                                 MARCH 31, 1995

NOTE A-BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying  unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information and with the  instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include  all of the  information  and  footnotes
required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete  financial
statements.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments considered necessary
for a fair  presentation  have been  included.  Operating  results for the three
month period ended March 31, 1995 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
that  may be  expected  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1995.  For  further
information,  please refer to the Company's  financial  statements and footnotes
thereto  included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1994.

NOTE B - DEBT FINANCING

Note  payable at March 31, 1995 in the amount of  $1,000,000  is to an unrelated
third party.  This note,  bearing  interest at the rate of prime plus 1% was due
and  payable  on June 30,  1995,  but was paid off in May  1995.  This  note was
collateralized by a major part of the company assets.

Notes payable to stockholders,  totaling $950,000 at March 31, 1995,  consist of
notes to Warren P. Levy, Ronald S. Levy and Jay Levy,  officers and directors of
the  Company,  and a member of their  family.  These notes bear  interest at the
Merrill Lynch Margin Loan Rate and have subordinated  security  interests in the
Company's  Fairfield  and  Boonton  assets.  The  notes are due and  payable  on
February  10,  1997.  A total of  $300,000 of these notes is expected to be paid
during  1995 and are  classified  as  short-term.  The  balance of  $650,000  is
classified as long-term.

In April 1995,  Warren P. Levy, Ronald S. Levy and Jay Levy loaned an additional
$280,000 to the Company,  with the same subordinated  security interest.  In May
1995, the Company borrowed $2,000,000 from an unrelated third party,  secured by
all of the Company's  assets.  This loan is due and payable July 7, 1995 with an
interest  rate of 13% per annum.  $1,000,000  from this loan was used to pay off
other short-term debt.

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

Current  operating  revenues are from hormone and enzyme sales which were $5,000
and $1,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Research and  development,  the Company's  largest  expense,  increased 67% from
$1,015,000 to  $1,699,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared
to the  same  period  in  1994.  The  increase  was  related  to  the  Company's
manufacturing  facility and its  development  program for the  calcitonin  pill,
including  depreciation  charges,   expenditures  for  preproduction   salaries,
regulatory consulting fees, as well as the sponsorship of collaborative research
programs.

General and administrative expenses increased 52% from $316,000 to $480,000, for
the three months  ended March 31, 1995,  as compared to the same period in 1994.
The increase was primarily due to legal and other expenses  associated  with the
Company's financing activities.

Interest  income  decreased  $99,000 or 97% for the three months ended March 31,
1995,  as  compared  to the same  period  in  1994.  The  decrease  was due to a
reduction in total monies available to be invested.

As a result of increased  operating  expenses and decreased interest income, net
loss increased  $959,000 or 78% for the three months ended March 31, 1995,  from
the corresponding period in 1994.

As of December  31, 1994,  the Company had  available  for income tax  reporting
purposes  net  operating  loss   carryforwards  in  the  approximate  amount  of
$24,000,000,  expiring  from 1996 through  2009,  which are  available to reduce
future  earnings which would  otherwise be subject to federal income taxes.  For
the three months  ending March 31, 1995,  the Company had  additional  losses of
approximately  $2,000,000.  In addition,  the Company has investment tax credits
and research and  development  credits in the amounts of $69,000 and $1,346,000,
respectively,  which are available to reduce the amount of future federal income
taxes. These credits expire from 1996 through 2009.

The Company follows  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No. 109 (FASB
109),  "Accounting  for  Income  Taxes".  Given the  Company's  past  history of
incurring  operating losses, any deferred tax assets that are recognizable under
FASB 109 have been fully  reserved.  As of January 1, 1995,  under FASB 109, the
Company  had  deferred  tax assets of  approximately  $11,100,000,  subject to a
valuation  allowance of  $11,100,000.  The  deferred  tax assets were  generated
primarily  as a result of the  Company's  net  operating  losses and tax credits
generated.  For the three month  period  ended  March 31,  1995,  the  Company's
deferred tax assets and valuation  allowances  each  increased by  approximately
$900,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During  1994,  the Company  completed  construction  of its  peptide  production
facility in  Boonton,  New  Jersey.  The  facility  was  constructed  in a shell
building that is being leased under a ten year net lease which began in February
1994.  The  Company  has two ten year  renewal  options  as well as an option to
purchase  the  facility.  The total cost of leasehold  improvements  and process
equipment  for  this  facility,   including   current   validation   costs,   is
approximately  $11  million.  The  Company  is  undertaking  steps to secure the
validation  of the facility by the U.S.  Food and Drug  Administration  to allow
Unigene to provide its calcitonin for human use. The Company, at March 31, 1995,
had cash and cash  equivalents of $16,000,  a decrease of $576,000 from December
31, 1994.

In  February  and  March  1995,  Warren  P.  Levy,  Ronald S. Levy and Jay Levy,
officers and  directors of the  Company,  and a member of their family  loaned a
total of  $950,000 to the Company  secured by liens on the  Fairfield  plant and
equipment.  In March 1995,  the Company  borrowed  $1,000,000  from an unrelated
third party on a short-term  basis secured by most of the assets of the Company,
subject  to   obligations   to  release  part  of  the  security  under  certain
circumstances.  In  connection  with that loan,  the  members of the Levy family
agreed to  subordinate  their  security  interests  in the  Fairfield  plant and
equipment to the secured lender and received a subordinated security interest on
the equipment at the Boonton  plant.  In April 1995,  Warren P. Levy,  Ronald S.
Levy and Jay Levy loaned an  additional  $280,000 to the Company,  with the same
subordinated  security  interest.  In May 1995, the Company borrowed  $2,000,000
from an unrelated third party. This loan is due and payable July 7, 1995 with an
interest  rate of 13% per annum.  $1,000,000  from this loan was used to pay off
other short-term debt.

The  Company's  ability to  generate  additional  cash from  operations  depends
primarily  upon signing  research or  licensing  agreements,  achieving  defined
benchmarks  in  such  agreements,  completion  of  plant  validation,  receiving
regulatory  approval  for  its  products,  and  marketing  hormones  and  enzyme
products.  The Company  currently  has no  income-producing  research or license
agreements in effect.

The Company requires additional working capital to continue its operations.  The
Company  is  seeking  additional  financing,  but  there  is no  assurance  that
sufficient  funds will be obtained.  The Company requires  additional  financing
during the second quarter of 1995 to ensure continued operations.
