NOTES TO SUMMARIZED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The interim financial  statements  presented here have been prepared in
conformity with the accounting  principles and practices and methods of applying
the same (including  consolidating  practices) reflected in the Annual Report of
the  Company  on Form 10-K for the year  ended  March 31,  1997  filed  with the
Commission,  except that  detailed  footnotes  and  schedules  are not included.
Reference is hereby made to the footnotes and schedules  contained in the Annual
Report.  All  significant  intercompany  balances  and  transactions  have  been
eliminated and, in the opinion of management,  all  adjustments,  which are of a
normal  recurring  nature  only,  necessary  to present a fair  statement of the
results of the Company and its subsidiaries have been made.

NOTE B -- EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Net income per common  share is computed by dividing  net income,  less
preferred dividends,  by the weighted average number of common shares and common
share  equivalents  (if  dilutive)  outstanding  during  the  period.  Preferred
dividends of $105,438 and $210,876 were paid for the  three-month  and six-month
periods ended  September 30, 1997, and used in the  calculation but not paid for
the three-month and six-month  periods ended September 30, 1996.  Undeclared and
unaccrued  cumulative  preferred  dividends at September  30, 1997 and 1996 were
$2,203,650  and $2,098,212, respectively.  Common share  equivalents  consist of
those common shares that would be issued upon the exercise of outstanding  stock
options.  The weighted  average number of shares used in the  computations  were
12,214,620 and  12,034,886  for the quarters ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively,  and 12,202,141  and  12,060,398  for the six-month  periods ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Item 2.  Management's  Discussion  and  Analysis of Results of  Operations,  and
         Liquidity and Capital Resources

         (a) Results of Operations
          
         Revenues.  Consolidated  revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 1998
totaled  $21.9  million,  compared to $13.1  million  for the second  quarter of
fiscal 1997,  an increase of $8.8  million,  or 67%.  Year-to-date  consolidated
revenues were $40.1 million,  an increase of $13.9 million,  or 53%, compared to
the same period last year. The increase in sales volume for both the quarter and
year-to-date  is primarily  attributable to continued  growth being  experienced
from sales of new and existing products.  ETHEX sales increased by $8.7 million,
or 95%, in the second  quarter and were up $13.1 million,  or 70%,  year-to-date
over the same periods of the prior year. Particle Dynamics and Contract Services
revenues increased $.1 million,  or 2%, and $.8 million,  or 11%,  respectively,
for the  three-month  and  six-month  periods ended  September  30, 1997.  These
increases  were  attributable  to increased  sales volume of existing  products.
<PAGE>

         Costs and Expenses.  Manufacturing  costs  increased as a percentage of
net sales to 57% in the quarter  ended  September  30, 1997 from 51% in the same
period  last year.  Year-to-date  manufacturing  costs as a percent of net sales
increased to 56% from 53% for the six months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996,
respectively.  These increases were primarily attributable to changes in the mix
of products sold.  

         Research and  development  costs  increased  $.3 million or 22% for the
quarter  ended  September  30,  1997,  compared to the same quarter of the prior
year.  Year-to-date,  these costs increased $.6 million, or 26%, compared to the
same period of the prior year.  These  increases were primarily due to increased
personnel  and supply costs to support  higher  levels of research  activity and
clinical  studies in connection with new product and drug delivery  development.


         Selling and administrative  expenses increased $.7 million,  or 20% for
the quarter ended  September 30, 1997,  compared to the same period of the prior
fiscal  year  but  decreased  to 19% from 27% as a  percent  of total  revenues.
Year-to-date  selling and administrative  expenses increased $1 million, or 15%,
over the same  period  last year but  decreased  to 20% from 26% as a percent of
total  revenues.   Increased  expenditures  were  primarily  related  to  higher
marketing,   selling  and  administrative  costs  associated  with  new  product
introductions and expansion of existing business.

         Interest  expense  increased $.1 million for the second quarter and $.1
million for the six-month period ended September 30, 1997,  compared to the same
periods of the prior  fiscal  year.  The  increase for the first two quarters of
fiscal 1998 resulted  from the  long-term  borrowing to purchase a facility that
had previously  been leased.  

         Pretax income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 was $3.6 million
compared  to $1.6  million  in the prior  year  quarter,  an  increase  of 125%.
Year-to-date  pretax  income was $6.3  million  compared to $2.9 million for the
prior  period,  an  increase  of 115%.  These  improvements  were the  result of
continued sales growth. 

         For the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had a
current provision for income taxes of $2,294,088 and $60,000,  respectively. The
fiscal 1998  provision  was based on the estimated  federal and state  statutory
rates, while the fiscal 1997 provision was based on the alternative minimum tax,
since no provision for income taxes was otherwise  made as a result of available
net operating loss carryforwards. No loss carryforwards are available for fiscal
1998.  

         Net Income.  As a result of the  factors  described  above,  net income
improved  $.6  million,  or 37%,  for the  second  quarter  of  fiscal  1998 and
year-to-date  improved $1.1 million, or 40%, compared to the same periods of the
prior year.

</TABLE>

         During the quarter ended September 30, 1997,  working capital increased
$1.3 million,  or 5% to $26.1 million while cash and cash equivalents  decreased
$2.5  million.  Working  capital  for the six months  ended  September  30, 1997
increased  $1.1  million,  or 5%.  Net cash used in  operations  of $.3  million
consisted of an increase in accounts receivable of $7 million,  principally from
increased  sales volume,  and an increase in  inventories  of $3.5  million,  to
support  the  additional  sales  volume  and  seasonal  business   requirements,
partially offset by an increase in accounts  payable and accrued  liabilities of
$5.2  million.  Borrowings  reflected an increase of $3.5 million as a result of
purchasing a facility that had previously been leased.


         Investing  activities  for fiscal 1998 for property and equipment  were
$6.5 million and net  expenditures  for other assets of $.5 million,  with funds
being provided from cash and long-term  borrowing.  The debt to debt-plus-equity
and total  liabilities  to equity  ratios  for the  first six  months  increased
primarily  as a result of the debt  created to finance the  purchase of a leased
facility and increased accrued  liabilities  incurred to finance increased sales
and related operations.

         The Company's  cash and cash  equivalents on hand at September 30, 1997
were $3.7 million. In addition, the Company currently has in place a $20 million
credit facility with LaSalle  National Bank. This credit facility  consists of a
three year,  unsecured revolving line of credit and letters of credit to support
the Company's requirements.

         Although  the  Company  generally  has been  able to pass  along to its
customers at least a portion of cost increases in labor,  manufacturing  and raw
material  costs,  in certain  instances no increases  have been  effected due to
market conditions. It is not meaningful to compare changing prices over the past
several years because the products, product formulas, product mix and sources of
raw materials have varied substantially.

         The Company expects to continue to increase expenditures and investment
for research,  clinical and regulatory  efforts  relating to the development and
commercialization  of  proprietary  new  products  and  advanced  drug  delivery
technology products and their approval for marketing.

         The Company  believes funds  generated  from  operating  activities and
existing cash,  together with the funds  available under its credit facility and
the funds  provided  from  licensing  agreements,  will be  adequate to fund the
Company's  current  requirements  arising from the continued  sales growth being
experienced.

(1)   The two-class method for Class A and Class B common stock is not presented
      because the earnings per share are  equivalent to the if converted  method
      since  dividends  were not declared or paid and each class of common stock
      has equal ownership of the Company.

(2)   This  calculation is submitted  although it is contrary to Paragraph 40 of
      APB  Opinion  No. 15 as it produces an  anti-dilutive  result.  Also,  the
      preferred stock would not qualify as a common share equivalent because the
      cash  yield  at  issuance  was not less  than 66 2/3% of the then  current
      average Aa corporate bond yield.
