                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.       ORGANIZATION

         Lark Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was
formed on November 16, 1994, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SuperCorp Inc.
("SuperCorp"), for the purpose of merging with Lark Sequencing Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sequencing"), as outlined in a merger agreement
("Merger Agreement") entered into by SuperCorp and Sequencing on October 28,
1994. SuperCorp approved the Merger Agreement on September 5, 1995 and by the
stockholders of Sequencing on September 12, 1995. As a consequence of the
merger, all of the shares of common and preferred stock of Sequencing were
exchanged for 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a par value
of $0.001 per share and the 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company held
by SuperCorp were distributed to the shareholders of SuperCorp. The Company has
succeeded to all of the business previously undertaken by Sequencing. Lark
provides specialized laboratory services for DNA sequencing to biotechnology
researchers.

2.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been
prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and
regulations. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all
adjustments which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the
results of operations for the interim periods covered and for the financial
condition of the Company at the date of the interim balance sheet. All such
adjustments are of a recurring nature. Results for the interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of results for the year.

         For financial reporting purposes, the merger of the Company and
Sequencing has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Sequencing, and the
historical financial statements of Sequencing prior to the merger became the
financial statements of the Company.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards No.133, Accounting for Derivative Financial
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No.133"). SFAS No.133 requires that
all derivatives be recognized as assets and liabilities and measured at fair
value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on
the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. SFAS No.133,
as amended, is effective for the fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 and
early adoption is permitted. Because of the Company's minimal use of
derivatives, management does not anticipate that the adoption of SFAS No.133
will have a significant effect on net income or the financial position of the
Company.

3.       INVENTORY

         Finished goods inventory consists of the direct and indirect costs to
produce quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) assays held for resale. At
March 31, 2001 finished goods inventory was $149,656.

         Work in process inventory includes the direct and indirect costs
associated with projects that had been started but not yet completed at March
31, 2001. Direct costs include such items as the cost of labor, reagents and
supplies directly associated with each project. Indirect costs include such
items as general supplies, laboratory management, depreciation, and costs to
operate the lab. These costs are applied to each project on the basis of direct
labor hours incurred for the project, up to the point of measurement, such as
the end of an accounting period. At March 31, 2001, work in process inventory
was $192,919.

4.       NOTES PAYABLE

         On December 7, 2000, the Company renewed its revolving line of credit
and extended the maturity to December 31, 2001. Under the terms of its revolving
line, the Company may borrow up to $600,000 at the bank's prime rate (8.0% at
March 31, 2001) plus 2%. The borrowing base of this line of credit is equal to
80% of certain accounts receivable that are no more than 90 days old. On March
31, 2001 the Company had $323,956 outstanding under this line. Under the terms
of the revolving line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain
certain financial ratios and a specific level of net worth. As of March 31,
2001, the Company was not in compliance with some of the required financial
ratios and has obtained a statement from the bank waiving the missed
requirements until July 15, 2001. The bank has placed a restriction on further
advances on the line during the term of the waiver. Management believes the
Company will be in compliance with the required financial ratios on or before
July 15, 2001.

         On March 13, 1998, the Company arranged an advised discretionary credit
line for the financing of equipment with the same bank used for the line of
credit described above. Under the terms of this discretionary credit, the
Company was able to borrow up to $600,000 secured by the equipment purchased
with the proceeds of the borrowings. This discretionary credit line provided for
the borrowings of up to 75% of the purchase price of equipment at the bank's
prime plus 1.5%. This credit line provided for repayment terms up to 36 months
and matured on May 31, 1999. On January 5, 1999, the Company borrowed $22,000
against this line of credit for the purchase of lab equipment. As of As of March
31, 2001, a balance of $6,111 remained on this loan.

         During January 2001, the company arranged an advance term loan facility
to finance the purchase of various pieces of lab equipment with the same bank
that provided the revolving line of credit. On February 26, 2001 the company
borrowed $92,000 under this facility. On that same day, the advance line feature
of this loan converted to a fixed facility requiring monthly payments over a 36
month period at the bank's prime rate plus 2%.

         On March 29, 2001, the Company entered into a capital lease for the
purchase of two additional automated DNA sequencers that cost approximately
$263,000. Under the terms of the 36 months lease, the Company may purchase this
equipment for a nominal amount at the end of the lease.

5.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding
for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

         Options to purchase 293,874 and 293,874 shares of common stock were
outstanding during 2000 and 2001 respectively, but were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be
antidilutive.

6.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Stock Options and Warrants

         During the quarter, options to purchase 1,000 shares of common stock
were exercised at various prices, ranging from $.72 to $.74 per share. None of
the 75,000 outstanding warrants were exercised during the quarter.

Patent License Agreement

         Effective June 15, 1995, the Company entered into an exclusive patent
sub-license agreement with another biotech company. The agreement grants to the
Company an exclusive license to certain "Licensed Patent Rights" of this third
party and requires the Company to perform research and development efforts as
defined in the agreement. The Company is required to pay the third party a
royalty of 25% to 50% of all consideration the Company receives as a result of
sales of licensed products and licensed processes or a sub-license or assignment
of the Company's rights under the agreement. If the Company does not meet the
research and development milestones as defined in the agreement, or is unable to
successfully commercialize the results of the research and development efforts,
the agreement will terminate. Otherwise, the agreement will terminate upon the
dissolution of the Company or the expiration of the "Licensed Patent Rights".
The Company may also terminate the agreement with 60 days written notice to the
third party.

Sponsored Research Contract

         On October 6, 1998, the Company announced the restructuring of its
senescence technology development program. Sennes Drug Innovations, Inc., the
Company's licensor for the senescence technology, which originated with a third
party, recently appointed a new president. This appointment was allowed by the
settlement of various technology transfer issues between the third party and
Sennes. This new president will represent the Sennes technologies, including the
senescence gene technology licensed to the Company, to third parties. The
Company's license for senescence technologies remains intact.

         The senescence technology includes genes involved in regulating the
four senescence gene pathways. Senescence is the normal physiological process
that controls cellular immortality. Immortal cells are closely related to cancer
and can add insights into aging and abnormal development.

Commitments and Contingencies

         The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen
in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based on
consultations with counsel and a review of the facts, the ultimate liability to
the Company will not have a material effect on the financial position of the
Company.

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

         The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction
with the Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes herein, and is
qualified entirely by the foregoing and by other more detailed financial
information appearing elsewhere.

GENERAL

         Lark is a leading molecular biology Contract Research Organization
(CRO) providing services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries
worldwide. Lark's service portfolio consists of various DNA sequencing and
molecular biology services as follows:

      o  Automated DNA Sequencing Services. Lark applies automated sequencing
         techniques to generate high throughput DNA sequence and fast turnaround
         screening information, including genome sequencing, shotgun sequencing
         and shotgun library construction services.

      o  Genetic Stability Testing Services. Lark's genetic stability testing
         services are used to characterize Master Cell Banks, Manufacturers'
         Working Cell Banks and PostProduction Cell Samples from bacterial,
         yeast and cell cultures. Genetic stability testing is used to analyze a
         production strain's stability and demonstrate that the expression
         system has not undergone any mutations or rearrangements that would
         affect the integrity of the product. This service assists companies
         producing genetically manufactured products to optimize production
         yields, determine product purity, and support regulatory submissions.
         This service was introduced in late 1996.

      o  Quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Services. Lark uses
         Quantitative PCR techniques to measure the distribution and expression
         of target DNA or RNA in a customer's sample from cultured cells,
         microorganisms, or tissues such as brain, lung, liver, and kidneys.

      o  Array Services. Lark uses automated PCR techniques to produce molecular
         materials used in the construction of biochip arrays.

      o  Molecular Biology Services. Lark offers a variety of molecular biology
         services including library screening, library prescreening, southern
         blot analysis, subcloning, plasmid preparation and PCR amplification.
         Lark consults with its customers to customize a broad range of
         molecular biology projects.

      o  Differential Display Service. Lark uses differential display techniques
         for analyzing differences in gene expression caused by the introduction
         of various drug compounds, viruses or stimulatory factors. Differential
         display can be useful in identifying novel genes and gene functions. By
         understanding how and when a gene is expressed or repressed, targeted
         interventions can be developed to maximize results and minimize harmful
         side effects. This service is used to discover novel genes as well as
         to characterize pharmaceutical effects.

         In 1995 Lark undertook a senescence gene discovery program for its own
account. Although several genes were discovered in this program, lack of gene
functionality coupled with license issues caused Lark to reduce its funding for
this program. Lark continues to work towards license issue resolution and
eventual potential sublicense agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         GROSS REVENUES. Gross revenues increased 1.5% from $1,201,793 to
$1,219,875 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. The increase in revenues for the quarter was due to increases in
the quick turnaround and GMO segments of the Company's current business model.

         COSTS OF SERVICES. Costs of services consist primarily of labor and
laboratory supplies. Costs of services increased 29% from $750,747 to $967,609
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively. Part of
the increase in costs of services was due to the additional variable costs
necessary to produce the additional revenue for the quarter. Another reason for
increased costs was the development costs necessary to enhance the Companies lab
operation. These extra costs were incurred to significantly increase operating
efficiency of lab operations. See variability of future operating results below
for further details Costs of services as a percentage of revenue were 62% and
79% for the three-month periods ending March 31, 2000 and 2001respectively.

         SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Sales, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs,
depreciation, amortization, legal and professional costs, rent, travel, and
advertising. Sales, general and administrative expenses increased 28% from
$443,197 to $565,362 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. The increase resulted from higher sales compensation costs
incurred for additional representatives that were added in the northeastern US
and the UK plus higher advertising expenses to further promote the Company.
Sales, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 37%
and 46% for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001, respectively.

         VARIABILITY OF FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS In 1998, the Company adopted a
new business model that broadened its services and expanded its customer base.
The favorable results reported for the third quarter of 1999 reflected the first
profitable quarter for this business model. That success was continued in the
fourth quarter of 1999 and was interrupted, in the first quarter of 2000, only
by the extra expenses and disruption incurred to relocate the Company to its new
headquarters and lab facility in Houston during January of 2000. The profitable
trend continued into the third quarter of 2000 although earnings were somewhat
lower due to the recruiting expenses explained in the sales, general and
administrative section above. In the first quarter of 2001, the Company began a
reengineering process to significantly enhance productivity in its lab
operations. These enhancements were a combination of process changes made
possible by the addition of new automated equipment. This equipment, which cost
approximately $263,000, is designed to increase operating efficiency and
profitability. The changes made to production methods in the first quarter were
significant and required a considerable amount of development time and cost to
accomplish. These development costs were the principal reason for the higher
than normal cost of services in the first quarter of 2001. These development
costs combined with the additional selling expenses were the main contributors
to the loss sustained in the quarter ended March 31, 2001. Management believes
these changes will enable the Company to significantly increase revenue and
profitability in the future. As the Company continues to grow, it expects to
further automate its processes in order to be even more competitive and to
further increase its market share. The Company continues to seek large contracts
and diversify its customer base.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Operating cash flow was $647,734 and
($130,949) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 2001,
respectively. The negative operating cash flow for the quarter ending March 31,
2001 occurred primarily as a result of the reengineering costs, acquisition of
new equipment and selling costs described in Variability of Future Operating
Results section, located just above.

         On December 7, 2000, the Company renewed its revolving loan facility
through December 31, 2001, and may now borrow up to $600,000 under the terms of
the new credit line.

         During January 2001, the company arranged an advance term loan facility
to finance the purchase of various pieces of lab equipment with the same bank
that provided the revolving line of credit. On February 26, the company borrowed
$92,000 under this facility. On that same day, the advance line feature of this
loan converted to a fixed facility requiring monthly payments over a 36 month
period at the bank's prime rate plus 2%.

         As of March 31, 2001, the Company was not in compliance with some of
the required financial ratios and has obtained a statement from the bank waiving
the missed requirements until July 15, 2001. The bank has placed a

                                       8
<PAGE>   11

restriction on further advances on the line during the term of the waiver.
Management believes the Company will be in compliance with the required
financial ratios on or before July 15, 2001.

         On March 29, 2001, the Company entered into a capital lease for the
purchase of two additional automated DNA sequencers. Under the terms of the 36
months lease, the Company may purchase this equipment for a nominal amount at

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On June 29, 2000 Joel S. Kanter sued the Company in U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division. The Company entered into a
letter of intent with the "Kanter Group" in 1999 providing for Mr. Kanter to
conduct, or invest in, a proposed $1,320,000 private offering of Company stock.
The transaction was not completed by the time specified in the letter of intent
(on or before November 1, 1999) and Mr. Kanter and the Company continued to work
on the offering for a time thereafter. Mr. Kanter alleges the Company did not
allow him to complete the offering and seeks damages for the breach of the
letter of intent and for reliance damages for his expenses following expiration
of the letter of intent. The Company's position is that there was no binding
agreement, that the letter of intent, by its own terms, prevents Kanter from
recovering and that Kanter imposed material conditions to the completion of the
transaction which were not set forth in the letter of intent. The litigation is
in its initial stages of discovery and the Company intends to file a motion for
summary judgment shortly. The Company intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit
and Management believes that it is without merit.
