4.  PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE (UNAUDITED)

Pro forma net loss per share is determined by dividing the net loss by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents
outstanding during the period, assuming the conversion of all convertible
preferred stock which occurred upon the closing of the public offering of the
Company's common stock as described in Note 5.

Common stock equivalents, although anti-dilutive, issued at prices below the
offering price per share during the twelve month period preceding the initial
filing of Registration Statement Number 333-11105 have been included in the
calculation of pro forma net loss per share using the treasury stock method and
the initial public offering price of $12.00 per share as if outstanding for all
periods presented through June 30, 1996.

Historical net loss per share has not been presented as the Series A convertible
preferred stock would have been omitted from the weighted average shares
outstanding as it is anti-dilutive and was issued more than twelve months prior
to the public offering.


5.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT (UNAUDITED)

On October 16, 1996, the Company completed its initial public offering of
2,500,000 shares of common stock which resulted in net proceeds of approximately
$27.9 million. In conjunction with the initial public offering, all of the
Company's outstanding preferred stock was converted into 6,219,948 shares of
common stock.

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


OVERVIEW

         ArQule is engaged in the discovery and development of novel chemical
compounds with commercial potential with an initial focus on the pharmaceutical
and biotechnology industries. ArQule manufactures and delivers two types of
arrays of synthesized compounds to its pharmaceutical and biotechnology
partners: (i) Mapping Array compound sets, which are arrays of novel, diverse
small molecule compounds used for screening and (ii) Directed Array compound
sets, which are arrays of analogs of a particular lead compound (identified from
a Mapping Array set or otherwise), synthesized for the purpose of optimizing
such lead compounds.

         The Company currently generates revenue through compound development
and through license option fees. Compound development revenue relates to revenue
from collaborative agreements, which provide for the development and delivery of
Mapping Array and Directed Array sets. License option fee revenue represents
payments made to the Company for the option to license certain ArQule compounds.
The Company's revenue to date is primarily attributable to four major corporate
collaborations: Pharmacia Biotech AB which was entered into in March 1995;
Abbott Laboratories which was entered into in June 1995; Solvay Duphar B.V.
which was entered into in November 1995; and Roche Bioscience which was entered
into in September 1996. Under these collaborations, the Company has received
payments of $11.4 million through September 30, 1996 ($1.0 million for license
option fees; $10.4 million for compound development), of which $7.7 million has
been recognized as revenue ($1.0 million for license option fees; $6.7 million
for compound development). The Company recognizes revenue under its corporate
collaborations as related work is performed and arrays are delivered. Payments
received from corporate partners prior to the completion of the related work are
recorded as deferred revenue. License option fees are recognized as the options
are granted because such fees are nonrefundable and the Company has no further
obligations to fulfill. Cost of revenue represents the actual costs incurred in
connection with the development, production and delivery of compounds. The
Company is entitled to receive milestone and royalty payments if products
generated under the collaborations are developed. In addition, the Company has
entered into joint discovery agreements with a number of biotechnology companies
to which it has provided Mapping Array and Directed Array sets in exchange for
joint ownership of resulting drug candidates. These arrangements have not yet
yielded any significant revenue for the Company.

         The Company has not been profitable since incorporation and has
incurred a cumulative net loss of $10.1 million through September 30, 1996.
Losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development
activities related to the Company's efforts to develop its technologies and from
the associated administrative costs required to support those efforts. The
Company's ability to achieve profitability is dependent on its ability to market
its Mapping Array and Directed Array sets to 


                                                                              7

pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies and the joint development and
commercialization of products in which it has an economic interest.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

         Revenue. The Company's revenue was $0.8 million and $1.4 million for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Revenue was
$2.3 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1996, respectively. The increase was due primarily to an increase in compound
development revenue related to the performance of work and the delivery of
Mapping Array and Directed Array sets under the Company's collaborative
agreements. In the nine months ended September 30, 1995, the Company also
recognized a $1.0 million license option fee related to the Pharmacia
collaborative agreement.

         Cost of revenue. The Company's cost of revenue was $0.6 million and
$1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively. Cost of revenue was $0.9 million and $3.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increase was
primarily attributable to facilities expansion, additional scientific personnel
and the increased expenditures for supplies and overhead related to the
performance of the work and the delivery of the Mapping Array and Directed Array
sets pursuant to its collaborative agreements.

         Research and development expenses. The Company's research and
development expenses were $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Research and development
expenses were $1.6 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increase is due primarily to the
advancement of internal research programs.

         General and administrative expenses. The Company's general and
administrative expenses were $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. General and administrative
expenses were $1.2 million and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. The increase in general and administrative
expense is due primarily to increased personnel costs and corporate activity.

         Net interest income (expense). The Company's net interest expense was
$0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 1995, which compared to
net interest income of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
1996. Net interest expense was $0.3 million for the nine months ended September
30, 1995, and net interest income was $0.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. Higher net interest income in 1996 resulted primarily from
the Company holding higher cash balances following an equity investment in
November 1995 by one of its corporate collaborators.

         Net loss. The Company's net loss was $0.7 million and $1.4 million for
the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively. Net
loss was $1.8 


                                                                              8
<PAGE>   10


million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1996, respectively. The change is primarily attributable to the
continued increase in research and development activity levels as the Company
further expanded its chemistry discovery and development programs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At September 30, 1996, the Company held cash and cash equivalents and
marketable securities with a value of $4.9 million. The Company's working
capital at September 30, 1996 was $0.2 million. The Company has funded
operations to date with sales of preferred stock and common stock totaling $13.6
million, payments from corporate collaborators totaling $11.4 million, and the
utilization of capital equipment lease financing totaling $3.6 million. The
Company has maintained a master lease agreement since February 1994. Under the
terms of this agreement, the Company has funded certain capital expenditures
with lease schedules ranging from 40 to 42 months in duration. As of September
30, 1996, the Company had utilized $3.1 million of the available $5.0 million
financing facility.

         For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the Company used $0.2
million and $0.5 million in investing and financing activities, respectively.
These uses primarily reflect purchases of capital equipment and repayment of
capital lease obligations. For the nine months ended September 30,1996, net cash
provided by operating activities was $0.1 million reflecting the net loss of
$2.2 million, offset primarily by an increase in deferred revenue due to
additional payments received from corporate collaborators.

         On October 16, 1996, the Company raised approximately $27.9 million
from the sale of 2.5 million shares of Common Stock in the Company's initial
public offering. In conjunction with the initial public offering, all
outstanding shares of preferred stock were converted to shares of Common Stock.

         Management estimates that the proceeds from the initial public
offering, together with the Company's existing cash equivalents, short-term
investments, cash generated from operations and research funding from corporate
collaborators, will enable the Company to maintain its current and planned
operations at least through December 1998. The Company's cash requirements may
vary materially from those now planned depending upon the results of its drug
discovery and development strategies, the ability of the Company to enter into
any corporate collaborations in the future and the terms of such collaborations,
the results of research and development, competitive and technological advances,
and other factors. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain additional customers for the Company's products and services, or that
such products and services will produce revenues adequate to fund the Company's
operating expenses. If the Company experiences increased losses, the Company may
have to seek additional financing from public or private sale of its securities,
including equity securities. There can be no assurance that additional funding
will be available when needed or on acceptable terms.
