            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
            ------------------------------------------------------


 

NOTE 1.          PUBLIC OFFERING OF COMMON STOCK:
                 ------------------------------- 

          On April 19, 1996, the Company completed a public offering of
3,000,000 shares of its Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, at an issuance
price of $6.50 per share for a total of $19.5 million.  The net proceeds to the
Company, after all issuance expenses, were approximately $18 million.  These
shares were sold to selected institutional investors.


NOTE 2.       ACQUISITION OF RESOURCE BIOMETRICS, INC.:
              ---------------------------------------- 

          On July 18, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding shares
of stock of Resource Biometrics, Inc. ("RBI") for an initial consideration of
350,000 shares of the Company's common stock. RBI is a provider of software
products and data services to the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical
device industries.  RBI's software tools are used to increase the efficiency of
data clean-up, database consolidation, data analysis and reporting.  The
acquisition was recorded using the purchase method of accounting.  The total
purchase price of $2,463,000, including estimated transaction costs of $174,000,
was allocated to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The $2,718,000 excess of purchase price over book value on the acquisition date
was allocated based on an independent appraisal as follows: (1) $510,000 to
acquired research and development, which is charged to the statement of
operations as a non-recurring item; (2) $160,000 to software technology being
amortized over 5 years; and (3) $2,048,000 to goodwill being amortized over 20
years.  Such allocation may be revised at a later date if events and
circumstances arise indicating a required change.  The results of RBI's
operations are consolidated with those of the Company effective the acquisition
date.

          Additional consideration may be payable to the former shareholders of
RBI in the form of shares of the Company's common stock.  This additional
consideration is contingent on RBI exceeding certain earnings levels related to
software products, as defined in the acquisition agreement, during the years
ended December 31, 1997 through 1999.  Any payments made under this contingency
will be accounted for as additional purchase price.

          The following table summarizes the unaudited pro forma combined
results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
assuming that the acquisition of RBI and the July 1995 divestiture of the Drug
Delivery Services Division had occurred on January 1, 1995:

          The above pro forma information excludes the $510,000 one-time charge
to earnings for acquired research and development, and the discontinued
operations of the Drug Delivery Services Division.


NOTE 3.         ACQUISITION OF THE HARDARDT GROUP:
                --------------------------------- 

          On October 1, 1996, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
shares of stock of HGB, Inc., doing business as The Hardardt Group ("THG"), for
$14 million in cash and 2,719,999 shares of the Company's common stock. THG is a
provider of clinical trials management and clinical monitoring services
predominantly in the U. S.  This acquisition will be recorded under the purchase
method of accounting.  The total purchase price will be allocated to the fair
value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The results of THG's
operations will be consolidated with those of the Company effective the
acquisition date.
 

NOTE 4.                BASIS OF PRESENTATION:
                       --------------------- 

          There have been no material changes in accounting policies from those
stated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1995; however, certain reclassifications have been made, see Note 6.

          Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-
K for the year ended December 31, 1995.  The statements for the periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited.  However, in the opinion of the
Company, the statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature
necessary for a fair presentation for such periods.  Results of operations for
the three- and nine-month periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
to be expected for any other interim period or for the year.


NOTE 5.             PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
                    --------------------------- 

          The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IBAH,
Inc. and its subsidiaries.   All material intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated.


NOTE 6.                  RECLASSIFICATIONS:
                         ----------------- 

          Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial
statements to conform to the current year presentation.  Primarily, all costs
passed-through to study sponsors have been accumulated as "reimbursed costs" on
the accompanying statements of operations.  These reimbursed costs are a
reduction from revenues to calculate net revenues.  In prior years, the only
reduction from revenues to calculate net revenues were independent
investigators' costs, and all other pass-through costs were included in direct
operating expenses.  This reclassification has been made to reflect only the net
revenues derived from service activities.

NOTE 7. CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS:
        ------------------------------------------------- 

          Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments which have
original maturities of less than ninety days.  At September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995, all of the Company's short-term investments are classified as
available for sale.  Therefore, any unrealized gains or losses should be
presented in a separate component of stockholders' equity.  At both September
30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, there were no significant unrealized gains or
losses.

          Investments are held at market value and at September 30, 1996 and
December 31, 1995 were classified as short-term. Cash, cash equivalents and
investments, consisted of the following:

NOTE 9.  BANK LOANS:
         ---------- 

          In August 1996, the Company renegotiated its banking relationship.
The Company now maintains a $5,000,000 credit facility with its bank.  This
facility is comprised of the previously existing equipment term loans and a line
of credit.  The availability under the line of credit is equal to $5,000,000
minus the outstanding balance on the term loans.  As of September 30, 1996, the
balance outstanding on the term loans was $1,756,000.  The interest rate under
the line of credit is the lender's prime plus 0.25%, as compared to prime plus
1.0% under the previously existing line of credit.  The interest rate under both
term loans is now the lender's prime plus 0.75%, as compared to prime plus 1.25%
and prime plus 0.75% for the two term loans prior to renegotiation.  In light of
the acquisition of THG (see Note 3), the Company is currently renegotiating the
covenants of this credit facility.

Item 2.        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
               -------------------------------------------------
               Condition and Results of Operations
               -----------------------------------

Results of Operations


Three months ended September 30, 1996 versus three months ended September 30,
1995

Revenues
- --------

Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 were $20,472,000, or 52%
higher than the 1995 comparable period.  Revenues include all service fees and
reimbursed costs that are charged to the Company's clients.

Reimbursed costs
- ----------------

Reimbursed costs were $5,369,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
or 26.2% of total revenues as compared to 19.9% for the same period in 1995.
The change in reimbursed costs as a percentage of total revenues is a result of
a change of mix in the business from period to period whereby more revenue was
recognized from contracts where costs were passed on to clients.  Reimbursed
costs include investigator costs related to payments made to independent
investigators, usually physicians, for the enrollment of patients for a specific
clinical study being conducted by the Company on behalf of a client. In
addition, reimbursed costs include such items as travel costs, over-night
delivery charges, clinical supplies and testing, and other expenses chargeable
to the client under the terms of the contract for the project.

Net revenues
- ------------

Net revenues for the third quarter were $15,103,000, an increase of 40% as
compared to the third quarter of 1995.  Increases in revenues were recorded by
all operating divisions as follows: Pharmaceutics - up 143%; International CRO -
up 10.9%; and US CRO - up 52.7%.  The acquisition of RBI accounted for 2% of the
consolidated revenue growth.  On a sequential quarter basis, net revenues
increased by 8.2% from the second quarter of 1996 to the third quarter.

Direct expenses
- ---------------

Direct expenses for the third quarter were $7,643,000 or 50.6% of net revenues
as compared to 51.5% of net revenues in the third quarter of 1995.  The
improvement in ratios of direct expenses as a percentage of net revenues was due
primarily to productivity improvements in the Pharmaceutics operation.  Direct
expenses include all compensation and other expenses associated with revenue
producing departments.

Selling, general & administrative
- ---------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the second quarter were
$7,071,000, or 46.8% of net revenues as compared to 51.0% for the comparable
1995 period.  The improvement as a percentage of net revenues on a quarter to
quarter basis was principally due to revenue growth in the Pharmaceutics and US
CRO Divisions without the concomitant growth in indirect expenses.  This
category of expense principally includes all administrative, selling, marketing
and space related expenses.

Non-recurring item - Acquired research and development
- ------------------------------------------------------

The acquisition of RBI was concluded in July 1996 and was treated as a purchase
for accounting purposes.  The $510,000 non-recurring charge to earnings
represents the portion of the RBI purchase price allocated to software research
and development.

Interest income (expense), net
- ------------------------------

Net interest income was $161,000 for the third quarter of 1996 as compared to
interest expense of $30,000 for the comparable period in 1995.  The improvement
from 1995 to 1996 was principally due to the receipt of net proceeds of $18.0
million in April 1996 related to a secondary public offering of the Company's
common stock.

Discontinued operations
- -----------------------

The Company divested its Drug Delivery Services Division in July 1995 and all
results associated with this business have been re-classified to this line for
financial reporting purposes.  There were no charges to discontinued operations
for the third quarter of 1995 or 1996.

Net income (loss)
- -----------------

Net income was $40,000, or break-even on an earnings per share basis for the
third quarter of 1996, as compared to a loss of $298,000, or $.02 loss per
share, in the third quarter of 1995.  Excluding the one time charge for acquired
research and development related to the acquisition of RBI, net income for the
third quarter of 1996 was $550,000, or $0.02 per share.



Nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended
September 30, 1995

Revenues
- --------

Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $55,984,000, an
increase of 40.6% over the comparable 1995 period.

Reimbursed costs
- ----------------

Reimbursed costs were $14,302,000, or 25.5% of total revenues for the nine month
period in 1996 as compared to the comparable period in 1995 of 22.6%.  The
increase as a percentage of net revenues was due to a change in the mix of
business to a slightly higher percentage of contracts in which costs are
billable to clients.

Net revenues
- ------------

Net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $41,682,000, an
increase of 35.2% over the nine month period in 1995.  All operating divisions
contributed to this increase in net revenue.  The acquisition of RBI accounted
for less that 1% of the consolidated revenue growth.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
Direct expenses
- ---------------

Direct expenses for nine months of 1996 were $21,404,000, or 51.4% of net
revenues as compared to 57.5% for the same period in 1995.  The improvement as a
percentage of net revenues was principally due to productivity improvements in
the Pharmaceutics and International CRO divisions.

Selling, general & administration
- ---------------------------------

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September
30, 1996 were $20,117,000, or 48.3% of net revenues, as compared to 51.3% in
1995.  The improvement as a percentage of net revenues was due principally to
the growth in the Pharmaceutics and International CRO divisions where revenue
volume growth exceeded the growth of selling, general and administrative
expenses.

Non-recurring item - Acquired research and development
- ------------------------------------------------------

The acquisition of RBI was concluded in July 1996 and was treated as a purchase
for accounting purposes.  The $510,000 non-recurring charge to earnings
represents the portion of the RBI purchase price allocated to software research
and development.

Interest income (expense), net
- ------------------------------

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $299,000, as
compared to interest expense for the comparable 1995 period of $122,000.  The
improvement from the 1995 period to the 1996 period was entirely due to
increased cash and cash equivalents on hand during the first nine months of 1996
resulting from a $6.9 million private placement in August 1995 and an $18.0
million secondary public offering in April 1996.

Discontinued operations
- -----------------------

The Company divested its Drug Delivery Services Division in July 1995 and all
results associated with this business have been re-classified to this line for
financial reporting purposes.  There were no charges to discontinued operations
for the first nine months of 1996 as compared to losses incurred in the
comparable period of 1995 of $1,129,000.

Net income (loss)
- -----------------

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $50,000, or break-even
on an earnings per share basis as compared to a net loss of $3,963,000, or $.28
per share for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Net loss for the 1995
period without losses associated with discontinued operations was $2,834,000, or
$.20 per share, as compared to 1996 net income, without the one-time charge for
acquired research and development related to the RBI acquisition, of $460,000,
or $.02 per share.

                                      -10-

Project backlog
- ---------------

Worldwide project backlog, net of all pass-through expenses, was $65.0 million
as of September 30, 1996, a decrease of $2.6 million from the backlog as of June
30, 1996.  The decrease in backlog from June 1996 was due primarily to a lower
level of signed new business contracts in Europe and no additions to backlog
from a contract for a large European project currently placed on hold status by
the client.  No additional contract value for this project, will be included in
backlog until the client makes a decision to proceed.  The above backlog
excludes that of The Hardardt Group ("THG") which was acquired on October 1,
1996, see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial Statements.  The net service fee
backlog of THG on October 1, 1996 is in excess of $25 million.

The Company believes that its backlog as of any date is not necessarily a
meaningful predictor of future results.  Contracts included in backlog are
subject to early termination, delay or change at any time by the client or
regulatory authorities.  Any such early terminations, delays or changes can
result from numerous factors.  There can be no assurances that the Company will
be able to fully realize all of its backlog as net revenues.

Divisional breakdown (third quarter) (see page 13)
- ------------------------------------              

Net revenues for the US CRO for the third quarter 1996 were $8,201,000, a growth
of 52.7% as compared to 1995.  Operating profit excluding the one-time charge to
earnings related to the RBI acquired research and development was $814,000,
almost a four-fold improvement over the 1995 period. The improvement in
operating profit was due to increased revenue volume.

International CRO net revenues for the third quarter of 1996 were $5,266,000, an
increase of 10.9% over 1995.  Operating loss for the third quarter of 1996 was
$694,000, or $459,000 higher than the same period in 1995.  The increase in the
operating loss from the prior period to the current period was due to the delay
of a major project in 1996 which has had a negative impact on the Division's
performance, as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses in
1996 resulting from the substantial growth in this Division.

The Pharmaceutics Division's performance continued to improve with net revenues
increasing to $1,636,000, a 143% increase, in the third quarter of 1996 as
compared to 1995.  Accordingly, operating profit was $269,000, the third
consecutive profitable quarter, as compared to a loss of $244,000 in the third
quarter of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 30, 1996, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of $19,152,000 as compared to $8,321,000 as of December 31, 1995.
Working capital as of September 30, 1996 was $21,977,000, as compared to
$4,640,000 as of December 31, 1995.  The increase in working capital was
principally due to a public offering of 3,000,000 shares of newly issued common
stock to institutional investors for net proceeds of approximately $18,000,000
on April 19, 1996.  These proceeds have been identified for use for capital
expenditures to upgrade information systems, additional working capital, and
other general corporate purposes, including possible use for strategic
acquisitions and the repayment of certain long-term debt.  On October 1, 1996,
the Company acquired The Hardardt Group valued at $31 million, of which
$14,000,000 was paid in cash.

The Company now maintains a $5,000,000 credit facility with its bank.  This
facility is comprised of the previously existing equipment term loans and a line
of credit.  The availability under the line of credit is equal to $5,000,000
minus the outstanding balance on the term loans.  As of September 30, 1996, the
balance outstanding on the term loans was $1,756,000.  In light of the
acquisition of The Hardardt Group (see Note 3 to Consolidated Financial
Statements), the Company is currently renegotiating the covenants of this credit
facility.

Management expects to satisfactorily renegotiate its credit facility covenant
and believes that it currently has sufficient working capital to fund its
operations.  However, because this statement is forward-looking, it necessarily
involves risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results may differ from
the Company's expectations if unanticipated events occur such as a dramatic
change in the work performed by either of its divisions, a large unforeseen
expense, or unexpected pressure to increase the rate of operational growth in
Europe beyond that which can be financed from continuing operations.

The Company may seek additional cash infusions to take advantage of business
opportunities as they arise, which could include future acquisitions.  The
Company intends to reinvest any positive cash flow from operations to support
operations and improve its competitive position.

The Company contracts with clients in various foreign currencies and typically
conducts its actual work with clients in a number of different countries for
each major contract.  Such activities can give rise to potential gains or losses
on specific transactions between countries where the work is conducted, which to
date have not been material.  The Company's International CRO represents
approximately 40% of worldwide CRO business.  Accordingly, there is a currency
risk either favorable or unfavorable when translating results into U.S. dollars.
