share assumes conversion of the outstanding convertible subordinated notes that
were converted in September 1993, and the elimination of related interest
expense net of tax.

Long-Term Debt continued

         The new Credit Agreement permits the Company to choose between various
interest rate options and to specify the portion of the borrowing to be covered
by specific interest rate options.  Under the Revolving Credit Agreement and
Bridge Loan, the interest rate options available to the Company are:  (a) U.S.
prime rate plus the applicable margin (ranging from 0% to 3/4 of 1%) or (b)
LIBOR plus the applicable margin (ranging from 1/2 of 1% to 2%).  The
applicable margin is adjusted based upon the Funded Indebtedness to Cash Flow
Ratio of Cambrex Corporation.  The Term Loan will have the same options plus
1/2%.  Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee of between 1/5 of 1% and
3/8 of 1% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit facilities.

         On October 11, 1994, $32,200 and L4,265 ($6,734) from the new Loan
Agreement were used to satisfy the prior Credit Agreement.  On October 12,
1994, $126,000 from the new Loan Agreement was used to purchase the stock of
Nobel's Pharma Chemistry Business.

         The Company met all the bank covenants for the third quarter of 1994.

inactive employees subsequent to employment but before retirement.  The Company
currently provides limited benefits in this regard and has determined the
implementation effect of SFAS 112 to be immaterial.

(7)      Contingencies

         Refer to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993, for
disclosure of existing contingencies related to environmental issues.
Presented below is a subsequent development in a matter that was disclosed in
Form 10-K.

         On October 21, 1994, CasChem, Inc., a subsidiary of Cambrex announced
that it had agreed to a settlement of legal proceedings associated with a 1990
investigation by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the
Environmental Protection Agency at Caschem's Bayonne, New Jersey facility.
Under an agreement with the United States Attorney's office in Newark, CasChem
agreed to pay a fine of $1 million in connection with a drum of material
determined to be hazardous waste that was stored longer than the legally
permitted 90-day period.  There will be no impact on the Company's financial
results since current reserves are adequate to cover the payments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The third quarter 1994 net revenues increased 20% to $57,608,000 from
$48,065,000 in the previous year.  The $9,543,000 of increased revenue included
sales from the Company's Seal Sands Chemicals Ltd. facility in England,
acquired on January 31, 1994.  Third quarter sales increased in our health and
pharmaceuticals, specialty and fine chemicals, and coatings products.

</TABLE>

        Health and Pharmaceuticals' revenues increased $2,160,000 (17%) from
third quarter 1993.  Growth in this category has been achieved with a contract
for producing a new product used in the synthesis of an over-the-counter cough
suppressant, and the continued strong increase in sales of a generic drug used
for the treatment of ulcerative colitis.  A portion of this increase is from
export markets.

        Agricultural Intermediates and Additives' revenues increased by
$2,289,000 (20%) over 1993.  Feed grade Vitamin B3 and its intermediates
increased in sales due to volume increases worldwide.  However, these sales
were adversely affected by pricing competition.  Other pyridine derivatives
used in crop protection had higher sales to India and China.  Price increases
for pyridine derivatives are occurring in the fourth quarter, with feed grade
Vitamin B3 price increases due to take effect at the beginning of 1995.

        Specialty and Fine Chemicals' revenues increased $5,289,000 (43%) over
1993.  Seal Sands Chemicals Ltd. (acquired on January 31, 1994) accounted for
$4,134,000 in sales of specialty chemicals of which $3,800,000 are new products
to Cambrex.  Increases occurred due to the addition of several new catalyst
customers; new use of a fire retardant material now used as a dye receptor in
acrylic yarns; and growth in pyridine derivatives.

                                     - 9 -
<PAGE>   10
        Performance Chemicals' revenues decreased $392,000 (4%) from prior
year.  The decline was due to a customer's delay in starting up a new line
which uses our fiber optic gel product, and reduced sales of encapsulants due
to the loss of a major domestic customer.

        Coatings' revenues increased $438,000 (11%) over 1993.  This
improvement was due to additional sales to two customers not present in 1993,
and to general market improvement in the paints and coatings industry which
uses our castor oil based products.

        Gross profit in the third quarter 1994 of $13,265,000 (23.0% of sales),
compared to $13,411,000 (27.9% of sales) in the third quarter 1993.  The margin
percentage was adversely affected by continued decreases in the price of
pyridine and its derivatives, and the increased costs of major raw materials
used in the pyridine synthesis.  The gross margin has also been negatively
affected by additional startup costs associated with a  contract for production
of a new product.

        Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net
revenues was 15.2% in the third quarter 1994 versus 18.7% in 1993.  The third
quarter 1994 expense of $8,770,000 was $218,000 below 1993.  Reductions in
sales and marketing, and outside research and development expenditures were due
mainly to cost reduction efforts put in practice during the first quarter 1994.
Higher administrative costs included the added cost of the Seal Sands
acquisition, but even these additions have been offset by cost reductions.

        Interest expense for the third quarter decreased $233,000 from 1993.
This decrease is due to recording the capitalization of interest costs and the
elimination in the third and fourth quarters 1993 of higher interest debt
including a capital lease and convertible 9% notes.

        The provision for income taxes was reduced from 39.5% to approximately
37% for the third quarter.  A favorable adjustment of $120,000 was recorded in
the third quarter.  The income tax rate for nine months is 35% and is expected
to be approximately 34% by year end.

        Net income for the third quarter 1994 was $2,440,000 compared to
$2,194,000 for the third quarter 1993.  The earnings per share (fully diluted)
in the third quarter 1994 were 43 cents, compared with 41 cents in 1993.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        The Company's liquidity and capital resources, in the opinion of
management, adequately enable the Company to meet its needs for cash.  Net cash
flow from operations increased by $6,487,000, when compared to the first nine
months of 1993.  The majority of this increase is derived from higher net
income and additional depreciation and amortization charges.

        The key expenditures in the quarter were from investing activities.
Capital expenditures of $11,842,000 for the first nine months of 1994 were
$1,284,000 higher than the prior year.  The major capital expenditures were for
a new facility to generate steam at our Charles City, Iowa plant and for a
project at our Zeeland, Michigan plant providing facilities to manufacture a
new product for a major customer.  Funds were expended to acquire the assets of
Hexcel's fine chemicals business in Middlesbrough, England, and to subsequently
acquire a product line complimentary to this business.

        On October 12, 1994, the Company, through wholly owned subsidiaries,
purchased Nobel's Pharma Chemistry Business (the "Business") from Akzo Nobel
for approximately $126 million.  The Business consists of Nobel Chemicals A.B.,
in Karlskoga, Sweden, Profarmaco Nobel S.r.l. in Milan, Italy, and sales
companies in Germany, England, and the United States.  Operations include the
manufacture and sales of pharmaceutical active ingredients and intermediates,
and specialty and fine chemicals.

        The funds used by the Company for the acquisition were supplied from
borrowings under a new $225 million credit facility provided by a group of
banks with NBD Bank, N.A., as agent.  The Company entered into this new Loan
Agreement (Credit Agreement) on September 21, 1994 with NBD Bank, N.A., United
Jersey Bank, National Westminster Bank NJ, Wachovia Bank of Georgia, N.A.,
GHF-Bank, The First National Bank of Boston, Chemical Bank New Jersey, N.A.,
and National City Bank.  This new Loan Agreement replaces the existing
Revolving Credit and Term Loan Agreement with NBD Bank, N.A., United Jersey
Bank, and National Westminster Bank NJ.  The new Credit Agreement provides for
a bridge loan in the aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000, a term loan in
the aggregate principal amount of $75,000,000 and a revolving credit facility
in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000.

        The new Credit Agreement permits the Company to choose between various
interest rate options and to specify the portion of the borrowing to be covered
by specific interest rate options.  Under the Revolving Credit Agreement and
Bridge Loan, the interest rate options available to the Company are:  (a)  U.S.
prime rate plus the applicable margin (ranging from 0% to 3/4 of 1%) or (b)
LIBOR plus the applicable margin (ranging from 1/2 of 1% to 2%).  The
applicable margin is adjusted based upon the Funded Indebtedness to Cash Flow
Ratio of Cambrex Corporation.  The Term Loan will have the same options plus
1/2%.  Additionally, the Company pays a commitment fee of between 1/5 of 1% and
3/8 of 1% on the unused portion of the Revolving Credit facilities.

        On October 11, 1994, $32,200,000 and L4,265,000 ($6,734,000) from the
New Loan Agreement were used to satisfy the prior Credit Agreement.

        The quarterly cash dividend declared on July 28, 1994 was paid on
August 26, 1994.  On October 27, 1994, the Board of Directors declared a
quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of 5 cents per share for all
shareholders of record as of November 11, 1994.  The dividend is payable on
November 25, 1994.

        On October 21, 1994, CasChem, Inc., a subsidiary of Cambrex announced
that it had agreed to a settlement of legal proceedings associated with a 1990
investigation by agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the
Environmental Protection Agency at CasChem's Bayonne, New Jersey facility.
Under an agreement with the Unites States Attorney's office in Newark, CasChem
agreed to pay a fine of $1 million in connection with a drum of material
determined to be hazardous waste that was stored longer than the legally
permitted 90-day period.

        This case has been defended for more than four and a half years.  The
settlement was reached in an effort to avoid large legal fees associated with a
lengthy trial, as well as to alleviate continued distraction of management from
operating the current business.  There will be no impact on the Company's
financial results since current reserves are adequate to cover the payment.
