Compensation Committee Report

     The Compensation Committee determines the Company's
executive compensation policies.  The Compensation Committee
determines the compensation of the Company's executive officers
and approves and oversees the administration of incentive
compensation programs for all employees including executive
officers.  The Compensation Committee is composed solely of
outside directors.

     Executive Compensation Policies and Programs

     The Company's executive compensation program is part of a
company-wide program covering all employees.  The program's goals
are to attract, retain, and motivate employees, and it utilizes
incentives such that employees and stockholders share the same
risks.  The compensation program is designed to link compensation
to performance.  A portion of each employee's compensation
relates to the grant of stock options, and such grants are based
on the successful attainment of strategic corporate, business
unit, and individual goals.  As the Company has not as yet
attained significant commercial revenues, goals are set which
relate to the successful attainment of strategic events.

     The Company does not have a pension plan or other capital
accumulation program.  Grants of stock options are therefore of
great importance to executives as well as all employees.  Any
long-term value to be derived from such grants will be consistent
with stockholder gains.

     Executive and employee compensation includes salary,
employment-related benefits, and long-term incentive compensa-

tion:

     Salary.  Salaries are set competitively relative to the
chemical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical industries -- indus-

tries with which the Company competes for its highly skilled
personnel.  Individual experience and performance is considered
when setting salaries within the range for each position.  Annual
reviews are held and adjustments are made based on attainment of
individual goals.

     Benefits.  All employees are eligible for similar benefits,
such as health, disability, and life insurance.

     Long-Term Incentive Compensation.  An incentive
compensation program is established annually.  The purpose of
this program is to provide financial incentives to executives and
employees to achieve annual corporate, business unit, and indi-

vidual goals.  The incentive program also aligns executive and
employee interests with those of stockholders by using grants of
stock options.  Such grants vest over time thereby encouraging
continued employment with the Company.  The size of grants is
tied to comparative biotechnology industry practices.  To
determine such comparative data, the Company relies on outside
compensation consultants, the Company's auditors, and third party
industry surveys.

     Under the Company's 1996 incentive program, it was agreed,
subject to the achievement of certain goals in 1996 by the
Company, that the Company would grant at a future date options to
purchase shares of common stock.  A similar incentive program has
been designed for 1997 based on attainment of corporate, business
unit, and individual goals.  The program is open to all regular
full-time employees, other than the executive officers of the
Company.

     Chief Executive Officer Compensation.  Pursuant to Mr.
Jackson's arrangement with the Company entered into on January
11, 1996, Mr. Jackson received an annualized base salary of
$250,000 for 1996.  Mr. Jackson also received a bonus of $105,000
pursuant for 1996.  Mr. Jackson's long-term incentive derived
from the grant of stock options to purchase 250,000 shares of
Common Stock awarded to him at the time he began serving as Chief
Executive Officer.  Factors considered in determining Mr.
Jackson's bonus included the successful attainment of several
important milestones in the development of the Company's
products, as well comparisons to total compensation packages of
chief executive officers at corporations within the Company's
industry that are of comparable size.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     The current members of the Compensation Committee are
Richard C. E. Morgan, Chairman, Frank T. Cary, Walter L. Robb,
and Lee J. Schroeder.  Each is an outside director of the
Company.

Director Compensation

     Directors do not receive salaries or cash fees for serving
as directors nor do they receive any cash compensation for
serving on committees; however, all members of the Board of
Directors who are not employees of the Company ("Non-Employee
Directors") are reimbursed for their expenses for each meeting
attended and are eligible to receive stock options pursuant to
the 1995 Non-Employee Directors' Plan (the "1995 Directors'
Plan").

     The 1995 Directors' Plan was adopted by the Board of
Directors on April 5, 1995, and approved by the Company's
stockholders at the 1995 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  The
1995 Directors' Plan provides for the granting to Non-Employee
Directors of non-qualified options to purchase an aggregate of
not more than 250,000 shares (subject to adjustment in certain
circumstances) of Common Stock.

     Under the 1995 Directors' Plan, each Non-Employee Director
as of April 5, 1995 was granted a non-qualified option to
purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock, and each new Non-Employee
Director upon the date of his election or appointment will be
granted a non-qualified option to purchase 20,000 shares of
Common Stock.  These initial options vest in four equal annual
installments commencing on the first anniversary of the date of
grant, assuming the Non-Employee Director remains a director.

     Upon the date of each Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each
Non-Employee Director is granted a non-qualified option to
purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock (or a pro rata portion
thereof if the director did not serve the entire year since the
date of the last annual meeting).  These options vest in full on
the date of the first Annual Meeting of Stockholders held
following the date of the grant, assuming the Non-Employer
Director is a director on that date.

     All options granted pursuant to the 1995 Directors' Plan
will expire no later than 10 years from the date of grant and no
options may be granted after June 16, 2005.  If a Non-Employee
Director terminates his service on the Board of Directors for any
reason, options which were exercisable on the date of termination
and which have not expired may be exercised at any time until the
date of expiration of such options.  In addition, if there is a
change of control and within two years thereafter, a director is
removed without cause (as defined) or is not nominated for
election by the Company's stockholders, all unvested portions of
a stock option will automatically vest.

     In 1996, pursuant to the 1995 Directors' Plan, each of
Messrs. Cary, Hayes, Morgan, Robb and Schroeder received an
option to purchase 10,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
price of $15.00 per share, the fair market value of the stock on
the date of the grant.

          Management.
