                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   ORGANIZATION

     Chesapeake Biological Laboratories, Inc. ("CBL" or the "Company") is a
     provider of pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical parenteral product
     development and production services on a contract basis for a broad range
     of customers, from major international pharmaceutical firms to emerging
     biotechnology companies. Since 1990, CBL has provided its parenteral
     product development services to more than 100 pharmaceutical and
     biotechnology companies and has contributed to the development and
     production of more than 100 therapeutic products intended for human
     clinical trials. Customers contract with the Company to produce development
     stage products for use in U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")
     clinical trials and to produce and manufacture FDA approved parenteral
     products for commercial sale. The Company's business depends in part on
     strict government regulation of the drug development process, especially in
     the United States. CBL's production facilities operate under the current
     Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP") established and regulated by the FDA.

     The Company's operations are treated as one operating segment,
     pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical product development and production
     services, as it only reports profit and loss information on an aggregate
     basis to operating management of the Company.

     During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999, the Company successfully
     validated and completed the FDA initial inspection of the new Camden
     production facility, and reorganized and expanded the sales and marketing
     organization to utilize the additional capacity now available to the
     Company. The Company also initiated a management reorganization, including
     hiring a new President and Chief Executive Officer, implemented a workforce
     reduction and began to consolidate all production into the Camden facility.
     These actions were taken to address the Company's recent significant
     operating losses which resulted from costs associated with the start-up of
     the new Camden facility and the related delay in the new sales and
     marketing programs. The implementation of these plans have resulted in a
     positive sales trend in the first half of the current fiscal year 2000 and
     the recent signing of new customer agreements. Additionally as described in
     note 5, in first fiscal quarter of 2000, the Company raised $1.8 million,
     net of related fees of approximately $158,000, in private placements of
     common and convertible preferred stock. During June 1999, the Company also
     negotiated revised loan covenants with its primary lender allowing the
     Company to be in compliance at March 31, 1999 and for subsequent quarters
     of the current fiscal year (see Note 3). The Company is required to, and
     has achieve substantial growth in the first six months of fiscal 2000 in
     revenues and improvements in operating results over the prior year in order
     to meet these covenants and its obligations through March 31, 2000.
     Management believes its plans will generate sufficient cash resources to
     meet its covenants and other cash needs through at least April 2000.
     However, there can be no assurance that this will occur.

3.   LONG TERM DEBT

     Under the documentation applicable to the bond financing, the Company is
     obligated to maintain certain financial ratios and balances, including a
     minimum tangible net worth, a liability to net worth ratio, and a EBITDA
     ratio and current ratio, all as defined and established in the applicable
     documents. As of March 31, 1999, the Company was not in compliance on three
     covenants due to the fiscal year operating loss. Subsequent to March 31,
     1999, the Bank modified the covenants as of March 31, 1999 and for the
     fiscal year ending March 31, 2000. As of September 30, 1999, the Company
     was in compliance with the modified covenants. In return for the covenant
     modifications, the Company issued warrants for 75,000 shares of Class A
     Common stock at $2.25 per share, which was the market price at the date of
     the agreement. Using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, these warrants
     have a fair value of $268,952 and are included as Additional Paid-in
     Capital - Warrants Outstanding and debt issuance costs in the accompanying
     balance sheet at September 30, 1999. These debt issuance costs are being
     amortized as interest expense over the life of the related debt.

4.     RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

       In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 1999, the Company implemented a
       realignment of management, a workforce reduction and decided to close its
       Seton experimental facility during fiscal year 2000 and consolidate its
       operation into the new Camden facility. The workforce reduction resulted
       in the termination of full time and temporary employees. This action in
       addition to other non-personnel cost reductions resulted in a
       restructuring charge of $1.2 million in fiscal 1999.

       Restructuring expenses totaling $93,000 and $222,000 were charged against
       the accrual for the three months and six months ended September 30, 1999,
       respectively. Of the remaining accrual balance of $862,000, $334,000 is
       classified in current liabilities as accrued restructuring cost and is
       expected to be paid over the next 12 months, with the remaining balance
       of $528,000 recorded as a non-current liability.


5.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

       In April 1999, the Company raised $450,000 through the private placement
       sale of 225,000 shares of its Common Stock to eight investors. The
       investors include board members Thomas P. Rice, Harvey L. Miller, Regis
       F. Burke, and Narlin B. Beaty. The proceeds from the sale will be used
       for general corporate purposes.

       In May 1999, the Company also raised $1.4 million, net of related
       issuance costs of approximately $158,000, through the sale of 15,510
       shares of its Series A-1 convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred
       Stock") together with warrants to purchase an aggregate of 51,700 shares
       of the Company's Common Stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share.
       Under the terms of the Preferred Stock, the investors are permitted, as a
       separate class, to elect one person to the Company's Board of Directors.
       In addition, the preferred stock is convertible into 1,034,000 shares of
       common stock. The proceeds from the sale will be used for general
       corporate purposes.

       In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company
       issued warrants to purchase 51,700 shares of the Company's Common Stock
       at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. Using the Black-Scholes option
       pricing model, the fair value of these warrants is $153,218 and have been
       included as Additional Paid-in Capital - Warrants Outstanding in the
       accompanying balance sheet as of September 30, 1999.

             CHESAPEAKE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's discussion below should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1999.


THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998

Operating revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1999 increased 14%
to $2,614,000 from $2,283,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1998.
Operating revenues for the six months ended September 30, 1999 increased 49% to
$5,063,000 from $3,400,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1998. These
revenues for this six-month period are the highest in the Company's history and
were generated by over 50 customers. While the Company's revenues continue to be
primarily non-commercial, these customers have chosen the Company for current
developmental work due to the Company's ability to provide long-term commercial
scale volume after product approval by the FDA.

Gross margin as a percent of revenues was 30% for the three months ended
September 30, 1999 and 29% for the six-months ended September 30, 1999 as
compared to 10% and 4%, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. A
major factor in this improvement was the Company's increased sales volume,
particularly the use of the new Camden facility which was not in service during
the same three and six month period last year.

General and administrative expenses decreased 14% to $400,000 for the three
months ended September 30, 1999 and 16% to $705,000 for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 as compared to the prior year periods. The decrease in
expenses and the increase in revenue resulted in general and administrative
expenses decreasing to 15% of revenues for the three months ended September 30,
1999 compared to 20% in the prior year period. For the six months ended
September 30, 1999 general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues were 14% versus 25% for the comparable six month period of the previous
year. Sales and marketing costs decreased 28% to $126,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 1999. For the six months ended September 30, 1999, sales and
marketing costs decreased 31% to $267,000 from $386,000 as compared to the six
months ended September 30, 1998. As a percentage of revenues, these costs for
the three months ended September 30, 1999 were 5% versus 8% for the three months
ended September 30, 1998. Sales and marketing costs for the six months ended
September 30, 1999 were 5% versus 11% for the six months ended September 30,
1998. These cost reductions in both general administration and sales and
marketing are the result of the reorganization and operational changes made in
the last quarter of the prior fiscal year.

As a result of the revenue increases and cost reductions, operating income, was
$261,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $503,000 for the six
months ended September 30, 1999, as compared to losses of $410,000 and
$1,078,000, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods.

Interest expense was $148,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and
$303,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $101,000 and
$146,000, respectively, for the three and six month periods in the prior year.
During the first four months of the prior year, interest related to the
construction of the new facility was being capitalized. The current fiscal year
includes interest expense applicable to the entire new facility, which is now
fully operational.

Due to the net operating losses generated by the Company during the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1999, there is no tax provision related to the current year,
resulting in net income of $143,000 and $255,000 for the three and six month
periods ended September 30, 1999, respectively. The pre-tax losses for the three
and six months ended September 30, 1998 were reduced by tax benefits resulting
in reported net losses of $274,000 and $666,000, respectively.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

At September 30, 1999, CBL had cash and cash equivalents of $1,153,000, compared
to $411,000 at March 31, 1999. These



                                       9
<PAGE>

balances do not include $350,000 held as collateral for the Company's obligation
under the Letter of Credit and Reimbursement Agreement with First Union National
Bank of North Carolina. Under this agreement, a letter of credit was issued as
credit enhancement for bonds issued by the Maryland Industrial Development
Financing Authority. The proceeds of these bonds were used by the Company to
finance a portion of the purchase price, renovation and equipping of the Camden
production facility.

The Company continues to maintain a $750,000 Revolving Line of Credit from First
Union National Bank of Maryland. There was no outstanding balance as of
September 30, 1999, as the Company used a portion of the proceeds from the May
1999 equity placement to pay down the line of credit, which had an outstanding
balance of $644,000 at March 31, 1999.

In May 1999, the Company completed two private placements of equity securities
grossing $2.0 million, before expenses. The equity includes 225,000 shares of
the Company's Common Stock with proceeds of $450,000 purchased by a group led by
Company officers and directors. An investment banking and management firm
purchased 15,510 shares of convertible Preferred Stock for $1,551,000. The
shares of Preferred Stock are convertible at any time into 1,034,000 shares of
Common Stock. In addition, warrants to purchase 51,700 shares of Common Stock
were issued with the Preferred Stock placement.

The $742,000 increase in the cash position from $411,000 at March 31, 1999 to
$1,153,000 at September 30, 1998 was the result of several factors, including
the equity placements and operating profits. These increases were offset in part
by the pay down of the March 31, 1999 revolving credit balance, capital
expenditures, payments on long-term debt, and increases in the accounts
receivable and inventory balances required to support the operating revenue
increase. Management believes that, based on the current financial position, its
operating plan will generate sufficient cash resources to meet its covenants and
other cash needs through at least April 2000. However there can be no assurance
this will occur.


YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The year 2000 issue, (Y2K) refers to computer applications using only the last
two digits to refer to a year rather than all four digits. As a result, some
applications could fail or create incorrect results if they interpret "00" as
the year 1900 rather than 2000. The Company addressed the Y2K situation during
the construction of the Camden facility.

In conjunction with the Company's expansion of its commercial production
capabilities, the Company has upgraded both its computer hardware and software.
Management believes the upgrades have resolved the Y2K issue for the Company.
The equipment installed in the Company's new commercial production facility over
the past two years has been certified by the suppliers as Y2K compliant.

Due to the nature of CBL's business, it is unlikely that a customer with a Y2K
problem would adversely affect CBL to any significant degree. CBL does not
expect to be dependent on one customer or a small group of customers, which
limits CBL's exposure if some customers do not resolve their Y2K problems. The
Company is working on contingency plans, which include increasing inventory
levels and potential staff adjustments. There can be no assurance that these
contingency plans will be successful. There have been no material changes in
plans or costs since the Company's fiscal year-end on March 31, 1999.
