PHARMANETICS, INC.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)



Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation



PharmaNetics, Inc. (the Company) is a holding company incorporated in July 1998 as the parent company of Cardiovascular Diagnostics, Inc.
(CVDI). CVDI was incorporated in November 1985 and formerly developed, manufactured and marketed rapid turnaround diagnostics to assess blood clot formation and dissolution. CVDI developed tests based on its proprietary dry chemistry
diagnostic test system, known as the Thrombolytic Assessment System (TAS), to provide rapid and accurate evaluation of hemostasis at the point of patient care.



In December 2003, the Company announced that, as a result primarily of the dispute and litigation with Aventis Pharmaceuticals and its
impact on the Companys business and prospects, it was seeking a variety of strategic alternatives, including the sale of its manufacturing operations. In March 2004, because a willing and able buyer for the Companys operations had not by
then been identified, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with its distribution partner, Bayer Diagnostics (Bayer). In addition, the Company terminated the sales and technical service personnel formerly engaged by the
Company through PDI, the contractor and provider of the Enox sales and technical support teams. Since filing the lawsuit, the Company has implemented and completed significant personnel reductions and has engaged Davenport & Company LLC
(Davenport), an investment banking firm, as its financial advisor. Davenport is currently assisting the Company in pursuing a sale of its manufacturing operations and intellectual property. The Company believes these steps were necessary
to conserve cash and position the Company for the proposed license or sale of its assets and intellectual property as well as to finance its lawsuit against Aventis. The Company is shifting its corporate strategy from a manufacturing/distribution
model to that of a biotech model, whereby revenues, if any, would be tied to royalty streams from any future product sales. The Company is actively seeking a buyer for its operating assets and to sell or license its intellectual property with a
significant portion of the potential valuation tied to royalties. In essence, if successful in implementing this new strategy, under such a potential arrangement the Company would be in a position to receive royalties on tests developed and would
not be responsible for manufacturing and distribution.



The consolidated
financial statements included herein as of any date other than December 31 have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Financial information as of December 31 has
been derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. For further information regarding the Companys
accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. Because the Company has ceased operations, the results for this
interim period, in particular, are not necessarily indicative of the results for future interim periods.



Note 2. Revenue Recognition



While in
operation, the Company recorded revenue from the sale of products when an arrangement existed, the product had been delivered or services had been rendered (transfer of risk occurs), the price was fixed and determinable and collectibility was
reasonably assured. For all products except the Enox test, the Company recorded revenue from product sold to Bayer, then our sole distribution partner and largest customer, when the above elements existed and specifically upon transfer of risk (at
delivery) to Bayer. Delivery occurred at the point of shipment and title legally passed at that time. Bayer assumed all risk of loss once title passed and took ownership of the finished inventory and held it for resale to hospitals. The Company does
not retain any additional performance obligation with respect to the product once the

##### Table of Contents

product has been manufactured and transferred to Bayer. The product, except in the case of defects, is not returnable and
there has not been a history of defective product returns. A standard pricing model has been in place and the Company does not offer price protection or rights of return. The Company recorded product revenue from the sale of the Enox test upon
shipment of the product to the hospital. The Company invoiced Bayer at the shipment date, netting a 10% commission paid to Bayer (for administration and collection services) against the product revenue to be recognized in accordance with EITF 01-09
Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of the Vendors Products). Bayer was responsible for invoicing and collecting from the hospital and paid the Company regardless of whether it
collected from the hospital.



The Company accounts for royalties on an accrual
basis. Tokuyama Soda pays the Company royalties based on Tokuyamas net sales of a licensed product. The Company recognizes income under license and development agreements over the anticipated period of the agreements with its collaborators, in
accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). SAB 104 clarifies conditions to be met to recognize up-front non-refundable payments. Such payments are recognized over the life of the related agreement unless the payment relates to
products delivered or services performed that represent the completion of the earnings process. Payments received but not recognized into income in the year of receipt are deferred and recognized over the period of the respective agreements. For
example, the Company received upfront payments for development of the Enoxaparin test card from Aventis. Pursuant to this arrangement, the Company received non-refundable milestone payments for executing the agreement, completing the development,
FDA approval, and the first commercial sale of the product. There is a period of four years after the first commercial sale of the test card in which the Company cannot develop a similar test card for another entity. The Company is recognizing the
milestone payments over a period of five years, based on the estimated life of the relationship.



Note 3. Cash Equivalents



The Company
considers all highly-liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.



Note 4. Inventory



Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):

As a result of ceasing operations, the
Company recorded a write-down in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to reduce its inventories from standard cost to its estimated net realizable value.

Note 5. Property and Equipment



Property and equipment costs are capitalized and are depreciated using the straigtht-line method over their estimated useful lives. In accordance with SFAS 144, the
Company ceased depreciation of the property and equipment as of April 1, 2004 based on the Company holding these assets for sale.



Note 6. Patents and Intellectual Property



Patents and intellectual property costs are capitalized and are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In accordance with SFAS 144,
the Company ceased amortization of the patents and intellectual property as of April 1, 2004 based on the Company holding these assets for sale.



Note 7. Loss Per Common Share



In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share (EPS), the Company is required to present both basic and diluted EPS on the face of
the Statement of Operations. Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is the same as basic EPS
for the Companys quarters and year-to-date periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, because, for loss periods, potential common shares (such as options) are not included in computing diluted EPS since the effect would be antidilutive. The number
of potential common shares (represented by shares issuable upon the exercise or conversion of outstanding options, warrants and convertible preferred stock) as of June 30, 2004 and 2003 totaled 3,769,908 and 4,702,198, respectively.



Note 8. Preferred Stock



Series A Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock



During 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 120,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (Series A), resulting in net proceeds to the
Company of $11,220,000. The Company also issued five-year warrants to acquire 240,000 shares of common stock at $10.00 per share. Approximately $1,275,000 of the net proceeds was allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value as
computed by using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Series A has an annual dividend of 6% payable quarterly in cash or in shares of common stock at the option of the Company. The number of common stock dividend shares to be issued at each
quarterly dividend date are determined using the average of the closing prices (or average of the closing bid or sales prices, whichever is applicable, in the case shares are traded over the counter) of the common stock on the Companys
principal trading market over the 30-day period ending three days prior to the end of each quarter. The number of shares to be issued is then multiplied by the closing market value of PharmaNetics common stock on the payment date to determine the
amount recorded as the dividend in the financial statements. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Series A dividend was paid by issuing 152,777 shares of common stock and was recorded at the fair value of the common stock on the dividend payment
date of June 30.



Each share of the Series A is convertible into ten shares of
common stock. The number of common shares reserved for conversion of Series A preferred stock and exercise of warrants held by Series A investors, including the related dividends, is approximately 1,281,000. The Series A is convertible at the option
of the holder at any time or may be redeemed at the option of the Company at any time.



The holders of the Series A have a liquidation preference of $100 per preferred share (totaling $6,450,000) plus any accrued but unpaid dividends then held, such amounts subject to certain adjustments. The liquidation preference is payable,
in preference to the common stock, upon a change in control of the Company, thus the Series A is carried in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet. The holders also have the right to vote together with the common stock on an as-if-converted
basis.



Series B Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock



During May 2003, the Company completed a private placement of 95,800 shares of Series B
convertible redeemable preferred stock (Series B), resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately



8

##### Table of Contents

$8,700,000. The Company also issued five-year warrants to acquire 542,865 shares of common stock at $7.20 per share.
Approximately $1,671,000 of the net proceeds was allocated to the warrants based on their relative fair value as computed using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The Series B has an annual dividend of 8.5% payable quarterly for the first nine
quarters in additional shares of Series B preferred stock and thereafter quarterly in cash or in shares of common stock at the option of the Company. The number of preferred stock dividend shares to be paid for each full quarterly period will equal
2.125% of the Series B shares outstanding on each dividend date. Any shares of common stock issued in payment of dividends after September 2005 will be valued at 90% of the volume weighted average of the closing prices of the common stock over the
30 days prior to any given quarterly dividend date, as reported on the principal trading market on which the Companys common stock is traded. For the quarter ended June 30, 2004, the Series B dividend was paid by issuing 2,200 shares of Series
B preferred stock. These shares are convertible into approximately 36,660 shares of common stock, which number is multiplied by the closing market price of PharmaNetics stock on the dividend payment date of June 30, 2004 to determine the amount
recorded for accounting purposes as the Series B dividend.



Each share of the
Series B is convertible into approximately 16.667 shares of common stock. The Series B is convertible at the option of the holder at any time. It may also be redeemed at the option of the Company after May 1, 2005 upon the occurrence of both of the
following events: (a) the common stock closes at or above $20.00 per share (adjusted for stock dividends, stock combinations, recapitalizations or the like), and (b) the common stock maintains an average daily trading volume of at least 75,000
shares per day for 30 consecutive trading days on the Companys principal trading market or automated quotation system. However, no redemption can occur if any shares of the Series A preferred would be issued and outstanding after completion of
the Series B redemption.



The holders of the Series B have the right to require
the Company to redeem all or any outstanding Series B preferred upon a change of control event, as defined. Pari passu with the Series A holders, Series B holders have a liquidation preference equal to the greater of (i) an amount per share that
holders would have received if all shares of the Series B preferred had been converted into common stock immediately prior to a liquidation event or (ii) $100 per preferred share (totaling $10,571,011) plus any accrued but unpaid dividends then
held, such amounts subject to customary adjustments. The liquidation preference is payable upon a liquidating event, including a change in control of the Company, thus the Series B is carried in the mezzanine section of the balance sheet. The
holders also have the right to vote together with the common stock with each share of Series B entitled to approximately 14.04 votes.



On the date of issuance of the Series B, the effective conversion price of the Series B was at a discount to the price of the common stock into which the Series B is
convertible. In accordance with EITF 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios and EITF 00-27 Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible
Instruments, this discount totaled $3,459,000 and was recorded as a preferred stock dividend in the second quarter of 2003. The proceeds of the offering were allocated between preferred stock and warrants issued and the $3.5 million discount
was determined by subtracting the effective conversion price of the common stock of $4.95 from the common stock market value of $7.12 the day before the closing and multiplying the difference by the number of common shares issuable upon conversion
of the preferred stock.



Note 9. Related Party Transactions



In April 2001, Bayer Diagnostics purchased 1,450,000 shares of common stock of the Company
at $12 per share for $17.4 million. This investment increased Bayers ownership percentage in the Company from approximately 7% to 19.9%. The Company and Bayer formerly maintained a distribution agreement to market and distribute the
Companys routine tests worldwide and the Companys enoxaparin test in countries other than the United States. This distribution agreement was terminated in March 2004 and Bayer no longer serves as the Companys distributor.



Note 10. Accrued Expenses



At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Company had accrued $0 and $130,000
respectively, related to severance payments to employees terminated as a result of the Company ceasing operations. This amount is included within accrued expenses.

Note 11. Debt



During the quarter ended March 31, 2004, the Company paid the remaining balance of its outstanding equipment loan from General Electric (GE). Total debt and capital lease
paydown, including repaying the remainder of the GE debt, totaled $1.1 million during the first quarter.



Note 12. Development Income and Deferred Revenue



The Company recognizes development income in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104. Under SAB 104, payments received under
collaboration agreements are deferred and recognized as income over the period of the respective agreements. Historically, the Company has received payments as part of collaboration agreements with other entities. Revenue recognized related to
collaboration agreements for the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $261,000. At June 30, 2004, total payments received but deferred to future periods was $2,518,000. These amounts will be amortized through 2006.



Note 13. Significant Customers and Related Party



During the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company had sales to Bayer totaling $0
and $1,626,000 respectively, representing 0% and 99% of total product revenues for the respective periods. At June 30, 2004 and December 31, 2003, outstanding receivables from that customer totaled 53% and 90%, respectively, of total receivables.



Note 14. Stock Based Compensation



In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB or the Board)
issued FASB Statement No. 148 (FAS 148), Accounting for Stock-Based CompensationTransition and Disclosure, which amends FASB Statement No. 123 (FAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. FAS 148
requires new disclosures including an accounting policy footnote that includes: the method of accounting for stock options; total stock compensation cost that is recognized in the income statement and would have been recognized had FAS 123 been
adopted for recognition purposes as of its effective date; and pro forma net income and earnings per share (where applicable) that would have been reported had FAS 123 been adopted for recognition purposes as of its effective date. These disclosures
are required to be made in annual financial statements and in quarterly information provided to shareholders without regard to whether the entity has adopted FAS 123 for recognition purposes.



For purposes of the proforma disclosures required for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, 20,000
stock option grants were made in the second quarter of 2004, consisting of the annual grant of options to non-employee Board members. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, the following table summarizes the net loss and
stock-based compensation expense, as reported, compared to pro forma amounts had the fair value method been applied:

Note 15. Legal Proceedings



In November 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court of the Eastern District of North Carolina against Aventis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the
wholly-owned subsidiary of French pharmaceutical company, Aventis. The lawsuit alleges that Aventis has engaged in false and misleading advertising of its second largest drug, Lovenox®, which has damaged the Companys sales of its Enox test card, a rapid
point-of-care test developed in cooperation with Aventis to enhance the way Lovenox is managed in the cardiac community. In addition to claims of false advertising, the Companys complaint includes allegations of tortious interference, fraud
and breach of contract. As part of the lawsuit, the Company requested that the court enter a preliminary injunction against Aventis to prevent Aventis from falsely advertising Lovenox.



In March 2004, the court held a hearing on the Companys motion for a preliminary injunction against Aventis. In April 2004, the court
issued an order denying the Companys request for a preliminary injunction, but in denying the Companys motion, the court made a judicial determination that two of Aventis advertising claims regarding Lovenox were literally
false. First, the court found that Aventis claim that Lovenox reaches therapeutic levels with 1/2 hour of administration to be literally false. Second, the court found literally false Aventis claim that Lovenox was
therapeutic from dose one. Although the court did not grant the Companys request for a preliminary injunction, one of the reasons cited by the court for not enjoining these false advertising messages was that Aventis has
discontinued using these false statements in its advertising. In particular, after the Company filed its false advertising lawsuit against Aventis in November 2003, almost immediately thereafter Aventis withdrew these statements from its advertising
of Lovenox.



In addition, the court found that certain disparaging statements
made by Aventis representatives concerning the ENOX® test card were also literally false. Although the court elected not to issue a preliminary injunction, its order ultimately leaves the issues in dispute for the jury to decide. The court also ruled on Aventis
Motion for Summary Judgment in which Aventis essentially sought dismissal of the Companys false advertising claims. In denying Aventis motion, the court noted that the Company had raised genuine issues of material fact concerning its
claims against Aventis and, accordingly, the court ruled that the merits of the case should ultimately be evaluated by a jury. In order to prevail in a jury trial, the Company must prove a variety of factual issues as well as substantiate its
calculation of damages.



Note 16. Recent Accounting Pronouncements



In April 2004, the Emerging Issuance Task Force issued a census on EITF 03-6,
Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128. The EITF significantly expanded the notion of participation rights from previous practice. Issue 03-6 does not focus on a security holders contractual
rights to ultimately receive the undistributed earnings and net assets of the company upon redemption or liquidation. Instead, it defines participation rights based solely on whether the holder would be entitled to receive any dividends if the
entity declared them during the period, even if those earnings would not actually be distributed from an economic or practical perspective and even if the company has legal or contractual limitations on its ability to pay dividends (e.g., debt
covenants or state law considerations on the payment of dividends). All securities that meet the definition of a participating security, regardless of whether the securities are convertible, non-convertible, or potential common stock securities,
should be considered for inclusion in the computation of basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The Company currently does not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on its financial statements.



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



This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements. Our actual results
might differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements due to any number of factors, including those set forth below under Factors



11



---

##### Table of Contents

That May Affect Future Results. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to
materially differ from those in the forward-looking statements is contained in our other SEC filings, copies of which are available upon request to us.



The following discussion should be read in connection with the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
report. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references to the Company include our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardiovascular Diagnostics, Inc., or CVDI.



Business



Prior to ceasing substantially all of its operations in March 2004, PharmaNetics, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary Cardiovascular Diagnostics,
Inc. (CVDI), had developed, manufactured and marketed rapid turnaround diagnostics to assess blood clot formation and dissolution. The Companys products are a proprietary analyzer and dry chemistry tests, known as the Thrombolytic
Assessment System or TAS that provide, at the point of patient care, rapid and accurate information that can affect therapy. PharmaNetics had also worked to establish itself in the emerging field of theranostics, or rapid near-patient testing, in
which the diagnostic results may influence treatment decisions. The Companys tests can be used in the treatment of angina, heart attack, stroke, deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary and arterial emboli. The TAS technology can be used at the
point of patient care which the Company believes provides many potential benefits, including faster results for better treatment of patients, reduced usage of blood products for bleeding complications, quicker patient transfers from costly critical
care settings and reduced hospital costs due to less paperwork and personnel time in processing blood samples.



Overview



The Company
has derived income from the following sources: TAS product sales, interest income, and development income recognized in connection with collaboration agreements. Product sales have mainly consisted of the Companys routine test cards, the PT,
aPTT, HMT, HTT, PRT and LHMT tests along with the related controls and analyzers. These products were distributed under a global distribution agreement with Bayer Diagnostics. In August 1998, the Company signed a five-year global distribution
agreement, subject to minimum annual sales, with Chiron Diagnostics, now Bayer Diagnostics, to distribute the products. At that time and under a separate purchase agreement, the Company received an up-front investment of $6 million from Bayer in
exchange for 600,000 shares of common stock, all of which were recorded as an increase to stockholders equity. Under that agreement, Bayer agreed to purchase minimum quantities of the Companys products covered by the agreement at
pre-determined prices. The prices charged to Bayer were variable depending on purchase volumes. Subsequently, in April 2001, Bayer purchased 1,450,000 shares of common stock at a negotiated price of $12 per share, representing a negotiated premium
to market price at that time, for $17.4 million, all of which was recorded as an increase to stockholders equity. At that time, this investment increased Bayers ownership percentage in the Company from approximately 7% to 19.9%. In
connection with the 2001 investment, the Company entered into an amended distribution agreement with Bayer to replace the previous distribution agreement. Under the terms of the amended agreement, Bayer agreed to purchase, at the same pre-determined
prices as in the original distribution agreement, the same products as covered by the original agreement. For these products distributed by Bayer, Bayer would send monthly purchase orders and the Company would transfer ownership of the product to
and receive payment from Bayer. As requested by Bayer, and in accordance with Bayers pre-determined delivery schedule, upon receipt of the committed purchase order, the Company would produce and transfer the product into Bayers
segregated warehouse facility at the Company. The Company did not retain any specific performance obligation with respect to product once it was completed and transferred to the segregated warehouse space. The Company sold this product to Bayer at
the pre-determined prices set forth in the amended distribution agreement and Bayer took ownership of and assumed all risk for the inventory upon transfer and then held it for resale. Bayer does not have any right to return unsold product and has no
history of requesting return. Assuming full conversion of outstanding preferred stock into common stock, Bayer now owns approximately 17% of the Companys outstanding shares and maintains the right to designate one nominee for election to our
board of directors. Currently, no representative from Bayer is a member of our board of directors, although it retains the right to name a designee in the future.

Upon entering the amended distribution agreement with Bayer, the Company expanded its relationship with
Bayer to cover collaborative distribution and supply of certain theranostic tests in the United States, principally the Enox test. The Company commercially launched this test in January 2003 to detect the anticoagulant effects of enoxaparin sodium,
a leading low molecular weight heparin marketed by Aventis. Under the provisions of the amended distribution agreement, Bayer was exclusively responsible for receiving the Enox sales order from the hospital, informing the Company of the order,
sending an invoice to the hospital and collecting that resulting receivable, thus assuming the credit and collection risk. For these services, Bayer received a commission of 10% of the price of each card. The Enox test inventories were maintained on
the Companys books until shipment and the Company would invoice Bayer for the shipment of Enox tests and record revenue upon shipment of the product to the hospital that placed the order with Bayer, which is when all elements of the
Companys revenue recognition policy have been met. The Company offered no price concession to Bayer, received payment therefore directly from Bayer within 30 to 70 days of the invoice date and Bayers 10% commission was netted and
recorded against the revenue in the financial statements.



The
Company hired contract sales and technical service personnel to work with Aventis sales force in promoting the Enox test. However, in November 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit in the eastern district of North Carolina against Aventis. The
Company, in cooperation with Aventis, had developed a rapid bedside test, known as the Enox test, which the Company believes enhances the way Lovenox®, a popular anti-blood clotting drug marketed by Aventis, currently is managed. The Company believes the test has the potential to facilitate
the drugs use in patients in the cardiac community who stand to benefit from its use. Aventis collaborated with the Company in a multi-million dollar project in which it made milestone payments to the Company to develop and co-promote the test
together with Lovenox for targeted patient populations. See Note 15 Legal Proceedings in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for more information on the Aventis litigation. The Company intends to
aggressively pursue the lawsuit to enforce its rights, and the Company expects the lawsuit could take a year or more to complete and consume significant time and expense.



In December 2003, the Company announced that, primarily as a result of the Aventis litigation and its impact on the
Companys business and prospects, it is pursuing a variety of strategic alternatives, including the sale of its manufacturing operations. In March 2004, because a willing and able buyer for the Companys operations had not by then been
identified, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with its distribution partner, Bayer Diagnostics (Bayer). In addition, the Company terminated the sales and technical service personnel formerly engaged by the Company through
PDI, the contractor and provider of the Enox sales and technical support teams. Since filing the lawsuit, the Company has implemented and completed significant personnel reductions and has engaged Davenport & Company LLC (Davenport),
an investment banking firm, as its financial advisor. Davenport is currently assisting the Company in pursuing a sale of its manufacturing operations and intellectual property. The Company believes these steps were necessary to conserve cash and
position the Company for the proposed license or sale of its assets and intellectual property as well as to finance its lawsuit against Aventis. The Company is shifting its corporate strategy from a manufacturing/distribution model to that of a
biotech model, whereby revenues, if any, would be tied to royalty streams from any future product sales. The Company is actively seeking a buyer for its operating assets and to sell or license its intellectual property with a significant portion of
the potential valuation tied to royalties. In essence, if successful in implementing this new strategy, under such a potential arrangement, the Company would be in a position to receive royalties on tests developed and would not be responsible for
manufacturing and distribution.



By the end of June 2004, the
Company has ceased developing, producing and selling all of its products and has terminated substantially all of its employees except its chief executive officer, who is being retained to manage the litigation against Aventis until it is completed
or settled and to continue to seek a buyer of the Companys operations, manufacturing assets and intellectual property. We have engaged a firm, on an outsourced basis, to handle certain of our remaining administrative and accounting functions.

Critical Accounting Policies



The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, which
require the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company evaluates the estimates, judgments and the
policies underlying these estimates on a periodic basis as the situation changes, and regularly discusses financial events, policies, and issues with the Companys independent auditors and members of the audit committee. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.



The Company believes that the
following are some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of accounting policies that affect the Companys financial condition and results of operations.



Revenue Recognition



Revenue from the sale of products is recorded when an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sellers price is
fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Substantially all of the Companys product sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2003 were made to the Companys distributor, Bayer. The Companys distribution agreement
with Bayer was terminated in March 2004, thereby resulting in substantially no revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Income under license and development agreements is recognized over the anticipated period of the agreements with the
collaborators, in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (SAB 104). SAB 104 clarifies conditions to be met to recognize up-front non-refundable payments. Such payments are recognized over the life of the related agreement unless the
payment relates to products delivered or services performed that represent the completion of the earnings process. Payments received but not recognized into income in the year of receipt are deferred and recognized over the period of the respective
agreements. The Company has recognized revenue related to the development agreement with Aventis. The Company is recognizing revenue related to the Aventis development contract, which was entered into in 2000. Previous milestone payments from
Aventis, which are non-refundable, remain deferred because even though the Companys development agreement with Aventis has been terminated, the Company remains under obligation not to develop another test card that would compete with Aventis
through November 2006. The Company is recognizing development income from Aventis on a straight-line basis through November 2006.



Stock-Based Compensation



The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation (SFAS No.
123). As permitted by SFAS No. 123, the Company has chosen to continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock plans.
Accordingly, in each period, the Company has used the intrinsic-value method to record stock based employee compensation. No compensation expense has been recognized for stock options granted to employees with an exercise price equal to or above the
trading price per share of the Companys common stock on the grant date.



Inventories



Inventories are stated at the
lower of standard cost (which approximates cost on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. The Company assesses its inventory on a periodic basis and recognizes reserves when necessary. As a result of the Companys cessation of operations and
the termination of its distribution agreement with Bayer in March 2004, the Company determined that excess inventories existed at March 31, 2004 that will not be consumed or sold in the ordinary course of business. The Company recorded a write-down
of its inventories of $378,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 to reduce them to their net realizable value of zero. There were no inventory write downs in the quarter ended June 30, 2004, because the net realizable value of the inventory has
already been reduced to zero.

Results of Operations



The Company had virtually no operating revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2004 and does not expect to have any significant operating revenue
following the cessation of operations in March 2004. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, operating expenses were significantly reduced, primarily because such expenses were focused almost exclusively on the Aventis litigation, potential
sale of assets and maintaining the Companys financial reporting obligations. The Company expects operating expenses will continue to be focused almost exclusively on these items for the foreseeable future.



Assets Held for Sale



The Company holds its property and equipment and patents and intellectual property as held for sale as of April, 2004. In
accordance with SFAS 144, the Company records its assets at the lower of its carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and does not depreciate or amortize the assets while it is classified as held for sale.



Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 vs. June 30, 2003



Net product sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 were $4,000 compared
to $1,634,000 in the same period in 2003. Sales to Bayer represented none of the Companys product sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and 99% of the Companys product sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2003. The decrease in sales is
attributable to the Companys termination of its distribution agreement with its sole distribution partner, Bayer, in March 2004 and the Companys cessation of operations in connection therewith.



Development income was $261,000 in the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
All of the development income recognized in these quarters relates to collaboration payments previously received from Aventis Pharmaceuticals in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The Company is recognizing these payments into income over the period of the
agreement in accordance with SAB 104.



Cost of goods sold for
the quarter ended June 30, 2004 was $2,000 compared to $969,000 in the comparable period in 2003. The decrease is attributable to the Companys cessation of operations in March 2004, including in particular the decrease in personnel costs as a
result of workforce reductions effected in connection therewith.



General and administrative expenses were $1,033,000 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $944,000 for the comparable period in 2003. These expenses were higher due to increased legal expenses, principally related to the Companys
litigation with Aventis, partially offset by decreased compensation and severance expense related workforce reductions that were completed and recognized in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, depreciation expense decreased to $0 in the second
quarter of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003 because fixed assets and patents are being held for sale during the 2004 period. Sales and marketing expenses were $0 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $911,000 in the same period in 2003.
The decrease is attributable the Companys cessation of operations in March 2004 and the resulting termination of the Companys contract sales and technical service force related to the enoxaparin test as well as severing the
Companys own sales, marketing and distribution personnel. Research and development expenses decreased to $0 in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $1,230,000 in the same period in 2003 due to ceasing research and development during the
first quarter of 2004 on all projects, which resulted in the elimination of the related personnel and project costs.



Net interest and other income (expense) for the quarter ended June 30, 2004, which is composed of interest income, interest expense and other income, was
a net income of $21,000 compared to a net income of $13,000 in the first quarter of 2003. The increase was mainly due to a reduction in interest expense resulting from the Companys repayment of its outstanding balance under its GE credit
facility in March 2004. The Company also recognized $29,000 of license and royalty income from Tokuyama Soda Company Ltd. during the second quarter of 2004.



During the quarters ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid a dividend to Series A preferred shareholders by issuing 152,777 and 19,322 shares of
common stock respectively, representing a



15

##### Table of Contents

total dividend payment for accounting purposes valued at $73,000 and $112,000, respectively. The number of common stock
dividend shares required to be issued is determined using the average of the closing prices of the common stock as reported on the principal trading exchange over the 30-day period ending three days prior to the end of each quarter. The number of
shares to be issued is then multiplied by the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the dividend payment date to determine the amount recorded as the dividend for that period. In addition, for the quarters ended June 30, 2004
and 2003, the Company paid a dividend to Series B preferred shareholders by issuing 2,200 and 1,380 shares of Series B preferred stock, respectively. These shares are convertible into approximately 36,660 and 22,997 shares, respectively, of common
stock, which numbers are multiplied by the closing market price of the Companys stock on the dividend payment date to determine the amount recorded as the Series B dividend of $18,000 and $133,000, respectively.



Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 vs. June 30, 2003



Net product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2004 were $1,868,000
compared to $2,796,000 for the same period in 2003. Sales to Bayer represented approximately 99% of the Companys product sales in both periods. The decrease in sales is primarily attributable to the Companys termination of its
distribution agreement with its sole distribution partner, Bayer, in March 2004 and the Companys cessation of operations in connection therewith.



Development income was approximately $521,000 in the each of the periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. All of the development income recognized in these
periods relates to collaboration payments previously received from Aventis Pharmaceuticals in 2000, 2001 and 2002. The Company is recognizing these payments into income over the period of the agreement in accordance with SAB 104.



Cost of goods sold for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $1,109,000
compared to $1,652,000 in the comparable period in 2003. The decrease is primarily attributable to the Companys cessation of operations in March 2004, including in particular the reduction in personnel costs as a result of workforce reductions
effected in connection therewith



General and administrative
expenses were $3,423,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2,006,000 for the comparable period in 2003. These expenses were higher primarily due to increased legal expenses, principally related to the Companys litigation with
Aventis, and increased expenses related to severing employees during the first quarter of 2004, partially offset by decreased compensation and severance expense related workforce reductions which were completed and recognized in the first quarter of
2004. Sales and marketing expenses were $396,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $1,638,000 in the same period in 2003. The decrease is attributable the Companys cessation of operations in March 2004 and the resulting
termination of the Companys contract sales and technical service force related to the enoxaparin test as well as severing the Companys own sales, marketing and distribution personnel. Research and development expenses decreased to
$374,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2004 compared to $2,493,000 in the same period in 2003 due to ceasing research and development during the first quarter of 2004 on all projects, which resulted in the elimination of the related personnel
and project costs.



Net interest and other income (expense) for
the six months ended June 30, 2004 was a net income of $107,000 compared to an expense of $18,000 for the comparable period in 2003. The increase was mainly due to a reduction in interest expense resulting from the Companys payoff of its
outstanding balance under its GE credit facility in March 2004.



During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, the Company paid a dividend to Series A preferred shareholders by issuing 194,467 and 32,235 shares of common stock, respectively, representing a total dividend payment for
accounting purposes valued at $173,000 and $235,000, respectively. The number of common stock dividend shares required to be issued is determined using the average of the closing prices of the common stock as reported on the principal trading
exchange over the 30-day period ending three days prior to the end of each quarter. The number of shares to be issued is then multiplied by the closing market price of the Companys common stock on the dividend payment date to determine the
amount recorded as the dividend for that period. In addition, for the six-month periods ended June 30,



16

##### Table of Contents

2004 and 2003, the Company paid a dividend to Series B preferred shareholders by issuing 4,354 and 1,380 shares of Series
B preferred stock, respectively. These shares are convertible into approximately 72,497 and 22,997 shares, respectively, of common stock, which numbers are multiplied by the closing market price of the Companys stock on the dividend payment
date to determine the amount recorded as the Series B dividend of $103,000 and $133,000, respectively.



Liquidity and Capital Resources



At June 30, 2004, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments of $4.8 million and working capital of $3.4 million, as compared to $8.7 million and $7.1 million, respectively, at December 31, 2003. During the six months ended June
30, 2004, the Company used cash in operating activities of $2.8 million. The use of cash was primarily due to funding our net operating loss of $3.2 million, offset by non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization expense and the writedown of
inventories. However, the net operating loss includes the amortization of deferred revenues of $772,000 in 2004 which do not provide cash in the current period.



During the first six months of 2004, the Company made $16,000 in expenditures related to maintaining the usefulness of its fixed assets and patents.
The Company does not expect any significant ongoing capital expenditures.



Cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2004 was due to payments on the Companys debt and capital leases. The Company paid the remaining balance of its outstanding equipment loan from
General Electric (GE) in the first quarter. The debt and capital lease paydown, including repaying the remainder of the GE debt during the period, totaled $1.1 million.



The Company sustained continuing operating losses in 2004 and 2003 and had an accumulated deficit of $82.3 million as of
June 30, 2004. In December 2003, the Company announced that, due to continued legal action against Aventis and the impact of that litigation on the Companys operations and prospects, it is seeking strategic alternatives, including the sale of
its manufacturing operations. Because no willing and able buyer had yet to emerge as of March 2004, the Company terminated its distribution agreement with Bayer and ceased producing and selling all products at that time. The Company is continuing
its search for a buyer and intends to continue seeking a buyer during 2004. The Company intends to pursue the lawsuit with Aventis with its existing funds, which total approximately $4.8 million as of June 30, 2004. The Company plans to eliminate
capital and operating leases for office equipment by expending approximately $200,000. In addition, the Company terminated substantially all of its employees during the first quarter of 2004, resulting in severance costs of approximately $638,000 in
the first quarter and virtually no severance costs during the second quarter. The Company will continue to lease its building in 2004, resulting in anticipated expense in the last six months of 2004 of approximately $198,000. The Company believes it
has sufficient resources to fund its limited on-going operating costs and the litigation with Aventis through the anticipated trial date, which is expected to occur between the first and third quarters of 2005. However, there can be no assurance
that such resources will be sufficient. Pending the outcome of the litigation, presently the Company does not expect to need nor does it intend to seek additional sources of financing.



Barring the receipt of proceeds from a successful completion of the Aventis litigation or revenues and profits from future
operations, the holders of the Companys common stock would not be in a position to receive proceeds from any liquidation or sale of the Company unless and until the aggregate liquidation preference of approximately $16 million held by the
Companys preferred stockholders had first been satisfied.



Recent
Accounting Pronouncements



In April 2004, the Emerging
Issuance Task Force issued a census on EITF 03-6, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128. The EITF significantly expanded the notion of participation rights from previous practice. Issue 03-6 does
not focus on a security holders contractual rights to ultimately receive the undistributed earnings and net assets of the company upon redemption or

liquidation. Instead, it defines participation rights based solely on whether the holder would be entitled to receive any
dividends if the entity declared them during the period, even if those earnings would not actually be distributed from an economic or practical perspective and even if the company has legal or contractual limitations on its ability to
pay dividends (e.g., debt covenants or state law considerations on the payment of dividends). All securities that meet the definition of a participating security, regardless of whether the securities are convertible, non-convertible, or potential
common stock securities, should be considered for inclusion in the computation of basic earnings per share using the two-class method. The Company currently does not anticipate this standard to have a significant impact on its financial statements.



Factors that Might Affect Future Results



A number of uncertainties exist that might affect the Companys future
operating results and stock price. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in its lawsuit against Aventis or that it will find a buyer for any of its assets. See Legal Proceedings below for a discussion of the status of the
lawsuit with Aventis. The market price of the common stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to developments in the litigation as well as other factors which may be unrelated to the Companys performance. The stock market
in recent years has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of and announcements concerning public companies. Such broad fluctuations may adversely affect the
market price of the Companys common stock. Securities of issuers having relatively limited capitalization are particularly susceptible to volatility based on short-term trading strategies of some investors.



Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



Not applicable



Item 4. Controls and Procedures



(a) Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e)) are designed only to provide assurance that they will meet their objectives. As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation,
under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys disclosure
controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer has concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures are effective
to provide the reasonable assurance discussed above.



(b) No
change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting occurred during the Companys last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over
financial reporting.



Part II. Other Information



Item 1. Legal Proceedings



In
November 2003, the Company filed a lawsuit in the eastern district of North Carolina against Aventis. The Company, in cooperation with Aventis, has developed the Enox test, which the Company believes enhances the way Lovenox®, a popular anti-blood clotting drug marketed by
Aventis, currently is managed. The Company believes the test has the potential to facilitate the drugs use in patients in the cardiac community who stand to benefit from its use. Aventis collaborated with the Company in a multi-million dollar
project in which it made milestone payments to the Company to develop and co-promote the test together with Lovenox for targeted patient populations. The lawsuit alleges that Aventis has engaged in false and misleading advertising of Lovenox, which
damaged the Companys efforts to market and sell the Enox test card. The lawsuit also alleges that Aventis has failed to fulfill its obligation to promote the test and is systematically and falsely advising physicians that the test is not
necessary through its claims that Lovenox requires no monitoring and is therapeutic from dose one. In addition to claims of false advertising, the Companys complaint includes allegations of tortious interference, fraud
and breach of contract. As part of the lawsuit, the Company requested that the court enter a preliminary injunction against Aventis to prevent Aventis from falsely advertising Lovenox.

##### Table of Contents

In March 2004, the court held a hearing on the Companys motion for a preliminary injunction against
Aventis. On April 29, 2004, the court issued an order denying the Companys request for a preliminary injunction, but in denying the Companys motion, the court made a judicial determination that two of Aventis advertising claims
regarding Lovenox were literally false. First, the court found that Aventis claim that Lovenox reaches therapeutic levels with 1⁄2 hour of administration to be literally false. Second, the court found literally false
Aventis claim that Lovenox was therapeutic from dose one. Although the court did not grant the Companys request for a preliminary injunction, one of the reasons cited by the court for not enjoining these false advertising
messages was that Aventis has discontinued using these false statements in its advertising. In particular, after the Company filed its false advertising lawsuit against Aventis in November 2003, almost immediately thereafter Aventis withdrew these
statements from its advertising of Lovenox. In addition, the court found that certain disparaging statements made by Aventis representatives concerning the ENOX®test card were also literally false. Although the court elected not to issue a preliminary injunction, the courts order
ultimately leaves the issues in dispute for the jury to decide. The court also ruled on Aventis Motion for Summary Judgment in which Aventis essentially sought dismissal of the Companys false advertising claims. In denying Aventis
motion, the court noted that the Company had raised genuine issues of material fact concerning its claims against Aventis and, accordingly, the court ruled that the merits of this case should ultimately be evaluated by a jury. In order to prevail in
a jury trial, the Company must prove a variety of factual issues as well as substantiate its calculation of damages. The Company intends to aggressively pursue the lawsuit to enforce its rights, and the Company expects the lawsuit could take a year
or more to complete and consume significant time and expense.
