ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

GENERAL

      The Company is a development-stage, biopharmaceutical company primarily
focused in the research and development of products and technologies for the
treatment of cancer. The Company has acquired development and marketing rights
to a portfolio of four platform technologies that have been developed over the
past fifteen years, from which seven products and five product candidates have
been derived and additional products may be developed in the future. The
Company's primary objectives are to commence marketing its lead product,
Modrefen, and to continue developing its existing platform technologies and
commercializing products derived from those technologies.

      The Company intends to begin marketing Modrefen (a selective steroid
receptor modulator) on a commercial scale in the United Kingdom before the end
of December 1999. Modrefen is currently licensed in the U.K. for the treatment
of post-menopausal breast cancer and is licensed in the U.S. for the treatment
of certain adrenal disorders. The Company intends to apply before the end of
December 1999 for regulatory approval of Modrefen in the U.S. for treatment of
hormone sensitive cancers. The Company's second lead product, clofarabine (a
purine nucleoside analog), has recently concluded Phase I clinical trials at The
University of Texas M.D. Anderson ("M.D. Anderson"), and the Company anticipates
that it will commence Phase II clinical trials within approximately three
months. Based on third-party studies conducted to date, the Company believes
that clofarabine may be effective in the treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. The
Company intends to request orphan drug designation for clofarabine for leukemia
and lymphoma indications, which will enable the Company to apply for approval of
clofarabine from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for such
indications upon completion of Phase II clinical trials. In addition, two of the
other products to which the Company has rights are presently being tested in
clinical trials, and an additional eight are in the pre-clinical stage of
development.

      The Company has adopted an aggressive product development program and,
assuming the successful completion of clinical trials, anticipates that by the
end of 2002, five of such products will have received regulatory approval for
certain disease indications in the U.S. or Europe, and seven will be emerging
through the clinical trial process. There can be no assurance, however, that any
of such products will be developed and/or receive applicable regulatory approval
within such time frame.

      The following is a description of the Company's current portfolio of
platform technologies and products.

TECHNOLOGIES

      SELECTIVE STEROID RECEPTOR MODULATION TECHNOLOGY

      The Company has acquired development and marketing rights to a selective
steroid receptor modulation technology. The lead compound of this technology is
Modrefen, which is currently licensed in the U.K. for the treatment of
post-menopausal breast cancer and in several other countries, including the U.S.
and Canada, for the treatment of certain adrenal disorders, such as Cushing's
disease. The Company intends to begin marketing Modrefen on a commercial scale
in the U.K. in the last quarter of 1999 for the treatment of post-menopausal
breast cancer, and at the same time to apply for regulatory approval of Modrefen
in the U.S. for treatment of hormone sensitive cancers. The Company anticipates
that Modrefen will be able to compete with its principal competitor, tamoxifen,
upon receipt of such approval. The Company also intends to pursue opportunities
for Modrefen adrenal disorder products on a smaller scale, principally in the
veterinary market. The Company will also devote its research efforts to discover
new applications for Modrefen and related compounds and to build upon the
selective steroid receptor modulation technology. The Company believes that
Modrefen's dual mode of action not only


                                       2
<PAGE>

makes it a versatile treatment for breast cancer, but may enable it to be
developed for additional disease indications in the future, such as endometrial
and prostate cancers.

      PURINE-BASED NUCLEOSIDE TECHNOLOGY

      The Company has an agreement with the Southern Research Institute ("SRI")
in Birmingham, Alabama to co-develop purine-based nucleoside analogs which,
based on third-party studies conducted to date, may be effective in the
treatment of leukemia and lymphoma. The lead compound of such purine-based
nucleosides is known as clofarabine. Clofarabine has recently successfully
concluded Phase I clinical trials at M.D. Anderson, and the Company anticipates
that it will enter Phase II clinical trials within approximately three months.
Unlike many competing drugs which are administered intravenously, clofarabine
and related products are anticipated to be developed for oral administration,
making it easier for patients to receive them as treatment. The Company intends
to request orphan drug designation for clofarabine for leukemia and lymphoma
indications, which will enable the Company to apply for approval from the FDA
upon completion of Phase II clinical trials. In addition to clofarabine's
effects against leukemia cells, scientists at SRI have shown that it has
anti-tumor activity in vitro against several solid tumors, including cancers of
the colon, kidney and prostate, which distinguishes clofarabine from other drugs
in its class that have shown relatively little activity against solid tumors.
Moreover, other drugs in the purine nucleoside class have been shown to be
effective in the treatment of certain autoimmune diseases. The Company intends
to develop purine nucleoside products for the treatment of solid tumors and
autoimmune diseases simultaneously with the development of clofarabine for the
treatment of hematological cancers. The regulatory approval cycles of those
products, however, are expected to be longer than those for the Company's
hematological cancer products.

      CELL DIFFERENTIATION TECHNOLOGY

      The Company has acquired a right to develop and market three distinct
groups of compounds the Company believes could play an important role in
controlling the rate of growth of cancer cells. The first group of compounds are
synthetic analogs of a drug derived from cottenseed oil. The drug has been
widely tested by clinicians in several countries for a variety of clinical
indications, and data has been published in medical literature. The drug has
shown efficacy against certain cancers by, it is believed, preventing cell
division and promoting cell differentiation. The first compound derived from
this technology, the cancer cytostatic drug, is currently approved for a Phase I
clinical trial at a leading cancer center in the U.K.

      The second group of compounds block enzymes that metabolize RA, a
derivative of vitamin A. RA helps to regulate cell differentiation, a crucial
factor in preventing normal cells from transforming into cancer cells. When the
enzyme that breaks down RA is blocked, there is a buildup of natural RA within
the cell which can prevent or decrease the malignant transformation of cells.
The compounds have been extensively tested in the U.K. at Cardiff University,
and the Company expects to have the lead compounds in Phase I clinical trials
within 18 months.

     The Company has also acquired a license to develop a third group of
compounds that control cell growth and differentiation by effectively blocking
hormone synthesis. A key feature of these compounds is they are non-steroidal
inhibitors of an important enzyme, 17(beta), involved in the production of
androgens and estrogen. Prostate cancer growth is controlled, at least in the
early stages, by androgens and the blockade of these hormones is an essential
part of treating this particular cancer. As with the second group of compounds,
this third group has been extensively tested in the U.K. at Cardiff University,
and the Company also expects to have the lead compounds of this group in Phase I
clinical trials within 18 months.

      GENE THERAPY TECHNOLOGY

      The Company's product portfolio also includes a variety of gene therapy
products which, the Company believes, may offer advancements in the field of
cancer treatment and may have additional applications in certain non-cancer
diseases such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis and other auto-immune disorders.


                                       3
<PAGE>

The company has co-development agreements with the Royal Free and University
College Medical School, London (the "Royal Free Medical School"), one of the
leading medical and scientific institutions in the U.K., pursuant to which the
Company is developing Deoxyribonucleic Acid ("DNA") vector technologies. Based
on pre-clinical research and early Phase I/II clinical trials conducted by a
member of the Company's Scientific Advisory Board, the Company believes these
DNA vector technologies are capable of elevating albumin levels in cancer and
cirrhosis patients with hypo-albuminemia, a serious physiological disorder. The
Company further believes that these technologies have considerable market
potential since low albumin levels are considered to be very dangerous
consequences of many diseases, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. The Company
is also currently working on a gene marker which, based on research work
performed to date by scientists at a London teaching hospital, the Company
believes will enable clinicians to identify the location of DNA transferred
during gene therapy. Although the Company's gene marker product is currently in
the pre-clinical development stage, it is expected to have a relatively short
development cycle and the Company anticipates that, subject to applicable
regulatory approval, the product will be suitable for market distribution by
2002. In addition, the Company is conducting pre-clinical research on a product
that may have the ability to cause tumor regression by enhancing and stimulating
the human body's natural immune cells.

(1)   "Development Phase" refers to the current stage of development of the most
      advanced indication.
      "Research" is a pre-clinical Phase and includes research related to
      specific targets and the identification of lead compounds.
      "Lead compounds" are chemicals that have been identified that meet
      pre-selected criteria in cell culture models for activity and potency
      against specific targets. More extensive evaluation is then undertaken to
      determine if the compound should be selected to enter into pre-clinical
      development. Once a lead compound is selected, chemical modification of
      the compound is then undertaken to create the best drug candidate.
      "Pre-clinical" includes pharmacology and toxicology testing in
      pre-clinical models (in vitro and in vivo), formulation work and
      manufacturing scale-up to gather necessary data to comply with applicable
      regulations prior to commencement of human clinical trials.
      Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases that
      may overlap. In "Phase I," the initial introduction of the pharmaceutical
      into healthy human volunteers, the emphasis is on testing for safety
      (adverse effects), dosage tolerance, metabolism, distribution, excretion
      and clinical pharmacology. "Phase II" involves studies in a limited
      patient population to determine the efficacy of the pharmaceutical for
      specific targeted indications, to determine dosage tolerance and optimal
      dosage and to identify possible adverse side effects and safety risks.
      Once a compound is found


                                       4
<PAGE>

      to be effective and to have an acceptable safety profile in Phase I and II
      evaluations, "Phase III" trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical
      efficacy further, to further test for safety within an expanded patient
      population at multiple clinical study sites, and to compare the results of
      the trials with those of currently available treatments. Sometimes Phase I
      and II trials or Phase II and III trials are combined. The FDA reviews
      both the clinical plans and the results of the trials and may discontinue
      the trials at any time if there are significant safety issues.

(2)   Modrefen is currently licensed in the U.K. for the treatment of
      post-menopausal breast cancer. It is also presently licensed in several
      other countries, including the U.S. and Canada, for the treatment of
      certain adrenal disorders, such as Cushing's disease. The Company intends
      to file for FDA approval of Modrefen for the treatment of breast cancer in
      the United States in the last quarter of 1999.

CONTRACTUAL ARRANGEMENTS WITH PARTNERS AND LICENSORS

      STEROID RECEPTOR MODULATION TECHNOLOGY SELECTIVE

      In July 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with Stegram
Pharmaceuticals, a U.K. pharmaceutical company ("Stegram"), to co-develop the
selective steroid synthesis-inhibiting and receptor-blocking technology. Under
the terms of the agreement, the Company was granted the exclusive worldwide
license, excluding Japan and South Africa, to make, use and sell products
derived from the technology for a term expiring on the date of expiration of all
current and future patents covered by the agreement (approximately in
2005--subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances), and to
utilize information related to the technology to obtain patent and other
proprietary rights to products developed by the Company and its collaborator
from the technology. In consideration of the licenses granted to the Company,
the Company agreed to pay to its collaborator, among other things, a royalty of
10% of the gross sales revenues of all products, less any discounts or
deductions for value-added taxes incurred and not recovered by the Company.
Beginning July 2001, the Company will be required to pay Stegram a minimum
royalty of $50,000 per year. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay, among
other things, certain costs associated with pre-clinical development and
clinical trials of such products. Under the terms of the agreement, the clinical
trial costs are not to exceed $4,000,000 unless agreed to by both parties.

      PURINE-BASED NUCLEOSIDE TECHNOLOGY

      In August 1998, the Company entered into an agreement with SRI in
Birmingham, Alabama to co-develop the purine-based nucleoside technology. Under
the terms of the agreement, the Company was granted the exclusive worldwide
license, excluding Japan and Southeast Asia, to make, use and sell products
derived from the technology, and to utilize technical information related to the
technology to obtain patent and other proprietary rights to products developed
by the Company and SRI from the technology for a term expiring on the date of
expiration of all current and future patents covered by the agreement. Based on
the patents currently covered by the agreement, the license will expire in the
year 2008, subject to earlier termination under certain circumstances. In
consideration of the liceses granted to the Company, the Company agreed to pay
to SRI, among other things, a royalty of 7% of the gross sales revenues of all
products derived from the technology, less any discounts or deductions for
value-added taxes incurred and not recovered by the Company, plus certain
additional royalty payments in the event the Company achieves certain gross
profit margins. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay, among other things,
certain costs associated with pre-clinical development and clinical trials of
the products developed for hematologic malignancies, including the cost
associated with Phase I clinical trails at M.D. Anderson, which are not to
exceed $1,250,000, unless agreed by both parties.

      Certain patents and other intellectual property rights granted by SRI to
the Company for use in developing clofarabine products are held by the
Sloan-Kettering Institute for Cancer Research ("Sloan-Kettering") in New York
City. In August 1998, SRI entered into an agreement with Sloan-Kettering,
pursuant to which the parties agreed to cooperate in the commercialization of
their respective purine nucleoside technologies. Under the terms of the
agreement, Sloan-Kettering granted to SRI an exclusive, worldwide license to
utilize its technology and agreed to permit SRI to sublicense such technology to
the Company. The parties also agreed that all proceeds received by SRI from the
licensing or other commercial utilization of any portion of Sloan-Kettering's
technology, excluding fees for research and development, will be apportioned 75%
to SRI and 25% to Sloan-Kettering until the termination of SRI's agreement with
the Company.


                                       5
<PAGE>

      The Company has also reached an agreement in principle with M.D. Anderson
pursuant to which M.D. Anderson would be the principal clinical research center
in the United States for all of the Company's products currently in development.
The agreement contemplates the establishment of a trust fund at M.D. Anderson to
receive royalty payments from the direct sale by the Company of its products and
to finance future research at M.D. Anderson. This agreement will become
effective upon the completion of the Company's pending private financing.

      CELL DIFFERENTIATION TECHNOLOGY

      In June 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with the University
College Cardiff Consultants Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of
England and Wales ("Cardiff Consultants"), to develop and commercialize a group
of compounds that are believed to inhibit cancer cell division, and a group of
compounds that inhibit steriodgenesis. Under the agreement the Company acquired
the commercial rights worldwide to develop, manufacture, use, sell or otherwise
deal in these products in connection with cancer therapy in humans and animals
for a term expiring on the date of expiration of all current and future patents
covered by the agreement. In consideration of the licenses granted to the
Company, the Company agreed to pay to Cardiff Consultants, among other things,
an annual royalty of 5% of the gross sales revenues of all products derived from
the technology, less any reasonable discounts and rebates actually given by the
Company for returned products, and a royalty of 35% of the total amounts
received by the Company from any sub-licenses or sales of the technology. In
addition, the Company has agreed to pay, among other things, approximately
$330,000 in connection with a feasibility study of the products to be conducted
by Cardiff University.

      GENE THERAPY TECHNOLOGY

      In March 1999, the Company entered into a co-development and licensing
agreement with the Royal Free and University College Medical School, London
("Royal Free"), a long-established and renowed scientific institution. Royal
Free is the registered owner of patents relating to a DNA vector technology.
Under the terms of the agreement, the Company was granted the exclusive license
to commercially develop the technology for the treatment of liver disorders and
cancer and to market any products derived from the technology in Europe, the
U.S., Canada, Japan and the middle east, for a term expiring on the date of
expiration of all current and future patents covered by the agreement, subject
to earlier termination under certain circumstances. In consideration of the
licenses granted to the Company, the Company agreed to pay to Royal Free, among
other things, a royalty of 6% of the gross sales revenues of all products
derived from the technology, less any normal trade discounts, which shall not be
less than $3,000 in any calendar year. The Company has also agreed to pay Royal
Free a milestone payment of approximately $340,000 in addition to any royalty or
other payments to be made under the agreement upon successful completion of
Phase III clinical trials for the first of the products developed under the
agreement. In addition, the Company has agreed to pay, among other things,
certain costs associated with pre-clinical development and clinical trials of
the products developed from the technology, which are not to exceed $3,000,000.

MANUFACTURING

      The Company does not have and does not intend to establish any internal
product testing, manufacturing or distribution capabilities. The Company's
strategy is to enter into collaborative arrangements with other companies for
the clinical testing, manufacture and distribution of its products. Such
collaborators are generally expected to be responsible for funding or
reimbursing all or a portion of the development costs, including the costs of
clinical testing necessary to obtain regulatory clearances and for
commercial-scale manufacturing, in exchange for exclusive or semi-exclusive
rights to market specific products in particular geographic territories.

      As of the date of this report, however, the Company had only a purchase
order arrangement with a Canadian company for the manufacture and purchase of
clofarabine at the price quotations provided to the Company and had not entered
into any definitive agreements for the manufacture and distribution of any of
its products. The lead compound of the Company's selective steroid receptor
modulation technology, which the Company plans to market as Modrefen, has
historically been manufactured by Sterling-Winthrop Group Limited, from whom
Stegram acquired all right, title and interest in the lead compound. However,
the Company does not have any direct definitive agreement with Sterling-Winthrop
for the continued manufacture of Modrefen. Manufacturers of the Company's
products will be subject to cGMP prescribed by the FDA or other rules and
regulations prescribed by foreign regulatory authorities

SALES AND MARKETING

      The Company has not yet established sales and marketing capabilities. The
Company intends to hire sales and marketing personnel in North America in the
next 12 months upon completion of a private financing and to rely on joint
marketing arrangements with commercial partners for the marketing, sale and
distribution of its products in Europe and other international markets; however,
as of the date of this report, the Company had no such arrangements in place. To
market any of its products directly, the Company will need to develop a
marketing and sales force with technical expertise and distribution capability
or contract with other pharmaceutical and/or health care companies with
distribution systems and direct sales forces. To the extent that the Company
enters into co-promotion or other licensing arrangements, any revenues to be
received by the Company will be dependent on the efforts of third parties.

COMPETITION

      Competition in the pharmaceutical industry is intense. Potential
competitors in the United States and Europe are numerous and include
pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology companies, most of which have
substantially greater capital resources, marketing experience, research and
development staffs and facilities than the Company. The Company seeks to limit
potential sources of competition by developing products that are eligible for
orphan drug designation or other forms of protection, but its competitors may
nevertheless succeed in developing similar technologies and products more
rapidly than the Company.

      The generic drug industry is also intensely competitive and includes large
brand-name and multi-source pharmaceutical companies. Because generic drugs do
not have patent protection or any other market exclusivity, competitors of the
Company may introduce competing generic products, which may be sold at lower
prices or with more aggressive marketing. Conversely, as the Company introduces
branded drugs into its product portfolio, it will face competition from
manufacturers of generic drugs which may claim to offer equivalent therapeutic
benefits at a lower price.

      The pharmaceutical industry is characterized by rapid and significant
technological change. The Company expects that pharmaceutical technology will
continue to develop rapidly, and the Company's future success will depend, in
large part, on its ability to develop and maintain a competitive position.
Technological development by others may result in products developed by the
Company, branded or generic, becoming obsolete before they are marketed or
before the Company recovers a significant portion of the development and
commercialization expenses incurred with respect to such products. In addition,
alternative therapies or new medical treatments could alter existing treatment
regimes, and thereby reduce the need for one or more of the Company's products.

      The Company expects that its proposed products will compete on the basis
of, among other things, safety, efficacy, reliability, price, quality of life
factors (including the frequency and method of drug administration), marketing,
distribution, reimbursement and effectiveness of intellectual property rights.
The Company believes that its competitive success will be based partly on its
ability to attract and retain scientific personnel, establish specialized
research and development capabilities, gain access to manufacturing, marketing
and distribution resources, secure licenses to external technologies and
products, and obtain sufficient development capital. The Company intends to
obtain many of these capabilities from pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies
through collaborative or license arrangements. However, there is intense
competition among early stage biotechnology firms to establish such
arrangements. The Company's development products may not be of suitable
potential market size or provide a compelling return on investment to attract
other firms to commit resources to a collaboration, and even if such
collaborations can be established, the Company may not be able to secure
financial terms that meet the Company's commercial objectives.

RAW MATERIALS

      The Company's raw materials (such as laboratory chemicals) and other
supply items to be used in its research and development processes are available
from many different suppliers and are generally immediately available in
sufficient quantities. The Company does not anticipate any significant problems
in the availability of, or significant price increases for, required raw
materials or other production items in the foreseeable future.

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

      The Company's success will depend, in part, on its ability to obtain and
enforce protection for its products under United States and foreign patent laws
and other intellectual property laws, preserve the confidentiality of its trade
secrets and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties.
The Company's policy is to file patent applications in the United States and/or
foreign jurisdictions to protect technology, inventions and improvements to its
inventions that are considered important to the development of its business. The
Company will also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological
innovations and licensing opportunities to develop a competitive position.


                                       7
<PAGE>

      The Company, through its current license agreements, has acquired the
right to exploit the technology covered by nine issued patents and six patent
applications, covering the U.S., U.K., Europe, Canada and Japan, as well as
additional intellectual property and know-how that could be the subject of
further patent applications in the future. The Company evaluates the
desirability of seeking patent or other forms of protection for its products in
foreign markets based on the expected costs and relative benefits of attaining
such protection. The Company may not, however, be able to obtain all or any of
the patents for which it applies, and those patents which are issued to the
Company may not afford adequate protection to the Company. Further, issued
patents may be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented and rights
granted thereunder may not provide competitive advantages to the Company.
Furthermore, parties not affiliated with the Company may have obtained or may in
the future obtain United States or foreign patents or may now possess or in the
future may possess proprietary rights relating to the Company's products that
will adversely affect the development or commercialization of the Company's
products or result in the Company's planned activities infringing patents owned
by others.

      The Company could incur substantial costs in defending itself in
infringement suits brought against it or any of its licensors or in asserting
any infringement claims that the Company may have against others. The Company
could also incur substantial costs in connection with any suits relating to
matters for which the Company has agreed to indemnify its licensors or
distributors. An adverse outcome in any such litigation could have a material
adverse effect on the Company's business and prospects. In addition, the Company
could be required to obtain licenses under patents or other proprietary rights
of third parties and, if the Company does not obtain any such required licenses,
it could be prevented from, or encounter delays in, developing, manufacturing or
marketing one or more of its products.

      The Company also relies upon trade secret protection for its confidential
and proprietary information. Third parties may independently develop
substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise
gain access to the Company's trade secrets or disclose such technology, in any
one or more of such events the Company might not be able to protect its trade
secrets.

      The Company plans to implement a policy to require its employees,
consultants, members of the Scientific Advisory Board and parties to
collaborative agreements to execute confidentiality agreements upon the
commencement of employment or consulting relationships or a collaboration with
the Company. These agreements provide that all confidential information
developed or made known during the course of the relationship with the Company
is to be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties except in specific
circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all
inventions resulting from work performed for the Company, utilizing property of
the Company or relating to the Company's business and conceived or completed by
the individual during employment shall be the exclusive property of the Company
to the extent permitted by applicable law. These agreements may not, however,
provide meaningful protection of the Company's trade secrets or adequate
remedies in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of such information.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

      Virtually all aspects of the Company's business are regulated by federal
and state statutes and governmental agencies in the United States and other
countries. The development, testing, manufacturing, processing, quality, safety,
efficacy, packaging, labeling, record-keeping, distribution, storage and
advertising of pharmaceutical products, and disposal of waste products arising
from such activities, are subject to regulation by one or more federal agencies,
including the FDA, the Department of Environmental Protection ("DEA"), the
Federal Trade Commission ("FTC"), the consumer Product Safety Commission
("CPSC"), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") and the
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). These activities are also regulated by
corresponding state and local agencies and equivalent foreign authorities.

      All pharmaceutical manufacturers in the United States are subject to
regulation by the FDA under the authority of the Food, Drug and Cosmetics Act
(the "FDC Act"). Under the FDC Act, the federal government has extensive
administrative and judicial enforcement powers over the activities of
pharmaceutical manufacturers to ensure compliance with FDA regulations. Those
powers include, but are not limited to, the authority to initiate


                                       8
<PAGE>

court action to seize unapproved or non-complying products, to enjoin
non-complying activities, to halt manufacturing operations that are not in
compliance with cGMP, to recall products which present a health risk, and to
seek civil monetary and criminal penalties. Other enforcement activities include
refusal to approve product applications or the withdrawal of previously approved
applications. In addition, product recalls may be issued at the discretion of
the Company, the FDA or other domestic and foreign government agencies having
regulatory authority for pharmaceutical product sales. Recalls may occur due to
disputed labeling claims, manufacturing issues, quality defects or other
reasons. The pharmaceutical products developed by the Company may be subject to
any one or more of such recalls in the future.

      The Company has a variety of products under development, including line
extensions of existing products, reformulations of existing products and new
products. All "new drugs" must be the subject of an FDA-approved new drug
application ("NDA") before they may be marketed in the United States. All
generic equivalents of previously approved drugs or new dosage forms of existing
drugs must be the subject of an FDA-approved abbreviated new drug application
("ANDA") before they may by marketed in the United States. In both cases, the
FDA has the authority to determine what testing procedures are appropriate for a
particular product and, in some instances, has not published or otherwise
identified guidelines as to the appropriate procedures. The FDA has the
authority to withdraw existing NDA and ANDA approvals and to review the
regulatory status of products marketed under the enforcement policy. The FDA may
require an approved NDA or ANDA for any drug product marketed under the
enforcement policy if new information reveals questions about the drug's safety
or effectiveness. All drugs must be manufactured in conformity with cGMP and
drugs subject to an approved NDA or ANDA must be manufactured, processed,
packaged, held and labeled in accordance with information contained in the NDA
or ANDA.

      Even if required FDA approval has been obtained with respect to a product,
foreign regulatory approval of a product must also be obtained prior to
marketing the product internationally. Foreign approval procedures vary from
country to country and the time required for approval may delay or prevent
marketing. In certain instances, the Company or its collaborative partners may
seek approval to market and sell certain of its products outside of the United
States before submitting an application for approval to the FDA. The regulatory
procedures for approval of new pharmaceutical products vary significantly among
foreign countries. The clinical testing requirements and the time required to
obtain foreign regulatory approvals may differ from that required for FDA
approval. Although there is now a centralized European Union ("EU") approval
mechanism for new pharmaceutical products in place, each EU country may
nonetheless impose its own procedures and requirements, many of which are
time-consuming and expensive, and some EU countries require price approval as
part of the regulatory process. Thus, there can be substantial delays in
obtaining required approval from both the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities
after all relevant applications are filed.

      ANDA PROCESS. FDA approval is required before a generic equivalent to a
previously approved brand drug or new dosage form of an existing brand drug can
be marketed. Approval to market such products in the United States may be
obtained by submitting an ANDA to the FDA. Among the requirements for drug
approval by the FDA is that the manufacturing procedures and operations of
companies that manufacture products for the Company conform to cGMPs. If the FDA
believes a company is not in compliance with cGMPs, certain sanctions are
imposed upon that company including: (i) withholding from the company new drug
approvals as well as approvals for supplemental changes to existing
applications; (ii) preventing the company from receiving the necessary export
licenses to export its products; and (iii) classifying the company as an
"unacceptable supplier" and thereby disqualifying the company from selling
products to federal agencies. Moreover, in May 1992, the Generic Drug
Enforcement Act (the "Generic Act") was enacted. The Generic Act allows the FDA
to impose debarment and other penalties on individuals and companies that commit
certain illegal acts relating to the generic drug approval process. In some
situations, the Generic Act requires the FDA to debar (i.e., not accept or
review ANDAs for a period of time) a company or an individual that has committed
certain violations. It also provides for temporary denial of approval of
applications during the investigation of certain violations that could lead to
debarment and also, in more limited circumstances, provides for the suspension
of the marketing of approved drugs by the affected company. Lastly, the Generic
Act allows for civil penalties and the withdrawal of previously approved
applications. Neither the Company nor any of its employees has ever been subject
to debarment.


                                       9
<PAGE>

      NDA PROCESS. FDA approval is required before any new drug can be marketed.
An NDA is a filing submitted to the FDA to obtain approval of a drug not
eligible for an ANDA and must contain complete pre-clinical and clinical safety
and efficacy data or a right of reference to such data. Clinical trials are
typically conducted in three sequential phases. In Phase I, the product is
tested for safety, adverse effects, dosage, tolerance absorption, metabolism,
excretion and other elements of clinical pharmacology, frequently through
introduction of the compound into healthy human beings. Phase II typically
involves studies in a small sample of the intended patient population to assess
the efficacy of the compound for a specified indication, to determine dose
tolerance and the optimal dose range and to gather additional information
relating to safety and potential adverse effects. Phase III trials are
undertaken to further evaluate clinical safety and efficacy in an expanded
patient population at typically dispersed study sites, in order to determine the
overall risk-benefit ratio of the compound, and to provide an adequate basis for
product labeling.

      Data from pre-clinical testing and clinical trials are submitted to the
FDA as an NDA for marketing approval and to other health authorities as a
marketing authorization application. The approval process is affected by a
number of factors, and the FDA or other health authorities may deny an NDA or
marketing authorization application if the regulatory criteria are not
satisfied. Even after initial FDA or other health authority approval has been
obtained, further studies, including Phase IV post-marketing studies, may be
required to provide additional data on safety. Additional studies generally also
are required to gain approval for the use of a product as a treatment for
clinical indications other than those for which the product was initially
tested. Also, the FDA or other regulatory authorities require post-marketing
reporting to monitor the adverse effects of the drug. Results of post-marketing
programs may limit or expand the further marketing of the products. Further, if
there are any modifications to the drug, including changes in indication,
manufacturing process or labeling or a change in the manufacturing facility, an
application seeking approval of such changes must be submitted to the FDA or
other regulatory authority. The Company has not experienced sanctions or fines
for non-compliance with the foregoing regulations.

      FOREIGN REGULATORY PROCESS. To market drugs in non-U.S. jurisdictions, the
Company must also receive authorization from the respective regulatory
authorities in those jurisdictions. The requirements governing the conduct of
clinical trials, applications for marketing authorization, pricing and
reimbursement vary widely from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. In the EU,
pharmaceutical legislation requires that a Marketing Authorization Application
("MAA") for a drug produced through the use of biotechnology be submitted for
review in accordance with a centralized procedure administered by the European
Medicines Evaluation Agency (the "EMEA"), headquartered in London. If approved
by the EMEA, an MAA is recommended for acceptance by the EU. Following approval
of an MAA for a drug, the sponsoring company is required to negotiate with the
regulatory agency in each member country to establish reimbursement levels and
the maximum price at which the drug may be marketed in that country. These
reimbursement levels and maximum prices vary from country to country for the
same pharmaceutical. The regulatory requirements applicable to any product may
be modified, perhaps extensively, in the future. The Company cannot determine
what effect changes in regulations or statutes or legal interpretations, when
and if promulgated or enacted, may have on its business in the future. Moreover,
regulatory approval for marketing a proposed pharmaceutical product in any
particular jurisdiction will not necessarily result in similar approval in other
jurisdictions.

      ORPHAN DRUG DESIGNATION. Under the Orphan Drug Act, the FDA may grant
orphan drug designation to drugs intended to treat a "rare disease or
condition," which generally is a disease or condition that affects populations
of fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan drug designation must
be requested before submitting an NDA, and after the FDA grants orphan drug
designation, the generic identity of the therapeutic agent and its potential
orphan use are publicized by the FDA. Under current law, orphan drug status is
conferred upon the first company to receive FDA approval to market the
designated drug for the designated indication, which also grants United States
marketing exclusivity for a period of seven years following approval of the NDA,
subject to certain limitations. Orphan drug designation does not convey any
advantage in, or shorten the duration of, the FDA regulatory approval process.
Moreover, although obtaining FDA approval to market a product with orphan drug
status can be advantageous, the scope of protection and/or the level of
marketing exclusivity that is currently afforded by orphan drug status and
marketing approval may be diminished or eliminated in the future. Moreover, NDA
approval of a drug with an orphan drug designation does not prevent the FDA from
approving the same drug for a different indication, or a molecular variation of
the same drug for the same indication. Because doctors are not


                                       10
<PAGE>

restricted by the FDA from prescribing an approved drug for uses not approved by
the FDA, it is also possible that another company's drug could be prescribed for
indications for which a product developed by the Company has received orphan
drug designation and NDA approval.

PRODUCT LIABILITY AND INSURANCE

      The Company faces exposure to product liability claims in the event that
the use of its technologies or products or those it licenses from third parties
is alleged to have resulted in adverse effects in users thereof. Receipt of
regulatory approval for commercial sale of such products does not mitigate such
product liability risks. While the Company has filed applications with a
reputable insurance company for the purpose of obtaining what it believes to be
adequate product liability insurance, as of the date of this report the Company
has not obtained any such insurance. There can be no assurance that the
precautions taken by the Company will be sufficient to avoid significant product
liability exposure. in addition, future product labeling may include disclosure
of additional adverse effects, precautions and contradictions, which may
adversely impact sales of such products.

EMPLOYEES

      As of September 15, 1999, the Company had four employees, consisting of
one sales and marketing executive, two research and development executives and
one financial executive. None of the Company's employees is represented by a
labor union and the Company believes its relations with its employees are good.

CORPORATE HISTORY

      The Company was incorporated as Express Finance Inc. under the laws of the
State of Delaware on August 16, 1996 and changed its name to Ascot Group Inc. on
August 26, 1998. Although the Company was initially formed to act as the U.S.
holding company for Mayhem Ltd., a U.K. corporation, it did not engage in any
active trade or business throughout the period from its inception to December
1998.

      In December 1998, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase all of
the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Bioenvision Inc., a
development-stage company incorporated in November 1996 under the laws of the
State of Delaware ("Old Bioenvision"). Old Bioenvision primarily engaged in the
research and development of products and technologies for the treatment of
cancer and had acquired development and marketing rights to a portfolio of
platform technologies that had been developed over the past fifteen years and
from which various products were being derived. Old Bioenvision had two
wholly-owned subsidiaries, Biotechnology & Healthcare Ventures Ltd. ("BHV"), a
corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Ireland, and Eurobiotech
Group, Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.
BHV, in turn, owned all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of
Bioheal Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the Republic of Ireland,
and Biomed (UK) Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the United
Kingdom.

      Pursuant to the Company's agreement to acquire Old Bioenvision, the
Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its then outstanding shares
of Common Stock and issued 7,013,897 post-reverse split shares of Common Stock
to the former stockholders of Old Bioenvision in exchange for all of the issued
and outstanding shares of capital stock of Old Bioenvision. Consequently, upon
consummation of the transaction in January 1999, the former stockholders of Old
Bioenvision became the controlling stockholders of the Company, Old Bioenvision
became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and changed its name to Bionco
Marketing Inc., and the Company changed its name from Ascot Group Inc. to
Bioenvision Inc.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

FACILITIES

      As of the date of this report the Company does not have any interest in
real property. The Company currently uses the offices of its financial advisor
at One Rockefeller Plaza, Suite 1600, New York, New York for its principal
executive offices at no cost. This office space is used by management and
administration. To date, most of the Company's drug development programs have
been conducted at scientific institutions around the world. It is the Company's
policy to continue development at leading scientific institutions in the United
States and Europe. The Company intends to lease facilities that will serve as
its corporate headquarters in the United States upon completion of a private
financing. These facilities will be the center for all of the Company's
administrative and marketing functions in the United States. The Company does
not plan to conduct laboratory research in such facilities in the near future,
but, rather, will conduct research through collaborative arrangements with SRI
and M.D. Anderson.

INVESTMENT POLICIES

      The Company does not currently have any investments in real estate or
interests in real estate, nor in real estate mortgages nor in the securities of
or interests in persons primarily engaged in real estate. The Company generally
acquires its assets for the purpose of ultimately producing sales revenues from
the exploitation of such assets in the development of the Company's
biopharmaceutical business. The Company does not currently have any surplus cash
to invest, but the Company intends to invest any surplus cash it may have on
hand in the future in interest-bearing deposit accounts, short-term certificates
of deposit and governmental debt instruments.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

      There are no material legal proceedings pending to which the Company or
any of its property is currently subject.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

      No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth

      *In accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement between Old
Bioenvision and the Company dated December 21, 1998 (the "Acquisition
Agreement"), the Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split, reducing its
issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock from 3,450,000 to 230,000,
immediately prior to issuing 7,013,897 shares of post 1-for-15 reverse stock
split Common Stock at the closing of the Acquisition on January 5, 1999.

      HOLDERS. On September 15, 1999 the Company had 261 stockholders of record.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

      In September 1998, the Company granted options to Glen Investments
Limited, a Jersey (Channel Islands) corporation ("Glen Investments") wholly
owned by Kevin R. Leech, a U.K. citizen, to purchase up to 500,000 shares of
Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share in exchange for the
agreement by Glen to loan funds to the Company on an as-needed basis based upon
previously agreed budgets. Such optioins are presently exercisable. The issuance
of such options was exempt from registration under Regulation S promulgated
under the Securities Act based upon representations and warranties made by Glen
as to the status of Glen as an offshore buyer and Glen's covenants and
agreements not to offer or sell the subject shares within the United States at
any time such as would disqualify the private placement from the exemption under
Regulation S.

      Effective as of January 5, 1999, pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement the
Company effected a 1-for-15 reverse stock split and thereafter issued 7,013,897
post-reverse split shares of Common Stock to the stockholders of Old Bioenvision
in exchange for 7,013,897 shares of common stock of Old Bioenvision, comprising
all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Old Bioenvision, in
a tax-free exchange. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration
under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act based upon
representations and warranties made by the purchasers thereof who were citizens
of the United Kingdom as to their status as offshore buyers and their covenants
not to offer or sell the subject shares within the United States at any time
such as would disqualify the private placement from the exemption under
Regulation S, and under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act with respect to those
investors who were United States citizens, based upon their representations that
they were accredited investors as defined under the Commission's Rule 501(a).

      In April 1999 the Company issued an aggregate of 4,000 shares of Common
Stock to Inpharmation Ltd. in partial consideration for consulting services
rendered to the Company. The issuance of such shares was exempt from
registration under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act based upon
representations and warranties made by the purchaser as to its status as an
offshore buyer and its covenant not to offer or sell the subject shares within
the United States at any time such as would disqualify the private placement
from the exemption under Regulation S.

      In April 1999 the Company issued 1,250 shares of Common Stock to
Christopher P. Oliver. The issuance of such shares was exempt from registration
under Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act based upon
representations and warranties made by the purchaser as to its status as an
offshore buyer and its covenant not to offer or sell the subject shares within
the United States at any time such as would disqualify the private placement
from the exemption under Regulation S.

DIVIDEND POLICY

      The Company has never declared or paid cash dividends on its capital
stock, and the Company's Board of Directors does not intend to declare or pay
any dividends on the Common Stock in the foreseeable future. Earnings of the
Company, if any, are expected to be retained for use in expanding the Company's
business. The declaration and payment in the future of any cash or stock
dividends on the Common Stock will be at the discretion of the Board of
Directors of the Company and will depend upon a variety of factors, including
the ability of the Company to service its outstanding indebtedness and to pay
its dividend obligations on securities ranking senior to the Common Stock, the
Company's future earnings, if any, capital requirements, financial condition and
such other factors as the Company's Board of Directors may consider to be
relevant from time to time.

ITEM 6. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

      The Company was organized in August 1996 for the purpose of acting as a
publicly traded holding company for Mayhem Ltd., a United Kingdom corporation.
That purpose was never realized and prior to the change in control of the
Company in January 1999, the Company did not engage in any active trade or
business. The Company is considered a development-stage company for accounting
purposes because it has not generated any material revenues to date.
Accordingly, the Company has no relevant operating history upon which an
evaluation of the Company's performance and prospects can be made. Moreover, the
Company is still subject to all of the business risks associated with a new
enterprise, including, but not limited to, risks of unforeseen capital
requirements, lack of fully developed products, failure of market acceptance,
failure to establish business relationships, reliance on outside contractors for
the manufacture and distribution of proposed products, and competitive
disadvantages as against larger and more established companies. The likelihood
of the success of the Company must be considered in light of the development
cycles of new pharmaceutical products and technologies and the competitive and
regulatory environment in which the Company operates.

      The company is an international biopharmaceutical company primarily
engaged in the research and development of products and technologies for the
treatment of cancer. During its development stage the Company has been primarily
engaged in organizational activities, including developing a strategic operating
plan, entering into various collaborative agreements for the development of
products and technologies, hiring personnel and developing and testing its
products. The Company plans to begin marketing its lead product, Modrefen, on a
commercial scale in the U.K. prior to the end of December of 1999. The Company
has assembled the core of its management team, which includes a Chairman of the
Board and Chief Executive Officer, two Senior Vice Presidents and Chief Medical
Officer.

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

      The Company has acquired development and marketing rights to a portfolio
of four platform technologies developed over the past fifteen years, from which
seven products and five product candidates have been derived and additional
products may be developed in the future. Although the Company intends to
commence marketing its lead product, Modrefen, and to continue developing its
existing platform technologies and commercializing products derived from such
technologies, a key element of the Company's business strategy is to continue to
acquire, in-license and develop new technologies and products that the Company
believes offer unique market opportunities and/or complement the Company's
existing product lines. Once a product or technology has been launched into the


                                       14
<PAGE>

market for a particular disease indication, the Company plans to work with
numerous collaborators, both pharmaceutical and clinical, in the oncology
community to extend the labeling of the drug to other indications. In order to
market its products effectively, the Company intends to develop marketing
alliances with strategic partners and may co-promote and/or co-market in certain
territories.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      From the period of its inception through December 1998, the Company did
not engage in any active trade or business. In January 1999, the Company
consummated a merger with Old Bioenvision by effecting a 1-for-15 reverse stock
split of its then outstanding shares of Common Stock and thereafter issuing
7,013,897 post-reverse split shares of Common Stock to the former stockholders
of Old Bioenvision in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Old Bioenvision. Consequently, upon consummation of the merger,
the former stockholders of Old Bioenvision became the controlling stockholders
of the Company, Old Bioenvision became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
and changed its name to Bionco Marketing Inc., and the Company changed its name
from Ascot Group Inc. to Bioenvision Inc.

      To date, the Company has incurred significant net losses, including net
losses of $765,154 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1998 and net losses of
$495,193 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1999. The Company had an accumulated
deficit of $837,193 at June 30, 1998 and $1,332,386 at June 30, 1999 and, since
that date, the Company has continued to incur significant and increasing losses.
The Company anticipates that it may continue to incur significant operating
losses for the foreseeable future. There can be no assurance as to whether or
when the Company will generate material revenues or achieve profitable
operations. The Company's independent public accountants have included an
explanatory paragraph in their report on the Company's financial statements,
stating that certain factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.

In the year ended June 30, 1999 administrative expenses totaled pound 379,279
compared to pound 689,499 for the year ended June 30, 1998. The reduction in
expenses is a result of the Company realizing cost savings following
reorganization during the year.

Research and development expenses were $100,000 in the year ended June 30, 1999
compared to $-0- for the year ended June 30, 1998. The increase in research
and development costs is a result of the Company increasing its research
activities during 1999 in-line with the development of its products.

     Based on its current operating plan, the Company believes that the
estimated minimum amount of net proceeds from its anticipated private financing
will be sufficient to meet its cash, operational and liquidity requirements for
at least 12 months following the completion of such financing, and that the
estimated maximum net proceeds from such private financing will be sufficient to
meet its cash, operational and liquidity requirements for at least 18 months
following the completion thereof. The Company may, however, require additional
financing within this time frame due to unanticipated changes in economic
conditions or other unforeseen circumstances. In the event the Company's plans
change or its assumptions change or prove to be inaccurate, the Company could be
required to seek additional financing sooner than currently anticipated. The
Company currently has an agreement with Glen Investments Limited, a Jersey
(Channel Islands) company wholly owned by Kevin R. Leech (a private investor who
is also the sole owner of Phoenix Ventures Limited, the holder of approximately
19% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company), whereby Glen
Investments has agreed to loan funds to the Company on an as-needed basis based
upon previously agreed budgets. A facility of pound one million is currently
available to the Company based on budgets that assume the above private
placement is successful. If the private placement proves to be unsuccessful,
Glen Investments Ltd. has agreed to support the Company for the forthcoming year
subject to satisfactory review of revised budgets. Any additional financing may
not, however, be available to the Company when needed on commercially reasonable
terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing,
the Company's operations will, in all likelihood, cease.

YEAR 2000 ISSUE

      The year 2000 issue refers to the potential failures that computer systems
may incur as a result of the date change from 1999 to 2000. Many existing
computer programs use only two digits to identify a change of the century. As a
result, computer systems using these programs may be unable to properly
recognize date-sensitive data resulting in the creation of erroneous information
or system failure.

      Although the Company does not currently have any computer or other systems
that may be susceptible to the year 2000 issue, the Company's products
are mostly being developed in various research institutions which may have
systems that are not year 2000 compliant. A possible worst case year 2000
scenario for the Company would be if the research institutions' systems failed.
If their networks fail for an extended period of time due to the


                                       15
<PAGE>

year 2000 issue, the Company may no longer be able to continue developing and
testing its products. In the event such systems are not year 2000 compliant on a
timely basis, the Company will seek to develop and test its products at
institutions whose systems are year 2000 compliant. The Company has no assurance
that this can be accomplished in a timely or cost effective manner.

      The Company is currently evaluating such year 2000 issues and their
potential impact on its business, and has commenced inquiries to determine the
status of preparations by the research institutions where the Company's products
are tested to become year 2000 compliant. Although the Company's management
expects to incur cots in correcting any year 2000 issues arising as a result of
such research institutions' handling of their own year 2000 issues, management
cannot currently estimate those costs. All such costs will be expensed as
incurred. The Company does not expect that the cost of addressing any year 2000
issue will be a material event or uncertainty that would cause its reported
financial information not to be necessarily indicative of future operating
results or future financial condition, or that the costs or consequences of
incomplete or untimely resolution of any year 2000 issue represent a known
material event or uncertainty that is reasonably likely to affect its future
financial results, or cause its reported financial information not to be
necessarily indicative of future operating results or future financial
condition. However, if the Company encounters any unanticipated delays in, or
costs associated with, the resolution of any year 2000 issue, the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially
adversely affected.

ITEM 8. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND
        FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

      On September 30, 1999 the Company and its former auditors, Graf Repetti &
Co., LLP ("Graf Repetti") agreed to terminate their relationship as of such
date. As of October 1, 1999, the Company retained Ernst & Young as its
independent public accountants. The decision to terminate its relationship with
Graf Repettis was recommended and approved by the Board of Directors and was
based upon the Company's need to have auditors with international auditing
capability.

      During the period from inception on August 16, 1996 through and including
June 30, 1998, and for the interim period from July 1, 1998 through March 31,
1999, Graf Repetti's reports on the Company's financial statements neither
contained any adverse opinions or disclaimers of opinions nor were qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, except that Graf Repetti's auditors' report on the
Company's consolidated financial statements for the fiscal period ended June 30,
1998 expressed substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern owing to the Company's losses from operations and net capital
deficiency.

      During the fiscal period commencing with inception on August 16, 1996 and
ended June 30, 1998, and for the interim period from July 1, 1998 through March
31, 1999, there were no disagreements with Graf Repetti on any matter of
accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing
scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of
Graf Repetti, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of
the disagreements in connection with its reports.

      Each director is elected to serve for a term of one year or until his or
her successor is duly elected and qualified. The Company's officers are elected
by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors, subject to the terms
of any employment agreements. No family relationship exists among any directors
or executive officers of the Company.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

      Non-management directors of the Company each receive a director's fee of

special assignments of the Board of Directors.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE EXCHANGE ACT

executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of the outstanding equity
securities of the Company, to file initial reports of beneficial ownership and

ITEM 12. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

      In May 1998, Bioheal Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an
agreement with Christopher B. Wood, the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, to co-develop a gene marker and
immunomodulator system for use in gene therapy and related technologies. Under
the terms of the agreement, Bioheal was granted the exclusive license to make,
use and sell products derived from technology, and to utilize technical
information related to the technology to obtain patent and other proprietary
rights to products developed by Bioheal and its collaborators from the
technology for a term expiring on the date of expiration of all current and
future patents covered by the agreement, subject to earlier termination under
certain circumstances. In consideration of the licenses granted to Bioheal,
Bioheal agreed to pay to Dr. Wood, among other things, a royalty of 10% of the
gross sales revenues of all products, less and discounts or deductions for
value-added taxes. In addition, Bioheal has agreed to pay, among other things,
certain costs associated with pre-clinical development and clinical trials of
such products. Under the terms of the agreement, the pre-clinical costs are not

      The Company has an agreement with Glen Investments, a corporation wholly
owned by Kevin R. Leech, whereby Glen Investments has agreed to loan funds to
the Company on an as-needed basis based upon previously agreed budgets. Mr.
Leech is a private investor who is also the sole owner of Phoenix Ventures
Limited, a Guernsey (Channel Islands) corporation and the holder of
approximately 19% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. In
exchange for its agreement to loan funds to the Company, the Company granted to
Glen Investments options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock at an
exercise price of $1.00 per share, all of which options are currently
exercisable. As of the date of this Memorandum, Glen Investments had loaned the
Company a total of $280,000 (approximately pound 170,000) out of a total
facility currently of pound 1 million (approximately $1.65 million).

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Bioenvision, Inc. (formerly Ascot Group, Inc.) (a development stage company)

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Bioenvision,
Inc. (formerly Ascot Group, Inc.) (a development stage company) as of June 30,
1999, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders'
equity, and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended June 30,
1999 and for the period from August 16, 1996 (inception) through June 30, 1999.
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 audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Bioenvision, Inc.
(formerly Ascot Group, Inc.) at June 30, 1999, and the consolidated results of
its operations and its consolidated cash flows for each of the two years in the
period ended June 30, 1999 and for the period from August 16, 1996 (inception)
through June 30, 1999, in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States.

As discussed in Note 1 of Notes to consolidated Financial Statements, the
Company has incurred losses from operations and is not currently generating cash
from operations. This factor raises substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans as to this matter are
also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANISATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICES.

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

The Company is a development stage, biopharmaceutical company primarily focused
in the research and development of products and technologies for the treatment
of cancer. The Company has acquired development and marketing rights to a
portfolio of four platform technologies.

The Company was incorporated as Express Finance, Inc. under the laws of the
State of Delaware on August 16, 1996 and changed its name to Ascot Group, Inc.
on August 26, 1998 and further to Bioenvision, Inc. in December 1998.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In January 1999 the Company merged with Bioenvision, Inc, ('Old Bioenvision') a
development stage Company primarily engaged in the research and development of
products and technologies for the treatment of cancer. The transaction was
accounted for as a reorganisation of companies under common control in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests as they had a common majority shareholder. All
prior period amounts have been restated to include the financial results of Old
Bioenvision.

In September 1998, Old Bioenvision merged with Eurobiotech Group, Inc., a
development stage company involved in the research and development of products
and technologies for the treatment of cancer. The transaction was accounted for
as a combination of a reorganisation of companies under common control in a
manner similar to a pooling as they had a common majority shareholder, and the
purchase of a minority interest. All prior year amounts have been restated.

In July 1998, Old Bioenvision merged with Biotechnology & Healthcare Ventures
Limited ('BHV'), a development stage company involved in the research and
development of products and technologies for the treatment of cancer. The
transaction was accounted for as a reorganisation of companies under common
control in a manner similar to a pooling of interests as they had a common
majority shareholder. All prior period amounts have been restated to reflect the
financial results of BHV.

BHV acquired Bioheal Limited and Biomed UK Limited in May 1998, both of which
are development stage companies involved in the research and development of
products and technologies for the treatment of cancer. Both of the transactions
were accounted for as purchases and the results of Biomed UK Limited and Bioheal
Limited have been included in the financial statements of BHV from the date of
acquisition.

Where mergers have been accounted for as reorganisations under common control in
a manner similar to a pooling of interests, no fair values have been attributed
to any tangible or intangible assets, including technology rights.

The financial statements expressed in pounds sterling as of June 30, 1999 and
for the year then ended and the period August 16, 1996 (inception) to June 30,
1999 were translated in to US dollars, solely for the convenience of the reader,
at the prevailing exchange rate of (pound)1 = $1.5765. These translations should
not be construed as representations that the pound sterling amounts actually
represent US dollar amounts or that they could be converted into US dollars at
the rate indicated or at any other rate.

The Company has incurred significant losses from operations and is not currently
generating cash from operations. The Company anticipates that it may continue to
incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future. Operations to
date have been funded principally by equity capital and borrowings. The Company
intends to continue to fund its development expenses through additional capital
raising activities, including one or more offerings of equity and/or debt
through private placements and/or public offerings.

In particular, stockholders have approved the offering, through a private
placement, of 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock in the Company. Based on its
current operating plan, the Company believes  that the estimated amount of net
proceeds will be sufficient to meet its cash, operational and liquidity
requirements for at least the 12 months following the closing of such a private
placement.

In addition, the Company has entered into an agreement with Glen Investments
Ltd., a related party (see note 8) whereby Glen Investments Ltd. has agreed to
loan funds to the Company on an as-needed basis based upon previously agreed
budgets. A facility of pound 1 million is currently available to the Company
based on budgets that assume the above private placement is successful. If the
private placement proves to be unsuccessful, Glen Investments Ltd. has agreed to
support the Company for the forthcoming year, subject to satisfactory review of
revised budgets.

The Company's ability to continue to develop its infrastructure depends upon its
ability to raise equity capital through the approved private placement, the
continuing availability of funding from Glen Investments and upon its ability to
raise other additional capital. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that may result from this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts
and transactions have been eliminated.

USE OF 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 the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements as
well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and such differences
may be material to the financial statements.

INCOME TAXES

The Company accounts for income taxes under Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (FAS 109). Under FAS 109,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are
measured using the enacted tax rates that will be in effect when the differences
are expected to reverse.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated
depreciation and amortisation. Depreciation and amortisation is provided on a
reducing balance basis at the rate of 25% per year.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets consist of acquired development and marketing rights to
platform technologies. Acquired development and marketing rights are stated at
their cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is provided on a
straight-line basis over 20 years.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and Development costs are charged to expense as incurred.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted net loss per share is computed
using the weighted average number of common shares and potentially dilutive
common shares outstanding during the periods.

Options to purchase 500,000 shares of common stock have not been included in the
calculation of net loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The functional currency of the Company is Pounds Sterling. The functional
currency of the Company and its subsidiary, Old Bioenvision, was previously the
US dollar. Following various re-organisations (see Note 2) all historical
amounts have been restated with the adoption of Pounds Sterling as the
functional currency. This did not have a material impact.

2. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During the two years ended June 30, 1999 the Company and its subsidiaries
completed a number of mergers and acquisitions. The Company merged with Old
Bioenvision, Inc. (" Old Bioenvision") on January 5, 1999, in exchange for
7,013,897 shares which was accounted for as a reorganisation of companies under
common control. Previously, on September 8, 1998, Bioenvision had merged with
Eurobiotech Group Inc. ("Eurobiotech") in exchange for 2,500,000 shares of its
common stock which was accounted for as a combination of a reorganisation of
companies under common control and the purchase of a minority interest. The
purchase price for the minority interest was (pound)15,541 and has been
allocated as follows:

                                                                  (pound)

      Technology rights                                           682,650

                                                                 --------

The value of technology is based on an assessment performed by an independent
specialist.

In addition, on July 3, 1998 Old Bioenvision merged with Biotechnology &
Healthcare Ventures Limited ('BHV') in exchange for 4,150,000 shares of common
stock in a transaction accounted for as a reorganisation of companies under
common control.

On May 21, 1998 BHV acquired Biomed UK Limited ("Biomed") in exchange for
300,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to $900,000 of BHV
common stock. Following the acquisition of BHV by Old Bioenvision, the agreement
was amended which resulted in 300,000 shares of common stock in Old Bioenvision
being issued in lieu of the cancellation of the BHV stock and warrants. Proforma
information for the transaction has not been presented as Biomed had immaterial
operations, assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The value of the
shares issued was not material and approximated the value of Biomed's tangible
net assets at the date of acquisition.

Further, on May 20, 1998 BHV acquired Bioheal Limited ("Bioheal") in exchange
for 450,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to $1,600,000
worth of BHV common stock. Following the acquisition of BHV by Old Bioenvision,
the agreement was amended which resulted in 535,000 shares of common stock in
Old Bioenvision being issued in lieu of the cancellation of the BHV stock and
warrants. Proforma information for the transaction has not been presented as
Bioheal had immaterial operations, assets and liabilities at the date of
acquisition. The value of the shares issued was not material and approximated
the value of Bioheal's tangible net assets at the date of acquisition.

The following table reconciles the operating results for prior periods to the
amounts reflecting restatement of prior periods to include the results of Old
Bioenvision:

Rent expense for 1998 and 1999 was (pound)nil and (pound)9,000 respectively and
(pound)18,000 for the period from August 16, 1996 (inception) through June 30,
1997.

The Company uses office space for its executive offices which it receives from
its financial advisor at no cost.

6. INCOME TAXES

Due to operating losses and the inability to recognise corporation tax benefit
therefrom, there is no provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30,
1998 and 1999 and for the period from August 16, 1996 (inception) through June
30, 1999.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting
purposes and the amount used for corporation tax purposes. Significant
components of the Company's deferred tax assets are as follows:

                                                        1998         1999
                                                     (pound)      (pound)
      Capitalised start-up costs (US)                141,610       48,604
      Net operating loss carry forwards (US)          94,147       78,967
                                                    --------     --------
      Total deferred tax assets                      235,757      127,571
      Valuation allowance                           (235,757)    (127,571)
                                                    --------     --------
      Net deferred tax asset                              --           --
                                                    ========     ========

As of June 30, 1999 the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately (pound)151,000 which do not expire under UK law.

7. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

In January 1997, the Board of Directors and stockholders approved a 1 for 1.986
reverse split of the Company's common stock and in January 1999 effected at 1
for 15 reverse stock split. All share and per share amounts in the accompanying

8. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

On September 8, 1998 the Company entered to an agreement with Glen Investments,
Limited, a Jersey, Channel Islands corporation wholly owned by Kevin R. Leech,
whereby Glen Investments has agreed to loan funds to the Company on an as-needed
basis based upon previously agreed budgets. Mr Leech is a private investor who
is also the sole owner of Phoenix Ventures Limited, a Guernsey, Channel Islands
corporation and the holder of approximately 19% of the outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company. In exchange for its agreement to loan funds to the
Company, the Company issued to Glen Investments options to purchase up to
500,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, all of
which options are currently exercisable. As such options were issued at an
exercise price greater than the fair value of common stock, no amount has been
included in the statement of operations to reflect the issuance of the options.
(pound)219,330 was outstanding under this agreement at June 30, 1999.

As of June 30, 1998 and 1999 financial advisors to the Company held 325,036
shares in the Company, which were issued in exchange for financial planning
services rendered. These services are reflected in the statement of operations
as start-up and organisational costs. They are valued at $0.01 per share, which
reflects the most recent transaction for shares.

In May 1998, Bioheal Ltd., a subsidiary of the Company, entered into an
agreement with Christopher B. Wood, the Chairman of the Board and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, to co-develop a gene marker and
immunomodulator system for use in gene therapy and related technologies. Under
the terms of the agreement, Bioheal was granted the exclusive license to make,
use and sell products derived from technology, and to utilize technical
information related to the technology to obtain patent and other proprietary
rights to products developed by Bioheal and its collaborators from the
technology for a term expiring on the date of expiration of all current and
future patents covered by the agreement, subject to earlier termination under
certain circumstances. In consideration of the licenses granted to Bioheal,
Bioheal agreed to pay to Dr. Wood, among other things, a royalty of 10% of the
gross sales revenues of all products, less any discounts or deductions for
value-added taxes. In addition, Bioheal has agreed to pay, among other things,
certain costs associated with pre-clinical development and clinical trials of
such products. Under the terms of the agreement, the pre-clinical costs are not
to exceed $1,500,000, and the clinical trial costs are not to exceed $4,000,000,
unless agreed by both parties.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

During October 1999 the stockholders approved the offering, through a private
placement, of 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock in the Company.
