                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


SUMMARY

Syntro Corporation (which, together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, is
referred to herein as "Syntro" or the "Company") is engaged in biotechnology
research and in the development, manufacture and commercialization of
innovative vaccines for the animal health market.  The Company uses its
proprietary technology and expertise in the genetic engineering of viruses to
address disease problems caused by infectious agents, particularly those that
have proven resistant to conventional technology.  The Company's product
development programs currently address diseases of five major animal species:
swine, cattle, poultry, horses and cats.  During fiscal 1994, having expanded
its portfolio of genetic engineering technology, and encouraged by the
regulatory approval of its first viral vector vaccine, Syntro resumed
exploration of the utility of its technology for human health applications.

The Company's line of swine pseudorabies vaccines and its broad distribution
network have enabled it to establish a leading share of the highly competitive
U.S. market for these products.  The Company's first commercial product,
PRV/Marker(R), was introduced in 1988 and quickly became a commercial success.
A second generation vaccine introduced in September 1991, PRV/Marker Gold(R),
allowed the Company to capture a major share of its market segment.  The
Company subsequently has introduced other swine pseudorabies vaccines to meet
the specialized needs of various market niches.  In October 1993, the Company
expanded its swine vaccine business beyond the PRV/Marker line with the
introduction of MaxiVac(R)-FLU, the first vaccine approved by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture ("USDA") for prevention of swine influenza.

The Company's technological advances and its ability to advance a product
through the stages of research and development, regulatory approval,
manufacturing and marketing have attracted collaborative relationships with
major national and multinational companies.  For example, a collaborative
program with Nippon Zeon Co., Ltd. ("Nippon Zeon") resulted in the development
and USDA approval of the first commercially available viral vector vaccine,
VectorVax(R) FP-N.  This vaccine, which contains a genetically designed vector
virus that protects poultry against two widespread diseases, was the first
Category III* vaccine to be approved by the USDA.  It is being commercialized
by Syntro Zeon, L.C. ("Syntro Zeon"), a limited liability company formed by the
Company and Nippon Zeon of America.  VectorVax FP-N is to be marketed in the
U.S., Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean by Hoechst-Roussel Agri-Vet Company
("Hoechst-Roussel").

The Company has a number of other strategic partnerships intended to accelerate
the development and/or commercialization of products.  Collaborations with
Hoechst-Roussel and/or Hoechst Veterinar GmbH ("Hoechst Veterinar") provide
resources for the development and future marketing of additional viral vector
vaccines for poultry, cattle and horses.  A distribution arrangement with Bayer
AG is intended to facilitate registration and distribution of PRV/Marker Gold
in Europe.  A license agreement with Hoechst Veterinar recently led to the
first marketing approval in a European

country for a product developed by the Company -- the authorization of its
IBR/Marker(R)-KV cattle vaccine for marketing in Germany.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994

Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 were $1,906,000, an increase of
7% over the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Revenues for the second quarter of
fiscal 1995 included the recognition of $200,000 in licensing fees.

Sales were up slightly from those of the second quarter of fiscal 1994.
Management believes the Company has established and is maintaining a
significant share of the U.S. market for its swine pseudorabies vaccines which,
as a result of the success of various state eradication programs, no longer is
growing.  The Company expects to experience quarterly sales fluctuations until
the sale or contract manufacture of new products begins to make a significant
contribution to product revenues.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for the three-month period ended
March 31, 1995 was 57%, compared to 56% for the second quarter of the prior
fiscal year.  A favorable product and distribution mix largely offset the
impact of increased inventory reserves.

Collaborative research revenues were $752,000 in the second quarter of fiscal
1995, approximately 13% below those of the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  This
expected decrease was related largely to the progression of several
collaborative projects from the research phase into later development and
registration phases.  (See "Prospective.")

Research and development expenditures were $868,000 in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995, approximately level with those of the second quarter of fiscal
1994.  Management believes research and development expenses will remain
relatively stable for the remainder of the year.  Any significant increase
likely will be the result of increased reimbursable expenses incurred on behalf
of collaborative partners.

Interest and other income rose $18,000 over the comparable quarter of fiscal
1994, largely as a result of higher investment interest rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 8% for the quarter ended
March 31, 1995, compared to the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.  This
increase was attributable to professional services, including legal defense
costs and investor relations activities.

The net loss for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was $74,000, compared to a
net loss of $117,000 for the second quarter of fiscal 1994.

Six months ended March 31, 1995 and March 31, 1994

Revenues for the six months ended March 31, 1995 were $3,305,000, representing
a 4% decrease from the same period of the previous fiscal year.  An increase in
licensing fees significantly offset decreases in product sales and
collaborative research revenues.





                                       8
<PAGE>   10

Product sales were $1,418,000 during the six-month period ended March 31, 1995,
approximately 9% below those of the comparable period of fiscal 1994. In the
first quarter of 1995, sales of the Company's swine vaccines suffered from weak
economic conditions in the pork production industry.  Sales recovered during
the second quarter, though sales of the Company's swine pseudorabies vaccines
did not return to the levels of the prior fiscal year.  During the second
quarter of fiscal 1995, sales of the Company's MaxiVac-FLU vaccine also made a
significant contribution to product revenues.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales for the six-month period ending
March 31, 1995 was 56%, compared to 54% for the comparable period of the
previous year.  This increase was the result primarily of increased inventory
reserves.

Collaborative research revenues were $1,447,000 during the first six months of
fiscal 1995, approximately 12% below those of the comparable period of fiscal
1994.  This expected decrease was related largely to the progression of several
collaborative projects from research and animal testing phases into later
development and registration phases.  (See "Prospective.")

Research and development expenditures were $1,712,000 during the six-month
period ended March 31, 1995, a 10% increase over the comparable period of
fiscal 1995.  The largest contributors to this increase were direct expenses
incurred on behalf of, and reimbursed by, collaborative partners.  The costs of
operating the Company's research and development laboratories also increased
over the comparable period.  Management does not anticipate that these
operating costs will increase significantly.  However, the direct reimbursable
expenses incurred on behalf of collaborative partners may continue to fluctuate
from quarter to quarter.

Interest and other income rose $19,000 over the comparable six-month period of
fiscal 1994, the result of higher investment interest rates.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 12% for the six-month
period ended March 31, 1995, compared to the same period the previous year.
This increase was attributable to professional services, including legal
defense costs and investor relations activities.

The net loss for the six-month period ended March 31, 1995 was $409,000,
compared to a net loss of $103,000 for the comparable period of fiscal 1994.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

At March 31, 1995, Syntro had cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments
and long-term investments of $6,091,000, a decrease of $996,000 since September
30, 1994.  In addition to the Company's net loss for the six-month period, its
principal uses of cash included a $271,000 investment in additions to patents,
a $247,000 decrease in research contract advances, a $100,000 investment in
Syntro Zeon, L.C. and a $95,000 investment in capital expenditures.  Contract
receivables increased as the Company recognized $200,000 in licensing fees.

Capital expenditures for plant and equipment amounted to $95,000 during the
first six months of fiscal 1995, largely related to limited internal
modifications that the Company made to its manufacturing facility to obtain a
European Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certificate.  The modifications were
completed during the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The Company has made no
material commitments for additional capital expenditures, though it intends to
continue to invest





                                       9

in capital additions to its research, development, manufacturing and
administrative areas in order to maintain the quality of its operation.

The Company's cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and long-term
investments are expected to be sufficient to meet the currently foreseeable
liquidity needs of the Company.  Anticipated capital requirements may change
depending on numerous factors.  These factors include the progress of the
Company's research and development activities, the resources the Company
devotes to self-funded programs and advanced technologies, the ability of the
Company to achieve research and development objectives under its collaborative
agreements, the ability of the Company to replace research contract revenues as
collaborative research programs mature, and any costs required to enforce the
rights to use and to defend the Company's technology and products.

Capital requirements also may be affected by the length of time required to
gain regulatory approvals, the market's acceptance of the Company's new
products, the level of investment required by new product introductions in
inventories and accounts receivable, the ability of the Company to distribute
its products through favorable trade channels, and the demand for and
competition against the Company's products.  Furthermore, additional capital
may be either provided or required as the result of new opportunities for the
Company to accelerate the expansion of its product lines and markets through
additional strategic alliances or acquisitions of products and technologies or
as the result of future changes in the Company's strategic plan.

PROSPECTIVE

The Company owns beneficially a 50% interest in the capital, profits, losses
and distributions of Syntro Zeon, L.C. ("Syntro Zeon"), a Kansas limited
liability company.  Syntro Zeon was formed by Syntro and Nippon Zeon of
America, Inc. to market viral vector poultry vaccines developed through the
Company's collaborative program with Nippon Zeon Co., Ltd.  Syntro currently
anticipates that Syntro Zeon will generate revenues in the form of royalties
and licensing fees.  Syntro also expects to generate additional revenues from
the contract manufacture of VectorVax(R) FP-N.  Because product manufactured in
connection with the USDA licensing of VectorVax FP-N will be used in the
vaccine's market introduction, the Company believes contract manufacturing
revenues from Syntro Zeon will not contribute significantly to total revenues
during fiscal 1995.

As new animal health products whose development or registration has been funded
by collaborative partners receive regulatory approval, revenues from
collaborative research contracts related to such products will decline.  The
Company's intent when entering into such contracts is to replace these revenues
or to generate greater revenues with product sales, contract manufacturing
revenues or royalties related to the approved products.  If collaborative
research contract revenue reductions are not offset by revenues from such
sources or by contract revenues from collaborative partners for new programs,
and if expenses are not reduced commensurately, the Company could experience
additional losses.

In connection with the exploration of additional uses for its proprietary
technology outside of the veterinary vaccine field, the Company has increased
self-funded investment in research and development since the beginning of
fiscal 1994.  The Company intends to seek alliances with one or more corporate
partners who would support the research and development of additional
genetically engineered products.  The Company intends to carefully control its
investment in this area until such collaborations are formed, limiting its
expenditures on independent efforts to early exploration, feasibility studies
and the development of project proposals.
