3.   Net Loss Per Common Share
     -------------------------
Net  income  (loss)  per common share for the nine-month  periods
ended March 31, 1996 and March 31, 1995 has been computed on  the
basis  of  the  weighted number of common shares  outstanding  of
2,080,308 and 1,925,201 at March 31, 1996 and 1995 respectively.

4.   Credit Arrangements - Birklea, Ltd.
     -----------------------------------
Effective  November 30, 1993, the Company entered into  a  Credit
Agreement with Birklea, Ltd, a major shareholder of the  Company,
whereby  Birklea, Ltd. agreed to use its best efforts to  provide
up  to  $10,000,000 in financing to the Company.  Advances  under
the  arrangement  bear  interest at  prime  rate  set  by  Morgan
Guaranty  Bank,  New  York.   The  convertible  promissory   note
thereunder is secured by the Company's right, title and  interest
in  patent applications, patents, trade names, know-how and trade
secrets   relating  to  existing  and  future  drug  formulations
relating  to the drug commonly known as AZT.  At March 31,  1996,
the  Company  had drawn down $1,667,000 pursuant  to  the  Credit
Agreement.   Subject  to  the  Company  having  sufficient   cash
resources  or  alternative  borrowing  resources,  principal   is
payable   July  15,  1996  and  interest  is  payable   quarterly
commencing  March 31, 1994.  No interest has been  paid  on  this

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

decreased by $170,395 to $319,681, which was due to the loss  for
the period of $1,264,293.

  Operations
  ----------
Comparison of the nine-month periods ended  March  31, 1996 and March 31, 1995
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net  sales  decreased  for  the period  by  27%  from  the  prior
corresponding period and relate to snack items.  Cost of sales is
down for the period, reflective of the lower sales.  Research and
development  costs are down $317,400 from the corresponding  1995
period.

The  net  loss  for the nine months increased $942,649  from  the
prior year, due to a reduction in licensing income.

The  Company continues to seek industry partners, both  U.S.  and
international,  for  licensing  agreements  for   the   Company's
research  products.  In addition, the Company continues  to  seek
opportunities   to  perform  research  with   respect   to   drug
formulations on a contract basis.


  Liquidity and Capital Resources
  -------------------------------
During  the  past several months the Company has  been  dependent
upon the sale of common stock pursuant to Regulation S under  the
Securities Act of 1933 to fund administration expenses and to pay
for  ongoing clinical trials.  It is estimated that an additional
$145,000  during the next three months will be required  for  the
Phase  III  Aztec  clinical trials.  The  Company  is  currently
seeking   funding  from  outside  sources,  including   licensing
arrangements.   There  is  no  assurance  such  funding  will  be
available,  or if available, on terms favorable or acceptable  to
the  Company.   During February and March, 1996 the Company  sold
63,637 shares of common stock for a total of $175,001 pursuant to
Regulation  S  under the Securities Act of 1993 to a non-resident
of  the  U.S.   These funds were to pay for clinical  trials  and
general and administrative expenses.

Except  as  indicated  above, there are no  planned  expenditures
outside  the  normal  operating costs of the Company  which  will
cause  the  Company to make any extraordinary plans for  handling
any cash requirements within the foreseeable future.
