   NOTE 1

   The  condensed   consolidated  financial   information  herein   is
   unaudited, other than the  Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet  at
   December 31,  1997, 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  March
   31, 1998,  the results  of operations  for the  three months  ended
   March 31, 1998  and 1997 and  changes in cash  flows for the  three
   month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.

   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  1997  annual  report  on  Form  10-K/A  filed  with  the
   Securities and Exchange Commission.

   NOTE 2

   During the three months ended March  31, 1998, the Company  adopted
   the provisions of Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards  No.
   130, _Reporting Comprehensive Income_.  Total comprehensive  income
   for the three  months ended March  31, 1998 and  1997 was $131  and
   $208, respectively.

   As of  March 31,  1998 and  December  31, 1997,  accumulated  other
   comprehensive income,  as  reflected on  the  consolidated  balance
   sheets, was comprised of the following:

   Item 2

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


   Results of Operations

   Three Months Ended March 31, 1998 vs. Three Months Ended March 31,
   1997

   Net loss for  the three months  ended March 31,  1998 (the  "Fiscal
   1998 Period") was $1,706,921 or  nineteen cents per share  (basic).
   Net income for the three months  ended March 31, 1997 (the  "Fiscal
   1997 Period") was $247,741 or three cents per share (basic).

   Net  sales  for  the  Fiscal  1998  Period  increased  by  104%  or
   $2,042,739 to $4,013,622  compared to net  sales of $1,970,883  for
   the Fiscal 1997 Period.  The increase in net sales was attributable
   to a combination of a 27% sales increase in Marinol[R] (dronabinol)
   and a 69% sales increase in Maxaquin[R] (lomefloxacin), both due to
   higher  unit  volume,  and   to  the  introduction  of   Anadrol[R]
   (oxymetholone), an orally active  anabolic androgenic steroid  used
   to treat various anemias, which  generated net sales of  $1,449,974
   in February and March.  This  initial sales volume is  attributable
   to stocking the product distribution channels.

   Cost of sales  increased by  $312,521 or  53% for  the three  month
   period ended  March 31,  1998 compared  to the  three month  period
   ended March 31, 1997.   This increase is  due to higher unit  sales
   volume.   Cost  of  sales  expressed as  a  percent  of  net  sales
   decreased from 30% for the Fiscal  1997 Period to 23% for the  same
   period in 1998.   This decrease  is due to  a combination of  lower
   Marinol inventory  costs and  Maxaquin  and Anadrol  product  costs
   which are lower than those of Marinol.

   Operating and administrative expenses increased in the Fiscal  1998
   Period by $12,292 or 2%.  Operating and administrative expenses  as
   a percentage  of net  sales  were 20%  in  the Fiscal  1998  Period
   compared to 40% in the Fiscal 1997 Period.

   Sales and marketing expenses increased $1,598,455 to $2,083,905  in
   the Fiscal 1998 Period  as the Company  launched Anadrol and  began
   Anadrol  related  promotional  programs   as  well  as  adding   an
   integrated sales and marketing infrastructure that can provide  for
   the coordinated introduction of Anadrol to targeted markets.  Sales
   and marketing expenses  were 52% of  net sales in  the Fiscal  1998
   Period compared to 25% in the Fiscal 1997 Period.
 <PAGE>
   Net research and  development expenses  in the  Fiscal 1998  Period
   were $2,104,882 (research  and development  expenses of  $2,150,489
   less research  and development  revenues of  $45,607), compared  to
   $276,403  (research  and  development  expenses  of  $719,130  less
   research and development revenues of  $442,727) in the Fiscal  1997
   Period.  Research and  development expenses were  52% of net  sales
   for the Fiscal  1998 Period, and  14% of net  sales for the  Fiscal
   1997 Period.  This  increase is due  to clinical development  which
   included the acceleration of the two  Phase III studies related  to
   Androgel[TM] and Andractim[TM], the Company's two male testosterone
   replacement products, and the  addition of clinical and  regulatory
   staff to manage clinical development programs.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   At March  31, 1998,  the Company  had  cash, cash  equivalents  and
   short-term investments of $11,439,032,  compared to $14,787,113  at
   December 31,  1997, a  decrease of  $3,348,081.   This decrease  is
   primarily the  result of  payments on  obligations due  to  product
   acquisitions, an increase in  clinical development expenditures  as
   the Company continues to accelerate Phase III clinical trials,  and
   continued expansion of its sales and marketing efforts,  including,
   but not limited to, the launch of Anadrol.

   The Company used net cash in operations totaling $2,530,930 for the
   quarter ended March  31, 1998.   Current  receivables increased  by
   $2,585,285 due primarily to the  launch and subsequent stocking  of
   Anadrol  under  favorable  extended  payment  terms.    Inventories
   decreased $98,420 due to  ongoing product sales  and the timing  of
   new inventory deliveries.  Accrued and other liabilities  increased
   $950,403  due  primarily  to  the  reduction  in  gross  sales  for
   anticipated  Anadrol-related  rebates,  chargebacks,  returns   and
   discounts.

   Year 2000 Program

   The Company will continue to conduct a comprehensive review of  its
   computer systems to identify the systems that could be affected  by
   the _Year 2000_ issue and is  developing an implementation plan  to
   resolve the  issue.   The  Company  presently believes  that,  with
   modifications to existing software and converting to new  software,
   the  Year  2000  problem  will  not  pose  significant  operational
   problems for  the Company's  computer systems  as so  modified  and
   converted.  However, if such modifications and conversions are  not
   completed in a  timely manner,  the Year  2000 problem  may have  a
   material impact on the operations of the Company.
