     This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends Exhibit 99.1 of, and restates in
its entirety, the Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 9, 1998.
    

Item 5.  Other Events.
         -------------

   
     On April 9, 1998, pursuant to a Confidential Term Sheet and Subscription
Agreements between Procept, Inc. ("Procept") and investors meeting certain
qualifications, Procept conducted a final closing (the "Final Closing") of an
aggregate of 98.025 units (the "Units"), each Unit consisting of 20,000 shares
of Common Stock, $0.01 par value (the "Common Stock"), and warrants to purchase
20,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, for
$100,000 per Unit representing aggregate gross proceeds to Procept of $9,802,500
(including an aggregate of $175,000 representing settlement of past
liabilities). As part of the Final Closing, The Aries Fund and the Aries
Domestic Fund, L.P. exchanged an aggregate of 30,060 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per share, and warrants to purchase
an aggregate of 328,314 shares of Procept Common Stock for an aggregate of
42.084 Units (i.e., 841,680 shares of Procept Common Stock and warrants to
purchase 841,680 shares of Procept Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.00
per share).
    
   
     The above numbers of shares of Common Stock are adjusted to reflect the
June 1, 1998 one-for- ten reverse split of Common Stock.
    
   
     This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed to provide pro forma
financial information of Procept at March 31, 1998, adjusted to reflect (i) the
above transaction and (ii) the merger of VacTex, Inc. ("VacTex") into a
subsidiary of Aquila Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Aquila") and the issuance of
Aquila common stock and debentures in exchange for VacTex common stock, which
occurred on April 13, 1998, in each case as if it had occurred as of March 31,
1998.
    
   
     As of April 9, 1998, Procept is in compliance with the criteria for
continued listing in The Nasdaq SmallCap Market (other than the minimum bid
price requirement, for which it has an exception) as set forth in the Nasdaq
Marketplace Rules.

                             NOTES TO BALANCE SHEETS



A.       Basis of Presentation

   
         The accompanying balance sheet and Pro-Forma balance sheet as of March
         31, 1998 are unaudited and have been prepared by Procept, Inc. (the
         "Company") in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
         The balance sheets, in the opinion of management, reflect all
         adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary
         for a fair presentation. These balance sheets should be read in
         conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended
         December 31, 1997, which are contained in the Company's 1997 Annual
         Report on Form 10-K.
    

B.       Shareholders' Equity

   
         As part of a unit offering, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,276,000
         shares of Common Stock on April 9, 1998, together with five-year
         warrants to purchase 1,276,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise
         price of $5.00 per share. This transaction has been reflected on the
         balance sheets under the heading "Pro-Forma Adjustments." These
         securities were sold for gross proceeds of $6,380,000. After expenses
         the Company received cash of $5,338,342. Expenses included settlement
         of a $50,000 accounts payable balance in exchange for 0.5 units and the
         payment of $991,658 in underwriting fees which was charged to
         additional paid-in capital. The Pro-Forma amounts have also been
         adjusted to reflect legal and accounting fees of $40,000 and deferred
         financing costs of $126,395, all of which have been charged to
         additional paid-in capital. The sale of 1,276,000 shares of Common
         Stock resulted in increases in Common Stock of $12,760 and additional
         paid-in capital of $6,367,240. Also on April 9, 1998, The Aries Fund
         and the Aries Domestic Fund, L.P. exchanged an aggregate of 30,060
         shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, representing all
         outstanding shares of preferred stock, and warrants to purchase an
         aggregate 328,314 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $10.90
         per share for units made up of 841,680 shares of Common Stock and
         five-year warrants to purchase 841,680 shares of Common Stock at an
         exercise price of $5.00 per share. The exchange of Series A Convertible
         Preferred Stock for Common Stock resulted in an increase in Common
         Stock of $8,417, a decrease in Preferred Stock of $301, and a decrease
         in additional paid-in capital of $8,116.

C.       Investment in VacTex/Aquila

   
         On April 13, 1998, VacTex, Inc. ("VacTex") was acquired by Aquila
         Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Aquila"). The Company's investment in VacTex
         of 300,000 shares of common stock was converted to 113,674 shares of
         Aquila common stock and $128,501 of 7% debentures. This transaction has
         been reflected on the balance sheets under the heading "Pro-Forma
         Adjustments." As a result, the Company is accounting for its investment
         under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting
         for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" as an available
         for sale security and marked it to market by recording an unrealized
         gain of $475,022 as part of Shareholders' Equity, based on Aquila's
         common stock closing price on April 13, 1998. The Company's investment
         in VacTex was originally accounted for under the cost method since it
         was a restricted security, did not have a readily determinable fair
         value, and Procept owned less than twenty percent of VacTex.
