                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

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.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

      In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements ("SAB
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

Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the 2000
presentation.

3.    INVENTORY

      Finished goods inventory consists of the direct and indirect costs to
produce quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) assays held for resale. At
June 30, 2000 finished goods inventory was $149,656.

      Work in process inventory includes the direct and indirect costs
associated with projects that had been started but not yet completed at June 30,
2000. Direct costs include such items as the cost of labor, reagents and
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

                                       4
<PAGE>
labor hours incurred for the project, up to the point of measurement, such as
the end of an accounting period. At June 30, 2000, work in process inventory was
$78,380.

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 (9.5% at
June 30, 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. On June
30, 2000 the Company had $343,574 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. As of June 30, 2000,
the Company was in compliance with all required financial ratios and specific
net worth requirements.

      On March 13, 1998, the Company arranged an advised discretionary credit
line for the financing of equipment with the same bank used for the line of
credit described above. Under the terms of this discretionary credit, the
Company was able to borrow up to $600,000 secured by the equipment purchased
with the proceeds of the borrowings. This discretionary credit line provided for
the borrowings of up to 75% of the purchase price of equipment at the bank's
prime plus 1.5%. This credit line provided 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 June 30,
2000, a balance of $11,611 remained on this 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
with the last payment on November 18, 2000. Interest is payable monthly at the
bank's prime rate plus 2%. On June 30, 2000, the Company owed $41,667 under this
note.

      Options to purchase 250,240 shares of common stock were outstanding during
1999 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 the quarter, options to purchase 29,559 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

                                       5
<PAGE>
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, 1998, the Company announced the restructuring of its
senescence technology development program. Sennes Drug Innovations, Inc., 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.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      The Company is involved in various legal proceedings that have arisen in
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, based on
consultations with counsel and a review of the facts, the ultimate liability to
the Company will not have a material effect on the financial position of the
Company.

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, shotgun
          sequencing and shotgun library construction services.

      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
          a production strain's 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   ARRAY SERVICES. Lark uses automated PCR techniques to produce
          molecular materials used in the construction of biochip arrays.

      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.

                                       7

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      GROSS REVENUES. Gross revenues increased 48% from $1,001,089 to $1,484,134
for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Gross
revenue increased 19% from $2,243,939 to $2,685,927 for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 respectively. The increase in revenues for the
quarter and six months was due significant increases in all of the segments of
the Company's current business model.

      COSTS OF SERVICES. Costs of services consist primarily of labor and
laboratory supplies. Costs of services increased 64% from $579,211 to $951,941
for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Costs of
services increased 18% from $1,445,027 to $1,702,687 for the six-month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. Part of the increase in costs of
services was due to the additional variable costs necessary to produce the
additional revenue for the quarter. Another part of the increase was the
presence of three new positions during second quarter of 2000 that did not exist
during the second quarter of 1999. These new positions were: a director of
quality assurance, a director of bioinformatics and an administrative support
person. Costs of services as a percentage of revenue were 58% and 64% for the
three-month periods ending June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively and 64% and 63%
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 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 increased 5% from
$458,768 to $482,951 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. The increase was mainly due to recruitment costs of approximately
$49,000 incurred to hire a new sales representative in the northeast region of
the US and new personnel in the UK. Sales, general and administrative expenses
decreased 8% from $1,009,538 to $926,148 for the six-month period ended June 30,
1999 and 2000, respectively. These decreases were due, in part, to the
reclassifications referenced in the cost of services section (above) and the
departure of the Company's previous President in November 1999. Sales, general
and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenue were 46% and 33% for the
three-month and 45% and 34% for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and
2000, respectively.

      RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Research and development costs changed from
(8,811) to $0 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000,
respectively. Research and development costs changed from ($395) to $0 for the
six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The credits in 1999 were
due to reclassified expenses for website development costs. The change in
research and development costs was attributable to the suspension of the
sponsored research agreement project.

      VARIABILITY OF FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS In 1998, the Company adopted a new
business model that broadened its services and expanded its customer base. The
favorable results reported for the third quarter of 1999 reflected the first
profitable quarter for this business model. That success was continued in the
fourth quarter of 1999 and was interrupted, in the first quarter of 2000, only
by the extra expenses and disruption incurred to relocate the Company to its new
headquarters and lab facility in Houston during January of 2000. The profitable
trend continued into the second quarter of 2000 although earnings were somewhat
lower due to the recruiting expenses explained in the sales, general and
administrative section above. As the Company continues to grow, additional
expenses will be required to add the personnel and equipment necessary to grow
the Company even faster. The Company continues to seek large contracts and
diversify its customer base.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES. Operating cash flow was ($235,066) and
$372,509 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
The positive operating cash flow for the quarter ending June 30, 2000 occurred
primarily as a result of the net income reported for the period and net increase
in customer deposits. During this quarter, the Company managed to reduce trade
payables approximately $119,000 with funds provided from collections of accounts
receivable and other sources.

      On December 31, 1999, the Company renewed its revolving loan facility
through December 31, 2000, and may now borrow up to $600,000 under the terms of
the new credit line. On March 31, 2000, the Company borrowed $75,000 under a new
term loan payable in monthly installments and maturing November 18, 2000. See
note 4 to financial statements for further details of the companies borrowing
facilities.

      During the second quarter of 2000, incentive stock options to purchase
29,559 shares of common stock were exercised at various prices, ranging from
$.47 to $2.00.

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