             NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994
                                 (UNAUDITED)



(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
     normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
     position as of March 31, 1995, the results of operations for the three
     months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, and changes in cash for the three
     months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994.

     These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with
     the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended
     December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992.

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial
     statements of the Company (APS) and its subsidiaries, Premier, Inc.
     ("Premier"), Advanced Consumer Products, Inc., and APS Joint Venture
     Corporation.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have
     been eliminated in consolidation.

     The business of Premier, the Company's marketing and distribution
     subsidiary, is highly seasonal in that it markets and distributes sunscreen
     products under an exclusive distribution agreement with Johnson and
     Johnson.  Sales of these products are heavily weighted to the first two
     quarters of the calendar year, so the results of operations for the interim
     periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

     The Company considers all short-term investments which have original
     maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents.  Investments
     which have original maturities longer than three months are classified as
     marketable securities in the accompanying balance sheets.


                                       6

     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
     statements to conform with the presentation in 1995.

</TABLE>


      Per share information is based on the weighted average number of shares of
      common stock outstanding, as adjusted during each of the periods. Stock
      options and warrants (common stock equivalents) are not included in the
      calculations as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.


(3)   PRIVATE PLACEMENT

      During the first quarter of 1995, APS received $1,375,261 net of offering
      costs through a previously announced private placement and sale of 310,278
      shares of common stock and 310,278 warrants exercisable over a three-year
      period at an exercise price of $5.32 per share.  The private placement was
      pursuant to an agreement made in 1994 for the sale of up to $8 million of
      common stock and warrants in six installments beginning June 1994 and
      ending September 29, 1995.  In accordance with the private placement
      agreement, the Company has sold $6 million of common stock and warrants as
      of March 30, 1995.  The remaining two optional installments in June and
      September 1995 totalling $2 million of Common Stock and warrants will not
      be sold by the Company.

ITEM 2.
          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
              (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST THOUSAND)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994

Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1995 totalled $5,141,000 compared
to $5,096,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year.  This represented
product revenues of $4,286,000 and licensing revenues of $855,000 compared to
product revenues of $5,008,000 and licensing revenues of $88,000 in the first
quarter of the prior year.

The decline in product revenues was primarily attributable to reduced sales of
Sundown(R)  suncare products (down $1,495,000 or 51%) marketed on behalf of
Johnson & Johnson, Inc. (J&J).  This decline was part of a planned strategy to
manage customer ordering and prevent post-season returns.  This was partially
offset by a 48% increase in sales of Microsponge(R) delivery systems,
principally to Dow Corning for supply to manufacturers of cosmetics and personal
care products, and an increase of 47% in revenues from other consumer products.
These included shipments of two lines of consumer products incorporating the
Microsponge delivery system technology each of which grew by 18% over the first
quarter of the prior year:  Take-Off(R) make-up remover cloths reintroduced in
the fourth quarter of 1994 incorporating the Microsponge technology and the
Exact(R) line of acne products.

Licensing revenues increased from $88,000 in the first quarter of 1994 to
$855,000, primarily due to the receipt of a milestone payment of $1,500,000 from
Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation (Ortho).  This was received on the filing of
the Company's New Drug Application (NDA) for the microsponge-entrapped tretinoin
acne treatment which will be marketed by Ortho upon FDA approval. Half of this
amount was recognized as income and half was treated as deferred royalty income,
under the terms of the agreement with Ortho.

Gross profit for the first quarter was $2,118,000 or 41% of sales, compared to
$1,625,000 or 32% of sales in the year-ago period.  Excluding the license fees,
which benefit revenues without any corresponding cost of sales, gross profit for
the first quarter was consistent with the prior year.

Research and development expense decreased by $367,000 or 28% to $931,000 from
the year-ago first quarter.  This anticipated decrease primarily relates to
reduced spending on now-completed clinical studies for the two New Drug
Applications (NDAs) which the Company has filed.  The second filing relating to
the Company's tretinoin-based prescription acne treatment was submitted in
February 1995.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

Selling and marketing expense increased by $89,000 or 9% to $1,104,000.  This
increase primarily represented expenses associated with the establishment of
the Company's ethical pharmaceutical marketing effort, partially offset by
continued overhead reduction in the consumer products division.

Advertising and promotion expense decreased by $210,000 or 43% to $273,000 as
the Company maintained its focus on cost-efficient point-of-sale advertising
for Exact(R) and Take-off(R), having established a market presence for both
products.

General and administrative expense increased by $89,000 or 14% to $746,000 due
mainly to increased insurance costs.

Interest income increased by $33,000 or 51% to $98,000 due to higher cash
balances during the quarter.  Interest expense was essentially flat.

The net loss for the first quarter of $910,000 represents a 51% improvement
over the net loss of $1,849,000 incurred in the first quarter of the prior
year, due mainly to the receipt of the milestone payment on the filing of the
NDA and the decrease in research and development expense.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Total assets as of March 31, 1995 were $27,900,000 compared with $23,508,000 at
December 31, 1994.  Working capital increased to $6,490,000 from $5,642,000 at
December 31, 1994.  In the same period, cash equivalents and marketable
securities increased to $5,517,000 from $4,518,000.  During the first quarter
of 1995, Company operations used $364,000 of cash.

The Company has financed its operations, including product research and
development, from amounts raised in equity financings; the sale of consumer
products, Microsponge delivery systems and analytical standard products;
payments received under licensing agreements; and interest earned on short-term
investments.  The Company raised $16,636,000 in equity financings in 1992 and
received an additional $10,492,000 in 1994 and the first quarter of 1995 from
two private placements.

On March 31, 1995, the Company had $5,517,000 in cash, cash equivalents and
short-term marketable securities.  The Company's primary investment objectives
for these assets are the preservation of capital and the maintenance of a high
degree of liquidity.

Cash has been expended with regard to Phase III clinical tests of tretinoin
entrapped in a Microsponge delivery system for the treatment of acne, and of
ProZone, APS' Melanosponge product, together with related research and
developments costs, all of which should decrease substantially in 1995
as the respective NDAs have been filed.


                                       9

<PAGE>   10

Additionally, the Company is contractually obligated to purchase minimum annual
quantities of melanin.  Failure to purchase the minimum quantities in 1995
would result in a mandatory payment of $600,000 to its melanin supplier under
"take or pay" provisions.

In February 1995, the Company received a milestone payment of $1,500,000 from
Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation upon the filing of its NDA on the tretinoin
acne treatment.  Additionally, under the terms of one of the private placements
arranged in 1994, the Company received net proceeds of $1,375,000 in March 1995.

The Company's existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term marketable
securities, collections of trade accounts receivable, together with interest
income and other revenue producing activities, are expected to be sufficient to
meet the Company's near-term cash requirements assuming no changes to existing
business plans.  The Company is currently exploring  a number of opportunities
to generate additional cash to sustain and develop the business, including
sales of idle assets, refinancing of existing debt, joint ventures, licensing
opportunities and equity financings.

If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to raise additional cash,
operating costs will have to be significantly reduced in the near term.
