NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
April 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 1998 the consolidated
statement of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30,1998 ("1998
Period") and 1997 ("1997 Period") and the consolidated statement of cash flows
for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1998 and 1997 have been prepared
by the Company without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly
the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at April 30, 1998
and for all periods presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these financial
statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The
results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 30, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a
statement of Financial Accounting standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per
Share" which is effective for both interim and annual financial statements for
periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company is required to change the
method previously used to compute earnings per share and restate all periods.
Under the new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the
dilutive effect of stock options and warrants will be excluded. The Company
adopted the provisions of SFAS No.128 the quarterly ended January 31, 1998.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" which
will be required to be adopted for fiscal year 1999. Under the statements'
"management approach", public companies will report financial and descriptive
information about their operating segments. Management does not expect that
adoption of SFAS No. 131 will have any impact on the Company's determination of
its operating segments.

2. On October 19, 1994 the Company executed a settlement agreement with Johnson
& Johnson, Inc. in the aggregate amount of $35.0 million pursuant to which the
Company received $ 15.0 million, and a promissory note requiring Johnson &
Johnson and its subsidiary, Ortho Diagnostics, Inc., to pay $5.0 million a year
for each of the four successive anniversaries of said date. These future
payments are recorded at net present value discounted using an interest rate of
5.25%. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement, all of the Company's grants,
licenses and intellectual property have been returned to the Company in
totality.
3. In March 1993, the Company filed suit in the United States District Court of
Delaware charging patent infringement and acts of unfair competition against
Calgene, Inc. and seeking a declaratory judgment of invalidity concerning
Calgene's plant antisense patent. On February 9, 1994, the Company filed a
second suit in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware
charging Calgene with infringement of a second antisense patent belonging to the
Company. Calgene filed a counterclaim in the second Delaware action seeking a
declaration of invalid on a third patent belonging to the Company. The two
Delaware actions were consolidated and were tried to the Court in April 1995. In
addition, the Company filed suit on March 22, 1994 in the United States District
Court for the Western District of Washington against Calgene and the Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, asserting that the defendants had conspired
to issue a false and misleading press release regarding a supposed "patent
license" from Hutchinson to Calgene, and conspired to damage the Company's
antisense patents by improperly using confidential information to challenge them
in the U.S. Patent Office. The complaint further charged Hutchinson with
infringing and inducing Calgene to infringe the Company's antisense patents.
On February 2, 1996 the Delaware Court issued an opinion ruling
against the Company and in favor of Calgene, finding certain claims infringed,
but the patent was found valid (non-obvious) over the prior art. On February 29,
1996, the Delaware Court issued an Order withdrawing its February 2, 1996
Opinion.
On April 3, 1997, the European Patent Office rejected Calgene's
opposition that had been lodged against the Company's related European antisense
patent, thereby upholding the patent's validity. On May 23, 1997 the Japanese
Patent Office issued a related antisense patent owned by the Company.
On June 1, 1998, the Court issued its revised decision maintaining its
finding that two Enzo Patents in-suit were invalid for non-enablement and were
not infringed by Calgene. Enzo intends to appeal the decision concerning the
invalidity of the two Enzo Patents. The Delaware Court did not find invalid a
third
11
<PAGE>
Enzo Patent in-suit, citing a lack of evidence. There can be no assurance
that the Company will be successful in any of the foregoing matters or that
Calgene and/or Hutchinson will not be successful. However, even if the Company
is not successful, management does not believe there will be a significant
monetary impact.
Item 2- Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company at April 30, 1998, had cash and cash equivalents of
$32,024,000 an increase of $6,774,000 from July 31,1997. The Company had working
capital of $50,973,000 at April 30, 1998 compared to $43,231,000 at July
31,1997.
The Company's income before taxes for the nine months ended April
30,1998 was $2,085,000 which includes depreciation and amortization aggregating
approximately $1,426,000. The Company's positive cash flow from operations was
sufficient to meet its current cash needs for the research and development
programs and other investing activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period
ended April 30,1998 was approximately $7,300,000 and includes $5.0 million of
cash received in connection with the litigation settlement with Johnson &
Johnson, Inc. as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of
$6,131,000 for the 1997 period which also includes $ 5.0 million of cash
received in connection with the litigation settlement with Johnson & Johnson,
Inc. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities from the 1997
period to the 1998 period was primarily due to the Company's increase in net
income offset by a net increase in the accounts receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $95,000 from the
1997 period primarily as a result of a decrease in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $362,000 from
the 1997 period primarily as a result of the decrease in proceeds from the
exercise of stock options.
12
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Nine months ended April 30,1998 compared with nine months ended April 30, 1997
Revenues from operations for the period ended April 30, 1998 increased
by $5,716,000 compared to revenues from operations for the nine month period
ended April 30, 1998. This increase was due to an increase of $5,801,000 in
revenue from the clinical reference laboratory operation offset by the decrease
of $85,000 in research products revenues resulting primarily from the Company's
non-exclusive distribution agreements for the Company's products. The increase
in revenues from the clinical reference laboratory operations resulted primarily
from an increase in volume of higher priced screening tests.
Cost of sales increased by approximately $526,000 as a result of a
decrease of $274,000 in the cost of sales of research products from the
Company's distribution agreements activities offset by an increase in the cost
of clinical laboratory services of $800,000, due to the increased volume of
esoteric tests.
Research and development expenses increased by approximately
$237,000 as a result of an increase in research programs and to a lesser extent
the increase in the amortization of patent costs.
The provision for uncollectable accounts receivable increased by
$3,856,000 primarily due to the increased revenues at the clinical reference
laboratory and that additional reserves were needed during the nine months ended
April 30, 1998 primarily to cover lower collection rates under the Federal
Medicare programs and other third-party insurance carriers. The health care
industry is undergoing significant change as third-party payors, such as
Medicare and other insurers, increase their efforts to control the cost,
utilization and delivery of health care services. In particular, the Company
believes that reductions in reimbursement for Medicare services will continue to
be implemented from time to time. Reductions in the reimbursement rates of other
third-party payors are likely to occur as well. Furthermore, the Company cannot
predict the effect health care reform, if enacted, would have on its business,
and there can be no assurance that such reforms, if enacted, would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.
Selling expenses increased approximately by $61,000, primarily due to
an increase in the marketing programs at the clinical reference laboratory.
General and Administrative expenses decreased by approximately $238,000
due to a decrease in legal fees.
13
<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Three months ended April 30,1998 compared with three months ended April 30, 1997
Revenues from operations for the period ended April 30,1998 increased
by $1,810,000 compared to revenues from operations for the three month period
ended April 30, 1998. This increase was due to an increase of $1,795,000 in
revenue from the clinical reference laboratory operation and by an increase of
$15,000 in research products revenues resulting primarily from the Company's
non-exclusive distribution agreements for the Company's products. The increase
in revenues from the clinical reference laboratory operations resulted primarily
from an increase in the volume of higher priced screening tests.
Cost of sales increased by approximately $297,000 as a result of a
increase of $76,000 in the cost of sales of research products from the Company's
distribution agreements activities and by an increase in the cost of clinical
laboratory services of $221,000, due to the increased volume of esoteric tests.
Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $28,000 as
a result of an decrease in the amortization of patent costs.
The provision for uncollectible accounts receivable increased by
$1,439,000 primarily due to the increased revenues at the clinical reference
laboratory and that additional reserves were needed during the three months
ended April 30, 1998 primarily to cover lower collection rates under the Federal
Medicare programs and other third-party insurance carriers. The health care
industry is undergoing significant change as third-party payors, such as
Medicare and other insurers, increase their efforts to control the cost,
utilization and delivery of health care services. In particular, the Company
believes that reductions in reimbursement for Medicare services will continue to
be implemented from time to time. Reductions in the reimbursement rates of other
third-party payors are likely to occur as well. Furthermore, the Company cannot
predict the effect health care reform, if enacted, would have on its business,
and there can be no assurance that such reforms, if enacted, would not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's business and operations.
Selling expenses decreased approximately by $26,000, primarily due to
an decrease in the marketing programs at the clinical reference laboratory.
General and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $211,000
due to a reduction in legal fees.
