 BB:EYDY) Thursday announced that sales in the quarter ended June 30, 1999, were $173,248, an increase of 109 percent over the comparable quarter in the year-earlier period.

This performance brought sales for the first six months ended June 30, 1999, to $335,557, an increase of 64 percent over the similar period in 1998.

President Charles E. Phillips commented: "We are very pleased that Eye Dynamics' sales in the June 1999 quarter continued the strong growth pattern that carried over from 1998 into the first quarter of 1999, when sales rose 33 percent. In fact, sales became even stronger in the June 1999 quarter, by accelerating to a 109 percent increase.

Phillips continued: "Our sales strength in 1999 -- up 64 percent for the first half -- is in line with the company's sequential results since 1996, when sales rose 54 percent in 1997 and 56 percent in 1998. This robust demand over the past 10 quarters is due to several factors: -0-
1.   The video technology features of Eye Dynamics' House
     InfraRed/Video Electronystagmography (ENG) has boosted end-user
     acceptance and raised unit volume.

2.   Important marketing changes. These include, in 1997, the switch
     to our Special Instrument Dealer group, and, in 1998, both our
     improved commission structure and the appointment of a marketing
     manager, Mr. Charlie Anderson. His sales roots in the ENG medical
     equipment field go back several decades.

3.   The addition of a private label health-care customer in Arizona.

4.   In 1999, product upgrades. A second-generation vestibular testing
     goggle was introduced that is lighter, more compact and easier to
     use. And the Version 5.00 software includes over 20 new features
     and tests."


Phillips concluded: "We are gratified grat·i·fy
