                         (A Development Stage Company)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Unaudited)


1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In  the  opinion  of  management,   the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain all adjustments  (consisting of normal  recurring  accruals)
necessary to present fairly the Company's  financial  position as of October 31,
2000 and the results of operations for the three month periods ended October 31,
2000 and 1999 and the period from August 24, 1981 (date of inception) to October
31, 2000.  The results of operations for the three months ended October 31, 2000
are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

     The  Company is a  development  stage  company as defined in the  Financial
Accounting  Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.
The Company is devoting substantially all of its present efforts to establishing
a new  business.  Its  planned  principal  operations  have not  commenced  and,
accordingly, no significant revenue has been derived therefrom.

     Effective  August 1, 1998,  the  Company  adopted  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130 ("SFAS 130"), Reporting  Comprehensive Income. SFAS
130 establishes new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive  income
and its components. The net loss of $60,000 and $714,000, recorded for the three
months  ended  October  31,  2000  and  1999,  respectively,  is  equal  to  the
comprehensive loss for those periods.

     The Company has reported net losses since its inception.  Also, the Company
has limited liquid resources.  The report of the Company's  independent auditors
on the Company's  July 31, 2000  financial  statements  included an  explanatory
paragraph  which states that the Company's  recurring  losses,  working  capital
deficit and limited liquid resources raise substantial doubt about the Company's
ability to continue as a going  concern.  The  financial  statements at July 31,
2000 or October 31, 2000 do not include any  adjustments  that might result from
the outcome of this uncertainty.

     The  Company's  continued  operations  will  depend on its ability to raise
additional  funds  through  various  potential  sources  such as equity and debt
financing,  collaborative agreements, strategic alliances, sale of tax benefits,
revenues from the commercial sale of ONCONASE(R) and

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, continued

                                   (Unaudited)

1.   ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION, continued

its  ability  to  realize  the full  potential  of its  technology  and its drug
candidates.  Such  additional  funds may not  become  available  as needed or be
available on acceptable  terms. To date, a significant  portion of the Company's
financing has been through private placements of common stock and warrants,  the
issuance  of common  stock for stock  options  and  warrants  exercised  and for
services rendered,  debt financing and financing provided by the Company's Chief
Executive Officer. Additionally, the Company has raised capital through the sale
of its  tax  benefits.  Until  the  Company's  operations  generate  significant
revenues, the Company will continue to fund its operations from cash on hand and
through the sources of capital previously  described.  After taking into account
the net proceeds  received  from the sale of its tax benefits in December  2000,
the Company  believes that its cash and cash  equivalents as of October 31, 2000
will be sufficient to meet its anticipated cash needs through April 2001.

2.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

     "Basic"  earnings  (loss) per common share equals net income (loss) divided
by weighted  average  common  shares  outstanding  during the period.  "Diluted"
earnings  (loss)  per  common  share  equals  net  income  divided by the sum of
weighted average common shares  outstanding  during the period plus common stock
equivalents.  The  Company's  Basic and Diluted  per share  amounts are the same
since the assumed exercise of stock options and warrants are all anti- dilutive.
The amount of options and warrants  excluded from the  calculation was 6,537,712
and 5,665,715 at October 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

3.   CAPITAL STOCK

     In August  2000,  the  Company  issued  11,800  shares of common  stock for
payment of services  rendered.  The fair value of the common stock in the amount
of $10,030 was charged to operations.

     In August and  September  2000,  the Company  sold an  aggregate of 333,332
shares  of  common  stock to  private  investors  at a price of $1.50  per share
resulting in net proceeds of $499,692 to the Company.  In addition,  the private
investors  were granted  five-year  warrants to purchase an aggregate of 166,666
shares of common stock at per share exercise price of $3.00.

4.   SALE OF NET OPERATING LOSSES

     In September  2000,  the Company  issued 40,000 shares of common stock upon
the exercise of stock options by a related party  resulting in gross proceeds of
$16,100 to the Company.

     New Jersey has enacted legislation  permitting certain corporations located
in New  Jersey to sell  state tax loss  carryforwards  and  state  research  and
development  credits or tax  benefits.  For the state  fiscal year 2001 (July 1,
2000 to June 30, 2001),  the Company has $1,774,000 total available tax benefits
of which  $602,000  was  allocated  to be sold between July 1, 2000 and June 30,
2001. In December 2000, we received  $451,000 from the sale of the allocated tax
benefits which was recognized as a tax benefit for the quarter ended October 31,
2000. We will attempt to sell the  remaining  balance of our tax benefits in the
amount of  approximately  $1,172,000  between  July 1,  2001 and June 30,  2002,
subject to all existing  laws of the State of New Jersey.  However,  there is no
assurance  that the Company will be able to find a buyer for our tax benefits or
that such funds will be available in a timely manner.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        of Operations.

     Information   contained   herein   contains,   in  addition  to  historical
information,  forward-looking  statements that involve risks and  uncertainties.
All  statements,  other  than  statements  of  historical  fact,  regarding  our
financial  position,  potential,  business  strategy,  plans and  objectives for
future  operations  are  "forward-looking   statements."  These  statements  are
commonly  identified  by  the  use  of  forward-looking  terms  and  phrases  as
"anticipates,"  "believes,"  "estimates,"  "expects," "intends," "may," "seeks,"
"should,"  or "will' or the  negative  thereof  or other  variations  thereon or
comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. We cannot assure that the
future results covered by these forward-looking statements will be achieved. The
matters  set forth in  Exhibit  99.1 to our  annual  report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal  year ended  July 31,  2000 which is  incorporated  herein by  reference,
constitute cautionary  statements  identifying important factors with respect to
these  forward-looking  statements,  including certain risks and  uncertainties,
that could cause actual  results to vary  significantly  from the future results
indicated in these  forward-looking  statements.  Other factors could also cause
actual  results to differ  significantly  from the future  results  indicated in
these forward-looking statements.

Results of Operations

Three month periods ended October 31, 2000 and 1999

     Revenues.  We are a  development  stage company as defined in the Financial
Accounting  Standards Board's Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.
We are devoting  substantially  all of our present efforts to establishing a new
business and developing new drug products.  Our planned principal  operations of
marketing and/or licensing of new drugs have not commenced and, accordingly,  we
have not derived any significant revenue from these opeations.  We focus most of
our productive and financial  resources on the development of ONCONASE(R) and as
such we have not had any sales in the three  months  ended  October 31, 2000 and
1999.  Investment  income for the three months ended October 31, 2000 was $4,000
compared to $15,000 for the same period last year,  a decrease of $11,000.  This
decrease was due to lower balances of cash and cash equivalents.

     Research and  Development.  Research and development  expense for the three
months  ended  October 31, 2000 was  $368,000  compared to $572,000 for the same
period last year, a decrease of $204,000 or 36%. This decrease was primarily due
to a decrease in expenses in preparation of an NDA filing for  ONCONASE(R)  with
the FDA, a decrease in costs in support of on-going  Phase III  clinical  trials
for ONCONASE(R) for malignant mesothelioma and a decrease in personnel costs.


                                      - 9 -
<PAGE>

     General  and  Administrative.  General and  administrative  expense for the
three  months ended  October 31, 2000 was $146,000  compared to $156,000 for the
same period last year, a decrease of $10,000 or 7%. This  decrease was primarily
due to a reduction  in non-cash  expense  relating to stock  options  issued for
consulting services.

     Income  Taxes.  New  Jersey  has  enacted  legislation  permitting  certain
corporations  located  in New Jersey to sell  state tax loss  carryforwards  and
state  research and  development  credits or tax benefits.  For the state fiscal
year 2001 (July 1, 2000 to June 30,  2001),  our  company has  $1,774,000  total
available  tax benefits of which  $602,000 was allocated to be sold between July
1, 2000 and June 30, 2001. In December 2000, we received  $451,000 from the sale
of the  allocated  tax benefits  which was  recognized  as a tax benefit for the
quarter ended October 31, 2000. We will attempt to sell the remaining balance of
our tax benefits in the amount of approximately  $1,172,000 between July 1, 2001
and June 30,  2002,  subject to all  existing  laws of the State of New  Jersey.
However,  we cannot  assure you that we will be able to find a buyer for our tax
benefits or that such funds will be available in a timely manner.

     Net Loss. We have incurred net losses during each year since our inception.
The net loss for the three months ended October 31, 2000 was $60,000 as compared
to $714,000 for the same period last year, a decrease of $654,000, primarily due
to the sale of our tax benefits. The cumulative loss from the date of inception,
August 24, 1981 to October 31, 2000,  amounted to  $56,737,000.  Such losses are
attributable  to the  fact  that  we are  still  in the  development  stage  and
accordingly have not derived  sufficient  revenues from operations to offset the
development stage expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We have financed our operations  since inception  primarily  through equity
and debt financing, research product sales and interest income. During the three
months  ended  October  31,  2000,  we  had a net  decrease  in  cash  and  cash
equivalents  of  $110,000,  which  resulted  primarily  from  net  cash  used in
operating  activities  of  $625,000,  offset by net cash  provided by  financing
activities of $515,000, primarily from the private placement of common stock and
warrants and proceeds from the exercise of stock  options.  Total cash resources
as of October 31, 2000 were $147,000 compared to $257,000 at July 31, 2000.

     Our current  liabilities  as of October 31, 2000 were $525,000  compared to
$590,000 at July 31, 2000, a decrease of $65,000. The decrease was primarily due
to the payment of outstanding payables.

     Our  continued  operations  will depend on our ability to raise  additional
funds  through  various  potential  sources  such as equity and debt  financing,
collaborative agreements,  strategic alliances,  sale of tax benefits,  revenues
from the  commercial  sale of  ONCONASE(R)  and our  ability to realize the full
potential of our technology and our drug  candidates.  Such additional funds may
not become  available as we need them or be available on  acceptable  terms.  To
date, a significant


                                     - 10 -
<PAGE>

portion of our financing has been through private placements of common stock and
warrants,  the issuance of common stock for stock options and warrants exercised
and for services  rendered,  debt financing and financing  provided by our Chief
Executive Officer.  Additionally, we have raised capital through the sale of our
tax  benefits.  Until our  operations  generate  significant  revenues,  we will
continue to fund operations from cash on hand and through the sources of capital
previously  described.  After  taking into  account the net proceeds we received
from the sale of our tax benefits in December 2000, we believe that our cash and
cash  equivalents  as of  October  31,  2000  will be  sufficient  to  meet  our
anticipated  cash  needs  through  April  2001.  The  report of our  independent
auditors  on our July 31, 2000  financial  statements  included  an  explanatory
paragraph  which states that our recurring  losses,  working capital deficit and
limited liquid resources raise  substantial  doubt about our ability to continue
as a going  concern.  Our financial  statements at July 31, 2000 and October 31,
2000 do not include any  adjustments  that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

     We will  continue to incur costs in  conjunction  with our U.S. and foreign
registrations  for  marketing  approval  of  ONCONASE(R).  We are  currently  in
discussions with several potential strategic alliance partners,  including major
international  biopharmaceutical  companies,  to  further  the  development  and
marketing of ONCONASE(R) and other related products in our pipeline. However, we
cannot assure you that any such  alliances will  materialize.  We intend to seek
marketing approvals for ONCONASE(R) for the treatment of malignant  mesothelioma
in foreign  territories.  In October  2000, we filed an  application  for Orphan
Medicinal  Product  Designation for ONCONASE(R) with the European Agency for the
Evaluation of Medicinal  Products,  or EMEA.  Our  application  was accepted for
consideration,  and the review was  initiated by EMEA. We expect an opinion from
the  EMEA in the  first  calendar  year of 2001.  Simultaneously,  we are in the
process of expanding  our  clinical  program in Germany and Italy.  However,  we
cannot assure you that  marketing  approval for  ONCONASE(R)  as a treatment for
malignant mesothelioma will be granted.

     New Jersey has enacted legislation  permitting certain corporations located
in New  Jersey to sell  state tax loss  carryforwards  and  state  research  and
development  credits or tax  benefits.  For the state  fiscal year 2001 (July 1,
2000 to June 30, 2001),  our company has $1,774,000 total available tax benefits
of which  $602,000  was  allocated  to be sold between July 1, 2000 and June 30,
2001. In December 2000, we received  $451,000 from the sale of the allocated tax
benefits which was recognized as a tax benefit for the quarter ended October 31,
2000. We will attempt to sell the  remaining  balance of our tax benefits in the

subject to all  existing  laws of the State of New  Jersey.  However,  we cannot
assure  you that we will be able to find a buyer  for our tax  benefits  or that
such funds will be available in a timely manner.

     Our common stock was delisted from The Nasdaq SmallCap Market  effective at
the close of  business  April 27, 1999 for failing to meet the minimum bid price
requirements set forth in the NASD Marketplace  Rules. As of April 28, 1999, our
common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "ACEL". Delisting
of our common stock from Nasdaq could have a


                                     - 11 -
<PAGE>

material  adverse  effect  on our  ability  to  raise  additional  capital,  our
stockholders' liquidity and the price of our common stock.

     The market  price of our  common  stock is  volatile,  and the price of the
stock could be  dramatically  affected one way or another  depending on numerous
factors.  The market price of our common stock could also be materially affected
by the marketing approval or lack of approval of ONCONASE.
