                                 MARCH 31, 1996

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, 1996 are not necessarily  indicative of the results
that  may be  expected  for the  year  ended  December  31,  1996.  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, 1995.

NOTE B - DEBT FINANCING

In March 1996 the Company  completed a private placement of $9.08 million of 10%
Convertible Debentures.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $8.1
million as a result of this placement.  These  debentures  mature March 4, 1999.
The  debentures  are  convertible  into common  stock for up to one-third of the
principal  amount on or after each of April 27, 1996,  May 27, 1996 and June 26,
1996. The  debentures are  convertible at the lower of $2.00 per share or 85% of
the average market price per share of the Company's  common stock during the ten
days preceding the date of conversion.  As of May 7, 1996, $833,000 of principal
amount of these  debentures,  plus accrued  interest,  has been  converted  into
approximately 423,000 shares of common stock.

Also in March 1996,  secured  indebtedness  of $3,300,000 was exchanged for 9.5%
Senior  Secured  Convertible  Debentures in the principal  amount of $3,300,000.
These debentures  mature November 15, 1998, are secured by substantially  all of
the Company's  assets,  and are convertible  into shares of the Company's common
stock  at a  conversion  rate of $1.15  per  share,  subject  to  certain  reset
provisions.

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

Operating  revenues  for the first  quarter of 1996  include  $300,000  from the
Company's joint venture in China.  Other operating revenues are from hormone and
enzyme  sales  which were $5,000 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 and
1995.

Research and  development,  the  Company's  largest  expense,  increased 4% from
$1,699,000 to  $1,765,000  for the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared
to the same period in 1995.  The increase was related to the Company's  clinical
trials, as well as to the sponsorship of collaborative research programs.

General and administrative expenses decreased 19% from $480,000 to $391,000, for
the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  as compared to the same period in 1995.
The  decrease  was  primarily  due to a  reduction  in  expenses  related to the
Company's financing activities.
<PAGE>
Interest and other income increased $76,000 for the three months ended March 31,
1996,  as compared to the same period in 1995.  The increase was due to gains on
settlement of debt as well as to increased  interest income due to the Company's
financings which provided additional funds to be invested.

Interest expense  increased  $158,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
as compared to the same period in 1995. This was due to the increased  borrowing
by the Company in 1996.

As a result of  increased  operating  and other  revenue,  as well as  decreased
operating  expenses,  partially offset by increased  interest expense,  net loss
decreased  $240,000 or 11% for the three months  ended March 31, 1996,  from the
corresponding period in 1995.

As of December  31, 1995,  the Company had  available  for income tax  reporting
purposes  net  operating  loss   carryforwards  in  the  approximate  amount  of
$34,000,000,  expiring  from 1996 through  2010,  which are  available to reduce
future  earnings which would  otherwise be subject to federal income taxes.  For
the three months  ending March 31, 1996,  the Company had  additional  losses of
approximately  $1,900,000.  In addition,  the Company has investment tax credits
and research and  development  credits in the amounts of $69,000 and $1,594,000,
respectively,  which are available to reduce the amount of future federal income
taxes. These credits expire from 1996 through 2010.

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, 1996,  under FASB 109, the
Company  had  deferred  tax assets of  approximately  $15,100,000,  subject to a
valuation  allowance of  $15,100,000.  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,  1996,  the  Company's
deferred tax assets and valuation  allowances  each  increased by  approximately
$800,000.

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  validation  costs  associated  with the
facility's  construction,   is  approximately  $11.9  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.

In March 1996 the Company  completed a private placement of $9.08 million of 10%
Convertible Debentures.  The Company received net proceeds of approximately $8.1
million as a result of this placement.  These  debentures  mature March 4, 1999.
The  debentures  are  convertible  into common  stock for up to one-third of the
principal  amount on or after each of April 27, 1996,  May 27, 1996 and June 26,
1996. The  debentures are  convertible at the lower of $2.00 per share or 85% of
the average market price per share of the Company's  common stock during the ten
days preceding the date of conversion.  The Placement  Agent in connection  with
the issuance of the debentures  received a five-year warrant to purchase 454,000
shares of the Company's common stock at $2.10 per share.

Also in March 1996,  secured  indebtedness  of $3,300,000 was exchanged for 9.5%
Senior  Secured  Convertible  Debentures in the principal  amount of $3,300,000.
These debentures  mature November 15, 1998, are secured by substantially  all of
the Company's  assets,  and are convertible  into shares of the Company's common
stock  at a  conversion  rate of $1.15  per  share,  subject  to  certain  reset
provisions.

The Company, at March 31, 1996, had cash and cash equivalents of $5,709,000,  an
increase of $5,450,000 from December 31, 1995.

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  has  one  joint  venture  agreement  in  effect,  which
contributed $300,000 to 1996 revenues.  However,  there can be no assurance that
any additional revenues will be recognized under this agreement.

The Company  requires  additional  working  capital to continue its  operations.
Management  believes that the Company has  sufficient  cash through at least the
third quarter of 1996. The Company requires  additional funds through  financing
or licensing  agreements to ensure continued  operations.  There is no assurance
that sufficient funds will be obtained.
