Note F - Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," which
establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments,
including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and for
hedging activities. This statement was amended by SFAS No. 137 to defer the
effective date to fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.
Management does not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements because the Company does
not presently utilize derivative investments or engage in hedging activities.

In April 1998, the AICPA issued Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting the Costs
of Start-up Activities" (SOP 98-5). SOP 98-5 requires that the costs of start-up
activities including organizational costs, be expensed as incurred. SOP 98-5 is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1998. The adoption of this statement on January 1, 1999 did not have a material
effect on the Company's financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

The following discussion of the results of operations and financial condition of
the Company should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto included within this
report. This Form 10-Q contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). The Company's actual results could
differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements and
therefore, prospective investors are cautioned that any such forward-looking
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and
uncertainties. Actual events or results may differ from those discussed in the
forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, without
limitation, the Company's ability to attract and retain experienced scientists,
any decline in the recent trend of outsourcing chemistry research services by
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, the continuation of royalties from
the Company's Allegra(TM)/Telfast license agreement with Hoechst Marion Roussel,
Inc. ("HMRI"), and the Company's ability to manage its growth, as well as the
factors set forth under the caption "Risk Factors and Certain Factors Affecting
Forward-Looking Statements," in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 1998 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on March 31, 1999, the discussion set forth below and the matters set forth in
this Form 10-Q generally.

Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Three
Months Ended June 30, 1998

Net contract revenue. Net contract revenue consists primarily of fees earned
under contracts with third party customers, net of reimbursed expenses.
Reimbursed expenses consist of laboratory supplies, chemicals and other costs
reimbursed by customers and, in accordance with industry practice, are included
in contract revenue. Reimbursed expenses vary from contract to contract. The
Company views net contract revenue as its primary measure of revenue growth
rather than licensing fees and royalties, which are dependent upon sales by the
Company's licensee. Net contract revenue for the second quarter of 1999
increased 61% to $5.0 million compared to $3.1 million for the same period in
1998. This increase was due principally to the performance by the Company of a
greater number of projects, primarily for core medicinal chemistry and chemical
development services.

Gross profit. The Company's cost of revenue, from which it derives gross profit,
consists primarily of compensation and associated fringe benefits for employees
and other direct project related costs. Gross profit increased 61% to $2.2
million in the second quarter of 1999 from $1.3 million for the same period in
1998. The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net contract revenue
remained consistent between periods.

                                       8
<PAGE>

Other operating revenue. Other operating revenue consists of licensing fees,
milestones and royalties net of technology incentive award expense incurred
under the Company's Technology Development Incentive Plan. The Company earns
royalties from HMRI under a license agreement based on sales of fexofenadine
HCl, marketed as Allegra(TM) in the Americas and Telfast elsewhere. Royalty
payments are due within 45 days after the end of a calendar quarter and are
determined based on such quarter's sales. Other operating revenue for the second
quarter of 1999 increased 33% to $5.3 million compared to $4.0 million in 1998.
The second quarter 1998 operating revenue also included a $1.0 million milestone
payment. The Company expects no future non-recurring income from its
Allegra(TM)/Telfast license agreement with HMRI. Excluding this non-recurring
income, other operating revenue increased 78% to $5.3 million in the second
quarter of 1999 as compared to $3.0 million in 1998 as a result of increased
recurring royalties under the Allegra(TM)/Telfast license agreement due to
increased sales of the drug product.

Research and development. Research and development expense consists of payments
in connection with collaborations with academic institutions, compensation and
benefits for scientific personnel for work performed on proprietary research
projects and costs of supplies and related chemicals. Research and development
expense increased 2% to $135,000 for the second quarter of 1999 from $132,000
for the same period in 1998. The support for the Company's proprietary research
programs remained relatively consistent between periods.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense
consists of compensation and related fringe benefits for marketing and
administrative employees, professional services, marketing costs and all costs
related to facilities and information services. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased 35% to $1.4 million for the second quarter of
1999 from $1.0 million for the corresponding period of 1998. Selling, general
and administrative expenses represented 27.9% of net contract revenue in the
second quarter of 1999 as compared to 33.2% in the second quarter of 1998. The
dollar increase was mainly attributable to an increase in administrative and
marketing staffing to support the expansion of operations, an increase in
expenses related to recruitment of scientists, and an increase in overhead
expenses relating to the expansion of the Company's Albany facility.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased to $2.4 million during the
second quarter of 1999 from $1.5 million in the second quarter of 1998. The
effective rate for the Company's provision for income taxes was 37.5% in the
second quarter of 1999 and 34.7% for the same period in 1998. The lower tax rate
for the second quarter of 1998 resulted from a change in the estimated effective
tax rate for the year.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared to Six Months
Ended June 30, 1998

Net contract revenue. Net contract revenue for the first six months of 1999
increased 57% to $9.4 million compared to $6.0 million for the same period in
1998. This increase was due principally to the performance of a greater number
of projects, primarily for core medicinal chemistry and chemical development
services.

Gross profit. Gross profit increased 51% to $4.1 million for the first six
months of 1999 from $2.7 million for the same period in 1998. The gross profit
margin percentage was approximately 43.5% for the first six months of 1999 as
compared to 45.5% for the same period in 1998. The decrease in the gross profit
margin was mainly attributable to overhead, depreciation and one-time supply
expenses associated with the expansion of the Company's laboratory facilities,
which was completed in January 1999.

Other operating revenue. Other operating revenue for the first six months of
1999 decreased 20% to $9.0 million as compared to $11.2 million during the same
period in 1998. The decline in other operating revenue in 1999 was attributable
to $7.4 million in non-recurring royalties and milestones recognized during the
first six months of 1998. The Company expects no future non-recurring income
from its Allegra(TM)/Telfast license agreement with HMRI. Excluding this non-
recurring income, other operating revenue increased 100% to $9.0 million in the
first six months of 1999 as compared to $4.5 million in 1998 as a result of
increased recurring royalties under the Allegra(TM)/Telfast license agreement
due to increased sales of the drug product.

Research and development. Research and development expense decreased 23% to
$264,000 for the first six months of 1999 from $341,000 for the same period in
1998. The decrease was due primarily to contractual renewals with the Company's
research collaborators pertaining to proprietary research programs funded at a
lower level than in previous periods.

<PAGE>

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 26% to $2.6 million for the first six months of 1999 from
$2.1 million for the corresponding period of 1998. Selling, general and
administrative expenses represented 28.2% of net contract revenue in the first
six months of 1999 as compared to 35.3% in the first six months of 1998. The
dollar increase was mainly attributable to an increase in administrative and
marketing staffing to support the expansion of operations, an increase in
expenses related to recruitment of scientists, an increase in overhead
expenses relating to the expansion of the Company's Albany facility, and certain
costs associated with becoming a publicly-traded company. During the first six
months of 1998, the Company incurred a one-time expense for partial
reimbursement of its landlord for expenses in relocating other tenants in order
to facilitate the Company's expansion. Excluding this charge, selling, general
and administrative expenses for the first six months of 1998 would have
represented 32.0% of net contract revenue for the period.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $219,000 from $4.3 million in
the first six months of 1998 to $4.1 million for the same period in 1999. The
effective rate for the provision for income taxes was 37.5% for the first six
months of 1999 and 37.2% for the same period in 1998.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has historically funded its business through operating cash flows,
proceeds from borrowings and the issuance of equity securities. During the first
six months of 1999, the Company generated cash of $4.9 million from operating
activities of which $2.3 million was used principally towards the purchase of
additional laboratory equipment. In addition, $25.4 million was used towards the
purchase of investment securities. During the first six months of 1999, the
Company generated $36.5 million from financing activities, consisting of $51.4
million from its recent initial public offering of 2,815,000 shares of common
stock, net of $14.9 million of proceeds used to repay principal on outstanding
debt obligations. Working capital was approximately $52.0 million at June 30,
1999 as compared to $10.1 million as of June 30, 1998. The Company has available
a $25 million credit facility to supplement its liquidity needs.

The Company has initiated a feasibility study for a potential expansion of
operations at its Rensselaer, New York site. This expansion would accommodate
additional chemical development laboratories, as well as a small-scale chemical
manufacturing facility. The total cost of this expansion is estimated to be $9
to $11 million, payable over approximately 18 to 24 months. The Company has
received initial approval of over $2 million in state grants to assist in
funding the expansion. The Company expects to fund the remaining cost of the
expansion through cash on hand, funds from operations, and, if necessary, its
credit facility.

The Company is pursuing the expansion of its operations through internal growth
and strategic acquisitions. The Company expects such activities will be funded
from existing cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operations, the issuance
of equity securities and borrowings. The Company believes that the remaining net
proceeds from its recent public offering, together with cash generated from
operations and borrowings under the credit facility, will be sufficient to fund
its anticipated working capital needs and capital expenditures (other than
financing necessary to complete future acquisitions, if any) for at least the
next 12 months. Future acquisitions, if any, could be funded with cash from
operations, borrowings under the credit facility and/or the issuance of debt or
equity securities. There can be no assurance that attractive acquisition
opportunities will be available to the Company or will be available at prices
and upon such other terms that are attractive to the Company. The Company
regularly evaluates potential acquisitions of other businesses, products and
product lines and may hold discussions regarding such potential acquisitions. As
a general rule, the Company will publicly announce such acquisitions only after
a definitive agreement has been signed. In addition, in order to meet its long-
term liquidity needs or consummate future acquisitions, the Company may incur
additional indebtedness or issue additional equity and debt securities, subject
to market and other conditions. There can be no assurance that such additional
financing will be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. The
failure to raise the funds necessary to finance its future cash requirements or
consummate future acquisitions could adversely affect the Company's ability to
pursue its strategy and could negatively affect its operations in future
periods.

Year 2000 Compliance

General. The "Year 2000" issue concerns the potential exposures related to the
automated generation of business and financial misinformation resulting from the
application of computer programs which have been written using two digits,
rather than four, to define the application year of business transactions. The
Company's Year 2000 remediation and compliance program (the "Year 2000 Project")

                                       10
<PAGE>

is managed by a Task Force consisting of representatives from all major
operational units within the Company and is currently directed by the Company's
Chief Financial Officer. The Year 2000 Project Task Force's focus has been the
functional areas of information technology, non-information technology (embedded
processors) and customer/vendor Year 2000 assessment.

Information technology. The Company's Task Force and independent information
technology consultants have conducted a comprehensive assessment of the
Company's main computer system to identify the enterprise-wide hardware and
software impact of the Year 2000 problem and to identify mission critical
software systems. They determined that no substantial changes are required for
the Company's enterprise-wide hardware and software to be considered Year 2000
compliant. Since substantially all of the Company's software are standard "off
the shelf" packages, much of the remediation and testing process is dependent on
the accuracy of work performed by, and the Year 2000 compliance of, such
purchased software. The Company believes that all of its mission critical
information technology systems will be Year 2000 compliant by the end of the
third quarter of 1999.

Non-information technology. The Company's non-information technology systems
consist mainly of embedded processors such as microcontrollers in security, fire
prevention and climate control systems. The Company has reviewed the Year 2000
readiness of vendors supplying such equipment and systems in order to assess the
possibility of a Year 2000 failure in these areas. Because of the Company's
recent physical expansion at its Albany, New York facility, the majority of the
centralized microcomputer systems have been either recently installed or
upgraded in capacity. The Company believes that substantially all of the non-
information technology systems within its infrastructure are Year 2000
compliant.

Customer/vendor relationships. The Task Force has investigated the Year 2000
readiness of its material customers (such as AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly and
Company) and its key licensees (such as HMRI). The Company is in the process of
attempting to obtain written verification from its critical vendors that they
will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company has received written verification from
substantially all of its critical vendors that they will be Year 2000 compliant
by the end of the third quarter of 1999. The failure of any of its significant
customers or vendors to be Year 2000 compliant could have a material adverse
effect on the Company's business, financial position and results of operations.

Due to the non-proprietary nature of the Company's software systems, along with
the recent acquisition of a majority of the Company's information technology
hardware, the Company anticipates that it will incur no material costs to become
Year 2000 compliant. Due to the unlikely nature of internal failures at the
Company, no contingency plans have been prepared to address this problem. The
most likely reasonable worst case scenario for the Company with respect to the
Year 2000 problem would be the failure of a significant customer or vendor,
including an energy vendor, to be Year 2000 compliant such that the failure
would either cause the Company to lose a revenue stream or to experience a
withholding of a vendor's goods or services because of the situation. In the
case of a material customer, this could result in lost revenue, while in the
case of a vendor, this could result in higher than anticipated expenses, as the
Company would be required to seek alternative suppliers of these goods and
services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

        Not Applicable.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

        The Company, from time to time, may be involved in various claims and
legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is
not currently a party to any such claims or proceedings which, if decided
adversely to the Company, would likely either individually or in the aggregate
have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition or
results of operations.

Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds

        (c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.

          (1)  In March 1999, the Company issued 56,250 shares of Common Stock
               upon exercise of an outstanding stock option under the Company's
               1992 Stock Option Plan for an aggregate exercise price of $7,875
               to an employee of the Company in reliance upon the exemption
               from registration under Rule 701 promulgated under the
               Securities Act.

          (2)  In April 1999, the Company issued 8,196 shares of Common Stock
