SUPPLEMENTAL SCHEDULE OF NONCASH INVESTING AND FINANCING ACTIVITIES:

     During the first quarter of 1999, holders of the preferred stock converted
6 shares of preferred stock into 1,997,992 share of the Company's common stock.
The excess of the conversion value of the preferred stock ($104,000) over the
par value of the common stock issued (20,000) was credited to additional paid-in
capital.

     In February 1998, the Company exchanged approximately 1,650,013 shares of
common stock for all the outstanding shares of Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

     During the first quarter of 1998, the Company issued 1,034,309 shares of
common stock in connection with the conversion of $3,380,377 of convertible
debt.

     Expenses relating to the reorganization, principally professional fees,
paid during the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $50,000.

1.   BANKRUPTCY AND BUSINESS CHANGES

         Chapter 11 Filing

     On February 26, 1999 (the "Petition Date"), Oncor, Inc. and its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (collectively, the
"Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United
States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware, Wilmington, Delaware. Under Chapter 11, certain claims
against the Debtors in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief
under the Bankruptcy Code are stayed while the Debtors continues as
Debtors-in-Possession.

     Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all actions to collect
upon any of the Company's liabilities as of the Petition Date or to enforce
pre-petition contractual obligations were automatically stayed. Absent approval
from the Bankruptcy Court, the Company is prohibited from paying pre-petition
obligations. However, the Bankruptcy Court has approved payment of certain
pre-petition liabilities as of the Petition Date such as employee wages and
benefits and certain specified pre-petition obligations. Additionally, the
Bankruptcy Court has allowed for the retention of legal and financial
professionals and other payments to protect the holders of claims against the
Company. As debtors-in-possession, the Company has the right, subject to
Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other conditions, to assume or reject any
pre-petition executory contracts and unexpired leases. Parties affected by such
rejections may file pre-petition claims with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance
with Bankruptcy procedures.

     Liabilities subject to compromise consist of the following (dollars in
thousands):

     Secured debt                                      $    50
     Priority tax claims                                    68
     Liability to preferred shareholders                 8,554
     Trade and miscellaneous unsecured claims            5,844
                                                       -------
                                                       $14,516
                                                       =======

     Substantially all assets and liabilities in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet at March 31, 1999 relate to the Debtors.

     The Company's management expects to file a plan of reorganization under
Chapter 11 that will be acceptable to the Court and to the Company's creditors.
In the event a plan of reorganization is accepted, continuation of the business
thereafter is dependent on the Company's ability to achieve successful future
operations. At this time, it is not possible to predict the length of time the
Company will continue under Chapter 11; that any Plan filed will be approved or
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court; or, that such plan will be consummated. If a
plan is not approved, the Company may be required to liquidate.

     History of Operating Losses

     Oncor has not been profitable since its inception in July 1983. The Company
cannot provide assurance as to when, if ever, it will achieve profitability. As
indicated under "Business" below, the Company has disposed of its remaining
operations and currently has no revenues from operations.

     Going-Concern and Basis of Financial Statements

     Although the Chapter 11 filings and the history of operating losses raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going-concern,
the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a company
on a going-concern basis which contemplates the continuity of operations,
realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course
of business. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, such realization of assets
and liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant uncertainties.
Specifically, the financial statements do not present the amount which will
ultimately be paid to settle liabilities and contingencies which may be allowed
in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy reorganization cases. Also, the consolidated
financial statements do not reflect adjustments to assets which may result if
the Company is forced to liquidate all the assets. A plan of reorganization
could materially change the amounts currently included in the consolidated
financial statements.

     Business

     On February 10, 1999, the Company sold its 80% interest in Appligene Oncore
("Appligene"), a French company, to a Canadian company for $1 million.

         The equity in Appligene at December 31, 1998 had been written down to
net realizable value of approximately $0.8 million, the net amount (including a
provision for estimated 1999 net loss of approximately $0.1 million) realized in
the sale of Appligene.

     Appligene was the Company's only remaining operating business. The
Company's only remaining assets consist primarily of certain Oncor and Codon
intellectual property, licenses and investment in marketable securities. The
future uses in operations, if any, of these remaining assets are being explored
by the Company. The Company currently has no revenues from operations. With
respect to the remaining assets and licenses, motions were filed in the
bankruptcy court by The Johns Hopkins University to have the bankruptcy court
require the Company to sell certain licenses to an interested buyer or require
the Company to promptly assume or reject these licenses. The Company intends to
object to those motions. A hearing will be held before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court
on May 25, 1999 to consider these motions.

                                        9
<PAGE>

     The amounts included in the accompanying statement of operations relating
to Appligene's operations through February 10, 1999 are as follows (dollars in
thousands):

     Sales                                      $ 720
     Operating expenses                          (897)
     Other income                                  38
                                                -----
     Net loss                                   $ 139
                                                =====

2.   LIABILITY TO PREFERRED SHAREHOLDERS

     In January 1998, the Company completed a $5 million equity financing in a
private placement of 500 shares of Series A preferred stock. The preferred stock
is convertible into common stock of the Company under certain circumstances. In
addition the Company issued warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock
in connection with the transaction, with an exercise price of $5.16 per share.
Approximately $0.3 million of the net proceeds was allocated to the value of the
warrants. In the first quarter of 1999, holders of the preferred stock converted
6 shares of preferred stock into 1,997,992 shares of the Company's common stock.

     In addition, the preferred stock agreements provide for redemption rights
upon the occurrence of certain events. Although disputed by the Company, the
holders of the preferred stock believe that those events have occurred and,
accordingly, the Company has recorded $8.6 million as unsecured debt subject to
compromise at March 31, 1999 (as a current liability at December 31, 1998) in
the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, representing the redemption values
plus additional accrued charges and interest as specified in the private
placement agreements. The Company discontinued accruing interest on the
preferred stock as of the date the Company entered into reorganization.
Additional interest of approximately $1.4 million that under the agreements
accrues upon satisfaction of certain redemption requirements of the shareholders
has not been recorded.

3.   INCOME TAXES

     With respect to U.S. federal income taxes, as of December 31, 1998, the
Company has net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOL'S") of approximately $122
million available to offset future taxable income. The Company also has research
and development tax credits of approximately $1.8 million available to reduce
future U.S. federal income tax (to the extent not limited by a change in control
as a result of implementation of any plan of reorganization). These NOL's and
research and development credits may be used through 2018, but some of the these
credits will expire in 1999 and thereafter. The net deferred tax asset relating
to these carry forwards has been offset by a valuation reserve for the full
amount.

4.   STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

     At March 31, 1999, the Company has reserved the following shares of Common
Stock for future use as follows:

     1992 stock option plan                        1,156,666
     Special stock options                           590,000
     Warrants issued in conjunction with
         private placements                          655,836
     Warrants issued in connection with
         debt financing                            2,900,000
                                                   ---------
                                                   5,302,502
                                                   =========

     The Company's Stock Option Plan provides that unexercised options will be
canceled 90 days after an option holder terminates employment with the Company.
During the first quarter of 1999, 1,270,168 shares relating to these employees
were canceled. Of the remaining 1,156,168 shares, 315,000 shares will be
canceled in the second quarter of 1999. The balance then remaining of 841,666
shares relate to non-employees and current directors. In addition, there are
unexercised special stock options for 590,000 shares outstanding (416,667
exercisable) at March 31, 1999.

Item 2.       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
              Results of Operations.

     The following discussion and analysis provides information which management
believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results
of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes
thereto in Item 1 of this Report, and the audited consolidated financial
statements of the Company and notes thereto, which were included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998. This
report contains certain statements of a forward-looking nature relating to
future events or the future financial performance of the Company. Readers are
cautioned that such statements are only predictions and that actual events

                                       11
<PAGE>

or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, readers should
specifically consider the various factors identified in this Report and in the
Company's other public filings which could cause actual results to differ
materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including
the matters set forth under the caption "Risk Factors" below.

     Overview

     As discussed in Item 1. "Financial Statements" on February 26, 1999, the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary filed voluntary petitions for relief
under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, the Company has disposed of substantially
all of the business and currently has no revenues from operations. Consequently,
the following discussion of results of operations has no bearing on future
operations, if any, of the Company. Further, the comparison of operations in the
three month period ending March 31, 1999 and 1998 can not be compared with each
other because of the significant disposition of the Company's operating
businesses during 1998 and the first quarter of 1999.

     Results of Operations

     Revenues decreased $3.1 million in the first three months of 1999 as
compared to the comparable period in 1998. The decrease was due to the
disposition of the Company's operations during the balance of 1998 and early
1999. The 1999 revenues are entirely from Appligene which was disposed of on
February 10, 1999. The Company had no revenue from operations subsequent to that
date.

     Operating expenses decreased $12.6 million in the first three months of
1999 as compared to the comparable period in 1998. This decrease was primarily
due to lower direct costs of sales reflecting lowered sales levels and reduced
selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development
expenditures reflecting the sharply reduced scope of operations. All but
approximately $1 million of the 1999 operating expenses relate to Appligene.

     Other income for the first three months of 1999 of $0.4 million is not
directly comparable to the like period of 1998 because of the significant change
in the Company. The primary component of the 1999 other income was $0.3 million
relating to the disposition of Appligene and $0.1 million relating to the sale
of investments.

     Because of the dispositions during 1998 and early 1999 the Company has no
further operations and therefore the results contained in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations is not representative of future income and
expenses of the Company.

     Liquidity and Capital Resources

         At March 31, 1999, the Company had a stockholders' deficiency of $$11.9
million. The stockholders' deficiency is substantially due to the continuing
losses of the Company. Cash items at March 31, 1999 totaled $0.8 million.
Consequently, there are no significant cash reserves available to meet the
liabilities. Further expenses will be funded through liquidation of the
Company's remaining assets, primarily the investment in marketable securities.

     As discussed previously, the Company presently has no revenues from
operations and has filed for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act. Oncor
expects to reorganize under Chapter 11 and to propose a reorganization plan or

                                       12
<PAGE>

plans. At this time, it is not possible to predict that any Plan filed will be
approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or that such plans will be
consummated. If a plan is not approved, the Company may be required to
liquidate.

     Risk Factors

     AS DISCUSSED IN NOTE 1 TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND IN ITEM
1 ABOVE, THE COMPANY'S ONLY REMAINING ASSETS CONSIST OF CERTAIN ONCOR AND CODON
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSES AND AN INVESTMENT IN MARKETABLE SECURITIES.
THE FUTURE USES, IF ANY, OF THESE REMAINING ASSETS ARE BEING EXPLORED BY THE
COMPANY. THE COMPANY CURRENTLY HAS NO REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS.

     IF THE COMPANY CONTINUES IN OPERATION IN ANY MANNER, IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIREMENTS AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL
FUNDING. THE COMPANY'S CURRENT LIQUID RESOURCES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY
ITS CURRENT OBLIGATIONS.

     ONCOR HAS NOT BEEN PROFITABLE SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN JULY 1983. THE COMPANY
CANNOT PROVIDE ASSURANCE AS TO WHEN, IF EVER, IT WILL ACHIEVE PROFITABILITY. AS
INDICATED UNDER "BUSINESS" BELOW, THE COMPANY HAS DISPOSED OF ITS REMAINING
OPERATIONS AND CURRENTLY HAS NO REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS.

     The Company is subject to risks associated with the requested redemption of
Series A convertible preferred stock (the "preferred stock"). (See Note 2 to the
consolidated financial statements under Item I of this Report relating to this
preferred stock.) On August 7, 1998 and August 11, 1998, the Company received
requests from the holders of the preferred stock, which had an aggregate
original issuance amount equal to $5 million and a higher redemption amount, to
have their shares of preferred stock redeemed. The Company believes that there
are certain legal and financial impediments to the satisfaction of these
requests, even if determined to be valid. If such redemption request is
ultimately held to be valid, the Company does not have, and probably cannot
obtain, the funds necessary to redeem the preferred stock. Currently the claims
of the preferred shareholders are included under liabilities subject to
compromise - pre petition liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets
included in Part I of this Form 10-Q.

     In October 1998, the Company was delisted from the American Stock Exchange.
It now trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. This market will likely
provide substantially less liquidity and market support for the stockholders of
the Company and materially and adversely affect the ability, if any, of the
Company to raise additional equity for any future business operations.
Additionally, the bankruptcy proceedings may have an adverse effect on the
trading in the Company's stock. There is no assurance that the Company's stock
will continue to be traded even on the Bulletin Board.

     Reference also should be made to Item 1 "Business" in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission for the year ended December 31,
1998 for other Risk Factors. These factors include: no assurance of regulatory
approvals, government regulation; patents and proprietary rights; uncertainties
relating to product development; competition and technological change;
attraction and retention of key personnel; and product liability.

operations as discussed in Items 1 and 2 of this Report, the Company has no
exposure to market risk other than that related to market fluctuations in shares
of Gene Logic, reflected in Investments in Marketable Securities at March 31,
1999 of $1.9 million.
