Supplemental disclosure of non-cash financing transactions: During the first quarter of 1996, the Company acquired all rights to the Polytrap technology from Dow Corning Corporation in exchange for shares of Common Stock valued at $1,200,000. During the first quarter of 1996, the Company paid Biosource for the 1995 purchase commitment totalling $600,000 by issuing 94,000 shares of Common Stock. See accompanying notes. 5 6 ADVANCED POLYMER SYSTEMS, INC. NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995 (UNAUDITED) (1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of Advanced Polymer Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the Company") as of March 31, 1996 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995. These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, Premier, Inc. ("Premier"), Advanced Consumer Products, Inc., APS Analytical Standards, Inc., and APS Joint Venture Corporation. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The business of Premier, the Company's marketing and distribution subsidiary, is highly seasonal in that it markets and distributes sunscreen products under an exclusive distribution agreement with Johnson & Johnson. In addition, effective September 1995, the Company licensed from Reckitt & Colman the exclusive U.S. rights to the Neet(R) line of depilatory products. Sales of the two sunscreen products and the depilatory product line are heavily weighted to the first two quarters of the calendar year, so the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company considers all short-term investments which have original maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Investments which have original maturities longer than three months are classified as marketable securities in the accompanying balance sheets. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform with the presentation in 1996. 6 7 (2) COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING AND PER SHARE INFORMATION Common stock outstanding as of March 31, 1996 is as follows:
Number of Shares ---------------- Common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1995 17,026,666 Options exercised after December 31, 1995 139,439 Shares issued to Lander Company 356,761 Shares issued in debt financing arrangements 10,675 Shares issued for acquisition of all rights to the Polytrap technology from Dow Corning 200,000 Shares issued to pay Biosource for the 1995 Melanin commitment 94,000 ---------- TOTAL SHARES 17,827,541 ==========
Per share information is based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, as adjusted during each of the periods. Stock options and warrants (common stock equivalents) are not included in the calculations as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive. (3) SALE OF COMMON STOCK In the first quarter of 1996, the Company formed a collaborative agreement with the Lander Company under which the Company received $2,976,000 in net proceeds from the sale of 356,761 shares of common stock. In addition, the Company will receive licensing fees, royalties on product sales and research and development funding in the future. (4) ACQUISITION OF ALL RIGHTS TO POLYTRAP TECHNOLOGY In the first quarter of 1996, APS acquired all rights to the Polytrap technology from Dow Corning in exchange for 200,000 shares of APS Common Stock. APS recorded intangible assets totalling $1,200,000 relating to this transaction. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight line basis over a period of approximately 10 years, which is the remaining life of the main patent acquired. 7 8 (5) NOTES PAYABLE During the first quarter of 1996, the Company received advances from a supplier totalling $500,000, with an interest rate equal to the Prime Rate. Interest and principal are due in October 1996. (6) SUBSEQUENT EVENT In the second quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of up to $5,000,000 of common stock and warrants, which can be initiated at the Company's sole discretion. In May 1996, the Company executed the sale of common stock and warrants totalling $2,000,000. 8 9 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST THOUSAND) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995 To the extent that this report discusses financial projections, information or expectations about our products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made. These include, among others, uncertainty associated with timely approval and acceptance of new products, the costs associated with new product introductions, establishment of new corporate alliances, progress in research and development programs and other risks listed from time to time in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 totalled $5,153,000 compared to $5,141,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. Product revenues increased by 19% to $5,103,000 from $4,286,000 while licensing revenues totalled $50,000 compared to $855,000 in the year-ago quarter. The increase in product revenues was primarily attributable to sales of the Neet(R) depilatory which was licensed from Reckitt & Colman in the third quarter of 1995, and increased shipments of the Exact line of OTC acne medication products. Additionally, sales of the Everystep foot powder also increased due to a sampling program. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in orders from Scott Paper Co. due to that company's merger with Kimberly-Clark, and a reduction in sales of Take-Off makeup remover because the first quarter of 1995 included pipeline fill on the launch of the new Microsponge(R)-entrapped version. Licensing fees decreased by $805,000 because the first quarter of 1995 included a milestone payment of $750,000 from Johnson & Johnson on the filing of the New Drug Application (NDA) on Microsponge-entrapped tretinoin. Gross profit on product revenues for the first quarter of 35% increased by 6 percentage points due mainly to the increased percentage of higher margin consumer products, primarily Neet. Research and development expense decreased by $41,000 or 4% due to reduced spending on now-completed clinical studies, partially offset by increased expenses associated with patent applications. Selling and marketing expense increased by 9 10 $336,000 or 30% due to higher variable costs associated with rising product sales volume and expanded activities in the ethical pharmaceutical and personal care markets. Advertising and promotion costs increased by $324,000 or 119% due primarily to a sampling program for consumer products. General and administrative expense decreased by $77,000 or 10% due primarily to general cost-containment measures. Interest income decreased by $59,000 or 60% due to lower interest rates on lower average cash balances. Interest expense increased by $233,000 or 352% as a result of debt financings arranged in the second half of 1995 whereby the Company raised $7.4 million. The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of $2,019,000 represented an increase of $1,110,000 over the quarter ended March 31, 1995. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY Total assets as of March 31, 1996 were $24,621,000 compared with $23,082,000 at December 31, 1995, and working capital increased to $7,495,000 from $4,976,000. In the same period, cash and cash equivalents increased to $5,547,000 from $5,173,000. During the first quarter, Company operations used $3,722,000 of cash. The Company invested approximately $900,000 in product research and development and $2,000,000 in selling, marketing and promoting new products. The Company has financed its operations, including product research and development, from amounts raised in debt and equity financings, the sale of consumer products, Microsponge delivery systems and analytical standard products; payments received under licensing agreements; and interest earned on short-term investments. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company formed a collaborative agreement with the Lander Company under which the Company received $2,976,000 in net proceeds from the sale of stock, and will receive licensing fees, royalties on product sales and research and development funding in the future. In addition, the Company received $730,000 in proceeds from the exercise of common stock options during the quarter. In prior years, cash was expended with regard to Phase III clinical tests of tretinoin entrapped in a Microsponge delivery system for the treatment of acne, and of APS' melanin-Microsponge sun protectant product, together with related research and development costs, all of which decreased substantially in 1995 following the filing of the respective NDAs. Additionally, the Company is contractually obligated to purchase minimum annual quantities of melanin. Failure to purchase the minimum quantities results in a mandatory annual payment of $600,000 to its melanin supplier under "take or pay" provisions. The minimum financial commitments not yet expensed by the Company under the current agreements are $600,000 per annum for each of the years in the two year period ending December 31, 1998, in aggregate $1,200,000. 10 11 In the second quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for the sale of up to $5,000,000 of common stock and warrants, which can be initiated at the Company's sole discretion. This, together with the Company's existing cash and cash equivalents, collections of trade accounts receivable, interest income and other revenue producing activities including milestone payments, are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's near-term cash requirements assuming no changes to existing business plans. 11 12 PART II.

        2.8  Changes in Condition.  Except as disclosed in the 1995 10-Q's,
there has not been since December 31, 1994, any change in the business,
properties, prospects or financial condition of APS which would constitute a
Material Adverse Event.

        2.9  Patents and Other Proprietary Rights.

             (a)  To the best knowledge of APS: (i) APS has sufficient rights to
use all patents, patent applications, inventions, trademarks, service marks,
trade names and copyrights, all licenses with respect to the foregoing, and all
trade secrets, information, proprietary rights and processes necessary to the
proper conduct of its business; and (ii) such business does not conflict with
or constitute an infringement of the rights of others;

             (b)  APS has not received any communications alleging that APS has
violated or, by conducting its business as proposed, would violate any of the
patents, patent applications, inventions, trademarks, service marks, trade
names, copyrights or trade secrets, information, proprietary rights or
processes of any other person or entity; and

             (c)  APS has obtained from all key employees and consultants to
APS agreements with respect to the confidentiality and non-disclosure of
proprietary information of APS.

        2.10  Compliance With Other Agreements. APS is not in violation of any
term or provision of its Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, or any
material term or provision of any indebtedness, mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, judgment or, to APS's knowledge, any decree, order, statute, rule or
regulation applicable to APS, in each case, or in the aggregate, the violation
of which would constitute a Material Adverse Event. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the issuances of the Shares by APS will not
result in any violation of, be in conflict with, or constitute a default under,
with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, any provision of
APS's Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, any material contract,
obligation or commitment to which APS is a party or by which it is bound, or
any provision of any judgment, decree or order to which APS is a party or by
which it is bound.

        2.11  Governmental Consents. No consent, approval, order or
authorization of, or registration, qualification, designation, declaration or
filing with, any federal, state, local or provincial governmental authority on
the part of APS is required in connection with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for possible filings
pursuant to Section 25102 (f) of the California Corporate Securities Law of
1968, as amended, and the rules thereunder, other applicable blue sky filings
and Regulation D promulgated under the Act, which filings will be effected if
necessary within 15 days of the Closing.

        2.12  Private Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the representations
and warranties of PURCHASER contained in Section 3 hereof, the offer, issue and
sale of the Shares are and will be 


                                      -4-

   5
exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act,
and have been registered or qualified (or are exempt from registration and
qualification) under the registration, permit or qualification requirement of
all applicable state securities laws.

        2.13  Full Disclosure.  The representations and warranties of APS
contained in this Agreement and the information included in the 1994 10-K and
the 1995 10-Q's, when read together, do not contain any untrue statements of a
material fact or omit any material fact necessary to make the statements
contained therein or herein in view of the circumstances under which they were
made not misleading; provided, however, that no representation or warranty is
made by APS that any financial or market projections, product development
schedules or forecasts will, in fact, be achieved; provided, further, that with
respect to such projections, schedules and forecasts, APS represents that such
projections, schedules and forecasts were prepared in good faith.

    3.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER.  PURCHASER represents
and warrants to APS as follows:

        3.1  Investment Intent.  This Agreement is made with PURCHASER in
reliance upon PURCHASER's representation to APS that the Shares to be received
by PURCHASER will be acquired for investment for PURCHASER's own account, not
as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any
part thereof, and that PURCHASER has no present intention of selling, granting
any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.  PURCHASER further
represents that PURCHASER has no contract, undertaking, agreement or
arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such
person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Shares.

        3.2  Shares Not Registered.  PURCHASER understands and acknowledges
that the Shares will not be registered under the Act on the grounds that the
offering and sale of securities contemplated by this Agreement are exempt from
registration under the Act, and that APS's reliance upon such exemption is
predicated upon PURCHASER's representations set forth in this Agreement.

        3.3  Rule 144.  PURCHASER covenants that in no event will PURCHASER
dispose of any of the Shares (other than pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") under the Act ("Rule
144") or pursuant to a registration statement filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Act) unless and until:

             (a)  PURCHASER shall have notified APS of the proposed disposition
and shall have furnished APS with a statement of the circumstances surrounding
the proposed disposition; and

                                      -5-




        
   6
                (b)  if requested by APS, PURCHASER shall have furnished APS
with an opinion of PURCHASER's counsel reasonably satisfactory in form and
substance to APS and APS's counsel to the effect that: (i) such disposition
will not require registration under the Act; and (ii) appropriate action
necessary for compliance with the Act and any applicable state, local or
foreign law has been taken. The restrictions on transfer imposed by this
Section 3 shall cease and terminate as to the Shares when: (1) such securities
shall have been effectively registered under the Act and sold by the holder
thereof in accordance with such registration; or (2) an opinion of the kind
described in the preceding sentence states that all future transfers of such
securities by the holder thereof would be exempt from registration under the
Act. Each certificate evidencing the Shares shall bear an appropriate
restrictive legend as set forth in Section 3.6 below, except that such
certificate shall not bear such legend if the transfer was made in compliance
with Rule 144 or pursuant to a registration statement or, if the opinion of
counsel referred to above is to the further effect that such legend is not
required in order to establish compliance with any provisions of the Act.

        3.4  No Short Sales.  PURCHASER further covenants that, until the
Registration Statement referred to in Section 6.2 hereof is declared effective,
PURCHASER will not:

                (a)  sell any equity security of APS if PURCHASER does not own
the security sold (or, if PURCHASER owns such security, PURCHASER shall deliver
it against such sale within 20 days thereafter); or

                (b)  engage in any other transaction which involves the
"selling short", as that term is generally understood in the securities
industry, of any equity security of APS.

        3.5  Accredited Investor.  PURCHASER is an "Accredited Investor" as
that term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the Act, and has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of PURCHASER's prospective investment in the
Shares: (a) PURCHASER has received all the information it has requested from
APS and considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to purchase the
Shares; (b) PURCHASER has the ability to bear the economic risks of PURCHASER's
prospective investment; and (c) PURCHASER is able, without materially impairing
its financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time
and to suffer complete loss on its investment.

        3.6  Legends.

                (a)  All certificates for the Shares shall bear the following 
legend:

                                      -6-


   7
                        "The securities represented hereby have not been
                registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act").
                Such securities may not be transferred unless a Registration
                Statement under the Act is in effect as to such transfer or in
                the opinion of counsel for the issuer, an exemption from
                registration is then available."

                        (b)  The certificates evidencing the Shares shall also
bear any legend required by the Commissioner of Corporations of the State of
California or required pursuant to any state, local or foreign law governing
such securities.

                3.7  Reports under Securities Exchange Act of 1934. With a view
to making available to the PURCHASER the benefits of Rule 144 and any other
rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit the
PURCHASER to sell securities of APS to the public without registration, APS
agrees to:

                     (a)  make and keep public information available, as those
terms are defined in Rule 144;

                     (b)  file with the Commission in a timely manner all
reports and other documents required of APS under the Act and the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "1934 Act"); and

                     (c)  furnish to the PURCHASER, so long as the PURCHASER
owns any Shares forthwith upon request: (i) a written statement by APS that it
has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Act and the 1934
Act; (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of APS and such
other reports and document so filed by APS; and (iii) such other information as
may be reasonably requested in availing the PURCHASER of any rule or regulation
of the Commission which permits the selling of any such securities without
registration.

                                      -8-

   9
                (c)  "Holder" shall mean any holder of outstanding Registrable
Securities which have not been sold to the public, but only if such holder is
PURCHASER or an assignee or transferee of Registration rights as permitted by

                (d)  The terms "Register", "Registered" and "Registration"
refer to a registration effected by preparing and filing a registration
statement in compliance with the Securities Act ("Registration Statement"), and
the declaration or ordering of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.

                (e)  "Registrable Securities" shall mean the Shares purchased
by or issued to PURCHASER at the Closing, including any Common Stock issued
with respect to the Shares pursuant to stock splits, stock dividends and
similar distributions, so long as such Shares have not been sold to the public
in a public distribution or a public securities transaction or sold in a single
transaction exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements

legends with respect to such Shares shall have been removed in connection with
such sale.

Securities by filing a Registration Statement with the Commission within 30
days after the Closing. APS shall use its best efforts to effect such

eligible to register securities on Form S-3 for an offering of Registrable
Securities by the PURCHASER or any Holder; if APS is not so eligible, it shall
use its best efforts to effect such Registrations on Form S-1. As of the date
hereof, APS is eligible to register securities on Form S-3.


                                      -9-

          6.2.2 Registration of Other Securities. The Registration Statement
filed under this Section 6 may include securities of APS other than Registrable
Securities; provided, however, that neither PURCHASER or any Holder shall be
required to utilize an underwriter in connection with the sale of their

          6.2.3 Blue Sky. In connection with the Registration pursuant to
Section 6, APS will exercise its best efforts to Register and qualify the
securities covered by the Registration Statement under such other securities or
Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions (not to exceed twenty) as shall be
reasonably appropriate for the distribution of such securities; provided,
however, that:

                (a) APS shall not be required to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or
jurisdictions, unless APS is already subject to service in such jurisdiction;
and

                (b) notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
in the event any jurisdiction in which the securities shall be qualified imposes
a non-waivable requirement that expenses incurred in connection with the
qualification of the securities be borne by selling shareholders, such expenses
shall be payable pro rata by selling shareholders.

          6.3 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses (but not
Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with the Registration pursuant to
Section 6 shall be borne by APS.

          6.4 Registration Procedures. Subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement, APS shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

              (a) Prepare and file with the Commission a Registration
Statement with respect to such securities within 30 days from the date of the
Closing and use its diligent best efforts to cause such Registration Statement
to become effective as promptly as possible thereafter and to remain effective
for a period equal to the shorter of: (i) two years from the date of the
Closing; or (ii) until the distribution described in the Registration Statement
has been completed.

              (b) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and
supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection

provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all
securities covered by such Registration Statement.

              (c) Furnish to the Holders participating in such Registration and
the underwriters, if any, of the securities being Registered, such reasonable
number of copies of the


                                      -10-


   11
Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus and final prospectus as they may
request in order to facilitate the public offering of such securities.

        6.5  Information Furnished by Holder.  It shall be a condition
precedent of APS's obligations under this Agreement that each Holder of
Registrable Securities included in any Registration furnish to APS such
information regarding such Holder and the distribution proposed by such Holder
as APS may reasonably request.

        6.6  Indemnification.
        
             6.6.1  Company's Indemnification of Holder.  To the extent
permitted by law, APS will indemnify each Holder, each of the officers,
directors, employees and constituent partners, and each person controlling such
Holder, with respect to which Registration, qualification or compliance of
Registrable Securities has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, from and
against all claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) to the extent such claims, losses, damages or liabilities arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a
material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any
related Registration Statement) incident to any such Registration, qualification
or compliance, or are based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, or any violation by APS of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to APS and relating
to action or inaction required of APS in connection with any such Registration,
qualification or compliance; and APS will reimburse each such Holder, each such
underwriter and each person who controls any such Holder or underwriter, for any
legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity contained in this Section 6.6.1 shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action if settlement is
effected without the consent of APS (which consent shall not unreasonably be
withheld) and; provided, further, that APS will not be liable in any such case
to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out
of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission based upon written
information furnished to APS by such Holder or controlling person and stated
expressly to be for use in connection with the offering of securities of APS. 

             6.6.2  Holder's Indemnification of Company.  To the extent
permitted by law, each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by such
Holder are included in the securities as to which such Registration,
qualification or compliance is being effected pursuant to this Agreement,
indemnify APS, each of its directors, officers and employees, each person who
controls APS within the meaning of the Securities Act, each other such Holder, 


                                      -11-

   12
and each of its officers, directors, employees and constituent partners, and
each person controlling such other Holder, from and against all claims, losses,
damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact
contained in any such Registration Statement, prospectus, offering circular or
other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or any violation by such Holder of any rule or
regulation promulgated under the Securities Act applicable to such Holder and
relating to action or inaction required of such Holder in connection with any
such Registration, qualification or compliance; and will reimburse APS, such
Holder, such directors, officers, employees, partners, persons or control
persons for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection
with defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case
to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged
untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration
Statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and
in conformity with written information furnished to APS by such Holder and
specifically approved in writing by such Holder for use in connection with the
offering of securities of APS; provided, however, that the indemnity contained
in this Section 6.6.2 shall not apply with respect to a Holder to amounts paid
in settlement of any claim, loss, damage, liability or action if settlement is
effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be
unreasonably delayed or withheld). 

         6.6.3  Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 6.6 of notice of the commencement of any
action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made
against an indemnifying party under this Section 6.6, notify the indemnifying
party in writing of the commencement thereof and generally summarize such
action. The indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in and to
assume the defense of such claim; provided, however, that the indemnifying party
shall be entitled to select counsel for the defense of such claim with the
approval of any parties entitled to indemnification, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that if either party reasonably
determines that there may be a conflict between the position of APS and a Holder
in conducting the defense of such action, suit or proceeding by reason of
recognized claims for indemnity under this Section 6.6, then counsel for such
party shall be entitled to conduct the defense to the extent reasonably
determined by such counsel to be necessary to protect the interest of such
party. The failure to notify an indemnifying party promptly of the commencement
of any such action, if prejudicial to the ability of the indemnifying party to
defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party, to the extent so
prejudiced, of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 6.6,
but the omission so to 

                                      -12-
   13
notify the indemnifying party will not relieve such party of any liability that
such party may have to any indemnified party otherwise other than under this
Section 6.6.

        6.7  Transfer of Rights.  The right to cause APS to Register securities
granted by APS to PURCHASER under this Agreement may be assigned by any Holder
to a transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities not sold to the
public acquiring at least 50,000 shares of such Holder's Registrable Securities
(equitably adjusted for any stock splits, subdivisions, stock dividends,
changes, combinations or the like); provided, however, that:

                (a)  APS must receive written notice prior to the time of said
transfer, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and
identifying the securities with respect to which such information and
Registration rights are being assigned; and 

                (b)  the transferee or assignee of such rights must not be a
person deemed by the Board of Directors of APS, in its best judgment, to be a
competitor or potential competitor of APS. Notwithstanding the limitations set
forth in the foregoing sentence respecting the minimum number of shares which
must be transferred and permitted transferees and assignees: (i) any Holder
which is a partnership may transfer such Holder's Registration rights to such
Holder's constituent partners without restriction as to the number or
percentage of shares acquired by any such constituent partner; and (ii) Section
6.7(b) shall not prohibit the transfer or assignment of such rights to an
affiliate of the PURCHASER.

        6.8  Nasdaq Listing.  Prior to Closing, APS shall file an application
to list the Shares for quotation on the Nasdaq National Market System.

        6.9  Limits on Resale.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in consideration
of the Registration and listing, PURCHASER on its own behalf and that of its
successors and assigns, agrees not to sell any of the Shares until the
Registration Statement is declared effective, and after the Registration
Statement has been declared effective with respect to the Shares, PURCHASER and
its successors and assigns may sell in the public market in any calendar
quarter no more than 25% of the Shares.

    7.  MISCELLANEOUS.  
       
        7.1  Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts
entered into and wholly to be performed within the State of California by
California residents.

        7.2  Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the exceptions specifically

hereto constitute the entire contract between APS and the PURCHASER relative to
the subject matter hereof. Any previous agreement between APS and the PURCHASER
with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement.

        7.4 Severability. Any invalidity, illegality or limitation of the
enforceability with respect to PURCHASER of any one or more of the provisions of
this Agreement, or any part thereof, whether arising by reason of the law of
PURCHASER's domicile or otherwise, shall in no way affect or impair the
validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement with respect to other
investors. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, it shall to the extent practicable, be modified so as to make it
valid, legal and enforceable and to retain as nearly as practicable the intent
of the parties, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 

        7.5 Amendment of Agreement. Any provision of this Agreement may be
amended only by a written instrument signed by APS and by PURCHASER.
