NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MAXIM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

1.   PRINCIPLES OF INTERIM PERIOD REPORTING

Maxim  Pharmaceuticals,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  has  not  earned
significant  revenues  from  planned  principal operations.  Accordingly,
the  Company's  activities  have been  accounted  for as those of a
"Development  Stage Enterprise" as set forth in Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 7 ("SFAS 7".)

In the opinion of the Company, the unaudited financial  statements contain
all of the adjustments,  consisting only of normal  recurring  adjustments
and accruals,  necessary to present fairly the financial  position of the
Company as of June 30, 1999 and  September  30, 1998,  and the results of
operations  for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
and from  inception  (October 23, 1989) to June 30,  1999.  The results of
operations for the three  months and nine  months  ended June 30,  1999 are
not  necessarily  indicative  of the results to be expected  in  subsequent
periods  or for the year as a whole.  For  further  information,  refer to
the  financial statements and footnotes thereto in our Annual Report on Form
10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 1998.

2.   NET LOSS PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK

In accordance with Financial  Accounting  Standards Board Statement No. 128,
Earnings per Share ("SFAS 128"), net loss per share of common  stock is
computed by dividing the net loss by the  weighted  average  number of shares
of common stock  outstanding  during the period.  Dilutive  loss per share,
calculated  by including  the  additional common stock issuable upon exercise
of outstanding  options and warrants in the weighed average share
calculation, is not presented as these securities are antidilutive.

3.   LINE OF CREDIT AGREEMENT

At January 1, 1999,  $983,619 in  outstanding  advances  under an amended
line of credit with a bank converted to a term loan  payable in 48 equal
installments,  including  interest at prime plus 0.25%.  The loan is secured
by all assets of the Company.

4.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the nine months ended June 30, 1999 the Company  issued  85,544 and
228,127  shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants and options,
respectively.

5.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT - PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On July 20, 1999 the Company sold 206,874 shares of Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock in a private  transaction at a price of $97.25 per share. The
Company  received net proceeds of  approximately  $18.4 million after
placement fees and other  issuance  costs.  Each share of  preferred  stock
is  convertible  into 10 shares of the  Company's common  stock at a fixed
price of $9.725  per share of common  stock,  and  2,068,740  shares of
common  stock are issuable upon conversion of all of the preferred stock.

The  preferred  stock has a dividend  of 12%  payable in cash or in
additional  shares of  preferred  stock at the option of the holder.  The
Company may call for a mandatory  conversion  of the  preferred  stock into
common stock after 90 days.  The  preferred  shares were issued in a private
transaction  and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent
registration  or an  applicable  exemption  from  registration  requirements.
 The Company is obligated under the terms of this  transaction to file a
registration  statement  within 30 days of the sale of the preferred  stock
to  allow  resale  of the  common  stock  issuable  upon  conversion  of
such  shares.  If  such registration  statement is not effective  within 90
days after the closing of the sale of the preferred  stock, the dividend rate
on the preferred stock will increase to 15% until such registration statement
becomes effective.

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

MAXIM PHARMACEUTICALS, INC. (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

THIS  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL  CONDITION  AND
RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  CONTAINS  CERTAIN FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS  THAT
INVOLVE  RISKS  AND  UNCERTAINTIES.   SUCH  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS
INCLUDE STATEMENTS  REGARDING CASH  REQUIREMENTS.  SUCH STATEMENTS ARE ONLY
PREDICTIONS,  AND THE COMPANY'S ACTUAL RESULTS COULD DIFFER  MATERIALLY  FROM
THOSE  ANTICIPATED  OR PROJECTED IN SUCH  FORWARD-LOOKING  STATEMENTS.
FACTORS THAT COULD CAUSE OR CONTRIBUTE TO DIFFERENCES  INCLUDE RISKS
ASSOCIATED WITH CLINICAL  TRIALS AND PRODUCT  DEVELOPMENT, REGULATORY
APPROVAL AND GOVERNMENT  REGULATION OF THE COMPANY'S  PRODUCTS,  THE NEED FOR
ADDITIONAL  FUNDS AND THE UNCERTAINTY  OF ADDITIONAL  FUNDING AND  DEPENDENCE
ON  COLLABORATIVE  PARTNERS.  THESE FACTORS AND OTHERS ARE MORE FULLY
DESCRIBED IN THE COMPANY'S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1998.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS AND NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30,
1999 AND 1998

RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION  REVENUE - Research revenue  consisting of
collaborative  support and marketing fees for rights related to the Company's
Maxamine  clinical  trials totaled  $707,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1999. Research  revenue for the nine month  period  ended June 30, 1999
totaled  $890,000.  There were no such  revenues earned in the prior year.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT  EXPENSES - For the quarter ended June 30, 1999,
research and  development  expenses were $9,617,000,  an  increase  of
$3,542,000,  or 58%,  over the same  period in the prior  year.  This
increase  was primarily  attributable  to increased  activity  related to
clinical trials of Maxamine,  including  clinical trial site and contract
research  organization  costs, hiring additional  clinical and development
personnel,  and other clinical  costs.  These clinical trials include a Phase
III clinical trial in malignant  melanoma  commenced in the United States in
July 1997, an  international  Phase III malignant  melanoma  clinical trial
commenced in November 1997, a global Phase III clinical trial in acute
myelogenous  leukemia  commenced in February 1998, and a European Phase II
clinical trial in hepatitis C commenced in May 1999.

For the nine  months  ended June 30,  1999,  research  and  development
costs were  $27,046,000,  an  increase  of $14,568,000,  or 117%,  over the
same period of the prior year.  The increase  resulted from the Phase III
clinical trial efforts described above.

BUSINESS  DEVELOPMENT AND MARKETING AND GENERAL AND  ADMINISTRATIVE  EXPENSES -
Business  development and marketing expenses for the quarter ended June 30,
1999 were $435,000,  a decrease of $108,000,  or 20%, from the same quarter
of the prior  year.  This  decrease  was due to certain  market  research
expenses  incurred  in the prior  year's quarter  that were  completed  prior
to the current  quarter.  For the  quarter  ended June 30,  1999,  general
and administrative  expenses were $704,000,  an increase of $88,000, or 14%,
over the same period in the prior year due to general expenses associated
with the Company's expanded operations.

Business  development  costs for the nine month  period  ended June 30,  1999
totaled  $1,328,000,  an increase of $470,000,  or 55%, over the same period
of the prior year. This increase was due to additional  personnel and other
resources  devoted to  preparation  for the potential  market launch of
Maxamine,  including  corporate  partnering efforts,  market evaluations and
third-party  reimbursement  evaluations.  General and administrative
expenses for the nine month period  ended June 30, 1999 were  $2,323,000,  an
increase of $358,000,  or 18% over the same period of the prior year.  This
increase resulted from the expanded activities described above.

OTHER  INCOME  (EXPENSE) -  Investment  income was  $134,000  for the quarter
ended June 30,  1999,  a decrease of $413,000,  or 76%,  from the same
period in the prior  year.  This  decrease  is a result  of a  reduction  in
the principal  balance of  interest-bearing  investments  used to  finance
the  operations  of the  Company.  Interest expense for the quarter  ended
June 30, 1999 was $36,000,  an increase of $14,000,  or 61%, over the same
period of the prior year.


                                      -5-
<PAGE>
This increase was primarily  attributable to interest  incurred on additional
advances made under the Company's line of credit agreement used to finance
qualified equipment purchases.

Investment  income totaled  $834,000 for the nine month period ended June 30,
1999,  compared to $1,731,000 for the same period of the prior  year.  The
decrease of  $897,000,  or 52%,  resulted  from the  reduction  in  principal
balance on  interest-bearing  securities  described  above.  Interest
expense for the nine month period ended June 30, 1999 totaled  $113,000,  an
increase of $53,000,  or 91%, over the same period of the prior year as a
result of the interest incurred on the additional advances also described
above.

NET LOSS - Net loss for the quarter  ended June 30, 1999 totaled  $9,931,000,
 an increase of  $3,222,000,  or 48%, over the prior year.  The increase  was
due to the  expansion of research  and  development  and general  corporate
activities  described  above. Net loss per share of common stock for the
three month period ended June 30, 1999 was $0.97,  a 35%  increase  over the
loss of $0.72  per  share  for the same  period  of the  prior  year,  due to
the increase  in net loss for the year  offset  partially  by an  increase
in the  number of  shares  of common  stock outstanding.

Net loss for the nine months ended June 30, 1999 totaled  $29,065,000,  an
increase of $15,437,000,  or $113%, over the same period of the prior year.
Net loss per share of common stock for the nine month  period was $2.90,  a
92% increase  over the loss of $1.51 per share for the same period of the
prior year,  due to the  increase in net loss for the year offset partially
by an increase in the number of shares of common stock outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company, as a development stage enterprise,  anticipates incurring
substantial  additional losses over at least the next  several  years due to,
among other  factors,  the need to expend  substantial  amounts on its
ongoing and planned  clinical  trials,  other  research  and  development
activities,  and  business  development  and general corporate  expenses
associated with these  activities.  The Company has financed its operations
primarily through the sale of its  equity  securities,  including  an initial
public  offering  in  July 7, 1996  and an  international follow-on  public
offering in October  1997 which  provided  net  proceeds to the Company of
approximately  $22.3 million (including amounts received on the exercise of
warrants) and $34.7 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and investments
totaling  approximately  $7.7 million. On July 26,  1999,  the  Company
completed  a private  placement  which  provided  net  proceeds to the
Company of approximately  $18.4 million,  resulting in total cash,  cash
equivalents  and  investments of $26.6 million on an as-adjusted  basis.  For
the nine months ended June 30, 1999, net cash used in the Company's
operating  activities was  approximately  $28.3 million.  The Company's cash
requirements may fluctuate in future periods as it conducts additional
research  and  development  activities  including  clinical  trials,  other
research  and  development activities,  and efforts  associated  with the
commercial  launch of any  products  that are  approved for sale by
government  regulatory  bodies.  Among the activities that may result in an
increase in cash requirements are three Phase III cancer  clinical  trials
and two Phase II clinical  trials of Maxamine  currently  underway.  The
Company plans to pursue the issuance of additional  equity  securities,  and
to pursue  corporate  marketing  alliances and collaborative agreements to
meet its cash requirements.

The Company's cash  requirements  may vary  materially  from those now
planned  because of the results and scope of clinical trials and other
research and development  activities,  the time required to obtain regulatory
 approvals, the cost of filing,  prosecuting,  defending and enforcing
patent claims and other  intellectual  property rights, the ability of the
Company to establish  marketing  alliances and  collaborative  arrangements
and the cost of the Company's internal marketing  activities.  As a result of
these factors,  it is difficult to predict accurately the timing and amount
of the Company's cash requirements.  In order to successfully  commercialize
any of its products, the Company  expects  that it will  ultimately  be
required to seek  additional  funds  through  public or private financings or
collaborative  arrangements  with corporate  partners.  The issuance of
additional  equity securities could result in  substantial  dilution to the
Company's  stockholders.  There can be no assurance  that  additional funding
will be  available  on terms  acceptable  to the  Company,  if at all.  The
failure  to fund its  capital requirements  would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's  business,  financial  condition and results of
operations.  The Company has never paid a cash dividend and does not
contemplate  the payment of cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE

The Year 2000  issue is  related  to  computer  software  utilizing  two
digits  rather  than  four to define  the appropriate  year.  As a result,
any of the  Company's  computer  programs or any of the  Company's  suppliers
or vendors  that have date  sensitive  software  may incur  system  failures
or  generate  incorrect  data if "00" is recognized as 1900 rather than 2000.

The Company has determined  that the computer  systems  utilized  internally
in its daily  operations are Year 2000 compliant.  The  Company is in the
process  of  verifying  whether  its major  suppliers,  service  providers
and financial  institutions  are Year 2000  compliant and expects to complete
this review by September  30, 1999.  The total cost of this  process is
expected to be less than  $50,000.  Although  the  Company has no material
systems that interface  directly with third party  systems,  there can be no
assurance that the systems and networks of its key  suppliers  and service
providers  will not be affected by the Year 2000  issues,  which could have
an adverse effect on the  Company's  business,  operating  results and
financial  condition.  In  particular,  the Company has engaged  several
third  parties to retain and  maintain all of the  clinical,  statistical
and other  information related to the Company's  clinical trials.  These
third parties have indicated that they are  aggressively  working to
identify  and  remediate  any Year 2000  issues  they may  have,  and that
they  expect to have any  necessary remediation  completed by December 1999.
However,  in the event these third parties' Year 2000 compliance  efforts are
 unsuccessful,  data relating to the  Company's  clinical  trials could be
destroyed or corrupted,  which could have a material  adverse  effect on the
Company's  business,  operating  results and  financial  condition.  In an
effort to  minimize  the  potential  risks of the failure of such third
parties'  Year 2000  efforts,  the Company intends to archive data,  both in
electronic and paper  formats,  through  December 1999,  after which paper

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

The  Company  invests  its  excess  cash in  interest-bearing
investment-grade  securities  that  are held for the duration  of  the  term
of  the  respective  instrument.   The  Company  does  not  utilize
derivative  financial instruments,   derivative  commodity  instruments  or
other  market  risk  sensitive  instruments,   positions  or transactions  in
 any  material  fashion.  Accordingly,   management  believes  that,  while
the  investment-grade securities  the Company  holds are subject to changes
in the financial  standing of the issuer of such  securities, it is not
subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates,
foreign  currency  exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other
market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.
