Notes to Financial Statements
March 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note l - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310(b) of Regulation SB.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31,
1999. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB filed on March
30, 1999 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1998 (Commission File No. 0-
21721).
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain amounts related to the prior year have been reclassified to conform to
the current year presentation.
Note 2 - Net Income (Loss) per Share
- ------------------------------------
Net loss applicable to common stock per share has been calculated by dividing
the Company's net loss applicable to common stock by the weighted average number
of shares of the Company's outstanding common stock. Common stock equivalent
shares are not included in the per share calculations where the effect of their
inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
At March 31, 1999 and March 31, 1998, stock options and warrants to purchase
2,223,331 and 1,930,274 shares of common stock, respectively; Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock convertible into 2,835,333 and 2,620,000 shares of
common stock, respectively; and Class B Convertible Preferred Stock
convertible into 1,818,182 and 1,666,667 shares of common stock, respectively,
were not included in the calculation of basic/diluted earnings per share because
the effect of including these options, warrants and convertibles would have been
anti-dilutive.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The information set forth and discussed below for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998, are derived from the Condensed Financial Statements
included elsewhere herein. The financial information set forth and discussed
below is unaudited but, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of
such information. The Company's results of operations for a particular quarter
may not be indicative of results expected during other quarters or for the
entire year.
OVERVIEW
The Company is a fully integrated contract research organization ("CRO")
serving the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries
("sponsors"). The Company designs, manages and monitors clinical trials in
North America and Europe and provides integrated clinical and product
development services, including patient recruitment, data management,
biostatistical analysis, regulatory affairs, quality assurance and other
consultation services for its sponsors. The Company generates substantially all
of its revenue from services related to the clinical testing of new
pharmaceutical, medical device and biotechnology products. The Company
commenced operations in September 1992 and has achieved its growth through
internal development.
The Company's contracts for services generally vary from a few months to
several years in duration. A portion of the contract fee is typically required
to be paid when the contract is initiated, with the balance payable in
installments over the contract's duration. The installment payments are based
on performance or the achievement of milestones, relating payment to previously
negotiated events such as patient enrollment, patient completion or delivery of
databases, or periodic, based on personnel fees and actual expenses, typically
billed on a monthly basis.
In accordance with the terms of the Company's contracts, sponsors may
terminate or delay the performance of a contract, potentially causing the
Company to experience periods of excess capacity and reductions in service
revenue and net income. Trials may be terminated or delayed for a variety of
reasons, including unexpected or undesired results, production problems
resulting in shortages of the product or delays in supplying the product,
adverse patient reaction to the product, or the sponsor's decision to de-
emphasize a particular trial. If a trial is terminated, the contract generally
provides for a short continuation or wind-down period, as the Company manages
required investigator obligations through the termination date. Therefore, the
Company is typically entitled to all amounts owed for work performed through the
notice of termination and all costs associated with termination of the study.
In addition, contracts may require the payment of a separate early termination
fee, the amount of which usually declines as the trial progresses.
7
<PAGE>
Revenue from contracts is recognized as work is performed. Some contracts
contain a fixed price per patient plus either fixed or variable fees for
additional service components such as monitoring, project management,
advertising, travel, data management, consulting and report writing. Other
contracts are time and materials based. Payments received on contracts in
excess of amounts earned are recorded as deferred revenue.
The Company's net service revenue backlog consists of anticipated service
revenue from clinical trials and other services that have not been completed and
that generally specify completion dates within 24 months. To qualify as
"backlog" anticipated projects must be represented by contracts or letter
agreements or must be projects for which the Company has commenced a significant
level of effort based upon sponsor commitment and approval of a written budget.
Once work commences, service revenue is recognized over the life of the
contract. The Company's net service revenue backlog was approximately $5.1
million at March 31, 1999 as compared to $4.4 million at December 31, 1998. The
Company believes that its backlog at any given date is not necessarily a
meaningful predictor of future results, and no assurances can be given that the
Company will fully realize all of its backlog as service revenue.
Reimbursable costs can include patient and investigator stipends,
Institutional Review Board fees, laboratory fees, medical supplies, patient
recruitment advertising, travel and consulting fees. Reimbursable costs that
are paid to the Company directly by the client, and for which the Company does
not bear the risk of economic loss, are deducted from gross service revenue in
accordance with CRO industry practice.
Direct costs include project personnel costs and related allocated overhead
costs such as rent, supplies, postage, express delivery and telecommunications,
as well as study-related costs not reimbursed by clients. Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation and benefits for
marketing and administrative personnel, professional services, facility costs,
and other allocated overhead items.
QUARTERLY RESULTS
Quarterly operating results are subject to variation, and are expected to
continue to be subject to variation, as a result of factors such as delays in
initiating or completing significant drug development trials and any termination
of drug development trials. Delays and terminations are the result of actions
by sponsors or regulatory authorities and are not controllable by the Company.
Since a large part of the Company's operating costs are relatively fixed while
revenue is subject to fluctuation, minor variations in the commencement,
progress or completion of drug development trials may cause significant
variations in quarterly operating results.

========= =========
</TABLE>
Net service revenues decreased approximately $ 586,000 or 27%. The decrease
is primarily attributable to a decrease in the number of active trials and to
the increase in reimbursed costs.
Reimbursable costs increased to approximately 49% of gross revenue for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 23% of gross revenue for the
same period in 1998. This increase is a direct result of the contract mix for
which revenue was recognized during the respective periods.
Direct costs decreased approximately $770,000, or 42%. The decrease in
direct costs is due to a reduced level of clinics that were directly managed by
the Company in the first quarter of 1999, as well as reductions of full-time
study, patient and data management staff and related overhead that occurred
during 1998 as a result of contract cancellations. As a percentage of net
service revenues, direct costs were approximately 67% for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to approximately 84% for the same period in 1998.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately
$46,000 during the first quarter of 1999 as compared to the comparable period in
1998. Selling, general and administrative expenses were approximately 54% of net
service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to 38%
for the corresponding period in 1998. The increase
9
<PAGE>
in the percentage of selling, general and administrative expenses to net service
revenues is primarily a result of the decline in net service revenues.
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased approximately $4,000
during the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the comparable
period in 1998. Depreciation expense as a percentage of net service revenue was
approximately 6% for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to 4% for
the corresponding period in 1998. The increase in the percentage of depreciation
expense to net service revenues is primarily a result of the decline in net
service revenues.
Interest income decreased by approximately $8,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the comparable period in 1998. This is
primarily the result of the decrease in the funds available for investment.
Interest expense increased by approximately $25,000 during the three months
ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the comparable period in 1998.
The Company recorded no income tax benefit as a result of the net operating
losses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, due to the
uncertainty that the loss carryforwards will be utilized.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations and internal
growth with proceeds from private placements of equity securities, advances from
shareholders and borrowing arrangements under capital lease obligations and
lines of credit. Investing activities have consisted of capital expenditures,
primarily for leasehold improvements, information systems, furniture and office
equipment.
Typically, cash flows from contracts include a payment at the time a
contract commences and the balance in installments over the contract's duration,
in some cases on a milestone completion basis. Consequently, cash receipts do
not necessarily correspond to costs incurred and revenue recognized on
contracts. The Company's cash flow is influenced by changes in levels of
accounts receivable and deferred revenue. Accounts receivable decreased to
approximately $2,240,000 at March 31, 1999 from approximately $2,270,000 at
December 31, 1998. Deferred revenues decreased to approximately $630,000 at
March 31, 1999 from approximately $990,000 at December 31, 1998. Cash
collections from clinical study contracts for the three months ended March 31,
1999, totaled approximately $2,900,000 as compared with approximately $3,000,000
for the corresponding period in 1998.
Net cash flow used in operating activities was approximately $626,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, as compared to approximately $614,000 in
the corresponding period in 1998. The continuation of the negative trend in net
cash used in operations in 1999 is primarily attributable to the net loss and
the decline in deferred revenue, which occurred in the three months ended March
31, 1999. Net cash decreased by approximately $490,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999. The net cash operating loss for the first quarter of 1998
was primarily financed with the proceeds from a working capital line of credit
and short-term investments.
10
<PAGE>
Investing activities are attributable to purchases of property and
equipment and they increased to approximately $37,000 in the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to approximately $11,000 in the comparable period of
1998.
Management believes that its existing capital resources, together with cash
flows from operations and borrowing capacity under its working capital line of
credit, will be sufficient to fund its operations in 1999. Should anticipated
growth in contract backlog levels and net service revenue not occur as expected
during the remainder of 1999 or should pending projects be delayed or cancelled,
the Company will be required to seek additional external financing in early
2000. Such external financing might be in the form of public or private
issuances of equity or debt securities or bank financing. There can be no
assurance that such financing can be obtained or obtained on terms acceptable to
the Company. Regardless of the availability of external financing, the Company
intends to continue to investigate strategies to preserve working capital. Such
strategies may include deferring payment of future quarterly dividends on its
Class B Preferred Stock or negotiating to pay such dividends in securities of
the Company, rather than cash. In addition, the Company may acquire in the
future businesses to expand its contract backlog and to enhance its therapeutic
expertise. Any such acquisition would also require additional external
financing. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available on
terms acceptable to the Company.
YEAR 2000
Information systems are an integral part of the services the Company
provides. Since many computer and software systems were designed to handle dates
with just two digits to represent the year applicable to a transaction, these
systems may not operate properly when the last two digits of the year become
"00". For example, on January 1, 2000, these systems may interpret "00" as the
year 1900 not 2000. If the computer equipment and software used in the operation
of the Company do not correctly recognize date information when the year changes
to 2000, there could be an adverse impact on the Company's operations.
The Company began its assessment of the Year 2000 issue from an internal
perspective in late 1997. The Company decided to change its information
technology ("IT") systems including those relating to clinical operations, data
management operations and financial operations, to Year 2000 compliant software
applications on an Oracle database platform in the first quarter of 1998. These
new systems were implemented to improve management's control of the organization
and increase operating efficiency. The installation of these software systems
was substantially completed by December 31, 1998, and they are currently in
production. One of the software applications will require a minor upgrade to a
new version release in order to be certified by Oracle to be Year 2000
compliant. This upgrade is expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. The
Company estimates that it has spent approximately $750,000 on its hardware and
software systems to accommodate the Oracle database and related software
applications. These expenditures were financed through operating and capital
leases.
The Company has also reviewed and tested its non-IT systems such as fax
machines and telephone systems without experiencing any material failures. The
Company intends to perform
11
<PAGE>
an integrated systems test in the third quarter to assure itself that all IT and
non-IT systems will be fully capable of handling the Year 2000 issue.
The Company is in the process of contacting its principal clients
concerning the state of their Year 2000 readiness. Until that effort is
completed, the Company cannot be assured that those other systems will be Year
2000 compliant on time and is unable to estimate the impact of such a failure.
The Company believes that its most likely worst case Year 2000 scenarios
would relate to problems with the systems of unrelated third parties rather than
the Company's internal systems or those of its clients. It is clear that the
Company has the least ability to assess and remediate the Year 2000 problems of
third parties. The Company believes the risks are greatest with infrastructure
(e.g. electricity supply and water service), telecommunications and
transportation systems.
The Company is not in a position to identify or to avoid all possible
scenarios; however, the Company is currently assessing scenarios. This
contingency planning will continue through 1999 as the Company learns more about
the preparations and vulnerabilities of third parties regarding Year 2000
issues. Due to the large number of variables involved, the Company cannot
provide an estimate of the damage it might suffer if any of these scenarios were
to occur.
As we get closer to December 31, 1999, certain of the Company's customers
may decide to delay starting or awarding new clinical trials as a part of a
general restriction of awarding new clinical trials. Should any of the
Company's customers adopt such a strategy, this would have a material adverse
impact of the Company's future operating results.
Based on currently available information, management does not believe that
the Year 2000 issues discussed above related to internal systems will have a
material adverse impact on the Company's financial condition or overall trends
in results of operations. However, it is uncertain to what extent the Company
may be affected by such matters. In addition, there can be no assurance that
the failure to ensure Year 2000 capability by a customer or other third party
would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or
overall trends in results of operations.
INFORMATION ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made in this Form 10-QSB, in other SEC filings or
written materials, or orally by the Company or it representatives may constitute
"forward-looking" statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
The Company notes that a variety of factors could cause the Company's actual
results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results
expressed in the Company's forward-looking statements. The risks and
uncertainties that may affect the operations, performance, development and
results of the Company's business include the factors discussed in "Risk
Factors" under Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
