PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1.           Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in complete financial statements prepared
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes
that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading. It is suggested that the condensed consolidated financial statements
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

         These financial statements have been prepared in all material respects
in conformity with the standards of accounting measurements set forth in
Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 28, "Interim Financial Reporting," and
the rules and regulations as specified in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
and reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments
which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to summarize fairly our
consolidated financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for
the periods presented. The results of operations for such interim periods are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

 1.     Reincorporation

        At the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 16, 2000,
the Company's shareholders voted to reincorporate PharmChem Laboratories, Inc.,
a California corporation, by merging the Company into PharmChem, Inc., a newly
created Delaware corporation. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, each
outstanding share of PharmChem Laboratories, Inc., no par value per share, was
automatically converted into one share of PharmChem, Inc. common stock, $0.001
par value per share, upon the effective date of the merger. The merger was
completed on May 16, 2000. Shareholders' equity within the consolidated
financial statements has been reclassified to reflect the new capital structure
for all periods presented. PharmChem, Inc. has an authorized capital of
25,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. No
shares of preferred stock are issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2000.

2.      Earnings per Share

        We compute and disclose our earnings per share in accordance with SFAS
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share," which requires the presentation of basic and
diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated using the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated using the weighted average number of common
shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period.
Dilutive potential common shares represent shares issuable upon the exercise of
outstanding options and are calculated using the treasury stock method.

        Options to purchase 183,000 shares and 110,000 shares of our common
stock for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively,
were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their
exercise prices were greater than the average market price of our common stock
of $2.943 and $3.492 per share, respectively. Options to purchase 116,000 shares
and 66,000 shares of our common stock for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 1999, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share because their exercise prices were greater than the average
market price of our common stock of $2.698 and $3.115 per share, respectively.
Weighted average dilutive options of 163,000 and 274,000 were used in the
computation of dilutive earnings per share for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 2000, respectively. Weighted average dilutive options of
119,000 and 223,000 were used in the computation of dilutive earnings per share
for the three month and nine month periods ended June 30, 1999, respectively.

4.       Reportable Segments

         We have two reportable segments, Domestic and International, providing
integrated drug testing services. Our Domestic segment serves the United States
(U.S.) and the International segment serves primarily the United Kingdom but
also serves the European, Asian, Middle Eastern and South American markets. The
Domestic segment is serviced by our California and Texas operations and the
International segment is serviced by Medscreen, our London-based subsidiary. The
accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K. We evaluate segment profit based on income or loss from
operations before intercompany interest, other income or expense and income
taxes and excluding goodwill amortization. Intersegment sales and transfers are
not material. Information about our segments for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30 is as follows:

5.       Debt

         On May 15, 2000, we entered into an amended and restated Loan and
Security Agreement ("Credit Agreement") with our bank. The amended Credit
Agreement reflects similar terms and conditions to the predecessor agreement
covering our revolving line of credit and variable rate installment note
("Installment Note"). The amended Credit Agreement provides for borrowings under
the revolving line of credit limited to 85% of qualified accounts receivables up
to a maximum of $6,000,000. At June 30, 2000, the calculated maximum that could
be borrowed and the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement were
$5,462,000 and $1,856,000, respectively. Advances under the revolving line of
credit carry interest at either the prime rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 3.25%. As
of June 30, 2000, the Credit Agreement carries a commitment fee of 0.25% and the
revolving line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 0.5%.

         On April 20, 1999, we entered into a $1,500,000 Installment Note with
our bank. The proceeds from the Installment Note were immediately used to reduce
the amount outstanding under our revolving line of credit. The Installment Note
is subject to the terms and conditions of the amended Credit Agreement,
currently bears interest at the prime rate plus 0.5% and is payable over 60
months.

         On April 30, 1999, we entered into a $1,082,000 lease agreement with a
lessor to refinance certain modules of our Unified Database (UDB) software
project. The lease bears interest at 8.5% and is payable over 36 months. On
November 23, 1999, we entered into a $1,200,000 lease agreement with a lessor to
refinance certain other modules of the UDB project. The lease bears interest at
9.5% and is payable over 36 months. Proceeds from the leases were used to reduce
amounts outstanding under our revolving line of credit and for capital
expenditures. These leases have been accounted for as capital leases.

      Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $431,000
(3.9%) to $11,580,000 in 2000 from $11,149,000 in 1999. We recorded a decrease
in domestic workplace laboratory service sales of $401,000 (9.7%) which more
than offset an increase in our domestic criminal justice laboratory service
sales of $83,000 (1.9%). Domestic laboratory specimen (including product related
analyses) volume decreased 7.3% due to lower specimen volume across all customer
classes, partially reflecting a move by some customers toward the use of
PharmScreen(R), our on-site screening device, to complement their laboratory
drug testing program. Average selling prices for domestic laboratory analyses
(including product related analyses) increased 3.1% despite the lower specimen
volume. Medscreen, our London-based subsidiary, reported an increase in sales of
1.6% and a 14.6% increase in specimen volume, reflecting a mix toward
lower-priced volume. Domestic products and other increased as sales of
PharmScreen(R) increased $256,000 (67.5%) and non-laboratory service sales
increased $570,000. Under our Premium Comprehensive Management(TM) (PCM)
umbrella of integrated drug testing services, non-laboratory services include
collection management services and information systems development.

      Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $865,000 (4.1%)
to $22,188,000 in 2000 from $21,323,000 in 1999. Our domestic laboratory service
sales decreased $535,000 (3.2%) reflecting lower workplace and drug
rehabilitation laboratory service sales that more than offset higher criminal
justice sales. Domestic laboratory specimen (including product related analyses)
volume decreased 4.5%, partially reflecting a move by some customers toward the
use of PharmScreen(R). Average selling prices for domestic laboratory analyses
(including product related analyses) increased 1.4%. Medscreen reported a
$275,000 (7.9%) increase in sales and a 18.9% increase in specimen volume. Sales
of



                                       11
<PAGE>   12

PharmScreen(R) increased $281,000 (32.7%) while sales of our PharmChek Drugs of
Abuse Patch (excluding analysis) products decreased $73,000 (48.3%) compared to
the prior year. Non-laboratory service sales increased $917,000 reflecting our
expansion into non-laboratory services, such as collection management services
and information systems development.

      Cost of sales for the three months ended June 30, 2000 increased $195,000
(2.5%) to $8,060,000 in 2000 from $7,865,000 in 1999. The increase in cost of
sales reflects higher collection service costs partially offset by lower labor
costs and operational efficiencies attributed to our ongoing cost reduction and
laboratory process improvement programs. The operational efficiencies also
reflect improved distribution of the work load resulting from additional
laboratory analyzers implemented in mid-1999. Cost of sales as a percentage of
net sales decreased to 69.6% in 2000 from 70.5% in 1999. Gross profit as a
percentage of net sales increased to 30.4% in 2000 from 29.5% in 1999.

      Cost of sales for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased $181,000
(1.2%) to $15,270,000 in 2000 from $15,089,000 in 1999. The increase in cost of
sales reflects higher collection service costs partially offset by lower labor
costs and results reporting costs. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
decreased to 68.8% in 2000 from 70.8% in 1999. Gross profit as a percentage of
net sales increased to 31.2% in 2000 from 29.2% in 1999.

      Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 increased $232,000 (8.8%) to $2,860,000 in 2000 from
$2,628,000 in 1999. The increase reflects higher depreciation expenses of
$91,000 attributed to implementing our UDB customer service information systems
project in the third quarter of 1999 and further investments in our direct sales
force and information systems infrastructure, which was partially offset by a
reduction of bad debt expense due to our continuing trend of improved
collections. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 24.7% in
2000 from 23.6% in 1999.

      Selling, General & Administrative (SG&A) expenses for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 increased $610,000 (12.0%) to $5,696,000 in 2000 from $5,086,000
in 1999. The increase partially reflects higher depreciation expenses of
$187,000 attributed to the implementation of our UDB system and our continued
investment in PCM. SG&A expenses as a percentage of net sales increased to 25.7%
in 2000 from 23.9% in 1999.

      Provision for Income Taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$212,000 compared to $204,000 in 1999. The provision for income taxes was
$381,000 and $28,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively. During the first quarter of 1999, we reversed a $336,000 tax
liability after the Internal Revenue Service ruled in our favor regarding the
deductibility of PharmChek(R) research expenses incurred in the years 1992
through 1994. Excluding the effect of this income tax credit, the provision for
income tax expense would have been $364,000 in the first half of 1999.

      Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was $374,000 or $0.06
per diluted common share compared to net income of $361,000 or $0.06 per diluted
common share in 1999. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was
$656,000 or $0.11 per diluted common share compared to net income of $944,000 or
$0.16 per diluted common share in 1999. Excluding the impact of the $336,000
income tax credit, net income for the six months ended June 30, 1999 would have
been $608,000 or $0.10 per diluted share.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Our operations during the six month period ended June 30 provided cash
of approximately $425,000 in 2000 and provided cash of $957,000 in 1999. The
decrease in cash flow from operations between 2000 and 1999 principally reflects
higher accounts receivable balances due to increased sales and lower accounts
payable and accrued compensation in the current year as a result of the timing
of payments. As of June 30, 2000, we had $1,530,000 in cash and cash
equivalents. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we used approximately
$1,698,000 in cash to purchase property and equipment, principally for ATLAS,
our new laboratory information system under development.

         On May 15, 2000, we entered into an amended and restated Loan and
Security Agreement ("Credit Agreement) with our bank. The amended Credit
Agreement reflects similar terms and conditions to the predecessor agreement
covering our revolving line of credit and variable rate installment note
("Installment Note"). The amended Credit Agreement provides for borrowings under
the revolver limited to 85% of qualified accounts receivables up to a maximum of
$6,000,000. At June 30, 2000, the calculated maximum that could be borrowed and
the amount outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $5,462,000 and
$1,856,000, respectively. Advances under the revolving line of credit carry
interest at either the prime rate plus 0.5% or LIBOR plus 3.25%. The Credit
Agreement contains certain financial covenants which, among others, require us
to maintain certain levels of net worth, cash flow and profitability, and
restricts the payment of cash dividends. As of June 30, 2000, the Credit
Agreement carries a commitment fee of 0.25% and the revolving line of credit
bears interest at the prime rate plus 0.5%.

         On April 20, 1999, we entered into a $1,500,000 variable rate
installment note ("Installment Note") with our bank. The proceeds from the
Installment Note were immediately used to reduce the amount outstanding under
our revolving line of credit. The Installment Note is subject to the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement, currently bears interest at the prime rate
plus 0.5% and is payable over 60 months.

         On April 30, 1999, we entered into a $1,082,000 lease agreement with a
lessor to refinance certain modules of our UDB software project. The lease bears
interest at 8.5% and is payable over 36 months. On November 23, 1999, we entered
into a $1,200,000 lease agreement with a lessor to refinance certain other
modules of the UDB project. The lease bears interest at 9.5% and is payable over
36 months. Proceeds from the leases were used to reduce amounts outstanding
under our revolving line of credit and for capital expenditures. These leases
have been accounted for as capital leases.

         We anticipate the existing cash balances, amounts available under
existing credit agreements and funds to be generated from future operations will
be sufficient to fund operations and forecasted capital expenditures through the
foreseeable future.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         We are subject to market risk with respect to our debt outstanding and
foreign currency transactions. Our revolving credit agreement and installment
note carry interest at the prime rate plus 0.5%. As the prime rate increases, we
will incur higher relative interest expense and similarly, a



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

decrease in the prime rate will reduce relative interest expense. Despite the
steady increase in the prime rate during the past twelve months, there have not
been significant fluctuations in the historical prime rate. A 1.0% change in the
prime rate would not materially change interest expense assuming levels of debt
consistent with historical amounts. Due to our international operations, certain
transactions are conducted in foreign currencies. Medscreen's transactions are
denominated approximately 84% in pound sterling and 16% in US currency. During
the six month periods ending June 30, 2000 and 1999, Medscreen's net sales
represented 16.9% and 16.3%, respectively, of our total net sales and, as a
result, the impact of market risk on foreign currency transactions is not
considered material. These market risks are not considered significant.

IMPACT OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements, as amended by SAB 101A, which provides guidance on the recognition,
presentation, and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the
SEC. SAB 101 outlines the basic criteria that must be met to recognize revenue
and provides guidance for disclosures related to revenue recognition policies.
In June 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101B which deferred the effective date of SAB
101 until the last quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 31, 1999. We
are currently reviewing the impact of SAB 101 on our financial position and
results of operations.

         In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25. This interpretation
clarifies the application of Opinion 25 for certain issues: (a) the definition
of employee for purposes of applying Opinion 25, (b) the criteria for
determining whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan, (c) the
accounting consequence of various modifications to the terms of a previously
fixed stock option or award, and (d) the accounting for an exchange of stock
compensation awards in a business combination. Generally, this Interpretation is
effective July 1, 2000. We do not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 44
to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
