            Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                                 June 30, 2000



1. Basis of Presentation

   The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
   prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
   interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of
   the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these financial
   statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
   generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

   The interim unaudited consolidated financial statements contained herein
   include, in management's opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal
   recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
   position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
   The results of operations for the interim period shown on this report are not
   necessarily indicative of results for a full year. These financial statements
   should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial
   statements and notes for the year ended December 31, 1999 included in the
   Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. Net Loss Per Share

   Basic and diluted net loss per share available to common stockholders has
   been calculated by dividing net loss, adjusted for preferred stock
   preferences, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
   during the period. All potential common shares have been excluded from the
   calculation of weighted average common shares outstanding since their
   inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

   Stock options and warrants to purchase approximately 7.2 million and
   approximately 4.5 million shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30,
   2000 and 1999, respectively, but were not included in the computation of
   diluted net loss per common share because they were anti-dilutive. Also
   excluded were approximately 1.8 million shares of common stock issuable upon
   the conversion of Series A and Series C preferred stock outstanding at June
   30, 1999. The exercise of these stock options and warrants, or the conversion
   of the preferred stock, could potentially dilute earnings per share in the
   future.

3.  Supplemental Disclosure of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities

    During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 87,121 and
    300,614 shares of common stock resulting from the conversion of 4,983 and
    53,669 shares of Series A and Series C preferred stock, respectively. During
    the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company also issued 1,585,416 shares
    of common stock resulting from the conversion of convertible debentures with
    a face value of $8 million and the payment of accrued interest of
    approximately $318,000 in the form of shares of common stock. The carrying
    value of the debentures plus the accrued interest thereon, net of deferred
    financing costs of approximately $307,000, was reclassified to additional
    paid-in capital upon conversion of the debentures and the payment of accrued
    interest. During the six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company issued
    206,296 shares of common stock resulting from the conversion of 11,763
    shares of Series A preferred stock.

4.  Comprehensive Loss

    The Company had total comprehensive loss of $3,307,880 and $1,902,666 for
    the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. For the six
    months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive loss was $6,138,194
    and $4,111,745, respectively.

5.  Stockholders' Equity

    In June 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 1,405,956 shares
    of common stock, which raised approximately $9.9 million in net proceeds. In
    connection with the financing, the Company issued 200,000 warrants to
    purchase common stock at $10.00 per share and 300,000 warrants to purchase
    common stock at $8.00 per share.

    In February 1999, the Company completed a private placement of Series C
    convertible preferred stock, $.01 par value, which raised approximately $5.6
    million in net proceeds.

    In February 1999, the Company completed a private placement of 647,668
    shares of common stock which raised approximately $2.3 million in net
    proceeds.

6.  Accounting Pronouncements

    In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
    Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial
    Statements" ("SAB 101"), which was amended in March 2000 by Staff Accounting
    Bulletin No. 101B, "Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements,"
    and is effective for the Company's quarter ending December 31, 2000 and all
    future quarters. SAB 101 clarifies the SEC's views related to revenue
    recognition and disclosure. The Company does not expect the provisions of
    SAB 101 to have a material effect on the Company's financial position or
    results of operations.

    In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
    Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for
    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which was
    amended by SFAS No. 137 and is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal
    years beginning after June 15, 2000. The statement requires that all
    derivative investments be recorded in the balance sheet at fair value.
    Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in current
    earnings or comprehensive income depending on whether a derivative is
    designated as part of a hedge transaction, and the type of hedge
    transaction. The Company does not expect the adoption of the statement to
    have a material effect on its financial statements.

    In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
    Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB
    Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44"). FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion
    No. 25 to certain issues including: the definition of an employee for
    purposes of applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining
    whether a plan qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting
    consequence of various modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock
    options or awards; and the accounting for the exchange of stock compensation
    awards in a business combination. FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but
    certain conclusions in FIN 44 are applicable retroactively to specific
    events occurring after either December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000. The
    Company does not expect the application of FIN 44 to have a material impact
    on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Results of Operations

 Overview

     The Company is a biotechnology company engaged in the research and
development of novel therapeutic and diagnostic products to treat chronic
debilitating diseases such as cancer, central nervous system disorders and
autoimmune diseases.  The Company expects that its research and development
costs will continue to increase as the Company attempts to gain regulatory
approval for commercial introduction of its proposed products.  At June 30,
2000, the Company is considered a "development stage enterprise" as defined in
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7.


 Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

     The Company's net loss was $3,328,199 during the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared with $1,636,042 during the three months ended June 30,
1999.  Net loss per common share equaled $0.17 per share for the 2000 period as
compared to $0.11 per share for the 1999 period.  The higher net loss in the
2000 period was primarily due to higher research and development costs.  These
items were partially offset by lower Therafectin related expenses.

     Research and development expenses were $2,570,726 during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared with $745,330 during the three months ended June
30, 1999.  The higher level of expenses during the 2000 period reflects the
continued maturation and development of the Company's technologies.  The
increase was primarily attributable to expenditures related to higher enrollment
levels in a phase III clinical trial and the development of a good manufacturing
process ("GMP") in preparation for the expected filing of a new drug
application, the initiation of a phase II clinical trial, and higher pre-
clinical manufacturing costs for another technology.

                                       7

     Licensing fees expense was $100,000 during the three months ended June 30,
2000 as compared with zero during the three months ended June 30, 1999.  The
Company paid $100,000 during the 2000 period to license one new technology.  In
addition to an initial licensing fee payment, the Company is obligated to pay
additional amounts upon the attainment of development milestones, as defined in
each respective licensing agreement, as well as royalties upon the sales of any
resulting products.  The Company expects to pay future licensing fees, the
timing and amounts of which will depend upon the progress attained in developing
existing technologies and the terms of agreements which may be executed for
technologies currently being developed or which may be developed in the future.
There can be no assurance regarding the likelihood or materiality of any such
future licensing agreements.

     Therafectin related expenses were zero during the three months ended June
30, 2000 as compared with $503,937 during the three months ended June 30, 1999.
The Company is presently evaluating its future plans but does not plan to commit
substantial additional financial resources on the development of Therafectin.
Expenses during the 1999 period primarily related to manufacturing costs
incurred in the production of three lots of GMP material.

     General and administrative expenses were $906,730 during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared with $622,558 during the three months ended June
30, 1999.  This increase was primarily due to higher non-recurring, non-cash
professional service costs during the 2000 period.  These costs, representing
the fair value (as determined under the Black Scholes pricing model) of warrants
and options issued to purchase shares of common stock, totaled $260,630 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared with zero during the three
months ended June 30, 1999.

     Interest income was $249,257 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared with $235,783 during the three months ended June 30, 1999.

 Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

     The Company's net loss was $6,279,349 during the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared with $3,714,827 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Net
loss per common share, excluding preferred stock preferences, equaled $0.34 per
share for the 2000 period as compared to $0.26 per share for the 1999 period.
The higher net loss in the 2000 period was primarily due to higher research and
development costs and interest expense incurred on the convertible debentures
issued in September 1999.  These items were partially offset by lower
Therafectin related expenses.

     The net loss available to common stockholders for the 1999 period,
including preferred stock preferences of $4,240,000, totaled $7,954,827.  Net
loss per common share available to common stockholders for the 1999 period,
including $0.30 attributable to preferred stock preferences, totaled $0.56.  In
February 1999, the Company completed a private placement of Series C convertible
preferred stock and warrants.  Based on the market price of the Company's stock
on the date of issuance, the preferred stock had a beneficial conversion feature
with an intrinsic value of approximately $1.9 million and the warrants had a
fair value of approximately $1.8 million, which amounts are included in the
preferred stock preferences.

     Research and development expenses were $4,421,975 during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared with $1,678,793 during the six months ended June
30, 1999.  The higher level of expenses during the 2000 period reflects the
continued maturation and development of the Company's technologies.  The
increase was primarily attributable to expenditures related to higher enrollment
levels in a phase III clinical trial and the development of a GMP in preparation
for the expected filing of a new drug application, the initiation of a phase II
clinical trial, and higher pre-clinical manufacturing costs for another
technology.

     Licensing fees expense was $200,000 during the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared with zero during the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The
Company paid $100,000 during the 2000 period related to the expanded use, for a
new medical indication, of a technology previously licensed by the Company.  The
Company also paid $100,000 during the 2000 period to license one new technology.
In addition to the initial licensing fee payments, the Company is obligated to
pay additional amounts upon the attainment of development milestones, as defined
in each respective licensing agreement, as well as royalties upon the sales of
any resulting products.  The Company expects to pay future licensing fees, the
timing and amounts of which will depend upon the progress attained in developing
existing technologies and the terms of agreements which may be executed for
technologies currently being developed or which may be developed in the future.
There can be no assurance regarding the likelihood or materiality of any such
future licensing agreements.

     Therafectin related expenses were zero during the six months ended June 30,
2000 as compared with $1,081,621 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The
Company is presently evaluating its future plans but does not plan to commit
substantial additional financial resources on the development of Therafectin.
Expenses during the 1999 period primarily related to manufacturing costs
incurred in the production of three lots of GMP material.

     General and administrative expenses were $1,672,834 during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 as compared with $1,319,025 during the six months ended June
30, 1999.  This increase was primarily due to higher non-recurring, non-cash
professional service costs during the 2000 period.  These costs, representing
the fair value (as determined under the Black Scholes pricing model) of warrants
and options issued to purchase shares of common stock, totaled $260,630 during
the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared with $6,000 during the six months
ended June 30, 1999.

     Interest income was $360,330 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as
compared with $364,612 during the six months ended June 30, 1999.  Interest
expense was $344,870 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 as compared with
zero during the six months ended June 30, 1999.  In September 1999, the Company
issued $8 million of 8% convertible debentures, and incurred $142,861 in non-
cash interest on the 8% coupon and $189,632 in non-cash interest associated with
the accretion of the discounted carrying value of the debentures in the 2000
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

  Since its inception, the Company has primarily satisfied its working capital
requirements from the sale of the Company's securities through private
placements. These private placements have included the sale of preferred stock
and common stock, as well as notes payable and convertible debentures. Each
private placement has included the issuance of warrants to purchase common
stock. A summary of financings completed during the three years ended June 30,
2000 is as follows:

<TABLE>

June 2000              $9.9 million                  Common stock
September 1999         $7.4 million                  Convertible debentures
February 1999          $2.3 million                  Common stock
February 1999          $5.6 million                  Preferred stock
</TABLE>

In the future, the Company's working capital and capital requirements will
depend on numerous factors, including the progress of the Company's research and
development activities, the level of resources that the Company devotes to the
developmental, clinical, and regulatory aspects of its products, and the

                                       9
<PAGE>

extent to which the Company enters into collaborative relationships with
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

  At June 30, 2000, the Company had available cash, cash equivalents and short
term investments of approximately $22.4 million and working capital of
approximately $21.3 million.  The Company believes that the level of financial
resources available at June 30, 2000 will provide sufficient working capital to
meet its anticipated expenditures for more than the next twelve months.  The
Company may raise additional capital in the future through collaborative
agreements with other pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies, debt
financings, or equity offerings.  There can be no assurance, however, that the
Company will be successful or that additional funds will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all.

Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued
Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements"
("SAB 101"), which was amended in March 2000 by Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
101B, "Amendment: Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," and is effective
for the Company's quarter ending December 31, 2000 and all future quarters.  SAB
101 clarifies the SEC's views related to revenue recognition and disclosure.
The Company does not expect the provisions of SAB 101 to have a material effect
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"), which was amended by SFAS No.
137 and is effective for all fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after
June 15, 2000. The statement requires that all derivative investments be
recorded in the balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or comprehensive income
depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction,
and the type of hedge transaction. The Company does not expect the adoption of
the statement to have a material effect on its financial statements.

     In March 2000, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation - an interpretation of APB
Opinion No. 25" ("FIN 44").  FIN 44 clarifies the application of APB Opinion No.
25 to certain issues including: the definition of an employee for purposes of
applying APB Opinion No. 25; the criteria for determining whether a plan
qualifies as a noncompensatory plan; the accounting consequence of various
modifications to the terms of previously fixed stock options or awards; and the
accounting for the exchange of stock compensation awards in a business
combination.  FIN 44 is effective July 1, 2000, but certain conclusions in FIN
44 are applicable retroactively to specific events occurring after either
December 15, 1998 or January 12, 2000.  The Company does not expect the
application of FIN 44 to have a material impact on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

Item 3 - Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in the market risks reported in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.
