debt discharge. For the first nine months of
1997, the Company experienced a net loss of $667,000. Exclusive of the $761,000
gain on the sale of an asset and the $175,000 gain from debt discharge, the
Company experienced a net loss of $349,000 in the first nine months of 1996.

     The Company has elected to not pursue the approval of the FDA to market a
nitrile examination glove. If the intended transaction with LIG as discussed in
Item 5 herein, proceeds, the Company will attempt to manufacture a nitrile
examination glove to the specifications of LIG and may or may not offer similar
gloves for sale under the Phoenix label.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash used in operations during the third quarter of 1997 was $16,000 as
compared with $173,000 cash used in the similar quarter a year ago. Through
three quarters of 1997, $403,000 of cash has been used in operations as compared
with $771,000 used in the similar three quarters of 1996. Capital expenditures
were $15,000 in the third quarter and $108,000 in the three quarters of 1997.
Accounts payable increased $262,000 in the latest quarter and the sum of
inventories and accounts receivable increased $145,000 during the third quarter
of 1997. The Company has paid $365,000 interest expense during the first three
quarters of 1997 and has reduced its long term debt $191,000. Net cash increased
$2,000 in the third quarter of this year and has decreased $48,000 through three
quarters of 1997. The Company increased its borrowing against its line of credit
by $92,000 during the third quarter. Total bank debt is $4,754,000, $32,000
greater than at the end of the second quarter of 1997 and $463,000 greater than
at year end 1996. During September 1997, the Company's lender increased its
available line of credit from $3,000,000 to $3,750,000 to support the Company's
normal growth and its anticipated increased sales to LIG. In addition, if the
transaction with LIG (discussed in Item 5 herein) proceeds and is approved by
the Company's stockholders, the Company will receive $500,000 as payment of the
Option purchase price.

     In the event the Company's operating results fall short of its projections,
the borrowings described above are insufficient to fund its capital expenditures
requirements or the transaction with LIG is not consummated or approved by the
stockholders, the Company could be required to seek additional financing. For
any such additional financing, the Company will consider borrowings


                                      8

from commercial lenders and other sources of debt financing as well as equity
financing. No assurance can be given, however, that the Company will be able to
obtain any such additional financing when needed upon terms satisfactory to the
Company.
