                                (Unaudited)


A. In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments) necessary
to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of March
31, 1994 and the consolidated results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 and the statements of cash
flows for the three months then ended.  The accompanying
consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read
in conjunction with the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993.  The results of operations
for the three months ended March 31,1994 and 1993 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.  Certain reclassifications were made to the 1993 financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.

B. In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115,
Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities, effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1993. SFAS No. 115 requires that marketable equity securities and
all debt securities be classified into three categories: (i)
held-to-maturity debt securities, (ii) trading securities and (iii)
available-for-sale securities.  Held-to-maturity debt securities
are carried at amortized cost.Trading securities are carried at
fair market value with unrealized holding gains and losses included
in earnings.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair
market value with unrealized holding gains and losses excluded 
from earnings and reported separately as a component of
shareholders' equity until realized.  The Company adopted SFAS No.
115 as of January 1, 1994, and at March 31, 1994, the Company's 
investment securities have been classified as "available-for-sale,"
with an unrealized holding gain included as a separate component
of shareholders' equity in the amount of $4,303,000.  If the
Company had adopted SFAS No. 115 at December 31, 1993, the
unrealized holding gain in shareholders' equity would have been
approximately $12,200,000 at that date.

The Company sold approximately 67,000 shares of its investment in 
Marsam common stock during the three month period ended March 31,
1994, and recorded a gain of $956,000.  At March 31, 1994, the
Company owned 568,000 shares of Marsam common stock with a market
value of $7,100,000, included in marketable securities.

C.  Components of inventories are summarized as follows:

                                        March 31,    December 31,
                                           1994          1993     
             Raw materials             $  127,982     $  132,841  
             Work in process               97,650         67,207
              Finished goods             1,234,237      1,620,835

D. The Company has recognized income from Somerset Pharmaceuticals, 
   Inc. (Somerset), of $5,329,000 and $5,589,000 for the three    
   month periods ended March 31,1994, and March 31, 1993,
   respectively.  In addition, the Company has recognized income  
   from American Triumvirate Insurance Company (ATIC) of $197,000 
   and $210,000 for the three month periods ended March 31, 1994, 
   and March 31, 1993, respectively.<PAGE>

                                      (Continued)


The following unaudited information is provided for unconsolidated 
investments, accounted for utilizing the equity method, in the
aggregate:

                                         March 31,         
                                            1994           1993   

                  Net revenues         $24,157,000    $31,184,000
                  Gross profits        $20,757,000    $27,383,000
                     Net income        $10,254,000    $10,090,000

 Amounts previously reported for the quarter ended March 31, 1993, 
relating to the partnership with RPR are not included in the above
table.  These amounts have been reclassified to conform to
the current presentation, reflecting the restructured agreement
with RPR that became effective on September 1, 1993.

E. As of March 31, 1994, the Company had commitments to third     
   parties of approximately $3,200,000, for research and          
   development projects to be expended over the next three years.

F. Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average   
   number of common shares and equivalents outstanding for each   
   period.  The effect of stock options was less than 3% of the   
   weighted average shares outstanding in 1994, was antidilutive in 
   1993, and accordingly, was not included in earnings per share.

G. The Company, at March 31, 1994, was not required to provide for 
   federal or state income taxes as pretax income included income 
   which is excluded for tax purposes, with the remaining taxable
   income offset by the Company's net operating loss carryforward. 
   At March 31, 1994, the Company's net operating loss            
   carryforward, for federal income tax purposes, was 
   approximately $79,000,000,which, if not utilized, will begin to 
   expire in the year 2006.

H. On March 22, 1994, the Company announced a proposed merger with 
   Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co.,Inc. (Hi-Tech), a pharmaceutical firm    
   located on Long Island, in a transaction intended to be
   accounted for as a "pooling of interests."  The merger was     
   subject to the execution of a definitive agreement, satisfactory 
   completion of due diligence and approval by each 
   Company's shareholders. 
   On May 5, 1994, Circa announced that the companies were unable 
   to agree on certain terms and conditions and that discussions  
   regarding the merger were terminated.
I.  Pending Litigation:
     In the case entitled Cliff Westfall, et al. v. Circa 
     Pharmaceuticals, Inc. et al. pending in the Circuit
     Court for the County of Oakland, State of Michigan, the      
     plaintiffs' motion for class certification was
     denied.

   At December 31, 1993, the Company provided an allowance for the 
   estimated cost of all pending litigation.  Based upon the      
   information it presently possesses, the Company believes that  
   the outcome of all pending litigation will not have a material 
   adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position.<PAGE>

                     FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



ITEM 2.


Results of Operations

The Company reported net income of $3,874,000 for the three month
period ended March 31, 1994, compared to a net loss of $4,412,000
for the same period in 1993.  The primary reason for the
increase in net income in 1994 was the absence of a $4,242,000 loss

recognized from the partnership with RPR and a $3,000,000 legal
settlement, both incurred during the first quarter of 1993.  Income
in 1994 was primarily attributable to equity in earnings of
Somerset Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Somerset),a 50% owned joint
venture, of $5,329,000 and the gain on sales of 67,000 
shares of Marsam common stock of $956,000, which offset the
Company's loss from operations. Net sales were $1,234,000 during
the first quarter of 1994, compared to $358,000 for the same period
in 1993.  The sales increase from 1993 to 1994 was primarily due to
the marketing of a transdermal patch for the full quarter in 1994
versus only the month of March in 1993, when such sales originally 
commenced.

Research and development expenses were $1,498,000 in 1994, compared
to $1,039,000 in 1993, representing an increase of $459,000 or 44%. 
The primary reason for the increase was the Company's
expansion of its research and development program following the 
rehabilitation by the FDA in April 1993.  The Company is committed
to expanding its research and development program through both
internal efforts and joint venture arrangements with other
companies.

Manufacturing overhead was $949,000 in 1994, compared to $1,016,000
in 1993, representing a decrease of $67,000 or 7%.  These costs are
expected to be absorbed by the manufacturing process as new
products are introduced into the system through product approvals
obtained from the Company's internal research and development
program, as well as increased activity in contract      
manufacturing and joint venture projects with other companies.

Selling and administrative expenses were $1,461,000 in 1994, 
compared to $1,764,000 in 1993, representing a decrease of $303,000
or 17%.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction
in legal expenses as a significant portion of pending litigation
was resolved in 1993.  In addition, the Company did not incur costs
for FDA rehabilitation in 1994 as it did during the first quarter
of 1993. 
The Company received notification in April 1993 that it could
resume functioning under the standard framework of the FDA.

At March 31, 1994, the Company had a net operating loss carry
forward, for federal income tax purposes, of approximately
$79,000,000 which, if not utilized, will begin to expire in the
year 2006.

                  PART I - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                   FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                               (Continued)

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working capital increased from $34,800,000 at December 31, 1993 to 
$43,000,000 at March 31,1994.  The increase of $8,200,000 was
primarily attributable to an unrealized holding gain of
$4,303,000, included in shareholders' equity, resulting from the 
Company's adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and
Equity Securities, and dividends of $4,500,000 received from
Somerset.In addition, the Company received $1,108,000 from the
sales of Marsam common stock and $1,350,000 from other marketable
securities.  These increases were offset by funds used for
operating activities of $3,034,000.

At March 31, 1994, the Company had commitments of approximately 
$3,200,000 to third parties for research and development, which
will be expended over the next three years and be funded
through current working capital.  The Company does not anticipate 
significant capital expenditures relating to its facilities. 
Primary sources of working capital for 1994 will continue to be
dividends and management fees received from Somerset, proceeds from
sales of Marsam common stock and income earned on other marketable
securities.  The Company anticipates that its existing capital
resources are sufficient to meet its requirements based on its
current business plans.
