Note A--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. 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.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.

Note B--Subsequent Event

On October 19, 1999, the Company consummated a merger of EnzyMed, Inc., a
provider of combinatorial biocatalysis discovery services based in Iowa, with
and into the Company. As a result of the merger, the Company acquired all of the
outstanding common and preferred stock of EnzyMed in exchange for 726,056 shares
of the Company's Common Stock. In addition, the Company assumed all of the
outstanding options of EnzyMed, which represent options to purchase 79,647
shares of the Company's Common Stock. EnzyMed will retain its separate identity
as an independent business unit, and will continue to develope and market its
combinatorial biocatalysis platform for drug discovery technology as a division
of the Company. The acquisition of EnzyMed has been accounted for as a pooling
of interests, and as such, all historical financial data reported subsequent to
the merger will be restated to include the historical financial data of EnzyMed.

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 instruments 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 of 1933, as amended (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 SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 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 third quarter of 1999
increased 47% to $5.4 million compared to $3.7 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 46% to
$2.4 million in the third quarter of 1999 from $1.6 million for the same period
in 1998.  The Company's gross margin as a percentage of net contract revenue
remained consistent between periods.

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

                                       8
<PAGE>

determined based on such quarter's sales.  Other operating revenue for the third
quarter of 1999 increased 78% to $5.3 million compared to $3.0 million in 1998.
The increase was attributable to increased sales of the drug product by the
Company's licensee.

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 decreased 30% to $137,000 for the third quarter of 1999 from $194,000
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.

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 third quarter of
1999 from $1.1 million for the corresponding period of 1998.  Selling, general
and administrative expenses represented 26.2% of net contract revenue in the
third quarter of 1999 as compared to 28.6% in the third quarter of 1998.  The
dollar increase was primarily 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.

Income tax expense.  Income tax expense increased to $2.5 million during the
third quarter of 1999 from $1.3 million in the third quarter of 1998.  The
effective rate for the Company's provision for income taxes was 37.4% in the
third quarter of 1999 and 40.2% for the same period in 1998.  The higher tax
rate for the third quarter of 1998 resulted from a change in the estimated
effective tax rate for the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS--NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 COMPARED TO NINE
MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998

Net contract revenue. Net contract revenue for the first nine months of 1999
increased 54% to $14.8 million compared to $9.6 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 49% to $6.4 million for the first nine
months of 1999 from $4.3 million for the same period in 1998.  The gross profit
margin percentage was 43.5% for the first nine months of 1999 as compared to
44.9% 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 during the first quarter of 1999.

Other operating revenue. Other operating revenue for the first nine months of
1999 increased 1% to $14.3 million as compared to $14.2 million during the same
period in 1998. Other operating revenue for the first nine months of 1998
included the recognition of $7.4 million in non-recurring royalties and
milestones. 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 91.2% to $14.3 million in the first
nine months of 1999 as compared to $7.5 million for the same period 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 25% to
$401,000 for the first nine months of 1999 from $535,000 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.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased 29% to $4.1 million for the first nine months of 1999 from
$3.2 million for the corresponding period of 1998.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses represented 27.5% of net contract revenue in the first
nine months of 1999 as compared to 32.8% in the first nine months of 1998.  The
dollar increase was primarily 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

                                       9
<PAGE>

becoming a publicly-traded company. During the first nine 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 nine months of 1998 would have represented 30.6% of net contract
revenue for the period.

Income tax expense.  Income tax expense increased $900,000 to $6.6 million
in the first nine months of 1999 from $5.7 million for the same period in 1998.
The effective rate for the provision for income taxes was 37.5% for the first
nine 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 nine months of 1999, the Company generated cash of $8.6 million from
operating activities of which $2.7 million was used principally towards the
purchase of additional laboratory equipment.  In addition, $33.8 million was
used towards the purchase of investment securities.  During the first nine
months of 1999, the Company generated $37.9 million from financing activities,
consisting of $51.4 million from its February 1999 initial public offering of
2,815,000 shares of common stock, net of $14.9 million of the proceeds used to
repay principal on outstanding debt obligations.  The Company also received $1.4
million from the exercise of stock options for common stock during the period.
Working capital was approximately $58.1 million at September 30, 1999 as
compared to $8.3 million as of September 30, 1998.  The Company has available a
$25 million credit facility to supplement its liquidity needs.

The Company has begun an expansion of operations at its Rensselaer, New York
site.  This expansion would accommodate additional medicinal chemistry and
chemical development laboratories.  The total construction and equipment cost of
this expansion is estimated to be $7 to $9 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 February 1999 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")
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.

                                       10
<PAGE>

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 are currently Year 2000 compliant.

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 all essential 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 has received written
verification from substantially all of its critical vendors that they will be
Year 2000 compliant by the end of the year.  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 Disclosures 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 August 1999, the Company issued 630,000 shares of Common
                Stock upon exercise of an outstanding stock option for an
                aggregate exercise price of $1,400,000 to an investor of the
                Company in reliance upon the exemption from registration under
                Section 4 (2) of the Securities Act.

                                       11
<PAGE>

           (2) During the three months ended September 30, 1999, the Company
               issued 151,628 shares of Common Stock upon the exercise of
               outstanding stock options under the Company's 1992 Stock Option
               Plan for an aggregate offering price of $53,270 to employees of
               the Company in reliance upon the exemption from registration
               under Rule 701 promulgated under the Securities Act.

           In light of the circumstances under which such shares of Common Stock
           were issued and information obtained by the Company in connection
           with such transactions, the Company believes that it may rely on such
           exemptions.

      (d)  Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities.

           (1) The effective date of the Securities Act registration statement
               for which the use of proceeds information is being disclosed was
               February 3, 1999, and the Commission file number assigned to the
