(1)      The net loss of $29,690,000 for the year ended December 31, 1998,
         includes an $18.5 million reserve for litigation damages with respect
         to the patent infringement litigation with SIBIA.

(2)      The net loss of $1.4 million for the year ended December 31, 1994
         includes an extraordinary gain of approximately $159,000 from the early
         extinguishment of a debt obligation.

(3)      Computed as described in Note 2 of notes to financial statements.

(4)      In order to stay execution pending appeal of the $18.0 million judgment
         obtained by SIBIA, in March 1999, the Company deposited $18.5 million
         in escrow to secure payment of the judgment in the event the Company
         were to lose the appeal. Such $18.5 million was classified, as of
         December 31, 1998, as "restricted cash noncurrent" and the Company's
         "cash and cash equivalents" was reduced by $18.5 million.

The Company has not paid any dividends since its inception and does not
anticipate paying any dividends on its Common Stock in the foreseeable future.

1993 Stock Option Plan

         The 1993 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of options to
purchase shares of Common Stock to officers, employees and consultants of the
Company. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
pursuant to the 1993 Stock Option Plan is 666,667 (plus any shares that are the
subject of canceled or forfeited awards). Effective as of May 10, 1996, the 1993
Stock Option Plan was replaced by the 1996 Incentive Plan with respect to all
future awards to the Company's employees and consultants. See " -- 1996
Incentive Plan."

         The 1993 Stock Option Plan is administered by the Compensation
Committee which is presently comprised of Harold First, Jack G. Wasserman and
Nicole Vitullo.

         Under the 1993 Stock Option Plan, the Compensation Committee may
establish with respect to each option granted such vesting provisions as it
determines to be appropriate or advisable. In general, options granted under the
1993 Stock Option Plan have a ten-year term, and such options vest or have
vested over four-year periods at various rates. Unexercised options
automatically terminate upon the termination of the holder's relationship with
the Company. However, the Compensation Committee may accelerate a vesting
schedule and/or extend the time for exercise of all or any part of an option in
the event of the termination of the holder's relationship with the Company. In
addition, the 1993 Stock Option Plan includes a provision authorizing the
Compensation Committee to adjust the number of shares of Common Stock available
for grant, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards
thereunder and the per share exercise price thereof in the event of any stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization, merger or certain other events. The
Compensation Committee may terminate the



                                       50
<PAGE>


1993 Stock Option Plan at any time but any such termination will not adversely
affect options previously granted.

         Options granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan are nontransferable
except by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

         During 1998, there were no stock options granted under the 1993 Stock
Option Plan.

         As of March 19, 1999, an aggregate of 445,976 shares of Common Stock
were subject to outstanding stock options granted under the 1993 Stock Option
Plan. As of March 19, 1999, options to purchase 423,808 shares were exercisable
at prices ranging from $1.37 to $3.51 per share.

         The Company has registered the shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options granted under the 1993 Stock Option Plan pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-8.

Stock Option Agreements

         The Company has granted non-qualified stock options to directors,
officers, employees and consultants of the Company by means of stock option
agreements. During 1998, there were no stock options granted pursuant to stock
option agreements. As of March 19, 1999, an aggregate of 583,923 shares of
Common Stock were subject to outstanding stock options granted under stock
option agreements, and options to purchase 501,035 shares under such option
agreements were exercisable at prices ranging from $1.50 to $6.75 per share.

         The Company has registered the shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options granted under such stock option agreements pursuant to a registration
statement on Form S-8.

1996 Incentive Plan

         The Company's 1996 Incentive Plan (the "1996 Incentive Plan") was
adopted by the Board of Directors and approved by the stockholders of the
Company in May 1996. The 1996 Incentive Plan replaced the 1993 Stock Option
Plan, effective as of May 10, 1996, with respect to all future awards by the
Company to its employees and consultants. However, while all future awards will
be made under the 1996 Incentive Plan, awards made under the 1993 Stock Option
Plan will continue to be administered in accordance with the 1993 Stock Option
Plan. See "Incentive Plans -- 1993 Stock Option Plan." In December 1996, the
Board of Directors amended the 1996 Incentive Plan to (i) increase the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that may be the subject of awards under the
1996 Incentive Plan from 333,334 to 833,334 (plus any shares that are the
subject of canceled or forfeited awards) and (ii) provide for the grant of stock
options to directors of the Company. The stockholders of the Company approved
such amendments to the 1996 Incentive Plan in June 1997. In December 1997, the
Board of Directors amended the 1996 Incentive Plan to increase the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock that may be the subject of awards under the
1996 Incentive Plan from 833,334 to 1,833,334 (plus


                                       51
<PAGE>


any shares that are the subject of canceled or forfeited awards). The
stockholders of the Company approved this amendment to the 1996 Incentive Plan
in June 1998.

         The 1996 Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee,
which has the power and authority under the 1996 Incentive Plan to determine
which of the Company's employees, consultants and directors will receive awards,
the time or times at which awards will be made, the nature and amount of the
awards, the exercise or purchase price, if any, of such awards, and such other
terms and conditions applicable to awards as it determines to be appropriate or
advisable.

         Options granted under the 1996 Incentive Plan may be either
non-qualified stock options or options intended to qualify as incentive stock
options under Section 422 of the Code. The term of incentive stock options
granted under the 1996 Incentive Plan cannot extend beyond ten years from the
date of grant (or five years in the case of a holder of more than 10% of the
total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company on the date
of grant).

         Shares of Common Stock may either be awarded or sold under the 1996
Incentive Plan and may be issued or sold with or without vesting and other
restrictions, as determined by the Compensation Committee.

         Under the 1996 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may establish
with respect to each option or share awarded or sold such vesting provisions as
it determines to be appropriate or advisable. Unvested options will
automatically terminate within a specified period of time following the
termination of the holder's relationship with the Company and in no event beyond
the expiration of the term. The Company may either repurchase unvested shares of
Common Stock at their original purchase price upon the termination of the
holder's relationship with the Company or cause the forfeiture of such shares,
as determined by the Compensation Committee. All options granted and shares sold
under the 1996 Incentive Plan to employees of the Company may, in the discretion
of the Compensation Committee, become fully vested upon the occurrence of
certain corporate transactions if the holders thereof are terminated in
connection therewith.

         The exercise price of options granted and the purchase price of shares
sold under the 1996 Incentive Plan are determined by the Compensation Committee,
but may not, in the case of incentive stock options, be less than the fair
market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant (or, in the case of
incentive stock options granted to a holder of more than 10% of the total
combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company on the date of
grant, 110% of such fair market value), as determined by the Compensation
Committee.

         The Compensation Committee may also grant, in combination with
non-qualified stock options and incentive stock options, stock appreciation
rights ("Tandem SARs"), or may grant Tandem SARs as an addition to outstanding
non-qualified stock options. A Tandem SAR permits the participant, in lieu of
exercising the corresponding option, to elect to receive any appreciation in the
value of the shares subject to such option directly from the Company in shares
of Common Stock. The amount payable by the Company upon the exercise of a Tandem
SAR is

                                       52
<PAGE>

measured by the difference between the market value of such shares at the time
of exercise and the option exercise price. Generally, Tandem SARs may be
exercised at any time after the underlying option vests. Upon the exercise of a
Tandem SAR, the corresponding portion of the related option must be surrendered
and cannot thereafter be exercised. Conversely, upon exercise of an option to
which a Tandem SAR is attached, the Tandem SAR may no longer be exercised to the
extent that the corresponding option has been exercised. Nontandem stock
appreciation rights ("Nontandem SARs") may also be awarded by the Compensation
Committee. A Nontandem SAR permits the participant to elect to receive from the
Company that number of shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value
equal to the excess of the market value of the shares covered by the Nontandem
SAR on the date of exercise over the aggregate base price of such shares as
determined by the Compensation Committee. With respect to both Tandem and
Nontandem SARs, the Compensation Committee may determine to cause the Company to
settle its obligations arising out of the exercise of such rights in cash or a
combination of cash and shares, in lieu of issuing shares only.

         Under the 1996 Incentive Plan, the Compensation Committee may also
award tax offset payments to assist employees in paying income taxes incurred as
a result of their participation in the 1996 Incentive Plan. The amount of the
tax offset payments will be determined by applying a percentage established from
time to time by the Compensation Committee to all or a portion of the taxable
income recognizable by the employee upon: (i) the exercise of a non-qualified
stock option or an SAR; (ii) the disposition of shares received upon exercise of
an incentive stock option; (iii) the lapse of restrictions on restricted shares;
or (iv) the award of unrestricted shares.

         The number and class of shares available under the 1996 Incentive Plan
may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee to prevent dilution or enlargement
of rights in the event of various changes in the capitalization of the Company.
At the time of grant of any award, the Compensation Committee may provide that
the number and class of shares issuable in connection with such award be
adjusted in certain circumstances to prevent dilution or enlargement of rights.

         The Board of Directors may suspend, amend, modify or terminate the 1996
Incentive Plan. However, the Company's stockholders must approve any amendment
that would (i) materially increase the aggregate number of shares issuable under
the 1996 Incentive Plan, (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to
employees under the 1996 Incentive Plan or (iii) materially modify the
requirements for eligibility to participate in the 1996 Incentive Plan. Awards
made prior to the termination of the 1996 Incentive Plan shall continue in
accordance with their terms following such termination. No amendment, suspension
or termination of the 1996 Incentive Plan shall adversely affect the rights of
an employee or consultant in awards previously granted without such employee's
or consultant's consent.

         As of March 19, 1999, an aggregate of 1,620,044 shares of Common Stock
were subject to outstanding stock options granted under the 1996 Incentive Plan.
As of March 19, 1999, stock options to purchase 314,088 shares were exercisable
at prices ranging from $2.69 to $14.00 per share.

                                       53

         The Company has registered the shares issuable upon exercise of stock
options granted or which may be granted under the 1996 Incentive Plan pursuant
to a registration statement on Form S-8.

401(k) Plan

         In November, 1993, the Company adopted a tax-qualified employee savings
and retirement plan (the "401(k) Plan") covering the Company's employees.
Generally, employees may elect to contribute to the 401(k) Plan, through payroll
deductions, up to 20% of their compensation for services rendered in any year,
not to exceed a statutorily prescribed annual limit. The trustee under the
401(k) Plan, at the direction of each participant, invests the assets of the
401(k) Plan in any of seven investment options. The 401(k) Plan is intended to
qualify under Section 401 of the Code so that contributions by employees to the
401(k) Plan, and income earned on plan contributions, are not taxable to
employees until withdrawn. The Company made an aggregate matching contribution
for the year ended December 31, 1998 of approximately $90,000 to participants
under the 40l(k) Plan.
