and  supplement  the  statement on Schedule 13D filed with respect to the Common
Stock, $0.001 par value (the "Common Stock"), of Applied Analytical  Industries,
Inc.,  a Delaware  corporation  (the  "Company"),  as most  recently  amended by
Amendment  No. 2 thereto  filed  November  18, 1998 (as amended,  the  "Schedule
13D"). Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed, for purposes of this Statement,
to beneficially own Common Stock through the Limited Partnerships. Goldman Sachs
and GS Group each disclaims  beneficial  ownership of Common Stock  beneficially
owned by the Limited Partnerships to the extent of partnership  interests in the
Limited Partnerships held by persons other than Goldman Sachs, GS Group or their
affiliates. In addition,  Goldman Sachs and GS Group may be deemed, for purposes
of this Statement, to beneficially own Common Stock held in client accounts with
respect to which  Goldman  Sachs or  employees  of Goldman  Sachs have voting or
investment discretion, or both ("Managed Accounts").  Goldman Sachs and GS Group
each disclaims  beneficial  ownership of Common Stock held in Managed  Accounts.
Goldman Sachs and GS Group may also be deemed,  for purposes of this  Statement,
to  beneficially  own from time to time Common Stock acquired in ordinary course
trading activities by Goldman Sachs. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used but not defined  herein shall have the same meaning  ascribed to them
in the Schedule 13D.

     This  Amendment No. 3 is being filed to report a decrease in the percentage
of the outstanding  Common Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by
certain of the Filing  Persons,  which  change was as a result of an increase in
the number of shares of Common Stock  reported to be  outstanding by the Company
and a decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock held in Managed Accounts.

- ------------------
     /1/ Neither the  present  filing nor  anything  contained  herein  shall be
construed as an admission that any Filing Person  constitutes a "person" for any
purposes other than Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
