          NOTES TO UNAUDITED, CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Basis of Presentation:
    
    The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements are unaudited 
    and have been prepared on a basis substantially consistent with the audited 
    financial statements.  Certain information and footnote disclosures 
    normally included in the Company's annual financial statements have been
    condensed or omitted pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission's 
    rules and regulations.  The consolidated interim financial statements, in
    the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (including normal 
    recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for
    the interim periods.

    The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily
    indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the fiscal
    year.  These consolidated interim financial statements should be read
    in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended
    December 31, 1995, which are contained in the Company's Annual Report
    on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, filed with

3.  Subsequent Events
    -----------------
    As of April 4, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 
    retroviral diagnostic business to bioMerieux Vitek, Inc. (bioMerieux), 
    for $6.5 million in cash.  The transaction, which is subject to approval 
    of the Bankruptcy Court, is included as part of CBC's plan of reorganization
    filed under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  Under the agreement,
    bioMerieux will acquire, through the acquisition of the stock of CBC,
    CBC's retroviral intellectual property, which includes patents and 
    licenses to manufacture and sell diagnostic screening and confirmatory
    tests for HIV-1, HIV-2, HTLV-II and HTLV-II and Lyme disease.  bio-
    Merieux will also acquire CBC's diagnostic manufacturing operations in
    Rockville, Maryland, and will enter into a long-term lease from CBC for
    CBC's Rockville manufacturing facilities.  The transaction is expected
    to close upon confirmation of the reorganization plan by the Bankruptcy
    Court.

    On April 10, 1996, CBC filed a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11
    of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.  The disclosure statement describing the
    plan is subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court.  The plan requires
    approval of CBC's creditors and shareholders and confirmation by the 
    Bankruptcy Court.  The proposed reoganization plan will establish a new
    company, Aquila Biopharmaceuticals, Inc.(Aquila), engaged in the 
    development and commercialization of products that stimulate the immune 
    system for treating infectious diseases and cancer.  CBC will transfer to 
    Aquila all of its assets, liabilities and intellectual property except for 
    the diagnostic business.  The plan anticipates that the enterics 
    (intestinal diseases) and human Lyme EIA diagnostic business will be sold 
    to Carter-Wallace (See following paragraph), and CBC will then be sold to 
    bioMerieux.

    As of May 1, 1996, CBC entered into an agreement to sell its enterics
    (intestinal diseases) and human Lyme EIA diagnostic business to Carter-
    Wallace for $4.5 million in cash.  Under the agreement, which is subject
    to approval of the Bankrupcty Court, Carter-Wallace will acquire four
    diagnostic tests for intestinal pathogens and a diagnostic test for
    Lyme disease.  The transaction also includes a six-month contract for CBC
    to manufacture the products for Carter-Wallace at its manufacturing 
    facility in Worcester, Massachusetts.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
- -----                                                                     
The Company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States 
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11") on July 7, 1994 and is managing its assets 
and operating its businesses as a debtor in possession pursuant to a
voluntary petition filed in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the 
District of Massachusetts, Western Division.  Since the Chapter 11 filing,
management has spent considerable time reviewing the Company's strategic
direction, as well as specific products and programs.  It has sold or 
disposed of certain assets and operations of the Company which did not fit
within the business plan for reorganizing the Company.  The Company has 
entered into agreements for the sale of its retrovirus and enterics 
diagnostic businesses (see also footnote 3, subsequent events, in Notes 
to Unaudited, Consolidated Interim Financial Statements).  Both sales must 
be approved by the Bankruptcy Court.  The sale of the retrovirus business  
is also subject to confirmation of the Company's plan of reorganization by
the Bankruptcy Court.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

Revenues were $7,387,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared 
to $5,848,000 in the same period in 1995, (a 26% increase). 

Product sales increased to $5,589,000 in the first quarter of 1996 from
$4,210,000 for the same period in 1995 (a 33% increase).  The increase is 
primarily attributable to growth in the Company's European diagnostics sales 
and increases in certain antigen product sales, as well as increased sales by 
the Company's consolidated subsidiary, Cambridge Affilated Corporation 
("CAC"), in the first quarter of 1996 compared to the same period in 1995.  
Product sales of the diagnostics division represented $4,319,000 ( or 77%
of product sales) in the first quarter of 1996 compared to $3,579,000 (85%) 
for the same period in 1995.  CAC had product sales of $766,000 in the first 
quarter of 1996 compared to $587,000 for the same period in 1995.

Research and Development ("R&D") revenues were $1,346,000 in the
first quarter of 1996 as compared to $1,208,000 for the same period in 1995.   
The 11% increase is primarily due to revenue recorded on CBC's Mastitus 
project.

Royalty revenue slightly increased to $452,000 in the first quarter of 1996 
from $430,000 for the same period in 1995.

Cost of products sold as a percentage of product sales was 66% for the 
three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to 99% for the same period
in 1995.  Favorable product mix changes in 1996 compared to historical  
averages and the 1995 margin, and production difficulties on certain 
products in the first quarter of 1995 that resulted in significantly greater 
costs, are the primary reasons for the more favorable margin in 1996.

Research and development expenses decreased to $1,410,000 in the first
quarter of 1996 from $1,679,000 for the same period in 1995 due to 
certain product development costs, contract obligations, and employee 
stay incentives recorded in 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $2,063,000
in the first quarter of 1996 from $2,617,000 for the same period in 
1995 primarily due to employee stay incentives recorded in the first quarter 
of 1995 and a decrease in legal costs.

Chapter 11 related professional fees and interest earned on accumulated 
cash were $256,000 and $114,000, respectively for the three months ended 
March 31, 1996, compared to $273,000 and $108,000 for the same period in 1995. 

As a result of the above, the Company had income of $141,000 or $0.01 per 
share in the first quarter of 1996, as compared to a loss of $2,705,000 or 
$0.10 per share for the same period in 1995.

                                     
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The Company's ability to fund its long term operations beyond 1996 is
dependent on several factors, including the sale of the Company's diagnostics
businesses, the confirmation of a/the Company's reorganization, and the 
Company's ability to attract funding through additional public or private 
financing or collaborative arrangements.  There can be no assurance that 
adequate operating funds will be generated through the sale of the 
diagnostics business or that additional funding can be obtained on 
acceptable terms.

Cash and cash equivalents were $8,797,000 at March 31, 1996 compared to 
$6,856,000 at December 31, 1995 with the increase due primarily to the 
receipt of the 1996 license payment from a large pharmaceutical partner.

The net cash provided by operating activities was $1,883,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to net cash used in operating 
activity of $1,676,000 for the same period in 1995.  The primary non-cash 
items were depreciation and amortization of $1,043,000 and $1,199,000 for 
three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  The increase in
deferred revenue in the first quarter of 1996 is primarily the result of the
receipt of an annual license payment from a large pharmaceutical partner 
which is recognized evenly over the course of the year.  The company received
the 1995 payment in 1994 which is the primary reason for the reduction in
deferred revenue in the first quarter of 1995.  The increase in receivables
in the first quarter of 1996 primarily reflects the increase in product sales
during the quarter.  Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased in 1995 
due to patent related milestone obligations, employee retention bonus, and 
timing of expenditures.

The Company's investing activities provided cash of $58,000 for the three 
months ended March 31, 1996, compared to using cash of $167,000 for the same 
period in 1995.  The sale of some marketable securities was the primary reason
for the change in investing activities.

The Company had total working capital of $8,688,000 and current ratio of 
1.96 to 1 at March 31, 1996, compared to $7,977,000 and 2.15 to 1 at 
December 31, 1995.  However, the Company has approximately $9,900,000 in 
liabilities subject to Chapter 11 proceedings and if all of these liabilities 
were considered current liabilities, the current ratio would have been 0.94 
to 1 at March 31, 1996, compared to 0.89 to 1 at December 31, 1995.

                                     
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a Chapter 11 case, substantially all liabilities as of the date of filing
of the petition for reorganization are subject to settlement under a plan
of reorganization to be voted upon by the creditors and equity security 
holders and approved by the Bankruptcy Court.  The Company continues to
manage its affairs and operate its business as a debtor in possession, 
subject to the supervision of the Bankruptcy Court while the case is pending.
In the event a plan of reorganization is approved by the Bankruptcy Court,
continuation of the business after reorganization is dependent upon the
success of future operations and the Company's ability to meet obligations
as they become due.  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared 
on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, 
realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course 
of business.  As a result of the reorganization proceedings, the Company may 
have to sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle 
liabilities for amounts other than those reflected in the financial 
statements.  The financial statements do not give effect to adjustments to 
the carrying value of assets, or amounts and reclassification of liabilities 
that might be necessary as a consequence of these bankruptcy proceedings.  
The appropriateness of using the going concern basis is dependent upon, among
other things, confirmation of a plan of reorganization, success of future
operations, and the ability of the Company to generate sufficient cash
from operations and financing sources to meet its obligations. However, 
there can be no assurance that the above events will occur.
