                                 June 30, 1997
                                  (Unaudited)


          NOTE 1

          The condensed consolidated  financial information herein  is
          unaudited, other  than  the Condensed  Consolidated  Balance
          Sheet at  December  31,  1996, which  is  derived  from  the
          audited  financial  statements.     The  unaudited   interim
          financial  statements   include  the   accounts  of   UNIMED
          Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  (the Company),  and its  wholly-owned
          subsidiary, Unimed Canada, Inc.

          In the opinion  of the Company,  the accompanying  unaudited
          interim  consolidated  financial   statements  contain   all
          adjustments (consisting  of  normal  recurring  adjustments)
          necessary  to  present  fairly  the  Company's  consolidated
          financial position  as  of June  30,  1997, the  results  of
          operations for the three and six months ended June 30,  1997
          and 1996 and changes in cash flows for the six month periods
          ended June 30, 1997 and 1996.

          While the Company  believes that  the disclosures  presented
          are adequate to make the  information not misleading, it  is
          suggested  that  these   condensed  consolidated   financial
          statements  be  read  in  conjunction  with  the   financial
          statements and notes included  in the Company's 1996  annual
          report on Form 10-K filed  with the Securities and  Exchange
          Commission.

          Item 2

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
                       OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

          Results of Operations

          Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 vs. Six Months Ended June 30,
          1996

          Total revenue  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1997
          increased 30 percent over total  revenue for the six  months
          ended June 30, 1996.   Total revenue  consists of net  sales
          and research  and  development  revenue.    Net  income  was
          $317,841 or three cents per share  for the six months  ended
          June 30, 1997.  Net income for the six months ended June 30,
          1996 was $571,476 or seven cents per share.

          Net sales for the six months  ended June 30, 1997  increased
          17 percent or $544,001 to  $3,792,823 compared to net  sales
          of $3,248,822 for the six months  ended June 30, 1996.   The
          increase in net sales was attributable to a combination of a
          7% sales increase in Marinol [R] (dronabinol) due to  higher
          unit volume and  the introduction in  March of Maxaquin  [R]
          (lomefloxacin), which generated  sales of  $315,201 for  the
          period ending June 30, 1997.

          Total revenue, in addition  to net sales, included  $745,060
          in research and development revenue in the six month  period
          ended June 30, 1997.  The  Company expects to recognize  the
          remaining deferred research and development revenue prior to
          the end of 1997.

          Cost of sales decreased  by $280,185 or  19 percent for  the
          six month period  ended June 30,  1997 compared  to the  six
          month period ended June 30, 1996.   This decrease is due  to
          lower Marinol inventory costs.  Cost of sales expressed as a
          percent of  net sales  decreased to  32% for  the six  month
          period ended June 30, 1997 from  46% for the same period  in
          1996.

          Operating and administrative expenses increased for the  six
          months ended June 30, 1997 by $191,418 or 18 percent.   This
          increase is due  in part to  personnel-related expenses  and
          expenses  associated   with  expansion   of  the   corporate
          headquarters.  Operating  and administrative  expenses as  a
          percentage of net sales were 33%  in both six month  periods
          ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

          Sales and marketing  expenses increased $516,616  or 99%  in
          the six  month period  ended June  30, 1997  as the  Company
          began Maxaquin-related product launch programs and  expanded
          the sales  force and  sales management  groups.   Sales  and
          marketing expenses were 27% and 16% of net sales for the six
          month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.
<PAGE>
          Research and  development  expenses during  the  six  months
          ended June 30, 1997 were $1,343,699 compared to $775,909  in
          the same period in 1996.  Research and development  expenses
          were 35% of  net sales  for the  six months  ended June  30,
          1997, and 24  percent of net  sales for the  same period  in
          1996.  The increase  is due to   clinical development  which
          included the addition  of clinical and  regulatory staff  to
          manage  clinical   development  programs.     Research   and
          development expenses of $745,060 were offset by research and
          development revenue in the six months ended June 30, 1997.

          The Company  expects research  and development  expenses  to
          increase as planned product development continues and to  be
          partially  offset  by  research  and  development   revenues
          through the end of 1997.


          Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 vs. Three Months Ended June
          30, 1996

          Total revenue  for  the three  months  ended June  30,  1997
          increased twenty percent  over total revenue  for the  three
          months ended June 30, 1996.   Total revenue consists of  net
          sales and research and development revenue.  Net income  was
          $70,100 or one  cent per share  for the  three months  ended
          June 30, 1997.  Net income  for the three months ended  June
          30, 1996 was $352,037 or four cents per share.

          Net sales  for the  three months  ended June  30, 1997  were
          $1,821,940, representing  an increase  of eight  percent  or
          $129,365 compared to net sales  of $1,692,575 for the  three
          months ended June 30, 1996.   The increase in net sales  was
          attributable to a  combination of a  2% decrease in  Marinol
          sales  for  the  quarter  ended   June  30,  1997  and   the
          introduction in March of Maxaquin which generated net  sales
          of $158,021 for the quarter.  The Marinol sales decrease was
          attributable to a decrease in foreign Marinol sales.

          Total revenue, in addition  to net sales, included  $302,333
          in research  and  development  revenue in  the  three  month
          period  ended  June  30,  1997.    The  Company  expects  to
          recognize the  remaining deferred  research and  development
          revenue prior to the end of 1997.

          Cost of sales decreased  by $195,034 or twenty-four  percent
          for the three month period ended  June 30, 1997 compared  to
          the three month period ended June  30, 1996.  This  decrease
          is due  to lower  Marinol inventory  costs.   Cost of  sales
          expressed as a percent  of net sales  decreased to 34%  from
          48% for the same period in 1996.

          Operating and administrative  expenses decreased during  the
          three month period  ended June 30,  1997 by  $30,710 or  six
          percent.    Operating  and  administrative  expenses  as   a
          percentage of net sales were 26%  in the three months  ended
          June 30, 1997 compared to 30% for the same period in 1996.
<PAGE>
          Sales and marketing  expenses increased $249,945  or 83%  in
          the three month period  ended June 30,  1997 as the  Company
          began Maxaquin-related product launch programs and  expanded
          the sales  force and  sales management  groups.   Sales  and
          marketing expenses were 30% of net sales in the three  month
          period ended  June 30,  1997 compared  to 18%  for the  same
          period in 1996.

          Research and development expenses in the three month  period
          ended June 30, 1997 were  $624,569, compared to $344,838  in
          the same period  ended in  1996.   Research and  development
          expenses were 34% and 20% of  net sales for the three  month
          periods ended June  30, 1997  and 1996,  respectively.   The
          increase is due to  clinical development which included  the
          addition of clinical and regulatory staff to manage clinical
          development programs.  The research and development expenses
          of $624,569 were offset by research and development  revenue
          of $302,333 for the three months ended June 30, 1997.

          The Company  expects research  and development  expenses  to
          increase as planned product development continues and to  be
          partially  offset  by  research  and  development   revenues
          through the end of 1997.


          Liquidity

          At June 30, 1997, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
          short-term   investments   of   $17,297,005   compared    to
          $20,829,786 at December 31, 1996, a decrease of $3,532,781.

          The Company  generated  net cash  from  operations  totaling
          $526,851 for the six  months ended June  30, 1997.   Current
          receivables decreased by $622,277 due to receipt of cash due
          under a foreign  license agreement  and a  royalty from  the
          Company's distributor of Marinol.

          On February 28, 1997, the Company acquired from G.D.  Searle
          & Co. (Searle),  a wholly-owned subsidiary  of the  Monsanto
          Company,  the  U.S.  marketing  and  distribution  right  to
          Maxaquin (lomefloxacin),  a  fluoroquinolone  anti-infective
          drug.     In   addition,  Unimed   will   make   sales-based
          distribution fee payments to Searle  during the term of  the
          agreement.  The  Company also recorded  long and  short-term
          obligations along with imputed interest on that  obligation,
          to be satisfied January 2, 1998 and 1999, respectively.

          In May  1997,  the  Company  initiated  a  stock  repurchase
          program.  To date, this program and other stock  repurchases
          have accounted for a decrease in cash of $462,976.
