      The Report on Schedule 13D filed by Michael F. Price, dated January
9, 1998, (the "Original Report"), is hereby amended and supplemented as set
forth below. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have
the meanings ascribed to them in the Original Report.

      Pursuant to Rule 13d-2(e) of the Exchange Act, which provides that an
amendment to a paper format Schedule 13D filed by a registrant that has
become subject to electronic filing shall be in electronic format and the
first such amendment shall restate the entire text of the Schedule 13D, the
Original Report is being filed as part of this Report as Attachment I
hereto and is hereby incorporated by reference herein for all purposes.
Because previously filed paper exhibits to a Schedule 13D are not required
to be restated electronically, exhibits to the Original Report are not
being refiled with this Report.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

      This Statement is being filed by Michael F. Price (the "Reporting
Person").

      The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States whose

LLC.

      During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or its subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with
respect to such laws.

      This statement relates to 2,916,600 shares of the common stock, par

Laboratories, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (the "Company"). The Company's
principal executive offices are located at 302 West Fayette Street,
Baltimore, Maryland 21201.

Item 2.  Identity and Background.

      Pursuant to Rule 13d-1(f) of Regulation 13D of the General Rules and
Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Act"), this
Statement is being filed by Michael F. Price (the "Reporting Person").

      The Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States whose
residential address is: 1180 Larger Cross Road, P.O. Box 434, Far Hill, New
Jersey 07931. The Reporting Person is President of Franklin Mutual Advisers
Inc., a mutual fund company.

      During the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been
convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors) and has not been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial
or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or its subject to a judgment, decree or final order
enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities
subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations with
respect to such laws.

      The Reporting Person has granted to Leslie B. Daniels, a citizen of
the United States whose business address is CAI Advisors & Co., 767 Fifth
Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10153 ("Daniels"), a Limited Power of
Attorney (the "Power of Attorney") authorizing Daniels to execute and file
this Statement on behalf of the Reporting Person. The Power of Attorney is
filed as an exhibit to this Statement.

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

      The source of funds used to purchase the securities will consist of
personal funds of the Reporting Person. The aggregate amount of funds
required to purchase the Shares and Warrants (as these terms are defined in
Item 4) being acquired by the Reporting Person is $1 million. The aggregate
exercise price of the Warrants being acquired by the Reporting Person is
$1.5 million

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

      The purpose of the acquisition of securities of the Company by the
Reporting Person is for investment. Except as discussed in this Item 4, the
Reporting Person currently has no plan or proposal that relates to, or
would result in, any of the actions enumerated in Item 4 of the
instructions to Schedule 13D.

      On December 4, 1997, CAI Advisors & Co. ("CAI"), Aster-Cephac S.A.
("Aster-Cephac"), and the Company entered into a Preferred Share and
Warrant Purchase Agreement (such agreement, along with the schedules
thereto, the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which CAI and Aster-Cephac
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 833,300 shares of the Company's Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 8,333,000 shares of Common
Stock (the "Shares") and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 6,250,000
shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.20 per share (the
"Warrants"). Under the Purchase Agreement, CAI was obligated to purchase
666,640 Shares and Warrants to purchase 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock,
and Aster-Cephac was obligated to purchase 166,660 Shares and Warrants to
purchase 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The terms of the Purchase
Agreement are described below in this Item 4.

      Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, CAI assigned to the Reporting
Person the right to acquire 166,660 Shares and Warrants to purchase
1,250,000 shares of Common Stock. The Reporting Person is filing this
Statement to reflect the assignment of such rights and the acquisition such
Shares and Warrants. The assignment agreement (the "Assignment Agreement")
pursuant to which CAI assigned its rights under the Purchase Agreement is
filed as an exhibit to this Statement.

      The Purchase Agreement provides that the Shares may be converted into
Common Stock at any time at the option of the holders and that holders will
be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of
the Common Stock and will be entitled to that number of votes equal to the
number of shares of Common Stock into which their Shares could be
converted. In addition, so long as the Conversion Shares (as hereinafter
defined) constitute at least 10% of the Total Shares Outstanding (as
hereinafter defined), holders of the Shares, voting as a separate class,
will have the right to elect that number of Directors to the Board of
Directors of the Company that bears the same proportion to the total number
of directors on the Board as the Conversion Shares bear to the Total Shares
Outstanding. So long as the Conversion Shares constitute at least 35% of
the Total Shares Outstanding, the holders of the Shares will have the right
to elect at least 50% of the Board members. "Conversion Shares" is defined
as the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Shares could be
converted plus the number of shares of Common Stock owned by CAI,
Aster-Cephac, their affiliates and certain assignees, regardless of how or
when acquired. "Total Shares Outstanding" is defined as the Company's
outstanding Common Stock, plus the number of shares of Common Stock into
which the Shares could be converted. Holders of the shares also will have
certain anti-dilution, dividend and liquidation rights. For a complete
description of the terms of the Shares, see Schedule 1.1B to the Purchase
Agreement, "Description and Designation of Class A Convertible Preferred
Stock," filed as an exhibit hereto.

      The Purchase Agreement provides that the Warrants will not be not
exercisable until the Company files an amendment to its charter increasing
the number of shares of Common Stock that it is authorized to issue.
Thereafter, the Warrants will be exercisable at any time until December
2000. For a complete description of the terms of the Warrants, see Schedule
1.1C to the Purchase Agreement, "Form of Warrant," filed as an exhibit
hereto.

      In addition, the Purchase Agreement provides that in the event that
the Company has not by April 30, 1998 filed an amended charter increasing
the number of shares that it is authorized to issue and reserved such
shares for issuance upon exercise of the Warrants, then the Warrants will
be cancelled and the Company will, for no additional consideration, issue
to the Reporting Person warrants to purchase an aggregate of 550,000 shares
of Common Stock at an exercise price of $.60 per share and otherwise having
terms substantially identical to the terms of the Warrants. The Purchase
Agreement further provides that the Common Stock underlying the Shares and
the Warrants will have certain registration rights and that the Company
will enter into a technology sharing agreement with Aster-Cephac. See
Schedules 5.2. and 5.3 to the Purchase Agreement, "Form of Registration
rights Agreement" and "Form of Technology Sharing Agreement," filed as
exhibits hereto.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

      In accordance with Rules 13d-3(d)(1)(i) and 13d-5(b)(1) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Reporting Person may be deemed to
beneficially own an aggregate of 2,916,600 shares of Common Stock, or
approximately 19.3% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock. The
Reporting Person will have the right to acquire 1,666,600 shares of Common
Stock, or approximately 11% of the Company's outstanding Common Stock,
based upon his ownership of Shares, and the right to acquire 1,250,000
shares of Common Stock, or approximately 8.3% of the Company's outstanding
Common Stock, based upon his ownership of Warrants. Other than as described
in this Statement, the Reporting Person has not purchased any of the
Company's securities during the past sixty days. The Reporting Person has
purchased Shares and Warrants solely for his own account, and not on behalf
of or as an officer of any other entity, including Franklin Mutual Advisers
Inc.

Item  6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with
          Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Agreement, and the Power of Attorney are filed as exhibits to this
Statement.
