month ended January 31, 2000.  

	Net income of $428,725, $0.07 per share, for the second quarter of 
fiscal 2000 was $189,891 higher than net income of $238,834, $0.04 per

$0.05 per share, for the first six months of fiscal 2000 was $364,273 higher 
than its net loss of $76,614 ($0.01 per share) for the first six months of 
fiscal 1999.

	Operating income of $281,683 for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 was

fiscal 1999.  CTT's operating income of $59,763 for the first six months of 
fiscal 2000 was $182,221 higher than its operating loss of $122,458 for the 
first six months of fiscal 1999.

	Revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 increased $152,795 
(15%) to $1,146,069 compared with $993,274 in the second quarter of fiscal 
1999.  Revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2000 increased $304,308 
(22%) to $1,716,896 compared with $1,412,588 for the first six months of 
fiscal 1999.  Retained royalties of $1,118,229 for the second quarter of 
fiscal 2000 were $152,775 (16%) higher than $965,454 in the second quarter 
of fiscal 1999.  Retained royalties of $1,562,959 for the first six months 
of fiscal 2000 were $281,250 (22%) higher than $1,281,709 in the first six 
months of fiscal 1999.  
  
        Total operating expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 2000 were 
$864,386; which was $102,560 (13%) higher than in the second quarter of 
fiscal 1999.  Total operating expenses for the first six months of fiscal 
2000 were $1,657,133; which was $122,087 (8%) higher than in the first six 
months of fiscal 1999.  Total operating expenses of $1,535,046 in the first 
six months of fiscal 1999 included $70,000 for restructuring charges.  CTT 
increased its technology commercialization and contract services activities 
compared to the previous year.  As a result, costs of technology management 
services for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2000 were 
$51,294 (11%) and 185,419 (21%) higher, respectively, than in the comparable 
periods of fiscal 1999.  General and administration expenses were $51,266 
(17%) higher than in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 but only $6,668 (1%) 
higher than in first six months of fiscal 1999 and reflect higher 
shareholder expenses, including costs related to the Company's annual 
meeting of stockholders.

        Frank R. McPike, Jr., President of CTT said, "We are pleased to report 
the seventh consecutive quarter that CTT has realized higher revenues than 
in the prior year's comparable quarter.  Retained royalties from the gallium 
arsenide semiconductor inventions, which include laser diode applications, 
were approximately $363,000 (166%) higher than in the second quarter of 
fiscal 1999.  This is particularly encouraging since more than $350,000 of 
this increase is based on higher sales of licensed products.  Royalty 
revenues this quarter increased despite approximately $378,000 of non-
recurring royalty revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 1999 and a 
homocysteine sublicensee's withholding royalties on certain tests since the 
summer of 1998, which we are currently litigating."

        Mr. McPike continued, "We have reported both operating income and net 
income in four of the last five quarters.  In addition, for the first six 
months of fiscal 2000 we have reported both operating income and net income.  
Our efforts in recent years are bearing fruit.  We continue to mine our 
existing technology portfolio and add new technologies to our pipeline.  We 
are also considering opportunities to accelerate growth by acquiring 
synergistic businesses and investing in developing companies."
