                               EXPLANATORY NOTE

On June 15, 2000, Paradigm Genetics, Inc. (the "Company") announced its
financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2000. In that
announcement, Paradigm reported a net loss per common share of $3.11, which
reflected a beneficial conversion feature charge of $2.22 per share. For
informational purposes, Paradigm also announced that its net loss per common
share would have been $0.89 if the beneficial conversion feature had not been
reflected. On June 19, 2000, Paradigm filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission a Report on Form 10-Q for the same quarter. In the 10-Q, Paradigm
reported a net loss per share attributable to shareholders of $0.89, which did
not reflect the beneficial conversion feature. This Amendment No. 1 to the
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 is being filed in order
to reflect the net loss per common share of $3.11 for that period, which does
reflect the beneficial conversion feature.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

        Paradigm Genetics, Inc. (the "Company" or "Paradigm") was organized on
September 9, 1997 to discover the function of genes in plant and fungal
organisms. On April 7, 2000 the Company reincorporated as a Delaware
corporation. The Company is industrializing the process of determining gene
function by creating an assembly-line process to generate information that the
Company believes will enable it to develop novel products in four major sectors
of the global economy: crop production, nutrition, human health and industrial
products. The Company has developed its GeneFunction Factory to simultaneously
study the functions of many genes in plants and fungi. The GeneFunction Factory
is designed to be an integrated, rapid, industrial-scale laboratory through
which the Company can discover and alter genes, understand the consequences of
the modifications and reliably determine the function of those genes. The
Company stores and annotates gene function information in its FunctionFinder
bioinformatics system. Paradigm generates revenues by licensing information
mined from the data in FunctionFinder for the development of products in crop
production, nutrition, human health and industrial applications. If the
Company's strategic partners commercialize products resulting from this
information, the Company is entitled to receive royalty payments based upon
product revenues.


Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. The balance sheet at December 31, 1999 has been derived
from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting
principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2000, or for any
other period. These financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31,
1999 included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended
(No. 333-30758) which was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 5, 2000.

Net Loss per Share

         The Company computes net loss per common share in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share,"
("SFAS 128") and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 98 ("SAB No. 98"). Under the
provisions of SFAS 128 and SAB No. 98, basic net loss per common share ("Basic
EPS") is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share ("Diluted EPS") is
computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares
and dilutive potential common share equivalents then outstanding. Potential
common shares consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and
warrants and shares issuable upon the conversion of outstanding convertible
preferred stock.

         The following table sets forth potential shares of common stock that
are not included in the diluted net loss per share because to do so would be
antidilutive for the periods indicated:

                                                       Three Months Ended

Comprehensive Income

         Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130"). SFAS No. 130
establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income and its
components in the financial statements. Comprehensive income, as defined,
includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources. The
Company had no items of comprehensive income during the three months ended March
31, 2000 or the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

         In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts (collectively referred to as "derivatives"), and for
hedging activities. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with earlier
application encouraged. The Company does not currently, nor does it intend in
the forseeable future, to use derivative instruments and therefore does not
expect that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have any impact on its financial
position or the results of operations.

Note 2. Initial Public Offering

         On May 10, 2000, the Company completed an initial public offering in
which it sold 6,000,000 shares of common stock at $7.00 per share for net
proceeds of approximately $37.9 million, net of underwriting discounts,
commissions and other offering costs. Upon the closing of the offering, all the
Company's convertible preferred stock converted into 13,353,198 shares of common
stock. After the offering, the Company's authorized capital consisted of
50,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 5,000,000
shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. On May 31, 2000, the
underwriters exercised an over-allotment option to purchase an additional
750,000 shares resulting in net proceeds of approximately $4.9 million.

Note 3. Deferred Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company accounts for stock-based compensation based on the
provisions of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25") which states that no compensation
expense is recorded for stock options or other stock-based awards to employees
that are granted with an exercise price equal to or above the estimated fair
value of the Company's common stock on the grant date. In the event that stock
options are granted with an exercise price below the estimated fair value of the
Company's common stock at the grant date, the difference between the fair value
of the Company's common stock and the exercise price is recorded as deferred
compensation. The Company has recognized deferred compensation of $5,122,223 to
reflect the difference between the aggregate fair market value and exercise
price of all options granted with an exercise price below the fair market value
of the Company's common stock at the date of grant. Deferred compensation is
amortized to compensation expense over the vesting period of the related stock
option. The Company recognized non-cash compensation expense related to
amortization of deferred compensation of $349,982 for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and $2,071 for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Note 4. Series C Preferred Stock - Beneficial Conversion Feature

         In January 2000, the Company sold 3,000,000 shares of Series C
Preferred Stock to a group of investors for gross proceeds of $15,000,000 at
$5.00 per share. The Series C Preferred Stock automatically converted into
shares of the Company's common stock at a one-to-one conversion ratio upon the
consummation of its initial public offering on May 10, 2000. The Company has
recorded a beneficial conversion feature charge of $12,000,000 to reflect the
difference between the estimated fair value of the Company's Series C Preferred
Stock of $9.00 per share and the $5.00 per share sales price of these shares.
