(3)      Earnings Per Common Share

         The calculation of primary earnings per common share is based on the
weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents
outstanding during the applicable period.  For 1993, fully diluted earnings per
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.

         (a) On January 31, 1994, the Company amended the Revolving Credit and
Term Loan Agreement (Credit Agreement) with NBD Bank, N.A., National
Westminster NJ, and United Jersey Bank.  The new Credit Agreement provides for
additional revolving credit facility flexibility as follows:  It is designed to
allow for automatic extensions of termination date.  The current termination
date is January 31, 1997.  It permits the Company to specify a portion of the
borrowing to be designated in various acceptable currencies.  Under the Credit
Agreement, the interest rate options available approximate London Interbank
Offering Rates (LIBOR) for the appropriate currency plus no more than 1 1/2%,
or the U.S. Prime Rate.  On March 31, 1994, the rate was LIBOR+1%.  A
commitment fee of between 250/1000 of 1% and 125/1000 of 1% is paid on the
unused portion of the revolving credit facilities.  Additionally, the
restrictive covenant for net worth was updated.  All other covenants remain
unchanged.  The Company met all bank covenants for the first quarter of 1994.

 6)      Postemployment Benefits

         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 112 "Employers'
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS 112) requires the recognition on
an accrual basis of all types of postemployment benefits provided to former or
inactive employees subsequent to employment but before retirement.  The Company
currently provides limited benefits in this regard.

         The Company will adopt SFAS 112 effective January 1, 1994, and is in
the process of performing calculations to determine the impact of SFAS 112
implementation upon the Company's operating results.

</TABLE>

Health and Pharmaceuticals' revenues decreased $577,000 (4%) from 1993.  This
decrease was primarily due to reduced shipments of Vitamin B3 and its chemical
precursors to customers in Europe.  This sales decrease was caused by a
combination of price competition and product quality issues.  Partially
offsetting this decrease were sales of a product used as an intermediate for
cough syrups and a product used as a reducing agent in pharmaceutical
production; sales of these products increased 10% due to shipments to new
customers in India and in Europe.  Also, a return to a normal sales level of
our generic drug for ulcerative colitis resulted in a 40% increase in sales of
this product.

Agricultural Intermediates and Additives' revenues increased by $1,356,000
(11%) over 1993.  Key increases occurred in shipments of a niacinamide
intermediate to India and the Asia-Pacific area and in the shipments of feed
additives for the poultry industry.  New capacity for feed additives was
completed in the first quarter 1994.

Specialty and Fine Chemicals' revenues increased $1,926,000 (17%) over 1993.
The acquisition of Seal Sands Chemicals Ltd. on January 31, 1994 accounted for
a total of $2,440,000 in sales of specialty chemicals of which $2,200,000 are
new to the Cambrex list of products. Reduced sales in this category include a
product exported to a Japanese company for use as a photographic chemical
intermediate, a product used in fashioning stone-washed jeans, and products
used as catalysts in chemical manufacturing.

Performance Chemicals' revenues increased $2,031,000 (38%) from prior year.
This increase was due to the acquisition of a complimentary fiber optic gel
business in March 1993.  The increased sales in the first quarter from this
acquisition was $1,750,000.  All the other telecommunication, encapsulants and
adhesive products in this category either maintained or had increased sales
levels.

Coatings' revenues decreased $853,000 (18%) from 1993.  This decline was
primarily due to a tolling agreement for biocides products that ended in May
1993.

Gross profit in the first quarter 1994 of $11,403,000 (22.3%) compared to
$11,919,000 (25%) in the first quarter 1993.  The decline in gross profit was
due to manufacturing variances caused by lower production volumes, overtime and
higher utility costs related to weather problems experienced in most of our
plants during January and February.  These problems have not been encountered
since February and all of our plants are running at normal production levels.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenues
was 14.7% in the first quarter 1994 versus 17.5% in 1993.  The first quarter
1994 expense of $7,489,000 was $860,000 below 1993.  The major item was
recovery of $650,000 in legal costs as part of a settlement with insurance
companies relating to coverage of environmental remediation costs.  Reduced
spending in selling and marketing, research and development and administration,
including staff reductions, added to the reduction.

Interest expense for the first quarter decreased $314,000 from 1993.  This
decrease is due to recording the capitalization of interest costs of $175,000
in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 34, and the
elimination of higher interest debt including a capital lease and convertible
9% notes.

Other expenses for the first quarter 1994 was $172,000 compared with $69,000 in
other income for the first quarter 1993.  The key change was a settlement for
$250,000 included in 1993, related to the termination of a contract by a
customer.

Net income for the first quarter 1994 was $2,128,000 compared to $1,794,000 for
the first quarter 1993.  The earnings per share (fully diluted) in the first
quarter 1994 were 38 cents, compared with 34 cents in 1993 (12% increase).

Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits" (SFAS 112) requires the recognition on an accrual basis
of all types of postemployment benefits provided to former or inactive
employees subsequent to employment but before retirement.  The Company will
adopt SFAS 112 effective January 1, 1994, and is in the process of performing
calculations to determine the impact of SFAS 112 implementation upon the
Company's operating results.

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.  Cash flow from
operations decreased by less than $250,000, when compared to the first quarter
of 1993, the most significant fluctuation reflecting increases in accounts
receivable.

The highest expenditures in the quarter were from investing activities.
Capital expenditures of $3,861,000 for the first quarter 1994 were $949,000
higher than the prior year.  The key capital expenditures were for a new
manufacturing facility to meet a customer's requirements.  Additional funds
were used to acquire the assets of Hexcel Corporation's fine chemicals business
located in Middlesbrough, England, now known as Seal Sands Chemicals Ltd.  The
assets were purchased for approximately $7,300,000 and the assumption of
certain current liabilities in the amount of $2,700,000.

On January 31, 1994, the Company amended the Revolving Credit and Term Loan
Agreement (Credit Agreement) with NBD Bank, N.A., National Westminster NJ, and
United Jersey Bank.  The new Credit Agreement provides for additional revolving
credit facility flexibility as follows:  It is designed to allow for automatic
extensions of termination date.  The current termination date is January 31,
1997.  It permits the Company to specify a portion of the borrowing to be
designated in various acceptable currencies.  Under the Credit Agreement, the
interest rate options available approximate London Interbank Offering Rates
(LIBOR) for the appropriate currency plus no more than 1 1/2%, or the U.S.
Prime Rate.  A commitment fee of between 250/1000 of 1% and 125/1000 of 1% is
paid on the unused portion of the revolving credit facilities.  Additionally,
the restrictive covenant for net worth was updated.  All other covenants remain
unchanged.

The quarterly cash dividend declared on January 27, 1994 was paid on February
25, 1994.  On April 28, 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 May 13, 1994.  The dividend is payable on May 27, 1994.
