ITEM 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

COMPANY HISTORY

Paracelsian,  Inc.  ("Paracelsian"  or the "Company") is a Delaware  corporation
that was incorporated in 1990. The Company's  initial strategy was to refine and
commercialize the Ah-IMMUNOASSAYTM for environmental applications. Management of
the Company at that time  believed  that the refined  Ah-IMMUNOASSAYTM  would be
effective  as an  inexpensive  and  easy  to use  test  for  the  screening  and
monitoring of polluted soil and water samples. The Company received a patent for
this   application   in  October  1993,  and  began  to  develop  a  program  to
commercialize  the  technology.  The  result of this  work is the  Toxicological
Screening Assay system.

In 1995,  other patented assays  developed as a result of the Company's  ongoing
research with the Ah-IMMUNOASSAYTM  were used to screen potentially  efficacious
herbal extracts of Traditional  Chinese  Medicines ("TCM") for natural compounds
which would be effective in treating different types of cancer. The 2,764 herbal
extracts used in the screening are owned by the Company and were acquired in the
purchase of Pacific Liaisons in 1994.

The screening work  identified  many promising  drug  candidates.  One compound,
Andrographalide,  was  identified  by the Company's  assay  technology as having
significant  potential to inhibit excessive  multiplication of cells involved in
serious   diseases   such  as  cancer  and  viral   infections.   In   addition,
Andrographalide  has been found to be more  effective  when used  together  with
several other compounds such as AZT.

In 1995,  the Company made the decision to  commercialize  Andrographalide  as a
dietary supplement.  A Phase I safety study to test for efficacy and toxicity of
the compound was successfully  conducted in January 1996 at Bastyr University in
Seattle,  Washington. Upon receiving positive results from the Bastyr study, the
Company  began  developing  two  Andrographalide  based retail  products for the
dietary supplement market.  One product,  AndroVirTM,  was targeted as a dietary
supplement  that  enhanced  the  immune  system for those  suffering  from viral
infections.  The other product,  AndrocarTM, was to be marketed as enhancing the
immune system for those suffering from neoplastic  growth of tumors.  Management
planned to launch  these  products in May 1997.  In March 1997,  key  management
personnel  resigned  from the Company and the launch of the retail  products was
postponed until September 1997.

In June  1997,  the US Food  and  Drug  Administration  ("FDA")  ruled  that the
products  could not be sold as  dietary  supplements  with the  intended  market
positioning and were to be classified,  based on the marketing claims, as drugs.
The drug classification  meant the products would be subject to extensive animal
and human  clinical  trials before the FDA would approve the products for market
introduction.  The company  immediately  canceled  its launch of the two dietary
supplements.

In January 1998,  Biomar  International,  Inc., a Delaware  corporation with its
principal  office  in  Chapel  Hill,  North  Carolina  ("Biomar"),  purchased  a
significant  interest in the Company.  The stock purchase  agreement gave Biomar
the right to  appoint  a new Board of  Directors.  The new Board  named  Bernard
Landes,  Chairman  of the Board,  President  and Chief  Executive  Officer.  Mr.
Landes,  who  had no  prior  relationship  with  the  Company,  has  significant
experience in the natural food products industry.

COMPANY BUSINESS


Paracelsian is a development stage applied  biotechnology  company that utilizes
its  proprietary  bioassay  technologies to discover and measure the effect of a
variety of natural  substances on biological  systems  (including living cells).
These systems are further used to define the  biological  mechanisms  (including
free radical scavenging, enzyme inhibition,  enzyme stimulation,  stimulation of
or  inhibition  of abnormal  cell  division,  activation  of  specific  cellular
mechanisms,  maintenance  of normal cell  function,  etc.)  through  which these
substances affect cellular function.  The company's assay technologies have been
developed to identify  natural  substances that provide specific health benefits
either in the  maintenance  of normal  bodily  structure  and function or in the
treatment of specific disease conditions.  As an example, the company's patented
"CDK" assay  assesses the ability of a substance to either  stimulate or inhibit
hyper-proliferation of cells. Such uncontrolled cell proliferation is associated
with  diseases  such as cancer  and the  inhibition  of such  uncontrolled  cell
division  would  demonstrate  potential  of a  substance  for the  treatment  or
prevention of cancer.  These assay  "systems" can be used for both the discovery
and the confirmation of the specific biological activity of natural substances.


The Company believes that the results of its research coincide with the need for
sound scientific  understanding of herbal  medicines.  The Company's  technology
provides  tools for the definition of solid and valid  scientific  bases for the
beneficial  health  effects of herbal  medicines  and  dietary  supplements.  In
addition,  the Company has utilized its technology to screen and identify active
substances contained within its library of traditional Chinese medicines.

The  Company  has  the  ability  to  develop  novel   procedures  for  detecting
biologically  relevant  activities of complex  mixtures of compounds (such as in
the herbal extracts) or of the active constituents thereof. These procedures are
generally referred to as bioassays.

The Company's  assay  technology  enables  researchers to measure the effects of
chemicals  contained in synthetic  and natural  compounds on normal and abnormal
cell division and other  biological  processes.  The ability to conduct in vitro
screening of  biological  activity,  quickly  without  lengthy and costly animal
testing,  is a significant  innovation for  researchers  in the  pharmaceutical,
agrochemical, herbal supplement and environmental testing industries.

Typically,  the Company will  investigate  the effect of a compound on a disease
(such as cancer)  or a symptom  (such as  depression).  The  Company  scientists
conduct in depth research of the scientific literature and review the results of
successful clinical trials to establish the best scientific  explanation for the
positive results seen in such trials.  Based on their review,  they identify the
biological  mechanism  which,  if  activated,  would best  explain the  positive
clinical  results.  Such  biological  mechanisms  could  be,  for  example,  the
inhibition of Seratonin  re-uptake by brain cells which can produce a well known
and clinically significant  anti-depressant  effect. By defining such mechanisms
of action associated with a wide variety of biological effects, including immune
stimulation,  anti-inflammatory activity, and anti-oxidant activity, the Company
scientists  can then test a wide  variety  of  natural  materials  in "in vitro"
models which demonstrate these effects for the purpose of either  discovering or
confirming these biological activities.  Such discovery or confirmation provides
the  Company  with the basis for its  Quality  Assurance  Certification,  BioFIT
(Bio-functional  Integrity  Testing)  and for its  ongoing  product  development
activities.

In another example,  the Company  developed and patented an assay to measure the
degree to which an enzyme associated with cell division,  CDK, is expressed by a
cancer cell when that cell is exposed to a potentially  efficacious  anti-cancer
substance.  Because the  Company's  research  has  established  a high degree of
correlation between the  over-expression of CDK and the continued  proliferation
of many types of cancer cells, determining the ability of a substance to inhibit
the  over-expression  of CDK may lead to  development  of effective  anti-cancer
compounds or cancer protective agents.


Paracelsian  develops  bioassay-based  products  that  are  used  as  diagnostic
screening  tools in  markets  where  there is a need to  quantify,  quickly  and
easily, the effects of single compounds as well as complex mixtures of chemicals
on cellular and  biochemical  function.  Once the  bioassays are developed for a
specific  use,  the  Company  licenses  the  products  and  technology  to  well
positioned  commercialization  partners within each targeted market. The Company
expects to receive most of its future  revenues from the royalties and licensing
fees generated by the licensing agreements.

                                      -2-
<PAGE>

The Company's marketing and development program for bioassay products focuses on
large  commercial  markets where: (1) there is a well established need for tools
capable of  screening  complex  versus  simple  mixtures of  molecules;  (2) the
biotechnology-based  approach to screening  offers a significant cost or quality
improvement   versus  the  current   approach,   and  (3)  the   acceptance   of
biotechnology-based screening tools in that industry is at an early stage.

To date, the Company has developed  specific  need-driven  bioassay  systems for
three markets:  (1) herbal supplements (2) environmental  testing,  and (3) drug
discovery and development.

The herbal supplement market presents the opportunity to commercialize a quality
assurance  program that identifies the bioactivity  present in herbal  products,
which are complex mixtures of substances.  This product is a significant advance
versus current practices for verifying the quality and the bioactivity of herbal
products.  This is the  Company's  BioFIT(TM)  Quality  Assurance  Certification
program.  The Company entered into an agreement with R.P.  Scherer North America
in July 1998 that  established  R.P.  Scherer  as the  exclusive  marketing  and
distribution agent for the BioFIT(TM) Certification program in North America. In
a related  agreement,  R.P.  Scherer was also granted the European rights to use
the BioFIT(TM)  program with its soft-gel products in the dietary supplement and
OTC markets.  The agreements allow R. P. Scherer exclusive use of the BioFIT(TM)
Quality Assurance  Certification  program for a line of herbal supplements to be
offered  in a  softgel  capsule  form.  R.  P.  Scherer,  acting  as a  contract
manufacturer, will market the product line to wholesale customers worldwide. The
initial roll out of five herbal products, along with the commencement of revenue
to the Company is anticipated to begin in the first quarter of 1999. The Company
anticipates  that the  agreement  will  result  in the  payment  of  significant
development fees and licensing revenues to the Company in 1999.

Within the environmental and toxicological  screening  markets,  Paracelsian has
begun the initial phase of a  collaboration  with Kubota  Corporation  of Osaka,
Japan to further develop and implement the use of Paracelsian's  patented dioxin
testing  system  know  as  the  Ah  Immunoassay(TM). Under this   collaboration,
Paracelsian  will  develop an  advanced  sample  preparation  system  which will
facilitate  the  widespread  use of the assay to monitor the levels of dioxin in
the smoke and ash of municipal waste incinerators operated by Kubota and others.
An  initial  payment of $38,000  was  received  by  Paracelsian  in March  1999.
Payments for the balance of the clean up development  program are expected to be
approximately  $300,000 and are  anticipated  to be received by September  1999.
Paracelsian  and  Kubota  have  begun  negotiations  for  a  more  comprehensive
agreement under which Kubota would pay Paracelsian a license fee for the use and
distribution of the Ah Immunoassay.  Under this  arrangement,  Paracelsian would
receive


                                      -3-
<PAGE>


both an initial  license fee and an ongoing  payment for each use or sale of the
assay,  with a minimum annual  payment  required under the agreement to maintain
exclusivity.


Within the drug discovery  market,  the Company has entered into a collaborative
research agreement with the Southern Research  Institute.  Under this agreement,
the Southern  Research  Institute will test a series of the Company's TCM herbal
extracts for "in vivo"  anti-tumor  activity  against  human  breast  cancer and
prostate  cancer.  The  companies  will  jointly  license  and market  promising
products identified in the clinical studies.

Until 1998,  the  Company's  strategy was to conduct  "in-house"  discovery  and
development of natural drug compounds.  The strategy culminated in an attempt to
launch a proprietary  herbal  supplement to enhance the immune  system.  In late
1997,  the FDA ruled that the  targeting of the product to those with cancer and
HIV made the product a potential drug subject to the testing  requirement of new
drug compounds.

The new management team that was appointed after the January 1998 Biomar capital
infusion  refocused  the  Company's  business  strategy.   Current  management's
priority  is  to  create  current  income  and  increase  shareholder  value  by
maximizing  the revenue  potential of the Company's  portfolio of patented assay
technologies through licensing  agreements and joint venture  opportunities with
outside  partners.  The Company will still devote  resources to the discovery of
herbal  compounds  that have the  potential  to become  patented  pharmaceutical
products.

In 1999,  the Company  will  continue to pursue the  following  strategies:  (i)
Identify  and develop  new markets in  industries  which will  benefit  from the
adoption of the bioassay  testing  technologies;  (ii) Form  co-development  and
licensing  partnerships  in these new markets with the industry  leaders;  (iii)
Structure  development  agreements that will provide up front licensing payments
and on-going royalties from partnership revenues;  and (iv) Promote the bioassay
technologies  as the "Industry  Benchmark"  within these new  industries.  These
strategies will be executed by focusing the Company's primary  activities on the
following three areas:

                  (1) Quality  Assurance.  The Company researches the scientific
literature  to  determine  the  mechanisms  of action  for  herbal or  botanical
products and develops  assays to determine the range of activity for each of the
biological  functions  the  product  could  affect.  The  Company  then uses its
proprietary technology to evaluate these products based on how they perform in a
scientifically  selected battery of functional  tests. If the product  generates
activity  within the proper range for each of the activities  being tested,  the
product is certified as BioFIT(TM),  or "Bio Functional  Integrity  Tested," the
Company's trademarked designation. BioFIT(TM) assays confirm consistent in vitro
biological  activities within a carefully defined range, closely associated with
the benefit  claims on the product's  label.  The Company  intends to market the
BioFIT(TM)  designation to producers of herbal medicines and dietary supplements
which the Company  believes  will enable these  producers  to (i)  differentiate
their  products  from  similarly  labeled  products  based  on  their  products'
consistent  delivery of the  benefits  claimed by their  producers;  (ii) ensure
"batch  to  batch"  consistency  in the  production  of  their  products;  (iii)
eliminate  consumer  confusion as to "which  product to buy?";  and (iv) provide
more "consistent"  products and information in the herbal and dietary supplement
market.  The Company is completing  initial  BioFIT(TM)  certifications for five
herbal  products.  Assays to test  these  products  are in the  final  stages of
development.  The Company is also  working  with the trade  associations  of the
herbal and dietary supplement market to test product functionality.


The Company entered into a letter  agreement with R.P.  Scherer North America in
July 1998 (followed by a definitive  contract in October 1998) that  established
R.P. Scherer as the exclusive marketing and distribution agent for Paracelsian's
herbal quality assurance product, the BioFIT(TM)  Certification program in North
America. R. P. Scherer, a subsidiary of Cardinal Health of St. Louis, MO, is the
largest  manufacturer  of soft-gel  capsules for use in the  pharmaceutical  and
dietary  supplement  industries.  R.P.  Scherer  intends  to use the  BioFIT(TM)
program with its soft-gel  products in the dietary  supplement  and OTC markets.
The  agreement  provides  for  several  different  methods  of  compensation  to
Paracelsian:

                  (i) Paracelsian  will receive $50,000 in development  fees for
each of the first five  customers  accepting  the program.  The initial  payment
under this  section was received in January 1999 and the balance of the $250,000
is expected to be received not later than June 30, 1999.

                  (ii)  Paracelsian  will receive an additional  $50,000 payment
per product for the development of five additional  products beyond the original
five provided under the agreement. These payments are to be made upon acceptance


                                      -4-
<PAGE>


of the new  products  by at least  two of  Scherer's  customers  for the  BioFIT
products.  The first  portion of the first  payment  has been  received  and the
balance of the $250,000 is payable by the end of calendar year 1999.

                  (iii) Scherer also agreed to pay  Paracelsian  $15,000 for the
BioFIT  Certification  of a  second  group  of five  products.  These  payments,
totaling $75,000 are expected by the end of calendar year 1999.

                  (iv)  Scherer   agreed  to  pay   Paracelsian   $350  for  the
certification of each production batch of each BioFIT product produced under the
program.  Payments for batch to batch  certification are expected to commence by
August, 1999.

   
                  (v)  Scherer  agreed to pay  Paracelsian  a  royalty  of 2% of
Scherer's  net  sales of  BioFIT  products  until  Paracelsian  receives  patent
approval of its process. Upon patent approval,  the royalty rate increases to 3%
of Scherer's net sales. The initial term of the agreement is 18 months following
the date of first  commercial  shipment.  In the  initial  18  months  following
initial  shipment,  Scherer  must pay a minimum  of  $400,000  in  royalties  to
Paracelsian in order to maintain  exclusivity of the BioFIT Program.  After this
initial period,  Scherer must pay Paracelsian a minimum of $700,000 in royalties
in the  subsequent  12  month  period  to  maintain  exclusivity.  There is a 3%
escalation  required each year over  royalties paid in the prior 12 month period
for Scherer to maintain ongoing exclusivity.  Payments under this section of the
agreement are expected to commence in the third quarter of calendar year 1999.

On March 1, 1999,  Paracelsian  entered into a second letter agreement with R.P.
Scherer Limited of Swindon,  England under which  Paracelsian  grants  exclusive
distribution  rights to Scherer for the BioFIT  program in Europe,  Scandinavia,
the Middle East and Africa.  Under the letter agreement (which is to be followed
by a definitive agreement), Scherer agreed to pay Paracelsian a total of $30,000
for each of the first five products offered,  said payment to occur on the basis
of $20,000 per product upon submission for regulatory  approval and $10,000 upon
receipt of approval for each product.  Scherer then has an exclusivity period of
24 months for each product from the date of regulatory approval.  Scherer agreed
to  provide a  schedule  for  regulatory  submission  with  initial  submissions
expected to be filed by June 1999.  Revenue of  $100,000 is expected  under this
section  of the  agreement  in 1999.  Within  six  months of the  expiration  of
exclusivity  for the first  product,  the parties  agree to  negotiate a further
agreement  which is to include revenue  guarantees to Paracelsian.  Scherer also
agreed to pay a $25,000  development  fee to  Paracelsian  for each  product not
developed  concurrently  with R.P.  Scherer North America.  Paracelsian  expects
payment of $75,000 in calendar year 1999 for such development fees. Scherer paid
Paracelsian  $50,000 on March 29, 1999  representing  an advance  against future
royalty   payments.   Scherer  will  also  pay  Paracelsian   $15,000  for  each
certification  not  already  provided  under the North  American  Agreement  and
$350.00  for the  certification  of each batch of product  produced  that is not
certified under the North American Agreement.
    


One of the herbal supplements being evaluated for the R. P. Scherer Agreement is
Echinacea.  In the  dietary  supplement  industry,  claims  have  been made that
Echinacea  acts as an  immune  system  enhancer.  R. P.  Scherer  provided  five
commercially  available Echinacea products for the Company to evaluate using the
BioFIT(TM)   Certification   program.   The  results  of  the   evaluation   are
illustrative.

After conducting a literature search and performing direct research, the Company
scientists  identified  the  TNF-alpha  protein as the  "mechanism of action" or
biomarker for the stimulation induced in human immune cells.  Company scientists
then tested each  supplement  with the BioFIT(TM)  Echinacea  Assay to see which
product was more effective in stimulating the TNF-alpha  marker.  The results of
the test are summarized in Table 2.

Table 2 clearly  indicated  that Brand C has the greater effect on the TNF-alpha
marker.  The evaluation  also shows the wide range of  bioactivity  found in the
different  samples.  Ordinarily,  there  would be no way to test the effect of a
complex herbal  compound on the TNF-alpha  response.  Researchers  would have to
identify  the  compound  in the herb that they  thought  stimulated  the  immune
response in humans.  They would then test their product for the concentration of
that compound and compare it to a benchmark concentration.

In the case of Echinacea, some manufacturers standardize their product against a
phenolic acid that is found only in Echinacea  under the  assumption  that it is
the active  ingredient  which  results in the  benefits  claimed  for the herbal
supplement. Paracelsian scientists have found that it is possible to standardize
the product for its  concentration  of the phenolic acid and have no bioactivity
that would affect the human immune system.

The  BioFIT(TM)  Assay allows R. P.  Scherer to identify the herb samples  which
have an effect on human immune cells  without  having to conduct human or animal
clinical trials and offers an inexpensive way of accurately  identifying sources
of raw material which have high levels of the relevant bioactivity. In addition,
R.P.  Scherer  can  evaluate,   quickly  and  easily,   its  competitors  herbal
supplements.


                                    TABLE 2


This new BioFIT(TM)  Certification  Program which utilizes a unique "functional"
approach to quality  assurance will provide the natural products  consumers more
accurate  information  when  purchasing  herbs  and  other  botanical  products.
BioFIT(TM)  Certification  is based on demonstrated  biological  activity in the
product and goes beyond  current  analytical  techniques  that only  measure the
presence or absence of certain marker compounds.


The BioFIT  process is  intended  as an  additional  step in  providing  quality
assurance,   not  an  all  inclusive  process.   The  provision  of  the  BioFIT
Certification of functionality is given only after Paracelsian has been provided
with  appropriate  analytical  and safety  documentation.  This insures that the
product is what it says it is, is free from  adulterants,  contaminants or other
dangerous constituents, and, with the addition of the BioFIT Certification, that
the product delivers on its promised benefits.


BioFIT(TM)  Quality  Assurance  Certification  bridges the gap between  chemical
assay methods of validation  versus the use of animal and human clinical  trials
to validate the  effectiveness of natural products relative to the structure and
function  claims being made. The BioFIT process is not intended to replace or be
a substitute  for either  human or animal  trials or any other long term testing
method aimed at establishing clinical efficacy of subject materials.  Rather, it
is intended to confirm that a minimum level of biological activity,  relevant to
the positive  clinical effect seen in human and/or animal trials,  is present at
the time of  production  and  throughout  the  entire  shelf-life  of the herbal
product  being  evaluated.  Such  biological  activity may be, for example,  the
inhibition  of  neurotransmitter  re-uptake by brain cells when treated with the
test  material.  Such  neurotransmitter  re-uptake is  associated  with clinical
anti-depressant  activity  as in  the  example  of the  well  known  and  widely
prescribed pharmaceutical compounds Prozac and Zoloft.


The Company's BioFIT Quality  Assurance program is an example of how the Company
applies its core technologies to the solution of real world business challenges.
The BioFIT program represents a significant step forward in assuring the quality
of natural  products that are sold for the  maintenance of normal  structure and


                                      -6-
<PAGE>


function of the body and its systems.  The superiority of BioFIT is based on its
ability to insure  consumers  that,  when consumed,  herbal  products  provide a
consistent, minimum, significant level of biological activity that is related to
successful  clinical  trials with that herb in which the benefit being suggested
was verified.  Current quality assurance programs for herbs only verify that the
herb is the  correct  herb,  that it is free of  adulterants,  contaminants  and
pathogens.  But current  quality  assurance,  even in its most advanced state by
which presumed active compounds are identified and standardized,  falls short of
providing the  necessary  confirmation  of benefits  claimed when the product is
consumed.  This is because the presumed  active or active  fractions of the herb
are not always those that are  responsible for its  functionality.  For example,
St. John's Wort, long sold based on the basis of "hypericin"  content,  actually
provides its natural mood supporting  benefits through a complex  interaction of
many fractions and seems to derive its most significant beneficial effect from a
totally different  compound,  "hyperforin." The BioFIT  Certification  builds on
existing  quality  assurance  systems in several  ways.  First and  foremost  it
focuses on the single most important reason consumers purchase herbal products -
their ability to deliver on their benefit claims.  Because  standardization does
not assure bio-activity,  there is no way for consumers to know that the product
is active when  consumed.  Indeed,  even  clinical  trials are imperfect in this
regard as it is not uncommon for a large percentage of study subjects to realize
no  benefit  at all from  consuming  the  herb,  even  though  the  study may be
considered successful and the basis for product claims.


The BioFIT process builds on both analytical  quality  assurance  systems and on
prior clinical trials by providing an "as consumed"  certification of biological
activity that, based on Paracelsian's research, is both relevant to the activity
responsible for the positive  clinical  effect and of a magnitude  comparable to
that  seen with the  clinically  proven  product.  This  certification  includes
another  dimension not ever  considered  in  traditional  analytical  methods of
quality assurance. This is the inclusion of digestion and absorption models that
are designed to model the  conditions  in the body and  determine if the product
can indeed produce significant  biological activity for the consumer once it has
been consumed.

In addition,  since herbal products are sold as dietary supplements and intended
for the maintenance of normal structure and function of the human body, there is
no way for  consumers to  determine  whether or not the product is of benefit to
them until something  happens to demonstrate that it is not. And the claims that
are being made for herbal products are also based on clinical trials with people
who have some health condition requiring remedial  treatment.  They are not done
with people who are normal and healthy to insure that they stay that way.

In summary,  the BioFIT  process  does not  replace,  but rather  extends,  in a
totally novel  fashion,  the degree to which  consumers can be assured that they
are indeed  receiving the benefits for which they are paying.  And by moving the
quality bar higher it further assures that products of little  functional  value
are  eventually  removed  from store  shelves  and  replaced  with those of true
benefit.

                  (2) Product  Discovery  and  Development.  The Company owns an
extract library of approximately  2,764 Traditional  Chinese Medicines and other
plant  materials   which  it  has  screened  using  its  proprietary   screening
technology.  Through this screening process, the Company has identified ten (10)
potential  therapeutic  compounds  that the  Company  intends  to target as drug
candidates.

In July 1998, the Company entered into a collaborative  research  agreement with
the  Southern  Research  Institute  ("SRI") in  Birmingham,  Alabama.  Under the
Agreement,  the  scientists  from the two  companies  will work to identify  and
develop  compounds,  such as  Andrographalide,  from the  Company's  TCM extract
library, which have the potential to become anti-cancer pharmaceuticals. Several
of the most promising  extracts and  Andrographalide  are the subjects of animal
trials currently  underway at SRI.  Management  expects to obtain the results of
the animal tests in the Spring of 1999. If the results are positive, SRI and the
Company  intend to proceed with the next phase of clinical  trials.  The goal of
the  SRI/Paracelsian  collaboration  is to partner  with a major  pharmaceutical
partner to develop any potential drug  candidates in the shortest  possible time
period.

                  (3)   Environmental    Screening.   The   Company's   patented
Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM) detects  potentially  toxic  dioxins in the  environment  and
provides  quick,  accurate  and  inexpensive  results  compared  to  traditional
analytical  techniques.  The  potential  applications  for  this  assay  include
commercial  incinerators,  the organic farming industry and the general field of
environmental management.

                                      -7-
<PAGE>


The Company has decided to focus its marketing and distribution resources on the
use of the  Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)  to detect dioxins in the Japanese market for the
following  reasons:  (1) Japan has a serious dioxin pollution  problem for which
the  government has only recently begun to enforce  emission  requirements;  (2)
incinerators  that do not meet government  emission  requirements are being shut
down,  causing  disruption  in many  industries;  (3) unlike the US and  Western
European  governments,  the Japanese  government  has not imposed  standards and
types of  tests to be used in  monitoring  pollution  discharge  and as a result
companies  are more open to new  technologies  which save money;  and (4) unlike
their  counterparts  in  the  US  and  Western  Europe,  industry  leaders  have
acknowledged  that dioxin is a problem.  Paracelsian has begun the initial phase
of a collaboration  with Kubota  Corporation of Osaka,  Japan to further develop
and implement an advanced  sample  preparation  system which will facilitate the
widespread use of the assay to monitor the levels of dioxin in the smoke and ash
of  municipal  waste  incinerators  operated  by Kubota and  others.  An initial
payment of $38,000 was received by Paracelsian  in March 1999.  Payments for the
balance of the clean up  development  program are  expected to be  approximately
$300,000 and are anticipated to be received by September  1999.  Paracelsian and
Kubota have begun  negotiations for a more  comprehensive  agreement under which
Kubota would pay  Paracelsian a license fee for the use and  distribution of the
Ah  Immunoassay.  Under this  arrangement,  Paracelsian  would  receive  both an
initial  license  fee and an ongoing  payment for each use or sale of the assay,
with  a  minimum  annual  payment  required  under  the  agreement  to  maintain
exclusivity.


Future  revenues  are  anticipated  to be derived  from  sales of the  Company's
products and services  that are  currently  under  development  and royalties in
connection with licensing of its technology.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to attain such  revenues in  sufficient  amounts to achieve
profitable operations. Results of operations in the future will be influenced by
numerous factors, including the ability of the Company to develop and manage the
introduction of its new services,  market acceptance of the Company's  services,
competition and the ability to control costs.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Paracelsian is a development stage  biotechnology  start-up  company.  The $17.4
billion  Biotechnology  Industry  grew 19% in 1997.  According to Ernst & Young,
public  companies  account for $14.0  billion in revenues.  Their  revenues were
derived from the following sources.

     TOTAL REVENUES                 $14,032         22%            100%

The industry has experienced significant revenue growth over the last few years,
especially in the Product  Sales  category and as a result the industry is close
to reaching the break-even  point. For public  companies,  the industry net loss
fell to $1.8 billion in 1997  compared to a $2.2 billion net loss on revenues of
$11.5 billion in the previous year.

Ernst & Young segments the Products  Sales  category  identified in Table 3 into
six markets.  They are: (1)  Diagnostic  tools,  which  includes blood and other
medical  diagnostic  tests;  (2)  Therapeutic,  which includes human health care

                                      -8-
<PAGE>

products such as drug products and vaccines;  (3)  Agricultural,  which includes
microbial crop protectants,  plant genetics,  food processing and animal health;
(4)  Supplier,  which  includes  instrumentation,  lab supplies and reagents and
other similar products; (5) Chemical, environmental and services category, which
includes fine chemicals, environmental diagnostics and bio-remediation;  and (6)
Break Away  companies,  which are engaged in the  transfer  and  application  of
biotechnological innovations to new markets.

"Break-away"   biotechnology   companies   such  as   Paracelsian   apply  their
biologically   based  tools  and  technologies  to  markets  where   traditional
technologies  such as  analytical  chemistry are industry  benchmarks.  The more
successful  "break-away"  company products provide  significant  advantages over
non-biotechnology  based  competitors.  The other  segments of the industry have
been  slow to  recognize  substantial  profits  because  of  higher  development
expenses and agencies. The federal approval process for biotechnology  medicines
is both  lengthy  and  expensive.  According  to a study by the U.S.  Office  of
Technology Assessment, it costs $200 million to $350 million and takes from 7 to
12 years for a product to move  through the drug  development  and FDA  approval
process, before the products can be sold.

COMPETITION

The major  competitors  for  BioFIT(TM)  are  laboratories  that have  expertise
working with biological  assays.  Two industries outside of the biotech industry
that could potentially compete are clinical testing labs and toxicology and food
safety  laboratories.  Major  laboratories  that provide  testing  services on a
national basis include Smith Klein, Quest Diagnostics,  Inc. and Laboratory Corp
of America.  These and other  toxicology  and food testing  laboratories  do not
provide biofunctional testing that can demonstrate bioactivity of the supplement
consistent  with the benefits  claimed.  Some  manufacturers  provide  "batch to
batch" testing to insure  manufacturing  consistency.  None of the manufacturers
test  to  see  if  the  supplement,   when  ingested  according  to  directions,
demonstrates   bioactivity   associated   with  the  benefits   claimed  by  the
manufacturer.


It is well  know  that  both  the U.S.  Pharmacopoeia  and the  American  Herbal
Products  Association have been working hard to establish  analytical  standards
for herbal dietary supplements.  Both organizations have been presented with the
BioFIT  concept and in each case there was an acceptance of the viability of the
concept.   The  first  challenge  for  both   organizations  is,  however,   the
standardization  of these  products  to make sure that  they meet  standards  of
identity,  not functionality.  The American Herbal Products Association has made
statements that they believe that functional  testing of the type represented by
the BioFIT  process is a high priority for the industry in improving the quality
of herbal  products.  Neither  organization  has  suggested  that  standardizing
herbals  based on  analytical  techniques  should  be the end  point of  quality
assurance.  Rather,  both  believe  it is a step  on a more  lengthy  continuum.
Therefore,  the  activities  of  these  and  other  organizations,   Paracelsian
Management  believes,  pose  no  risk  to  the  successful   implementation  and
acceptance of the BioFIT concept, either by industry or by consumers.


The  Company  is  aware  of  a  number  of  other  firms  that  have   developed
environmental  field tests, but attempts to develop an  antibody-based  test for
all dioxins have been unsuccessful.  The introduction of the  Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)
provides the first receptor-based  environmental testing system.  Although there
is no single product  presently in the marketplace  that competes  directly with
the Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM),  organizations in the field of environmental testing are
potential  competitors.   Many  large  companies  with  extensive  research  and
development,  marketing, financial and other capabilities, as well as government
funded institutions and smaller research firms are engaged in the development of
diagnostic assays for environmental applications.  A significant majority of the
diagnostic tests developed for these companies, however, are designed for use in
laboratories that require sophisticated instrumentation and skilled technicians.
The  Company  has  designed  its  Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)  as an  inexpensive,  quick
turnaround   methodology   for  use  by   minimally   skilled   personnel.   The
Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)  method  does not  currently  compete  with  laboratory-based
systems.  Gas Chromatography  with Mass Spectrometry  ("GC/MS") is the "state of
the  art"  procedure   used  for   identifying   and  evaluating   volatile  and
semi-volatile  compounds in the environment.  The  instrumentation  required for
this analysis is extremely  expensive  and requires  highly  trained  personnel.
Pricing  for the GC/MS and other  comparable  tests  average  about  $4,500  per
sample.  The  Company  believes  that the costs of using the  Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)
offer a significant  savings over those of testing with GC/MS.  It also believes
that the  Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)  is as sensitive  for  detecting  small  amounts of
contaminant as is the GC/MS method.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

There  are a  number  of  small  biotechnology  companies  that  focus  on  drug
discovery.  The  Company  competes  on  the  basis  of  the  combination  of its
therapeutic focus on anti-proliferative diseases, its novel screening technology
and its large library of Chinese extracts with data on historical use.

DEPENDENCE ON A KEY DISTRIBUTOR AND CERTAIN INDUSTRIES

                  The Company's  initial  revenues are highly dependent upon the
ability  to  market  the  BioFIT(TM)  designation  in  the  herbal  and  dietary
supplement  market.  The Company has entered  into an  agreement  with a leading
manufacturer  of herbal and other  dietary  supplement  products to serve as the
Company's  exclusive agent for the marketing and  distribution of its BioFIT(TM)
Certification  Program.  The Company must therefore rely to a substantial degree
on this company for the successful and timely launch of its BioFIT(TM)  program.
Failure to launch BioFIT(TM) in a timely manner or failure to secure an adequate
number of customers  could have a material  adverse  effect on the Company.  The
Company's  operations  could also be  materially  and  adversely  affected  by a
general economic decline in the herbal and dietary supplement industries.

PATENTS


   
Much of the  value of the  Company's  research  is  derived  from  the  bioassay
technologies  developed  and  applied to the work on herbal drug  discovery  and
cancer screening programs. Although the concept of using bioassays as a means of
identifying  important biological activities is a standard research procedure in
the biotech  industry and usually cannot be patented,  the Company has developed
significant experience and proprietary  "know-how".  Where possible, the Company
has applied for product and process patents. In the course of its research,  the
Company  obtained 3 US and foreign  patents  prior to 1998 for the Dioxin  Assay
Systems   which  cover  a  wide  range  of  commercial   applications   for  the
Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)  and other assay  technologies.  During 1998, the Company was
granted two additional  patents.  One (claims accepted as of March but no patent
number  assigned  to date)  uses the  Ah-IMMUNOASSAY(TM)  as a novel  method  of
identifying  compounds  that  may be  effective  against  HIV  and  other  viral
infections.  The second (Patent No.  5,833,994  granted in November)  relates to
using the CDK1 Assay to quantify  cancer  causing  activity of test  substances,
even  those  that have  been  previously  thought  to be  non-genotoxic  and /or
non-mutagenic.  The Company's  scientists  have been using the Assay to test the
TCM library for cancer  treatments.  There are 2 additional US patents filed and
pending.  The Company is actively  seeking  partners to fully develop the market
potential of these patents. Patents have a statutory duration of twenty years.

The two patents for the Dioxin Assay  Systems were granted in March  (Patent No.
5,496,703)  and June  (Patent  No.  5,529,899)  of 1996 and are held by  Cornell
Research Foundation, Inc. ("Cornell Foundation"), which has granted an exclusive
license to the Company for the life of the patents in return for 195,190  shares
of Common Stock of the Company.  The Company has the right to grant sub-licenses
under the  license  agreement.  The license  agreement  also  provides  that the
Cornell  Foundation  intends to  maintain a passive  non-voting  position in the
Company.
    


The Company  believes  that patent  protection  of  materials  or  processes  it
develops  and any  products  that may result  from the  Company's  research  and
development  efforts are  important to the possible  commercialization  of these
products.  However,  there can be no assurance  that the Company's  patents will
afford adequate protection to the Company or its licensees.  Further,  there can
be no  assurance  that any patents  that have been or may be issued will provide
the Company with  significant  protection  from  competitors.  Other private and
public entities may file applications for patents and other  proprietary  rights
to technology  which could be harmful to the  commercialization  of the services
and  products  developed  by the  Company.  The  ultimate  scope and validity of
patents  which are now owned by or which may be granted to third  parties in the
future,  the  extent to which the  Company  may wish or be  required  to acquire
rights under such patents, and the cost or availability of such rights cannot be
determined by the Company at this time.

The Company also relies on unpatented  proprietary  technology  and no assurance
can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent
proprietary  information or otherwise  gain access to the Company's  proprietary
technology  or that the  Company  can  meaningfully  protect  its rights in such
unpatented proprietary technology.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

In  addition,   although  all  of  the   Company's   employees  are  parties  to
confidentiality   agreements   which  are  intended  to  protect  the  Company's
proprietary  technology,  there can be no assurance  that any of such  employees
will not compromise any of the Company's proprietary rights.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

As a result of the passage of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of
1994 ("DSHEA"),  the dietary supplement  industry enjoys substantial  regulatory
flexibility.   The  legislation  creates  a  new  statutory  class  of  "dietary
supplements"  which is a subset  of food.  This  new  class  includes  vitamins,
minerals, herbs, other botanicals, amino acids and other dietary substances used
to  supplement  the diet.  DSHEA allows herbs and  botanicals to be regulated as
dietary  supplements so long as no claims are made that such dietary supplements
are intended for the  diagnosis,  cure,  mitigation,  treatment or prevention of
disease in humans or other animals.  If manufacturers or retailers  characterize
their  product in a way which crosses over the line into claims that are allowed
for drugs, the FDA has acted swiftly to remove the supplements from the market.

In North America the herbal segment of the dietary  supplement  market has grown
from less than $1 Billion to more than $3  Billion  since the  passage of DSHEA.
Manufacturers and retailers of herbal and botanical  supplements have seized the
opportunity  to  avoid  significant   regulatory  costs  and  FDA  oversight  by
identifying their products as a supplement under DSHEA. Large food manufacturers
and pharmaceutical  companies are moving into this marketplace with products for
which they can make structure/function claims.

Most  manufacturers  who have launched new products  under the DSHEA  guidelines
have  avoided  making  claims  about the  efficacy of their  product,  but,  the
resulting lack of  information  with which to explain the safety and efficacy of
their  products has created a high level of confusion in the minds of consumers.
As a result of the general  confusion as to the efficacy of supplements  and the
tremendous  increase  in the  number of herbal  and  botanical  products  on the
market,   consumers  are  demanding  more  reliable   information.   Unlike  the
regulations  governing  the drug  manufacturing  industries,  herbal  supplement
manufacturers  are not subject to well  defined  manufacturing  guidelines.  The
dietary  supplement  industry has been slow to go beyond  identifying the active
ingredients in their products.

The BioFIT(TM) program is designed to: (a) differentiate  those products able to
consistently  demonstrate  bio-activity  associated with the benefits claimed by
the  manufacturer  or retailer,  (b) ensure "batch to batch"  consistency in the
production of dietary  products,  (c) eliminate  consumer  confusion as to which
product to purchase,  and (d) provide a benchmark for evaluating the consistency
of the product.

The  BioFIT(TM)  Assay allows  identification  of the herb samples which have an
effect on human immune cells without having to conduct human or animal  clinical
trials and offers an inexpensive  way of accurately  identifying  sources of raw
material which have high levels of the relevant bioactivity. In addition, herbal
manufacturers  can  evaluate,   quickly  and  easily,  its  competitors'  herbal
supplements.  BioFIT(TM) Quality Assurance Certification bridges the gap between
chemical assay methods of validation versus the use of animal and human clinical
trials to  validate  the  effectiveness  of  natural  products  relative  to the
structure and function claims being made.

The Company does not anticipate that its drug discovery program will be effected
by governmental  regulations since the Company intends to license drug compounds
to  established   pharmaceutical   companies  prior  to  extensive  testing  and
development.

The health care industry is the subject of significant proposed legislation. The
Company cannot predict what new legislation might be enacted or what regulations
might be adopted or  amended,  or if  enacted,  adopted or  amended,  the effect
thereof on the Company's operations.  Any change in applicable law or regulation
may have a material effect on the business of the Company.

FUNDING OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

The Company  expended  $1,409,686  in 1997 and  $633,595 in 1998 on research and
development.

                                      -11-
<PAGE>

COSTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

The Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable  environmental laws
and the cost of such compliance to the Company has been minimal.

EMPLOYEES

In addition to Mr. Landes,  the Company employs 10 full and 2 part-time  people.
None  of  the  Company's  employees  are  covered  by  a  collective  bargaining
agreement.  The Company  considers  its  relationship  with its  employees to be
excellent.  All  employees  of the Company are  signatories  to  confidentiality
agreements that restrict  proprietary  right in, and commercial  development of,
all technology developed by the employees.

The Company does not currently  have a complete  management  team. Key positions
not yet filled include Chief Financial Officer,  Chief Operations Officer,  Vice
President of Science,  and Vice  President of Business  Development.  Presently,
these functions are performed by Bernard Landes,  Ph.D., the Company's Chairman,
President  and Chief  Executive  Officer,  as well as by certain  members of the
Company's Board of Directors.  The loss of the services of Mr. Landes could have
a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company's performance
depends on its ability to attract and retain qualified management, professional,
scientific,  sales and technical operating staff. There can be no assurance that
the Company will be able to continue to attract and retain qualified personnel.

ITEM 2. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTIES

The Company's  executive offices and research facilities are located at Langmuir
Laboratories in Ithaca, New York, and occupy  approximately 6,000 square feet at
that  location.  The Company  occupies  this space  under a one-year  lease from
Cornell  University,  which  expires in April 1999,  and provides for  automatic
renewals.  At this time, the Company  believes that this space is sufficient for
its administrative offices as well as currently  contemplated  manufacturing and
research and development activities.  However,  current initiatives underway, if
successful,  could require  expansion of both office and laboratory  space.  The
Company believes that the cost of the space is competitive.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In  addition to routine  litigation  that is  incidental  to its  business,  the
Company is a party to the following litigation:

                  PARACELSIAN,  INC.  V.  BABISH:  This  case  was  filed  in US
District  Court for the  Northern  District  of New York in April 1997  alleging
breach  of  fiduciary  duty,  wrongful  competition,   conversation,   trademark
infringement,  insider  trading and related  claims  against John G.  Babish,  a
former officer and director of the Company. Defendant counterclaimed for alleged
breach of contract  regarding stock warrants  issued to him by the Company.  The
case was dismissed by the court pursuant to a settlement  agreement  executed by
the parties  prior to September  30, 1998.  The  settlement  agreement  ends any
reasonable risk of potential loss to the Company arising from the subject matter
of the action.

                  HADYK,  ET AL.  V.  JOHN G.  BABISH,  ET AL.:  This  case  was
commenced  in New York State  Supreme  Court  (Onondaga  County) in June 1993 by
certain  persons,  individually  and  doing  business  as In  Vitro  Bioanalytic
Systems,  against the Company, Dr. John G. Babish, a former officer and director
of the  Company,  and Edward  Heslop,  a founding  shareholder  of the  Company,
primarily  as an action for money  damages  and  injunctive  relief  against the
Company for  alleged  misappropriation  of  proprietary  information  and unfair
competition.  The plaintiffs allege,  among other things, that in 1990, prior to
the Company's  incorporation,  a partnership has been formed with Messrs. Babish
and Heslop to commercialize  products that the Company was developing.  Damages,
an  accounting  and an  injunction  are being  sought  against the  Company.  By
decision  dated  September  14,  1994,  the  Court  dismissed   certain  of  the
plaintiffs'  claims against the Company while permitting a claim alleging unfair
competition to proceed. Discovery has been temporarily stayed pending resolution
of  a  motion  for  summary   judgment  brought  by  certain  of  the  Company's
co-defendants.  That motion, if successful, will fully resolve the

                                      -12-

case in favor of the Company.  The Company  believes that the suit against it is
without merit and intends to defend the case vigorously.

As of December  22,  1998,  the Company had  18,690,253  shares of Common  Stock
outstanding  held by 306  record  holders.  As of such  date,  the  Company  had
1,736,870 Warrants outstanding and 63 record holders of Warrants.

The Company did not pay cash dividends on the Common Stock during the two fiscal
years ended  September  30,  1998.  It is the  present  policy of the Company to
retain earnings,  if any, to finance the development and growth of its business.
Accordingly,  the Company does not  anticipate  that cash dividends will be paid
until  earnings  of the  Company  warrant  such  dividends,  and there can be no
assurance that the Company can achieve such earnings or any earnings.

ITEM 6.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

As a  development  stage  enterprise,  the Company,  since  inception,  has been
primarily engaged in research,  product engineering,  and capital formation.  As
such, the Company has not generated  significant revenues to date on a recurring
basis.

Since January 1998, a significant  portion of the new management team's strategy
has been focused on the development of its BioFIT(TM) (Bio Functional  Integrity
Tested)  quality  assurance  program.  This  unique  testing  program is able to
certify consistent  bio-functionality  of herbal and other dietary  supplements.
This new  "functional"  approach to quality  assurance will assist  consumers in
selecting  herbs  and  other  botanical  products  based on  their  demonstrated
biological activity,  rather than relying solely on analytical  techniques which
measure only the presence or absence of certain marker compounds.


On July 9, 1998, the company entered into a letter  agreement with R.P.  Scherer
North  America  (followed  by  a  definitive  contract  in  October  1998)  that
established  Scherer as the exclusive  marketing and distribution  agent for the
BioFIT(TM)  certification  program  in the  dietary  supplement  and OTC  market
segments in North America.  The agreement provided for several different methods
of  compensation  to  Paracelsian.  First,  Paracelsian  will receive $50,000 in
development fees for each of the first five customers accepting the program. The
initial  payment under this section was received in January 1999 and the balance
of the  $250,000 is expected to be  received  not later than June 30,  1999.  In
addition, Paracelsian will receive an additional $50,000 payment per product for
the  development of five  additional  products beyond the original five provided
under the agreement.  These  payments are to be made upon  acceptance of the new
products by at least two of Scherer's  customers  for the BioFIT  products.  The
first  portion of the first payment has already been received and the balance of
the $250,000 is payable by the end of calendar year 1999. Scherer also agreed to
pay  Paracelsian  $15,000 for the BioFIT  Certification  of a second set of five
products. These payments,  totaling $75,000, are expected by the end of calendar
year 1999 as well. In addition,  Scherer agreed to pay Paracelsian  $350 for the
certification of each production batch of each BioFIT product produced under the
program.  Payments for batch to batch  certification are expected to commence by
August  1999.  Finally,  Scherer  agreed to pay  Paracelsian  a royalty of 2% of
Scherer's  net  sales of  BioFIT  products  until  Paracelsian  receives  patent
approval of its process. Upon patent approval,  the royalty rate increases to 3%
of Scherer's net sales.  In the initial 18 months  following  initial  shipment,
Scherer must pay a minimum of $400,000 in royalties to  Paracelsian  in order to
maintain its  exclusivity  of the BioFIT  Program.  After this  initial  period,
Scherer must guarantee  Paracelsian a minimum of $700,000 in royalty payments in
the subsequent 12 month period to maintain exclusivity. There is a 3% escalation
required each year over  royalties paid in the prior 12 month period for Scherer
to maintain  ongoing  exclusivity.  Payments under this section of the agreement
are expected to commence in the third quarter of calendar year 1999.

On March 1, 1999,  Paracelsian entered into a second agreement with R.P. Scherer
Limited  of  Swindon,   England  under  which   Paracelsian   grants   exclusive
distribution  rights to Scherer for the BioFIT  program in Europe,  Scandinavia,
the  Middle  East  and  Africa.  Under  the  agreement,  Scherer  agrees  to pay
Paracelsian a total of $30,000 for each of the first five products offered, said
payment  to occur on the  basis of  $20,000  per  product  upon  submission  for
regulatory  approval  and $10,000  upon  receipt of approval  for each  product.
Scherer  then has an  exclusivity  period of 24 months for each product from the
date of regulatory approval. Scherer agrees to provide a schedule for regulatory
submission with initial  submissions  expected to be filed by June 1999. Revenue
of $100,000 is expected under this section of the agreement in 1999.  Within six
months of the expiration of exclusivity for the first product, the parties agree
to  negotiate a further  agreement  which is to include  revenue  guarantees  to
Paracelsian. Scherer also agrees to pay a $25,000 development fee to Paracelsian
for each product not developed  concurrently  with R.P.  Scherer North  America.
Paracelsian   expects  payment  of  $75,000  in  calendar  year  1999  for  such
development   fees.   Scherer  paid  Paracelsian   $50,000  on  March  29,  1999
representing an advance against these future royalty payments. Scherer will also
pay Paracelsian  $15,000 for each  certification  not already provided under the
North  American  Agreement  and $350.00 for the  certification  of each batch of
product produced that is not certified under the North American Agreement.


                                      -14-
<PAGE>


Finally,  Paracelsian is in discussions  with the R.P.  Scherer Division serving
the Pacific Rim,  Australia  and New Zealand,  and the  Division  serving  South
America. Agreements similar to those in North America and Europe are anticipated
not later than by the end of calendar year 1999.

In addition to the Scherer Agreement, Paracelsian has begun the initial phase of
a collaboration  with Kubota  Corporation of Osaka, Japan to further develop and
implement the use of Paracelsian's patented dioxin testing system know as the Ah
IMMUNOASSAY(TM). Under this collaboration,  Paracelsian will develop an advanced
sample  preparation system which will facilitate the widespread use of the assay
to  monitor  the  levels  of dioxin  in the  smoke  and ash of  municipal  waste
incinerators  operated by Kubota and others.  An initial  payment of $38,000 was
received by Paracelsian in March 1999.  Payments for the balance of the clean up
development   program  are  expected  to  be  approximately   $300,000  and  are
anticipated to be received by September 1999.  Paracelsian and Kubota have begun
negotiations  for a more  comprehensive  agreement  under which Kubota would pay
Paracelsian a license fee for the use and  distribution  of the Ah  Immunoassay.
Under this  arrangement,  Paracelsian  would receive both an initial license fee
and an ongoing payment for each use or sale of the assay,  with a minimum annual
payment required under the agreement to maintain exclusivity.

Paracelsian's  management  is  confident  that all  payments  under the  Scherer
agreements   will  be  made  on  a  timely  basis  and  is  confident  that  the
implementation  strategy  developed  collaboratively  by the two companies  will
result in widespread  acceptance in the  marketplace  for BioFIT products in all
areas into which they are introduced. In addition, Paracelsian is confident that
the Kubota agreement will provide substantial revenues in 1999 and continuing in
2000.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's fiscal '98 net loss of $2,008,000 is approximately $1,934,000 less
than the fiscal '97 loss of $3,942,000.  Although revenues increased from $6,100
in fiscal '97 to $55,700 in fiscal '98,  those  revenues are  incidental and not
representative of the Company's future plans and expectations.  The reduction in
the loss is primarily  attributable to reduced levels of  expenditures,  both in
research and development and general and administrative expenses.  Additionally,
fiscal '97 included  approximately  $300,000 of costs associated with an aborted
product  launch that were not  incurred in 1998.  In late 1997,  the Company had
begun to reduce  staff  levels and reduce  expenses to  conserve  cash after the
failed product  launch.  The successor  management team has continued to operate
throughout  1998 with  modest  staff  levels  and has  particularly  focused  on
resolving costly  litigation that had been a significant drain on both human and
financial  resources.  Management  views fiscal '98 as a  transitional  year, of
resolving  old  problems  and  redirecting  the  focus  of  the  Company  toward
generating a recurring and growing revenue stream.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 1998 the Company maintained working capital of approximately
$219,000 which  included  approximately  $250,000 of cash.  Subsequent to fiscal
year end,  in  December  1998,  the Company  raised  $250,000 in cash  through a
private  placement  of its  common  stock  at the  then  current  market  value.
Management  believes  that these  resources  are  adequate  to  provide  for its
operating  needs until such time as its  revenue  stream  commences.  Management
further believes that it can successfully  raise additional capital if necessary
to support its continued  operations  until such time as revenues are sufficient
to provide  internally  generated funds. The Company presently intends to pursue
additional  capital of $1 million to $1.5 million in the near term, if available
on  reasonable  terms,  to  provide  resources  for  the  hiring  of  additional
personnel,  expansion and/or relocation of lab facilities,  and the acceleration
of product  development  efforts.  Of  course,  there can be no  assurance  that
additional financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Company continues to monitor its exposure to the year 2000 computer problem.
Management  believes that all of the Company's date sensitive computer equipment
and  software is Y2K  compliant,  and is not aware of any

                                      -15-
<PAGE>

vendor or customer  Y2K  problems  that could have a  significant  impact on the
financial position or results of operations of the Company. To date, the Company
has not incurred any significant expense with respect to this issue and does not
anticipate any significant related expense in the future.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Paracelsian, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Paracelsian, Inc.
and  subsidiary (a development  stage  enterprise) as of September 30, 1998, and
the related  consolidated  statements of operations,  stockholders'  equity, and
cash flows for the years  ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997 and for the period
from April 15, 1991  (inception)  to  September  30,  1998.  These  consolidated
financial  statements are the  responsibility of the Company's  management.  Our
responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  these  consolidated  financial
statements  based  on our  audits.  The  cumulative  statements  of  operations,
stockholders'  equity,  and cash flows for the period April 15, 1991 (inception)
to  September  30,  1998  include  amounts  for the period  from April 15,  1991
(inception)  to  September  30, 1991 and for each of the years in the  four-year
period ending  September 30, 1995,  which were audited by other  auditors  whose
report has been  furnished to us, and our opinion,  insofar as it relates to the
amounts included for the period April 15, 1991 (inception) through September 30,
1995 is based solely on the report of the other auditors.

We  conducted  our  audits  in  accordance  with  generally   accepted  auditing
standards.  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,  based on our audits and the report of the other  auditors,  the
consolidated  financial  statements  referred to above  present  fairly,  in all
material respects, the financial position of Paracelsian, Inc. and subsidiary (a
development stage enterprise) as of September 30, 1998, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended  September 30, 1998 and 1997
and for the  period  April 15,  1991  (inception)  to  September  30,  1998,  in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

(1)    ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS, AND RISK FACTORS

       (a)    ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS

              Paracelsian, Inc., (the "Company") is a bio-science and technology
              company that  utilizes its  proprietary  screening  technology  to
              identify  novel  therapeutic   compounds  from  herbal  and  other
              botanical  sources and to define  and/or  confirm  the  biological
              mechanisms  through which  traditional  herbs and other botanicals
              provide the therapeutic or functional  benefits suggested by their
              traditional use. This technology has been developed by the Company
              to identify potential products that inhibit the biological signals
              generated  by  targeted   cells  that  result  in   controlled  or
              uncontrolled   growth  and  division.   The  Company's   screening
              technology  evaluates  the  effects of herbal and other  botanical
              products  on   intracellular   signals   referred  to  as  "Signal
              Transduction Technology."

              Cell  division is one of the basic steps in biology  necessary for
              normal growth of tissues to support life. The Company's technology
              enables researchers to observe signal transduction and measure the
              effects of chemicals  contained in synthetic or natural compounds,
              and chemicals  occurring in nature such as herbs and  combinations
              of  herbal  extracts,  on cell  division.  In the  course of these
              observations,  the  Company  can  distinguish  the effects of such
              chemicals  on  targeted  cells,  thereby  screening  compounds  to
              identify those with promising favorable therapeutic effects. (This
              proprietary   technology,   including  the  components,   methods,
              procedures  and know-how  employed in this screening  process,  is
              referred to herein as the "Screening Technology")

              In October 1994, Pacific Liaisons (Pacific), a partnership engaged
              in identifying and acquiring  biologically  active drugs,  natural
              products and foods from Eastern Asia,  merged with a  wholly-owned
              subsidiary  of the Company  and the Company now  maintains a large
              library of natural  medicinal  extracts.  These extracts are being
              processed  with the  Company's  screening  technology  to identify
              potential  candidates for drug or dietary supplement  development.
              The Company also has access to the informational  database related
              to the medicinal extracts,  which contains,  among other things, a
              history of the usage of each extract.

       (b)    DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY AND RISK FACTORS

              The Company is  considered  to be a  development  stage company as
              defined in  Statement  of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 7,
              "Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises." Since
              inception,  the Company has been  primarily  engaged in  research,
              product engineering and raising capital.

                                                                     (Continued)

                          (A Development Stage Company)

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1998 and 1997

              The  Company,  as a  development  stage  enterprise,  has  yet  to
              generate  significant revenues and has no assurance of substantial
              future revenues.  The Company is subject to a number of risks that
              may affect its ability to become an operating enterprise or impact
              its ability to remain in  existence,  including  risks  related to
              successful  development  and  marketing  of its  products,  patent
              protection  of  proprietary  technology,   government  regulation,
              competition from substitute products (including  technologies that
              may not yet have been developed),  dependence on key employees and
              the need to obtain  additional  funds that may not be available to
              it.

              As shown in the  accompanying  financial  statements,  the Company
              incurred a net loss of approximately $2,000,000 and $3,900,000 for
              the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and has
              working  capital of  approximately  $219,000 as of  September  30,
              1998.  The Company  continues to expend funds on product  research
              and development and general and administrative expenses,  however,
              under the  direction  of a new  management  team and  Board  since
              January,  1998,  expenditures  have been  reduced  from prior year
              levels,  and efforts have been  focused on  developing a recurring
              revenue  stream.  Management  anticipates  that  revenues from its
              BioFIT(TM)  quality  assurance  program will  commence in January,
              1999, and that revenues  associated  with its  AhIMMUNOASSAY  will
              also  commence  during the  second  quarter  of fiscal  1999.  The
              Company  raised  $250,000 of capital in  December,  1998 through a
              private  placement of common stock.  Management  believes that the
              combination of that additional capital and its anticipated revenue
              stream  will enable the Company to  continue  its  operations  and
              emerge from the development stage in 1999.


(2)    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       (a)    CONSOLIDATION

              The consolidated  financial  statements of the Company include the
              accounts of  Paracelsian,  Inc.  and its  wholly-owned  subsidiary
              ParaComm,  Inc.  formerly  known  as Para  Acquisition  Corp.  All
              intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

       (b)    CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

              Cash  equivalents  consist of highly  liquid  investments  with an
              original maturity of three months or less. The Company had no cash
              equivalents as of September 30, 1998.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1998 and 1997

       (c)    RESEARCH AND PRODUCT ENGINEERING

              Company-sponsored  research and product  engineering  expenditures
              have been  charged to expense as  incurred.  These  costs  consist
              primarily of employee  salaries and direct  laboratory  costs. The
              cost of extracts  used in research and  development  activities is
              expensed as consumed.

       (d)    INVENTORY

              Inventory  represents tablets of Andrographis  paniculata held for
              resale at cost.

              In the opinion of management  the inventory held by the Company as
              of  September  30,  1998  will  be  recovered  by the  sale of the
              ANDROGRAPHIS  PANICULATA  tablets during the year ending September
              30, 1999.

       (e)    NET LOSS PER SHARE


   
              For the year ended  September 30, 1998,  the Company  adopted SFAS
              No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS No. 128"). In accordance with
              this statement, primary net loss per common share is replaced with
              basic loss per common  share which is  calculated  by dividing net
              loss by the  weighted-average  number of common shares outstanding
              for the  period.  Fully  diluted  net  loss  per  common  share is
              replaced  with  diluted net loss per common share  reflecting  the
              maximum  dilutive effect of common stock issuable upon exercise of
              stock options, stock warrants, stock subscriptions, and conversion
              of  preferred  stock.  The  Company's  basic and diluted per share
              amounts are the same since the assumed  exercise of stock  options
              and warrants are  anti-dilutive and the Company has no outstanding
              stock subscriptions or convertible  preferred stock. The amount of
              common stock  equivalents excluded  from the  calculation  include
              options and warrants to purchase 4,842,703 and 3,790,203 shares of
              common stock at  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The
              adoption  of SFAS No. 128 had no affect on prior  period per share
              data.
    


              The computation of net loss per share is as follows:

       (f)    PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

              The  Company  has  acquired  or  applied  for  certain  patent and
              trademark  rights.  Costs  associated  with  the  acquisition  and
              application  for these rights have been  capitalized and are being
              amortized on the  straight-line  method over the  estimated  legal
              lives of the assets  which range from 15 to 17 years.  Accumulated
              amortization  of the patents  and  trademarks  totaled  $94,747 at
              September  30,  1998.  In 1997 the Company  wrote off the value of
              $162,770 related to patents and trademarks no longer being pursued
              by the Company.

       (g)    EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

              Equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated  over the estimated
              useful  lives  of  the  assets  using  the  straight-line  method.
              Equipment consists of the following at September 30, 1998:

              Depreciation  expense  of  $72,782  and  $96,598  was  charged  to
              operations  for the  years  ended  September  30,  1998 and  1997,
              respectively.

       (h)    INCOME TAXES

              Deferred tax assets and  liabilities are recognized for the future
              tax  consequences  attributable to differences  between  financial
              statement  carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and
              their  respective  tax bases  and  operating  loss and tax  credit
              carryforwards.  Deferred tax assets and  liabilities  are measured
              using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the
              years in which  those  temporary  differences  are  expected to be
              recovered  or  settled.  The  effect on  deferred  tax  assets and
              liabilities  of a change in tax rates is  recognized  in income in
              the period that includes the enactment date.

       (i)    USE OF ESTIMATES

              The  preparation  of  the  consolidated  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. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues
              and expenses  during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could
              differ from those estimates.


(3)    PRODUCT LAUNCH

       During  1997,  the Company  intended  to launch the  dietary  supplements
       AndroVir  and AndroCar to persons  with HIV and cancer  respectively.  In
       April 1997,  the Company was advised by the Food and Drug  Administration
       that the marketing of these products to persons with these diseases would
       constitute  claims that the products  are intended to treat  persons with
       serious  diseases  and  thus  intended  for  drug  use  and  not  dietary
       supplement use. After careful consideration the Company decided to cancel
       the launch. The Company incurred  approximately $300,000 of related costs
       which were expensed in the year ended  September 30, 1997. The underlying
       compound,  along  with  three  others  from the  Company's  inventory  of
       traditional Chinese medicine ("TCM") extracts,  is presently being tested
       on human cancer  tumors grown in  laboratory  mice under a  collaborative
       research  agreement with the Southern  Research  Institute in Birmingham,
       Alabama.  Management  intends  to use the test  results to  determine  an
       appropriate course of action for the further development and marketing of
       the product.

(4)    ACQUISITIONS

       (a)    EAST WEST HERBS, LTD.

              On April 9, 1996,  the  Company  signed an option to acquire  East
              West Herbs Ltd. of Kingham,  England. East West Herbs Ltd. markets
              and  distributes  traditional  Chinese  medicines  in  the  United
              Kingdom and  throughout  Europe.  Under  terms of the option,  the
              Company had the right to acquire all of the outstanding  shares of
              East West Herbs Ltd.  on or before  April 6, 1997 for  $780,000 in
              cash and  shares  of the  Company  with a value  of  approximately
              $2,400,000 for a total proposed acquisition price of $3.2 million.
              Consideration for the option was made in the form of an option fee
              of $20,000 and a working capital loan of $340,000. The loan was to
              be  used  by  East  West  Herbs  Ltd.  for  inventory   purchases,
              continuing research and development  including the clinical trials
              of two herbal products for cancer  patients and corporate  working
              capital.  In connection with the option and loan  agreements,  the
              Company also  incurred  other  direct costs of $92,866  which were
              written off in 1997  because  the Company  elected not to exercise
              its option.

              The  loan  originally   provided  for  repayment  in  eight  equal
              quarterly installments of $42,500 plus interest at the LIBOR rate.
              Since  making the first  installment  payment and related  accrued
              interest,  East West Herbs Ltd. has not made  additional  payments
              and is  currently  in default on the  obligation.  The parties are
              currently negotiating the terms of a work-out agreement that would
              provide  an  extension  of time (up to two  years)  for  principal
              repayment,  change the interest  rate to prime plus 2% and further
              collateralize the repayment obligation.  Management has determined
              that  this  note  is  impaired.   Accordingly,   the  Company  has
              classified  the entire  obligation  as  non-current,  deferred the
              recognition of related  interest income until  collected,  and has
              provided a reserve of $148,750 for collectibility.

              The  eventual  collectibility  of the loan will be subject to East
              West Herbs' ability to achieve profitable  operations and positive
              cash flow in the future and the financial  resources of the loan's
              guarantor.

       (b)    PACIFIC LIAISONS

              During  October  1994, a  wholly-owned  subsidiary  of the Company
              acquired Pacific Liaisons for approximately $1.6 million in common
              stock.  The  acquisition has been accounted for using the purchase
              method and the accompanying  statement of operations  includes the
              results of operations  of Pacific  Liaisons from October 25, 1994.
              The  allocation of the purchase  price was based on an independent
              appraisal of certain  assets  acquired  which include TCM extracts
              and a licensing  agreement.  The approximately  2,800 TCM extracts
              can  be  sold  outright  or  utilized  in  various   research  and
              development applications using the Company's screening technology.
              It is the  Company's  intention  to  sell/license  the extracts to
              established pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.  Effective
              October 1, 1995, the Company elected to begin  amortizing the cost
              of the TCM  extracts  on a straight  line  basis over a  five-year
              period,  which  represents  the  estimated  period  over which the
              extracts  will be used in the Company's  research and  development
              efforts.   Amortization  of  the  extracts  totaling  $155,600  is
              included  in  research  and  product  engineering  expense  in the
              accompanying consolidated statements of operations for each of the
              years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.

              Through the  licensing  agreement  with the Institute of Nutrition
              and Food  Hygiene,  an  institute  within the  Chinese  Academy of
              Preventive  Medicine,  the  Company  has the  exclusive  right  to
              acquire up to 10,000 additional extracts.  The licensing agreement
              is being  amortized  over a period  of five  years  commencing  in
              October  1994.  Amortization  of the  license  agreement  totaling
              $192,000 is included in research and product  engineering  expense
              in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for each
              of the years ended September 30, 1998 and 1997.


(5)    STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       (a)    COMMON STOCK OFFERINGS

              In January 1998, the Company sold 3,571,429 shares of common stock
              for $500,000 to Biomar International, Inc. ("Biomar"). Biomar also
              received  warrants to purchase an additional  2,871,429  shares of
              common  stock at a price  of  $520,000.  In  August  1998,  Biomar
              exercised its warrants.  Biomar became the major  shareholder  and
              has three of its representatives  serving on the nine member Board
              of Directors. Biomar is controlled by T. Colin Campbell a director
              of the  Company and his son,  T.  Nelson  Campbell,  a former Vice
              President of the Company and current director.

              The Company used the proceeds for working capital and research and
              development.

                           September 30, 1998 and 1997

       (b)    OTHER TRANSACTIONS

              In June 1996,  the Company  sold an investor  350,000  warrants at
              $.10 per warrant to  purchase  350,000  shares of common  stock at
              $5.25 per share.  The warrants could be exercised at any time over
              a three-year period. The cash received for the warrants of $35,000
              was reflected as an addition to additional  paid-in capital in the
              accompanying  consolidated  statement of stockholders'  equity for
              the year ended  September 30, 1996.  During fiscal year 1997,  the
              Company redeemed these warrants at a cost of $35,000.

              During the years ended  September  30, 1998 and 1997,  the Company
              issued 100,000 and 62,500 shares of common stock, respectively, in
              exchange for services rendered and during the year ended September
              30, 1997 issued  7,285  shares for the  conversion  of  short-term
              liabilities.  The  transactions  have  been  valued  based  on the
              estimated fair value of the common stock on the date issued.

              On September 8, 1993, the Company granted a warrant dividend.  The
              Company  distributed  to each  stockholder,  excluding  one of the
              Company's  founders,  one redeemable common stock purchase warrant
              for each share of the Company's common stock owned,  entitling the
              holder to purchase an  additional  share of common stock for $3.25
              per share.  On October  12,  1994,  the  Company  granted  375,000
              warrants to one of the Company's  founders,  under similar  terms.
              The warrants were  originally  valued at $500,000.  These warrants
              originally  expired on September 7, 1998. During the current year,
              the Company  extended the  expiration of the warrants to September
              6, 1999. The exercise price will decrease to $2.50 from January 1,
              1999 to April 30, 1999 and then increase to $3.25 from May 1, 1999
              to  September  6, 1999.  The warrants are callable at a redemption
              price of $.05 per warrant, if the Company's common stock trades at
              $4.75 or higher for 15 consecutive days. As of September 30, 1998,
              294,518  redeemable  warrants  had been  exercised,  none had been
              redeemed and 1,736,870 remained outstanding.

              Additionally,   in  connection  with  certain  private   placement
              transactions  during  fiscal '96, the Company  issued common stock
              warrants  exercisable  for an  aggregate  of  1,883,333  shares of
              common  stock at prices  ranging from $3.25 to $4.50 per share and
              varying other terms and restrictions.

(6)    COMMON STOCK OPTIONS

       In 1991,  the Company  adopted a Stock Option Plan (the Plan).  Under the
       Plan,  directors,  key  employees  and  consultants  of the  Company  are
       eligible to receive  grants of options  which are  intended to qualify as
       incentive  stock  options,  within  the  meaning  of  Section  422 of the
       Internal  Revenue  Code of 1986,  as  amended  (the  Code),  or which are
       non-qualified stock options. In addition,  non-employee  directors of the
       Company may receive  grants of options  according to a formula which upon
       the adoption of the Plan  provided  for an initial  grant of an option to
       purchase  5,000  shares of common  stock and annual  grants of options to
       purchase 2,500 shares of common stock for each person who is subsequently
       elected  or  re-elected  and for each  year of  service  thereafter  as a
       director.  An  aggregate  of  394,000  shares  of  common  stock has been
       reserved  for  issuance  under the Plan.  The Plan is  administered  by a
       committee  (the  Committee)  designated  by the Board of Directors of the
       Company.  The exercise price per share for the options  granted under the
       plan may not be less than the fair value of the Company's common stock on
       the date of  grant.  The  exercise  price  and the term are  fixed by the
       Committee, subject to the terms of the Plan.

       Changes  in the  status  of  options  under  the Plan are  summarized  as
       follows:

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1998 and 1997

       During fiscal 1996,  15,000 options were granted pursuant to the Plan and
       an  additional   200,000  (for  a  total  of  215,000)  were  granted  to
       consultants  providing  communications  services to the Company. The fair
       value of these options of $107,500 was being  amortized over the two year
       period ended September 30, 1997 during which the services were performed.
       The  amortization of the options issued to the consultants of $72,500 are
       included  in general  and  administrative  expenses  in the  accompanying
       consolidated  statements of operations  for the year ended  September 30,
       1997.

       On  January  23,  1995,  the  Company  approved a stock  purchase  by the
       Company's  President  and then Chief  Executive  Officer to  purchase  an
       aggregate of 705,000  shares of the Company's  common stock at a price of
       $.05 and $.56 per common  share for 245,000 and 460,000  shares of common
       stock,  respectively.  In connection with this  transaction,  the Company
       recognized a one-time,  non-cash  compensation  expense of  approximately
       $1,228,000 in the year ended September 30, 1995. In conjunction  with the
       purchase of these shares,  the Company extended a note to the officer for
       $230,000,  due December 31,  1995.  Subsequently,  this note was extended
       until  December  31,  1997.  In  January  1998,  the shares of stock were
       returned to the Company  and the note was  forgiven.  The shares of stock
       had a fair market value that approximated the outstanding note balance of
       $180,000 at September 30, 1997, and, as a stock subscription  receivable,
       was netted against additional paid-in-capital.


   
       On January  15,  1998 the  Company  granted  100,000  shares of stock and
       options to acquire 800,000 shares at an exercise price of $.22 per share,
       which represented the fair value of common stock at the close of business
       on January 14, 1998, to the Chief Executive Officer. The options vest and
       become exercisable in accordance with the following schedule:
    

o        100,000  option shares on the date that the closing price of the common
         stock of the  Company is equal to or  greater  than $1.00 per share for
         ten consecutive trading days

o        100,000  option shares on the date that the closing price of the common
         stock of the  Company is equal to or  greater  than $2.00 per share for
         ten consecutive trading days

   
o        100,000  option shares on the date that the closing price of the common
         stock of the  Company is equal to or  greater  than $3.00 per share

o        100,000  option shares on the date that the closing price of the common
         stock of the  Company is equal to or  greater  than $4.00 per share

o        100,000  option shares on the date that the closing price of the common
         stock of the  Company is equal to or  greater  than $5.00 per share
    

o        50,000 option shares on January 15, 1999 if the Chief Executive Officer
         is still employed in the same capacity with the Company

o        250,000  option  shares on  January  15,  2002 if the  Chief  Executive
         Officer is continuously employed in the same capacity with the Company

       At  September  30, 1998  100,000  options  were  exercisable  and 800,000
       options were outstanding.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

                           September 30, 1998 and 1997

   
       Stock option grants are set at the closing price of the Company's  common
       stock on the date of grant and the related  number of shares  granted are
       generally fixed at that point in time. Therefore, under the principles of
       APB Opinion No. 25, the Company does not recognize  compensation  expense
       associated with the grant of stock options except as follows:  500,000 of
       the  800,000  option  shares  granted to the Chief  Executive  Officer as
       described in the preceding  paragraphs  have  variable  terms whereby the
       number of shares  exercisable  are  dependent  on the future price of the
       Company's  stock.  Consequently,  if shares vest  according to the terms,
       compensation  expense would be recognized for the difference  between the
       quoted market price and the exercise  price of the shares.  SFAS No. 123,
       Accounting  for  Stock-Based  Compensation,  requires  the use of  option
       valuation models to provide  supplemental  information  regarding options
       granted after 1995. Pro forma information regarding net loss and loss per
       share shown below was  determined as if the Company had accounted for its
       employee  stock  options  and shares sold under its stock  purchase  plan
       under the fair market value method of that statement.
    


       The fair value of the options was  estimated at the date of grant using a
       Black-Scholes  option  pricing model with the following  weighted-average
       assumptions for 1998 and 1997, respectively:  risk-free interest rates of
       5.25% and 5.8%;  dividend yields of 0% and 0%; volatility  factors of the
       expected  market price of the  Company's  common stock of 96% and 96% and
       expected  life of the options of 5 years and 5 years.  These  assumptions
       resulted in weighted-average  fair values of $.27 and $1.32 per share for
       stock options granted in 1998 and 1997, respectively.


       At September 30, 1998,  the Company has 72,500  options  outstanding  and
       exercisable  with a range of  exercise  prices  of $1.08  to  $2.50.  The
       weighted-average exercise price of these options is $1.64 and they have a
       weighted-average remaining contractual life of 2-7 years.

       At September 30, 1998,  the Company has 12,500  options  outstanding  and
       exercisable with an exercise price of $3.50. They have a weighted-average
       remaining life of 1. 5 years.

       At September 30, 1998,  the Company has 65,000  options  outstanding  and
       exercisable with an exercise price of $1.75. They have a weighted-average
       remaining life of 8 years.

       At September 30, 1998, the Company has 272,500 options  outstanding  with
       an exercise price of $.38. They have a weighted-average remaining life of
       7 years.

       For purposes of pro forma  disclosures,  the estimated  fair value of the
       options is  amortized  over the options  vesting  periods.  The pro forma
       effect  on net loss for  1998 and 1997 is not  representative  of the pro
       forma  effect on net income  (loss) in future  years  because it does not
       take into consideration pro forma compensation  expense related to grants
       made prior to 1996. The Company's pro forma information is as follows:

       A valuation allowance of $5,798,000 was recorded at September 30, 1998 to
       offset the  related  net  deferred  tax asset due to the  uncertainty  of
       realizing the related tax benefit.

       At September 30, 1998, the Company has net operating  loss  carryforwards
       for federal income tax purposes of  approximately  $17,800,000  which are
       available to offset future  federal  taxable  income,  if any, and expire
       2006 through 2013. The Company's net operating loss  carryforwards may be
       subject to certain annual limitations.

       The Company has two notes  payable due in equal monthly  installments  of
       $4,395 and $991  bearing  interest  at rates of 7.4% and 8.96% per annum,

       balance of the notes  payable  at  September  30,  1998 was  $30,021  and

       COOPERATIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

       The Company has  entered  into a  Cooperative  Research  and  Development
       Agreement  (CRADA)  with the  Laboratory  of Tumor  Cell  Biology  of the
       National  Cancer  Institute  (NCI).  The principal goals of this proposed
       CRADA involve the screening of a library of traditional Chinese medicines
       (TCMs) for their  affects on  reducing  HIV induced  cytotoxicity  and/or
       their ability to inhibit cell growth in various tumor cell lines.

       This  agreement  signed on December 18, 1996 calls for the Company to pay
       NCI $500,000 over a two year period.  The payment terms are $100,000 upon
       the execution of the agreement and the one year anniversary and quarterly
       payments of $50,000 during the year.  The Company is allowed  offsets for
       "in  kind"  contributions,  such  as  salaries  and  consultants  paid by
       directly by  Paracelsian.  In September  1997,  the Company  canceled the
       contract.  Due to the  cancellation  of the  contract,  the  Company  has
       fulfilled all obligations to NCI as of September 30, 1998.

       CONTINGENCY

        (a)   During  1993,  an action was  commenced  against  the  Company,  a
              Company Vice  President and a shareholder  and former  employee of
              the Company. The complaint seeks money damages and alleges that in
              1990, prior to the Company's  incorporation,  certain  individuals
              became partners with the individual defendants in a venture formed
              to  commercialize   products  which  the  Company  had  originally
              intended  to  develop.  The case is in the  discovery  and  motion
              phase.   The  parties   exchanged   documents  and  conducted  the
              depositions  of certain key  witnesses.  Discovery has been stayed
              temporarily  pending  resolution of a motion for summary  judgment
              brought by certain of the Company's co-defendants. That motion, if
              successful,  will fully  resolve the case in favor of the Company.
              Management  believes  that the  action  is  without  merit  and is
              vigorously   opposing  the   allegations  and  that  the  ultimate
              resolution  of this  litigation  will not have a material  adverse
              effect  on  the  Company's   financial   position  or  results  of
              operations.

       (b)    A suit  filed by the  Company  in  April,  1997  against  a former
              officer and  director of the  Company and related  counter  claims
              were  dismissed by the court  pursuant to a  settlement  agreement
              between  the  parties  in  early  1998.  Under  the  terms  of the
              settlement, the Company canceled a $56,000 loan made to the former
              officer and further  agreed to pay him $26,000 over sixty  monthly
              installments, with interest at 8.5% per annum.

              Future minimum payments to the former officer are as follows:

                      1999              $       4,499
                      2000                      4,897

                      2002                      5,801
                      2003                      3,693

                                        =============

       (c)    On May 20, 1997, Dr. T. Colin  Campbell,  a former director of the
              Company,  filed a  petition  in the  Delaware  Court  of  Chancery
              pursuant to Section 211 of the Delaware  General  Corporation  Law
              ("DGCL").  The petition sought an order  compelling the Company to
              hold an annual meeting of  stockholders  and sought other forms of
              relief relating thereto, including requesting that the Court set a
              time and place for the meeting and  ordering  that  certain  board
              seats  be put up for  election.  On June  11,  1997,  the  Company
              announced  that the Board of Directors  had  scheduled  the annual
              meeting  for August 13, 1997 and had set a record date of July 10,
              1997 for stockholders entitled to attend and vote at the meeting.
              On the same day, the Company moved to dismiss the petition.

                           September 30, 1998 and 1997

              On June 20, 1997, petitioner filed a cross-motion in opposition to
              the Company's motion to dismiss,  and an application,  pursuant to
              Section  223(c) of the DGCL,  to  require  the  Company to hold an
              election  at the  annual  meeting to  replace  directors  recently
              appointed to the Board. Subsequently, petitioner moved to postpone
              the  scheduled  August 13th  meeting in order to have more time to
              conduct a proxy  contest.  The Court  scheduled a hearing for July
              28, 1997 to hear  argument on that motion.  Following the hearing,
              the Court ruled from the bench and denied petitioner's  request to
              postpone the meeting,  but granted the  petitioner  leave to amend
              his petition.

              Pursuant to the  agreement  entered into with Biomar (see note 5),
              Dr. T. Colin  Campbell has agreed not to pursue his claims and has
              given the  Company a full and final  release  of all  claims.  The
              Company  agreed to pay Dr.  Campbell's  legal  expenses of $67,156
              related to this matter and has included these costs as general and
              administrative   expenses  in  the   consolidated   statement   of
              operations in the year ended September 30, 1998.


(9)    SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


       In  October  1998,  the  Company  entered  into  a  definitive  agreement
       (following a July 1998 letter agreement) with R.P. Scherer North America,
       a division of R.P.  Scherer  Corporation,  that  establishes R.P. Scherer
       North  America as the  exclusive  marketing  and  distribution  agent for
       Paracelsian's  BioFIT(TM)(Bio Functional Integrity Testing) Certification
       program in certain market  segments in North America.  The agreement also
       provides for  collaboration  between the two companies on the development
       of new products.  The agreement  calls for the Company to receive various
       payments,  including development fees, certification fees, and royalties,
       as certain milestones in the distribution agreement are reached. Revenues
       will be recognized when earned pursuant to the terms of the agreement.


   
       In December  1998,  the Company sold  666,666  shares of common stock for
       $250,000 through a private  placement.  The average closing price for the
       five trading days immediately preceding the transaction was approximately
       $.44 per share.
