                            PSYCHEMEDICS CORPORATION
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


                                  June 30, 1999


1.   Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information
and footnote disclosure required for complete financial statements are not
included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Psychemedics
Corporation (the "Company") as reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash
flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The balance
sheet presented as of December 31, 1998 has been derived from the financial
statements that have been audited by the Company's independent public
accountants. The results of operations for the three months and the six months
ended June 30, 1999 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected
for the year ending December 31, 1999, or any other period.

2.   Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 128,
Earnings Per Share, basic net income per share is computed by dividing net
income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net income per share was computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period has been determined in accordance with the
treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable
upon the exercise of outstanding options.

     Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding are as
follows:

effect would have been antidilutive.

3.   Revenue Recognition

Except as provided below, revenues from the Company's services are recognized
upon reporting of drug test results to the customer. Revenues related to sample
collection kits not returned for processing by customers are recognized when the
likelihood of the Company performing any service obligation is deemed remote. At
June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, the Company had deferred revenue balances
of approximately $1,160,000 and $1,437,000, respectively, reflecting payments
for its personal drug testing service received prior to the performance of the
related test.

4.   Comprehensive Income

The Company's comprehensive income for the three month periods and the six month
periods ended June 30, 1999 and 1998 was the same as reported net income.

5.   Segment Reporting

The Company adopted SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information, in the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998. SFAS No.
131 establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating segments
in annual financial statements and requires selected information for those
segments to be presented in interim financial reports issued to stockholders.
SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products
and services and geographic areas. To date, the Company has managed its
operations as one segment, drug testing services. As a result, the financial
information disclosed herein materially represents all of the financial
information related to the Company's principal operating segment. Substantially
all of the Company's revenues are generated in the United States. All of the
Company's assets are located in the United States.

6.   New Accounting Pronouncements

In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA)
issued Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer
Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use. SOP 98-1 requires computer
software costs associated with internal use software to be charged to operations
as incurred until certain capitalization criteria have been met. The Company
adopted SOP 98-1 beginning January 1, 1998. SOP 98-1 had no effect upon
adoption. As of June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998, approximately $1,206,000 of
software development costs had been capitalized. During the three month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, approximately $60,000 and $10,000, respectively,
of related amortization was charged to operations. During the six month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, approximately $120,000 and $14,000, respectively,
of related amortization was charged to operations.

In April 1998, the AICPA issued SOP 98-5, Reporting on the Costs of Start-Up
Activities, which requires that all nongovernmental entities charge to
operations the costs of start-up activities, including organizational costs, as
those costs are incurred.

                                     Page 8
<PAGE>   9


The Company has historically recorded all such costs as charges to operations in
the period incurred.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS No. 133
is effective for all periods beginning after June 15, 1999 and establishes
methods of accounting for derivative financial instruments and hedging
activities related to those instruments as well as other hedging activities.
Adoption of SFAS No. 133 is not expected to have a material impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

Item 2

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


                     FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

From time to time, information provided by the Company or statements made by its
employees may contain "forward-looking" information which involves risks and
uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in this report which are not
historical facts (including but not limited to the Company's expectations
regarding revenues, business strategy, anticipated operating results, cash
dividends and anticipated cash requirements) may be "forward looking"
statements. The Company's actual results may differ from those stated in any
"forward looking" statements. Factors that may cause such differences include,
but are not limited to, risks associated with the continued expansion of the
Company's sales and marketing network, development of markets for new products
and services offered by the Company, the economic health of principal customers
of the Company, financial and operational risks associated with possible
expansion of testing facilities used by the Company, government regulation
(including, but not limited to, Food and Drug Administration regulations),
competition and general economic conditions.


                                    OVERVIEW

Psychemedics Corporation was incorporated in 1986. The Company utilizes a
patented hair analysis method involving radioimmunoassay technology to analyze
human hair to detect abused substances. The founder of the Company has granted
to the Company an exclusive license to all his rights in this hair analysis
technology, including his rights to the drug extraction method.


                              RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenue was $5,854,999 in the second quarter of 1999 as compared to $4,834,720
in the second quarter of 1998, representing an increase of 21%. Revenue for the
six month period ended June 30, 1999 was $10,535,256, an increase of 18% over
the $8,956,623 of revenue reported for the comparable period of 1998. The
revenue increase was due primarily to increases in volume from both new and
existing clients.

Gross margin was 61% of sales in the second quarter of 1999, as compared to 60%
in the year earlier period. Gross margin for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and the six months ended June 30, 1998 was 60%. The recent improvement in gross
margin is due largely to increased sample volume during the second quarter of
1999 being handled by production capacity that was added by the Company during
the latter part of 1998.

General and administrative ("G&A") expenses were $822,506 for the three months
ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $768,892 for the three months ended June 30,
1998, representing an increase of 7%. G&A expenses were $1,582,265 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $1,376,858 for the year earlier
period, representing an increase of 15%. As a percentage of revenue, G&A
expenses


                                    Page 10
<PAGE>   11


decreased to 14% in the second quarter of 1999 from 16% in the second quarter of
1998 and remained at 15% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and the
comparable year earlier period. The increases in G&A expenses were due primarily
to greater personnel costs from additions to staff and 401(k) retirement plan
expenses, and increased professional fees for legal and accounting services.
Costs related to the implementation of a new billing system and increased
facilities expenses (rent, taxes) also contributed to the increase.

Marketing and selling expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1999
increased $214,623 from the comparable period of the prior year to $1,080,360,
an increase of 25%. Marketing and selling expenses were $2,071,934 for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $1,633,759 for the year earlier
period, representing an increase of 27%. This increase was primarily due to
greater customer service costs resulting from the Company's growth and expanded
marketing activities related to the corporate market. Total marketing and
selling expenses increased as a percentage of revenue to 19% in the second
quarter of 1999 from 18% in the second quarter of 1998, and increased as a
percentage of revenue to 20% for the six months ended June 30, 1999 from 18% for
the six months ended June 30, 1998. The Company expects to continue to
aggressively promote its drug testing services during the remainder of 1999 and
in future years in order to expand its client base.

Other income for the three month and the six month periods ended June 30, 1999
represented primarily interest earned on cash equivalents and short-term
investments. The decrease in 1999 was primarily due to lower average investment
balances coupled with decreased yields on these investments.

During the three months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, the Company
recorded tax provisions of $667,690 and $535,597, respectively. During the six
months ended June 30, 1999 and June 30, 1998, the Company recorded tax
provisions of $1,061,870 and $974,737, respectively. These tax provisions
reflect an effective tax rate of 41%.


                         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 1999, the Company had $7.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments. The Company's operating activities generated net cash of
$922,545 in the six months ended June 30, 1999. Investing activities generated
$2,173,344 in the six month period while financing activities used a net amount
of $2,897,467 during the period.

Operating cash flows decreased $1,140,910 in the first six months of 1999,
compared to the year earlier period. This was primarily due to a significant
increase in accounts receivable resulting from increased sales during the second
quarter along with an increase in prepaid expenses, as well as a decrease in
accounts payable and deferred revenue. Increases in net income and accrued
expenses and a decrease in inventories offset this to a lesser degree. The
non-cash effect of depreciation and amortization in the 1999 and 1998 periods
was $677,759 and $460,453, respectively.


                                    Page 11
<PAGE>   12


Capital expenditures in the first two quarters of 1999 were $389,231. The
expenditures primarily consisted of new equipment, including laboratory and
computer equipment. The Company believes that within the next two years it may
be required to expand its existing laboratory or develop a second laboratory,
the cost of which is currently believed to range from $2 million to $4 million.

During the six month period ended June 30, 1999, the Company distributed
$1,756,546 in cash dividends to its shareholders and repurchased a total of
246,600 shares for treasury at an aggregate cost of $1,140,921.

At June 30, 1999, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included an
aggregate of $7.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.
Management currently believes that such funds, together with cash generated from
operations, should be adequate to fund anticipated working capital requirements
and capital expenditures in the near term. Depending upon the Company's results
of operations, its future capital needs and available marketing opportunities,
the Company may use various financing sources to raise additional funds. Such
sources could potentially include joint ventures, issuance of common stock or
debt financing. At June 30, 1999, the Company had no long-term debt.

                            IMPACT OF YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000 issue results from computer programs written using two digits
rather than four to define the applicable year. Some of the Company's computer
programs or hardware and equipment that have date-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This
could result in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of
operations, including, among other things, a temporary inability to process
transactions, send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities.

Over the past two years, the Company has made substantial modifications and
improvements to all of its operational and financial software. An integral part
of this process has been to ensure that all newly purchased and internally
developed software is Year 2000 compliant. The Company has completed a
preliminary evaluation of all of the existing software used in its internal
systems and operations and now expects that it will be Year 2000 compliant by
the middle of the fourth quarter of 1999, and estimates that the cost to bring
such software into compliance will not exceed $20,000. The Company is in the
final stages of evaluating various hardware and equipment components used in its
laboratory operations and also expects to be Year 2000 compliant in this area by
mid-fourth quarter 1999, at an additional estimated cost of less than $100,000.
The Company believes that although these costs are not material to its business,
if these efforts are not completed on time, or if the cost of updating or
replacing the Company's information systems greatly exceeds the Company's
current estimates, the Year 2000 issue could have a material adverse impact on
the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

The Company also intends to determine the extent to which the Company may be
vulnerable to any failures by its major suppliers, customers or service
providers to remedy their own Year 2000 issues, and has initiated formal
communications with these parties. At this time the Company is unable to
estimate the nature or extent of any potential adverse impact resulting from the
failure of third party suppliers, customers or service providers to achieve Year
2000 compliance, although the Company does not


                                    Page 12
<PAGE>   13


currently anticipate that it will experience any material shipment delays from
its major product suppliers or any material payment delays from its major
customers due to Year 2000 issues. However, there can be no assurance that these
third parties will not experience Year 2000 problems or that any problems would
not have a material effect on the Company's business. Because the cost and
timing of Year 2000 compliance by third parties such as suppliers, customers and
service providers is not within the Company's control, no assurance can be given
with respect to the cost or timing of such efforts or any potential adverse
effects on the Company of any failure by these third parties to achieve Year
2000 compliance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The following discussion about the Company's market risk disclosures involves
forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those
projected in the forward-looking statements. The Company is exposed to market
risk related to changes in interest rates. The Company does not use derivative
financial instruments for speculative or trading purpose.

Interest Rate Sensitivity. The Company maintains a short-term investment
portfolio consisting principally of securities issued by the U.S. Government
with an average maturity of less than six months. These held-to-maturity
securities are subject to interest rate risk and will fall in value if market
rates increase. If market interest rates were to increase immediately and
uniformly by 10 percent from levels at June 30, 1999, the fair value of the
portfolio would decline by an immaterial amount. The Company has the ability to
hold its fixed income investments until maturity, and therefore the Company
would not expect its operating results or cash flows to be affected to any
significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on
its securities portfolio.
