Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations for interim financial
information. These financial statements do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. It is presumed that users of this interim financial
information have read or have access to the audited financial statements for the
preceding fiscal year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
2. Earnings Per Share
The weighted average shares used in the calculation of earnings per share for
the first quarter of 1997 represents the weighted average shares outstanding
plus the dilutive impact of stock options. The shares used in the calculation of
1996 earnings per share represent pro forma shares which take into consideration
convertible preferred stock and common stock options and awards issued during
the twelve months preceding July 1996.
In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement No.
128, which establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share information. This statement will be effective for the Company's year-end
1997 financial statements and will require the restatement of all prior-period
earnings per share data presented; however, earlier application is not
permitted. The earnings per share data for the first quarter of 1997 will be the
same as that computed under the new standard, assuming dilution. The Company has
not determined the impact on prior-period data at this time.

<PAGE> 7
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.
The Company's quarterly results have been and are expected to continue to be,
subject to fluctuations. Quarterly results can fluctuate as a result of a number
of factors, including the commencement, completion or cancellation of large
contracts, progress of ongoing contracts, recognition of licensing revenue,
potential acquisitions, the timing of start-up expenses for new facilities and
changes in the mix of services. Since a large percentage of the Company's
operating costs are relatively fixed, variations in the timing and progress of
large contracts or the recognition of licensing revenue (on projects for which
associated expense may have been recognized in prior periods) can materially
affect quarterly results. In addition, the first quarter of 1997 includes the
operating results of L.A.B., the European contract research organization which
was acquired by the Company on December 31, 1996. Accordingly, the Company
believes that comparisons of its quarterly financial results may not be
meaningful.
Results of Operations - First Quarter 1997 compared to First Quarter
1996
Net sales for the first quarter of 1997 increased 53% to $15.2 million compared
to $9.9 million in 1996. The core fee-for-service revenues were $13.7 million in
1997, up 47% from $9.3 million in 1996. The addition of L.A.B. was the major
contributing factor for this increase. Revenues from licensing and royalties
were $1.5 million in 1997 compared to $650,000 last year. L.A.B. contributed
approximately one-third of these 1997 licensing revenues.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased to 49.2% compared to 41.5%
last year. This increase is mostly attributable to the addition of L.A.B., which
has historically operated at lower margins compared to the domestic operations
of AAI. The Company has begun instituting changes at L.A.B. which it expects to
increase their operating margins to be more in-line with domestic results.
Selling expense as a percentage of net sales declined to 12.0% compared to 15.5%
last year. The decline primarily resulted from the addition of L.A.B. sales with
very little related selling expense. Prior to being acquired, L.A.B. had
significantly reduced their marketing activities. The Company is in the process
of expanding the sales and marketing activities in Europe which should result in
more normal levels of selling expense in future periods.
General and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales were
approximately even, 22.4% in 1997 compared to 22.9% in 1996. The Company has
continued its efforts at controlling general and administrative expenses in line
with overall growth.
Research and development expenses were $1.6 million in 1997 compared to $852,000
in 1996. The Company has continued spending on internal development projects in
the U.S. and has now supplemented its program with L.A.B.'s active program in
Europe.

<PAGE> 8
Other income increased in 1997 compared to 1996 as a result of higher cash
balances generating more interest income.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company has historically funded its business through operating cash flows,
proceeds from borrowings and the issuance of equity securities. Working capital
was approximately $37.4 million at March 31, 1997 compared to approximately
$35.8 million at December 31, 1996. Additionally, the Company has available a
$20 million credit facility to supplement its liquidity needs.
Capital expenditures were approximately $2.3 million during the first quarter of
1997 compared to approximately $1.1 million during the same period last year.
The Company anticipates total capital expenditures for 1997 of approximately $10
million.
AAI expects to continue expanding its operations through internal growth and
strategic acquisitions. Such activities will be funded from existing cash and
cash equivalents, cash flow from operations and borrowings. The Company believes
that such sources of cash will be sufficient to fund operations and capital
obligations for the current and foreseeable future and to pay existing debt as
it becomes due. Although the Company has no present acquisition agreements or
arrangements, there may be future acquisition or growth opportunities that
require additional external financing for which the Company may from
time-to-time seek to obtain funds through the public or private issuance of
equity or debt securities. There can be no assurances that such financing will
be available on terms acceptable to the Company.
This Quarterly Report may contain certain forward-looking statements, within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based
on the Company's belief and assumptions, as well as information currently
available to the Company. When used herein, the words, "anticipate,"
"estimate," "expect," and similar expressions may identify forward-looking
statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
any such forward-looking statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance
that such expectations will prove to be correct. Any such statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Should one or more of these risks
or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual results, performance or financial condition may vary materially from
those anticipated, estimated or expected. Key factors that may have a direct
bearing on the Company's results, performance and financial condition include,
but are not limited to, the Company's dependence on and effect of government
regulation; its management of growth and acquisition risks, including its
integration of acquired operations; the level of outsourcing of research,
development and testing activities in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries; its dependence on key personnel, and its dependence on third-party
marketing and distribution of internally developed drugs.
