1.    ORGANIZATION

      Lark Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), was
formed on November 16, 1994, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SuperCorp Inc.
("SuperCorp"), for the purpose of merging with Lark Sequencing Technologies,
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Sequencing"), as outlined in a merger agreement
("Merger Agreement") entered into by SuperCorp and Sequencing on October 28,
1994. SuperCorp approved the Merger Agreement on September 5, 1995 and by the
stockholders of Sequencing on September 12, 1995. As a consequence of the
merger, all of the shares of common and preferred stock of Sequencing were
exchanged for 1,800,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company with a par value
of $0.001 per share and the 200,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company held
by SuperCorp were distributed to the shareholders of SuperCorp. The Company has
succeeded to all of the business previously undertaken by Sequencing. Lark
provides specialized laboratory services for DNA sequencing to biotechnology
researchers.

2.    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to these rules and regulations. The
accompanying unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments
which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods covered and for the financial condition of
the Company at the date of the interim balance sheet. All such adjustments are
of a recurring nature. Results for the interim periods are not necessarily
indicative of results for the year.

      For financial reporting purposes, the merger of the Company and Sequencing
has been accounted for as a recapitalization of Sequencing, and the historical
financial statements of Sequencing prior to the merger became the financial
statements of the Company.

101"), which the Company is required to adopt in the first quarter of 2000. In
March 2000, the SEC issued SAB 101A and temporarily delayed adoption. SAB 101
clarifies how existing revenue recognition rules should be applied. The Company
is currently evaluating their revenue recognition policies and the effect of
adoption.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

supplies directly associated with each project. Indirect costs include such
items as general supplies, laboratory management, depreciation, and costs to
operate the lab. These costs are applied to each project on the basis of direct
labor hours incurred for the project, up to the point of measurement, such as
the end of an accounting period. At March 31, 2000, work in process inventory
was $158,730.

4.    NOTES PAYABLE

      On December 31, 1999, the Company renewed its revolving line of credit and
extended the maturity to December 31, 2000. Under the terms of its revolving
line, the company may borrow up to $600,000 at the bank's prime rate (8.75% at
March 31, 2000) plus 2%. The borrowing base of this line of credit is equal to
80% of certain accounts receivable that are no more than 90 days old. At March
31, 2000 the Company had $366,787 outstanding under this line. Under the terms
of the revolving line of credit agreement, the Company is required to maintain
certain financial ratios and a specific level of net worth. During the quarterly
measuring period ending March 31, 2000, the Company was not in compliance with
one of the ratio requirements of the covenants but obtained a waiver from the
bank for the period ending March 31, 2000.

      On March 13, 1998, the Company arranged an advised discretionary credit
line for the financing of equipment with the same bank used for the new
revolving credit line. Under the terms of this discretionary credit, the company
may borrow up to $600,000 secured by the equipment purchased with the proceeds
of the borrowings. This discretionary credit line provides for borrowings of up
to 75% of the purchase price of equipment at the bank's prime plus 1.5%. This
credit line provides for repayment terms up to 36 months and matured on May 31,
1999. On January 5, 1999, the Company borrowed $22,000 against this line of
credit for the purchase of lab equipment. As, of March 31, 2000 a balance of
$13,444 remained on this loan.

      On July 13, 1999, the Company arranged a $200,000 term loan from the same
bank that extended the revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the loan,
the Company was to make substantially equal payments over a six-month period
ending with the last payment on January 15, 2000. On January 13, 2000 the
Company made the final payment on this loan and arranged for the release of the
personal guarantees, which secured this term loan.

      On March 31, 2000, the Company arranged a $75,000 term loan from the same
bank that extended the revolving credit facility. Under the terms of the loan,
the Company is to make substantially equal payments over a nine-month period
ending with the last payment on November 18, 2000. Interest is payable monthly
at the bank's prime rate (8.75% at March 31, 2000) plus 2%. At March 31, 2000,
the Company owed $66,667 under this note.

5.    EARNINGS PER SHARE

      The following table sets forth the weighted average shares outstanding for
the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

                                                           For the three months
                                                             ending March 31,

      Options to purchase 248,000 and 293,874 shares of common stock were
outstanding during 1999 and 2000 respectively, but were not included in the
computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would be
antidilutive.

6.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS

      During July of 1999, certain stockholders provided $250,000 in personal
guarantees as collateral for a $200,000 term loan for the Company. In exchange
for their guarantees, these stockholders received warrants to purchase a total
of 250,000 shares of the Companies common stock. One half of these warrants were
redeemable if the underlying loan was paid within terms. On January 13, 2000,
the Company redeemed 125,000 warrant shares at $.25 per share. The remaining
warrants are not redeemable by the company and exercisable from June 30, 1999
until June 30, 2002. As of March 31, 2000, 50,000 of these warrants had been
exercised.

      During February and March 2000, options to purchase 90,233 shares of
common stock were exercised at various prices, ranging from $.47 to $2.00 per
share.

PATENT LICENSE AGREEMENT

      Effective June 15, 1995, the Company entered into an exclusive patent
sub-license agreement with another biotech company. The agreement grants to the
Company an exclusive license to certain "Licensed Patent Rights" of this third
party and requires the Company to perform research and development efforts as
defined in the agreement. The Company is required to pay the third party a
royalty of 25% to 50% of all consideration the Company receives as a result of
sales of licensed products and licensed processes or a sub-license or assignment
of the Company's rights under the agreement. If the Company does not meet the
research and development milestones as defined in the agreement, or is unable to
successfully commercialize the results of the research and development efforts,
the agreement will terminate. Otherwise, the agreement will terminate upon the
dissolution of the Company or the expiration of the "Licensed Patent Rights".
The Company may also terminate the agreement with 60 days written notice to the
third party.

SPONSORED RESEARCH CONTRACT

      On October 6, 1999, the Company announced the restructuring of its
senescence technology development program. Sennes Drug Innovations, Inc.
(Sennes), the Company's licensor for the senescence technology, which originated
with a third party, recently appointed a new president. This appointment was
allowed by the settlement of various technology transfer issues between the
third party and Sennes. This new president will represent the Sennes
technologies, including the senescence gene technology licensed to the Company,
to third parties. The Company's license for senescence technologies remains
intact.

      The senescence technology includes genes involved in regulating the four
senescence gene pathways. Senescence is the normal physiological process that
controls cellular immortality. Immortal cells are closely related to cancer and
can add insights into aging and abnormal development.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

      The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
the Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes herein, and is qualified
entirely by the foregoing and by other more detailed financial information
appearing elsewhere.

GENERAL

      Lark Technologies, Inc. ("Lark" or "the Company") is a successor in
interest, through a merger effected in September 1995, to Lark Sequencing
Technologies, Inc., which was incorporated under the business corporation laws
of the State of Delaware on May 4, 1990.

      Lark is a leading molecular biology Contract Research Organization (CRO)
providing services to the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries worldwide.
Lark's service portfolio consists of various DNA sequencing and molecular
biology services as follows:

o     AUTOMATED DNA SEQUENCING SERVICES. Lark applies automated sequencing
      techniques to generate high throughput DNA sequence and fast turnaround
      screening information, including genome-sequencing projects.

o     GENETIC STABILITY TESTING SERVICES. Lark's genetic stability testing
      services are used to characterize Master Cell Banks, Manufacturers Working
      Cell Banks and PostProduction Cell Samples from bacterial, yeast and cell
      cultures. Genetic stability testing is used to analyze production strains
      stability and demonstrate that the expression system has not undergone any
      mutations or rearrangements that would affect the integrity of the
      product. This service assists companies producing genetically manufactured
      products to optimize production yields, determine product purity, and
      support regulatory submissions. This service was introduced in late 1996.

o     QUANTITATIVE POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) SERVICES. Lark uses
      Quantitative PCR techniques to measure the distribution and expression of
      target DNA or RNA in a customer's sample from cultured cells,
      microorganisms, or tissues such as brain, lung, liver and kidneys.

o     MANUAL DNA SEQUENCING SERVICES. Lark uses manual sequencing techniques for
      projects that require greater than 99.9% accuracy. These techniques are
      useful for DNA sequence information that is used for patent applications,
      FDA submissions or the identification of genetic mutations.

o     MOLECULAR BIOLOGY SERVICES. Lark offers a variety of molecular biology
      services including library screening, library prescreening, southern blot
      analysis, subcloning, plasmid preparation and PCR amplification. Lark
      consults with its customers to customize a broad range of molecular
      biology projects.

o     DIFFERENTIAL DISPLAY SERVICE. Lark uses differential display techniques
      for analyzing differences in gene expression caused by the introduction of
      various drug compounds, viruses or stimulatory factors. Differential
      display can be useful in identifying novel genes and gene functions. By
      understanding how and when a gene is expressed or repressed, targeted
      interventions can be developed to maximize results and minimize harmful
      side effects. This service is used to discover novel genes as well as to
      characterize pharmaceutical effects.

      In 1995 Lark undertook a senescence gene discovery program for its own
account. Although several genes were discovered in this program, lack of gene
functionality coupled with license issues caused Lark to reduce its funding for
this program. Lark continues to work towards license issue resolution and
eventual potential sublicense agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      GROSS REVENUES. Gross revenues decreased by 3.3% from $1,242,849 to
$1,201,793 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. This decrease in revenues was primarily caused by the two-week
disruption to operations during the relocation to the Company's new facility.

      COSTS OF SERVICES. Costs of services consist primarily of labor and
laboratory supplies. Costs of services decreased 11% from $843,921 to $750,747
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively. This
decrease was mainly due to the decrease in revenues and increased operating
efficiencies. Costs of services as a percentage of revenue were 67.9% and 62.5%
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

      SALES, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Sales, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and related costs,
depreciation, amortization, legal and professional costs, rent, travel, and
advertising. Sales, general and administrative expenses decreased 22.6% from
$572,420 to $443,197 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The decrease was mainly due to the reduction of employees and
related expenses in these departments. Sales, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenue were 46.1% and 36.9% for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs decreased 100%
from $8,415 to $0 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The decrease in research and development costs was attributable to
the cancellation of sponsored research agreement project. Research and
development costs as a percentage of revenue were .7% and 0% for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000, respectively.

      VARIABILITY OF FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS. For the first quarter of 2000,
the Company continued the trend it started in 1999 toward a broader base of
customers and services. The Company improved its operating results in the first
quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. The improvement in
operating results for this quarter is especially significant considering the
earnings for first quarter of 2000 were negatively impacted by approximately
$62,000 of non recurring expenses associated with the move to its new
headquarters during January of 2000. The company continues to seek large
contracts and diversify its customer base.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Operating cash flow was ($169,545) and
$647,734 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The positive operating cash flows for the quarter ending March 31,
2000 occurred primarily as a result of increased customer deposits and reduced
outstanding accounts receivable.

      During the first quarter of 1999, the Company borrowed $22,000 from its
current bank under the terms of its advised discretionary credit line. See note
4 to financial statements for further details of the companies borrowing
facilities.

      During the first quarter of 2000, the Company increased its line of credit
from $450,000 to $600,000 and extended the expiration date through December 31,
2000. In January of 2000, the Company paid off a term loan originally made in
July 1999 in the amount of $200,000. Then, on March 31, 2000, the Company
borrowed $75,000 under a second term loan payable in monthly installments and
maturing November 18, 2000.

      MATERIAL COMMITMENTS. The Company currently has no outstanding material
commitments.
