CAMBREX CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)
(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unless otherwise indicated by the context, "Cambrex" or the "Company"
means Cambrex Corporation and subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
have been prepared from the records of the Company. In the opinion of
management, the financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only
normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position and results of operations in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1998.
All diluted earnings per share are computed on the basis of the weighted
average shares of common stock outstanding plus common equivalent shares arising
from the effect of dilutive stock options, using the treasury stock method.
The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June
30, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.
(2) INVENTORIES
Inventories at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consist of the
following:

(3) ACQUISITIONS
On March 12, 1999, Cambrex announced the purchase of the Irotec
Laboratories Ltd. ("Irotec"), a supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients
(APIs) located in Cork, Ireland. Cambrex paid approximately $34 million for the
business, net of cash acquired, which was financed through the Company's cash
reserves. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method and
as such, the purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of assets
acquired.

(3) ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
On January 4, 1999, the Company acquired Poietic Technologies, Inc.
("Poietics"), the leading supplier of normal human cells of hematopoietic
origin. The Company paid $2.5 million cash and will pay future consideration
based on the performance of the business.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 1999, the above acquisitions
increased gross sales by $6,340 and $7,406, respectively, operating profit by
$1,134 and $1,180, respectively, net income by $582 and $583, respectively, and
earnings per share by $0.02
(4) COMMITMENTS
On March 19, 1999, Cambrex announced that it had entered into a put
option and call option pertaining to the stock of Conti BPC NV ("Conti"), a
manufacturer and supplier of pharmaceutical intermediates and active
pharmaceutical ingredients located in Landen, Belgium. Cambrex granted a put
option for the stock of Conti that may be exercised from March 1, 2001 to March
1, 2002 to the seller. Simultaneously, Cambrex was granted a call option with
terms similar to the put option by the seller. The price associated to the put
and call options is approximately $5 million, subject to future working capital
adjustments.
(5) INCOME TAXES
The provision for income taxes of June 30, 1999 resulted in an effective
rate of 33% versus 45% at June 30, 1998. The decrease is mainly due to the
effect of the Italian Substitute Tax Election, which was recorded in the second
quarter of 1998. This election caused the provision for income tax to increase
by $3,420 in 1998, but allows previously non-deductible goodwill of Cambrex's
Italian subsidiary, Profarmaco, S.r.l., to be deducted and will result in a
total future tax benefit in the years 1999 to 2004 of approximately $8,000.
Excluding the Italian Substitute Tax, the effective tax rate would have been 35%
in 1998.
(6) LONG-TERM DEBT
Long-term debt at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 consists of the

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(8) CONTINGENCIES
The Company is subject to various investigations, claims and legal
proceedings covering a wide range of matters that arise in the ordinary course
of its business activities.
Environmental
In connection with laws and regulations pertaining to the protection of
the environment, the Company is a party to several environmental remediation
investigations and cleanups and, along with other companies, has been named a
"potentially responsible party" for certain waste disposal sites (Superfund
sites). Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is
possible that some of these matters will be decided unfavorably against the
Company. The Company had accruals, included in current accrued liabilities and
other noncurrent liabilities, of $4,500 at June 30, 1999, and $4,800 at December
31, 1998, for costs associated with the study and remediation of Superfund sites
and the Company's current and former operating sites for matters that are
probable and reasonably estimable. After reviewing information currently
available, management believes any amounts paid in excess of the accrued
liabilities will not have a material effect on its financial position or results
of operations. However, these matters, if resolved in a manner different from
the estimates, could have a material adverse effect on financial condition,
operating results and cash flows when resolved in a future reporting period.
Litigation
The Company and its subsidiary Profarmaco S.r.l. ("Profarmaco") were
named as defendants in a proceeding instituted by the Federal Trade Commission
("FTC") on December 21, 1998, in the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia. The complaint alleges that exclusive license agreements
which Profarmaco entered into with Mylan Laboratories, Inc. ("Mylan") covering
the drug master files for (and, therefore, the right to buy and use) two active
pharmaceutical ingredients ("APIs"), lorazepam and clorazepate, were part of an
effort on Mylan's part to restrict competition in the supply of lorazepam and
clorazepate and to increase the price charged for these products when Mylan sold
them as generic pharmaceuticals. The complaint further alleges that these
agreements violate the Federal Trade Commission Act, and that Mylan, Cambrex,
Profarmaco, and Gyma Laboratories of America, Inc., Profarmaco's distributor in
the United States, engaged in an unlawful restraint of trade and conspired to
monopolize and attempted to monopolize the markets for the generic
pharmaceuticals incorporating the APIs. The FTC seeks a permanent injunction and
other relief, including disgorgement of the profits generated through the
licensing arrangements, which the FTC alleges to be in excess of $120,000 for
all defendants. In accordance with the license agreement, the Company received
royalties of approximately $19,300 for the year ended December 31, 1998. The
second quarter 1998 included $8,500 in royalty income from Mylan. The royalty
arrangements under the agreement have concluded, however, and the Company sold
these products on a non-exclusive basis in 1999.
9
<PAGE> 11
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(8) CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)
A lawsuit making similar allegations against the Company and Profarmaco,
and seeking injunctive relief and treble damages, has been filed by the
Attorneys General of 31 states and the District of Columbia in the United States
District Court for the District of Columbia on behalf of those states and
persons in those states who were purchasers of the generic pharmaceuticals. The
Company and Profarmaco have also been named in purported class action complaints
brought by private plaintiffs in various state courts on behalf of purchasers of
lorazepam and clorazepate in generic form, making allegations essentially
similar to those raised in the FTC's complaint and seeking various forms of
relief including treble damages.
The Company believes that its licensing arrangements with Mylan are in
accordance with regulatory requirements and will vigorously defend the FTC's
actions and various other lawsuits and class actions. However, the Company and
Mylan have terminated the exclusive licenses to the drug master files. The
future royalty arrangements under the agreements have concluded as of December
31, 1998. In entering these licensing arrangements, the Company elected not to
raise the price of its products and had no control or influence over the pricing
of the final generic product forms by Mylan.
On May 14, 1998, the Company's Nepera subsidiary, a manufacturer and
seller of niacinamide (Vitamin B3), received a Federal Grand Jury subpoena for
the production of documents relating to the pricing and possible customer
allocation with regard to that product. The Company understands that the
subpoena was issued as part of the Federal Government's ongoing antitrust
investigation into various business practices in the vitamin industry generally.
The Company and Nepera have been cooperating fully with the government's
investigation.
While it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of the FTC
action and various other lawsuits and class actions, it is the opinion of
management that the ultimate resolution of these proceedings should not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations, cash flows and
financial position. These matters, if resolved in an unfavorable manner, could
have a material effect on the operating results and cash flows when resolved in
a future reporting period.
(9) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On July 12, 1999, Cambrex acquired FMC Corporation's Bio Products
business for approximately $38 million, of which $31 million was financed
through the Company's revolving credit agreement and $7 million through the
Company's cash reserves. The acquisition includes two operating facilities
located in Rockland, Maine and Copenhagen, Denmark, and a number of U.S. and
foreign patents associated with the business. The acquisition will be accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(in thousands, except per-share amounts)
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
COMPARISON OF SECOND QUARTER 1999 VERSUS SECOND QUARTER 1998
The results for the second quarter of 1999 were above the same period a year ago
due to increased sales in the Human Health, Biotechnology and Animal
Health/Agriculture Segments, as well as lower administrative expenses, lower
interest costs and a reduced tax rate. The effective tax rate for the quarter
ended June 1999 was 32%, versus 34% in the second quarter 1998. (Excluding the
effect of the Italian Tax election of $3,420).
The following tables show the gross sales of the Company's four segments, in
dollars and as a percentage of the Company's total gross sales for the quarters
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Gross sales in the second quarter 1999 increased 6.4% to $123,642 from $116,173
in the second quarter 1998. Sales in the Human Health, Biotechnology and Animal
Health/Agriculture product segments increased compared to the second quarter
1998 and more than offset the decrease in the Specialty Business segment.
The foreign currency translation adjustments decreased by $8,120 to a negative
$28,542 from March 31, 1999. This decrease is attributable primarily to
significant exchange rate fluctuations in the Italian lira against the U.S.
dollar in the second quarter 1999. The exchange rate declined from 1,793.51 lira
to the dollar at March 31, 1999 to 1,877.60 lira to the dollar at June 30, 1999,
a decline of 5%. There were also fluctuations in the Italian lira between
average rates and month end rates in the second quarter 1999 which had an effect
on the foreign currency translation adjustment. The Swedish Krona and British
Pound Sterling each decreased approximately 3% in the second quarter.
The Human Health Segment gross sales of $59,065 were $6,114 (12%) above the
second quarter 1998. Gross sales were above the prior year due to increased
demand for generic pharmaceuticals used in gastro-intestinal, endocrine and
central nervous system preparations, as well as new products and sales generated
by our acquisition of Irotec in Ireland in March 1999. Partially offsetting
these increases was the absence of shipments of an advanced intermediate used in
the production of a protease inhibitor for the treatment of AIDS, which had
$2,500 in sales in the second quarter 1998.
The Biotechnology Segment gross sales of $17,353 were $887 (5%) above the second
quarter 1998 from increased shipments of endotoxin detection and cell culture
products, partially offset by reduced sales of lower margin serum products.
Sales were also impacted by a temporary halt in shipments of a cell product used
by a major customer.
The Animal Health/Agriculture Segment gross sales of $15,666 in the second
quarter 1999 were $1,777 (13%) above the second quarter 1998. The second quarter
increase was due to sales of an agricultural intermediate which is being used in
a new crop protection application. Animal Health product sales were affected by
slower exports made by a major customer caused by the continued economic
slowdown in Pacific Rim countries.
The Specialty Business Segment gross sales of $31,558 decreased $1,309 (4%)
below the second quarter 1998 reflecting lower sales of products to the
photography market and reduced demand for an engineering plastics monomer due to
continued softness in Far East markets. Encapsulants used in the
telecommunications market increased due to orders from new customers.
Export sales from U.S. businesses of $14,085 in the second quarter 1999
decreased 14% from the second quarter 1998. International sales from our
European operations totaled $50,288 for the second quarter of 1999 as compared
with $42,939 in 1998, an increase of 17%.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
The gross profit in the second quarter 1999 was $42,859 compared to $47,821 in
1998. Second quarter 1998 included $8,500 of royalty income. This royalty income
ended in December 1998 with the termination of the exclusive portion of the
License Agreement with Mylan Laboratories. The gross margin was 34.7% in the
second quarter 1999 versus 41.2% in 1998 (without the royalty income the gross
margin in 1998 was 33.8%). The gross margin percent for the Human Health Segment
was impacted by no royalty income in 1999 versus the $8,500 in 1998. Without the
royalty income the second quarter 1998 gross margin for Human Health would have
been 38.3% compared with 39.8% in the second quarter 1999.
The second quarter 1998 included $8,500 in royalty income from Mylan
Laboratories for the use of intellectual property related to three
pharmaceutical ingredients. The royalty arrangements under the agreements have
concluded. The Company sold these products on a non-exclusive basis in the
second quarter 1999.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of gross sales was
16.0% in the second quarter 1999, down from 17.0% in the second quarter 1998.
The decrease was mainly due to the lower administrative expenses at the
corporate group and additional expense reduction at some of the specialty
chemical sites. These decreases more than offset increased sales and marketing
expenses resulting from building the Biotechnology and Human Health Segments.
Research and development expenses of $3,291 were 2.7% of gross sales in the
second quarter 1999, and represented a 15% decrease from 1998. This decrease was
due to reduced research costs at our Zeeland, Michigan site and reduced
corporate sponsored R&D activities with outside organizations.
The operating profit in the second quarter 1999 was $19,751, compared to $24,156
in 1998. The second quarter 1998 operating profit included $8,500 in royalty
income, which was ended as of December 31, 1998.
Net interest expense of $2,050 in the second quarter 1999 reflected a decrease
of $536 from 1998 as the result of a reduction in the outstanding loan balance
and a lower interest rate. The average interest rate was 5.8% in the second
quarter 1999 versus versus 6.5% in 1998.
Other expense of $125 for the second quarter 1999 was $328 higher than the $203
in other income in 1998. The second quarter 1998 included gains on foreign
exchange at our Italian subsidiary.
The provision for income taxes for the second quarter 1999 resulted in an
effective rate of 32.1% versus 34.3% in 1998 (excluding the effect of the
Italian Tax Election of $3,420) The decrease in the 1999 rate was mainly due to
the effect of the Italian Substitute Tax Benefit, and Research and Development
credits.
The Company's net income for the second quarter 1999 increased 9.6% to $11,926
compared with a net income of $10,886 in the second quarter 1998.

COMPARISON OF FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1999 VERSUS FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1998
Results in the first half of 1999 were above the comparable 1998 period due to
the increase in sales in the Human Health and Biotechnology product Segments,
lower administrative expenses, lower interest costs and a reduced tax rate.
Sales increased by $11,218 (5%) in 1999 to $241,161 compared to the same period
a year ago. The effect of foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted
sales by $600 in the first half of 1999 versus 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Gross sales in the first half 1999 increased 4.9% to $241,161 from $229,943 in
the first half 1998. Sales in the Human Health, Biotechnology and Animal
Health/Agriculture product segments increased compared to the first half 1998
and more than offset the decrease in the Specialty Business segment.
The foreign currency translation adjustments decreased by $16,992 to a negative
$28,542 from December 31, 1998. This decrease is attributable primarily to
significant exchange rate fluctuations in the Italian lira against the U.S.
dollar in the first half 1999. The exchange rate declined from 1,648.94 lira to
the dollar at December 31, 1999 to 1,877.60 lira to the dollar at June 30, 1999,
a decline of 14%. There were also fluctuations in the Italian lira between
average rates and month end rates in the first half 1999 which had an effect on
the foreign currency translation adjustment. The Swedish Krona and British Pound
Sterling each decreased approximately 5% in the first half.
The Human Health Segment gross sales of $114,710 were $11,547 (11%) above the
first half of 1998 due primarily to generic pharmaceuticals used in
gastro-intestinal and central nervous system preparations, new products, and
sales generated by the acquisition of Irotec in Ireland in March 1999. This
Segment has been adversely affected by no shipments of an advanced intermediate
used in the production of a protease inhibitor for the treatment of AIDS, which
had $6,100 in sales in the first half of 1998.
The Biotechnology Segment gross sales of $34,972 were $2,970 (9%) above the
first half of 1998 due to increased shipments of endotoxin detection and cell
culture products. Sales were negatively impacted by a temporary halt in
shipments of a cell product used by a major customer.
The Animal Health/Agriculture Segment gross sales of $31,522 were $1,350 (4%)
above the first half of 1998. This increase was mainly due to new applications
by a customer for crop protection. Animal Health product sales were affected by
slower exports made by a major customer caused by the continued economic
slowdown in Pacific Rim countries.
The Specialty Business Segment gross sales of $59,957 were $4,649 (7%) below the
first half of 1998 due to reduced demand for an engineering plastics monomer
reflecting continued softness in Far East markets. Encapsulants used in
telecommunications increased due to orders from new customers.
Export sales from U.S. businesses of $31,434 in the first half of 1999 compared
to $32,261 in 1998. International sales from our European operations totaled
$99,224 for the first six months of 1999 compared to $86,344 in 1998.
Total gross profit of $83,362 was $3,409 below 1998 due mainly to the effect of
royalty income of $9,500 in the first half of 1998. The gross margin for the
first half of 1999 was 34.6% versus 37.7% in 1998. Excluding the royalty income,
the gross margin in 1998 was 33.6%.

<PAGE> 17
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Selling, general and administrative and research and development expenses as a
percentage of gross sales was 19.2% in the first half of 1999, down from 19.7%
in 1998. The decrease is mainly due to reduced administrative costs at the
corporate group and a reorganization at some of the specialty chemical sites
which was started in 1998. Increases in marketing and sales was due to added
promotional and compensation expenses attributed to upgrading biotechnology
marketing efforts in the U.S. and Europe.
The average interest rate was 5.9% in the first half of 1999 versus 6.4% in
1998.
The provision for income taxes for the first half resulted in an effective rate
of 32.5% versus 35% in 1998 (excluding the Italian Tax Election).
The first half 1998 included a one-time charge of $3,420 in income taxes for the
Italian Tax Election. This election allows previously non-deductible goodwill of
Cambrex's Italian subsidiary, Profarmaco, S.r.l., to be deducted. This one-time
charge will have a total future tax benefit in the years 1999 to 2004 of
approximately $8,000.
The Company's net income for the first six months of 1999 increased 10% to
$22,105 compared with a net income of $20,029 in 1998.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company generated cash flows from
operations totaling $46,120, an increase of $12,307 over the same period a year
ago. This increase in cash flows is due primarily to increased revenues, as well
as a working capital reduction program. The decrease in the cash balance for the
six months 1999 was $25,573, primarily due to the acquisition of Irotec for
$34,836, net of cash acquired.
Capital expenditures were $14,302 in the first six months of 1999 as compared to
$17,311 in the six months of 1998. Funds were used for new production
capabilities in Bayonne, NJ, and the start of construction of a new Niacinimide
(Vitamin B3) plant which is expected to lower operating/production costs.
During the first six months of 1999, the Company paid cash dividends of $0.06
per share.
The Company's primary market risk relates to exposure to foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations on transactions entered into by our international
operations which are primarily denominated in the U.S. dollar, Swedish krona and
Italian lira. The Company currently uses foreign currency forward exchange
contracts to mitigate the effect of short-term foreign exchange rate movements
on the Company's operating results. The net notional amount of these contracts
is $33,939 which the Company estimates to be approximately 69% of the foreign
currency exposure during the period covered resulting in a deferred currency
loss of $1,358 at June 30, 1999.

<PAGE> 18
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)
In January 1999, Cambrex acquired Poietic Technologies, Inc. for $2,500 cash and
in March 1999, the Company purchased Irotec Laboratories Ltd. for approximately
$34,000, which was financed through the Company's cash reserves. In July 1999,
the Company completed the acquisition of FMC Corporation's Bio Products business
for approximately $38,000, of which $31,000 was financed through the Company's
revolving credit agreement and $7,000 through the Company's cash reserves.
Management believes that existing sources of capital, together with cash flows
from operations, will be sufficient to meet foreseeable cash flow requirements.

YEAR 2000 UPDATE
The ability of computers, software or any equipment utilizing micro-processors
to properly recognize and process data information at the turn of the century is
commonly referred to as a Year 2000 ("Y2K") compliance issue. To minimize the
risk of unplanned interruptions, the Company is using a multi-step approach in
conducting its year 2000 project. These steps are as follows:
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE INVENTORY AND ASSESSMENT: Documenting the hardware
and software used by Cambrex and assigning a impact level to the
business, if the item fails due to Y2K related problems.
HARDWARE/SOFTWARE VERIFICATION AND VALIDATION: Documenting the
compliance status of hardware and software used by Cambrex and
performing tests to validate compliance for critical systems.
SUPPLIER/CUSTOMER VERIFICATION: Surveying suppliers and customers on
their Y2K compliance readiness and assessing their responses and taking
corrective action.
IMPLEMENTATION AND TESTING: Remediation of systems found not to be Y2K
compliant. Most Cambrex systems are purchased third party packages and
therefore are typically upgraded, replaced or retired.
CONTINGENCY PLANS: Development of plans to perform alternate activities
or steps for critical systems or for systems that will not be Y2K
compliant by January 1, 2000.
An estimate of completion for these steps is as follows:
<TABLE>

Implementation and Testing............. 80% 90% 100%

</TABLE>
The Company approaches its Y2K compliance issue by categorizing its dependencies
into two sections: Internal systems (Information Technology ("IT") systems and
Non-IT systems), and External systems of suppliers and customers. Generally,
internal systems identified as non-Y2K compliant will be replaced or modified
(reprogrammed, upgraded, etc.). Many of the internal non-compliant systems were
targeted for replacement for reasons other than Y2K issues as the benefits of
newer technology had already created an economic business case for action.
Replacement solution costs will be capitalized as permitted by applicable
accounting standards whereas the cost of modification solutions will generally
be expensed as repairs. External systems will be monitored with the cooperation
of our suppliers and customers.
18
<PAGE> 20
YEAR 2000 UPDATE (CONTINUED)
Internal Systems
a) IT systems - These systems include internal applications software such as
finance, manufacturing (purchasing, product costing, production reporting,
maintenance, and planning and scheduling) and logistics (distribution planning
and customer order entry). All internal IT systems have been inventoried and
assessed and remediated where necessary for Y2K compliance and are now being
tested. The Company anticipates its internal IT will be Y2K compliant by the end
of 1999.
b) Non-IT systems - These systems are used for process monitoring and control,
laboratory measurement and analysis, waste treatment control, and in other plant
operations. These systems include embedded chip technology such as programmable
logic controllers and related hardware/software; and personal computers and
related software. All internal non-IT systems have been inventoried and assessed
for Y2K compliance and those which require modification will be remediated by
the end of the third quarter 1999.
External systems
External systems include systems of customers and suppliers. The Company is in
the process of understanding the extent to which it is vulnerable to the Y2K
issues of its customers and suppliers. The Company has identified and contacted
third parties whose systems would have a significant negative impact on
operations if not Y2K compliant, and is in the process of assessing the systems
of these third parties. The Company has completed its assessment and expects to
have developed requisite action plans with respect to these findings by the end
of the third quarter 1999.
The Company will also develop contingency plans during the third and fourth
quarters of 1999 for all critical systems and key suppliers in the event an
internal or external system, that is believed to be compliant, fails.
The dates on which the Company plans to complete any necessary Y2K modifications
are based on management's best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous
assumptions of future events, including the continued availability of certain
resources, third-party modification plans and other factors. The Company
believes its most reasonably likely worst case scenario in the event of the
failure to correct a material Y2K compliance problem, internal or external,
could result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. While management is not aware of such problems, such
failures, if they occur, could have a material adverse impact on the operations
of the Company. The Company believes that with the implementation of a new
business systems and completion of the Y2K project as scheduled, the possibility
of significant interruptions of normal operations will be reduced.
19
<PAGE> 21
YEAR 2000 UPDATE (CONTINUED)
The Company expects the costs directly associated with its Y2K efforts to
approximate $8,500 of which approximately $8,150 has been spent to date. The
cost estimates do not include additional costs that may be incurred as a result
of the failure of third parties to become Y2K compliant or costs to implement
any contingency plans.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
