                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                (Unaudited)

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The statements of operations for the three and nine months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997, the balance sheet as of March 31, 1998,
and the statements of cash flows for the nine months ended March 31,
1998 and 1997, have been prepared by the Company without audit.  In the
opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the
financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31,
1998, and for all periods presented, have been made.  The balance sheet
at June 30, 1997 has been derived from the audited financial statements
as of that date.  All financial information gives retroactive effect to
a change in the number of shares of authorized Common Stock to
10,000,000, an increase in par value to $0.005 per share, and a five-to-
one reverse stock split which was effective at the close of
business on April 17, 1998.

     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested
that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 1997 report
on Form 10-K.

     The Company operates principally in one industry segment, the
testing of pharmaceutical products and related services.  Revenues
include contract revenue and revenue from license fees under special
agreements whereby the Company receives license fees based upon the
clients' actual product sales.
 
ACCOUNTING 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 date of the
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
during the reporting period.  Actual amounts could differ from these
estimates.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 regarding the
computation of earnings per share.  This Statement requires the Company


                                   -6-
</PAGE>

<PAGE>7
to present basic and diluted earnings per share in the financial 
statements.  The Company adopted the requirements of this Standard in the
financial statements for the quarter ended December 31, 1997.  The
Company's Class A Convertible Preferred Stock, outstanding stock options
granted under the Company's stock option plans and other grants outside
of the Company's plans are considered common stock equivalents for the
purpose of the diluted earnings (loss) per share data; however, they are
excluded from the calculations for the three and nine month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 because the effect of their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.  All periods presented have been restated to conform to
the new standard.

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     Private Placement

     On December 23, 1997, the Company received the proceeds from the
sale to investors, including certain affiliates of Aster.Cephac and CAI
Advisors & Co. (collectively, the "Purchasers"), of 833,300 shares of a
newly created Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to
purchase 1,250,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and entered into
a Registration Rights Agreement and Technology Sharing Agreement in
connection therewith.  The securities were sold for an aggregate purchase
price of $5,000,000 in a private placement pursuant to a Preferred Share
and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated as of December 4, 1997.  The
Purchasers beneficially own approximately 41% of the Company's voting
securities without giving effect to the possible exercise of the
warrants, or approximately 54% of the Company's voting securities if all
the warrants are exercised.

     The Agreement provided for the sale to the Purchasers of a total of
833,300 shares of Class A Convertible Preferred Stock for $4,937,500, or
$5.925 per share (the "Preferred Stock").  The Preferred Stock is
convertible at any time into shares of Common Stock at a conversion ratio
of one share of Preferred Stock for two shares of Common Stock.  The
conversion ratio is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances to
prevent dilution.  In the event of the liquidation of the Company, the
holders of the shares of Preferred Stock who do not convert their shares
into Common Stock are entitled to receive $5.925 per share, prior to any
distributions being made to the holders of any other class or series of
the Company's capital stock.

     In addition, the Agreement provided for the sale to the Purchasers,
for $62,500, of warrants to purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock. 
The warrants are fully exercisable at $6.00 per share and expire on
December 23, 2000.  The warrants were not exercisable until the
Company filed with the Maryland State Department of Assessments and
Taxation an amendment of the Company's charter increasing the number of
authorized shares of common stock.  

                                   -7-

<PAGE>8
     Net earnings have been adjusted for the accretion of a preferred
stock dividend to the Purchasers, resulting in a net loss applicable to
common stockholders.  The dividend was computed based on the excess of
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock, into which the
Preferred Stock was convertible at the date of issue, over the purchase
price of the Preferred Stock.  The dividend was recorded for financial
reporting purposes only and was not paid to the Preferred Stockholders. 

     Reverse Stock Split

     On April 6, 1998, the Company's stockholders approved a five-to-one
reverse split of the Company's Common Stock, the change of authorized
shares of the Company's Common Stock to 10,000,000 shares, par value
$.005 per share, and the reduction of capital for payment of fractional
shares and amendment of the Company's Charter in connection therewith.
The reverse split, which became effective at the close of business on
April 17, 1998, did not affect the rights and privileges of holders of
Common Stock, either before or after the reverse split.  The Company had
2,442,654 and 2,439,129 shares outstanding at March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively, giving effect to the reverse stock split as though it had
occurred as of each such date.  The Company will not issue fractional
shares as a result of the split, and each fraction of a share will be
exchanged for cash.  The Company's capital will be reduced by the amount
of cash paid for fractional shares, the total payment of which is
not expected to be material.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company's revenues of $2,722,535 and $9,509,555 for the three
and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998 increased 16.0% and 35.1%,
respectively, from $2,347,072 and $7,039,333 for the same periods in the
prior year. Included in the Company's revenue is license fee income of
$74,639 and $588,698, for the three and nine month periods ended March
31, 1998, compared to $190,995 and $563,908, respectively, for the same
periods of the prior year.  License fee income, based on clients' sales
of approved drugs, will continue through the expiration of the license
fee agreements, one of which expired in October 1997, and another of
which will expire in fiscal 2000.  In addition, the Company began
receiving license fees in November 1996 under a third agreement with
another of its clients which received approval from the FDA to
manufacture and market Sucralfate Tablets.  The client received approval
to market its drug in April 1996 and commenced sales in November 1996. 
The Company expects to receive payments for a minimum of eight years from
the date of approval.  License fee income from sales of this third
product accounted for the increase in license fee income during the nine

                                   -8-

<PAGE>9
month period ended March 31, 1998, notwithstanding a decline in
license fee income from the other two license fee arrangements.  The
Company believes it is unlikely that its clients will wish to utilize
license fee arrangements in the future as compensation for work
performed.  As a result of this trend, contract revenues, rather than
licensing income, will continue to be the primary source of revenues. 

     The increase in the Company's revenues for the three and nine month
periods ended March 31, 1998, compared to the same periods in 1997, 
resulted from the Company's progress in accomplishing its goals to
increase the amount of revenue generated from innovator pharmaceutical
and biotechnology companies, in addition to revenue generated from
contracts with generic companies, the initiation of several clinical
trial management contracts, and the impact of the availability of the
Company's new LC/MS/MS technology.  Third quarter 1998 revenues did not
meet expectations as a result of delays and cancellations by clients of
certain studies because of delays in their drug development program
unrelated to the Company.  While this situation is not atypical for the
Company's business, a renewed focus has been placed on the development of
new business and on generating new business opportunities with our French
partner, Aster.Cephac.

     The Company's gross profit decreased 28.6% to $404,581 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998 and increased 34.2% to $2,479,657 for
the nine month period ended March 31, 1998, compared to $566,946 and
$1,848,346, respectively, for the same periods of the prior year. Gross
profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 14.9% and 26.1% for the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998, compared to 24.2% and
26.3%, respectively, for the same periods of the prior year.  The
decrease in gross margin for the three month period ended March 31, 1998,
reflects the fact that the Company's fixed costs, related to employee
salaries and other operating expenses, increased both to meet the level
of demand for the Company's services in the first two quarters of the
current fiscal year and to accommodate future planned growth.  Staffing
and costs remained at similar levels as revenues decreased in the third
quarter, compared to the first two quarters of fiscal 1998, and license
fee income declined.  While license fee revenues were down 60.9% for the
three month period ended March 31, 1998, due to the cessation of the
Company's first license fee agreement in October 1997, and a decline in
license fees from the Sucralfate product due to increased price
competition, license fee revenue for the nine month period ended March
31, 1998, increased 4.4%. 

     Selling, general and administrative expenses of $493,540 and
$1,724,230 for the three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998,
increased 1.2% and 11.1%, respectively, compared to $487,489 and
$1,551,668, for the same periods of the prior year.  The increase is
primarily attributable to the establishment of an allowance for doubtful
accounts at December 31, 1997, which had the effect of increasing
selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period

</PAGE>                            -9-

<PAGE>10
ended March 31, 1998, by $300,000, notwithstanding a decrease in
expenditures associated with certain vacancies during the 1998 period for
which the Company has recently engaged personnel.

     Research and development expenses of $140,226 and $382,516 for the
three and nine month periods ended March 31, 1998, increased 31.5% and
19.1%, respectively, compared to $106,667 and $321,307 for the same
periods of the prior year, due to increased efforts in the Company's
research and development group related to its LC/MS/MS instrumentation. 
In September 1997, the Company acquired its second LC/MS/MS instrument
for its laboratory and has invested in research and development to bring
the instrument on-line and to develop methods for utilization in future
studies.  The Company believes that these investments will result in the
generation of new business and an improvement in its competitive
position.

     Net earnings have been adjusted for the accretion of a preferred
stock dividend to the Purchasers, resulting in a net loss applicable to
common stockholders.  The dividend was computed based on the excess of 
the fair market value of the Company's Common Stock, into which the
Preferred Stock was convertible at the date of issue, over the purchase
price of the Preferred Stock.  The dividend was recorded for financial
reporting purposes only and was not paid to the Preferred Stockholders. 

     No provision for income taxes has been recorded.  The Company has
available unused operating loss and business tax credit carryforwards,
the benefit of which is reduced by full valuation allowance. 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company's primary source of funds has historically been funds
generated from operations. However, on December 23, 1997, the Company
concluded a transaction in which it sold Class A Convertible Preferred
Stock and Warrants to purchase Common Stock for $5,000,000 in cash, less
$254,113 in transaction costs.  The increase in the cash balances of the
Company of $3,904,106 at March 31, 1998, is attributable to the sale
of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants and the generation of funds from
operations, offset by payments on long-term debt and lease obligations
and funds used to acquire equipment.  

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had available $3,904,106 in
current operating cash to meet the needs of its business.  The Company
also continues to have available a $500,000 line of credit through its
primary secured lender, which was unused as of March 31, 1998.  Terms
of the Company's line of credit include advances against eligible
receivables and interest at the Bank's prime rate of interest.

     On February 5, 1998, the Company elected to pay
the remaining principal balance on its term note payable to the bank in
the amount of $1,622,381, thereby eliminating its bank debt.  

</PAGE>                            -10-

<PAGE>11
     At March 31, 1998, the Company reported an increase in its
contracts in process account which represents costs incurred for studies
for which revenues have not been recognized and which are currently
underway.  Deposits on contracts in process have also increased
indicating an increase in prepayments on contracted studies.  Changes in
these account balances affect the Company's operating cash flow.

     The Company entered into a capital lease for its second state-of-
the-art laboratory instrument, a LC/MS/MS, which was delivered to the 
Company in September 1997.  Terms of the lease include an original
instrument cost of $340,165, 44 monthly payments of approximately $8,200
and an end-of-lease term option to retain or return the instrument.

         (a) Exhibits:
             Exhibit 27:  Financial Data Schedule

         (b) Reports on Form 8-K

     On January 7, 1998, the Company filed a Report on Form 8-K stating
that the Company had received the proceeds of the sale to investors
including certain affiliates of Aster.Cephac, S.A. and CAI Advisors & Co.
(collectively, the "Purchasers") of (i) 833,300 shares of a newly created
Class A Convertible Preferred Stock and (ii) warrants to purchase
1,250,000 shares of the Registrant's common stock, $0.005 par value per
share and had entered into a Registration Rights Agreement and Technology
Sharing Agreement in connection therewith.  The securities were sold for
an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000 in a private placement pursuant
to a Preferred Share and Warrant Purchase Agreement dated December 4,
1997.  The Purchasers beneficially own approximately 41% of the Company's
voting securities without giving effect to the possible exercise of
Warrants or approximately 54% of the Company's voting securities if all
warrants are exercised.  Such percentage ownership is calculated on the
basis of shares outstanding and does not give effect to the possible
exercise of outstanding stock options.
