This Beltsville-based company widened its losses during the quarter that ended June 30 but said comparisons with the second quarter of last year are misleading.
North American Vaccine made a $2 million gain in the second quarter of last year by selling 200,000 shares of an affiliate, BioChem Pharma Inc.
Without that gain, the company would have lost $1.9 million, or 10 cents a share, during the second quarter of 1991.
