             CHESAPEAKE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
                   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 three quarters 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 $186,000, 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 achieved substantial growth in the first nine months
     of fiscal 2000 in revenues and improvements in operating results over the
     prior year in order to meet these covenants. The Company expects to be in
     compliance through March 31, 2000. Management believes its plans will
     generate sufficient cash from operations, which when combined with capital
     availability will enable the Company to meet its covenants and cash needs
     for the foreseeable future. However, there can be no assurance that this
     will occur.

   3.  LONG TERM DEBT

     In conjunction with 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, an 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 December 31, 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
     had a fair value of $268,952 at the time of issuance and are included as
     Additional Paid-in Capital - Warrants Outstanding and debt issuance costs
     in the accompanying balance sheet at December 31, 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 $80,000 and $302,000 were charged against
      the accrual for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 1999,
      respectively. Of the remaining accrual balance of $782,000, $263,000 is
      classified in current liabilities as accrued restructuring costs and is
      expected to be paid over the next 12 months, with the remaining balance of
      $519,000 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 are being used for
      general corporate purposes.

      In May 1999, the Company also raised $1.4 million, net of related issuance
      costs of approximately $186,000, through the sale of 15,510 shares of its
      series A-1 convertible preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock"). The
      Preferred Stock was issued 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 are being
      used for general corporate purposes.

      In connection with the issuance of the series A-1 convertible 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 was
      $153,218 at the time of issuance and have been included as Additional
      Paid-in Capital - Warrants Outstanding in the accompanying balance sheet
      as of December 31, 1999.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The management 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 NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 AND 1998

Operating revenues for the three months ended December 31, 1999 increased 84%
to $2,991,000 from $1,621,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1998.
Operating revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 1999 increased 60%
to $8,055,000 from $5,021,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 1998.
Revenues for the nine-month period exceeded annual revenues for all but one
year in the Company's history. While the revenues continue to be primarily
non-commercial, these customers have chosen CBL for current developmental
work due to the Company's ability to provide long-term commercial scale
volume after product approval by the FDA. The Company has signed agreements
with customers related to the manufacture of commercial products, which
should commence during the fiscal year beginning April 1, 2000.

Gross margin as a percent of revenues was 29% for both the three and the
nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999 as compared to a negative margin
generated for the comparable prior year periods. The increased sales volume,
particularly the use of the new Camden facility which was not in full service
during the same three and nine month period in the prior fiscal year was a major
factor in the improvement.

General and administrative expenses decreased $51,000 and $183,000 respectively
to $388,000 for the three months and $1,091,000 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 1999. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales
decreased to 13% for both the three month and nine month periods ended December
31, 1999, compared to 27% and 25% for the three month and nine month periods,
respectively for the prior year. Selling expenses were 6% and 5% of revenues
respectively, for the three and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1999
compared to 13% and 12% for the comparable prior year period. Although the
actual amount of general and administrative and selling expenses decreased in
the current periods, the primary reason for the decrease as a percent of
revenue was the significant increase in revenues in the current periods.

As a result of the revenue increases and expense decreases, operating income
for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 1999, was $299,000
and $802,000, respectively as compared to losses of $1,054,000 and
$2,132,000, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods.

Interest expense for the three months and nine months ended December 31, 1999,
was $149,000 and $452,000, respectively, as compared to $143,000 and $289,000,
respectively, for the three and nine month period 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 Camden facility, which is now fully
operational.

Due to the net operating losses generated during the fiscal year ended March 31,
1999, there is no tax provision related to the current year, resulting in net
income of $192,000 and $447,000 for the three and nine-month period ended
December 31, 1999, respectively. In December 1998, the Company reversed the
previously recorded tax benefit associated with the loss for the six months
ended September 30, 1998, and did not record a tax benefit for the three months
ended December 31, 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY


                                       9
<PAGE>

At December 31, 1999, CBL had cash and cash equivalents of $920,000 compared to
$411,000 at March 31, 1999. These 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. 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 December
31, 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 Class A Common Stock with proceeds of
$450,000 purchased by a small group of investors 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 the holder's option into 1,034,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock using the current conversion ratios. In addition, warrants to
purchase 51,700 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock were issued in
conjunction with this Preferred Stock placement.

The $509,000 increase in the cash position from $411,000 at March 31, 1999 to
$920,000 at December 31, 1998 was the result of several factors, including the
equity placements and operating profits. This was offset in part by the pay down
of the March 31, 1999 revolving credit balance, capital expenditures, payments
on long-term debt, and the increase 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 from operations, which when combined with capital availability
will enable the Company to meet its covenants and cash needs for the foreseeable
future. 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 upgraded both its computer hardware and software. The
suppliers certify the equipment and software installed in the Company's new
commercial production facility over the past three years as Y2K compliant. The
Company experienced no significant problems related to the Y2K issue. Management
believes the upgrades have resolved the Y2K issue for the Company.
