this transactionCertain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
In 1994 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities: ("SFAS No. 115"). The Company's
marketable securities consist of corporate equity securities.
Under SFAS No. 115, the Company classifies these equity
securities as available-for-sale and records the securities at
their fair value. Unrealized holding gains and losses on
available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and are
reported as a purchase byseparate component of stockholders' equity until
realized.
A decline in the Companymarket value of GP.
8any available-for-sale
security below cost that is deemed other than temporary is
charged to earnings resulting in the establishment of a new cost
basis for the security.
Realized gains and losses for securities classified as
available-for-sale are included in earnings and are derived using
the specific identification method for determining the cost of
securities sold.
Marketable investment securities at December 31, 1993
consist of common stocks. Equity securities at that date are
stated at the lower of aggregate cost or market value.
The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding losses and fair
value for available-for-sale securities at September 30, 1994,
were as follows:

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company incurred a loss before income taxes and
extraordinary item of $2,291,000$2,276,000 and $4,685,000$6,961,000 for the quarter
and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994, as compared with a loss
of $1,908,000$1,160,000 and $4,847,000$6,007,000 for the corresponding periods of
1993. The increase in the Company's loss before income taxes and
extraordinary item is due to several factors. Included in
investment and other income, net for the quarter and sixnine months
ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994, is $1,115,000$351,000 and $2,012,000,$2,363,000,
respectively, of foreign currency transaction losses compared to
gainslosses of $711,000$1,442,000 and $1,381,000$61,000 for the corresponding periods of
1993. The reduced currency loss for the third quarter has been
offset by increased losses incurred by Interferon Sciences, Inc.
(ISI), the Company's approximately 36% owned affiliate. In
addition, as a result of an Exchange Offer in July 1993 for a
significant portion of its Swiss Denominated Debt, the Company
realized a gain of $3,795,000 from the issuance of a portion of
the Company's holdings of shares of common stock of ISI and GTS
Duratek, Inc. (Duratek) during the third quarter of 1993, due to
such shares being included as part of the consideration for the
Exchange Offer. For the quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember
30, 1994, the foreign currency transaction
losses wereeffect of the gain realized in 1993 was partially
offset by reduced interest expense at the corporate level, as a
result of reduced long-term debt, as well as increased operating
profits achieved by the Optical Plastics and Physical Science
Groups. At September 30, 1994, there was an aggregate of SFr.
16,672,000 of Swiss denominated indebtedness outstanding, of
which SFr. 14,630,000 represents principal amount outstanding and
Optical Plastics Group. Foreign currency valuation
fluctuations may adversely affect the results of operations and
financial condition of the Company.SFr. 2,042,000 represents interest accrued thereon. At JuneSeptember
30, 1994, the Company had not hedged its Swiss francFranc obligations.
If the value of the Swiss francFranc to the U.S. dollar increases, the
Company will recognize transaction losses on its Swiss francFranc
obligations. On JuneSeptember 30, 1994, the value of the Swiss francFranc
to the U.S. dollar was approximately 1.33351.2882 to 1. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to swap or hedge
obligations denominated in foreign currencies at prices
acceptable to the Company or at all. The Company will continue
to review this policy on a continuing basis.
In July 1994, as a result of the transactions
discussed in Note 2 to the Notes to the consolidated condensed
financial statements, the Company had approximately SFr.
16,500,000 of Swiss denominated debt outstanding, of which
approximately SFr. 15,000,000 represents principal amount
outstanding and approximately SFr. 1,500,000 represents interest
accrued thereon.

sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1993. The decreasedincreased sales duringfor
the 1994 periods were primarily the result of reduced sales in the Physical Science
Group, partially offset by increased sales
within the Optical Plastics, Group. In addition,Physical Science and the
Distribution Groups, partially offset by reduced sales within the
Electronics Group also had
reduced sales.Group. The reducedincreased sales within the Physical
Science Group were the result of the inclusion of General Physics
Corporation (GP) in the consolidated results of the Company as of
September 1, 1994 (see Note 3 to the Consolidated Condensed
Financial Statements), offset by the end of a long-term staff
augmentation contract at GTS Duratek, Inc. (Duratek),which in turn was partially
offset by increased Environmental Services revenues at Duratek,
as well as the sale by SGLG, Inc. (SGLG), formerly GPS
Technologies, Inc. (GPS), of its interest in General Physics
International Engineering and Simulation, Inc. (GPI) to a new
joint venture in which GPS has a minority position, in 1994. For
the quarter and nine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1993, GPI had
sales of $3,408,000.$2,425,000 and $5,833,000, respectively.
Gross margin
Consolidated gross margin of $9,499,000,$8,008,000, or 18%15%, for the
quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994 increased by $539,000$407,000 when
compared to the consolidated gross margin of $8,960,000,$7,601,000, or 16%,
for the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 1993. For the sixnine months
ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994, consolidated gross margin of
$17,746,000$25,754,000 or 18%17% of consolidated sales increased by $2,593,000$3,000,000
when compared to $15,153,000$22,754,000 or 15% of consolidated sales earned
in the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1993. The increased gross
margin for the quarter and six months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994,
was primarily the result of increased sales and gross margin
percentage achieved by the Optical Plastics Group, as well
increased gross margin achieved by the Physical Science Group due
to the higher gross margin generated by Duratek's Environmental
Services business, and a more profitable mix of services generated by
GPS.

quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1993. The decrease
in SG&A for the quarter and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 1994 was the result of
Interferon Sciences, Inc. (ISI)due to
ISI being accounted for on the equity methodbasis since the third
quarter of 1993 and reduced costs incurred at the corporate
level, partially offset by increased costs incurred by the
Distribution Group.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company believes that it has sufficient cash, cash
equivalents and borrowing availability under existing and
potential lines of credit to satisfy its cash requirements until
the first scheduled maturity of its Swiss Franc denominated
indebtedness on March 1, 1995. However, in order for the Company
to meet its long-term cash needs thereafter, which include the repayment (after giving effect to the July 1994 transactions described in
Note 2 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements) of
approximately $9,700,000$9,614,000 of Swiss Franc denominated indebtedness
scheduled to mature in 1995 and approximately $4,200,000$4,110,000 of Swiss
Franc denominated indebtedness which is scheduled to mature in
1996, the Company must obtain additional funds from among various
sources. The Company has historically reduced its long-term debt
through the issuance of equity securities in exchange for long-
term debt. In addition to its ability to issue equity
securities, the Company believes that it has sufficient
marketable long-term investments, as well as the ability to
obtain additional funds from its operating subsidiaries and the
potential to enter into new credit arrangements. The Company
reasonably believes that it will be able to continue to
accomplish some or all of the above transactions in order to fund
the scheduled repayment of the Company's long-term Swiss debt in
1995.
At JuneSeptember 30, 1994, the Company had cash and, cash
equivalents totaling $10,475,000. GPS$13,689,000. GP, SGLG, American Drug
Company and Duratek had cash and, cash equivalents of $116,000$560,000 at
JuneSeptember 30, 1994. The minority interests of these twofour
companies are owned by the general public, and therefore the
assets of these subsidiaries have been dedicated to the
operations of these companies and may not be readily available
for the general corporate purpose of the parent.
