     OTHER EVENTS
  On
     September 20, 1999, pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement
     and Plan of Reorganization dated as of July 14, 1999 (the "
     Merger Agreement") by and among Catalytica, Inc. ("
     Catalytica" or the "Company"), Pilot Acquisition
     Corporation ("Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
     Catalytica and Wyckoff Chemical Company, Inc. ("Wyckoff"),
     Catalytica consummated a merger with Wyckoff by means of a merger of
     Merger Sub into Wyckoff (the "Merger"), with Wyckoff
     remaining as the surviving corporation in the Merger. As a result of
     the Merger, Wyckoff became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Catalytica.
     The Merger qualifies as a pooling of interests for financial
     reporting purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles.
  In order
     to satisfy requirements under the Merger Agreement, the Company is
     filing herewith combined results for a 31-day period from October 1
     to October 31, 1999 of Catalytica. The financial results file
     herewith are for one month only and are not indicative of results
     for the Quarter ended December 31, 1999, or for any other period.
