NOTE 3. INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

         Basic income (loss) per common share excludes dilution and is computed
by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted income (loss) per common share
reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.
For the periods presented, the effect of dilutive stock options is not
significant and the effect of the assumed conversion of convertible subordinated
notes would be antidilutive. Therefore, diluted income (loss) per share is not
materially different from basic income (loss) per common share.

NOTE 4. CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES PAYABLE

         In November 1997, the Company issued $50,000,000 of convertible
subordinated notes. These notes bear interest at the rate of 7% and are due in
2004. The notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into common stock
at any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or repurchased. The
notes are convertible, at the option of the Company, after three years from the
date of issue. The conversion price is set at $19.00 per share.

         In January 1999 and March 1999, the Company repurchased a total of
$4,000,000, or 8%, of its outstanding 7% convertible subordinated notes for
approximately $3,100,000. As a result, the Company recognized an extraordinary
gain of approximately $767,000, net of deferred finance charges and accumulated
amortization of approximately $133,000. As of March 31, 1999, $44,500,000 of
these notes are outstanding.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations as well as information contained elsewhere in this Report,
contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include
statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company,
its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things: (i) whether
the Company will receive, and the timing of, regulatory approvals or clearances
to market potential products, (ii) the results of current and future clinical
trials, (iii) the time and expenses associated with the regulatory approval
process for products and (iv) amounts and proposed uses of estimated future
capital expenditures. The success of the Company's business operations is in
turn dependent on factors such as the receipt and timing of regulatory approvals
or clearances for potential products, the effectiveness of the Company's
marketing strategies to market its current and any future products, the
Company's ability to manufacture products on a commercial scale, the appeal of
the Company's mix of products, the Company's success at entering into and
collaborating with others to conduct effective strategic alliances and joint
ventures, general competitive conditions within the biotechnology and drug
delivery industry and general economic conditions. Forward-looking statements
are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties and
actual results may differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking
statements as a result of various factors.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO
         THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998

         Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were
approximately $1,511,000 compared to approximately $933,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The 62% increase was primarily due to the increase in
sales as a result of the market launch in September 1998 of the ATRIDOX(R)
product and the ATRISORB(R) FreeFlow GTR Barrier product.

         The Company had sales of approximately $1,229,000 during the three
months ended March 31, 1999 compared to approximately $862,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998. The 43% increase in sales was primarily the result
of the addition of sales for the ATRIDOX(R) product and the ATRISORB(R) FreeFlow
GTR Barrier product both launched in September 1998.

         Contract revenue represents revenue the Company received from grants
and from unaffiliated third parties for performing contract research and
development activities utilizing the Company's technology, and was approximately
$258,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to approximately
$72,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998, representing a 258% increase.
The increase was primarily due to the commencing of several research contracts
since the three months ended March 31, 1998.

         Cost of goods sold for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was
approximately $702,000 compared to approximately $667,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, representing a 5% increase. The increase is primarily due
to the increase in sales.

         Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31,
1999, were approximately $3,559,000 compared to approximately $2,815,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, representing a 26% increase. The increase was
primarily the result of additional expenditures in new areas of research.

         Administrative and marketing expenses for the three months ended March
31, 1999, were approximately $782,000 compared to approximately $600,000 for the
three months ended March 31, 1998, representing a 30% increase. The increase was
primarily the result of recognition of amortization on assets associated with
the ViroTex Corporation acquisition in November 1998.

         Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 1999
approximated $764,000 compared to approximately $979,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, representing a 22% decrease. The decrease was primarily
the result of a reduction in principal investments and a decline in interest
rates on investments during the period.

         In January 1999 and March 1999, the Company repurchased a total of
$4,000,000, or 8%, of its outstanding 7% convertible subordinated notes for
approximately $3,100,000. As a result, the Company recognized an extraordinary
gain of approximately $767,000, net of deferred finance charges and accumulated
amortization of approximately $133,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1999. As of March 31, 1999, $44,500,000 of these notes are outstanding.

         For the reasons described above, the Company recorded a net loss of
approximately $2,747,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to a
net loss of approximately $2,983,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1998,
representing an 8% reduction in net loss.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of March 31, 1999, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
approximately $5,737,000, marketable securities (at fair market value) of
approximately $49,298,000 and other current assets of approximately $5,468,000
for total current assets of approximately $60,503,000. Current liabilities
totaled approximately $3,888,000, which resulted in working capital of
approximately $56,615,000.

         During the three months ended March 31, 1999, net cash provided by
operating activities was approximately $2,774,000. This was primarily a result
of the receipt in January 1999 of a $5,000,000 Block Drug milestone payment
earned in 1998. This milestone payment was offset by a net loss for the period
of approximately $2,747,000, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, and changes
in other operating assets and liabilities as set forth in the statements of cash
flows.

         Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $12,662,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1999. This was primarily a result of the
net investment in marketable securities during the period. Net cash used in
financing activities was approximately $2,931,000 during the three months ended
March 31, 1999, primarily as a result of the repurchase of the Company's
convertible subordinated notes.

         The Company's long-term capital expenditure requirements will depend on
numerous factors, including the progress of the Company's research and
development programs, the time required to file and process regulatory approval
applications, the development of the Company's commercial manufacturing
facilities, the ability of the Company to obtain additional licensing
arrangements, and the demand for the Company's products. The Company expended
approximately $146,000 for property, plant and equipment and leasehold
improvements, and approximately $19,000 for patent development in the three
month period ending March 31, 1999. The Company expects its capital expenditures
to approximate $1,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 1999, which will be
used primarily to complete the automation of its manufacturing facility and to
upgrade laboratory equipment.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS.

         The Company owns financial instruments that are sensitive to market
risks as part of its investment portfolio of cash equivalents and marketable
securities. The investment portfolio is used to preserve the Company's capital
until it is required to fund operations, including the Company's research and
development activities. None of these market-risk sensitive instruments are held
for trading purposes. The Company does not own derivative financial instruments
in its investment portfolio. Due to the nature of the Company's investment
portfolio, the investment portfolio contains instruments that are primarily
subject to interest rate risk.

         Interest Rate Risk. The Company's investment portfolio includes fixed
rate debt instruments that are primarily United States government and agency
bonds of durations ranging from one to four years. The market value of these
bonds is subject to interest rate risk, and could decline in value if interest
rates decrease. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in cash flow, the Company
maintains substantially all of its debt instruments as fixed rate. The portion
maintained as fixed rate is dependent on many factors including judgments as to
future trends in interest rates.

         The Company's investment portfolio also includes equity interests in
United States government and agency bond funds. The value of these equity
interests is also subject to interest rate risk.

         The Company regularly assesses the above-described market risks and has
established policies and business practices to protect against the adverse
effects of these and other potential exposures. The Company's investment policy
restricts investments to U.S. Government or government backed securities, or the
highest rated commercial paper (A1P1) only. As a result, the Company does not
anticipate any material losses in these areas. 

         For disclosure purposes, the Company uses sensitivity analysis to
determine the impacts that market risk exposures may have on the fair values of
the Company's debt and financial instruments. The financial instruments included
in the sensitivity analysis consist of all of the Company's cash and cash
equivalents and long-term and short-term debt instruments.

         To perform sensitivity analysis, the Company assesses the risk of loss
in fair values from the impact of hypothetical changes in interest rates on
market sensitive instruments. The fair values are computed based on the present
value of future cash flows as impacted by the changes in the rates attributable
to the market risk being measured. The discount rates used for the present value
computations were selected based on market interest rates in effect at March 31,
1999. The fair values that result from these computations are compared with the
fair values of these financial instruments at March 31, 1999. The differences in
this comparison are the hypothetical gains or losses associated with each type
of risk. The results of the sensitivity analysis at March 31, 1999 are as
follows:

         Interest Rate Sensitivity: A 10% decrease in the levels of interest
         rates with all other variables held constant would result in a decrease
         in the fair value of the Company's financial instruments by $300,000
         per year. A 10% increase in the levels of interest rates with all other
         variables held constant would result in an increase in the fair value
         of the Company's financial instruments by $300,000 per year. The
         Company maintains a portion of its financial instruments, including
         long-term debt instruments of $6.7 million at March 31, 1999, at
         variable interest rates. If interest rates were to increase 10%, the
         impact of such instruments on cash flows or earnings would not be
         material.

The use of a 10% estimate is strictly for estimation and evaluation purposes
only. The value of the Company's assets may rise or fall by a greater amount
depending on actual general market performances and the value of individual
securities owned by the Company.

         The market price of the Notes generally changes in parallel with the
market price of the Common Stock. When the Common Stock price increases, the
price of the Notes generally increases proportionally. Fair market price of the
Notes can be determined from quoted market prices, where available. The fair
value of the Company's long-term debt was estimated to be $36,000,000 at March
31, 1999 and is lower than the carrying value by $9,000,000. Market risk was
estimated as the potential decrease in fair value resulting from a hypothetical
1% increase in the Company's weighted average long term borrowing rate and a 1%
decrease in quoted market prices, or $1,000,000.
