REPLIGEN CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Repligen
         Corporation (the "Company" or "Repligen") without audit, pursuant to
         the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
         financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
         accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
         rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that the
         disclosures made are adequate to ensure that the information presented
         is not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be
         read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes
         thereto included in the Company's 1995 Form 10-K, filed with the
         Securities and Exchange Commission.

         This financial information includes all adjustments (consisting of
         normal, recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary
         for a fair presentation of such information. The results of operations
         for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of
         results to be expected for the entire year.

         The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception
         and has undergone major restructurings of its operations. Accordingly,
         the Company has determined to focus its remaining resources on its core
         research and development activities. As part of its strategy, and in
         order to ensure that sufficient funds are available to support these
         activities, the Company is seeking to divest its manufacturing
         operations, restructure its long-term debts and reduce its overhead.
         See discussion under Item 2 - "Recent Developments". If this strategy
         cannot be successfully implemented, management believes that Repligen
         will have funds to continue operations through no later than September
         30, 1996. In that case, without additional significant financing in the
         first half of calendar 1996 from either an offering by the Company of
         its securities, from a third party funding, or the merger of the
         Company with or the acquisition of the Company by an entity capable of
         assisting Repligen to fund its operations, the Company will be forced
         to significantly curtail or cease operations or seek bankruptcy 
         protection.

2.       NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

         Primary net loss per common share has been computed by dividing net
         loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
         period. Common stock equivalents have not been included for any period
         as the effect would be antidilutive. Fully diluted net loss per common
         share has not been presented for any period as the amounts would not
         differ from primary net loss per common share.

3.       CASH EQUIVALENTS AND MARKETABLE SECURITIES

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
         maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be
         cash equivalents. Included in cash equivalents at December 31, 1995 are
         $5,354,000 of money market funds, $2,000,000 of commercial paper and
         $1,000,000 of bank time deposits. Investments with a maturity period of
         greater than three months are classified as marketable securities and
         consist of $1,000,000 of government agency bonds and notes and $364,000
         of collateralized mortgage obligations at December 31, 1995. These
         securities are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair
         market value at December 31, 1995.

4.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
         market and consist of the following:

5.       ELI LILLY AND COMPANY AGREEMENT

         Effective October 8, 1995, the collaboration and licensing agreement
         between Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") and Repligen for the joint
         development of products utilizing antibodies, antibody fragments and
         engineered polypeptides that bind to CD11b (the "CD11b Program") was
         terminated. The Company recognized revenues of approximately $167,000,
         $2,613,000, $1,609,000 and $4,691,000 for research and development
         performed during the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
         1995 and 1994, respectively. Under the terms of the agreement, the
         entire CD11b Program, including preclinical and clinical data packages
         for product candidates m60.1 and h60.1, were returned to the Company.

6.       REPLIGEN CLINICAL PARTNERS, L.P.

         The Company has granted Repligen Clinical Partners, L.P. (the
         "Partnership") an exclusive license to all technology and know-how
         related to the manufacture, use and sale of recombinant platelet
         factor-4 ("rPF4") in the United States, Canada and Europe (the
         "Technology"). The Company believes that rPF4 may be useful as (i) a
         neutralizing


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         agent to reverse the anticoagulant effects of heparin and (ii) a
         therapy in the treatment of certain solid tumor cancers. Under the
         terms of the agreements between the Partnership and its limited
         partners and the Company, the limited partners are entitled to various
         milestone payments and other royalties in the event that products
         derived from the Technology are successfully carried to market. The
         Company also has certain rights to purchase the limited partner
         interests. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Repligen
         Development Corporation, serves as the General Partner of the
         Partnership.

         Under the terms of a Product Development Agreement between the
         Partnership and the Company (the "Development Agreement"), the Company
         performs research and development activities and regulatory work and
         services in connection with the Technology on behalf of the Partnership
         (the "Research and Development Program"). The Partnership reimburses
         the Company for the research and development expenses incurred by the
         Company under the Development Agreement and pays the Company a
         management fee under the Development Agreement equal to 10% of such
         expenses.

         The Company anticipates that the Partnership will need in excess of $50
         million to complete the Research and Development Program and commence
         sales of products derived from the Technology. At December 31, 1995,
         the Partnership had working capital of $743,000 which it is utilizing
         for the continuation of the clinical development of the Technology. The
         Company estimates that these funds will be exhausted by the end of
         March or early April 1996. To date, the Company has not identified a
         joint venture partner or collaborator to fund the Research and
         Development Program. In addition, the Company does not currently have
         sufficient resources to fund the Research and Development Program on
         its own nor does it believe that an offering of securities by it or the
         Partnership sufficient in aggregate amount to fund the remainder of the
         Research and Development Program is currently feasible. Although the
         Company continues to believe in the viability of the Technology, the
         estimated cost of bringing products derived from the Technology to
         market and the Company's own limited financial resources have made the
         continued support of the Research and Development Program by the
         Company economically impractical. Under the terms of the Development
         Agreement, if the Company declines any request for funds by the
         Partnership, the Research and Development Program will terminate. No
         such request has yet been made. The Company understands that the
         Partnership is considering its alternatives and intends to explore all
         available options. The Company has pledged its full cooperation and
         support to the Partnership in this endeavor.

         Included in the accompanying statements of operations for the three and
         nine month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 are research and
         development revenues of approximately $951,000, $2,297,000, $819,000 
         and $3,729,000, respectively, recognized by the Company under the 
         Development Agreement. These amounts exclude for the three and nine 
         month periods ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 approximately $98,000,
         $271,000, $105,000 and $445,000, respectively, recognized by the 
         Company and included in other revenue, representing the 10% 
         management fee payable under the Development Agreement. These amounts
         also 


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
         exclude $1,641,000 of research and development expenses which were 
         incurred by the Company during fiscal 1995 that could have been 
         charged to the Partnership but were instead absorbed by the Company 
         to preserve the Partnership's funds. The Company currently expects 
         some revenues from the Partnership in respect of services performed 
         or to be performed by it for the Partnership during the fourth 
         quarter of fiscal 1996, although at a reduced rate from fiscal 1995. 
         Thereafter, the Company does not anticipate deriving any further 
         revenue from the Partnership.

         In connection with the initial capitalization of the Partnership, the
         Company issued warrants to purchase common stock of Repligen to the
         limited partners of the Partnership (the "Original Warrants"). In June
         1994, the Company completed an exchange pursuant to which a majority of
         the holders of the Original Warrants exchanged their Original Warrants
         for new warrants (the "Exchange Warrants"). Subsequently, in March
         1995, the Company offered to modify a majority of the remaining
         Original Warrants and the Exchange Warrants. Each holder of an
         outstanding warrant who was not then in default under its obligations
         to the Partnership was free to accept or reject such modifications. As
         of February 5, 1996, 623 1/2 of the 712 nondefaulted limited
         partnership units had accepted the modifications. Accordingly, as of
         that date, there were issued and outstanding Original Warrants to
         purchase 75,400 shares of the Company's common stock, modified Original
         Warrants to purchase 163,850 shares of the Company's common stock,
         Exchange Warrants to purchase 198,650 shares of the Company's common
         stock and modified Exchange Warrants to purchase 1,722,500 shares of
         common stock.

7.       RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

         During fiscal 1995, the Company substantially restructured its
         operations in an effort to reduce its current rate of expenditures and
         preserve its available cash and investment balances. In the second
         quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a charge of $975,000 to
         cover severance costs and related benefits, as well as certain rental
         losses associated with the sublease of certain facilities. During the
         fourth quarter of fiscal 1995, the Company recorded a charge of
         $10,325,000 to cover severance costs and related benefits, rental
         losses associated with the sublease of certain facilities, the
         write-off of certain leasehold improvements, equipment and intangible
         assets that will no longer be utilized and to reserve for future
         operating lease payments for equipment that will also no longer be
         utilized. The total restructuring charge of $11,300,000 included cash
         related expenditures of $6,545,000 and a non-cash charge of $4,755,000.
         The cash related expenditures consisted of $2,035,000 of severance and
         related benefits for approximately 140 terminated employees, $3,250,000
         of future operating lease payments for assets no longer being utilized,
         $940,000 of rental losses associated with the sublease of surplus lab
         and office space, and $320,000 of contract termination fees. The
         non-cash charge was related to the write-off of leasehold improvements,
         equipment and other intangibles no longer being utilized. As of
         December 31, 1995, approximately 


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
         $2,352,000 of the severance costs, benefit costs and contract 
         termination fees have been paid. As of December 31, 1995, 
         approximately $1,505,000 of the equipment and facility lease payments
         have been paid. The balance is scheduled to be paid through fiscal 
         1998; however, the Company is currently in default under the terms of
         three equipment leases. In September 1995, the lessors terminated an
         escrow agreement, released $1,000,000 in funds from the escrow account
         and applied these funds to the Company's future liabilities and
         obligations under the equipment leases. In January 1996, the lessors
         accelerated all future payments under these leases (the aggregate
         balance of all future rental payments under these leases was 
         ($2,569,000 at December 31, 1995, of which $2,277,000 is included in 
         accrued expenses at December 31, 1995). The aggregate amount claimed
         due by the equipment lessors, including penalties, default interest
         and value attributable to the underlying equipment, is approximately
         $3.7 million. The Company is currently negotiating with the equipment
         lessors and certain of the facility lessors for early lease 
         terminations and a reduction in lease obligations. See discussion 
         under Item 2 - "Recent Developments".
        
8.       COMMITMENTS

         In September 1995, the Company adopted an Incentive and Retention
         Program (the "Program") to retain employees essential to the operations
         of the Company. Under the terms of the Program, the Company made two
         payments of benefits of $320,000 on October 31, 1995 and $610,000 on
         December 31, 1995. The payment of $320,000 was accrued in the second
         quarter of fiscal 1996 and the payment of $610,000 was expensed in the
         quarter ended December 31, 1995.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Recent Developments
Repligen Clinical Partners, L.P. -

         The Company has granted Repligen Clinical Partners, L.P. (the
         "Partnership") an exclusive license to all technology and know-how
         related to the manufacture, use and sale of recombinant platelet
         factor-4 ("rPF4") in the United States, Canada and Europe (the
         "Technology"). The Company believes that rPF4 may be useful as (i) a
         neutralizing agent to reverse the anticoagulant effects of heparin and
         (ii) a therapy in the treatment of certain solid tumor cancers. Under
         the terms of the agreements between the Partnership and its limited
         partners and the Company, the limited partners are entitled to various
         milestone payments and other royalties in the event that products
         derived from the Technology are successfully carried to market. The
         Company also has certain rights to purchase the limited partner
         interests. A wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Repligen
         Development Corporation, serves as the General Partner of the
         Partnership.

         Under the terms of a Product Development Agreement between the
         Partnership and the Company (the "Development Agreement"), the Company
         performs research and development activities and regulatory work and
         services in connection with the Technology on behalf of the Partnership
         (the "Research and Development Program"). The Partnership reimburses
         the Company for the research and development expenses incurred by the
         Company under the Development Agreement and pays the Company a
         management fee under the Development Agreement equal to 10% of such
         expenses.

         The Company anticipates that the Partnership will need in excess of $50
         million to complete the Research and Development Program and commence
         sales of products derived from the Technology. At December 31, 1995,
         the Partnership had working capital of $743,000 which it is utilizing
         for the continuation of the clinical development of the Technology. The
         Company estimates that these funds will be exhausted by the end of
         March or early April 1996. To date, the Company has not identified a
         joint venture partner or collaborator to fund the Research and
         Development Program. In addition, the Company does not currently have
         sufficient resources to fund the Research and Development Program on
         its own nor does it believe that an offering of securities by it or the
         Partnership sufficient in aggregate amount to fund the remainder of the
         Research and Development Program is currently feasible. Although the
         Company continues to believe in the viability of the Technology, the
         estimated cost of bringing products derived from the Technology to
         market and the Company's own limited financial resources have made the
         continued support of the Research and Development Program by the
         Company economically impractical. Under the terms of the Development
         Agreement, if the Company declines any request for funds by the
         Partnership, the Research and Development Program will terminate. No
         such request 

                                       11
<PAGE>   12
         has yet been made. The Company understands that the Partnership is
         considering its alternatives and intends to explore all available
         options. The Company has pledged its full cooperation and support to
         the Partnership in this endeavor.          
        
Restructuring -

         The Company has determined to focus its remaining resources on its core
         research and development activities. As part of its strategy, and in
         order to ensure that sufficient funds are available to support these
         activities, the Company is seeking to divest its manufacturing
         operations, restructure its long-term debts and reduce its overhead.
         See Note 7 to notes to Consolidated Financial Statements -
         "Restructuring Charge".

         The Company has executed a letter of intent with Genzyme Corporation's
         General Division ("Genzyme") for the sale of Repligen's process
         development and contract manufacturing division, known as "Allegro
         Biologics" (the "Genzyme Transaction"). As part of the Genzyme
         Transaction, Genzyme has offered immediate employment to certain of
         Repligen's employees and will assume the Company's recombinant Protein
         A (Protein A(TM)) business. Genzyme will also contract to perform the
         Company's future process development and manufacturing requirements in
         connection with its on-going clinical programs under terms to be
         negotiated. The Genzyme Transaction is subject to the conclusion of a
         definitive asset purchase agreement and other conditions of closing.

         The Company is simultaneously negotiating with its equipment lessors
         and one of its facility lessors to restructure and work-out its
         long-term debts. The Company is presently in default under three
         operating equipment lease agreements and expects to default under a
         facility lease for a facility which is no longer used by the Company.
         In September 1995, certain of the equipment lessors terminated an
         escrow agreement, released $1 million in funds from the escrow account
         and applied these funds to the Company's future liabilities and
         obligations under the equipment leases. In January 1996, the equipment
         lessors accelerated all future payments under these leases. The
         aggregate amount claimed due by the equipment lessors as of the date of
         this report, including penalties, default interest and value 
         attributable to the underlying equipment is approximately 
         $3.7 million.  The Company has accrued the sum of $2,277,000 on
         account of the equipment leases which amount is reflected in the
         restructuring charge. See Note 7 to notes to Consolidated Financial
         Statements "Restructuring Charge". The consummation of the Genzyme
         Transaction is conditioned upon the Company coming to terms with its
         equipment lessors, as certain of the equipment subject to the
         equipment leases is required to be conveyed by Repligen to Genzyme as
         part of the transaction.

         There can be no assurance that the Company will come to terms with its
         long-term creditors or consummate the Genzyme Transaction. If the
         Company is unable to resolve its creditor disputes and/or close the
         Genzyme Transaction, the Company estimates that it will have funds to
         continue operations through no later than September 30, 1996. In that
         case, without additional financing during the first half of calendar 
         1996 from either an offering by Repligen of its securities, from 
         third party funding, or the merger of  Repligen with or acquisition of
         Repligen by an entity capable of assisting Repligen to fund its
         operations, Repligen will be forced to significantly curtail or cease
         operations or seek bankruptcy protection. Management believes that its
         chances of raising additional financing are not probable absent a
         restructuring of its long-term debts and divesture of its
         manufacturing operations for value. 



                                       12
<PAGE>   13

         If the Company is able to successfully implement its restructuring
         strategy and close the Genzyme Transaction, it estimates that it will
         have funds sufficient to continue operations through on or about June
         30, 1997. In any case, the Company will aggressively seek to
         out-license its technologies and pursue other strategic alternatives,
         such as merger or acquisition candidates and other joint venture or
         collaborative relationships. Additionally, the Company may seek, to the
         extent commercially practicable, to raise additional equity financing
         to reinvigorate its core research and development activities.


Results of Operations

Revenues -

         Total revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
         1995 were $2,104,000 and $9,960,000 as compared to $3,579,000 and
         $11,825,000 in the comparable fiscal 1995 periods.

         Research and development revenues for the three and nine month periods
         ended December 31, 1995 were $1,675,000 and $7,535,000 compared to
         $2,428,000 and $8,420,000 in the comparable fiscal 1995 periods. The
         decrease of $753,000 and $885,000, for the three and nine month periods
         ended December 31, 1995, respectively, from the comparable fiscal 1995
         periods is due to the reduction in revenue from Lilly for the
         anti-inflammation program, offset in part by a $525,000 license fee
         paid by Genentech, Inc. in December 1995 for the exclusive sublicense
         to make and sell antibody fragments, engineered polypeptides and other
         small molecules that bind to CD18 and CD11a. Total revenue derived from
         the Partnership for the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
         1995 were $951,000 and $2,297,000, compared to $819,000 and $3,729,000
         in the comparable fiscal 1995 periods. The decrease in revenues from
         the Partnership was caused by a decrease in the need for process
         development, pre-clinical research and manufacturing activity as both
         products under development have entered phase I/II clinical trials and
         is also due to lack of resources of the Partnership, limiting the
         Partnership's ability to fund the rPF4 program. In October 1995, costs
         related to the exchange offer to the Partnership were fully amortized,
         offsetting in part, the decline in Partnership revenues for the three
         month period ended December 31, 1995. In September 1995, following an
         internal portfolio review, Lilly terminated its collaboration and
         licensing agreement with the Company respecting the joint development
         of the CD11b Program. Under the terms of the Agreement, the entire
         CD11b Program, 

                                       13
<PAGE>   14
         including preclinical and clinical data packages for product 
         candidates m60.1 and h60.1, were returned to the Company. See Note 5 
         to notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

         Product revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December
         31, 1995 were $169,000 and $1,543,000, respectively, compared to
         $538,000 and $1,813,000 in the comparable fiscal 1995 periods. Fiscal
         1996 three and nine month periods product revenues decreased from the
         similar fiscal 1995 periods due primarily to the lower sales volume of
         the Company's rProtein A(TM) and diagnostic reagent products, offset in
         part by the recognition of contract service revenues of $29,000 and
         $549,000, respectively, generated by the Company's Allegro Biologics
         division.

         Investment income decreased in fiscal 1996 over the comparable three
         and nine month periods primarily because of lower average funds
         available for investment offset in part by higher interest rates.

         Other revenues for the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
         1995 decreased from the comparable fiscal 1995 periods primarily
         because of a decrease in management fees received from the Partnership.

Expenses -

         During fiscal 1995, the Company substantially restructured its
         operations in an effort to reduce its current rate of expenditures and
         preserve its available cash and investment balances. The restructurings
         were done in order to reorganize certain business operations and to
         permit its senior management team to focus on the clinical development
         of the Company's two lead product candidates. In the second quarter,
         the Company recorded a charge of $975,000 to cover severance costs and
         related benefits, as well as certain rental losses associated with the
         sublease of certain facilities. During the fourth quarter, the Company
         recorded a charge of $10,325,000 to cover severance costs and related
         benefits, rental losses associated with the sublease of certain
         facilities, the write-off of certain leasehold improvements, equipment
         and intangible assets which will no longer be utilized and to reserve
         for future operating lease payments for equipment which will also no
         longer be utilized.

         Total expenses for the three and nine month periods ended December 31,
         1995 were $4,406,000 and $15,835,000, respectively, compared to
         $9,411,000 and $30,550,000 in the comparable fiscal 1995 periods. This
         decrease in the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995
         reflects lower operating costs as a result of the fiscal 1995
         restructuring efforts.

         Research and development expenses for the three and nine month periods
         ended December 31, 1995 were $2,864,000 and $10,195,000, respectively,
         compared to $7,529,000 and $23,733,000 in the comparable fiscal 1995
         periods. The decreased 

                                       14
<PAGE>   15
         expenses in the three and nine month periods of fiscal 1996 from the 
         comparable periods in fiscal 1995 reflect the Company's efforts to 
         reduce costs and to focus its resources on the clinical development 
         of its two lead product candidates and offset partly by the salaries 
         and benefits in the fiscal 1995 periods relating to employees who 
         were terminated in July 1994 and February 1995.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and nine
         month periods ended December 31, 1995 were $1,427,000 and $4,470,000,
         a decrease of $123,000 and $91,000, respectively, from the comparable
         fiscal 1995 periods. These decreases in selling, general and
         administrative expenses are net of an expense of $610,000 and
         $930,000, for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995,
         respectively, for the Company's Incentive and Retention Program offset
         partly by the salaries and benefits in the fiscal 1995 period relating
         to employees who were terminated in July 1994 and February 1995. See
         Note 8 to notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - "Commitments".
        
         Cost of goods sold for the three and nine month periods ended December
         31, 1995 were $114,000 and $1,104,000, respectively. Cost of goods sold
         for the three and nine month periods were 67% and 72% of product
         revenues, respectively, versus 50% and 57% of product revenues in the
         comparable fiscal 1995 periods. The increase in cost of sales as a
         percentage of revenue is primarily a result of the change in sales mix
         between fiscal years and the addition of contract service revenues in
         fiscal 1996.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

         The Company's total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
         decreased to $10,075,000 at December 31, 1995 from $15,302,000 at March
         31, 1995, a decrease of $5,227,000 or 34%. The decrease reflects net
         operating losses during the nine month period of approximately
         $5,875,000, the reduction of current liabilities of $7,768,000, the
         reduction in note receivable from affiliate of $4,620,000 and the
         collection of amounts due from the Partnership as a result of the
         receipt from the partners of their fourth installment. Working capital
         decreased to $4,414,000 at December 31, 1995 from $9,070,000 at March
         31, 1995 reflecting primarily the loss during the nine months ended
         December 31, 1995.

         The Company has funded operations primarily with cash derived from the
         sales of its equity securities, research and development contracts, out
         licensing of technologies, investment income, product sales, term loan
         with a bank, the sale of the Company's share of a joint venture and
         leasing of certain equipment. In May 1992, the Company entered into a
         research and development agreement with Lilly which provided $6,262,000
         and $7,790,000 in research funding in fiscal 1995 and 1994,
         respectively, and $167,000 and $2,613,000 in research funding during
         the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 1995. This
         agreement terminated effective October 1995.


                                       15
<PAGE>   16
         In December 1995, Genentech, Inc. paid a $525,000 license fee for the
         exclusive sublicense to make, use and sell antibodies, antibody
         fragments, engineered polypeptides and other small molecules that bind
         to CD18 and CD11a.

         The Company is receiving research and development funding and a 10%
         management fee from the Partnership pursuant to the Development
         Agreement. The Company recorded revenue in the three and nine month
         periods ended December 31, 1995 of $951,000 and $2,297,000 compared to
         $819,000 and $3,729,000 in the comparable fiscal 1995 periods. The
         Company currently expects some revenues from the Partnership in respect
         of services performed or to be performed by it for the Partnership
         during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, although at a reduced rate
         from fiscal 1995. Thereafter, the Company does not anticipate deriving
         any further revenue from the Partnership.

         There can be no assurance that the Company will come to terms with its
         long-term creditors or consummate the Genzyme Transaction. If the
         Company is unable to resolve its creditor disputes and/or close the
         Genzyme Transaction, the Company estimates that it will have funds to
         continue operations through no later than September 30, 1996. In that
         case, without additional financing during the first half of calendar 
         1996 from either an offering by Repligen of its securities, from 
         third party funding, or the merger of  Repligen with or acquisition of
         Repligen by an entity capable of assisting Repligen to fund its
         operations, Repligen will be forced to significantly curtail or cease
         operations or seek bankruptcy protection. Management believes that its
         chances of raising additional financing are not probable absent a
         restructuring of its long-term debts and divesture of its
         manufacturing operations for value.

         liquidity, see Item 2 - "Recent Developments", above.

Item 3.       Defaults upon Senior Securities

              The Company is presently in default in the payment of rent under
              three equipment lease agreements. The equipment lessors have
              accelerated all future payments under these leases. The aggregate
              balance of the future rental payments under these leases 
              was $2,569,000 at December 31, 1995. The total amount claimed due
              by the equipment lessors as of the date of this report, including
              penalties, default interest and value attributable to the
              underlying equipment, is approximately $3.7  million. The Company
              is currently negotiating with the equipment lessors for early
              lease terminations and a reduction in certain  of the lease
              obligations. See discussion under Part I, Item 2 - "Recent
