ITEM 1

         BUSINESS

BACKGROUND

         The Company was organized during 1989 to develop and commercialize
certain proprietary compound encapsulation technologies. Following several years
of continued developmental efforts, the Company was able to secure patents on
several aspects of its technologies in the United States and Europe, introduce
branded products in certain markets and develop strategic associations with
pharmaceutical companies.

         From inception through 1994, the Company remained in the development
stage while experiencing substantial losses. Its principal source of capital was
derived from a series of private financing transactions and an initial public
offering in 1990. Sales revenues during this period were insufficient to offset
the Company's operating costs and liabilities. Consequently, the Company filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa
Division on November 30, 1994. Upon successfully reorganizing its operations and
finances, the Company emerged from bankruptcy in July 1996.

         In July 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000
newly-designated and issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock") to Fountain Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), a Wyoming limited
liability company, controlled by Joseph S. Schuchert, Jr. As a result of this
private placement (the "Private Placement"), the Company obtained additional
working capital of $2.5 million, which it utilized to enhance the expansion of
the Company's sales and marketing program, as well as to further the Company's
research and development efforts. As a result of significant increases in
marketing costs associated with the expansion of existing product lines and the
introduction of new products during fiscal 1998, which were not offset by sales
revenues during the period, the Company substantially utilized its working
capital resources. In order to provide working capital, the Company entered into
a secured credit arrangement with Mr. Schuchert as of December 31, 1998. The
credit agreement provides for a two-year line of credit of up to $1,500,000
subject to the Company satisfying certain agreed upon quarterly operating budget
guidelines. As a result of additional costs associated with the development and
marketing of two new product lines during fiscal 1999, the Company fully
utilized the $1,500,000 line of credit. In order to maintain current operations
subsequent to fiscal 1999, the Company obtained short term unsecured loans from
its President, Mr. Gerald Simmons and Mr. John C. Walsh, a director of the
Company. During the first quarter of fiscal 2000 Mr. Schuchert made advances to
the Company as an additional unsecured demand loan, the terms of which have not
been finalized. As of December 22, 1999, the outstanding principal balance of
this demand loan was $410,000. While Mr. Schuchert has indicated that he may
provide the Company with a line of credit of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate,
the Company has not entered into any written commitment or loan agreement with
Mr. Schuchert to that effect. There can be no assurances that an agreement with
Mr. Schuchert will be obtained, or if obtained that the terms of such financing
will be advantageous to the Company. If the Company does not secure additional
financing in the


                                       4
<PAGE>   5
immediate term the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern and
will suspend operations. The Company intends to continue to seek additional
sources of capital, including debt and equity financing. However, there can be
no assurances that such financing will be available or that it will be available
upon terms advantageous to the Company. See "ITEM 6 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND
ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES."

         THE TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATIONS

         The Company's base of proprietary technologies involves the creation of
compound encapsulation and delivery systems of subcellular size designated by
the Company as "Solvent Dilution MicroCarriers" ("SDMCs"). SDMCs are microscopic
man-made spheres that can be engineered to entrap pharmaceuticals or other
biologically active molecules.

         These technologies are intended to enable the Company to create SDMC
formulations with defined biochemical and biological properties which are
designed to permit the production of stable delivery systems. The SDMCs are
intended to provide enhanced compound delivery through entrapment and
encapsulation of a wide variety of compounds or chemical formulations which are
designed to be released in a manner that should enhance localized delivery. Once
the contents of the SDMC are released, the constituent materials used to form
the micro-carriers are utilized by living cells and degraded. The SDMCs are
principally intended for use in connection with dermal applications,
solubilization of compounds, parenteral and oral formulations and
non-pressurized aerosol preparations.

         Since inception, the Company's focus has been upon the creation of new
proprietary products through the application of its encapsulation technologies
to existing compounds, thereby in the process creating a new and enhanced
product which offers advantages over a non-encapsulated format. The Company has
also undertaken test encapsulations on products that are proprietary to other
companies with the goal of securing appropriate licensing or other joint venture
arrangements for such products.

         The Company has developed a number of proprietary products utilizing
its SDMC technologies. These include non-regulated consumer goods and
dermatologic products consisting of sunscreens, lotions and moisturizers. These
products have been marketed by the Company under the LyphaZome(R), Celazome(TM),
Octazome(R) and Daylong(R) names and under other proprietary names of licensees.
The Company currently markets its products under LyphaZome(R) and as well as
under other proprietary names of licensees. The Company recently introduced a
line of skin care products under the Celazome(TM) name. During fiscal 1999 the
Company discontinued the Octazome(R) and Daylong(R) name product lines.

         The Company has also in the past pursued the development of other
non-regulated products for use in a variety of applications as well as other
proprietary products that are subject to FDA regulation, such as certain burn
care compounds, vaccines and topical steroids.

         The Company will continue to pursue collaborative efforts with other
companies to develop additional regulated compounds.


                                       5

         BUSINESS STRATEGY

         The Company's principal business goal in the immediate term is to
obtain sufficient capital to continue operations. Provided that the Company is
able to secure additional capital necessary to fund operations beyond the near
term, the Company intends to continue to leverage the strengths of its SDMC
technology to develop products for the following key business sectors:

- -    Continue to expand the Company's OTC (Over the Counter) sunscreen franchise
     by expanding its distribution base to physicians and developing innovative
     new products in this category.

- -    Aggressively develop new products that may be candidates for entry into the
     expanding cosmeceutical product sector. (A "cosmeceutical" is generally
     defined as a product that has biological activity, but is not regulated as
     a drug by the FDA).

- -    Continue to pursue clinical investigation of existing pharmaceutical
     compounds that may be administered to humans more efficiently and
     potentially with less side effects utilizing the Company's patented SDMC
     technology.

- -    Continue to expand OTC, cosmecutical and prescription products through its
     international strategic partner relationships.

- -    The Company will pursue joint venture, merger and acquisition candidates to
     expand its business base. However, there can be no assurances that any such
     transactions will be successfully completed by the Company.

         Immediate term operation of the Company and the execution of any of the
Company's expansion plans will require additional sources of financing beyond
the current resources of the Company. Management is actively pursuing additional
sources of financing. However, there can be no assurances to that such financing
will be available or that it will be available upon terms advantageous to the
Company. See "ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION
- - LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES."

         Additionally, the Company will continue to pursue arrangements with
third parties whereby the Company can expand its markets and the costs of
marketing and distribution of its products are not borne by the Company.
Generally, in its licensing arrangements, the Company provides the raw materials
or finished product for distribution and sale by the third party licensee. The
licensee remains responsible for all marketing and sales efforts.

         On a case by case basis in the United States, the Company will
determine its interest in collaborative arrangements with larger pharmaceutical
companies in the advancement of new regulated products through the approval
process and into the marketplace. In general, for international approvals and
marketing, the Company intends to rely on such larger organizations.

         Currently, the Company principally licenses and supplies moisturizers
and sunscreen products through its licensing arrangements with pharmaceutical
companies. See "SALES AND MARKETING." While the Company's sales currently focus
upon its line of sunscreen and moisturizer products, management believes that
provided that the Company is able to obtain sufficient financing to continue


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
operation beyond the near term, expansion of the Company's licensing
arrangements and the scope of product development activities may offer marketing
opportunities for additional consumer products. However, there can be no
assurances to that effect.

         SALES AND MARKETING

         From inception through 1994, the Company had undertaken its marketing
activities principally through the efforts of management and independent sales
and marketing consultants who initiated sales efforts with certain retail
department stores, hospitals and health care institutions, retail pharmaceutical
chains and scientific organizations. However, over the past five years, in view
of the Company's limited financial resources, it has focused its principal
marketing efforts on the sale of products through licensing arrangements with
certain pharmaceutical companies. Management believes that these licensing
arrangements have offered significant marketing opportunities without imposing
material operating expenses upon the Company, and that these types of
arrangements should be expanded.

         The Company has three principal licensing arrangements with major
European licensees. Under such arrangements the Company realizes revenues from
the sale of products to the licensees who act as distributors and from royalties
which are earned as the result of subsequent sales of these products by such
licensees. Of its licensees, Spirig AG and Nycomed Pharma AS represent in the
aggregate more than 86% of the Company's revenues. The Nycomed Pharma AS license
covers markets in Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg. Spirig AG is
the Company's licensee for Switzerland, Germany and certain markets in Eastern
Europe.

         The Company also markets its products directly to professionals,
including physicians, podiatrists and aestheticians, and the consumer market
through its in-house sales staff. During fiscal 1999 direct sales represented
approximately 11.5% of the Company total revenues. During the first quarter of
fiscal 2000, the Company launched a new line of skin care products under the
Celazome(TM) name. Given the limited financial resources of the Company, the
Company intends to curtail its marketing efforts in the immediate term pending
the securing of additional financing to continue operations.

GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS

         The Company had undertaken the development of a number of products
which incorporate its SDMC technologies in regulated fields. These products
remain in various stages of development, from preliminary laboratory research,
pre-clinical testing to human clinical testing and are being considered for
further developmental efforts by the Company to the extent additional funds are
available, or with the collaboration of a corporate sponsor or joint venture
participant.

         Regulation by governmental authorities in the United States and other
countries is a significant factor in the production and marketing of regulated
products. In order to clinically test, produce and market products for human
therapeutic use, mandatory procedures and safety standards established by the
FDA and comparable agencies in foreign countries must be followed. The procedure
for seeking and obtaining the required governmental approvals for a new product
in a regulated field involves many steps, including animal testing to determine
safety, efficacy and potential toxicity and, eventually, clinical testing on
humans which is likely to continue several years and involves the expenditure of
substantial resources.


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
         Certain of the products previously developed or targeted for
development by the Company are largely unregulated and do not require any
regulatory approvals or filings with any regulatory agencies. This principally
entails the Company's moisturizer products. Certain other products of the
Company are regulated as over-the-counter drugs. These products are required to
receive additional testing for stability purposes and must consist of "approved
materials." These products are subject to stringent recordkeeping requirements.
However, no filing or pre-approval process with any regulatory agency must be
complied with in connection with these products.

PATENTS AND PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY

         The Company has obtained and is continuing to actively pursue patent
protection for certain component elements of its proprietary encapsulation
technologies, both in the United States and abroad.

         The Company has obtained patents for its novel method for making
lipid-based carrier vehicles or "SDMCs": U.S. Patent 5,133,965 issued on July
28, 1992, and U.S. Patent 5,269,979 issued on December 14, 1993. These patents
relate to unique methodology for making relatively small-sized, homogenous
populations of lipid-based carrier vehicles. A shelf-stable precursor solution
containing a drug or other substance can be converted into the vehicles by
simple aerosolization or dilution with water. The precursor solution can also be
dried onto a surface, such as a bandage material, and rehydrated upon contact
with fluids at the wound site to deliver medicaments to the wound. Counterpart
patents have issued in Australia, Canada, Norway, Israel, Spain and EPC
(European Patent Convention). The European patent was validated in Austria,
Belgium, France, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Sweden,
and Switzerland-Liechtenstein. The Company has counterpart applications in
Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The granting fees have been paid in Singapore,
and issuance is expected in the near future.

         The Company is pursuing additional patent coverage in the United States
on other aspects of its SDMC technology. This application relates to
shelf-stable precursor solutions U.S. Patent 5,879,703 issued on March 9, 1999.
Counterpart patent has been granted in Australia. The Company has counterpart
applications pending in Canada, the EPC, Hong Kong, Japan, and Singapore.

         Obtaining patents on the pending applications will add to the Company's
patent portfolio and will strengthen the Company's position with regard to
competitor's efforts to design around the Company's existing patents. Although
the Company continues to believe the pending applications contain patentable
claims, there is no assurance that the respective Patent Offices will ultimately
grant these claims. Further, there are no assurances that the Company's issued
patents will not be designed around, infringed upon, or successfully challenged
by others in litigation. No assurance can be given that the Company will have
sufficient resources to either institute or defend any action by or against the
Company with respect to such patents. While the Company believes that the
protection afforded by a patent would be important to its business, the Company
would continue operations by relying upon trade-secrets, know-how and continuing
technological advancements in order to maintain its competitive position. Trade
secret protection, however, may be limited by foreign publication of the patent
application and by the issuance of the patents mentioned above.

         There can be no assurance the patents the Company may obtain will
afford the Company commercially significant protection of its proprietary
technology, provide the Company with any significant competitive advantages, or
that challenges will not be instituted against the validity or


                                       8
<PAGE>   9
enforceability of such patents, or if instituted that any such challenges will
not be successful. The cost of litigation to uphold the validity and prevent
infringement of a patent can be substantial. In addition, no assurance can be
given that the Company will have sufficient resources to either institute or
defend any action, suit or other proceeding by or against the Company with
respect to any claimed infringement of a patent or other proprietary rights. In
the event that the Company shall in the near future lose the protection afforded
by a patent, such event could have material adverse effect on the Company's
operations. There can be no assurance that the Company's technologies will not
infringe patents or other rights owned by others, license to which may not be
available to the Company.

COMPETITION

         Competition for the development and sale of non-regulated
pharmaceutical and consumer goods products is intense. The Company and its
licensees will be competing against consumer goods and other companies that have
substantial resources and are well positioned to subsidize the cost of product
development, establish distribution channels, develop marketing plans and hire
sales persons. Notwithstanding that management believes that the Company's
encapsulated products provide benefits over existing products, there can be no
assurances that the Company's marketing and sales efforts, either directly or
through licensees, will be successful in light of such intense competition.

         Competition in the drug delivery and microencapsulation industries is
based upon such factors as safety of products, competitive product advantages,
performance, ease of application, acceptance by ultimate consumers and health
care professionals, and the marketing and distribution of products. The
Company's competitive position will be based upon the development of alternative
approaches using new or improved formulations to accomplish desired results.
Existing alternatives to the Company's technologies include conventional
formulations for compounds, biodegradable polymeric systems and liposomes.
Application of the Company's technologies to certain products remains in an
early phase of development and no assurances can be given that any of the
Company's potential products will gain sufficient competitive advantages to
generate meaningful commercial demands.

         The Company will be competing in an area in which there is potential
for extensive technological innovation in a relatively short period of time.
Competition will be based upon the Company's ability to commercialize
technological developments.

         Other public and private companies are engaged directly or indirectly
in drug encapsulation and drug delivery research activities both for therapeutic
and consumer goods applications. Many of these companies have substantially
greater financial and technical resources than the Company. There can be no
assurances that the Company's competitors will not succeed in developing
products which are more effective or safer than those to be developed by the
Company, or that such competitors may obtain government approval in less time
than the Company.

HUMAN RESOURCES

         The Company conducts its operations and implements its business
strategy through the use of employees and consultants engaged as independent
contractors. Consultants are generally engaged to assist in scientific matters
or in connection with sales and marketing endeavors.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
         As of December 22, 1999, the Company employed twenty (20) persons
including its chief executive officer, a vice president of operations, a
director of finance and administration, a technical director, an aesthetic
marketing and sales director, warehouse, sales and administrative personnel.

RISK FACTORS

         IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS 10-KSB, YOU
SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING RISK FACTORS. MANAGEMENT BELIEVES THAT
THE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES DESCRIBED BELOW COMPRISE MANY OF THE MATERIAL RISKS
AND UNCERTAINTIES FACING THE COMPANY. HOWEVER, ADDITIONAL RISKS AND
UNCERTAINTIES MAY ALSO HARM ITS BUSINESS OPERATIONS.

THE COMPANY'S VIABILITY AS A GOING CONCERN IS IN DOUBT.

         The Company has suffered recurring loses from operations and as of the
date of this 10-KSB has a net capital deficiency. Based upon its present
operating expenses, taking into account available cash reserves and marketable
securities, the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern beyond
the immediate term without an infusion of additional capital to fund operations.
Thus, the continued operations of the Company are wholly dependent upon its
ability to generate material sales revenues or secure other sources of debt or
equity financing, as to which there can be no assurances. Even if the Company
obtains additional working capital in the immediate term, to the extent
operating expenses increase in the future, which may be likely given the
Company's present business strategy, the need for additional funding may be
accelerated. This opinion results, in part from the fact that at the time the
financial statements were issued, the Company did not have sufficient liquidity
to meet its projected cash obligations beyond the immediate term. Thus, the
Company believes that, without additional financing, it will not have sufficient
liquidity to meet its cash obligations as they become due in the immediate term
without significant additional working capital.

LIMITED MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON STOCK INCREASES THE POSSIBLE VOLATILITY
OF THE COMPANY'S STOCK PRICES AND THE VALUE OF ANY INVESTMENT IN THE COMPANY'S
EQUITY MAY BE REDUCED.

         The public trading market for shares of the Company's Common Stock is
limited on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our directors, officers and principal
stockholders hold over 52% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Company which
has reduced the supply of shares eligible for public resale and reduced the
trading market for the Company's Common Stock. There can be no assurances that
an active trading market for the Company's Common Stock will be developed or be
sustained. By its very nature, trading on the OTC Bulletin Board provides only
limited market liquidity. In addition, the stock markets generally have
experienced, and continue to experience, extreme price and volume fluctuations
which have affected the market price of many small cap companies and which have
often been unrelated to the operating performance of these companies. These
broad market fluctuations, as well as general economic and political conditions,
may adversely affect the market price of the Company's Common Stock.

THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE COMPANY'S BUSINESS STRATEGY IS DEPENDENT
UPON MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

         The Company's operations are dependent upon the continued services of
senior management and upon the Company's ability to hire and retain qualified
management and technical personnel. The loss of services of any of those
executive officers or other management or personnel, whether as a result of
death, disability or otherwise, would have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT BENEFICIALLY OWNS A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF THE COMPANY'S
COMMON STOCK AND THEREFORE HAS SIGNIFICANT INFLUENCE OVER THE ELECTION OF
DIRECTORS.

         Our officers, directors and principal stockholders own approximately
82.6% of the Common Stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis. See Item 11 -
"SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT." In addition,
prior to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holder is entitled
to the number of votes cast by the holders of outstanding Common Stock, plus
seven (7) votes. Consequently, upon exercise of their vested options and
warrants and by virtue of Delaware law, these stockholders are in a position to
elect all of our directors and possibly control the outcome of other corporate
matters without the approval of our other stockholders. In addition, applicable
statutory provisions and the ability of the Board of Directors to issue one or
more series of Preferred Stock without stockholder approval could deter or delay
unsolicited changes in control of the Company by discouraging open market
purchases of our stock or a non-negotiated tender or exchange offer for such
stock, which may be disadvantageous to our stockholders who may otherwise desire
to participate in such a transaction and receive a premium or their shares.

THE COMPANY HAS A POTENTIAL NEED FOR COLLABORATION WITH CORPORATE SPONSORS.

         Based upon available information, it is likely that substantial
expenditures will be required in order for the Company to conduct further
research and development, testing, manufacturing and marketing of certain
products which utilize its SDMC technologies. In the absence of material
revenues from the sale of certain of the Company's non-regulated products and in
recognition of the limited resources presently available to the Company, the
Company may seek the collaboration of a corporate sponsor or joint venture
participant in order to provide funding to subsidize such expenditures. There
can be no assurances that the Company will locate or obtain the collaboration of
any such corporate sponsor or joint venture participant. In the event such
corporate collaboration cannot be obtained, the Company may not have sufficient
funding, or wish to allocate a substantial portion of its limited financial
resources in order to continue such development efforts. In the event, however,
that such sponsorship or participation is obtained, the Company will, most
likely, be required to provide such corporate sponsor or joint venture
participant with a significant interest in the Company, the development of its
products, its potential profits upon the development of any potential products
or the exclusive rights to manufacture, license, market and/or sell any such
products. In this event, the ability of the Company to fully exploit the profits
potentially available upon the commercialization of its technologies may be
significantly limited.

COMPETITION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT AND SALE OF NON-REGULATED SKIN CARE AND CONSUMER
GOODS PRODUCTS IS INTENSE.

         There are many companies, both public and private, including well-known
pharmaceutical and consumer goods companies, that have developed products that
have attained significant consumer acceptance for extended periods of time,
thereby making competition in these fields extremely difficult. The Company will
also be subject to significant competitive pressures in connection with the
development and sale of regulated products. There are also many companies, both
public and private, including well known pharmaceutical companies that have
developed compound delivery systems based upon other technologies, as well as
technologies similar to that of the Company. Although it is management's opinion
that these systems do not demonstrate the benefits of SDMC encapsulation, the
state of the art is still in its developmental stages, thus, there can be no
assurances that the Company's technologies will attain any material commercial
success. Many of the companies with whom the Company competes have substantially
greater financial and technical resources and production and marketing
capabilities than the Company, for both regulated and non-regulated products.
Many of these companies have significantly greater experience than the Company
in the development, marketing, sale and distribution of new products, as well as
the implementation of pre-clinical testing and human trials of new or improved
pharmaceutical products, or in obtaining the approval of FDA or other regulatory
authorities. It is possible that the Company's competitors may succeed in
developing products that are safer or more effective than those of the Company,
and in obtaining approval of FDA for such products.

THE FURTHER DEVELOPMENT, PRODUCTION, TESTING, MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING OF
PRODUCTS IN REGULATED FIELDS WHICH INCORPORATE SDMC FORMULATIONS MAY REQUIRE
REGULATORY REVIEW AND/OR APPROVAL OF THE FDA AND COMPARABLE AGENCIES IN OTHER
COUNTRIES.

         The nature and extent of regulation may differ with respect to
different products. Given our limited capital resources, we are not currently
pursuing products which require FDA approval. However, in the event that we are
able to secure financing adequate to pursue production of regulated products,
the testing and regulatory pre-market approval process ("PMA") involves rigorous
pre-clinical and clinical testing and approval by FDA and other comparable
agencies and usually takes several years and requires the expenditure of
substantial resources, for which the Company may seek third party collaboration.
There can be no assurance that regulatory approvals will be obtained for any of
the intended applications of the Company's proposed technologies, once
developed. A significant portion of the Company's available reserves may be used
for continuing research and development of the Company's technologies. These
expenditures will be made without any assurance that approvals will be obtained
and before it can be ascertained whether any of the regulated products proposed
to be developed by the Company can be commercialized. The inability to obtain,
or delays in obtaining, such approvals would materially adversely affect the
Company's ability to commence marketing any regulated products developed by
application of its technologies. The Company currently markets certain products
pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. If the Company markets
products that FDA does not consider to be "substantially equivalent" to an
appropriate previously marketed product, FDA will require approval pursuant to
the more burdensome PMA process. Furthermore, the Company cannot predict whether
there will be, or the extent of, any potentially adverse government regulations
or administrative actions which may arise in the future.

THE COMPANY IS ENGAGED IN A FIELD INCREASINGLY CHARACTERIZED BY EXTENSIVE
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.

New developments in lipid and liposome research as well as alternative
drug-delivery systems and other pharmaceutical products are expected to continue
at a rapid pace. Developments by others could render the Company's technology
obsolete or not competitive. The Company's success will depend, in part, upon
its ability to achieve and maintain a competitive position with respect to those
technologies.

THE CLINICAL TESTING, MANUFACTURING AND MARKETING OF THE COMPANY'S SDMC
FORMULATIONS, OR PRODUCTS WHICH INCORPORATE SUCH FORMULATIONS, WILL LIKELY
ENTAIL CERTAIN RISKS OF PRODUCTS LIABILITY.

Although the Company has presently secured products liability insurance, there
can be no assurances that such coverage will continue to be available in the
future or that the present amount and scope of any coverage will be adequate to
protect the Company in the event of a successful product liability claim.

THE COMPANY POTENTIALLY HAS EXPOSURE TO THE YEAR 2000 PROBLEM.

The Company utilizes electronic technology which includes computer hardware and
software systems that process information and perform calculations that are
date- and time-dependent. The coming of the year 2000, the so-called Year 2000
problem, poses pervasive and complex problems. Virtually every computer
operation, including manufacturing equipment and other non-information systems
equipment, unless it is Year 2000 compliant, will be affected in some way by the
rollover of the two-digit year value from "99" to "00" and the recognition by
some electronic technology of "00" as the year 1900 rather than 2000. The
Company may not only be negatively affected by the failure of its own systems to
be Year 2000 compliant, but may also be negatively affected by the Year 2000
non-compliance of its vendors, customers, lenders and any other party with which
it transacts business.

Its failure or the failure of any party with which it conducts business to be
Year 2000 compliant in a timely manner could have a material adverse impact on
its operations. If its systems or the systems of its significant vendors,
customers, lenders and other outside parties with which it transacts business
were to fail because they were not Year 2000 compliant, it would incur
significant costs and inefficiencies. Due to general uncertainty inherent in the
Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000
readiness of third parties, it cannot be sure that it will be able to resolve
problems associated with the Year 2000 issue in a timely and cost effective
manner. Its inability to do so may adversely affect its operations and business,
or expose us to third-party liability.

ITEM 2

         PROPERTIES

         The Company owns no real property. The Company leases approximately
8,404 square feet of office, laboratory, production and warehouse facilities
located in Largo, Florida. The lease, dated December 18, 1997 as amended March
20, 1998, provides for a monthly rental of $6,950 for a term of five years,
ending December 31, 2003. In addition, the Company sub-leases an approximately
2,670 square feet warehouse facility next to its offices. This lease dated March
30, 1999, provides for a month rental of $1,613 for a term of 1 year ending
March 30, 2000. These facilities are adequate for the Company's current and
foreseeable needs.

ITEM 3

         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         In March 1999, the Company settled out of court its claim against
Dermik Laboratories, Inc. and its parent company, Rohone-Poulene Rorer, for the
cancellation of a previous distribution agreement. As a result of this
settlement, the Company and Dermik Laboratories, Inc. have met several times to
investigate programs of mutual interest, including potential applications of the
Company's patented LyphaZome(R) drug delivery technology. Both companies plan to
continue discussion in the future but there are no assurances to that affect.

ITEM 4

         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         On July 1, 1999, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission an Information Statement notifying the stockholders that the 1998
Stock Options Plan was approved by written consent of the holder of 1,251,100
shares (52.2%) of the outstanding Common Stock and the holder of all of the
Preferred Stock as permitted under Section 228 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The approval of the 1998 Plan by the stockholders of the
Company became effective July 21, 1999.

MARKET FOR THE COMPANY'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

         A.       MARKET INFORMATION

                  The Company's Common Stock presently trades on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "FPHI". Until May 31, 1994, the Company's Units,
Common Stock, Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants were listed on the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System ("NASDAQ").

         Effective May 31, 1994, the Company's securities were delisted from The
NASDAQ SmallCap Market(SM) because, as a result of declining equity and assets,
the Company no longer satisfied the quantitative listing standards required for
continued listing. During May 1995, the Company's Units, and Class A and Class B
Warrants expired.

         The following table sets forth certain information with respect to the
high and low market prices of the Company's Common Stock for the fiscal years
ended September 30, 1998 and 1999, and for the first quarter of its fiscal year
ending September 30, 2000. No trading market exists for shares of the Company's
Class B Common Stock.

         B.       REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

                  In order to facilitate the conversion of the Company's
Preferred Stock and to enhance the market price and liquidity of the Company's
Common Stock, the Company effectuated a one for twenty reverse stock split,
specifically, a conversion of every twenty issued and outstanding shares into
one share of the same class of Common Stock as of December 11, 1997 (the
"Reverse Stock Split"). As of December 22, 1999, the Company had 2,380,301
shares of Common Stock outstanding.

         C.       HOLDERS

                  Records of the Company's stock transfer agent indicate that as
of December 22, 1999, the Company had 441 record holders of its Class B Common
Stock and Common Stock. Since a significant number of the shares of the Company
are held by financial institutions in "street name," it is likely that the
Company has significantly more stockholders than indicated above. The Company
estimates that it has approximately 2,005 record holders, including such shares
held in "street name."

         D.       DIVIDENDS

                  The Company has not paid any cash dividends, to date, and does
not anticipate or contemplate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
It is the present intention of management to utilize all available funds for
working capital of the Company.

ITEM 6

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

BACKGROUND

         The Company was organized during 1989 to develop and commercialize
certain proprietary compound encapsulation technologies. Following several years
of continued developmental efforts, the Company was able to secure patents on
several aspects of its technologies in the United States and Europe, introduce
branded products in certain markets and develop strategic associations with
pharmaceutical companies.

         From inception through 1994, the Company remained in the development
stage while experiencing substantial losses. Its principal source of capital was
derived from a series of private financing transactions and an initial public
offering in 1990. Sales revenues during this period were insufficient to offset
the Company's operating costs and liabilities. Consequently, the Company filed
for protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa
Division on November 30, 1994. Upon successfully reorganizing its operations and
finances, the Company emerged from bankruptcy in July 1996.

         In July 1997, the Company completed a private placement of 2,000,000
newly-designated and issued shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"Preferred Stock") to Fountain Holdings, LLC ("Holdings"), a Wyoming limited
liability company, controlled by Joseph S. Schuchert, Jr. See "ITEM 11 -
SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND


                                       16
<PAGE>   17
MANAGEMENT." As a result of this private placement (the "Private Placement"),
the Company obtained additional working capital of $2.5 million, which it
utilized to enhance the expansion of the Company's sales and marketing program,
as well as to further the Company's research and development efforts. As a
result of significant increases in marketing costs associated with the expansion
of existing product lines and the introduction of new products during fiscal
1998, which were not offset by sales revenues during the period, the Company
substantially utilized its working capital resources. In order to provide
working capital, the Company entered into a secured credit arrangement with Mr.
Schuchert as of December 31, 1998. The credit agreement provides for a two-year
line of credit of up to $1,500,000 subject to the Company satisfying certain
agreed upon quarterly operating budget guidelines. As a result of additional
costs associated with the development and marketing of two new product lines
during fiscal 1999, the Company fully utilized the $1,500,000 line of credit. In
order to maintain current operations subsequent to fiscal 1999, the Company
obtained short term unsecured loans from its President, Mr. Gerald Simmons and
Mr. John C. Walsh, a director of the Company. During the first quarter of fiscal
2000 Mr. Schuchert made advances to the Company as an additional unsecured
demand loan, the terms of which have not been finalized. As of December 22,
1999, the outstanding principal balance of this demand loan was $410,000. While
Mr. Schuchert has indicated that he may provide the Company with a line of
credit of up to $1,000,000 in the aggregate, the Company has not entered into
any written commitment or loan agreement with Mr. Schuchert to that effect.
There can be no assurances that an agreement with Mr. Schuchert will be
obtained, or if obtained that the terms of such financing will be advantageous
to the Company. If the Company does not secure additional financing in the
immediate term the Company will not be able to continue as a going concern and
will suspend operations pending such financing. The Company intends to continue
to seek additional sources of capital, including debt and equity financing.
However, there can be no assurances that such financing will be available or
that it will be available upon terms advantageous to the Company. See "ITEM 6 -
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION - LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES."

         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the Company realized a
net loss of $1,734,517 on revenues of $2,210,771, compared to a net loss of
$1,629,141 on revenues of $1,542,868 for the fiscal year ended September 30,
1998. This increase in net losses is attributable primarily to expenses relating
to increased sales and marketing efforts in connection with the Company's new
skin care brand, Celazome(TM), which was launched in October 1999 in the
aesthetician market, clinical research studies, interest expense on a secured
line of credit arrangement with Mr. Joseph S. Schuchert, Jr. and legal fees
relating to the Dermik Laboratories, Inc. lawsuit. See "ITEM 3 - LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS."

         Revenues for fiscal 1999 of $2,210,771 represented an increase of
$667,903 or 43.3% from revenues of $1,542,868 during fiscal 1998. The increase
in revenues was a result, primarily, of the introduction of a new ultra
sunscreen containing Parsol 1789 in northern Europe, telemarketing efforts of
the Company's LyphaZome(R) brand to the podiatrists' market and the introduction
of a new pediatric sunscreen and a sunscreen containing Parsol 1789 in the
Company's LyphaZome(R) brand to the professional market.


                                       17
<PAGE>   18
         During the fiscal year ended September 30, 1999, the Company incurred
operating expenses of $2,839,641, a 19.9% increase over operating expenses of
$2,367,857 for the prior year ending September 30, 1998. This increase in
expenses was primarily due to increased sales and marketing efforts relating to
existing and new markets, research and development relating to new projects and
formulations, and legal fees relating to Dermik Laboratories, Inc. lawsuit.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         From inception through the quarter ended June 30, 1994, the Company's
principal sources of working capital were derived from a series of private
financing transactions and an initial public offering in 1990. As a result of
the Company's declining equity and assets, the Company's securities were
delisted from The NASDAQ SmallCap Market(SM) during May 1994 and the securities
have since traded on the less liquid market of the OTC Bulletin Board.

         During the period from the quarter ended June 30, 1994 throughout the
bankruptcy proceedings, the Company's operations were funded primarily through
sales of products and from royalties, as well as the sale of 25,000,000 shares
(pre-split) of the Company's Common Stock to its then Chief Executive Officer at
a purchase price of $250,000 in December 1995. Since emerging from bankruptcy,
the Company's primary source of working capital have been sales revenues, short
term advances from the Company's then Chief Executive Officer and proceeds of
$2.5 million generated from a private placement offering in July 1997.

         As a result of such significant increase in marketing costs and legal
fees, which were not offset by sales revenues, the Company had substantially
utilized its working capital resources by December 1998. In order to provide
working capital, the Company entered into a secured credit arrangement with Mr.
Schuchert as of December 31, 1998. The Credit Agreement provides for a secured
line of credit of up to $1,500,000, the principal and unpaid interest of which
is due on the earlier of December 31, 2000, 180 days from written demand of Mr.
Schuchert as lender or upon an event of default under the agreement. The line of
credit bears interest at an adjustable monthly rate equal to the greater of (i)
the prime rate quoted in the Wall Street Journal, plus 1-1/2% or (ii) 9%, which
is payable monthly or may be accrued. The facility is secured by all of the
assets of the Company (subject to any existing liens). The facility is subject
to the Company satisfying certain agreed upon quarterly operating budget
guidelines. As of December 22, 1999, the Company had $1,500,000 outstanding
under this facility plus accrued interest of $83,978 as of November 30, 1999.
The proceeds of the loan have been utilized to fund operations and to pay legal
fees in connection with the Dermik lawsuit. Under the terms of the warrant
granted in connection with the Credit Agreement, Mr. Schuchert is entitled to
purchase 1.6 shares of Common Stock for each dollar advanced under the facility
and 1.6 shares of Common Stock for each dollar of accrued interest that is
unpaid when due under the facility at an exercise price of $.65 per share with
an expiration date of December 31, 2003. As of December 22, 1999, Mr. Schuchert
is entitled to purchase an aggregate of 2,534,364 shares of Common Stock upon
the exercise of such warrant.

         As of September 30, 1999, the Company had working capital of $385,464,
a decrease of $259,740 from the level of working capital of $645,204 as of
September 30, 1998. The decrease in working capital is primarily attributable to
increased expenses associated with sales and marketing efforts relating to
existing and new markets, research and development relating to new projects and
formulations, legal fees relating to Dermik Laboratories, Inc. lawsuit and
financial software to comply


                                       18
<PAGE>   19
with Y2K. As a result of such increased expenditures, which were not offset by
sales revenues, the Company substantially utilized its working capital resources
by October 1999. In order to provide working capital in the near term, the
Company obtained short term unsecured loans, consisting of $5,000 from Mr.
Gerald T. Simmons, the Company's President, and $15,000 from John C. Walsh, a
Director of the Company. In addition, Mr. Schuchert, a Director of the Company,
made advances to the Company as an additional unsecured demand loan, the terms
of which have not been finalized. As of December 22, 1999, the outstanding
principal balance of this demand loan was $410,000. Given the limited financial
resources of the Company, the Company recently instituted a program to curtail
operating expenses pending the securing of additional financing. Based upon the
Company's current budget guidelines, management believes that the Company has
sufficient capital to enable the Company to meet its anticipated operating
expenses through January 31, 2000. If the Company does not secure additional
financing in the immediate term it will not be able to continue as a going
concern and it will suspend operations. While Mr. Schuchert has indicated that
he may provide the Company with a line of credit of up to $1,000,000 in the
aggregate, the Company has not entered into any written commitment for a loan
agreement with Mr. Schuchert to that effect. There can be no assurances that
such financing will be available or that it will be available upon terms
advantageous to the Company. Notwithstanding potential loan from Mr. Schuchert,
the Company is in the process of pursuing additional sources of capital,
including debt and equity financing. Failure to obtain such additional financing
or the earlier termination of the financing arrangements with Mr. Schuchert
would cause the Company to suspend operations.

         During fiscal 1999, the Company's other principal sources of working
capital were derived from revenues, royalties, the litigation settlement with
Dermik Laboratories, Inc., and a $100,000 line of credit from First Union
National Bank of Florida ("First Union"). The Company terminated its line of
credit in February 1999 in connection with the termination of Mr. Walsh's
personal guarantee of such line of credit.

         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

         As has been widely reported, many computer systems process dates based
on two digits for the year of a transaction and are unable to process dates in
the year 2000 and beyond. In connection with its ongoing information system
management efforts, financial and operation systems have been assessed, and
detailed plans have been developed and are being implemented to make the
necessary modifications to ensure year 2000 compliance. During July 1999, the
Company purchased software necessary to comply with Y2K. The financial impact of
making the required system changes for year 2000 compliance did not have a
material effect on the Company's financial statements.

         EFFECTS OF INFLATION

         The Company does not expect inflation to materially effect its results
of operations, however, it does expect that its operating costs and the cost of
capital equipment to be acquired in the future may be subject to general
economic and inflationary pressures.

1998 Plan, all full-time employees of the Company or its subsidiaries, including
those who are officers and directors, non-employee directors and consultants are
eligible to receive options pursuant to the 1998 Plan, if selected. Directors
and consultants are also eligible. The 1998 Plan provides for the authority to
issue options covering up to 750,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock;
provided, however, that option to purchase no more than 500,000 shares shall be
granted to any one participant.

         The 1998 Option Plan is administered by a committee of the Board of
Directors or the full Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may modify,
amend, or terminate the 1998 Plan at any time except that, to the extent then
required by applicable law, rule, or regulation, approval of the holders of a
majority of the Common Stock represented in person or by proxy at a meeting of
the shareholders will be required to increase the maximum number of shares of
Common Stock available for grant under the 1998 Plan (other than increases due
to adjustments in accordance with the 1998 Plan). No modification, amendment, or
termination of the 1998 Plan shall adversely affect the rights of a participant
under a grant previously made to him without the consent of such participant.

         As of December 22, 1999 the Company had options to purchase 735,231
shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 1998 Plan to directors and
employees at exercise prices of $.56 to .625 per share. See "EMPLOYMENT
ARRANGEMENTS AND CHANGE OF CONTROL."

                          Independent Auditors' Report

Board of Directors
Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
Largo, Florida

We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
(the "Company"), as of September 30, 1999, and the related statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

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 in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly in all
material respects, the financial position of Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc., as
of September 30, 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for
each of the years in the two-year period then ended in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations
and has a net capital deficiency which raise substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters
are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                                               /S/ AIDMAN, PISER & COMPANY, P.A.

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998



1.       NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

         Nature of business:

         Fountain Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company"), incorporated in the
         State of Delaware on March 23, 1989, was organized to develop and
         commercialize certain proprietary compound encapsulation technologies
         for use in health care, agricultural, veterinary and consumer market
         items using technologies developed privately and assigned to the
         Company. These technologies involve development of man-made spheres
         composed of soybean lipids that are engineered to entrap
         pharmaceuticals or other biologically active molecules within the
         membranes of the soybean lipids, hence a compound delivery
         encapsulation system known as "Solvent Dilution Micro Carriers"
         ("SDMC's"). The SDMC's are principally intended for use in connection
         with dermal applications, solubilization of compounds, parenteral and
         oral formulations and non-pressurized aerosol preparations. Following
         several years of continued developmental efforts, the Company was able
         to secure patents on several aspects of its technologies in the United
         States and Europe and initiate certain marketing programs.

         The Company has developed a number of proprietary products utilizing
         its SDMC technologies. These include non-regulated consumer goods and
         dermatologic products consisting of sunscreens, lotions and
         moisturizers. These products have been marketed by the Company under
         the LyphaZome(R), Celazome(TM), Octazome(R), and Daylong(R) names and
         under other proprietary names of licensees. The Octazome(R) and
         Daylong(R) lines were discontinued in 1999.

         The principal source of the Company's current revenues are from sales
         of these products to distributors and royalties which are earned as the
         result of the subsequent sale of these products by the distributors.

         Management's plans regarding liquidity and capital resources:

         During 1999 and 1998 the Company substantially increased revenues but
         has continued to experience significant losses which were primarily
         caused by substantial selling expenses for new products which did not
         generate revenues to the extent expected and high general and
         administrative expense relative to sales levels. Additionally, the
         Company has continued to experience losses through the first quarter of
         fiscal 2000 (unaudited). The Company's losses have been historically
         funded by sales of capital stock and additional capital contributions.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998


1.       NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

         Management's plans regarding liquidity and capital resources
         (continued):

         In order to provide working capital for fiscal 1999, the Company
         entered into a secured credit agreement with a director of the Company
         which provided for a two-year line of credit of up to $1,500,000
         subject to the Company satisfying certain agreed upon quarterly
         operating budget guidelines. As a result of additional costs associated
         with the development and marketing of two new product lines during
         fiscal 1999, the Company fully utilized the $1,500,000 line of credit
         and substantially all of its other cash resources. In order to maintain
         operations subsequent to September 30, 1999, the Company has obtained
         short term unsecured loans from its President and two directors of the
         Company aggregating $430,000. While one of the Company's directors has
         indicated that he may provide the Company with a line of credit of up
         to $1,000,000 in the aggregate, the Company has not entered into any
         written commitment or loan agreement to that effect. There can be no
         assurances that an agreement will be consummated or, if obtained, that
         the terms of such financing will be advantageous to the Company. If the
         Company does not secure additional financing in the immediate term the
         Company will likely not be able to continue as a going concern and will
         suspend operations pending receipt of such financing. Notwithstanding
         the potential loan from the director, the Company intends to continue
         to seek additional sources of capital, including debt and equity
         financing. However, there can be no assurances that such financing will
         be available or that it will be available upon terms advantageous to
         the Company.

         Chapter 11 reorganization:

         On November 30, 1994, the Company filed a voluntary petition for
         reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title II of the United States Code.
         The Reorganization Plan became effective on December 20, 1995 and on
         July 25, 1996 the U.S. Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree. At the
         date of the effectiveness of the Plan and thereafter, the Company
         continued to account for its assets at their historical cost basis (did
         not adopt "Fresh Start" accounting). The Company has repaid all
         prepetition liabilities (insofar as was provided for in the
         Reorganization Plan) at September 30, 1999.

         Inventories:

         Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
         determined generally on a first-in, first-out method.

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998


1.       NATURE OF BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT
         ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED):

         Property and equipment:

         Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided on
         the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets,
         which range from 3 to 7 years.

         Patent costs:

         Patent costs are deferred pending the outcome of patent applications
         including the appeals process. Successful patent costs are amortized
         over the legal life of the patent. Unsuccessful or abandoned patent
         costs are charged to expense when determined to be worthless.

         Advertising costs:

         The costs associated with producing and communicating advertising are
         expensed in the period incurred. Advertising costs were approximately
         $188,000 and $310,000 during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Cash and cash equivalents:

         For purposes of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents
         are defined as all highly liquid unrestricted investments purchased
         with an original maturity of three months or less. In addition, the
         Company considers certain secured debt instruments, which can be
         liquidated upon demand, to be cash equivalents.

         Use of estimates:

         Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         Stock-based compensation:

         The Company accounts for compensation costs associated with stock
         options and warrants issued to employees under the provisions of
         Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25") whereby
         compensation is recognized to the extent the market price of the
         underlying stock exceeds the exercise price of the option granted. The
         Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting
         Standard No. 123 - Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation ("FAS 123"),
         which requires disclosure of compensation expense that would have been
         recognized if the fair-value based method of determining compensation
         had been used for all arrangements under which employees and others
         receive shares of stock or equity instruments. Stock-based compensation
         to non-employees is accounted for using the fair value based method.

         Net loss per share:

         Net loss per share was computed based on the weighted average number of
         shares outstanding during the periods presented.

         Diluted earnings per share is considered to be the same as basic
         earnings per share since the effect of the issuance of common stock
         options is anti-dilutive.

         New accounting pronouncements:

         During 1999, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting
         Comprehensive Income" and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
         an Enterprise and Related Information."

         SFAS 130 presents standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
         income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses)
         including those currently required to be accounted for as direct
         charges or credits to the statement of stockholders' equity in a full
         set of general-purpose financial statements. Adoption of this standard
         had no significant impact on the Company. SFAS No. 131 requires that
         public companies report financial and descriptive information about its
         reportable operating segments, which are defined as those components
         that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating officer in
         determining resource allocations and performance assessments.

2.       MAJOR CUSTOMER INFORMATION, FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND
         CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK:

         Major customer information:

         During the years ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 the Company derived
         revenues from two customers which individually exceeded 10 percent of
         total revenues as follows:

</TABLE>

         Approximately 52% of accounts receivable at September 30, 1999 was due
         from two customers.

         Total export revenues were approximately as follows:

</TABLE>

         Fair value of financial instruments:

         All financial instruments are held or issued for purposes other than
         trading. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts
         receivable, and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the
         short maturity of those investments. The carrying amount of note
         payable, related party approximates the fair value based on current
         market rates offered to the Company.

         Concentrations of credit risk:

         Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to
         significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade
         accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash
         equivalents include $60,000 in variable rate demand (par put) bonds.

         The Company sells its products principally to companies in the medical
         field located primarily in Europe. Management assesses the financial
         stability of each of its major customers prior to contract negotiations
         and establishes credit limits for smaller customers to limit its risk.
         The Company does not require collateral or other security to support
         customer receivables. Because the Company sells a significant portion
         of its products and maintains individually significant receivables
         balances with major customers, if the financial condition and
         operations of these customers deteriorate below critical levels, the
         Company's operating results could be adversely affected.

3.       BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION:

         The Company has operations classified as two business segments: 1)
         domestic sales of dermatologic products, and 2) international sales of
         dermatologic products to distributors and the sale of the rights to the
         Company's technology. The "domestic" category is an aggregation of the
         LyphaZome(R), Celazome(TM), Octazome(R), and Daylong(R) product lines.
         The "all other" category relates to new business and unlaunched product
         lines that did not generate any revenue. There were no significant
         intersegment sales or transfers during 1999 or 1998.

         Summarized financial information by business segment for 1999 and 1998
         is as follows:

         potential restriction of retained earnings resulting from the
         involuntary liquidation preference of $2,498,000 in excess of par value
         of such preferred stock). The preferred shares may be converted into
         1,264,151 shares of common stock and 2,252 shares of Class B common
         stock, which equates to a conversion price of approximately $.10 per
         share, the market value per share of the common stock at the date of
         issuance of the preferred stock.

         Voting rights:

         Shareholders of common stock and Class B common stock are entitled to
         one and five votes per share, respectively. Holders of shares of Series
         A preferred stock shall be entitled to a number of votes in total that
         equal the total number of votes to be cast by holders of all then
         issued and outstanding shares of common stock and Class B common stock,
         plus seven votes in all elections of directors.

         Stock option plan:

         In December 1998, the Company adopted the "Fountain Pharmaceuticals,
         Inc. 1998 Stock Option Plan" (the "Plan"). Nonqualified and incentive
         stock options may be granted under the 1998 Plan. The term of options
         granted under the Plan will be fixed by the Plan Administrator
         provided, however, that the maximum option term may not exceed 10 years
         from the grant date and the exercise price per share may not be less
         than the fair market value per share of the common stock on the grant
         date. Under the 1998 Plan, all full-time employees of the Company or
         its subsidiaries, including those who are officers and directors are
         eligible to receive options pursuant to the Plan, if selected.
         Non-employee directors and consultants will also be eligible. The Plan
         will provide for the authority to issue options covering up to 750,000
         shares of the Company's common stock; provided, however, that options
         to purchase no more than 500,000 shares shall be granted to any one
         participant.

         Common stock options and warrants:

         In 1999, the Company issued options and warrants to purchase 3,223,181
         shares of common stock to its existing officers, directors and
         employees. The Company recognized compensation expense to non-employee
         directors of approximately $21,000 in 1999 associated with the issuance
         of 2,664,103 of these options and warrants. The fair value of the
         balance of 559,078 options and warrants, which were issued to employees
         in 1999, was nominal as determined using the "Black-Scholes"
         option-pricing model.

                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999 AND 1998


10.      INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED):


         (a)      Under Section 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code of
                  1986, if an ownership change occurs with respect to a "loss
                  corporation", as defined, there are annual limitations on the
                  amount of net operating loss and research and development tax
                  credit carryovers which are available to the Company. The
                  taxable income of a loss corporation for any tax year ending
                  after an ownership change may be offset by pre-change loss
                  carryovers only to the extent of the section 382 and 383
                  limitation for that year. Events occurred in 1996 which
                  created an ownership change in excess of fifty percent for
                  income tax purposes; therefore, the Company believes that the
                  availability of the pre-change net operating loss carryover
                  $(12,700,000) and research and development credit carryover
                  $(250,000) will be substantially limited in the future and, as
                  such, the Company has previously accounted for the loss of
                  such carryover by reducing the deferred tax asset and
                  associated valuation allowance. The post-change net operating
                  loss carryover of $3,300,000 will expire 2012-2014.

11.      COMMITMENTS:

         Lease obligations:

         The Company leases its office and warehouse facilities under a
         five-year, non-cancelable operating lease for approximately $7,000 per
         month. Additionally, the Company leases various warehouse space and
         equipment under various non-cancelable operating leases for various
         terms from 12 to 60 month terms for approximately $1,600 per month.
         Rent expense under all operating leases approximated $112,000 and
         $83,000 for 1999 and 1998, respectively.

         Obligations under the non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

                               CONSENT TO SUBLEASE

         Highwoods/Florida Holdings, L.P., Highwoods Properties, Inc. as agent,
successor to B.D.B.P., Ltd., ("Landlord"), as Landlord under that certain Lease
(the "Lease") dated June 10, 1997, by and between Landlord and Kenlee Precision
Corporation, ("Tenant"), as Tenant, subject to and specifically conditioned upon
the following terms and conditions hereby grants its consent to the Sublease
dated March 31, 1999, made by and between the Tenant, as sublessor, and Fountain
Pharmaceuticals, ("Subtenant"), as Subtenant, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the "Sublease") covering certain premises (the "Premises") as more
particularly described in the Sublease, in the building known as Bryan Dairy
Business Park with an address of 7281 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, Florida, 33777.

         The capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have
the meanings ascribed thereto in the Lease. This Consent to Sublease and the
acknowledgment and acceptance of the conditions hereof may be executed in
counterparts, each of which shall be considered an original but constituting one
and the same document.

As conditions to the consent of Landlord to the Sublease, it is understood and
agreed as follows:

1.       NO RELEASE. This Consent to Sublease shall in no way release the Tenant
         or any person or entity claiming by, through or under Tenant, including
         Subtenant, from any of its covenants, agreements, liabilities and
         duties under the Lease (including, without limitation, all duties to
         cause and keep Landlord and others named or referred to in the Lease
         fully insured and indemnified with respect to any acts or omissions of
         Subtenant or its agents, employees or invitees or other matters arising
         by reason of the Sublease or Subtenant's use or occupancy of the
         Premises), as the same may be amended from time to time, without
         respect to any provision to the contrary in the Sublease.

2.       SPECIFIC PROVISIONS OF LEASE AND SUBLEASE. This Consent to Sublease
         consenting to a sublease to Subtenant does not constitute approval by
         Landlord of any of the provisions of the Sublease document or agreement
         thereto or therewith; nor shall the same be construed to amend the
         Lease in any respect, any purported modifications being solely for the
         purpose of setting forth the rights and obligations as between Tenant
         and Subtenant, but not binding Landlord.

3.       AMENDMENT OF SUBLEASE. Tenant and Subtenant shall not amend in any
         respect the Sublease without the prior written approval of Landlord. In
         no event shall any such amendment affect or modify or be deemed to
         affect or modify the Lease in any respect.

4.       LIMITED CONSENT. Except as otherwise set forth herein, this Consent to
         Sublease does not and shall not be construed or implied to be a consent
         to any other matter for which Landlord's consent is required under the
         Lease, including, without limitation, any alterations under Article 8
         of the Lease.


                                      4
<PAGE>   5
5.       TENANT'S CONTINUING LIABILITY. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord for
         any default under the Lease, whether such default is caused by Tenant
         or Subtenant or anyone claiming by or through either Tenant or
         Subtenant, but the foregoing shall not be deemed to restrict or
         diminish any right which Landlord may have against Subtenant pursuant
         to the Lease, in law or in equity for violation of the Lease or
         otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to enjoin or
         otherwise restrain any violation of the Lease by Subtenant.

6.       ACCEPTANCE BY TENANT AND SUBTENANT. Tenant and Subtenant understand and
         acknowledge that Landlord has agreed to execute this Consent to
         Sublease based upon Tenant's and Subtenant's acknowledgment and
         acceptance of the terms and conditions hereof.

7.       SUBORDINATION. The Sublease is, in all respects, subject and
         subordinate to the Lease, as the same may be amended. Furthermore, in
         the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Consent to
         Sublease or the Lease and the provisions of the Sublease, the
         provisions of this Consent to Sublease or the Lease, as the case may
         be, shall prevail unaffected by the Sublease.

8.       ADDITIONAL RENT. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
         Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Tenant will promptly pay to
         Landlord throughout the Term of the Lease any Additional Rent owed to
         Landlord as required under Article 2.02 and Article 2.03 of the Lease,
         and otherwise comply with the provisions of Article 11 and any other
         Section of the Lease which may be relevant to the Sublease. Without
         limiting the generality of the foregoing, Tenant specifically agrees to
         pay all of Landlord's reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including
         attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with the Sublease and this
         Consent to Sublease upon submission of bills therefor, and that the
         failure to pay the same upon demand shall be a default under the Lease.

9.       TERMINATION OF LEASE. If at any time prior to the expiration of the
         term of the Sublease the Lease shall terminate or be terminated for any
         reason (or Tenant's right to possession shall terminate without
         termination of the Lease), and provided Subtenant is not in default
         beyond applicable notice and cure periods, the Sublease, and
         Subtenant's (and any permitted subtenant's or occupant's) occupancy of
         the Premises shall not be disturbed and the Lease shall become a direct
         lease between Landlord and Subtenant, except that Tenant's rights to
         expand, renew, and terminate shall simultaneously become null and void
         and of no further force or effect, as the same are personal to Tenant
         and may not be assigned or sublet. Upon the demand of Landlord,
         however, Subtenant agrees to execute, from time to time, documents in
         confirmation of the foregoing provisions of this paragraph reasonably
         satisfactory to Landlord in which Subtenant shall acknowledge such
         attornment and shall set forth the terms and conditions of its tenancy.
         Nothing contained in this paragraph shall be construed to impair or
         modify any right otherwise exercisable by the Landlord, whether under
         the Lease, any other agreement or in law.



                                      5
<PAGE>   6
10.      SERVICES. Tenant hereby agrees that Landlord may furnish to the
         Premises services requested by Subtenant other than or in addition to
         those to be provided under the Lease, and bill the Subtenant directly
         for such services for the convenience of and without notice to Tenant.
         Subtenant hereby agrees to pay Landlord all amounts which may become
         due for such services on the due dates therefor. If Subtenant shall
         fail to do so, however, and if Tenant has been notified in advance in
         writing about the furnishing of such other or additional services to
         Subtenant and Tenant does not notify Landlord of its protest of same
         within ten (10) days following such notice, Tenant agrees to pay such
         amounts to Landlord upon demand as Additional Rent under the Lease, and
         the failure to pay the same upon demand shall be a payment default
         under the Lease.

11.      NO WAIVER; NO PRIVITY. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed a
         waiver of any of the Landlord's rights under the Lease. In no event,
         however, shall Landlord be deemed to be in privity of contract with
         Subtenant or owe any obligation or duty to Subtenant under the Lease or
         otherwise, any duties of Landlord under the Lease being in favor of,
         for the benefit of and enforceable solely by Tenant.

12.      NOTICES. Subtenant agrees to promptly deliver a copy to Landlord of all
         notices of default and all other notices sent to Tenant under the
         Sublease, other than ministerial notices, and Tenant agrees to promptly
         deliver a copy to Landlord of all such notices sent to Subtenant under
         the Sublease. All copies of any such notices shall be delivered
         personally or sent by United States registered or certified mail,
         postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Highwoods Properties,
         Inc., 9720 Princess Palm Ave., Suite 140, Tampa, Florida 33619-8346, or
         to such other place or persons as Landlord or its agent may from time
         to time designate.

13.      RESERVATION OF RIGHTS. This Consent to Sublease shall be deemed limited
         solely to the Sublease, and Landlord reserves the right to consent or
         to withhold consent and all other rights under the Lease with respect
         to any other matters including, without limitation, any proposed
         alterations (except as otherwise set forth herein) and with respect to
         any further or additional subleases, assignments or transfers of the
         Lease or any interest therein or thereto including, without limitation,
         a sublease or any assignment of this Sublease.

14.      RIGHT TO CURE SUBTENANT DEFAULT. Tenant shall be notified in writing of
         any events of default of the Lease by Subtenant in the event Landlord
         intends to declare a default under the Lease as to Subtenant, and in
         such event, Tenant shall have the right to timely cure such default as
         set forth in the Lease.


15.      ALTERATIONS AT TERMINATION. Upon termination of the Lease and Sublease,
         as the case may be, Tenant and Subtenant, as the case may be, shall
         leave in the Premises all tenant improvements now located within the
         Premises together with any alterations or improvements described on
         Subtenant's plans and specifications which have been submitted to
         Landlord and which plans and specifications Landlord has in writing
         approved of and consented to ("Subtenant's Work"). Any additions,
         improvements, or alterations to the Premises installed by the Tenant or
         Subtenant after March 31, 1999, other than Subtenant's Work, shall be
         removed at Tenant's or Subtenant's cost, as appropriate, unless prior
         to construction or installation, Tenant or Subtenant, as appropriate,
         obtains Landlord's prior written consent (which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed), to


                                      6
<PAGE>   7
         leave same upon termination. All such items left in the Premises shall
         be left in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear
         excepted.

16.      RELEASE OF LANDLORD. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that through the
         date hereof, Landlord, its predecessors in interest, and their
         respective partners, directors, officers, employees and agents have
         fully and completely performed all of the obligations on their part to
         be performed under the Lease, and thus Tenant has no claim or cause of
         action against them under the Lease or otherwise.

17.      TENANT AND SUBTENANT BOUND. By executing this Consent to Sublease,
         Tenant and Subtenant acknowledge and agree to be bound by all of the
         terms and conditions of Landlord's consent to the Sublease as set forth
         herein.

18.      NO OFFER. This Consent to Sublease is submitted on the understanding
         that it will not be considered an offer and will not bind Landlord in
         any way until (a) Tenant and Subtenant have duly executed and delivered
         duplicate originals to Landlord and (b) Landlord has executed and
         delivered one of such originals to Tenant and Subtenant.

19.      DATE OF CONSENT TO SUBLEASE. For reference purposes only, this Consent
         to Sublease is dated this 31st day of March, 1999.

EXHIBIT 10.10

                             SUB-LICENSE AGREEMENT

            This SUB-LICENSE AGREEMENT ("Agreement") is made as of May 27,
1999, between Y.S. LABORATORIES, INC. ("Y.S.") and FOUNTAIN PHARMACUTICALS,
INC. ("Fountain").

            WHEREAS, Fountain desires to sub-license certain proprietary
information, technology and patents including solutions, ointments, creams and
lotions, and particular ingredients utilized to develop such products. The
particular proprietary information, technology and patents (hereinafter "the
Technology") are more fully detailed in Patents numbered 5,015,474 and
5,248,501 previously issued to Francis W. Parnell, M.D., and assigned to
Parnell Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Parnell") by virtue of assignments on or about
March 26, 1990 and March 11, 1991. The Patents are attached hereto as Exhibit
"A." Parnell entered into a License Agreement with Y.S. on or about March 20,
1993, which granted a non-exclusive, transferable world-wide license to make,
modify and sell certain products using Parnell's proprietary information and
technology, and effective May 1, 1999 Parnell entered into a First Amendment to
the License Agreement which granted an exclusive, transferable, worldwide
license, with rights to manufacture, modify and sell Products for use as
topical epidermal skin care products, including products for lips and skin,
that utilize Parnell's proprietary information, technology, and the Patents
described above. (The License Agreement and the First Amendment to License
Agreement are collectively referred to hereafter as "the License Agreement" and
are attached as Exhibit "B.")

         1. Representations and Warranties.

            A. Y.S. is a validly formed Delaware corporation in good standing
and properly capitalized to carry on its business purposes. Y.S. represents and
warrants that it lawfully and properly acquired the Technology from Parnell by
virtue of the License Agreement, previously referenced as Exhibit "B" herein,
and the terms of which are incorporated in this Sub-License Agreement.

            B. Y.S. further represents and warrants that it has the right to
grant a sub-license to Fountain to use the Technology for purposes of
manufacturing, modifying and selling Products for use as topical epidermal skin
care products, including products for lips and skin, that utilize the
Technology (collectively the "Licensed Uses"), and such sub-license does not
conflict with the rights of any third parties, including rights regarding the
Technology or any contracts or agreements arising hereunder. Y.S. further
represents and warrants that Y.S. does not currently license the Technology of
the Patents to any third parties for the Licensed Uses. Y.S. acknowledges that
Fountain is relying upon the representations of Y.S. in connection with this
Agreement and in expending substantial financial and human resources to
test-market the Yerba Santa products and to enter into any market channel as
defined in Paragraph 2.D., herein.

            C. Y.S. agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Fountain in
connection with any claims brought by or against Fountain or any damages which
Fountain may




                                       1
<PAGE>   2

suffer (including legal fees) by virtue of any claim that this sub-license
violates the rights of a third party or the parties to this Agreement. Francis
W. Parnell, M.D. and Diana Parnell, M.D., jointly and severally and as the
owners of all of the outstanding shares of stock of Y.S., personally agree to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless Fountain in connection with any claims
brought by or against Fountain or any damages which Fountain may suffer
(including legal fees) by virtue of any claim that this sub-license violated
the rights of a third party or parties to this Agreement; provided however,
Francis Parnell's and Diana Parnell's maximum obligation to pay costs of
defense, indemnification, and holding Fountain harmless is an aggregate of the
dollar amount equal to the amounts paid by Fountain to Y.S. pursuant to this
Agreement.

         2. Terms of Sub-License.

            A. Pursuant to the terms of this Sub-License Agreement, Y.S. grants
to Fountain an exclusive license, within the territory of the United States of
America ("the Territory"), to use the Technology for the Licensed Uses.

            B. There shall be no further licensing of the Technology or patents
to any third parties for the Licensed Uses within the Territory absent the
express written consent of Fountain.

            C. Fountain is granted this Sub-License for use of the Technology
for the Licensed Uses within the Territory for a period of eighteen months from
the date of the execution of this Sub-License Agreement. The parties agree that
within such initial eighteen month time frame, Fountain at its sole election,
may elect to extend the time period of this License for an additional six
months to complete its pursuit of test market activities in order to test the
viability and marketability of Fountain's proposed Yerba Santa products.
Fountain's election to extend the period of the License for an additional six
months shall be effective upon the condition that Fountain has, during the
first eighteen months of the term of this Sub-License Agreement expended a
material amount of funds and/or resources in a test market for the specific
marketing channel. In consideration for the instant sub-license, Fountain shall
pay to Y.S. $100,000 upon Y.S.' execution of this Agreement and for Fountain's
exclusive right to test the viability of the Yerba Santa skin care concept in
the following marketing channels: direct response/infomercial, aesthetician,
multi-level, physician (all specialty and retail).

               In addition to the $100,000 payment, Fountain shall pay to Y.S.
a royalty of eight percent (8%) of the net sales of Fountain Products using the
Licensed Technology in pursuit of the test market activities. The royalty
payments shall be as provided in Paragraph I of this Section 2. Fountain
acknowledges that Y.S. will continue to use the Technology for the manufacture
and selling of products directly to the physician market and in connection with
direct response advertisements in print, cable television, and electronic
commerce to further foster its existing skin care business and clinic.

            D. In the event, based upon Fountain's market studies, Fountain
elects to enter the U.S. market with respect to the above-referenced marketing
channels, Fountain agrees to pay Y.S. $100,000 for each such market channel
selected as an advance against royalties. Additionally, upon making the
election to enter a marketing channel, Fountain shall grant to Y.S.




                                       2
<PAGE>   3

an option to purchase one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of Fountain
for each such market channel selected for expansion. Such option shall be based
upon one percent (1%) of the issued and outstanding stock of Fountain as of the
date such election to enter the particular marketing channel is made by
Fountain and shall be at a share price as of the close of trading on the
particular day in which such election is made. In the event no such shares of
Fountain were traded as of that date, the applicable option price shall be
based upon the last effectuated trade of Fountain shares. Additionally, any
such options awarded under the provisions of this Sub-License Agreement shall
be consistent with Fountain's stock option plan which shall be provided to Y.S.
prior to the execution of the instant Sub-License Agreement. Fountain will
promptly notify Y.S. upon making the election to enter into each marketing
channel.

            E. In the event Fountain does not elect to enter a particular
market channel within eighteen months of the execution of this Agreement, or
any extension, Fountain's license to use the Technology in connection with the
particular market channel expires and the remaining rights for the use of
Technology and marketing of products to the particular marketing channel shall
revert back to Y.S.

            F. In the event Fountain properly elects to enter a particular
marketing channel, and pays such advance in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and issues the necessary stock options, Fountain shall have the
exclusive right to extend the term of this Sub-License Agreement for the
applicable marketing channel for a term expiring with the latest expiration of
Patents numbered 5,015,474 and 5,248,501, whichever patent expires latest. This
Sub-License Agreement is subject to early termination for each marketing
channel, in the sole discretion of Y.S., if Fountain fails to pay the minimum
annual royalties as described in Paragraph H of this Section 2.

            G. For each such marketing channel elected and entered into by
virtue of the terms of this Sub-License Agreement, Fountain will pay to Y.S. a
royalty on net sales during the term of this Agreement according to the
following schedule. Eight percent (8%) on the first $10,000,000 of net sales;
seven percent (7%) on sales of $10,000,001 to $20,000,000; six percent (6%) on
sales of $20,000,001 to $30,000,000; and five percent (5%) on any such net
sales in excess of $40,000,000. Net sales shall be defined under this Agreement
as the gross amount invoiced for products, less normal and customary trade
quantity, cash discounts permitted or paid, credits and allowances granted on
account of price adjustments, billing errors or rejection or return of goods,
commissions allowed or paid to brokers or agents and any taxes, customs or
duties imposed in connection with the sale and shipment of such product, sales
tax, transportation charges or any other such charges specifically and directly
relating to the sale and distribution of the product.

            H. In connection with each market channel elected for national
expansion by Fountain, Fountain agrees to pay Y.S. a minimum annual royalty of
$25,000 per calendar year for the market channel selected.

            I. Royalty payments as described in Paragraphs C, G, and H, shall
be made in U.S. Dollars on a calendar quarterly basis within forth-five days
after the end of each calendar quarter. In connection with all royalty
payments, Fountain shall furnish to Y.S. a statement




                                       3
<PAGE>   4

reflecting royalty payments made during the preceding quarter. Y.S. shall have
the right, at its expense, to inspect or have its authorized representative
inspect the books and records of Fountain upon a reasonable amount of advanced
notice and, in any event, not to exceed one time during any twelve month period
of the existing Sub-License Agreement. In the event that any inspection by Y.S.
established that any calendar quarter payment due to Y.S. has been underpaid,
Fountain shall promptly pay to Y.S. the amount of the underpayment together
with 10% interest from the due date to the date of payment; and, if the
underpayment is 5% or more of the total calendar quarter payment actually due,
Fountain shall pay to Y.S. all reasonable expenses incurred in the inspection
of the books and records of Fountain, establishing the amount of underpayment,
and the cost of collection including reasonable attorneys fees and accounting
fees. Likewise, in the event that any inspection by Y.S. confirms that Y.S. was
property paid, Y.S. shall pay to Fountain all reasonable expenses incurred by
Fountain in connection with establishing that the proper amount was paid to
Y.S., including reasonable attorneys' fees and accounting fees.

            J. Moreover, Y.S. acknowledges that any payments due Parnell under
the terms of the License Agreement are the sole responsibility of Y.S. and that
Fountain shall have no obligation, express, implied or otherwise, to remit any
sum to Parnell. Further, Y.S. represents and warrants that it shall continue to
make all contractually required payments to Parnell under the terms and
conditions of the License Agreement. In the event Y.S. fails to make all
contractually required payments to Parnell under the terms and conditions of
the License Agreement, Y.S. shall promptly notify Fountain of such failure and
provide Fountain with the opportunity to cure any default and either seek
reimbursement from Y.S. or set-off any such amount advanced against future
royalty payments. Moreover, Y.S. shall provide notice to Fountain of any claim
by any property which impacts Fountain's exclusive rights as granted by the
terms of this Agreement.

            K. In the event either party fails to perform the material
obligations hereunder and does not correct its failure within thirty days after
written notification for any such material breach, the non-breaching party may
upon thirty days written notice terminate this Sub-License Agreement and any
rights conferred thereunder.

         3. General Provisions

            A. This Sub-License Agreement supersedes all prior understandings
and agreements between them. This Sub-License Agreement may only be made in
writing and executed by all the parties hereto and shall be governed by the
laws of the State of California.

            B. In connection with any disputes involving this Sub-License
Agreement, the parties agree that any such dispute shall be resolved before and
pursuant to the rules and provisions of the Judicial Arbitration Mediation
Services ("JAMS"). Any such dispute shall be heard in San Francisco,
California. The Arbitrator will have the discretion to determine a prevailing
party in the proceedings, and to award to the prevailing party reimbursement of
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs from the other party.

<PAGE>   2

      unless extended by mutual agreement in writing by both parties.

      The Consultant may terminate this Agreement prior to May 31, 2000, with
      or without cause, by 30 days advance written notice to Fountain.

      Fountain may terminate the Consultant's engagement with Fountain prior to
      May 31, 2000 for ""good cause"" only. The term ""good cause"" is defined
      as any of the following: (a) Consultant's death; (b) litigation is
      commenced against the Consultant or any business entity in which the
      Consultant is or has been associated regarding the Sub-License Agreement
      described in Section 2 or the underlying License Agreement; (c)
      Consultant's material negligence or fraudulent conduct in connection with
      the performance of the Consultant's duties arising from this Agreement;
      (d) the Consultant's conviction by, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo
      contendere in a Court of competent jurisdiction for a felony or a
      misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (e) Consultant" commission of an
      act of fraud upon Fountain, or any personal dishonesty or malfeasance in
      the course of performing the Consultant's duties arising from this
      Agreement.

      In the event that Fountain terminates the Consultant for good cause and
      the Consultant disputes the presence of good cause as defined in this
      Section, the Consultant will be suspended, without compensation, pending
      resolution of the dispute by binding arbitration as provided in Section
      15 of this Agreement. In the event the Arbitrator's award determines that
      Fountain did not have cause for termination as defined in this Section,
      the Consultant will be entitled to payment of all compensation due to the
      Consultant during the term of suspension and for the balance of the term
      of this Agreement through May 31, 2000.

7.    EXCHANGE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each of the parties acknowledges
      that the other may receive access to information of a confidential and/or
      trade secret nature that has great value to the disclosing party in the
      course of the performance of the Consultant's duties pursuant to this
      Agreement. Such information includes, but is not limited to, techniques,
      processes, pricing, and the names and address of suppliers and customers.
      The recipient of such information will keep all such Confidential
      Information in confidence during the term of this Agreement and after the
      expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon termination or
      expiration of this Agreement, each recipient of Confidential Information
      will deliver to the disclosing party all documents, records, notebooks,
      work papers, and similar material containing any Confidential Information
      whether prepared by the disclosing party or anyone else.

8.    INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and not in
      conflict with any indemnity provisions of the Sub-License Agreement
      described in Section 2, Fountain will indemnify the Consultant and hold
      the Consultant harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith by
      the Consultant while performing services for Fountain. Fountain will pay

<PAGE>   3

      approved settlements, actually and necessarily incurred by the Consultant
      in connection with the defense of any such action, suit or proceeding and
      in connection with any appeal thereon, which as been brought against the
      Consultant by reason of the Consultant's services as a consultant to
      Fountain. Provided, however, the indemnity provisions of this Section
      shall not apply to any litigation brought against the Consultant in
      connection with the terms or granting of the Sub-License Agreement or its
      underlying License Agreement.

9.    INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Consultant's relationship with Fountain is that
      of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
      construed to create an employer-employee relationship between Fountain
      and the Consultant. Since the Consultant will not be an employee of
      Fountain, Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant will not be
      entitled to any employee benefits Fountain offers to employees, nor will
      any part of any compensation payable to the Consultant be subject to
      withholding by Fountain for the payment of any Social Security, Federal,
      State or other employee payroll taxes. The Consultant is solely
      responsible for the payment of all income taxes, Federal or State, levied
      upon Consultant's fees received pursuant to this Agreement.

10.   NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications under
      this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
      given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom

                              CONSULTING AGREEMENT

The Agreement is between FOUNTAIN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation

1.    TERM. Fountain engages the Consultant as an independent contractor to
      provide consulting services to Fountain during the term commencing June
      1, 1999 and concluding May 31, 2000. This Agreement may be extended
      beyond May 31, 2000 by mutual agreement of the parties in writing.

2.    FOUNTAIN'S SUB-LICENSE AGREEMENT. Pursuant to a Sub-License Agreement
      dated May 27, 1999, between Fountain and Y.S. Laboratories, Inc. the
      terms of which are incorporated in this Consulting Agreement by this
      reference, Fountain has been granted a sub-license to use certain
      proprietary information, technology and patents ("the Technology") for
      purposes of manufacturing, modifying and selling Products for use as
      topical epidermal skin care products, including products for lips and
      skin, that utilize the Technology (collectively the "Licensed Uses")
      within the United States of America ("the Territory").

3.    SERVICES. The Consultant shall provide to Fountain advice and assistance
      for the manufacturing and marketing of Products utilizing the Technology
      for Licensed Uses within the Territory during the term of this Agreement.
      The services that are provided by the Consultant shall include, but are
      not limited to, assistance and advice regarding the preparation of
      promotional materials such as print media and infomercials. Upon
      reasonable advance notice and request, the Consultant is required to
      provide such services up to a maximum of 96 hours during the term of this
      Agreement.

      The parties agree that the Consultant may engage in other occupations and
      engagements during the term of this Agreement, including but not limited
      to the manufacture and development of Products utilizing the Technology;
      provided, however, the Consultant shall not engage in any activity that
      is directly competitive or adverse to Fountain's business except with the
      prior written consent of Fountain.

4.    COMPENSATION. Fountain agrees to pay the Consultant on the basis of time
      reasonably devoted to the Consultant's services to Fountain as follows:
      $500 per hours; $2,000 for 1/2 day; and $4,000 for one full work day. If
      the Consultant is required to travel outside the geographical area
      comprised of San Francisco and Marin Counties, California, the Consultant
      shall be compensated $4,000 for each day, or partial day, that the
      Consultant is required to be outside of those Counties.

5.    BUSINESS EXPENSES. Fountain will reimburse the Consultant for reasonable
      business expenses directly incurred in the performance of Consultant's
      duties arising from this Agreement, and approved in advance by Gerald
      Simmons, Chris Whitaker, or another executive designated by Fountain for
      such purposes. Such reimbursement shall be made not later than the end of
      the calendar month immediately following the Consultant's request

      for reimbursement. The parties acknowledge that in unusual cases, the
      Consultant may request that Fountain pay for reasonable business expenses
      directly.

6.    EARLY TERMINATION. This Agreement automatically expires on May 31, 2000
      unless extended by mutual agreement in writing by both parties.

      The Consultant may terminate this Agreement prior to May 31, 2000, with
      or without cause, by 30 days advance written notice to Fountain.

      Fountain may terminate the Consultant's engagement with Fountain prior to
      May 31, 2000 for ""good cause"" only. The term ""good cause"" is defined
      as any of the following: (a) Consultant's death; (b) litigation is
      commenced against the Consultant or any business entity in which the
      Consultant is or has been associated regarding the Sub-License Agreement
      described in Section 2 or the underlying License Agreement; (c)
      Consultant's material negligence or fraudulent conduct in connection with
      the performance of the Consultant's duties arising from this Agreement;
      (d) the Consultant's conviction by, or entry of a plea of guilty or nolo
      contendere in a Court of competent jurisdiction for a felony or a
      misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; (e) Consultant" commission of an
      act of fraud upon Fountain, or any personal dishonesty or malfeasance in
      the course of performing the Consultant's duties arising from this
      Agreement.

      In the event that Fountain terminates the Consultant for good cause and
      the Consultant disputes the presence of good cause as defined in this
      Section, the Consultant will be suspended, without compensation, pending
      resolution of the dispute by binding arbitration as provided in Section
      15 of this Agreement.

7.    EXCHANGE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each of the parties acknowledges
      that the other may receive access to information of a confidential and/or
      trade secret nature that has great value to the disclosing party in the
      course of the performance of the Consultant's duties pursuant to this
      Agreement. Such information includes, but is not limited to, techniques,
      processes, pricing, and the names and address of suppliers and customers.
      The recipient of such information will keep all such Confidential
      Information in confidence during the term of this Agreement and after the
      expiration or termination of this Agreement. Upon termination or
      expiration of this Agreement, each recipient of Confidential Information
      will deliver to the disclosing party all documents, records, notebooks,
      work papers, and similar material containing any Confidential Information
      whether prepared by the disclosing party or anyone else.

8.    INDEMNITY. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and not in
      conflict with any indemnity provisions of the Sub-License Agreement
      described in Section 2, Fountain will indemnify the Consultant and hold
      the Consultant harmless for any acts or decisions made in good faith by
      the Consultant while performing services for Fountain. Fountain will pay
      all expenses, including reasonable attorneys fees and costs of court
      approved settlements, actually and necessarily incurred by the Consultant

      Fountain. Provided, however, the indemnity provisions of this Section
      shall not apply to any litigation brought against the Consultant in
      connection with the terms or granting of the Sub-License Agreement or its
      underlying License Agreement.

9.    INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. Consultant's relationship with Fountain is that
      of an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
      construed to create an employer-employee relationship between Fountain
      and the Consultant. Since the Consultant will not be an employee of
      Fountain, Consultant acknowledges and agrees that Consultant will not be
      entitled to any employee benefits Fountain offers to employees, nor will
      any part of any compensation payable to the Consultant be subject to
      withholding by Fountain for the payment of any Social Security, Federal,
      State or other employee payroll taxes. The Consultant is solely
      responsible for the payment of all income taxes, Federal or State, levied
      upon Consultant's fees received pursuant to this Agreement.

10.   NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands, or other communications under
      this Agreement must be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly
      given on the date of service if served personally on the party to whom
      notice is given, or within 72 hours after mailing, if mailed to the party
      to whom notice is to be given, by First Class Mail, Registered or
      Certified, postage prepaid, and properly addressed to the party at either
      of the following addresses, or at any other address that any party may
      designate by writing to the other.

      Consultant's obligation to provide services to Fountain. Subject to the
      limitation against delegation of the Consultant's duties, this Agreement
      inures to the benefit and is binding upon the successors and assigns of
      each of the parties.

      relating to the subject matter of the Consultant's engagement as an
      independently contracting consultant with Fountain, and supersedes any
      prior agreements, undertakings, commitments and practices relating to
