<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The Company computes net
income/(loss) per share in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic net income/(loss) per share is
based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding and dilutive common stock equivalents during
the period. Common stock equivalents are options under the Company&#146;s stock
option plan and common shares expected to be issued under the Company&#146;s
employee stock purchase plan and are calculated under the treasury stock method.
Common equivalent shares from unexercised stock options are excluded from the
computation when there is a loss as their effect is anti-dilutive. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Common stock equivalents of
approximately 1,619,347 shares (2,576,098 shares of common stock equivalents
less 956,751 shares considered repurchased under the treasury stock method) were
included in the weighted average shares outstanding used to calculate diluted
income per share for the three months ending March 31, 2000. For the three
months ended March 31, 1999, common stock equivalents of approximately 2,488,174
shares were not included in the weighted average shares outstanding used to
calculate diluted income (loss) per share because of their anti-dilutive effect.
There were no reconciling items in calculating the numerator for basic and
diluted income (loss) per share for any of the periods presented. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our revenues have generally been
limited to license fees, milestone payments, interest income, collaboration
research, development and option fees. Research and development revenue on
cost-reimbursing agreements is recognized as expenses are incurred up to
contractual limits. Research and development revenues, license fees, milestone
payments and option fees are recognized as revenue when irrevocably due.
Payments received that are related to future performance are deferred and taken
into income as earned over a specified future performance period. We have not
received any revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products. It could be
several years, if ever, before we will recognize significant revenues from
royalties received pursuant to our license agreements, and we do not expect to
ever generate revenues directly from product sales. Future revenues, if any, are
likely to fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The above expenditures for
contract research and development for our current and future drug candidates
will vary from quarter to quarter depending on the status of our research and
development projects. Changes in our existing and future research and
development and collaborative relationships will also impact the status of our
research and development projects. While we may, in some cases, be able to
control the timing of development expenses, in part by accelerating or
decelerating certain of these costs, many of these costs will be incurred
irrespective of whether or not we are able to discover drug candidates or obtain
collaborative partners for commercialization. As a result, we believe that
quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily
meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of future performance.
If we fail to meet the clinical and financial expectations of securities
analysts and investors, it could have a material adverse effect on the price of
our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since our inception in 1986, we
have not been profitable. We expect to incur additional losses for the
foreseeable future, and our losses could increase as our research and
development efforts progress. As of March 31, 2000, our accumulated deficit was
approximately $56.6&nbsp;million. To become profitable, we must successfully
develop drug candidates, enter into profitable agreements with other parties and
our drug candidates must receive regulatory approval. These other parties must
then successfully manufacture and market our drug candidates. It could be
several years, if ever, before we receive royalties under our existing license
agreements or any future license agreements. In addition, we never expect to
generate revenue directly from product sales. If we do not generate revenue, or
if our drug development expenses increase, we may need to raise additional funds
through new or existing collaborations or through private or public equity or
debt financings. If financing is not available on acceptable terms, or not
available at all, we may not have enough capital to continue our current
business strategy. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;To receive the regulatory
approvals necessary for the sale of our drug candidates, we or our licensees

demonstrate that our drug candidates are safe and effective, our drug candidates
will not receive regulatory approval and will not be marketed, which would
result in a decrease in, or complete absence of, revenue. The clinical trial
process is complex and uncertain. Positive results from preclinical studies and
early clinical trials do not ensure positive results in clinical trials designed
to permit application for regulatory approval, called pivotal clinical trials.
We may suffer significant setbacks in pivotal clinical trials, even after
earlier clinical trials show promising results. Any of our drug candidates may
produce undesirable side effects in humans. These side effects could cause us or
regulatory authorities to interrupt, delay or halt clinical trials of a drug
candidate. These side effects could also result in the FDA or foreign regulatory
authorities refusing to approve the drug candidate for any targeted indications.
We, our licensees, the FDA or foreign regulatory authorities may suspend or
terminate clinical trials at any time if we or they believe the trial
participants face unacceptable health risks. Clinical trials may fail to
demonstrate that our drug candidates are safe or effective. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->

certain that the tests and trials will ever result in the commercial sale of a
product. For example, clinical trials require adequate supplies of drug and
sufficient patient enrollment. Delays in patient enrollment can result in
increased costs and longer development times. Even if we or our licensees
successfully complete clinical trials for our product candidates, our licensees
might not file the required regulatory submissions in a timely manner and may

for each drug that we intend to commercialize. The FDA approval process is
typically lengthy and expensive, and approval is never certain. Products
distributed abroad are also subject to foreign government regulation. The FDA or
foreign regulatory agencies have not approved any of our drug candidates. If we

approval of our drug candidates, our management&#146;s credibility, our
company&#146;s value and our operating results may suffer. Even if the FDA or

best, the third neuraminidase inhibitor to the market, because the FDA approved
Glaxo-Wellcome plc&#146;s neuraminidase inhibitor product in the U.S. and in

the companies responsible for the development and marketing of the two

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We may initiate, or others may
bring against us, litigation or administrative proceedings related to
intellectual property rights, including proceedings before the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office. Any judgement adverse to us in any litigation or other
proceeding arising in connection with a patent or patent application could
materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of
operations. In addition, the costs of any such proceeding may be substantial
whether or not we are successful. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our success is also dependent upon
the skills, knowledge and experience, none of which is patentable, of our
scientific and technical personnel. To help protect our rights, we require all
employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators to enter into confidentiality
agreements that prohibit the disclosure of confidential information to anyone
outside of our company and require disclosure and assignment to us of their
ideas, developments, discoveries and inventions. These agreements may not
provide adequate protection for our trade secrets, know-how or other proprietary
information in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure or the lawful
development by others of such information, and if any of our proprietary
information is disclosed, our business will suffer because our revenues depend
upon our ability to license our technology and any such events would

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We are highly dependent upon our
senior management and scientific team, the loss of whose services might impede
the achievement of our development and commercial objectives. Although we
maintain, and are the beneficiary of, a $1.8&nbsp;million key-man insurance
policy on the life of Charles E. Bugg, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board of Directors
and Chief Executive Officer, we do not believe the proceeds would be adequate to
compensate for his loss. We are actively seeking additional members for our
senior management team. Competition for key personnel with the experience that
we require is intense and is expected to continue to increase. Our inability to
attract and retain the required number of skilled and experienced management,
operational and scientific personnel, will harm our business because we rely
upon these personnel for many critical functions of our business. In addition,
we rely on members of our scientific advisory board and consultants to assist us
in formulating our research and development strategy. All of the members of the
scientific advisory board and all of our consultants are otherwise employed and
each such member or consultant may have commitments to other entities that may
limit their availability to us. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The lack of reimbursement for the
use of our product candidates by hospitals, clinics, patients or doctors will
harm our business. Medicare, Medicaid, health maintenance organizations and
other third-party payors may not authorize or otherwise budget for the
reimbursement of our products. Governmental and third-party payors are
increasingly challenging the prices charged for medical products and services.
We cannot be sure that third-party payors would view our product candidates as
cost-effective, that reimbursement will be available to consumers or that
reimbursement will be sufficient to allow our product candidates to be marketed
on a competitive basis. Changes in reimbursement policies, or attempts to
contain costs in the health care industry, limit or restrict reimbursement for
our product candidates, would materially and adversely affect our business,
because future product sales would decline and we would receive less royalty
revenue. </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We face an inherent business risk
of liability claims in the event that the use or misuse of our compounds results
in personal injury or death. We have not experienced any clinical trial
liability claims to date, but we may experience these claims in the future.
After commercial introduction of our products we may experience losses due to
product liability claims. We currently maintain clinical trial liability
insurance coverage in the amount of $1.0&nbsp;million per occurrence and
$2.0&nbsp;million in the aggregate, with an additional $5.0&nbsp;million
potentially available under our umbrella policy. The insurance policy may not be
sufficient to cover claims that may be made against us. Clinical trial liability
insurance is expensive, difficult to obtain and may not be available in the
future on acceptable terms, if at all. Any claims against us, regardless of
their merit, could materially and adversely affect our financial condition,
because litigation related to these claims would strain our financial resources
in addition to consuming the time and attention of our management. </FONT></P>

depend on the security, integrity and performance of the computer systems

data at our facilities, do not store duplicate copies of all data off-site and
could lose important data if our systems were impaired. Any significant
degradation or failure of our computer systems could cause us to inaccurately
calculate or lose our data. Loss of data could result in significant delays in
our drug development process. We have not undertaken formal system protections,
do not have a detailed emergency plan and any system failure could harm our
business and operations. We are in the process of upgrading our computer network
and systems company-wide. Software we are currently installing is designed to
automatically archive critical scientific raw data. We are purchasing additional

failure. </FONT></P>

RISK</B> </FONT></P>

<!-- MARKER FORMAT-SHEET="Para 10" -->
<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The primary objective of our
investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximize
the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing our
risk. We invest excess cash principally in U.S. marketable securities from a
diversified portfolio of institutions with strong credit ratings and in U.S.
government and agency bills and notes, and by policy, limit the amount of credit
exposure at any one institution. Some of the securities we invest in may have
market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the
principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we
schedule our investments to coincide with our cash flow needs, thus avoiding the
need to redeem an investment prior to its maturity date. Accordingly, we believe
we have no material exposure to interest rate risk arising from our investments.
Therefore, no quantitative tabular disclosure is provided. </FONT></P>
