                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.    GENERAL

               In management's opinion, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
      financial statements of Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and subsidiary (the
      "Company") contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring
      adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of the
      Company as of March 31, 1997 and the results of its operations for the
      three and nine months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996. The results of
      operations and cash flows for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 are not
      necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that may
      be reported for the remainder of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997.

               The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial
      statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
      Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Pursuant to
      such rules and regulations, certain information and footnote disclosures
      normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
      generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

               These consolidated financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes to
      Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended June 30, 1996,
      included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No.
      333-17991), as amended (the "Registration Statement"), filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission. The accounting policies followed for
      interim financial reporting are the same as those disclosed in Note 2 of
      the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended June 30,
      1996 included in the Company's Registration Statement.

2.    LOSS PER SHARE

               Loss per share is determined by dividing the net loss
      attributable to holders of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 (the
      "Common Stock"), by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock
      and dilutive Common Stock equivalents outstanding after applying the
      treasury stock method. Common Stock equivalents include the potential
      impact of options issued within one year prior to the date of the
      Company's initial public offering at exercise prices less than the initial
      offering price, whether or not the effects are antidilutive.

               In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings
      Per Share". SFAS No. 128 supersedes the previous standard, Accounting
      Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 15, modifies the methodology for
      calculating earnings per share, and is effective for annual periods ending
      after December 15, 1997; early adoption is not permitted. Upon adoption of
      SFAS 128 in the Company's financial statements subsequent to June 30,
      1997, the Company will be required to restate previously reported earnings
      per share data to conform with the requirements of SFAS No. 128. Had the
      provisions of SFAS No. 128 been applicable to the accompanying
      consolidated financial statements, basic and diluted earnings per share,
      as calculated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 128, would not
      have been different than the historical loss per share amounts reported
      herein.

3.    LICENSE AGREEMENT

               On February 7, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with
      an unaffiliated generic drug manufacturer pursuant to which the parties
      agreed to resolve the effects, as between themselves, of a potential
      interference proceeding by the United States Patent and Trademark Office
      by granting cross licenses under their respective patent applications and
      patents, regardless of whether such licenses would be required. In
      connection with this licensing agreement, the Company recognized
      $3,000,000 as a licensing expense; such expense is included in "Research
      and development" expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of
      operations for the three months ended March 31, 1997. As further
      consideration for entering into this agreement, the Company agreed to pay
      the generic manufacturer certain royalties on the net sales of NIASPAN
      subject to a cap on such royalty payments in the United States and a
      separate cap on such payments for sales outside the United States.

4.    STOCK OPTION PLAN

               During 1996, the Board of Directors, the "Board" of the Company
      adopted the Kos Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 1996 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan").
      As of March 31, 1997, a maximum of 4,000,000 shares of Common Stock, may
      be issued pursuant to stock options granted or to be granted under the
      Plan. All directors, officers, and employees and certain consultants
      designated by the Board are eligible to receive options under the Plan.
      Each outside director of the Company was granted an option to purchase
      5,000 shares of common stock and automatically will receive an option to
      purchase an additional 3,000 shares effective on the anniversary date of
      each director's election to the Board.

               The exercise price of options issued under the Plan is not less
      than the fair market value on the date the option is granted. Options
      granted under the Plan vest over four years, and all such options expire
      in ten years from the date of grant. All options expire within 30 days of
      termination of employment. The Plan is administered by a Committee
      appointed by the Company's Board.

               The Company has granted options to purchase an aggregate of
      2,328,000 shares to directors, officers, employees and consultants,
      including options granted prior to the adoption of the Plan, as shown in
      the following table. No options outstanding under the Plan had been
      exercised as of March 31, 1997.

4.    STOCK OPTION PLAN (CONTINUED)

               Detail of option activity under this plan for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997 is as follows:

                                                         EXERCISE PRICES

      Granted                           202,500     15.00 - 24.69      16.86

                                      =========


               For purposes of calculating the cost of stock options under
      SFAS 123 "Accounting For Stock-based Compensation", the "fair value" of
      each option grant is estimated as of the date of grant using the
      Black-Scholes option pricing model, with the following assumptions used
      for grants: risk-free rates of 6.25%; expected dividend yield of 0%;
      expected term of 5 years; and expected volatility of 57.6%.

               As permitted by SFAS No. 123, however, the Company accounts for
      options issued to employees under APB Opinion No. 25. Consequently, except
      for options issued to non-employees, no compensation cost has been
      recognized on options issued to employees because the exercise price of
      such options was not less than the market value of the Common Stock on the
      date of grant. Had compensation cost for options issued to employees been
      determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net loss and net
      loss per share would have been the "Pro Forma" amounts shown in the
      following table:

5.    INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

               On March 12, 1997, the Company completed an initial public
      offering ("IPO") of the Common Stock by selling 4,772,500 shares,
      resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $65,900,000,
      after deducting expenses of the offering.

ITEM 2- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

     On June 25, 1996, the Company was incorporated in Florida as the successor
to the business of Kos Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), which was incorporated in
Florida on July 1, 1988. The Company is engaged primarily in the development of
proprietary prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of certain
chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. The Company intends to
manufacture its products and to market such products in the United States
directly through its own specialty sales force.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

     The Company's research and development expenses increased from $9.3 million
for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $13.0 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997. Of the total increase in research and development
expenses, $3.0 million was attributable to the cost of entering into an
agreement, during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, with an unaffiliated generic
drug manufacturer to resolve the effects of a potential patent interference
proceeding. Increases in personnel costs, principally in connection with
scale-up and validation of the Company's NIASPAN manufacturing facility, and in
development costs associated with various third-party agreements also
contributed to the increased research and development expenses for the nine
months ended March 31, 1997. These increases in research and development
expenses were partially offset by the absence in the nine months ended March 31,
1997 of the expenses for the clinical trials completed during the nine months
ended March 31, 1996. Such trials were in support of the filing of a NDA during
May 1996 for the Company's first product, NIASPAN. The Company expects research
and development activities to increase as personnel are added and research
activities are expanded to support the development of additional products and
the conducting of additional clinical trials.

     General and administrative expenses increased from $1.2 million for the
nine months ended March 31, 1996 to $3.3 million for the nine months ended March
31, 1997. The increase was attributable primarily to the commencement of the
Company's marketing activities, the hiring of additional personnel to support
such marketing activities and the Company's increased administrative functions,
and professional fees. The Company expects that its general and administrative
expenses will continue to increase in support of its marketing efforts and
development programs.

     From July 1, 1996 to the completion of its IPO on March 12, 1997, the
Company funded its operations from the proceeds of a loan from Kos Investments,
Inc. (the "Investments Loan"), the sole shareholder of Holdings. As of March 31,
1997, the Company had outstanding borrowings of approximately $13.4 million
under this loan. As a result of the Investments Loan, the Company had
approximately $365,000 of interest expense for the nine months ended March 31,
1997, compared with no such expense for the nine months ended March 31, 1996.

     The Company received $65.9 million in net proceeds from its IPO. Of these
proceeds, $63.7 million had not been utilized by the Company as of March 31,
1997 and are invested in short-term U.S. Treasury and highly-rated corporate

                                       9
<PAGE>

securities. As a result of this investment in marketable securities, the Company
recorded approximately $170,000 of interest income for the nine months ended
March 31, 1997, compared with no such income for the nine months ended March 31,
1996.

     The Company incurred a net loss of $10.5 million for the nine months ended
March 31, 1996, compared with a net loss of $16.5 million for the nine months
ended March 31, 1997. The Company expects to incur substantial losses for at
least the next twelve months.

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1997

     The Company's research and development expenses increased from $2.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $7.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997. This increase was attributable primarily to the cost
incurred, during the quarter ended March 31, 1997, of entering into an agreement
with an unaffiliated generic drug manufacturer to resolve the effects of a
potential patent interference proceeding, increases in personnel costs,
principally in connection with manufacturing scale-up, and by an increase in
development costs associated with various third-party agreements. These
increases in research and development activities were partially offset by the
absence, during the three months ended March 31, 1997, of the clinical trial
expenses incurred during the three months ended March 31, 1996 in support of the
filing of a NDA during May 1996 for the Company's first product, NIASPAN.

     General and administrative expenses increased from $400,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31,
1997. The increase was attributable primarily to the commencement of the
Company's marketing activities, and to the hiring of additional personnel to
support such marketing activities and the Company's increased administrative
functions.

     Interest expense under the Investments Loan, absent during the three months
ended March 31, 1996, totaled $229,000 during the three months ended March 31,
1997. This increase in interest expense was partially offset by approximately
$170,000 of interest income recorded on the Company's investment in short-term
U.S. Treasury and highly-rated corporate securities for the three months ended
March 31, 1997.

     The Company incurred a net loss of $3.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1996, compared with a net loss of $8.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1997.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     From July 1, 1996 until the completion of its IPO, the Company financed its
operations from the proceeds of the Investments Loan, which had an unpaid
balance of approximately $13.4 million at March 31, 1997. All or a portion of
the Investments Loan may be repaid using a portion of the net proceeds from the
Company's IPO. At March 31, 1997, the Company's working capital totaled
approximately $48.8 million and cash and cash equivalents totaled approximately
$64.2 million, of which $63.7 million were invested in short-term U.S. Treasury
and highly-rated corporate securities. The Company expects to continue to incur
significant costs in connection with its ongoing research and development
activities and the commencement of its marketing activities.

                                       10
<PAGE>

     The Company's primary uses of cash to date have been in operating
activities to fund research and development, including clinical trials, and
general and administrative expenses. As of March 31, 1997, the Company's net
investment in equipment and leasehold improvements was $2.9 million. The Company
expects that additional equipment and facilities will be needed as it increases
its research and development activities. The Company had no material commitments
for capital expenditures as of March 31, 1997.

     Although the Company anticipates that the net proceeds from its IPO,
together with available cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and
expected interest income, will be sufficient to fund the Company's operations
for the next twelve months, the Company's future cash requirements will be
substantial and will depend on many factors, some of which are outside the
control of the Company. Such factors include the problems, delays, expenses and
complications frequently encountered by development stage companies; the
progress of the Company's research, development and clinical trial programs; the
costs and timing of seeking regulatory approvals of the Company's products under
development; the Company's ability to obtain such regulatory approvals; the
success of the Company's sales and marketing programs; costs in filing,
prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual
property rights; the extent and terms of any collaborative research,
manufacturing, marketing, joint venture or other arrangements; and changes in
economic, regulatory or competitive conditions or the Company's planned
business. As a result, the Company may need to raise substantial additional
capital to fund its operations before achieving anticipated positive cash flows
from operations in 1998, assuming the successful commercialization of NIASPAN.
The Company expects that it would seek such additional funding through public or
private equity or debt financing or through collaborations. To the extent the
Company raises additional capital by issuing equity securities, ownership
dilution to existing shareholders will result and future investors may be
granted rights superior to those of existing shareholders. There can be no
assurance, however, that additional funding will be available on acceptable
terms, or at all.
