Generally about us

         We are a holding company conducting business through two wholly-owned
operating subsidiaries, Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. (CMT) and Sentigen
Corp. CMT is comprised of a service organization that provides contract research
and development (R&D) services, and a products organization that provides cell
culture media, reagents and other research products to companies engaged in the
drug discovery process. Sentigen Corp. is involved in scientific research to
develop environmentally sound approaches to prevent insect crop damage and the
spread of human diseases by impacting insect behavior.

         We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in May
1990 and, after having engaged in the acquisition and operation of different
business entities subsequent to our initial public offering in August 1990, we
commenced our current business operations when we acquired CMT by a reverse
merger in May 1998. CMT was incorporated on May 6, 1997 to acquire all of the
outstanding stock in each of Specialty Media, Inc. and Molecular Cell Science,
Inc., two entities operating in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries
since 1987 and 1991, respectively. Sentigen Corp. was formed on February 16,
2000. We changed our name to Sentigen Holding Corp. on June 23, 2000.

         We maintain principal executive offices, laboratory, manufacturing and
office/warehouse facilities in two facilities located at 580 and 445 Marshall
Street, Phillipsburg, New Jersey 08865. We also maintain a laboratory at 3960
Broadway, New York, New York 10032 and at 418 Industrial Drive, North Wales,
Pennsylvania 19454. We also maintain administrative offices at 434 East Cooper
Street, Aspen, Colorado 81611.


Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc.

         CMT is a Contract Research Organization (CRO) specializing in
supporting the drug discovery process. CMT's products and services line include:
High Throughput Screening (HTS) applications; contract research services; and
the development, production and marketing of specialty cell culture media.
Through its scientific staff, technology focus and specialty medium, CMT
increases the efficiency of the drug discovery process of pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, and biomedical research organizations and optimizes their
investment in new technologies and chemistry.

         The majority of CMT's customers are engaged in target identification,
target validation, and target screening as steps in the drug discovery process.
The proliferation of new targets and technologies to this process has shifted
the resource priorities and research strategies of the entire drug discovery
industry. This industry is also facing patent expirations, more stringent drug
approval standards, and thinning product pipelines. As a result of these

                                       2
<page>

factors, the race for new targets, compounds and drug candidates has
dramatically intensified. This new landscape has increased the demand for
research talent, laboratory capacity, creative experimental design and tailored
products. Collaboration with CMT gives entities engaged in drug discovery access
to the talent, capacity, creativity, products and services they need to
accelerate drug discovery programs, optimize technology investments and gain
competitive advantage. CMT operates through two divisions -- Molecular Cell
Science and Specialty Media.

         Molecular Cell Science Division (MCS)

         CMT provides contract R&D services to the drug discovery community
through this division. CMT provides resources in:

o        Molecular and cellular biology,
o        protein bio-chemistry,
o        bio-processing,
o        HTS applications and assay development, and
o        mouse genetics.

         CMT's services are performed on a fee-for-service, fixed contract basis
that provides for payments after specific research milestones are achieved.
Research milestones are developed pursuant to the specific research goals of the
customer. CMT utilizes cost and time effective approaches in the delivery of its
services which results in a high level of customer service. We do not receive
residual or royalty payments for future discoveries or uses involving the
materials or services provided to our customers.

         CMT's proposals are based on collaborative discussions between the
customer's research staff and CMT's scientific staff. These discussions lead to
detailed, milestone-based research proposals that are capable of being
periodically modified based on the data collected during each research
milestone. CMT's dynamic, data-driven approach augments and complements the
customer's own research and development efforts in a cost- and time-effective
manner.

         Collaboration with CMT gives customers access to scientific talent and
laboratory capacity. Access to additional scientists and laboratory capacity
augments our customer's implementation of new drug discovery technologies and
methodologies. CMT designs and performs its services to meet a customers
specified research goals and quality standards. The following is a brief
overview of the aforementioned services:

         Molecular and cellular biology. CMT offers an array of services to help
clone, isolate and characterize genes from viral, prokaryotic or eukaryotic
organisms. CMT's services in molecular biology include: construction of custom
cDNA libraries; single cell cDNA libraries; genomic DNA libraries; size
selected, normalized, subtracted libraries and other custom gene libraries. In
addition, CMT provides expertise in molecular cloning and related functions of
target selected genes. CMT's custom services in this area allow our customers to
specify the vector and cell or tissue source.

         Protein bio-chemistry. The drug discovery community demands ever
increasing amounts and numbers of recombinant proteins for their HTS programs,
as well as, biochemical and biophysical studies. CMT meets this demand through
the production and purification of recombinant proteins from
genetically-engineered hosts. CMT offers expression of recombinant proteins in:
Escherichia coli; Yeast; Mammalian Cells; Insect Cells and Baculovirus. CMT also
performs Expression Optimization Studies and Scale-up Process Development.

         Bio-processing. CMT possesses multifaceted cell culture and
fermentation capabilities and expertise, enabling it to produce whole cells,
cellular fractions or biological molecules for both research and assay purposes.
CMT has developed bioprocessing techniques and processes to move research cell
lines to the manufacturing floor. Incorporating cell banking through upstream
and downstream process development CMT delivers a well-characterized process.
Using its flexible cell culture facility, CMT prepares reagents derived from a
broad range of host cell types (including whole cells, cellular fractions, or
purified biomolecule proteins) properly formatted for further characterization
or for use in screening assays. CMT also offers the production of enzymes,
receptors, substrates, growth factors, and antibodies.

         CMT's facilities give it both adherent (flasks, roller bottles, cell
factories) and suspension (spinners, bioreactors) culture capabilities. CMT's
facilities also feature bioreactor capacity to 150 liters, fractionation and
purification capabilities. Its facilities are well-equipped with a dynamic loop
process water system (including ultrafiltration, carbon adsorption, multiple
rounds of ion exchange, and double distillation), warm/cold rooms, laminar-flow
hoods, centrifuges and cell cryopreservation and storage.

                                       3
<page>

         HTS applications and assay development. New drug discovery methods and
technology investment is most evident in the advent of HTS. HTS utilizes
sophisticated automation and robotics to screen large quantities of cells or
proteins very rapidly. Through HTS the drug discovery community is able to
rapidly screen, identify and develop potential drug candidates for a large
number of targets.

         CMT provides whole cells, sub-cellular fractions, and purified proteins
for large-scale HTS programs and secondary assays. These cells and reagents are
tested against the customers specified, stringent quality control standards to
assure performance and reproducibility. The cells and reagents are delivered in
the customer-prescribed format (bulk, multi-well plates, multiple aliquots,
etc.). Customers receive cells or reagents on a regularly scheduled basis
(daily, weekly) and in a format (96 well, 384 well plates) required for the
customer's HTS assays. CMT's services ease the strain on the client's internal
resources and enable customer's screening facilities and equipment to maintain
maximum efficiency and usage times.

         CMT's resources in molecular biology, gene cloning, expression, cell
culture, and cell line development, enables it to provide customers with a
multidisciplinary approach to assay development. CMT can transfer developed
technology back to its customers, or contract with the customer to perform the
assay at CMT's own facilities. CMT's services also include the design,
establishment, and execution of quality control standards for the new assay
system.

         Mouse genetics. The advent of transgenic mouse technology has allowed
researchers to study the impact of gene deletions, mutations, and additions in a
whole-animal system whose genetics are well understood and can be easily
manipulated. Based on this premise, CMT engineers mouse models of human diseases
for use in the identification and validation of potential drug candidates. CMT
is able to construct sophisticated knock-out and knock-in gene models that can
be used to study transcription activity, gene expression and function by
altering or mutating a specific gene in the mouse. CMT offers quality-tested and
proven embryonic stem cells (supplied by our Specialty Media division) from
several strains of mice, including 129, C57BL6, and DBA1, as well as mitomycin-C
treated mouse embryo fibroblast feeder cells. CMT's animals are housed in a
barrier facility under specific pathogen free (SPF) conditions.

         Specialty Media Division (SM)

         CMT develops, manufactures, and markets high quality research products
including:

o        Media and reagents for the culture of mouse embryos
o        Murine Embryonic Stem (ES) cells and reagents
o        Reagents for gene transfer and expression
o        Standard and custom formulated cell culture media.

         CMT also identifies and develops custom research products and reagents
in response to customer feedback and as a result of our MCS services. CMT
manufactures and distributes the aforementioned products in the following
research areas:

         Mouse Embryo Media. The genetic manipulation of early stage mouse
embryos allows research scientists to develop animal models for disease states
for the purpose of elucidating the function of genes which have similarities to
human functions. CMT manufactures media and reagents that support the growth of
mouse embryos. In addition to "standard" formulations, CMT has developed novel
media formulations working in collaboration with Harvard University under NIH
funded grants. While mouse embryo media have been traditionally manufactured as
liquids, CMT developed a powder format greatly extending the media's shelf life
and opening the possibility for overseas shipment and distribution. CMT has
derived several unique Murine ES cell lines, as well as providing media and
reagents qualified for the manipulation of ES Cells.

                                       4
<page>

         Unique Products for General Cell Cultures. A significant portion of the
division's sales revenue is derived from several unique products. Cell culture
freezing media enables researchers to cryogenically archive important cell lines
for future use. CMT's line of enzyme free cell dissociation solutions allows
researchers to remove cells from the vessels on which they are grown while
retaining the functionality of the proteins on their surface. This enables the
cells to be used in assays which rely on cell surface receptors. CMT also
markets a kit containing all of the reagents necessary to introduce foreign
genes into cells, genetically altering the cell line. CMT directly markets these
products and they are also sold by other companies under private label.

     Custom Media Manufacture. Researchers demand varying components and amounts
of the nutrient broths in which cells are grown. CMT produces custom
formulations, with a minimum volume of only 2 liters. CMT has the ability to
formulate complex media in a timely fashion and in low volumes. CMT believes
that this low minimum volume ability has enabled it to enter a niche not
otherwise occupied by the several larger companies advertising such custom
capabilities.


Sentigen Corp.

         Sentigen is engaged in research to develop innovative, environmentally
sound approaches to prevent insect crop damage and the spread of human disease
by impacting insect behavior. Sentigen intends to provide a safe and effective
alternative to pesticides without contaminating the environment or genetically
modifying insects or crops. Sentigen believes its process will enable
identification of bioactive compounds that allow for specificity and
effectiveness in insect control.

         Sentigen intends to biologically pinpoint insect receptors that control
the sense of smell, the primary sense that drives insect behavior. Insects rely
on this sense to locate food, human and animal hosts, and mates. This sense is
highly adapted among different insects, and would enable Sentigen to develop
wholly natural pest management solutions that selectively target detrimental
insect species.

         Sentigen intends to first develop its technology for insects that
affect the agricultural industry, as present methods, including pesticides and
genetically modified foods, are becoming increasingly ineffective and
controversial. Over the past decade, pesticides and genetically modified foods
have been placed under intense scrutiny due to concerns over their adverse
effects upon the environment and human health. Governments are increasingly
regulating and prohibiting pesticides and genetically modified foods and public
opposition has led to a significant increase in the market for organic foods.

         Sentigen also expects to develop a suite of products for the control of
insects that affect human health. Recent outbreaks of mosquito-borne diseases,
including West Nile encephalitis and dengue fever in the United States, as well
as the appearance of pesticide-resistant disease carrying insects throughout the
world have highlighted the need for safer and more effective insect control
strategies in residential areas. Biting insects are also dependent on smell to
locate human and animal prey, and Sentigen intends to utilize its technology to
develop environmentally friendly and novel approaches to combat the threat posed
by these pests.

         Sentigen has an exclusive licensing agreement with The Trustees of
Columbia University in the City of New York for worldwide rights to patent
applications and intellectual property in the areas of chemosensation and
olfaction. Columbia University is at the forefront of research in this field,
and the license covers technologies arising from the initial discovery of
vertebrate olfactory receptors and pheromone receptors and the identification of
the first insect odorant receptors in the laboratory of Dr. Richard Axel at
Columbia University. Sentigen also entered into a consulting agreement with Dr.
Richard Axel. Other consultants hired by Sentigen include Cornelia Bargmann,
PhD, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco; Dr. Gerald M.
Edelman, Director of The Neurosciences Institute, President of Neurosciences
Research Foundation, Chairman of the Department of Neurobiology and Professor at
The Scripps Research Institute; Leslie Vosshall, PhD, an Assistant Professor and
Head of Laboratory at the Rockefeller University; and Wendell Roelofs, The
Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Insect Biochemistry at Cornell University's New
York State Agricultural Experiment Station.

cannot assure you, however, that this customer will continue to generate
significant revenues and the loss of this customer, or any other significant
customers could have a material adverse effect on our business.

         Sentigen Corp.

         Sentigen Corp. was formed in February 2000 to develop innovative,
environmentally sound approaches to prevent insect crop damage and the spread of
human diseases by impacting insect behavior. Sentigen Corp. has not generated
any revenues to date.

Sales and Marketing

         Cell and Molecular Technologies, Inc.

         Molecular Cell Science. CMT has focused on providing pre-clinical
contract research and development to entities engaged in the drug discovery
process. Given the rapid development of molecular biology techniques and the
pace of innovation, we believe that the drug discovery community is now focusing
on HTS as opposed to more basic screening methodologies. We also believe that
there is an increasing trend among companies in the drug discovery community to
outsource segments of the HTS process as well as other segments of the drug
discovery process that occur after primary HTS screens are completed. Such
outsourcing is due to a variety of factors including:

o        the economies of scale necessary to maintain an efficient and effective
         HTS program and remain competitive in the industry
o        the reduced "in-house" staffs resulting from corporate down-sizing and
         investments in automation and robotics
o        the expense and risk inherent in conducting segments of this process
         internally
o        the expanded capabilities and flexibility offered by third party
         research companies without the associated overhead.

         The pattern for outsourcing among the drug discovery community has been
to expand from pre- and post-approval activities, including clinical trial
management, manufacturing, quality control and packaging, toward research and
development. At the front end of the development process, drug discovery based
on rapid-throughput synthesis and screening technologies is typically effected
by very large companies. On the other end, smaller technology companies tend to
provide access to "enabling" technologies that facilitate the process of target
identification and lead compound synthesis and identification. CMT intends to
address the opportunity for a combination of these high-throughput discovery
technologies and the relatively mature market for pre- and post-approval
services. Because of the broad, multi-disciplinary range of customer needs
during this phase of research and development, we believe that CMT's synthesis
of multiple biologically based capabilities makes it well positioned in the
industry. We believe that by expanding state-of-the-art facilities, recruiting
world class scientists, and developing and acquiring new technologies, CMT can
benefit from the growing contract research market.

         Specialty Media. CMT markets its products to specialized aspects of the
cell culture market. CMT believes that, while the overall available revenue from
this area is less than other areas of the market, the potential margins are
greater. Moreover, in serving these areas, CMT has built up significant customer
loyalty and name recognition, despite relatively minimal marketing activities.
CMT's sales efforts are coordinated by its Chief Operating Officer, whose duties
include oversight of production and development, direct sales and distributor
arrangements. We also utilize the services of PGC Scientifics and VWR
Scientific, national distributors of research products, which are responsible
primarily for sales to customers not serviced regularly by our company.

         Sentigen Corp.

         Sentigen Corp. is engaged in research to develop innovative,
environmentally sound approaches to prevent insect crop damage and the spread of
human disease by impacting insect behavior. Sentigen Corp. intends to provide a
safe and effective alternative to pesticides without contaminating the
environment or genetically modifying insects or crops. For the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000, Sentigen Corp. did not engage in any sales
activities. Sentigen Corp. has been focused on research and development, and has
participated in various scientific and industry conferences and met with leading
agricultural and biotechnology companies in an effort to raise awareness of its
technology among constituents in the agricultural and human health communities.

Manufacturing, Suppliers and Inventory

         The manufacturing, order fulfillment and shipping functions for CMT are
accomplished at our Phillipsburg facilities. The raw materials used in SM's
manufacturing process are purchased from a variety of third-party suppliers. CMT
also has numerous alternative sources of supplies with respect to all the
critical components used in the delivery of its contract R&D services. CMT
maintains adequate inventory at its Phillipsburg facilities to support its
direct sales needs.


Competition

         Cell and Molecular Technologies, Inc.

         Generally, CMT competes with a combination of national and regional
companies ranging from large companies engaging in contract R&D or reagent
services to companies specializing in one particular aspect of R&D or media
production. Some of these companies have captured a significant, and in certain
cases controlling, share of the market. Many competitors have achieved
significant national, regional and local brand name and product recognition.
These competitors also engage in frequent and extensive advertising and
promotional programs, both generally and in response to efforts by other
competitors entering the market or existing competitors introducing new
products. Many of these companies have substantially greater financial,
technical, marketing, personnel and other resources than CMT.

         We believe that entry barriers to these markets are significant,
involving the high costs of specialized scientific equipment, the need to
recruit highly trained professional scientific staff with industrial and
academic experience, and the ability to offer a wide range of services and
expertise. The ability to compete successfully in the industry is affected by
these and other factors, including without limitation price of services, ease of
use, reliability, customer support, geographic coverage and industrial and
general economic trends. In addition, R&D services involve customers dependent
upon government grants and other institutional funding.

         We believe that CMT can compete effectively based on its ability to
provide its customers with both (i) Contract R&D Services for early
stage/pre-clinical R&D in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and
(ii) the preparation of reagents for cell culture, molecular biology, and mouse
genetics in the international academic and industrial research markets. We
believe that, although there are a number of large competitors that have
substantially greater resources than CMT, such competitors have well established
businesses in only one of these areas. Available contract research services have
for the most part focused on delivering routine technology at low cost. These
services have flourished because by maximizing the load on their equipment and
labor resources, they can reduce the customer's in-house cost. Such economies of
scale are achieved at a cost to the customer who remains for the most part
responsible for defining protocol and overseeing its implementation to insure
that the results are useable to the customer's in-house projects. In contrast,
CMT offers, in addition to the full range of R&D services, complete experimental
design and consultation throughout the performance of its services.

         Molecular Cell Science. CMT believes that the Contract R&D business can
be divided into four markets, consisting of (i) low end R&D, (ii) specialty R&D,
(iii) high end R&D and (iv) technology platform R&D, as follows:

         (i) Low End R&D. Services performed in this market are characterized by
low margins and strong competition. These services are generally simple,
process-oriented engagements. These services tend not to lead to higher end,
more complex projects. This market is comprised of small local vendors, some of
which have grown to cover larger markets. CMT offers services in this area,
including those offered by its competitors, usually as part of a larger customer
engagement.

                                       7
<page>

         (ii) Specialty R&D. Services performed in this market tend to be
technical and/or target focused. These services can lead to new and more complex
projects and have the opportunity to grow significantly in scope. The
identification, validation and supply of HTS targets is a rapidly growing
segment of the Contract R&D business as illustrated by a significant increase in
both inquiries and revenue in this area. We believe that CMT is well positioned
to participate in this market due to its breadth of technical expertise and its
experience with existing HTS clients.

         (iii) High End R&D. Services performed in this market tend to be high
margin, highly skilled technical and mechanical matters, requiring significant
intellectual input, problem solving capabilities and access to well recognized
academics. These services often require the development of new high end
technologies and lead to more complex projects. Such projects can be used as a
launch pad for developing proprietary technologies. We believe that CMT is well
positioned to participate in this market, offering expert research services,
consultation at all stages of the project problem solving abilities, and lab
capacity.

         (iv) Technology Platform R&D. This market is comprised of companies
which have based their business on performing drug screening and/or licensing
their proprietary technology to companies for their in-house screening programs.
These relationships are generally associated with significant licensing costs
and downstream royalties. The application and/or licensing of such proprietary
technology platforms involve large contracts and is highly competitive.
Competition arises from the development of alternative and competing
technologies designed to yield results ever more quickly and inexpensively. CMT
is active in this market as well, developing novel technology platforms through
research performed for its own account, licensing arrangements as well as
through collaborative small business research grants. CMT's proprietary
technologies are principally focused on the rapid identification, expression and
characterization of genes and proteins for use in the screening and discovery of
potential drug candidates in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries.
CMT is expanding this effort to include the engineering of cells and cell based
reagents to facilitate their use with existing and emerging drug discovery
platforms.

         Specialty Media Division. We believe that the SM market is dominated by
a few very large companies with a number of minor participants. Historically,
the revenue producers in the Specialty Media market have been a limited number
(fewer than 20) of manufacturers of public-domain media formulations (mostly
developed in the 1960's) and the Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) which has been used to
supplement media. CMT believes that mostly price-based competition exists in
this area.

         Sentigen Corp.

         Sentigen Corp. is engaged in research to develop innovative,
environmentally sound approaches to prevent insect crop damage and the spread of
human disease by impacting insect behavior. Sentigen Corp. intends to provide a
safe and effective alternative to pesticides without contaminating the
environment or genetically modifying insects or crops. We believe Sentigen
Corp.'s process will enable identification of bioactive compounds that allow for
specificity and effectiveness in insect control.

         Sentigen Corp. has not yet developed an actual product or generated any
revenues. Sentigen Corp.'s future competitive position depends on its ability to
develop a product that will be more economically feasible and at the same time
more effective than the elements of a traditional integrated pest management
strategy. While we believe that the Sentigen Corp. approach is unique and
provides a new technological solution which resolves environmental and public
health issues; pesticide manufacturers, genetic engineers and introductory
biologically based solution companies are still considered competitors of our
solution.

         Pesticide Manufacturers. In order to alleviate growing negative public
opinion, many pharmaceutical and chemical companies have spun off pesticide
divisions, and are publicly proposing to manufacture "greener" products. At this
point, however, the research and development budget of pesticide companies
remains primarily focused on their core business of pesticides.

         Genetic Engineers. Genetically modified varieties of corn, cotton and
potatoes are currently grown that produce their own insecticide. In the mid
1990s, many farmers switched to these "super-seeds," allowing genetically
altered corn and soybeans to enter into the worldwide marketplace quietly.
Recently, various sicknesses and health problems have been caused by the use of
these seeds. As a result, this solution has become increasingly controversial.

         Biologically Based Solutions. Biologically based solutions, such as
pheromone mating disruption, represent considerably safer alternatives to
pesticides and genetically modified foods. However, these technologies have been
risky and difficult to produce.

Government Regulation

         We are subject to many laws and governmental regulations and changes in
these laws and regulations, or their interpretation by agencies and the courts,
occur frequently.

         Environmental Regulation. Our operations are subject to various
evolving federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the
protection of the environment, which laws govern, among other things, emissions
to air, discharges to ground, surface water, and groundwater, and the
generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of a
variety of hazardous and non-hazardous substances and wastes. Federal and state
environmental laws and regulations often require manufacturers to obtain permits
for these emissions and discharges. Failure to comply with environmental laws or
to obtain, or comply with, the necessary state and federal permits can subject
the manufacturer to substantial civil and criminal penalties. CMT operates a
manufacturing facility and Sentigen Corp. operates a laboratory facility.
Although we believe that these facilities are in substantial compliance with all
applicable material environmental laws, it is possible that there are material
environmental liabilities of which we are unaware. If the costs of compliance
with the various existing or future environmental laws and regulations,
including any penalties which may be assessed for failure to obtain necessary
permits, exceed our budgets for those items, our business could be adversely
affected. In addition, liability to third parties could have a material adverse
effect on our business.

         Potential Environmental Cleanup Liability. The Federal Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended, and many
similar state statutes, impose joint and several liability for environmental
damages and cleanup costs on past or current owners and operators of facilities
at which hazardous substances have been discharged, as well as on persons who
generate, transport, or arrange for disposal of hazardous wastes at a particular
site. In addition, the operator of a facility may be subject to claims by third
parties for personal injury, property damage or other costs resulting from
contamination present at or emanating from property on which its facility is
located. Furthermore, certain business operations of CMT also involve shipping
hazardous waste off-site for disposal. As a result, we could be subject to
liability under these statutes. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we or our
subsidiaries will not be subject to liability relating to manufacturing
facilities owned or operated by us currently or in the past.

         Permits. In connections with its business operations, CMT has obtained
permits from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection as both a
hazardous waste and medical waste generator. CMT believes that its compliance
with these regulations, however, is on a voluntary basis inasmuch as its
operations produce insufficient levels of chemical waste. We further believe
that none of its medical waste is deemed infectious. In addition, CMT has
obtained a permit from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the use of
radioisotopes in connection with its research functions.

         Other Regulations. In addition to the foregoing, we may be subject to
various other federal, state and local regulatory and licensing requirements as
the same are promulgated from time to time by the Environmental Protection
Agency, Food and Drug Administration, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and other federal, state and local
regulatory agencies. Failure on our part to comply with any of these
requirements could result in the imposition of fines by governmental authorities
or awards of damages to private litigants. We have made, and will continue to
make, capital and other expenditures necessary to monitor and to comply with any
applicable regulations. For the year ended December 31, 2001, we did not have to
make any material expenditures with respect to such matters.


Trademarks, Proprietary Information and Patents

         We utilize certain proprietary information in connection with the
provision of our services and the manufacture and sale of our products,
including processes and formulas with respect to cell and embryo culture media
and reagents, and gene expression systems that we believe are proprietary to us.
We rely on customary principles of "work-for-hire" as well as technical measures
to establish and protect the ideas, concepts, and documentation of our
proprietary technology and know-how and, in certain instances, have entered into
non-disclosure agreements with our customers and employees. Such methods,
however, may not afford complete protection, and we cannot assure you that third
parties will not independently develop such know how or obtain access to our
know-how, ideas, concepts, and documentation. Although we believe that our
technology has been developed independently and does not infringe on the
proprietary rights of others, we cannot assure you that the technology does not
and will not so infringe or that third parties will not assert infringement
claims against us in the future. In the case of infringement, we would, under

                                       9
<page>

certain circumstances, be required to modify our products or obtain a license.
We cannot assure you that we will have the financial or other resources
necessary to successfully defend a patent infringement or other proprietary
rights infringement action or that we could modify our products or obtain a
license if we were required to do so. Failure to do any of the foregoing could
have a material adverse effect on our business. If our products or technologies
are deemed to infringe upon the rights of others, we could be liable for
damages, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

         Cell & Molecular Technologies

         During 1999, CMT applied to the United States Patent and Trademark
Office for a trademark, EmbryoMax(R). The EmbryoMax(R) trademark pertains to
Specialty Media's mouse embryo culture media and reagents offered by Specialty
Media to support the generation of transgenic mice.

         Sentigen Corp.

         During 2000, Sentigen Corp. entered into an exclusive licensing
agreement with Columbia University in the City of New York for worldwide rights
to patent applications and intellectual property in the areas of chemosensation
and olfaction.


Product Liability

         As a manufacturer of certain products, we may be exposed to product
liability claims by consumers. We have obtained product liability insurance
coverage in the aggregate amount of $2 million ($1 million per occurrence), and
an umbrella policy that provides a $10 million coverage (per occurrence or in
the aggregate). Although we believe that this amount of insurance is sufficient,
we cannot assure you that it will provide coverage for any claim against us or
will be sufficient to cover all possible liabilities. In the event a successful
suit is brought against us, unavailability or insufficiency of insurance
coverage could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Moreover, any
adverse publicity arising from claims made against us, even if such claims were
not successful, could adversely affect the reputation and sales of our products
and services.


Employees

         As of December 31, 2001, we had forty-one (41) full-time and five (5)
part-time employees. Of such employees: four (4) are executive employees; two
(2) are engaged in customer support; eighteen (18) (including 2 part-time
employees) are engaged in contract research and development; five (5) (including
2 part-time employees) are engaged in media production; eight (8) (including 1
part-time employee) are engaged in research and development activities; two (2)
are engaged in sales and marketing; two (2) are engaged in warehousing, shipping
and receiving; and five (5) are engaged in accounting and administration.

         None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements.
We believe that we have a good relationship with our employees.


History of Sentigen Holding Corp.

         We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in May
1990 under the name Prime Cellular, Inc. (Prime) to provide management services,
including business planning, marketing, engineering, design and construction
consulting services, to rural service area cellular telephone licensees.
However, preferences of owners of construction permits and the deterioration in
general economic conditions subsequent to Prime's initial public offering in
early August 1990 negatively impacted Prime's business plan and Prime soon
determined that it was prudent for it to explore other uses for Prime's funds.

         Prime initially analyzed potential investments in debt and equity
instruments of entities involved in either the cellular or related industries
and subsequently expanded its search to include entities involved in
non-cellular operations.

                                       10
<page>

         On June 11, 1996, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Prime consummated a
merger (Bern Merger) with Bern Associates, Inc. (Bern) pursuant to that certain
Merger Agreement, dated May 14, 1996 (Bern Agreement), by and among Prime, its
subsidiary, Bern and all of the stockholders of Bern. Bern's business consisted
principally of designing, installing, maintaining, servicing and supporting
computer systems to enable regional telephone companies to provide Internet
access to their subscribers as well as developing Internet related software.
Bern offered its customers an integrated Internet access solution comprised of
off-the-shelf computer hardware and accessories, systems integration, billing
software and twenty-four hour subscriber support. Bern also provided network
management services to regional telephone companies already offering Internet
access. After the Bern Merger, Prime's subsidiary changed its name to "Bern
Communications, Inc." (Bern Communications). The Merger was accounted for as a
reverse acquisition whereby Bern Communications was treated as the acquirer for
financial reporting purposes. From June 11, 1996 until November 30, 1997, Bern
Communications was the sole operating entity of Prime.

         On August 28, 1997, Prime entered into a settlement with former
stockholders of Bern (Bern Stockholders) for alleged breaches of certain
representations and warranties made by the Bern Stockholders with respect to the
Bern Merger as well as for on-going disputes concerning the operations and
direction of the business of Bern Communications. Pursuant to the settlement,
Prime (i) purchased all of the shares of common stock in Prime held by the Bern
Stockholders as a result of the Prime Merger, at a purchase price of $.50 per
share (the market price on the date of such purchase), aggregating 676,937
shares of common stock for an aggregate amount of $338,469, (ii) transferred to
certain Bern Stockholders all right and title to the intellectual property
rights with respect to the computer software program WEBSITENOW and certain
computer hardware used in the development of such software program. In exchange,
such Bern Stockholders signed a general release and, to the extent applicable,
confirmed their prior resignations as our officers and/or directors and/or Bern
Communications as well as terminated their respective options to purchase our
common stock. All shares acquired by us pursuant to the settlement were
canceled, effective as of August 28, 1997.

         Following the settlement, Bern Communications ceased soliciting further
opportunities or engaging in any further consulting services in connection with
its integrated Internet access system. Moreover, all sales of computer hardware
and/or software of Bern Communications were discontinued effective as of the
settlement. Bern Communications did nevertheless continue to provide help desk
functions as well as network management services pursuant to its existing
contractual arrangements. All such contractual arrangements were terminated on
or about November, 1997.

         On May 29, 1998, a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of Prime
acquired, by merger, CMT. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, dated May 29, 1998,
the subsidiary was merged into CMT and all of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of CMT were converted into an aggregate of 1,611,000 shares of common
stock, par value $.01 per share, of Prime (CMT Merger), representing
approximately 26.4% (after consummation of the CMT Merger) of Prime's issued and
outstanding common stock. The CMT Merger was accounted for as a reverse
acquisition whereby CMT was treated as the acquirer for financial reporting
purposes. In connection with the CMT Merger, the company changed its fiscal year
end from May 31, to December 31, which year end corresponds with the fiscal year
end for CMT.

         On December 22, 1998, each of Prime Cellular of Florida, Inc. and Bern
Communications, Inc., as wholly-owned subsidiaries of Prime no longer conduct
business and merged with and into Prime pursuant to a short-form affiliate
merger.

         Sentigen Corp. was formed by Prime in February of 2000. Prime changed
its name to Sentigen Holding Corp. on June 23, 2000, at which time our ticker
symbol changed to SGHL. On January 9, 2002 our common stock began trading on The
Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol SGHL.


ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

         Since June 1998, our executive offices have been located at 580
Marshall Street, Phillipsburg, New Jersey 08865 (the Phillipsburg facility). The
Phillipsburg facility consists of approximately 6,651 square feet of laboratory,
manufacturing and office/warehouse space. The property is owned by our
wholly-owned subsidiary, CMT. The Phillipsburg facility was acquired in
connection with the CMT Merger subject to a mortgage and note, dated February
10, 1997, in the aggregate principal amount of $287,600. As of December 31,
2001, the balance due under the note is $259,629.

HTS and assay development services. Rental expense on this property totaled
$13,500 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

         We conduct Sentigen Corp.'s research and development activities from a
leased facility totaling approximately 2,000 square feet at 3960 Broadway, New
York, New York 10032. The lease expires in April 2002, but contains extension
options through May 2003. We also lease administrative office space at this same
location totaling approximately 1,000 square feet. Total rental expense for this
location was $84,173 for the year ended December 31, 2001.

         We also lease approximately 980 square feet of administrative office
space at 434 East Cooper Street, Aspen, Colorado 81611. Rental expense for this
property was $36,492 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The lease expires in
April 2003.

         We routinely evaluate our facilities for adequacy in light of our plans
for growth in various geographic markets. Our plans may require us to lease
additional facilities in the future.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2001 to Year Ended December 31, 2000

         Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2001 was $6,080,198 as compared
to $4,729,503 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This $1,350,695 or 29%
increase in revenues was the result of a $880,478 or 29% increase in revenues
from the molecular cell science division and a $470,217 or 28% increase in
revenues from the specialty media division. Our revenues are entirely
attributable to the operations of Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. ("CMT").

         Revenue growth through molecular cell science, was attributable to more
aggressive High Throughput Screening programs employed by our customers. These
programs are running with extended screening times which require more diverse
cell lines, additional products and support from CMT. We also hired a business
development director in the second quarter of 2000, and as a result of increased
sales and marketing efforts, our portfolio of contracts has increased.

         Revenue growth through specialty media, was attributable to three
factors: (i) a more effective sales and marketing program, (ii) increased
business from companies private labeling our media, and (iii) increased sales of
our cell line based products.

         Income after direct costs for the year ended December 31, 2001 was
$3,804,142 or a 63% margin, as compared to $2,838,854 or a 60% margin for the
year ended December 31, 2000. The increase in margins was due to pricing
increases implemented at the beginning of 2001 and a shift in our revenue mix
towards sales of higher margin contract R&D relationships and media products.

         Selling, general and administrative costs of CMT increased from
$1,420,588 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to $2,027,716 for the year ended
December 31, 2001. This increase of $607,128 or 43% can be attributed to the
increased infrastructure costs resulting from our new North Wales, Pennsylvania
facility, additional hiring of new employees during the year and increased sales
and marketing activity.

         Research and development costs increased from $467,567 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to $1,022,490 for the year ended December 31, 2001.
Sentigen Corp. was formed in February of 2000 and did not commence significant
research activities until May of 2000; consequently, research and development
costs for the year ended December 31, 2000 represent approximately seven months
of activity.

         Corporate overhead increased from $698,601 for the year ended December
31, 2000 to $1,219,476 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The $520,875 or 75%
increase can be attributed to higher personnel and professional costs.

         Non-cash charges for the stock-based compensation of our scientific
consultants decreased from $213,729 for the year ended December 31, 2000 to
$73,146 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The decrease of $140,583 or 66%
can be attributed to the amendments to our consulting agreements with these
scientists. According to the amended agreements dated December 3, 2001 the
consultants' remaining unvested options will vest based on the sole discretion
of the Board of Directors. The amendments to the agreements constituted a change
in accounting estimate for purposes of calculating stock-based compensation.
According to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123 "Accounting for
Stock Based Compensation," charges for non-cash stock based compensation for the
unvested options of these consultants were not recognized in 2001, accounting
for the decrease.

         Depreciation and amortization increased from $282,753 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 to $484,126 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The
increase of $201,373 or 71% can be attributed to the increased equipment
expenditures in 2001 associated with the build-out of CMT's new North Wales,
Pennsylvania facility, and its expansion at the 445 Marshall Street,
Phillipsburg, New Jersey site.

         Interest income, net of interest expenses increased by $316,354, which
is directly attributable to the investment of proceeds from our November 2000
private placement.

                                       15

         Our income tax provision increased from $74,322 for the year ended
December 31, 2000 to $133,122 for the year ended December 31, 2001. The increase
is attributable to the increase in the income from operations of CMT. The income
from operations of CMT increased from $1,124,337 for the year ended December 31,
2000 to $1,360,025. This increase of $235,688 or 21% generated additional state
income tax expenses of $58,800 in the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared
to the year ended December 31, 2000.

         As a result of the foregoing, our net loss increased from $126,715 for
the year ended December 31, 2000 to $647,589 for the year ended December 31,
2001.


Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2000 to Year Ended December 31, 1999

         Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2000 was $4,729,503 as compared
to $3,916,581 for the year ended December 31, 1999. This $812,922 or 21%
increase in revenues was the result of a $620,318 or 26% increase in revenues
from the molecular cell science division and a $192,604 or 13% increase in
revenues from the specialty media division.

         The increase in revenues from the molecular cell science division is
due to three factors: (i) a more effective sales and marketing program resulting
from the addition of our business development director (ii) our contract R&D
services offered in molecular biology, protein bio-chemistry, bio-processing and
mouse genetics are transitioning from smaller, shorter-term projects to larger,
long-term research partnerships which carry higher contract values and (iii)
more aggressive HTS programs with extended screening times which require more of
our HTS applications and technology development services.

         The increase in revenues from the specialty media division was the
result of three factors: (i) a more effective sales and marketing program, (ii)
increased business from companies private labeling our media and (iii) an
increased use of our ES lines.

         Income after direct costs for the year ended December 31, 2000 was
$2,838,854 or a 60% margin, as compared to $2,290,378 or a 58% margin for the
year ended December 31, 1999. The increase in margins was due to a more
efficient utilization of facilities and headcount during the year and a shift
towards higher margin contract R&D relationships.

         Research and development costs increased from $28,960 for the year
ended December 31, 1999 to $467,567 for the year ended December 31, 2000. This
increase was due to the research activities of Sentigen Corp. which was not in
existence in 1999.

         Selling, general and administrative costs of CMT increased from
$1,007,935 for the year ended December 31, 1999 to $1,420,588 for the year ended
December 31, 2000. This increase of $412,653 or 41% was due to higher wages and
increased sales and marketing expenses.

         Corporate overhead resulted in net expense of $698,601 for the year
ended December 31, 2000 as compared to a net expense of $533,262 for the year
ended December 31, 1999. The increase of $165,339 or 31% is the result of higher
personnel and professional costs during the year.

         Non-cash charges for the stock-based compensation of the scientific
advisory board were $213,729 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The
scientific advisory board did not exist in 1999.

         Depreciation and amortization increased from $239,457 for the year
ended December 31, 1999 to $282,753 for the year ended December 31, 2000. The
increase of $43,296 or 18% can be attributed to capital expenditures made in
2000.

         Interest income, net of interest expenses increased by $31,641 or 20%,
primarily due to higher yields on our investment securities in 2000.

         As a result of the foregoing, net income declined from $641,114 for the
year ended December 31, 1999 to a net loss of $126,715 for the year ended
December 31, 2000.

                                       16

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At December 31, 2001 we had $4,889,272 in cash, $4,898,490 in
investment securities and working capital of $9,929,995. During the year ended
December 31, 2001 we financed our operations primarily through working capital
and we financed capital expenditures through bank loans.

         During the first quarter of 2001 we leased approximately 3,000 square
feet of laboratory space to accommodate growth opportunities for CMT's High
Throughput Screening applications and assay development services. In connection
with this new facility, CMT borrowed $404,337 under a $720,000 loan commitment
to finance capital equipment expenditures. We are required to pay interest at
the prime rate plus 50 basis points on principal amounts borrowed during the
first year of the loan commitment. At the conclusion of the first year of the
loan commitment (June 2002) or when we have borrowed the entire amount under the
loan commitment, whichever is sooner, the outstanding principal will be repaid
over seven years with interest at the prime rate plus 50 basis points. In March
2002, CMT borrowed the remaining $315,663 under this loan commitment.

         In June 2001, Sentigen Corp. borrowed an additional $60,000 under its
existing $500,000 five-year loan commitment to finance equipment expenditures,
for a total of $300,000 borrowed to date, at an interest rate of 8.75%. Sentigen
Corp. now has $200,000 in available funds under this loan commitment.

         Sentigen Corp. was formed in February of 2000 and is focusing on
research and development activities . Our licensing agreement with The Trustees
of the Columbia University in New York calls for us to contribute a minimum of
$1,000,000 into Sentigen Corp. within one year of the date of the agreement (by
April 2001) or we must be involved in active negotiations to raise $1,000,000 in
additional funding. We satisfied this provision through the consummation of our
private placement in November 2000 in which we sold 863,834 shares of our common
stock at $6.00 per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,183,004.

         Another provision of the agreement calls for a minimum of $50,000 per
six month period or $100,000 per annual period to be spent on bona fide research
and development of the patents and licenses subject to the agreement from the
second through the fourth years of the agreement (April 2002 through April 2004)
or we must be involved in active negotiation to raise $1,000,000 in additional
funding. We satisfied this provision through April 2002. We believe that we have
enough capital resources to meet the financial requirements of this provision
for the agreement years 2002 and beyond.

         Five stockholders and one of their related parties advanced $500,000,
in aggregate, to CMT during 1997. The promissory notes bear 5% simple interest,
payable at maturity, and had an original due date of July 14, 2002. As a result
of the CMT merger, the above loans' maturity dates were accelerated to May 1,
2000. During 1999, the stockholders agreed to extend the above loans' maturity
date to May 1, 2001. In July 2001, the stockholders agreed to extend the
maturity date of the loans until September 1, 2001. On September 1, 2001 CMT
repaid principal and interest of $603,125 to retire the loans.

         We believe our financial resources will be sufficient to fund our
operations and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. However, we may,
in the future, deem it advisable to obtain additional debt or equity financing
if interest rates and other terms are favorable.

Significant Accounting Policies

         We do not believe that any of the accounting policies we have adopted
involve a high degree of complex or subjective judgment in their application or
choices among alternatives that would lead to materially different results. A
summary of our significant accounting policies is provided in Note 2 of the
Financial Statements


Inflation

         Inflation has historically not had a material effect on our operations.

Scientific Consultants

         In connection with the formation of Sentigen Corp. we engaged a group
of scientists to act as consultants to Sentigen Corp. in the field of olfaction
and chemosensation. The consultants generally advise us concerning long-term
scientific planning, research and development, and also evaluate our research
programs, recommend personnel to us and advise us on specific scientific and
technical issues. The consultants generally meet at least once per quarter, and
some individual scientific advisors consult with and meet informally with us on
a more frequent basis. None of our consultants is employed by us, and any or all
of our consultants may have commitments to or consulting or advisory contracts
with their employers or other entities that may conflict or compete with their
obligations to us. These consultants were issued stock options and will be
compensated at the rate of $2,500 plus out-of-pocket expenses for each formal
meeting. On December 3, 2001 we restructured the consulting agreements with all
but one consultant to provide unvested stock options granted to such consultants
will vest based on the sole discretion of the Board of Directors instead of in
accordance with a pre-determined vesting schedule.

         The consultants to Sentigen Corp. are:

Dr. Richard Axel             Professor at Columbia University

Cornelia Bargmann, PhD       Professor at the University of California,
                             San Francisco

Dr. Gerald M. Edelman        Director of The Neurosciences Institute, President
                             of Neurosciences Research Foundation, Chairman of
                             the Department of Neurobiology and Professor at
                             The Scripps Research Institute

Wendell L. Roelofs, PhD      Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Insect
                             Biochemistry at Cornell University's New York State
                             Agricultural Experiment Station

Leslie Vosshall, PhD         Assistant Professor and Head of Laboratory at
                             the Rockefeller University

         Dr. Richard Axel is a graduate of Columbia College and The Johns
Hopkins School of Medicine. In early work, Dr. Axel and his colleagues developed
gene transfer techniques that permitted the introduction of virtually any gene
into any cell, allowing analysis of gene function in vivo. These experiments in
cell transformation led to the isolation and functional analysis of the gene for
the T-cell surface protein, CD4, the cellular receptor for HIV.

         More recently, Dr. Axel has been applying the techniques of molecular
biology to problems in neurobiology and his work has been largely concerned with
the molecular logic of olfactory perception. This research has provided
important insights into how the recognition of odors is translated into an
internal representation of sensory quality in the brain.

         In recognition of his work in molecular genetics, Dr. Axel has received
numerous awards: the Passano Foundation Young Scientist Award, the Alan T.
Waterman Award from the National Science Foundation, the Eli Lilly Award in
Biological Chemistry, the New York Academy of Sciences Award in Biological and
Medical Sciences, the Lounsbery Award from the National Academy of Sciences, the
John Jay Award from Columbia University, and the Science Pour L'Art Award, LMVH,
Paris. Dr. Axel was the 1996 co-recipient of the Unilever Science Award, and in
1997 was the co-recipient of the Rosenstiel Award. In 1998, he received the
Bristol Meyers Squibb Award for Excellence in Neuroscience, and in 1999, the
Hamilton Medal from Columbia University. Dr. Axel is a member of the National
Academy of Sciences, and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

         Cornelia Bargmann, PhD did her graduate work with Dr. Robert Weinberg
at the Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, where she participated in
the discovery of several human oncogenes, and her postdoctoral work with Dr. H.
R. Horvitz at MIT, where she characterized chemosensory responses of the
nematode C. elegans.

         Her work focuses on olfactory signaling mechanisms and on the genetics
of behavior. Her lab's experimental approach combines behavioral approaches with
classical genetics and molecular biology. Dr. Bargmann's lab was the first to
identify an odorant receptor that recognizes a specific odor, and to demonstrate
that the loss of the receptor led to a behavioral defect in the odor response.
The lab demonstrated that the behavioral response to an odor is encoded by the
olfactory neuron, and that misexpressing an odorant receptor in an inappropriate
neuron can alter the behavioral response to the odor. In addition, the lab has
characterized the genetic basis of natural behavioral variation, identifying a
neuropeptide receptor as the regulator of a social feeding response.

         Dr. Bargmann has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards for
her research, including the Charles W. Herrick Award, the W. Alden Spencer
Award, and the Takasago Award. She serves as an editor of the scientific
journals Cell, Neuron, and Genes and Development, and as a scientific advisor to
the Klingenstein Fund for Epilepsy Research, the National Institutes of
Neurological Disorders and Stroke, and the Damon Runyon-Walter Winchell Cancer
Research Fund.

         Dr. Gerald M. Edelman has made significant research contributions in
biophysics, protein chemistry, immunology, cell biology, and neurobiology. His
early studies on the structure and diversity of antibodies led to the Nobel
Prize for Physiology in 1972. He then began research into the mechanisms
involved in the regulation of primary cellular processes, particularly the
control of cell growth and the development of multicellular organisms. He has
focused on cell-cell interactions in early embryonic development and in the
formation and function of the nervous system. These studies led to the discovery
of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs), which have been found to guide the
fundamental processes by which an animal achieves its shape and form, and by
which nervous systems are built. One of the most significant insights provided
by this work is that the precursor gene for the neural cell adhesion molecule
gave rise in evolution to the entire molecular system of adaptive immunity.

         Dr. Edelman has formulated a detailed theory to explain the development
and organization of higher brain functions in terms of a process known as
neuronal group selection. This theory was presented in his 1987 volume Neural
Darwinism, a widely known work. Dr. Edelman's continuing work in theoretical
neuroscience includes designing new kinds of machines, called recognition
automata, that are capable of carrying out tests of the self-consistency of the
theory of neuronal group selection and promise to shed new light on the
fundamental workings of the human brain. A new, biologically based theory of
consciousness extending the theory of neuronal group selection is presented in
his 1989 volume The Remembered Present. His most recent book, Bright Air,
Brilliant Fire, published in 1992, continues to explore the implications of
neuronal group selection and neural evolution for a modern understanding of the
mind and the brain.

         Dr. Edelman was born in New York City in 1929. He earned his B.S.
degree at Ursinus College and an M.D. at the University of Pennsylvania. He
spent a year at the Johnson Foundation of Medical Physics, and after a medical
house officership at the Massachusetts General Hospital, he served as a Captain
in the Army Medical Corps. In 1960 he earned his PhD at The Rockefeller
Institute (now University). In addition to the Nobel Prize, Dr. Edelman has been
the recipient of numerous awards and honors, including many honorary degrees. He
is a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the American Philosophical
Society, and several foreign societies, including the Academy of Sciences,
Institute of France. He is author of over 450 research publications.

         Wendell L. Roelofs, PhD obtained a B.S. in Chemistry in 1960 from
Central College in Pella, Iowa, and a PhD in Organic Chemistry in 1964 from
Indiana University. He served at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a
postdoctoral fellow in Chemistry and then as an Assistant Professor at Cornell
University Entomology Department's Agricultural Experiment Station, where he
currently serves as The Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Insect Biochemistry.
For three decades Dr. Roelofs' research efforts have led to promising
non-pesticidal, sustainable pest management technologies based on behavioral,
physiological and biochemical insect traits. Dr. Roelofs research has identified
pheromone blends of more than 50 major agricultural pests. These advances have
led to a worldwide pheromone industry worth over $100 million. Dr. Roelofs
received the Kenneth A. Spencer Award in Food and Agricultural Chemistry from
the American Chemical Society in February 2001. Dr. Roelofs has received
numerous other awards for his research efforts including: Alexander Humbolt
Award, The Wolf Foundation Prize in Agriculture and The National Medal of
Science. He is author or co-author of over 320 research publications.

         Leslie Vosshall, PhD is Assistant Professor and Head of Laboratory of
Neurogenetics and Behavior at the Rockefeller University. Her lab studies the
molecular genetics of insect olfaction. Dr. Vosshall was a postdoctoral fellow
and Associate Research Scientist at the Center for Neurobiology and Behavior at
Columbia University, where she worked with Dr. Richard Axel to identify the
Drosophila odorant receptors. She graduated with an A.B. in Biochemistry from
Columbia University, where she was a John Jay Scholar. Her Ph.D. work was
conducted at the Rockefeller University, and involved the behavior genetics of
biological rhythms. Dr. Vosshall has been named a Beckman Young Investigator, a
McKnight Fellow, and was the recipient of a National Science Foundation CAREER
award in 2000 and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers
in 2001.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our
officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of
a registered class of our equity securities, file certain reports of ownership
and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Officers,
directors, and greater than 10 percent beneficial stockholders are required by
SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely on our review of the copies of such forms received by us,
or representations obtained from certain reporting persons, we believe that
during the year ended December 31, 2000 all filing requirements applicable to
its officers, directors, and greater than 10 percent beneficial stockholders
were complied with, except that Joel Pearlberg, a director of our company filed
one Form 3 late and Thomas J. Livelli, a director and executive officer of our
company filed one Form 4 late, which Form 4 reported one transaction.

         aggregate of 217,000 shares of our common stock at $1.625 per share,
         which options were immediately exercisable upon grant. On April 30,
         1999, we extended the expiration date of the options to April 30, 2004.

(4)      Mr. Rolff joined our company on November 13, 2000 at an annual salary
         of $75,000. On May 25, 2001, Mr. Rolff's salary was increased to
         $115,000 per annum.

(5)      The employees of CMT and the Chief Financial Officer of our company
         were paid a bonus based on 5% of the respective individual's annual
         salary rate. Each individual's bonus was prorated for months of service
         for the year ended December 31, 2001.

(6)      Management of CMT and the Chief Financial Officer of our company was
         paid a bonus based on CMT's pre-tax income for the year ended December

         agreement dated May 23, 2001.

(10)     On May 23, 2001, we granted Mr. Livelli stock options to purchase
         25,000 shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share, which expire on
         May 22, 2011. The options vest in five equal annual installments
         commencing on January 1, 2002.


Compensation Arrangements for Current Executive Officers

         On May 24, 1999, we entered into an employment agreement with Joseph K.
Pagano to serve as our president, replacing the consulting agreement that we had
with Mr. Pagano. The agreement was for an initial term of one year. Mr. Pagano
is currently serving under an automatic renewal provision in his employment
agreement, which provides for one year extensions upon the expiration of each
one year term if no notice is given by us or Mr. Pagano that such party desires
not to extend the employment agreement. The employment agreement provides for an
annual base compensation of $85,000. In connection with the employment
agreement, the termination date of 217,000 options previously granted to Mr.
Pagano under the 1990 Plan were extended an additional three years to April 30,
2004. On September 15, 2000, we granted Mr. Pagano stock options to purchase an
aggregate of 200,000 shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share, of which
options to purchase 66,000 shares of our common stock expire on September 15,
2005 and options to purchase 134,000 shares of our common stock expire on
September 15, 2010. The options vest in four equal annual installments
commencing on September 15, 2001. In March 2001, we increased Mr. Pagano's
annual base compensation to $175,000.

         In connection with the merger of CMT, we assumed the employment
agreement with Thomas Livelli, pursuant to which Mr. Livelli served as President
and Chief Executive Officer of CMT through May 22, 2001. As of May 23, 2001, we
entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Livelli to serve in the same
capacity until the earlier of May 22, 2006 or the two year anniversary of "a
change in control" (as such term is defined in the employment agreement). The
employment agreement provides for an annual base compensation of $150,000, with
automatic cost of living adjustments on each one year anniversary of the
agreement. Mr. Livelli is also entitled to participate in CMT's bonus plan,
which is based on CMT's net profits and allocated each year by the Board of
Directors. Mr. Livelli's agreement provides that his bonus shall be at least
$20,000 for each full fiscal year of employment. If such bonus payment exceeds
Mr. Livelli's allocated bonus under the plan, the excess shall be credited
against any future allocated bonuses in excess of $20,000. The employment
agreement provides for Mr. Livelli's employment on a full-time basis and
contains a provision that the employee will not compete with us during the term
of the employment agreement and for a period of two years thereafter. Pursuant
to the employment agreement, we granted Mr. Livelli stock options to purchase
25,000 shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share, which options expire on
May 22, 2011. The options vest in five equal annual installments commencing on
January 1, 2002.

         We do not have an employment agreement with Fredrick B. Rolff.

Director Compensation

         Directors receive no cash compensation for serving on the Board of
Directors or for attending Board or Committee meetings (if any). We reimburse
directors for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attending board
meetings. Non-employee directors are eligible to be granted non-qualified stock
options under our 2000 Performance Equity Plan. Nonqualified stock options may
be exercised for up to 10 years from the date of grant at such exercise prices
as the Board of Directors may determine.


Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

         Our compensation committee is comprised of Frederick R. Adler and Joel
Pearlberg. Neither of these individuals served as officers of ours or of our
subsidiaries.

         At the time of the CMT Merger, there were loans outstanding from CMT to
six of its shareholders, in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, as
evidenced by promissory notes from CMT to each such shareholder. Mr. Adler was
among these shareholders and, at the time of the CMT Merger, held a promissory
note in the principal amount of $112,500. The promissory note bears 5% simple
interest, payable at maturity, and had an original due date of July 14, 2002. As
a result of the CMT merger, the above loans' maturity dates were accelerated to
May 1, 2000. During 1999, the stockholders agreed to extend the above loans'
maturity date to May 1, 2001. In July 2001, the stockholders agreed to extend
the maturity date of the loans until September 1, 2001 under the existing terms
of the loans. On September 1, 2001 CMT repaid principal and interest of $603,125
to retire the loans.

(2)      Includes (a) 217,000 stock options granted by the board of directors as
         of May 14, 1996 under our 1990 Stock Option Plan having an exercise
         price of $1.625 per share, which options are currently exercisable and,
         as amended, expire April 30, 2004 and (b) 50,000 stock options granted
         by the board of directors as of September 15, 2000 under our 2000
         Performance Equity Plan having an exercise price of $9.00 per share.
         These options were part of an aggregate grant of 200,000 options at
         $9.00 per share, of which options to purchase 66,000 shares of our
         common stock expire on September 15, 2005 and options to purchase
         134,000 shares of our common stock expire on September 15, 2010. The
         options vest in four equal annual installments commencing on September
         15, 2001.


Stock Plans

         We have two stock option plans: the 1990 Stock Option Plan and the 2000
Performance Equity Plan. We are no longer able to grant options under the 1990
plan. The 2000 plan provides for grants of options to purchase up to 2,000,000
shares of common stock. Under the 2000 plan, we may grant options to employees,
directors, consultants, agents and other persons that we deem to be valuable to
our company or any of our subsidiaries. The 2000 plan permits our board of
directors or a stock option committee to issue incentive stock options, as
defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code), and stock options
that do not conform to the requirements of that Code section. The exercise price
of each incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market
value of the common stock at the time of grant, except that in the case of a
grant to an employee who owns (within the meaning of Code Section 422) 10% or
more of our outstanding stock or that of any of our subsidiaries, the exercise
price may not be less than 110% of such fair market value. The exercise price of
each non-incentive stock option also may not be less than 100% of the fair
market value of the common stock at the time of grant.

         Options that have been granted under the 1990 plan may not be exercised
prior to the first anniversary, or on or after the tenth anniversary, or fifth
anniversary in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a 10%
stockholder, of their grant. These options may not be transferred during the
lifetime of the option holder.

         Under the 2000 plan, the Board of Directors may award stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock reload options and
other stock-based awards in addition to stock options. The 2000 plan is
administered by the Board of Directors and may be administered by a committee
chosen by the board of directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plans, the
Board of Directors or such committee have the authority to determine the
individuals to whom the stock options are to be granted, the number of shares to
be covered by each option, the option price, the type of option, the option
period, the restrictions, if any, on the exercise of the option, the terms for
the payment of the option price and other terms and conditions. Under the 2000
plan, no more than 200,000 shares in the aggregate may be granted to any one
holder in any one calendar year.

         At December 31, 2001, options to purchase an aggregate of 305,450 and
1,051,800 shares of our common stock were outstanding under the 1990 plan and
2000 plan, respectively.

         We have also granted from time to time non-plan options and warrants to
certain officers, employees and consultants. Non-plan options and warrants to
purchase an aggregate of 312,810 shares of our common stock were outstanding at
December 31, 2001.

(1)      In connection with a private placement which we consummated in November
         2000, we issued a warrant to Mr. Theodore M. Serure to purchase 44,810
         shares of our common stock as compensation for introducing to us
         investors who purchased shares of common stock in the private
         placement. The holder may exercise the warrant at $6.00 per share until
         November 21, 2005. The exercise price and the number of shares of
         common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrant are subject to
         adjustment in some circumstances including a stock dividend,
         recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the
         warrant is not subject to adjustment for issuance of common stock at a
         price below the exercise price of the warrant.

         On July 7, 1998, we granted to Dr. Paul Marks a non-plan option to
purchase 18,000 shares of our common stock as compensation for scientific
consulting provided to CMT. Dr. Marks may exercise the option at $2.00 per share
until July 9, 2002.

         On January 16, 1998, we granted to Frederick Adler and Richard Axel
options to purchase 150,000 and 100,000 shares of our common stock,
respectively, at an exercise price at $0.75 per share until January 16, 2002.
Both Mr. Adler and Mr. Axel exercised all of these options in January 2002. The
options were issued to Mr. Adler for serving as a director for the Company. Mr.
Axel's options were issued as compensation for acting as a consultant to the
Company.

         The warrant and the non-plan options are the only equity compensation
"plans" not approved by our shareholders.

(1)      Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 under
         the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and includes all outstanding shares
         of common stock owned by the holder plus, for each person or group, any
         shares of common stock that the person or the group has the right to
         acquire within 60 days pursuant to options, warrants, conversion
         privileges or other rights. Except as otherwise indicated, all of the
         shares of common stock are owned of record and beneficially and the
         persons identified have sole voting and investment power with respect
         thereto.

(2)      Includes (i) 25,000 shares of common stock held of record by the Joseph
         K. Pagano, Jr. Trust established for Mr. Pagano's son, and (ii) 267,000
         shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of options. Excludes
         options to purchase up to 150,000 shares of common stock.

(3)      These shares of common stock are held by the Frederick R. Adler
         Intangible Asset Management Trust of which Mr. Adler is the settlor and
         beneficiary. Does not include 1,124,859 shares of common stock over
         which Mr. Adler is trustee pursuant to a voting trust among us, D.H.
         Blair Investment Banking Corp. and Mr. Adler. The voting trust
         agreement provides that Mr. Adler will vote those shares in the same
         manner as the public, on a proportionate basis, excluding the votes of
         our officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders.
         However, with respect to a vote or consent in connection with either a
         "Rule 13e-3 Transaction" (as defined in Rule 13e-3 promulgated under
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934) or a transaction in which stockholders
         are afforded appraisal rights under Section 262 of the Delaware General
         Corporation Law, Mr. Adler will vote these shares as directed D. H.
         Blair, or by the actual holders of the shares.

         Banking Corp. The amount reported includes 10,000 shares owned by Mr.
         Davis' wife of which Mr. Davis disclaims beneficial ownership. The
         information with respect to D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp. and J.
         Morton Davis is based upon the Schedule 13G/A, dated May 23, 2001,
         filed by such persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All
         the shares beneficially owned by D.H. Blair Investment Banking Corp.
         have been placed in trust, pursuant to the trust agreement described in
         footnote 3. The voting trust agreement does not limit D. H. Blair's
         ability to make public sales of the shares in the open market pursuant
         to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933
         or pursuant to Rule 144 thereunder or to make private sales of the
         shares pursuant to Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933,
         provided, however, that shares sold in private sales will continue to
         be subject to the voting trust agreement until certain conditions are
         met. In addition, D.H. Blair agreed that, during the term of the voting
         trust agreement, it will not acquire additional shares of our common
         stock or other securities convertible into our common stock.

(8)      Includes 302,000 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
         options. Excludes options to purchase 210,000 shares of common stock.


ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         At the time of the CMT Merger, there were loans outstanding from CMT to
six of its shareholders, in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, as
evidenced by promissory notes from CMT to each such shareholder. Messrs. Pagano
and Adler were among these shareholders and, at the time of the CMT Merger, held
promissory notes in the principal amounts of $218,333 and $112,500,
respectively. The promissory notes bear 5% simple interest, payable at maturity,
and had an original due date of July 14, 2002. As a result of the CMT merger,
the above loans' maturity dates were accelerated to May 1, 2000. During 1999,
the stockholders agreed to extend the above loans' maturity date to May 1, 2001.
In July 2001, the stockholders agreed to extend the maturity date of the loans
until September 1, 2001 under the existing terms of the loans. On September 1,
2001 CMT repaid principal and interest of $603,125 to retire the loans.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Sentigen Holding Corp. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sentigen Holding
Corp. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2001, and the related
consolidated statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for
the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. The consolidated financial statements
of the Company as of December 31, 2000 and for the years ended December 31, 2000
and 1999 were audited by other auditors whose report, dated February 16, 2001,
expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and
significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,
2001, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.

SENTIGEN HOLDING CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements     December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       Organization of the Company and Nature of its Operations

         We are a holding company conducting business through two wholly-owned
operating subsidiaries, Cell & Molecular Technologies, Inc. (CMT) and Sentigen
Corp. CMT is comprised of a service organization that provides contract research
and development (R&D) services, and a products organization that provides cell
culture media, reagents and other research products to companies engaged in the
drug discovery process. Sentigen Corp. is involved in scientific research to
develop environmentally sound approaches to prevent insect crop damage and the
spread of human diseases by impacting insect behavior.

         CMT operates through two divisions -- Molecular Cell Science (MCS) and
Specialty Media (SM). MCS provides contract R&D services and High Throughput
Screening (HTS) applications and services to companies engaged in the drug
discovery process. SM develops, manufactures, markets and sells specialty cell
culture media, reagents and other research products.

         The operations of Sentigen Corp. are reflected as research and
development expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. Sentigen
Corp's operations, since its inception in February 2000, consist entirely of
research and development.

         We were incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in May
1990 and, after having engaged in the acquisition and operation of different
business entities subsequent to our initial public offering in August 1990, we
commenced our current business operations when we acquired CMT by a reverse
merger in May 1998. CMT was incorporated in May 1997 to acquire all of the
outstanding stock of Specialty Media, Inc. and Molecular Cell Science, Inc., two
entities operating in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries since 1987
and 1991, respectively. Sentigen Corp. was formed on February 16, 2000. We
changed our name to Sentigen Holding Corp. on June 23, 2000. On January 9, 2002,
our common stock began trading on The Nasdaq SmallCap Market under the symbol
SGHL.

2.       Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

         a.       Principles of Consolidation - The consolidated financial
                  statements include the accounts of Sentigen Holding Corp. and
                  its wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all
                  intercompany accounts and transactions.

         b.       Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include
                  liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at
                  the time of purchase.

         c.       Investment Securities - Investment securities consist of U.S.
                  Treasury Notes. All investment securities are defined as
                  held-to-maturity under the provisions of Statement of
                  Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for
                  Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" and, as
                  such, have been reported at amortized cost.

         d.       Inventory - Inventory, consisting of cell culture media,
                  reagents and related packaging material for the SM division,
                  is stated at the lower of cost or market. We use the FIFO
                  (first-in, first-out) method for inventory accounting.

         e.       Property, Plant and Equipment - Property, plant and equipment
                  are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on both
                  straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated
                  useful lives of the assets, which range from three to forty
                  years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided on
                  the straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated
                  useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term. Repairs
                  and maintenance, which do not extend the useful lives of the
                  related assets, are expensed as incurred.

                                      F-7
<page>

         f.       License and Deferred Cost - License costs are amortized over
                  17 years on a straight line basis and result from our
                  exclusive licensing agreement with the Trustees of Columbia
                  University (See Note 6). Deferred financing costs were
                  incurred in connection with the various loan financings
                  received by the company (See Note 9). Deferred financing costs
                  are amortized on a straight-line basis over the duration of
                  the related loan.

         g.       Impairment - We review intangible and long-lived assets for
                  impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
                  indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be
                  fully recoverable. A review for impairment includes comparing
                  the carrying value of an asset to an estimate of the
                  undiscounted net future cash inflows over the life of the
                  asset. An asset is considered to be impaired when the carrying
                  value exceeds the calculation of the undiscounted net future
                  cash inflows or fair market value. An impairment loss is
                  defined as the amount of the excess of the carrying value over
                  the fair market value of the asset. We believe none of our
                  intangible and long-lived assets are impaired as of December
                  31, 2001.

         h.       Revenue Recognition - We record revenue from fixed-price
                  contracts extending over more than one accounting period on a
                  percentage-of-completion basis. Percentage-of- completion is
                  determined based on the proportion of completed costs to total
                  anticipated costs on each contract. If it is determined that a
                  loss will result from the performance of a contract, the
                  entire amount of estimated loss is charged against income in
                  the period in which the determination is made. In general,
                  prerequisites for billings are established by contractual
                  provisions including predetermined payment schedules, the
                  achievement of contract milestones or submission of
                  appropriate billing detail. Unbilled services arise when
                  services have been rendered but clients have not been billed.
                  Similarly, unearned revenue represents amounts billed in
                  excess of revenue recognized.

         i.       Research and Development Costs - Research and development
                  costs are expensed as incurred. The activities of Sentigen
                  Corp. have been entirely accounted for as research and
                  development costs. Total expenditures on research and
                  development for 2001, 2000 and 1999 including research costs
                  reimbursed under NIH funded grants (See Note 7) were
                  $1,247,072, $690,026, and $309,997, respectively.

         j.       Research Grants - We are engaged in research and development
                  activities under grant from the National Institute of Health
                  (NIH). The research expenses incurred under the grants were
                  exactly offset by the cash received under the grants. This
                  activity is not recorded in the consolidated statements of
                  operations as it is a reimbursement of amounts passed through
                  to sub-recipients (See Note 7).

         k.       Income Taxes - We account for certain income and expense items
                  differently for financial reporting and income tax purposes.
                  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on
                  the difference between the financial statement and income tax
                  basis of assets and liabilities and the tax effect of net
                  operating loss and tax credit carryforwards applying the
                  enacted statutory tax rates in effect for the year in which
                  the differences are expected to reverse.

         l.       Advertising Costs - All costs relating to advertising and
                  marketing are expensed in the period incurred. Advertising
                  costs during 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $213,942, $111,001, and
                  $59,539, respectively.

         m.       Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in
                  conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
                  requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
                  affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
                  disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates
                  of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
                  revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual
                  results could differ from those estimates.

         n.       Earnings Per Share - The accompanying financial statements
                  include earnings per share calculated as required by Financial
                  Accounting Standards No. 128 "Earnings Per Share" which
                  replaced the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings
                  per share with basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic
                  earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income
                  by the weighted average number of shares of common stock
                  outstanding. Diluted earnings per share include the effects of
                  securities convertible into common stock, consisting of stock
                  options, to the extent such conversion would be dilutive.
                  Potential common stock was excluded from the computation for
                  the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000 because of their
                  anti-dilutive effect. The following is a computation of the
                  weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended
                  December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999:

         o.       Stock-Based Compensation - Statement of Financial Accounting
                  Standards No. 123 "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation",
                  encourages, but does not require companies to record
                  compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans
                  at fair value. We continue to account for stock-based
                  compensation to employees using the intrinsic value method
                  prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
                  "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees". APB No. 25
                  requires no recognition of compensation expense for the
                  stock-based compensation arrangements provided by the Company
                  where the exercise price is equal to the market price at the
                  date of the grants. Options issued to non-employees are valued
                  at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair
                  value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more
                  reliably measurable. The expense for options issued to
                  non-employees is recorded as stock based compensation in our
                  consolidated statements of operations.

         p.       Segments - The accompanying financial statements include
                  segment disclosure as required by Financial Accounting
                  Standards No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
                  and Related Information," which expands and modifies
                  disclosures but has no impact on consolidated financial
                  position or results of operations or cash flows. Our
                  reportable operating segments are: MCS, SM and Sentigen Corp.

         q.       Reclassification - Certain amounts from the prior years have
                  been reclassified to conform to the current year's
                  presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on
                  previously reported (loss) or income.

         r.       New Accounting Pronouncements - In June 2001, the Financial
                  Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
                  Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations" (SFAS
                  141). This standard eliminates the pooling method of
                  accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30,
                  2001 and addresses the accounting for intangible assets and
                  goodwill acquired in a business combination. We do not expect
                  SFAS 141 to have a material effect on our financial position
                  or results of operations.

                  In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
                  Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill
                  and Intangible Assets" (SFAS 142), which revises the
                  accounting for purchased goodwill and intangible assets. Under
                  SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives
                  will no longer be amortized, but will be tested for impairment
                  annually or in the event of an impairment indicator. SFAS 142
                  is effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15,
                  2001. We do not expect SFAS 142 to have a material effect on
                  our financial position or results of operations.

                  In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
                  issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,
                  "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" (SFAS 142). The
                  standard requires entities to record the fair value of a
                  liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in
                  which it is incurred. SFAS 143 is effective for all fiscal
                  years beginning after June 15, 2002. We do not expect SFAS 143
                  to have a material effect on our financial position or results
                  of operations.

                  In October 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
                  issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,
                  "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
                  Assets" (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 replaces SFAS 121, "Accounting
                  for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
                  Assets to Be Disposed Of". SFAS 144 requires that long-lived
                  assets be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair
                  value less cost to sell, whether reported in continuing
                  operations or discontinued operations. Therefore, discontinued
                  operations will no longer be measured at net realizable value
                  or include amounts for operating losses that have not yet
                  occurred. SFAS 144 also broadens the reporting of discontinued
                  operations to include all components of an entity with
                  operations that can be distinguished from the rest of the
                  entity and that will be eliminated from the ongoing operations
                  of their entity in a disposal transaction. SFAS 144 is
                  effective for all fiscal years beginning after December 15,
                  2001. We do not expect SFAS 144 to have a material effect on
                  our financial position or results of operations.

6.       Exclusive License Agreement

         On April 10, 2000, Sentigen Corp. entered into a license agreement with
Columbia University (Columbia) for an exclusive worldwide right to Columbia's
patent applications and other proprietary rights in the areas of insect
chemosensation and olfaction. One provision of the license agreement requires us
to contribute a minimum of $1,000,000 into Sentigen Corp. within one year of the
date of the license agreement (by April 2001) or be involved in active
negotiations to raise $1,000,000 in additional funding. We satisfied this
provision through the consummation of our private placement in November 2000
where we raised aggregate proceeds of $5,183,004.

         Another provision of the license agreement requires us to spend a
minimum of $50,000 per six month period or $100,000 per annual period on bona
fide research and development of the patents and licenses. This provision is
applicable from the second (April 2002) through the fourth years (April 2004) of
the license agreement. If we do not meet this provision we must be involved in
active negotiations to raise $1,000,000 in additional funding. We satisfied this
provision through April 2002 (the fiscal year of the license agreement).

         In consideration of the license agreement, Columbia was issued 75,000
shares of our stock and will receive royalties of 1% of the net sales of any
licensed products or services.

         The value of this license agreement is recorded as license costs, net
of accumulated amortization on our consolidated balance sheet. The value of the
license reflects the closing share price of our common stock on April
10, 2000.

7.       Research Grants

         The SM division, in collaboration with Harvard University, is the
recipient of an NIH Federal Phase II Grant in the amount of $757,532. The
research performed under this grant originally covered the period from July 1998
through August 2001, but was extended through March 2002.

         The MCS division, in collaboration with The University of Alabama, is
the recipient of an NIH Federal Phase I Grant in the amount of $100,270. The
work performed under this grant covered the period from June 1999 to May 2000.

         For the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 research expenses
incurred were exactly offset by the cash received under the grants. This
activity is not recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as it is a
reimbursement of amounts passed through to subrecipients. The amounts received
and expended are as follows:

8.       Retirement Plan

         During 1999, we adopted a 401(k) retirement plan for all eligible
employees who meet certain eligibility criteria such as age, term of employment,
etc. Eligible employees may elect to contribute to the plan a portion of their
gross salary (subject to federal tax law). Our Company does not make matching
contributions to the plan.

10.      Stockholder Loans

         Five stockholders and one of their related parties advanced $500,000,
in aggregate, to CMT during 1997. The promissory notes bear 5% simple interest,
payable at maturity, and had an original due date of July 14, 2002. As the
promissory notes bear a below market rate of interest, additional interest was
imputed on the notes to approximate our current available financing rate of 10%.

         During 1999, the stockholders agreed to extend the above loans'
maturity date to May 1, 2001. The imputed interest has been adjusted as a result
of the maturity date extension thereby increasing the discount by $18,694. This
amount was added to additional paid-in capital as an adjustment to the original
$120,199 (as adjusted by $58,909 in 1998) credited to additional paid-in capital
in 1997, which related to the purchase of stock.

         In July 2001, the stockholders agreed to extend the maturity date of
the loans until September 1, 2001 under the existing terms of the loans. On
September 1, 2001 CMT repaid principal and interest of $603,125 to retire the
loans.

11.      Commitments

         In May, 1997, we entered into an employment agreement with Thomas
Livelli, a Director and CMT's President/CEO. The employment agreement is for an
initial term of three years at an annual base compensation of $135,000 and
contains a provision for an automatic one-year extension, unless written notice
is received by either party. As of May 23, 2001, we entered into a new
employment agreement with Mr. Livelli to serve in the same capacity until the
earlier of May 22, 2006 or the two year anniversary of "a change in control" (as
such term is defined in the employment agreement). The employment agreement
provides for an annual base compensation of $150,000, with automatic cost of
living adjustments on each one year anniversary of the agreement. Mr. Livelli is
also entitled to participate in the CMT's bonus plan, which is based on CMT's
net profits and allocated each year by the Board of Directors. Mr. Livelli's
agreement provides that his bonus shall be at least $20,000 for each full fiscal
year of employment. If such bonus payment exceeds Mr. Livelli's allocated bonus
under the plan, the excess shall be credited against any future allocated
bonuses in excess of $20,000. The employment agreement provides for Mr.
Livelli's employment on a full-time basis and contains a provision that the
employee will not compete with us during the term of the employment agreement
and for a period of two years thereafter. Pursuant to the employment agreement,
we granted Mr. Livelli stock options to purchase 25,000 shares of our common
stock at $9.00 per share, which options expire on May 22, 2011. The options vest
in five equal annual installments commencing on January 1, 2002.

         In May, 1999, we entered into an employment agreement with Joseph K.
Pagano ("Pagano") to serve as our president. This replaces the consulting
agreement that we had with Pagano which was terminated at the same time. The
agreement is for an initial term of one year at an annual base compensation of
$85,000 and contains a provision for an automatic one-year extension. This
agreement was extended to May 2001. In March 2001 we increased Mr. Pagano's
annual base compensation to $175,000.

         In connection with the 1999 employment agreement, the termination date
of 217,000 options previously granted to Pagano under the Company's 1990 Stock
Option Plan were extended an additional three years to May 24, 2004. In
accordance with SFAS 123, the additional compensation recognized as of the
modification date, if the Company had accounted for its stock option plans under
the fair value method, would have been $45,570, which was estimated using the
Black- Scholes pricing model, with the following weighted average assumptions:

                                           Before            After

         On September 15, 2000, we granted Mr. Pagano stock options to purchase
an aggregate of 200,000 shares of our common stock at $9.00 per share, of which
options to purchase 66,000 shares of our common stock expire on September 15,
2005 and options to purchase 134,000 shares of our common stock expire on
September 15, 2010. The options vest in four equal annual installments
commencing on September 15, 2001.


12.      Leases

         Lease commitments consist primarily of leases on laboratory and office
facilities under operating lease agreements. We have also entered into various
operating leases for administrative office equipment which are not considered
material.

         We lease approximately 980 square feet of administrative office space
for use by the Board of Directors and Executive Officers of our Company at 434
East Cooper Street, Aspen, Colorado 81611. Rental expense for this property was
$36,492, $32,929 and $28,652 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and

         CMT leased approximately 750 square feet of administrative office space
at 445 Marshall Street, Phillipsburg, New Jersey 08865. We lease this property

This lease was terminated on December 31, 2001.

         In May 2000, Sentigen Corp. acquired a lease to use laboratory space at
3960 Broadway, New York, New York, 10032. In June, 2001, we acquired additional
administrative space at this same location. Total rental expense for this

and 1999, respectively. The lease expires on April 30, 2002 with the option to
renew for 2 additional years.

         In March 2001, CMT signed a 3-year lease for approximately 3,000 square
feet of laboratory space at 418 Industrial Drive, North Wales, PA 19454. This
space is to accommodate growth opportunities for CMT's HTS applications and
assay development services. Rental expense for this property was $13,500, $0 and
$0 for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         The estimated future minimum rental payments under operating type
leases over the next three years are as follows:

For the year ending December 31,       2002                      $     320,376

13.      Income Taxes

         Deferred taxes reflect the tax effects of temporary differences between
the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and the amounts
recognized for income tax purposes as well as the tax effects of net operating
loss (NOL) and tax credit carryforwards. The significant components of net
deferred tax assets are as follows:

                                                          December 31,

         We believe that it is more likely than not, that the deferred tax
assets will not be realized and have therefore, provided a valuation allowance
for the entire balance.

         There was no current or deferred federal income tax provision for the
years ended December 31, 2001, 2000, and 1999. The provision for income taxes
differs from the amount using the statutory federal income tax rate (34%) as
follows:

         The Company uses estimates of remaining costs to complete each contract
to determine the revenue and profitability on each contract. The estimates are
reevaluated periodically and, as such, reevaluations may, in the future, lead to
changes in the rate of profitability on each contract. There were no contracts
where the expected costs exceeded the contract price. All contract receivables
are due within one year.


15.      Stock Option Plan

         The 1990 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") provides for the granting of
either stock options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under the
Internal Revenue Code or non-statutory stock options for up to an aggregate of
1,000,000 shares of common stock. Options may be granted for terms of up to ten
years and are exercisable as determined by the Company's Board of Directors at
the date of the respective option grant. The option price under the plan must be
no less than fair market value of the shares on the date of grant, except that
the term of an incentive stock option granted under the Plan to a stockholder
owning more than 10% of the outstanding common stock may not exceed five years
and its exercise price may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the
common stock on the date of the grant.

         During the year ended December 31, 2000 we adopted the 2000 Performance
Equity Plan (the "Performance Equity Plan") which provides for grants and
options to purchase up to 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock. Under the
Performance Equity Plan, options may be granted to employees, directors,
consultants, agents and other persons deemed valuable to the Company or any of
its subsidiaries. The Performance Equity Plan permits our Board of Directors or
the Committee of the Performance Equity Plan to issue incentive stock options
(ISO's) as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and
stock options that do not conform to the requirements of that code section
("non-ISOs"). The exercise price of each ISO may not be less than 100% of the
fair market value of the Common Stock at the time of grant, except that in the
case of a grant to an employee who owns (within the meaning of Code Section 422)
10% or more of the outstanding stock of our Company or any subsidiary (a "10%
stockholder"), the exercise price may not be less than 110% of the market value
of the Common Stock at the time of grant.

                                      F-18

         Under the Performance Equity Plan, the committee may award stock
appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock reload options and
other stock-based awards in addition to stock options. The Performance Equity
Plan is administered by the Board of Directors and may be administered by a
committee chosen by the Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the
Performance Equity Plan, the Board of Directors or such Committee, as
applicable, have the authority to determine the individuals to whom the stock
options are to be granted, the number of shares to be covered by each option,
the option price, the type of option, the option period, the restrictions, if
any, on the exercise of the option, the terms for the payment of the option
price and other terms and conditions. No more than 200,000 shares in the
aggregate may be granted to any one holder in any one calendar year under the
Performance Equity Plan.

         The pro forma information required by SFAS 123 regarding net income and
earnings per share has been presented as if we had accounted for our stock
option plans under the fair value method. The fair value of each option grant is
estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model with
the following weighted average assumptions:

                                2001          2000         1999
                                -----         ----         ----
Assumptions:
   Expected life of options    5 years      5 years       5 years
   Risk free interest rate      5.5%          6.0%         5.0%
   Volatility of stock          197%          162%         172%
   Expected dividend yield       0%            0%           0%

         The per share weighted average fair value of the options granted during
2001, 2000 and 1999 was $5.39 and $5.75 and $0.95, respectively. Had the fair
value of the options been amortized to expense over the related service period,
the pro forma impact on earnings of the stock-based compensation for the options
under the provision would have been as follows:


                                  2001          2000        1999
                                  -----         ----        ----
Net Income (Loss):
     As reported                $ (647,589)   $(126,715)    $ 641,114
     Pro forma                  $ (884,369)   $(333,041)    $ 540,514

Diluted Earnings Per Share:
     As reported                  $  (0.09)    $  (0.02)     $   0.10
     Pro forma                    $  (0.12)    $  (0.05)     $   0.08

         In accordance with SFAS 123, the weighted average fair value of stock
options granted is required to be based on a theoretical statistical model using
the preceding assumptions. In actuality, our stock options do not trade on a
secondary exchange and, therefore, the employees and directors cannot derive any
benefit from holding the stock options under these plans without an increase in
the market price of our stock. Such an increase in stock price would benefit all
stockholders commensurately. As discussed in Note 11, we extended the
termination date of options previously granted to our President.

         In addition to the options granted to employees, we granted 50,000,
345,000 and 0 options to consultants during the years ended December 31, 2001,
2000 and 1999 respectively. Consultants are retained under consulting agreements
and are not considered employees of our Company. We recognized non-cash
stock-based compensation cost of $73,146 and $213,729 and $0 during the years
ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999 respectively, based on the fair value of
the options issued, amortized over the respective consulting periods. On
December 3, 2001 we amended the consulting agreements of all but one consultant
to provide that the remaining unvested options will vest based on the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors. According to the provisions of SFAS 123 we
recognized non-cash stock-based compensation for the vested option awards over
the service periods of the consulting agreements. Non-cash stock-based
compensation will be recognized for the unvested options in the period that the
options actually vest.

16.      Segment Information

         We operate through two wholly owned subsidiaries, CMT and Sentigen
Corp. CMT is evaluated on the performance of its two divisions, MCS and SM.
Sentigen Corp. was formed in February 2000 and is engaged in research and
development. We consider MCS, SM and Sentigen Corp. as our three separate and
distinct reportable operating segments. The accounting policies of the segments
are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting
policies. We account for inter- segment sales and transfers, if any, as if the
transactions were to third parties, that is at current market prices.

         Our reportable operating segments are separate and distinct strategic
business units that offer different products and services and are managed
separately because each business requires different technologies and marketing
strategies.

         Net accounts receivable includes billed accounts receivable and
unbilled services less unearned revenue.

         Financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk
consist primarily of cash and trade accounts receivable. We hold our cash at
high credit quality institutions. At times, balances may be in excess of the
FDIC insurance limit. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of
its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade accounts receivable
credit risk exposure is limited.

18.      Private Placement

         In November 2000, we consummated a private offering in which we sold
863,834 shares of our common stock, at $6.00 per share, for aggregate gross
proceeds of $5,183,044. The proceeds net of professional fees which were
directly incurred in connection with this transaction, were $5,152,714.

         In connection with the private placement, we also issued warrants to
Mr. Theodore M. Serure to purchase 44,810 shares of our common stock as
compensation for introducing us to investors who purchased shares of common
stock in the private placement. The warrant may be exercised at $6.00 per share
until November 21, 2005.
