(hereafter referred to as "Oncor" or the "Company"). Readers are cautioned that such statements are only predictions and that actual events or results may differ materially. In evaluating such statements, readers should specifically consider the various factors identified in this Report and in the Company's other public filings which could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements, including the matters set forth in the various captions under "Item 1. Business" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations." The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether because of new information, future events or otherwise. PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS IMPORTANT 1999 DEVELOPMENTS Sale of assets On February 10, 1999, the Company sold its 80% interest in Appligene Oncore ("Appligene"), a French company, to a Canadian company for $1 million. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information on this transaction.) After the sale of Appligene and the several transactions described under the caption "Business" below, the Company's only remaining assets consisted of certain Oncor and Codon intellectual property and licenses. The future uses, if any, of these remaining assets are being explored by the Company. The Company currently has no revenues from operations. Chapter 11 Filing On February 26, 1999 (the "Petition Date"), Oncor, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Debtor"), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Wilmington, Delaware. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence before the filing of the petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code are stayed while the Debtor continues as debtor-in-possession. Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all actions to collect upon any of the Company's liabilities as of the Petition Date or to enforce pre-Petition contractual obligations were automatically stayed. Absent approval from the Bankruptcy Court, the Company is prohibited from paying pre-Petition obligations. However, the Bankruptcy Court has approved payment of certain pre-Petition liabilities as of the Petition Date such as employee wages and benefits and certain specified pre-Petition obligations. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court has allowed for the retention of legal and financial professionals and other payments to protect the holders of claims against the Company. As a debtor-in-possession, the Company has the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other conditions, to assume or reject any pre-Petition executory contracts and unexpired leases. Parties 2 affected by such rejections may file pre-Petition claims with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with Bankruptcy procedures. Oncor expects to reorganize under Chapter 11 and to propose a reorganization plan or plans. At this time, it is not possible to predict that any Plan filed will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or that such plans will be consummated. If a plan is not approved, the Company may be required to liquidate. Reference is made to Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" and the Report of Independent Public Accountants included in Item 8 - "Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" which indicate the substantial doubt about Oncor's ability to continue as a going concern. THE COMPANY Oncor, Inc. along with its consolidated subsidiaries was incorporated in Maryland in July 1983. Oncor's principal offices are located at 209 Perry Parkway, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877, and its telephone number is (301) 963- 3500. BUSINESS During 1998, as part of the Company's plan to reduce its scope of operations and ongoing operating expenses, the Company disposed of a significant portion of its business and the related assets. (See Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8 for additional information on the following transactions.) Effective February 28, 1998, the Company acquired all remaining outstanding shares of Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Codon"). On October 1, 1998, Codon ceased all operations. On April 9, 1998, the Company completed a transaction with Vysis, Inc. in which Oncor conveyed to Vysis for $0.5 million in cash and full rights and title to its non-oncology genetics probe assets ("Genetics Assets"), including primarily inventories and intellectual property, in exchange for two licenses to patents owned or licensed to Vysis. (These two licenses were surrendered in the November 24, 1998 transaction discussed below.) In addition, the parties agreed to settle all legal action between them with respect to a suit brought by Vysis against the Company in September 1995. On June 30, 1998, the Company completed the sale of its Research Products Assets, including primarily inventory, laboratory equipment and intellectual property, to Intergen Company for cash consideration of $3.1 million. On September 28, 1998, pursuant to a plan of merger between Oncormed, Inc. and Gene Logic, Inc., the Company exchanged 900,000 shares representing all its shares in Oncormed for approximately 420,000 shares of Gene Logic, Inc. common stock. On November 23, 1998, the Company voluntarily surrendered assets related to its in situ Hybridization business to certain of the Company's secured creditors. The creditors simultaneously sold these assets to Ventana, Medical Systems. The proceeds were used to liquidate the debt due the secured creditors and to pay other obligations of the Company. 3 FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC OPERATIONS AND EXPORT SALES See Note 8 to the consolidated financial statements under Item 8 of this Report for industry segment and foreign and domestic operations and export sales information. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE After the Company's disposition of substantially all of its remaining assets and operations, the Company does not believe it has any material exposure to Year 2000 relating to its computer systems or those systems on which the Company depends. ADDITIONAL RISK FACTORS As discussed above, the Company's only remaining assets consisted of certain Oncor and Codon intellectual property and licenses. The future uses, if any, of these licenses are being explored by the Company. The Company currently has no revenues from operations. In addition, the Company has filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. If the Company continues in operation in any manner it will be subject to significant additional risks, including the risks summarized below. History of Operating Losses ONCOR HAS NOT BEEN PROFITABLE SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN JULY 1983. AS INDICATED ABOVE, THE COMPANY HAS DISPOSED OF A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF ITS ASSETS AND OPERATIONS AND CURRENTLY HAS NO REVENUES FROM OPERATIONS. Additional Financing Requirements and Access to Capital Funding IF THE COMPANY CONTINUES IN OPERATION IN ANY MANNER, IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH ADDITIONAL FINANCING REQUIREMENTS AND ACCESS TO CAPITAL FUNDING. THE COMPANY'S CURRENT LIQUID RESOURCES ARE NOT SUFFICIENT TO SATISFY ITS CURRENT OBLIGATIONS. Trading in Company's Common Stock In October 1998, the Company was delisted from the American Stock Exchange. It now trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. This market will likely provide substantially less liquidity and market support for the stockholders of the Company and materially and adversely affect the ability, if any, of the Company to raise additional equity for any future business operations. Additionally, the bankruptcy proceedings may have an adverse effect on the trading in the Company's stock. There is no assurance that the Company's stock will continue to be traded even on the Bulletin Board. Requested Redemption of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock The Company is subject to risks associated with the requested redemption of Series A convertible preferred stock (the "preferred stock"). (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements relating to the issuance of this preferred stock.) On August 7, 1998 and August 11, 1998, the Company received requests from the holders of the preferred stock, which had an aggregate original issuance amount equal to $5 million and a higher redemption amount, to have their shares of preferred stock redeemed. The Company believes that there are certain legal and financial impediments to the satisfaction of these 4 requests, even if determined to be valid. If such redemption request is ultimately held to be valid, the Company does not have, and probably cannot obtain, the funds necessary to redeem the preferred stock (See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information). No Assurance of Regulatory Approvals, Government Regulation As indicated above, the Company's only remaining assets consist of certain Oncor and Codon licenses. The future uses of these licenses are being explored by the Company. If a use of these licenses is found, there is no assurance that the Company will receive regulatory approval or clearance for the use of any products developed using these licenses, if required, or have the financial ability to pursue approval or clearance. Patents and Proprietary Rights The use of the above-mentioned licenses also depend in a large part on the Company's ability to obtain patents, where needed, defend the patents, maintain trade secrets and operate without infringing upon the propriety rights of others. The patent position of firms relying upon biotechnology is highly uncertain in general and involves complex legal and factual questions. There is no assurance that patents issued are sufficiently broad enough to afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, there can be no assurance that any patents issued to the Company, or for which the Company has license rights, will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive advantages to the Company. Litigation relative to patents, licenses or any rights could result in litigation. The Company currently does not have the financial ability to defend any such litigation. Uncertainties Relating to Product Development If, in the future, the Company seeks to develop one or more products, it will be subject to risks associated with uncertainties relating to product development. There can be no assurance that the Company or any future development partner will be successful in developing existing or future products, that such products will prove to be efficacious in clinical trials, that required regulatory approvals or clearances can be obtained for such products, that such products, if developed and approved, can be manufactured in commercial quantities at reasonable costs, will be marketed successfully or will be accepted by the medical diagnostic community, or that market demand for such products will be sufficient to allow profitable operations. Competition and Technological Change If the Company were to continue in operations, it will be subject to the risks associated with competition and technological change. The diagnostic and biotechnology industries are subject to intense competition and rapid and significant technological change. Competitors in the United States and foreign countries are numerous and include, among others, diagnostic, health care, pharmaceutical, biotechnology and chemical companies, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial and technical resources and production and marketing capabilities than the Company. There can be no assurance that these competitors will not succeed in developing technologies and products that are more effective, easier to use or less expensive than those that have been or would be developed by the Company or that would render the Company's technology and products obsolete and 5 noncompetitive. The Company would also have to compete with various companies in acquiring technology from academic institutions, government agencies and research organizations. In addition, many of the Company's competitors have significantly greater experience than the Company in conducting clinical trials of new diagnostic products and in obtaining FDA and other regulatory approvals of products for use in health care. Accordingly, the Company's competitors may succeed in obtaining regulatory approval for products more rapidly than the Company. Attraction and Retention of Key Personnel If the Company were to continue operations, it will be subject to risks associated with attracting and retaining key personnel to replace those who have resigned or have been terminated. Competition for such personnel and advisors is intense, and the Company's ability to attract and retain such personnel will be adversely affected by the current financial condition of the Company; therefore, there can be no assurance that the Company could attract and retain such personnel. Product Liability If the Company were to continue operations, it will be subject to risks associated with product liability. The testing, marketing and sale of health care products could expose the Company to the risk of product liability claims. Presently, the Company does not have the resources to defend or settle any uninsured product liability claims that may be filed against it. While the Company maintains product liability insurance coverage of $5 million per occurrence, there can be no assurance, however, that such insurance policy will respond to any specific claim, that this coverage will be adequate to protect the Company against future product liability claims or that product liability insurance will be available to the Company in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. EMPLOYEES The Company currently has 3 employees (2 clerical and 1 Research and Development). The Company's acting President and Chief Operating Officer serves on a consulting basis. The Company also retains the services of a full time accountant on a temporary basis and an accountant on a consulting basis, as needed. All other employees of the Company have resigned or been terminated. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES The Company currently leases facilities in Gaithersburg, Maryland consisting of a total of approximately 5,200 square feet of office space leased pursuant to an operating lease which expires in March 31, 2004. 6 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS The Company has received notices from time to time claiming that certain of the Company's products infringe patents of third parties and has submitted the notices to its patent counsel for review. There can be no assurance, however, that these claims will not lead to infringement proceedings involving the Company or that the Company would prevail in any such proceedings. Patent litigation has frequently proven in recent years to be complex and expensive and the outcome of patent litigation can be difficult to predict. In the Company's present financial condition, it probably could not litigate any litigation filed or to pay damages if proven. On April 27, 1998, the Company received a summons and complaint in connection with a lawsuit entitled Key Technology, Inc. V. Oncor, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for the County of Walla Walla. The complaint alleges breach of contract and fraud concerning a June 1996 asset purchase agreement between Key Technology relating to the sale of the Company's 1300 video inspection systems to Key Technology, and seeks damages against the Company of $1,475,000. A failure to successfully defend against or settle that suit would likely result in damages being assessed against the Company. Management currently cannot estimate what liability, if any, could result from this dispute. During 1998, two entities who entered into a partnership agreement with the Company have asserted that the Company did not disclose certain information to them prior to entering into the agreement. The entities have requested that the Company relinquish all rights obtained by the Company and, if the Company does not relinquish such rights, "appropriate action" will be taken. No settlement has been reached in this matter and, to date, no suit has been filed or demand received. Management currently cannot estimate what liability, if any, could result from this dispute. Besides the above enumerated proceedings, several claims and cases have been filed by creditors and former employees of the Company relating to unpaid amounts for goods and services provided the Company. Payments of these amounts are now stayed by the Bankruptcy Proceedings. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS None PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS The Company's Common Stock was traded on the American Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") under the symbol "ONC." On October 2, 1998, the Exchange advised the Company that trading had been halted in the Company's Common Stock and that the trading halt will continue indefinitely. Presently, the Company's Common Stock trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol "ONCR.". 7 The following table sets forth, for the calendar periods indicated, the range of high and low sale prices for the Common Stock as reported by the Exchange or reported in the pink-sheets, as applicable: High Low ---- --- 1997 First Quarter 5-1/4 3-3/8 Second Quarter 4-5/8 3 Third Quarter 5-3/16 3-9/16 Fourth Quarter 5-1/4 3-1/2 1998 First Quarter 5-1/8 1-3/8 Second Quarter 15/16 5/8 Third Quarter 13/16 1/8 Bid Ask ----- ----- High Low High Low ---- ------ ---- ----- Fourth Quarter 1/4 1/1000 1/4 1/1000 HOLDERS As of December 31, 1998, the approximate number of record holders of Common Stock was 471. DIVIDENDS The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends on its Common Stock. Presently, the Company does not have the ability to pay a dividend and does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION The following discussion and analysis provides information which management (see next paragraph) believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto (Item 8 of this Report). The Company's executive officers during the period of this discussion and analysis are no longer with the Company. Therefore, this discussion and analysis is based on the knowledge of operations of those presently retained by the Company. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS As discussed in Item 1. "Business" and in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data," on February 26, 1999, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Codon, filed voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code. Further, the Company has disposed of substantially all of the operating assets of its former business and currently has no revenues from operations. Consequently, the following discussion of results of operations has no bearing on future operations, if any, of the Company. 1998 compared to 1997 Consolidated product sales decreased $1.3 million (10.8%) to $11.6 million in 1998 compared to $12.9 million in 1997. This decrease is substantially due to the operations that have been disposed of or which ceased during 1998 (see Item 1 "Business" and Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements) offset by an approximately $1.5 million in increased sales by Appligene. There was no significant change in contract and grant revenue between 1998 and 1997. Subsequent to the disposition of Appligene in early 1999, the Company no longer has any revenues from operations. Operating expenses increased $4.3 million (13%) to $38 million in 1998 compared to $33.7 million in 1997. The majority of the increase was due to (1) a $1.2 million in amortization of intangibles and (2) a $5.3 million in associated with the write-off of research and development projects in process acquired in the acquisition of outstanding shares of Codon, which ceased operations at the end of the third quarter of 1998. These increases were offset by decreases in other components of operating expenses due to the dispositions and discontinuation of operations discussed above. Loss from operations in 1998 was $26.0 million compared to $20.4 million in 1997. This increase of $5.6 million is explained above. Net other expense has decreased $9.3 million from $10.6 million in 1997 to $1.3 million in 1998. The majority of items accounting for this decrease result from the disposition of the Company's operations during 1998 discussed in Item 1 "Business" and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements 10 under Item 8 of this Report. This decrease is primarily due to the following (dollars in millions): Decrease (Increase) ------------------- Reduction in equity in net loss of affiliates and minority interest $ 1.9 Impairment loss on Appligene (2.6) Gain on sale of Research Products assets 2.0 Gain on exchange of stock in affiliated company 1.7 Gain on exercise of warrants in an affiliated company and adjustment of the related liability to issue such warrants 6.5 Financing expenses associated with the acquisition and amendment of secured credit facility (5.8) Valuation of options issued in conjunction with a line of credit(in 1997-see "1997 compared to 1996" below) 1.8 Amortization of the beneficial conversion feature in the issuance of convertible debentures (in 1997-see "1997 compared to 1996" below) 4.3 Other (0.5) ----- Net decrease $ 9.3 ===== The net loss applicable to common stock decreased $0.2 million in 1998 to $31.1 million from $30.9 million in 1997. This is mainly due to (1) dividends and accretion on convertible preferred stock of $3.9 million in 1998, offset by (2) the $9.3 change in other income (expense) less by the increase in the loss from operations of $5.6 both discussed above. 1997 Compared to 1996 Consolidated product sales decreased 15% to $12.9 million in 1997 compared to $15.3 million in 1995. In 1997, the sales decrease was attributable largely to the full-year effect of the restructuring of certain product lines in the U.S. in 1996 (-16%) and a decrease in the exchange rate of the French franc (-6%), partially offset by an increase in sales of continuing products (+7%). Contract and grant revenue decreased 40% to $0.4 million in 1997 compared to $0.7 million in 1996. Four new grants were received in 1997; however, two of the grants ended in 1998. Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased 34% in 1997 from 37% in 1996. The decrease was due to certain product mix changes (2.1%) and competitive pressures on European margins (0.5%), and to costs incurred in the United States for validating, regulating, and scaling up the initial stages of the manufacture of the approval of a FDA-approved controlled diagnostic product, INFORM (TM) HER-2/neu (1.5%, more than offsetting the benefits of the restructuring efforts). Specifically the Company discontinued the sale of certain products, mainly high-end imaging equipment, which had high gross margins but which had low or negative net margins after recognizing the relating selling, servicing and collection expenses. The Company had no restructuring expense in 1997, the 1996 expense of $2.1 million consisted of the revaluation of inventory of discontinued 11 products, charge-off of goodwill associated with such products and severance payments to employees terminated in conjunction with the restructuring plan. The restructuring plan was anticipated to, and did, have an effect on sales, gross margins, and selling, general and administrative expenses. The sales declines noted for 1997 were due in large measure to retirement from the market of more than one hundred products, most notably the computerized imaging and Appligene products with respect to the U.S. Gross margins declined as a result of these actions because the gross margin on the sales of imaging systems historically had been higher than on the weighted average gross margins of other Oncor products. These lost margins were more than offset by savings resulting from the termination of all imaging system employees, expenses for whom were reported primarily in selling, general, administrative, research and development departments. Amortization of intangible assets in 1997 and 1996 is due to the amortization of the portion of the purchase price of Appligene attributable to the value of intangible assets acquired, primarily for contracts, completed research projects, and the excess of the purchase price over the book value of the assets acquired. The slight decline in the amortization is due to the change in exchange rates and the completed research projects being fully amortized during 1996. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 2% to $14.8 million in 1997, compared to $15.1 million in 1996. The decrease was due to a reduction in legal expenses associated with certain intellectual property matters (decreased $1.5 million), the change in exchange rates (decreased $0.5 million), and the full year beneficial effects of the restructuring plan instituted in the second quarter of 1996 in the U.S. (decreased $0.1 million). These decreases were partially offset by legal and other expenses associated with certain proposed strategic transactions (increased $1.4 million) and with a lawsuit brought by a former employee (increased $0.4 million). Research and development expenses remained level at approximately $7.3 million. In 1997, the beneficial effects of the restructuring plan instituted in the second quarter of 1996 were offset by an increase in research and development expenses in Europe. Clinical and regulatory expenses decreased 20% to $2.0 million. The decrease in 1997 is primarily due to lower costs for manufacturing validation and regulation costs related to the application for FDA approval of its newly approved diagnostic tests partially offset by increased staff hired to support the Company's efforts with respect to the support of its diagnostics' products. As a result of the factors discussed above, net operating loss decreased 7% to $20.4 million from $22 million in 1996. Investment income remained unchanged at %0.5 million. The level of investment income is directly related to the level of investment funds which increased in late 1996 with the private placements partially used by subsequent cash operating losses of the Company. Interest and other expenses of $6.8 million and $3.1 million in 1997 and 1996, respectively, represented primarily interest expense which has become substantially more significant through (i) the issuance of options in conjunction with a line of credit, which bears interest at the prime rate plus 2%; (ii) the amortization of the beneficial conversion feature in the issuance of convertible debentures in 1996; and (iii) cash interest expense. The 12 following table sets forth the most significant elements of interest and other expenses: 1997 1996 ---- ---- (Dollars in Millions) (i) Valuation of options $1.8 $ - (ii) Issuance of debentures 4.3 3.0 (iii) Cash interest expense and other 0.7 0.1 --- --- Total $6.8 $3.1 === === In 1997 and 1996 the interest and other expenses included non-cash charges of $6.1 million and $3.1 million, respectively. Equity in net loss of affiliates was $4.3 million in 1997 as compared to $4.4 million in 1996. The Company's proportionate share of net losses attributable to Codon in 1997 decreased compared to 1996 due to a decrease in the Company's ownership interest in Codon. As a result of the factors discussed above, net loss increased 7% to $30.9 million in 1997 compared to $29.0 million in 1996. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1998, the Company had a working capital deficiency of $10.0 million and a stockholders' deficiency of $11.7 million. This compares to working capital of $1.4 million and shareholder's equity of $3.1 million in 1997. The working capital deficiency resulted from the general decrease in cash to meet its obligations and the liability to preferred shareholders. The stockholders' deficiency is substantially due to the net loss for 1998 offset by the increase in additional paid-in capital of $13.1 million resulting from the issuance of common stock in connection with debt, issuance of warrants with the preferred stock and issuance of warrants in connection with debt. Cash items at December 31, 1998 totaled $1.4 million which include $1.2 million of Appligene which was disposed of in early February 1999. Consequently, there are no significant cash reserves available to meet liabilities. The Company will require substantial financing to enable it to pursue future business opportunities. See Item 1 "Business" and the consolidated financial statements (principally Notes 1 and 3) under Item 8 of this Report. The Company presently has no revenues from operations and has filed for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Act. Oncor expects to reorganize under Chapter 11 and to propose a reorganization plan or plans. At this time, it is not possible to predict that any Plan filed will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court, or that such plans will be consummated. If a plan is not approved, the Company may be required to liquidation. COMMITMENTS There were no commitments for capital expenditures at December 31, 1998. 13 ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS See Notes to Financial Statements relative to new accounting pronouncements adopted by the Company during 1998. In the current circumstances of the Company, there are no accounting pronouncements which have not been adopted that will have any significant effect on the Company when they become effective in the future. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK After the disposition of substantially all the Company's assets and operations as discussed in Items 1, 7 and 8 of this Report, the Company has no exposure to market risk other than that related to market fluctuations in shares of Gene Logic, reflected in Investments in Marketable Securities at December 31, 1998 of $2.9 million.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Oncor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oncor, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced significant losses and has a net capital deficiency of $11,700,000 at December 31, 1998. In addition, as described in Note 1 to the accompanying financial statements, in February 1999 the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter XI of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. These matters, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters, including its intent to file a plan of reorganization that will be acceptable to the Court and the Company's creditors, are also described in Note 1. In the event a plan of reorganization is accepted, continuation of the business thereafter is dependent on the Company's ability to achieve successful future operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. F-12 ONCOR, INC NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As of DECEMBER 31, 1998 1. ORGANIZATION, BANKRUPTCY AND CERTAIN ELEMENTS OF RISK Chapter 11 Filing On February 26, 1999 (the "Petition Date"), Oncor, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Debtor"), filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Code (the "Bankruptcy Code") with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, Wilmington, Delaware. Under Chapter 11, certain claims against the Debtor in existence prior to the filing of the petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy Code are stayed while the Debtor continues as debtor-in-possession. Pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, all actions to collect upon any of the Company's liabilities as of the Petition Date or to enforce pre-Petition contractual obligations were automatically stayed. Absent approval from the Bankruptcy Court, the Company is prohibited from paying pre-Petition obligations. However, the Bankruptcy Court has approved payment of certain pre-Petition liabilities as of the Petition Date such as employee wages and benefits and certain specified pre-Petition obligations. Additionally, the Bankruptcy Court has allowed for the retention of legal and financial professionals and other payments to protect the holders of claims against the Company. As a debtor-in-possession, the Company has the right, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and certain other conditions, to assume or reject any pre-Petition executory contracts and unexpired leases. Parties affected by such rejections may file pre-Petition claims with the Bankruptcy Court in accordance with Bankruptcy procedures. As of the Petition Date, approximately $125,000 in pre-Petition December 31, 1998 liabilities of Oncor and Codon reflected in the accompanying financial statements were paid. All remaining Oncor and Codon liabilities included in the accompanying balance sheet still existed at the petition date and consequently are subject to compromise under the Chapter 11 proceedings. As of December 31, 1998, the following Oncor and Codon pre-Petition liabilities are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet (in thousands): Accounts payable $ 3,565 Accrued expenses 1,706 Liability to preferred shareholders 8,555 Notes payable 629 ------- $14,455 ======= The Company's management intends to file a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11 that will be acceptable to the Court and the Company's creditors and to propose a reorganization plan or plans. In the event a plan of reorganization is accepted, continuation of the business thereafter is dependent on the Company's ability to achieve successful future operations. At this time, it is not possible to predict the length of time the Company will continue under Chapter 11; that any Plan filed will be approved or confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court; or, that such plan will be consummated. If a plan is not approved, the Company may be required to liquidate. F-13 History of Operating Losses Oncor has not been profitable since its inception in July 1983. The Company cannot provide assurance as to when, if ever, it will achieve profitability. As indicated in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has disposed of most of its assets and operations and currently has no revenues from operations. Going-Concern and Basis of Financial Statements Although the Chapter 11 filings and the history of operating losses raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going-concern, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applicable to a company on a going-concern basis which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and the liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, such realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities are subject to significant uncertainties. Specifically, the financial statements do not present the amount which will ultimately be paid to settle liabilities and contingencies which may be allowed in the Chapter 11 Bankruptcy reorganization cases. Also, the consolidated financial statements do not reflect adjustments to assets which may result if the Company is forced to liquidate all the assets. A plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts currently included in the consolidated financial statements. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Oncor, Inc. and all subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company records investments in affiliates owned more than 20%, but not in excess of 50%, using the equity method. Changes in the Company's proportionate share of subsidiaries or affiliate's equity resulting from common stock issuances of subsidiaries and investments in affiliates are credited to equity. Management's Use of Estimates 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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Reserves have been recorded for estimates of uncollectible accounts receivable and excess and obsolete inventory. Management also uses estimates to determine the estimated lives of its intangible and tangible assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowing, as reflected in the financial statements, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Warrants issued in connection with a secured financing to purchase common stock of an affiliate have been recorded at fair value based upon a valuation model. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company's long-term debt because quoted market prices do not exist and no rates are currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and conditions. Also, the fair value of the Company's liabilities that are subject to compromise are not presently determinable as a result of the Bankruptcy Proceedings. F-14 Concentration of Credit Risk Concentrations of credit risk with respect to receivables is generally addressed in that the Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its expectation of the proportion of its receivables it will not be able to collect. With respect to investment in marketable securities, the Company's sole investment consists of stock held in one publicly traded company. Market fluctuations in that company's share price could significantly affect the carrying value of the investment. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company complies with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of. The Company reviews its long-lived assets, including identifiable intangibles; goodwill; and property, plant and equipment, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine recoverability of its long-lived assets, the Company evaluates that future undiscounted net cash flows will be less than the carrying amount of the assets. Impairment is measured as the difference between carrying cost and fair market value. Cash Equivalents and Investments Cash equivalents and investments at December 31, 1998 and 1997, consist primarily of funds invested in money market instruments and commercial paper. Investments with maturities between three months and one year are classified as short-term investments. Investments in securities with original maturities of less than three months are considered cash equivalents. The $0.4 million of restricted cash at December 31, 1998 relates to cash held in escrow in France pursuant to legal proceedings brought by a former employee in France. The Company accounts for investments in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities. All investments are classified as available-for-sale securities and, accordingly, carried at fair market value. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported as a net amount in a separate component of shareholders' equity until realized. In computing gains and losses, costs are determined on the basis of specific identification. Revenue Recognition The Company generally recognizes revenue from sales when the related goods are shipped. Grant and contract revenues are recognized on a percentage of completion basis. Grant revenues are reported when earned and are not refundable in accordance with the provisions of the grant awards. Foreign Currency Translation The French franc ("FF") is the functional currency of the Company's operations in France (subsequently disposed of, see Note 3). Assets and liabilities for these operations have been translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect on the respective balance sheet dates. Revenues and expenses have been translated using the average exchange rates during the periods presented. Cumulated translation losses of $1.4 million and $2.2 million at December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, have been excluded in determining the results of operations and have been accumulated as a separate component of equity. F-15 Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. (See Note 4.) Classification Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share SFAS No. 128 requires the dual presentation of basic and diluted net loss per share. Basic net loss per share includes no dilution and is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share includes the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Options, warrants and convertible securities that were outstanding at the end of each period presented were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as their effect would be antidilutive. As a result, the basic and diluted loss per share amounts are identical. Research and Development Costs Expenditures for research and development activities are charged to expense when incurred. New Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income." This pronouncement established standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity. Foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized holding gains on investments are the significant components of comprehensive income. Also, effective January 1, 1998, the Company implemented SFAS No. 131 "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." SFAS No. 131 requires an enterprise to report certain additional financial and descriptive information about its reportable segments. (See Note 8.) 3. SIGNIFICANT DISPOSITION OF ASSETS During 1998, as part of the Company's plan to reduce its scope of operations and ongoing operating expenses, the Company disposed of a significant portion of its business and the related assets. Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Effective February 28, 1998, the Company acquired all remaining outstanding shares of Codon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Codon") in exchange for 1.65 million shares of Oncor common stock. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The value of the Oncor common stock exchanged was approximately $6.2 million. Of this amount, F-16 $5.7 million, representing estimated value of Codon's proprietary position in certain technologies under development for future products which have not yet been developed to a stage of technological feasibility and for which the ultimate realizability is uncertain was written off during the first quarter of 1998. On October 1, 1998, Codon ceased all operations. Codon's remaining assets were liquidated through a public auction in November 1998. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss based on the sales price of assets of approximately $529,000. Genetics Assets (Vysis, Inc. Transaction) On April 9, 1998, the Company completed a transaction with Vysis, Inc. in which Oncor conveyed to Vysis $0.5 million in cash and full rights and title to its non-oncology genetics probe assets ("Genetics Assets"), including primarily inventories (approximately $1.2 million) and intellectual property, in exchange for two licenses to patents held by Vysis. (These two licences were surrendered in the November 24, 1998 transaction discussed below.) In addition, the parties agreed to settle all legal action between them with respect to a suit brought by Vysis against the Company in September 1995. The Company recorded as an intangible asset the value of the licenses acquired in an amount of $1.7 million equal to the net book value of the assets conveyed. Accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized in the disposition of the Genetic Assets. Research Products Assets(Intergen Transaction) On June 30, 1998, the Company completed the sale of its Research Products Assets, including primarily inventory, laboratory equipment and intellectual property, to Intergen Company for cash consideration of $3.1 million. A gain of approximately $2.0 million was recorded on the sale representing the excess of the cash consideration received over the net book value of the assets sold. Oncormed, Inc. (Gene Logic Transaction) On September 28, 1998, pursuant to a plan of merger between Oncormed, Inc. and Gene Logic, Inc. ("Gene Logic"), the Company exchanged 900,000 shares representing all its shares in Oncormed for approximately 420,000 shares of Gene Logic common stock. A gain of approximately $1.7 million was recorded on the transaction, representing the estimated net realizable value of the Gene Logic shares. Prior to this transaction, the Company accounted for its investment in Oncormed under the equity method of accounting. Such investment had been completely written off due to Oncormed's operating losses. The market value of the Gene Logic shares was approximately $2.9 million at December 31, 1998. Accordingly, an unrealized gain of $1.2 million has been recorded in stockholders' equity (deficiency). The market value of the Gene Logic shares held at March 31, 1999 was approximately $1.9 million. The change is due both to a decline in the market value and a sale of approximately 30,000 shares. In Situ Hybridization Technology Assets (Ventana Transaction) On November 23, 1998, the Company voluntarily surrendered assets related to its in situ Hybridization business to certain of the Company's secured creditors. The creditors then sold the assets to Ventana Medical Systems ("Ventana"). The purchase price was $5 million with an additional $0.5 million due the Company contingent on certain events. Proceeds from the sale to Ventana were used to satisfy secured creditors for approximately $4.2 million, pay legal fees of approximately $0.2 million and pay incentive amounts to certain members of management of approximately $0.5 million. The remaining $0.2 million was received by Oncor prior to year end. F-17 The Company recorded a gain on the disposition of these assets of approximately $0.4 million representing the excess of the value received over the net book value of the assets surrendered (approximately $4.6 million). The $0.5 million contingent portion of the purchase price was not recorded pending removal of the contingencies. The ultimate receipt of any of this amount is not known at this time. Appligene Oncore On February 10, 1999, the Company sold its 80% interest in Appligene Oncore ("Appligene"), a French company, to a Canadian company for $1 million. The amounts included in the accompanying financial statements relating to Appligene are (in thousands): Revenues $7,182 Net loss (1,836) Total assets 4,988 Total liabilities 3,356 The minority interest in consolidated subsidiary of $2.0 million and the deferred cumulative translation adjustment of $1.4 million at December 31, 1998 relate to Appligene. The equity in Appligene at December 31, 1998 has been written down to net realizable value of approximately $0.8 million, the net amount (including a provision for estimated 1999 net loss of approximately $0.1 million) realized in the sale of Appligene in February 1999. The following pro forma, unaudited balances comprise the Company's summarized consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 1998, assuming its interest in Appligene was sold as of that date and net cash proceeds of $0.8 million were received (dollars in thousands). (Unaudited) Current Assets: Cash $ 977 Short-term investments 91 Accounts receivable 35 Receivable from former officer/director 179 Investment in marketable securities 2,931 Other current assets 105 ---------- Total current assets 4,318 ========== (Continued) F-18 Current Liabilities: Accounts payable $ 3,562 Accrued expenses and other current liabilities 1,860 Notes payable 629 Liability to preferred shareholders 8,555 --------- Total current liabilities 14,606 --------- Stockholders' Deficiency: Common stock 315 Common stock warrants outstanding 1,191 Additional paid-in capital 150,952 Accumulated deficit (163,721) Treasury stock (221) Accumulated other comprehensive income - cumulative unrealized loss on investments in marketable securities 1,196 -------- Total stockholders' deficiency (10,288) -------- Total liabilities and deficiency $ 4,318 ======== 4. INCOME TAXES With respect to U.S. federal income tax, as of December 31, 1998 the Company has net operating loss carry-forwards ("NOL's") of approximately $122 million available to offset future taxable income. The Company also has research and development tax credits of approximately $1.8 million available to reduce future U.S. federal income tax. The NOL and research and development credits may be used through 2018, but began to expire in 1998. Despite the NOL and credit carry-forwards, the Company may have an income tax liability in future years due to the application of the alternative minimum tax rules. In addition, the utilization of these tax NOL's and credit carry-forwards is subject to statutory limitations regarding changes in ownership and the bankruptcy proceedings. SFAS No. 109 requires that the tax benefit of financial reporting NOL's and tax credits be recorded as an asset to the extent that management assesses the utilization of such NOL's and tax credits to be "more likely than not." The Company's net deferred tax assets, the only material element of which is net operating loss carry forwards, was approximately $50.9 million at December 31, 1998 and $43.9 million at December 31, 1997. A valuation reserve was recorded against the entire amount of the net deferred tax assets, since the Company has incurred operating losses in the United States since inception. The net deferred tax assets are primarily attributable to net operating losses, capital losses and tax credits. F-19 Net operating losses and research and development tax credits expire as follows (in thousands): Year of R&D Year of R&D Expiration NOL Tax Credits Expiration NOL Tax Credits - ---------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ------- ----------- 1999 $ 315 $23 2007 $11,137 $175 2000 372 27 2008 10,707 301 2001 848 41 2009 14,789 307 2002 1,747 78 2010 11,782 103 2003 1,807 100 2011 19,856 154 2004 1,705 - 2012 21,888 271 2005 2,538 51 2018 17,500 140 2006 4,991 99 Net operating loss and research and development credits relating to and available only for the French operations were lost with the disposition of Appligene in 1999. 5. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSE In 1996, the Company adopted a restructuring plan to discontinue the development, manufacture, sale and support of certain imaging, research and non-oncology products. Recorded restructuring costs of $2.1 million comprise the charge-off of discontinued products, charge-off of goodwill associated with a related business unit, and severance payments to former employees whose employment was terminated in conjunction with the plan. The discontinued product lines were customized, computerized, microscopic imaging systems, certain gene-based DNA probes chemistries and certain other chemical test kits and components. The related charge was incurred in conjunction with the Company's decision to cease field sales and support for these lines. 6. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Preferred Stock In January 1998, the Company completed a $5 million equity financing in a private placement of 500 shares of Series A preferred stock. The preferred stock is convertible into common stock of the Company under certain circumstances, generally in a period beginning after 90 days, at prices equal to the lower of (i) 100% (reducing over time to 90%) of the average of the lowest closing bid price of the common stock on any two of the most recent 22 trading days preceding the date of conversion and (ii) $4.56. Dividends at rate of 6% are payable upon conversion in cash or common stock. In addition, the Company issued warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock in connection with the transaction, with an exercise price of $5.16 per share. The investors and the Company each have rights to increase the amount of the investment under certain circumstances. Approximately $0.3 million of the net proceeds was allocated to the value of the warrants. Subsequent to December 31, 1998, holders of the preferred stock converted 6 shares of preferred stock into 1,997,992 shares of the Company's common stock. In addition, the Series A preferred stock agreements provide for redemption rights upon the occurrence of certain events. Although disputed by the Company, the holders of the preferred stock believe that those events occurred during 1998 and, accordingly, the Company has recorded $8.6 million as a current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, representing the redemption values plus additional accrued charges and interest as specified in the private placement F-20 agreements. Additional interest of approximately $0.9 million that under the agreements accrues upon satisfaction of certain redemption requirements of the shareholders has not been recorded. Common Stock, Convertible Notes and Warrants On December 30, 1996, the Company completed a private placement of 6% five-year unsecured notes convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 250,000 share of the Company's Common Stock. The Company received total proceeds of approximately $10.0 million of which $0.4 million was allocated to the warrants. Issuance costs were not significant. The notes are immediately convertible at the option of the holder and were to be automatically converted upon maturity. The notes are convertible at the lesser of $5 per share or 80.0% of the market value of the Common Stock at the time of conversion over a period of approximately five months. During the three years ended December 31, 1998, the Company had two other similar private placements. All these notes had been converted. On all of the convertible debt instruments with beneficial conversion features, the Company records as interest expense the difference between the conversion price and the quoted price of the stock issuable upon conversion of convertible debentures with a fixed conversion benefit. The imputed interest is recorded over the minimum holding periods of the debentures pursuant to which the maximum beneficial conversion feature is earned. The interest expense recorded in 1998, 1997 and 1996 pursuant to this accounting convention is approximately $0.1 million, $3.0 million and $2.6 million, respectively. In August 1998, warrant holders exercised options to acquire 1.1 million shares of Oncormed common stock from Oncor at exercise prices of $0.75 to $1 a share. The Company recorded a gain on the exercise in the amount of approximately $1.0 million. In addition, the Company recognized the deferred gain recorded upon the granting of the warrants. During 1998, the Company also granted warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2.9 million shares of its common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00 per share in connection with financing received. Stock Options The Company maintains a Stock Option Plan (the "1992 plan")which was approved by the Board of Directors in 1992. This 1992 plan incorporated the Company's former Incentive Stock Option Plan, Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors. The aggregate number of shares available for issuance under the 1992 Plan may not exceed 5,015,604 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment from time to time in the event of certain changes to the Company's capital structure. In May 1997, the Board of Directors authorized a regrant program (the "1997 Regrant Program") which allowed active current option holders, excluding executive officers, to forego earned vesting and elect to exchange all or some of their outstanding options, ranging in exercise price from $4.125 to $7.50 per share, for new options under the Company's 1992 Plan, to purchase shares of the common stock at a new price of $3.625, the closing price on May 23, 1997, the regrant date under the 1997 Regrant Program. Options to purchase approximately 462,000 shares of common stock were canceled and regranted. Stock options that were regranted began vesting over a four-year period measured from May 23, 1997. F-21 In June, 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a second regrant program (the "1998 Regrant Program") which allowed active current option holders to exchange options ranging in exercise price from $1.0625 to $6.875 per share, for new options to purchase shares of the common stock at a new price of $0.875, the closing price on June 1, 1998, the regrant date under the 1998 Regrant Program. Options to purchase approximately 2,019,000 shares of common stock were canceled and regranted. The Company accounts for this plan under APB Opinion No. 25, under which no compensation cost has been recognized. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts: 1997 1996 ---- ---- Net Loss (in thousands): As Reported $(30,947) $(28,980) Pro Forma $(32,814) $(30,545) Net Loss Per Share: As Reported $(1.21) $(1.26) Pro Forma $(1.28) $(1.33) Because the method of accounting promulgated by the Statement has not been applied to options granted prior to January 1, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost may not be representative of that to be expected on a pro forma basis in future years. The fair market value of each option grant is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions used for each year: risk-free interest rates of 4 percent; expected lives of 5.9 years for the options; and expected volatility of 56%. The effects of the provisions of SFAS No. 123 on 1998 pro forma results are not material, taken as a whole.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES On April 27, 1998, the Company received a summons and complaint in connection with a lawsuit entitled Key Technology, Inc. v. Oncor, Inc. in the Superior Court of the State of Washington for the County of Walla Walla. The complaint alleges breach of contract and fraud in connection with a June 1996 asset purchase agreement between Key Technology and the Company relating to the sale of the Company's 1300 video inspection systems to Key Technology, and seeks damages against the Company of $1,475,000. A failure to successfully defend against or settle that suit would likely result in damages being assessed against the Company. Management currently can not estimate what liability, if any, could result from this dispute. During 1998, two entities who entered into a partnership agreement with the Company have asserted that the Company did not disclose certain information to them prior to entering into the agreement. The entities have requested that the Company relinquish all rights obtained by the Company and, if the Company does not relinquish such rights, "appropriate action" will be taken. No settlement has been reached in this matter and, to date, no suit has been filed or demand received. Management currently can not estimate what liability, if any, could result from this dispute. In addition to the above enumerated proceedings, a number of claims and cases have been filed by creditors and former employees of the Company relating to unpaid amounts for goods and services provided the Company. Payments of these amounts are now stayed by the Bankruptcy Proceedings. The Company leases office space and laboratory facilities under operating lease agreements which expire in periods from 1999 to 2004. Lessor concessions with respect to the space buildout and rental abatement, result in a deferred rent credit at December 31, 1997 of $0.3 million. Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 was approximately $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Minimum lease payments under these lease agreements at December 31, 1998 are as follows (in thousands): For the Year Ending December 31, Amount ------------------- ------ 1999 $143 2000 105 2001 92 2002 89 2003 88 2004 22 --- $539 === In February 1995, the Company entered into a lease which was accounted for as a capital lease with a net present value of future obligations of approximately $1.2 million as of December 31, 1998. SEGMENT INFORMATION The Company operated in a single business segment, biotechnology. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas and major customers. As of December 31, 1998, except for the operations of Appligene in France, the Company had no further operations generating revenues. As indicated in Note 3, Appligene was disposed of in February 1999. F-24 Product sales relating to each geographic region are as follows (in thousands): 1998 1997 1996 ---- ---- ---- United States $3,060 $ 5,068 $ 6,644 Europe 7,536 6,299 7,019 Japan 539 801 965 Other 418 781 695 ------ ------ ------- $11,553 $12,949 $15,323 ====== ====== ======= Revenues, largely in Europe, attributable to the Company's operations in France for each of the three years ended December 31, 1998 were $7.2 million, $6.6 million and $7.1 million, respectively. The net loss for the same periods were $1.8 million, $4.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The Company's identifiable assets in France at December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996 were carried at approximately $5.0 million, $5.1 million and $9.8 million, respectively. 8. LINE OF CREDIT During 1997, the Company obtained a $3 million line of credit which expired in 1998. Outstanding borrowing at December 31, 1997 were $3 million. The interest rate effective for the line of credit as of December 31, 1997 was 7.58%. The Company issued options to purchase 900,000 shares of Oncormed, Inc. (a 25% owned affiliate), held by the Company in conjunction with establishing and extending this line of credit. The Company valued the options at approximately $3.8 million. Approximately $1.8 million of the value of the options was recorded as a charge to interest and other non-operating expense in 1997. The remaining deferred financing fees were charged to expense in 1998 as the line of credit was paid in full in 1998. 9. RETIREMENT PLAN In 1991, the Company adopted a defined contribution savings plan (the "Plan") in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan covers all permanent employees who have attained the age of 21. Under the Plan, the Company may make discretionary contributions. The Company had made no discretionary contributions to date and has no plans to do so. F-25 10.
