                      REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors of 
         Cambrex Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of The Cambrex Corporation Savings Plan ("the Plan") as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility
is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. 
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan
as of December 31, 1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of Assets
held for Investment Purposes and Reportable Transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in the
statements of net assets available for plan benefits and the statements of
changes in net assets available for plan benefits is presented for purposes of
additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for plan
benefits and changes in net assets available for plan benefits of each fund. 
The supplemental schedules and Fund Information have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements
and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

                       Notes to the Financial Statements


(1) DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following brief description of the Cambrex Corporation Savings Plan
     (the "Plan") is provided for general information purposes only.
     Participants should refer to the Plan document for more complete
     information.

     (A) GENERAL

          The Plan is a defined contribution plan to provide all eligible
          employees of Cambrex Corporation (the "Company") and its
          subsidiaries a vehicle to accumulate savings.

          The Travelers Fixed Income G.I.C. fund was frozen on December 31,
          1992 and is being liquidated over a 5 year period.

     (B) ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION

          Each employee who was a participant in a previous plan shall
          continue as a participant under the provisions of the Plan as of the
          Effective Date.  All other employees, unless covered under a
          collective bargaining agreement which does not permit participation
          in the Plan or is a temporary or part-time employee scheduled to
          work less than 20 hours per week, are eligible to participate in the
          Plan on the first of the month following completion of thirty
          consecutive days of service.

     (C) CONTRIBUTIONS

          A participant may elect to make, through payroll deduction,
          contributions in whole percentages of at least 1%, and not more than
          12% of his compensation on a before-tax or after-tax basis.
          Participant contributions may not exceed the legal limit.  The
          Company matches 100% of the employee's contribution based on the
          first 3% of his compensation; 50% of the contribution based on the
          succeeding 3%; and no match with respect to contributions in excess
          of 6%.  All Company matching is made in Company stock.  During 1994
          and 1993, the Company match was made in treasury shares.  Active
          participants who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement to
          which the Company is a party are not entitled to matching employer
          contributions unless the collective bargaining agreement
          specifically provides otherwise.

                   Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


(1) DESCRIPTION OF PLAN: CONTINUED

     (D) VESTING

          A participant's interest in the employee contributions to the Plan
          shall always be fully and immediately vested.  A participant
          interest in matching employer contributions shall be vested at a
          rate of twenty percent (20%) for each year of service completed.  If
          not already fully vested under the preceding basis, a participant
          shall be 100% vested in his matching employer contributions upon
          normal retirement date, permanent disability, or death.  At the time
          of termination, any unvested employer contributions are applied to a
          forfeiture account within the Plan.  These forfeited Company
          contributions are accumulated in a forfeiture account until a
          sufficient balance is available to reduce subsequent Company
          contributions. Forfeitures for 1994 and 1993 were $58,876 and
          $33,766, respectively.  Cumulative unused balances in the forfeiture
          accounts amounted to $127,772 and $59,052 at December 31, 1994 and
          1993, respectively.

     (E) WITHDRAWALS DURING EMPLOYMENT

          A contributing participant may make withdrawals from the vested
          portion of his after-tax account balance prior to his termination of
          employment by filing a written request with the Plan Administration
          Committee.  Pre-tax contributions are available only as provided by
          IRS regulation.

     (F) DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS OTHER THAN WITHDRAWALS

          A participant, upon termination of employment for reasons other than
          retirement, death or disability, shall receive all vested amounts in
          his account balances in all investment funds in the form of a lump
          sum payment, in quarterly installments for not less than five (5)
          years, or an annuity contract.  Provided the vested amount for
          distribution is in excess of $3,500, such participant must elect to
          receive a distribution of benefit prior to the first anniversary of
          his severance date or at age 65.

     (G) DEATH, DISABILITY OR RETIREMENT

          If a participant's termination of employment is due to death,
          disability or retirement, all amounts credited to his account are
          payable in one lump sum to him or his designated beneficiary.

     (H) LOANS

          The Loan Fund consists of loans to participants which are subject to
          certain restrictions.  The amounts borrowed are transferred from the
          Funds on a proportional basis. On a monthly basis, repayments of
          principal and interest are transferred to the investment funds. The
          interest rate on loans at December 31, 1994 and 1993 were 8.25% and
          6.5%, respectively.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
          Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) as updated
          from time to time.

                   Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


(1) DESCRIPTION OF PLAN: CONTINUED

     (I) PLAN TERMINATION

          Although the Company has not expressed any intention to do so, the
          Company has the right under the Plan to temporarily or permanently
          discontinue its employer contributions to the Plan or to terminate
          or partially terminate the Plan at any time subject to the
          provisions set forth by ERISA.

          In the event of, and upon, the Company's termination or partial
          termination of the Plan or complete discontinuance of contributions,
          the interest in the portion of each participant's account balance
          attributable to employer contributions shall become fully vested.

          Unless the Company's Board of Directors deems otherwise, termination
          of the Plan shall not accelerate any such payments for the benefit
          of the participants or their beneficiaries, but the assets shall
          continue to be held for distribution and application in the manner
          prescribed by the Board.

(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The financial statements of the Plan have been prepared on the accrual
     basis of accounting.

     (A) NET APPRECIATION (DEPRECIATION)

          The Plan presents in the "Statement of Changes in Net Assets" the
          net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its
          investments, which consists of the realized gains or losses and the
          unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.

     (B) PLAN EXPENSES

          Expenses of the Plan consist of fees charged by the Trustee and
          miscellaneous administrative costs.  All administrative expenses
          incurred by the Plan are paid by the Company.

     (C) CONTRIBUTIONS

          Contributions to the Plan are recognized when authorized by the Plan
          sponsor.

                   Notes to Financial Statements, Continued


(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: CONTINUED

     (D) FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

          The Internal Revenue Service issued it's latest determination letter
          on December 5, 1994, which stated that the Plan and its underlying
          trust qualify under the applicable provisions of the Internal
          Revenue Code and, therefore, are exempt from Federal income taxes.
          Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination
          letter, the Plan administrator believes that the Plan is currently
          designed and being operated in compliance with the applicable
          requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.  Therefore, no provision
          for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial
          statements.

     (E) CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

          The Plan's investments are self-directed by the participants in a
          Trust managed by Fidelity Investments with the exception of the
          Cambrex Stock Fund, which is both participant and non-participant
          directed.  As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively, Plan
          investments are allocated as follows: 35% and 27% of the investments
          are in the Cambrex Corporation Common Stock Fund, 18% and 20% in the
          Growth and Income Fund, 15% and 19% in the Asset Manager Fund, 12%
          and 11% in the Magellan Fund, 9% and 7% in the Government Money
          Market Fund, 9% and 14% in the Travelers Life Insurance Guaranteed
          Investment Contracts, and 2% and 2% in the Short & Intermediate
          Government Fund, respectively.

          As of December 31, 1994 and 1993, a significant portion of the
          Plan's assets were invested in Guaranteed Investment Contracts
          ("GICs").  The risk associated with GICs and their realizable value
          is dependent upon the financial stability of the issuing entity and
          its ability to fulfill the terms of the contracts.

          As of December 31, 1994, the concentration in the Cambrex
          Corporation Common Stock Fund was $10.3 million or 35% of the Plan.
          A significant portion ($2.9 million or 10%) of the Plan's assets
          were invested at the direction of the Plan participants in the
          Cambrex Corporation Common Stock Fund.  The balance of this fund
          ($7.4 million or 25%) is attributable to employer matching
          contributions made solely in company stock.  This fund bears the
          risk associated with a single stock investment.

          Funds offered within the Plan are diversified, allowing employees to
          self-direct participation on a broad range of Funds being offered.
          Employer matching contributions are made directly into the Cambrex
          Corporation Common Stock fund and cannnot be transferred by
          participants until reaching age 55, as provided under Plan
          provisions.

(3) INVESTMENT IN FIDELITY INVESTMENTS

     The assets of the Plan are invested by the participants in several funds
     at Fidelity Investments.  The funds currently available to participants
     are: Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio, Fidelity Asset Manager, Fidelity
     Government Money Market Portfolio, Fidelity Magellan Fund, Fidelity Short
     & Intermediate Government Portfolio, and the Cambrex Stock Fund. 
     Fidelity Growth & Income Portfolio seeks long term growth and a
     reasonable level of current income by investing in companies which offer
     growth potential while paying current dividends.  Fidelity Asset Manager
     seeks high total return and reduced risk over the long term by allocating
     its assets among stocks, bonds, and short-term fixed income instruments. 
     Fidelity Government Money Market Portfolio seeks as high a level of
     current income as is consistent with the preservation of capital and
     liquidity by investing in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
     government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Fidelity Magellan Fund is
     a large, diversified portfolio of common stocks and convertible
     securities seeking long-term growth of capital.  Fidelity Institutional
     Short & Intermediate Government Portfolio seeks to provide a high level
     of current income in a manner consistent with preserving principal by
     exclusively investing in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S.
     government, its agencies or instrumentalities.

     The number of participants in each fund as of December 31, 1994 and 1993
     were:

     Calculations of the portion of the total fund to be allocated to the Plan
     have been made by Fidelity Investments (the "Trustee").  The assets held
     by each fund are described in the prospectus of the fund which are
     available to the Plan participants.  Each fund offers different
     investment opportunities from assets consisting of cash and short-term
     investments, corporate bonds, common stocks, preferred stocks, and
     government securities. Securities traded on a national securities
     exchange are valued at the last reported sales price of the day. 
     Securities traded on the over-the-counter market are valued at the last
     reported bid price.  Purchase and sale of securities are reflected on a
     trade date basis with the gain or loss recognized on the sale of
     securities being based on the average cost.  Each fund has its own
     investment managers who exercise discretionary authority concerning
     investment vehicles within the fund.

     The net investment gain includes interest and dividend income, net gains
     or losses realized upon disposition of investments at fair value, and net
     unrealized appreciation or depreciation of investments.  Investment
     income and gains and losses have been allocated daily at Fidelity in
     proportion to the market values of the respective plans' adjusted for
     contributions and distributions.

(4) INVESTMENT IN TRAVELERS FIXED INCOME G.I.C.

     The investment in The Travelers' Guaranteed Investment Contract is valued
     at the contract rate.  As of December 31, 1992, the Company has
     discontinued to offer the Travelers Fixed Income G.I.C. as an investment
     alternative.  As part of the discontinuance provisions of the contract, a
     minimum of 20% per year is to be transferred out of the Travelers G.I.C.
     and is available for investment into the funds based upon the employees
     current election options.  The first transfer was made on March 1, 1993. 
     In 1994, 25% of the fund balance has been transferred out either through
     participant transfers or distributions.

(5) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Cambrex Stock Fund invests solely in Cambrex Corporation common stock
     and maintains 3-4% liquidity.  Employee contributions are used to buy
     units in the fund.  The employer matching contribution is made in stock
     issued by Cambrex at the average of the high & low trading price on the
     day of contribution. All other transactions of Cambrex Corporation common
     shares are traded on the AMEX.  Withdrawal from the Cambrex Stock Fund
     for transfer to another investment fund is restricted to the employee
     contributions, dividends, interest and appreciation thereon.  These Plan
     transactions are permitted under the Plan provisions and are specifically
     exempt from any ERISA "Party in Interest" regulations.
