4.   REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

     On January 28, 1999, the Company declared a one-for-five reverse stock
     split. All common shares and per share amounts in the financial statements
     have been retroactively restated to give effect to this reverse split.

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

Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 and 1999

Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 were $912,973
and $1,591,988, respectively. These figures reflect an increase in the quarter
of $679,015, or 74% compared to the same period in 1998. Product sales decreased
$41,524 or 7% in the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The decrease is primarily attributable to a 23%
decrease in revenue from disposable products.


                                       6
<PAGE>
 
Licensing and product development fee income increased by $720,539 or 237% in
the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the prior year period. This
increase reflects the funds received from Schering-Plough Corporation to settle
mutual obligations of the parties under a contract dated January 20, 1998. The
Company received a one-time payment of $783,317 from Schering-Plough in exchange
for cancellation of a product purchase order and as reimbursement for certain
non-cancelable manufacturing expenses. The Company expects that licensing and
product development fee income will fluctuate on a quarterly basis, depending on
a variety of factors; including the timing of execution of potential development
and licensing agreements and the timing, nature and size of fee payments to be
made under existing and new agreements. In addition, since the Company does not,
in general, recognize project-based fee income until related development work
has been performed, quarterly results will fluctuate with the timing of the
Company's research and development efforts.

Cost of sales in the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999 were relatively
comparable in dollar terms; however, gross margins decreased from 23.2% to 16.7%
due primarily to reduced average selling prices resulting from a larger portion
of sales going to distributors.

Research and development expenses totaled $592,486 and $ 660,522 in the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The increase of $68,036 or
11% is mainly due to utilization of certain production employees for development
activities and higher clinical study expenses.

General and administrative expenses totaled $544,812 and $485,683 in the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. These figures represent a
decrease of $59,129 or 11%. The largest component of the decrease is
attributable to staffing reductions which were completed in October 1998.
Payroll expenses decreased by approximately $44,000 compared to the prior year
period.

Sales and marketing expenses totaled $246,843 and $264,205 in the three months
ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, respectively. This increase of $17,362 or 7% is
primarily due to an increase in advertising and consulting services of
approximately $36,000 offset by a decrease in payroll expense of approximately
$20,000. Payroll decreases resulted from the staffing reductions completed in
October 1998.

Net other income (expense) for the three months ended March 31, 1999 decreased
by 67,387 or 72% relative to the prior year three-month period ending March 31.
This decrease primarily reflects a decrease in interest income attributable to
lower average cash balances.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents totaled $2,852,285 on December 31, 1998 compared to
$2,704,763 on March 31, 1999. This decrease of $147,522 results primarily from a
net loss of $265,121 adjusted for charges of depreciation and amortization and
changes in operating assets and liabilities of which the significant components
were a decline in inventory of $194,386 offset by a decline in deferred revenue
of $216,000.


                                       7

The Company's long term capital requirements will depend on numerous factors,
including the status of the Company's collaborative arrangements, the progress
of the Company's research and development programs and the receipt of revenues
from sales of the Company's products. The Company believes that cash on hand,
interest expected to be earned thereon and anticipated revenues, will meet its
needs through December 1999. In order to meet its capital needs beyond this
period, the Company may be required to raise additional capital through public
or private debt or equity offerings. The Company can provide no assurance,
however, that cash available will be sufficient to meet the Company's needs
during the next nine months or beyond, that the Company will ever become
profitable or that the Company will be able to raise additional capital when and
if needed, on terms acceptable to the Company, or at all.

Impact of the Year 2000
The Company is addressing the issue associated with the programming code in
existing computer systems as the millennium (Year 2000) approaches. The "Year
2000" problem is pervasive and complex as virtually every computer operation
will be affected in some way. The Company is aware of the computing difficulties
that the millennium issue presents for the Year 2000.

The Company has identified a team to address the information technology (IT)
systems used for internal purposes at the Company and to also address the non-IT
systems. The Company intends to have all systems analyzed, reprogrammed and
tested by June 30, 1999. To date, confirmations have been received from
virtually all of the Company's vendors indicating that plans are being developed
to address processing of transactions in the Year 2000. There can be no
assurance that the Company will not experience serious unanticipated negative
consequences and/or material costs caused by undetected errors or defects in the
technology used in its internal operating systems, which are composed
predominantly of third party software and hardware technology, or by the failure
of vendors to correct their Year 2000 issues. The majority of the Company's
current standard product lines and manufacturing equipment are not date
sensitive and therefore are not affected by the Year 2000 issues.

The Company incurred approximately $8,000 of expense to address the Year 2000
problem to date and expects that it will incur approximately $20,000 in total
expense. The Company is in the process of establishing a contingency plan if the
Company's IT and non-IT systems are not Year 2000 compliant. It is anticipated
that the contingency plan and all related Year 2000 compliance initiatives will
be completed by June 30,1999.

Reverse Stock Split

On January 28, 1999, the Company declared a one-for-five reverse stock split of
its outstanding common stock, applicable to shareholders of record at close of
trading on January 28, 1999. The reverse split was affected in response to the
Nasdaq National Market listing requirements which require that the Company
maintain a minimum value of public float of $5,000,000 and a minimum bid price
of $1.00 per share. After the reverse split, the Company met the requirements
for continued listing on the Nasdaq Small Cap Market, which require the Company
to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share and to maintain a minimum
value of public float of 


                                       8
<PAGE>
 
$1,000,000. After the reverse split, the Company had 1,424,729 shares of common
stock outstanding as fractional shares were paid out in cash to respective
shareholders. All common share and per share amounts in this report have been
retroactively restated to give effect to this reverse stock split.
