2. Joint Venture Agreement with Zhongshan Xiaolan Pharmaceutical Factory.

In July 1997, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NexMed (Asia) 
Limited, entered into an agreement to form a Chinese joint-venture company, 
NexMed Pharmaceuticals (Zhongshan) Ltd. (the "JV") with Zhongshan Xiaolan 
Pharmaceuticals Factory (the "JV Partner"). Under the terms of the agreement, 
the Company was required to make an initial contribution of $2,170,000, and is 
required to make additional contributions of $700,000 and $630,000 by September 
1999 and 2000, respectively, in exchange for a 70% equity interest in the JV.  
Effective January 1, 1998, the Company contributed $1,870,000 of the $2,170,000 
initial payment and the Company was given an extension of time to complete

3. New Accounting Pronouncements

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("FAS 130"), which requires the
presentation of the components of comprehensive income in the company's
financial statement for reporting periods beginning subsequent to December 15,
1997. Comprehensive income is defined as the change in the company's equity
during a financial reporting period from transactions and other circumstances
from non-owner sources (including cumulative translation adjustments, minimum
pension liabilities and unrealized gains/losses on available for sale
securities). Comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 is as follows:

Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards 
No. 131, "Disclosure about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" 
("FAS 131"), which requires disclosure of information about operating segments 
in annual financial statements for reporting periods beginning subsequent to 
December 15, 1997.  Operating segments are defined as components of an 
enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is 
evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to 
allocate resources and in assessing performance.  The adoption of FAS 131 did 
not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

GENERAL

          NexMed, Inc. ("NexMed"), which has been in existence since 1987, has, 
since 1994, positioned itself as a medical and pharmaceutical technology company
with a focus on developing and commercializing therapeutic products based on 
proprietary delivery systems.  NexMed (together with its subsidiaries, the 
"Company") is currently focusing its efforts on:

          (i)    new and patented pharmaceutical products based on a penetration
enhancement topical delivery technology known as NexACT(TM), which may enable 
the active drug to be better absorbed through the skin.  Currently, the primary 
topical treatment products under development by the Company are Alprox-TD(TM), 
an alprostadil cream for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction (impotence),
and Femprox(TM), an alprostadil-based product for the treatment of female sexual
dysfunction.  Also targeted for research and development are ibuprofen and 
ketoprofen cream formulations for sports medicine and arthritis treatment and an
acyclovir anti-viral cream for the treatment of herpes simplex; and

          (ii)   the Viratrol(R) device, a proprietary therapeutic medical 
device for the treatment of herpes simplex diseases which does not require the 
use of any drugs.  The Company believes that the electrical current, which is 
topically delivered by the patented device to an infected site, may block 
lesions from forming or may significantly shorten healing time once lesions 
develop; and

          (iii)  the manufacturing and distributing of generic pharmaceutical 
products through its Joint-Venture in China (the "JV"), which became effective 
on January 1, 1998.  The Company intends to continue and expand upon the 
production and distribution in China and export to other international markets 
of generic pharmaceutical products currently approved and sold in China.

          In the second half of 1998, pending sufficient funding, the Company 
intends to expand its research, development, and marketing activities and 
capabilities, both domestically and internationally, with regard to its 
proprietary pharmaceuticals products and to execute a business strategy with the
goal of achieving a level of development and commercialization sufficient to 
enable the Company to attract potential strategic partners

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
with resources sufficient to further develop and market its proprietary
products. For its generic pharmaceutical business, the Company intends for the
JV to develop new products, acquire new production equipment and working capital
and retrofit the existing production facilities to meet the Chinese Good
Manufacturing Practices (GMP) standards.

          With respect to the regulatory approval of its products, the Company
intends to initiate in the second half of 1998, pending sufficient funding,
Phase II studies in the U.S. for the Alprox-TD(TM) treatment cream for male
impotence.  During the second quarter of 1998, the Company has initiated a Phase
I safety study for the Femprox(TM) treatment cream for female sexual
dysfunction.  In China, the Company has initiated a 200-patient Phase III
double-blind clinical study, and pending satisfactory results, intends to submit
a New Drug Application to the Chinese Department of Health during the fourth
quarter of 1998.

          For the Viratrol(R) herpes treatment device, the Company is
conducting a 60-patient, double-blind study in China, and is intending to file
an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) with the FDA and to initiate clinical
studies in the U.S.  The Company has submitted a Notification of Sale for the
Viratrol(TM) device in Canada during the second quarter of 1998, and has
received written confirmation from Health Canada Medical Devices Bureau that the
device is classified as risk Class I or in the lowest risk category, and is
cleared for marketing and distribution in Canada.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BETWEEN THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 OF 1998
AND OF 1997

          Revenues.  The Company recorded revenues from the JV's product sales
in China, of $2,739,063 during the first six months of operations in 1998 as
compared to no sales during the same period in 1997. The Company anticipates
that the continued expansion of the JV's production capacity should result in
additional sales revenue during the second half of 1998. The Company recorded no
licensing revenues during the first six months of 1998 as compared to $50,000
during the same period in 1997. The Company does not anticipate that revenues
will be generated during the second half of 1998 from its outstanding licensing
agreements for Taiwan, Argentina and Uruguay. The Company is currently pursuing
additional licensing and partnering agreements with multi-national
pharmaceutical companies for the U.S., European and Japanese markets, which, if
entered into, may result in contract revenues in the second half 1998.

          Cost of Products Sold:  The cost of product sales were $2,421,574 and
zero in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The cost has been higher than anticipated,
and in large measure, is attributable to the price of the raw materials of the
JV's production of mostly generic antibiotics. The new management at the JV has
identified alternative sources of raw materials at a lower price, and the
Company expects the overall production cost to decrease and gross profit margins
to increase during the second half of 1998.

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
          Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses
for the first six months of operation of 1998 and 1997, were $890,310 and
$787,374, respectively. The increase is primarily attributable to the increase
in and scope of clinical studies initiated in the U.S. The Company expects that
pending sufficient funding, total research spending in 1998 will continue to
increase with the expansion in development and clinical activities.

          General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $1,445,759 during the first six months of operation in 1998 as
compared to $947,759 during the same period in 1997. The increase is largely
attributed to the expenses of the JV operation in China and the Company's
international commercialization efforts. The Company's general and
administrative expenses are expected to increase in the future in line with the
research efforts in the U.S., and product commercialization efforts in China and
in other international markets. During the first six months of 1998 and 1997,
the Company recorded non-cash charges of approximately $48,710 and $66,042,
respectively, for certain options and warrants granted to consultants.

          Interest Income and Expense.  The Company recognized $284,379 in
interest expense during the first six months of 1998, compared with $15,937 in
income during the same period in 1997.  The increase is due to the JV's interest
expense for its working line of credit and the Company's notes payable issued in
the fourth quarter of 1997.  Interest expense is expected to increase during
1998, in line with the additional borrowings by the Company and the anticipated
increase in working capital required by the JV to increase its production
capability.

          Net Loss.  The net loss applicable to common shareholders was
($2,197,554) or ($0.33) per share for the first six months of 1998, compared
with a net loss of ($1,669,196) or ($0.28) per share for the same period in
1997. The increase in net loss is attributable to the increase in expenses
associated with the Company's U.S. product development and clinical programs and
international commercialization efforts, as well as with the JV's current
operations and new product development programs.

COMPARISON OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS BETWEEN THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30 OF
1998 AND OF 1997

          Revenues.  The Company recorded revenues of $1,534,393 compared with
none during the second quarter of operations in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
1998 revenues were generated from the JV's product sales in China. The Company
anticipates that the increase in the production capacity of the JV should result
in additional sales revenue in 1998.

          Cost of Products Sold.  The cost of products sold was $1,378,076 in
1998 as compared to zero for the same period in 1997. The cost in large measure
is attributable to the price of the raw materials for the JV's production of
mostly generic antibiotics.

                                       9
<PAGE>
 
          Research and Development Expenses.  For the three months ended June
30, research and development expenses were $502,654 in 1998 as compared to
$499,946 in 1997.  During 1998, the Company expects its total research spending
to increase as its products under development enter into clinical studies in the
U.S.

          General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $733,485 and $671,106 in 1998 and 1997, respectively. The
Company's general and administrative expenses are expected to increase in line
with its product development in the U.S., and commercialization efforts in China
and in other international markets.

          Interest Income and Expense.  The Company recognized $156,806 in
interest expense during the second quarter of 1998, compared with $13,414 in
income during the same period in 1997.  The increase is due to the JV's interest
expense for its working line of credit and the Company's notes payable issued in
the fourth quarter of 1997.  Interest expense is expected to increase during
1998, in line with the anticipated increase in working capital required by the
JV to increase its production capability and in additional borrowings by the
Company.

          Net Loss.  The net loss applicable to common shareholders was
($1,201,811) or ($0.16) per share for the second quarter in 1998, compared with
a net loss of ($1,157,638) or ($0.19) per share for the same period in 1997. The
net loss during the second quarter of 1998 is attributable to the increase in
expenses associated with the JV's operations and the Company's U.S. product
development and clinical programs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          The Company has experienced net losses and negative cash flow from
operations each year since its inception.  Through June 30, 1998, the Company
has an accumulated deficit of $10,378,988.  The Company has financed its
operations primarily from sales of equity securities and from borrowing.

          In consideration for the formation of the JV, the JV partner's parent,
Xiaolan Industrial General Corporation, ("XIGC") has provided the JV with a
$1,566,265 (RMB 13 million) unsecured, uncollateralized, revolving line of
credit for working capital.  The JV currently pays interest at a rate of 0.924%
per month, or 11.088% per year.  In addition to the payment of interest, the JV
is obligated to pay the principal at the end of the term. XIGC has also provided
the JV with an additional $216,867 (RMB 1.8 million) for working capital, which
the parties have agreed will be repaid on the same terms as the RMB 13 million
line of credit.  During the second quarter, the JV applied directly for and
received, in early July, its own line of credit from the China Industrial &
Commercial Bank totalling RMB 13 million.  The line of credit is renewable
annually, and bears a fixed interest rate of 6.3525% per year.  The line of
credit is expected to increase in order to provide additional working capital
for the anticipated increase in the JV's product sales and inventory.  The JV
also intends to use a portion of the proceeds from the new line of

                                      10
<PAGE>
 
credit to repay the outstanding principle and interest on the line of credit
secured by XIGC.

          During the first six months of 1998, the Company repaid $500,000 in
promissory notes and rolled-over $470,000 into new notes at varying interest
rates from 12-15% and due on various dates in the second half of 1998.  In
addition, the Company has an additional $316,700 in promissory notes and
$1,820,000 in convertible promissory notes due on various dates during the last
six months of 1998.

          The Company's expenditures and capital requirements will depend on
numerous factors, but will mainly be affected by the progress of its research
and development programs, its pre-clinical and clinical testing, its ability to
raise adequate funding, and its ability to complete additional corporate
partnership agreements.  The Company's cash needs are expected to continue to
increase significantly in order to fund the additional expenses the Company will
incur as it expands its current research and development programs and completes
its required capital contribution to the China JV.

          In the course of its development activities, the Company has incurred
significant losses and expect to incur substantial additional development costs.
As a result, the Company will require additional funds for its U.S. and
international operations and may seek private or public equity investments and
future collaborative arrangements with third parties to meet such needs.  In
order to meet its immediate funding requirements, repay short-term indebtedness
and maintain day-to-day operations, the Company estimates that it will require
$5 million over the next 12 months.  There is no assurance that such additional
funds will be available for the Company to finance its operations on acceptable
terms, if at all. The Company is actively seeking to raise additional capital,
including through an ongoing private placement.  However, if the Company is
unable to raise sufficient funds, the Company may be required to delay, reduce,
or eliminate some or all of its research and development activities, planned
clinical studies, and administrative programs.  Based upon the Company's current
resources and anticipated proceeds from the ongoing private placement, the
Company believes that it will have enough cash to sustain its operations through
October 1998.  The Company's working capital and additional funding requirements
will depend upon numerous factors, including: (i) the progress of the Company's
research and development programs; (ii) the timing and results of preclinical
testing and clinical trials; (iii) the timing and costs of obtaining regulatory
approvals; (iv) the level of resources that the Company devotes to sales and
marketing capabilities; (v) technological advances; (vi) the activities of
competitors; and (vii) the ability of the Company to conduct clinical trials, to
obtain regulatory approvals and, if such approvals are obtained, to manufacture
and market products.

OTHER FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT OPERATING RESULTS

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

                                      11
<PAGE>
 
          For the first six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company spent
$890,310, and for the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company spent
$2,078,517, on research and development.  Since January 1, 1994, when the
Company repositioned itself as a medical and pharmaceutical technology company,
the Company has spent $6,029,797 on research and development.

          The Company will need significant funding to pursue its research,
development and commercialization plans.  The potential products upon which the
Company intends to focus its current development efforts, including the Alprox-
TD(TM) cream and the Viratrol(R) device, are in the research and development
stage.  The Company has not begun to market or generate revenues from the
commercialization of any of these products under development.  The Company's
products under development will require significant time-consuming and costly
research, development, preclinical studies, clinical testing, regulatory
approval and significant additional investment prior to their commercialization.
There can be no assurance that the research and development activities funded by
the Company will be successful, that products under development will prove to be
safe and effective, that any of the preclinical or clinical development work
will be completed, or that the anticipated products will be commercially viable
or successfully marketed.  In addition, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory approval or developing any
additional products, that if successful, it will be able to attract sufficient
capital to complete any development and commercialization undertaken or that any
such development and commercialization will be successful.
