Report of Independent Auditors
Trustees of the ALZA Corporation
Tax Deferral Investment Plan
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the ALZA Corporation Tax Deferral Investment Plan (the "Plan") as of
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets
available for plan benefits for the years then ended. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in its net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1993 and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the 1993 financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the 1993 basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

ALZA Corporation Tax Deferral Investment Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1993 and 1992
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN
The following description of the ALZA Corporation Tax Deferral Investment Plan
(the "Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the
Summary Plan Description for a more complete description of the Plan's
provisions.
GENERAL
The Plan is a defined contribution plan funded solely by participating
employees. ALZA Corporation (the "Company" or "ALZA") remits to the Trust
created by the Plan such amounts as are voluntarily elected by participants. The
Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
("ERISA").
CONTRIBUTIONS
Eligible employees may make elective salary reduction contributions which are
tax deferred and are, therefore, not included in a participant's compensation
for federal income tax purposes until distributed to the participant. Under the
Plan, participants may elect to contribute through semimonthly payroll
deductions a percentage of compensation up to a maximum of $8,994 and $8,728 in
1993 and 1992, respectively (adjusted annually by an inflation index). Further
restrictions may be imposed on highly compensated individuals and Plan
participants who also participate in the ALZA Retirement Plan.
PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS
Each participant's account is credited with 100% of the contributions made by
the participant through a salary deferral agreement. The Company will suspend
the pretax salary deferral agreement of any participant if it determines that a
participant's annual contribution limitations, as described in the Internal
Revenue Code, will be exceeded.
Participants allocate their contributions for investment into mutual funds and
other investment vehicles (see Note 5). Earnings and losses of the investments
are allocated to participants in accordance with the Plan.
Participants are allowed to make rollover contributions of amounts received from
other qualified employer-sponsored retirement plans. Such contributions are
deposited in the appropriate investment funds in accordance with the
participant's directions and the Plan's provisions.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
1. DESCRIPTION OF PLAN (CONTINUED)
VESTING
Participant account balances are 100% vested at all times.
DISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITS
Distributions from the Plan are available to participants (or the beneficiary)
in any of the following situations: termination of employment with the Company,
retirement, total disability, death, reaching age 59 1/2, or a qualified
"financial hardship." The participant (or the beneficiary) may elect to receive
a lump sum distribution of the value of his account, or he or she may choose to
have the funds remain in the Plan if the account balance is greater than $3,500.
LOANS
A participant who is employed by the Company and meets certain plan requirements
may elect to borrow funds from his account. The borrowings are repayable,
evidenced by notes that bear interest at the published prime rate plus 1%, and
have repayment terms of one to 30 years, depending on the purpose of the loans.
Such repayments and interest thereon are credited to the borrower's account and
reinvested in the same manner as current contributions.
INCOME TAX STATUS
The Company has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS dated
June 15, 1987 which states that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) and
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Accordingly, income generated by the
underlying trust is generally exempt from federal income tax under Section
501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company is unaware of any event or
series of events that may cause operational disqualification of the Plan.
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Although not required to do so, the Company has paid all of the expenses (except
broker fee's on transactions executed at the participant's discretion)
associated with administering the Plan.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
INVESTMENT VALUATION AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Investments in mutual funds are valued at the published fair value as reported
by the fund manager which represents the net asset value of shares held by the
Plan at year end. Other investments are valued at the published fair value as
reported. The participant loans receivable are valued at cost which approximates
fair value.
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded on the
exdividend date.
3. PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to terminate the Plan at any time, subject to the provisions of
ERISA.
4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Certain Plan investments are shares of mutual funds managed by Merrill Lynch
Trust Company of California. Merrill Lynch Trust Company of California is the
trustee as defined by the Plan and, therefore, these transactions qualify as
party-in-interest transactions. Fees for the investment management services are
paid by ALZA.
5. INVESTMENT FUND ACTIVITY
During 1991, the Plan was amended to allow for the acceptance of quarterly plan-
to-plan transfers from the ALZA Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the
"ESOP") pursuant to the ESOP phased termination. The Plan was amended in 1992 to
allow ALZA Common Stock to be an investment choice under the Plan. The following
are investment options under the Plan.
MERRILL LYNCH FUNDS
Ready Assets Trust -- A money market fund.
Basic Value -- A fund of equity securities that management of the fund
believes are undervalued and represent basic investment value.

5. INVESTMENT FUND ACTIVITY (CONTINUED)
MERRILL LYNCH FUNDS (CONTINUED)
Growth -- A mutual fund investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of
equity securities seeking growth of capital and, as a secondary objective,
income.
Corporate Bond -- A fund of long-term corporate fixed-income securities,
including corporate bonds and notes, convertible securities and preferred
stocks.
International Holdings -- A fund of diversified international securities.
Capital -- A fund of equity, debt and convertible securities that seeks to
achieve the highest total return consistent with prudent risk.
OTHER INVESTMENTS
Retirement Cash Management Account ("RCMA") -- A self-directed brokerage
account that enables participants to choose from a wide variety of
investments.
ALZA Common Stock -- A fund consisting of shares of ALZA Common Stock
transferred from the ALZA ESOP or purchased under the provisions of the
Plan.
Other Plan funds, which are not investment options, include Therapeutic
Discovery Corporation ("TDC") Units, a fund consisting of the TDC Units
transferred from the ESOP, and ALZA Warrants, a fund consisting of warrants to
purchase ALZA Common Stock transferred from the ALZA ESOP in August 1992, all of
which have been exercised as of December 31, 1993. TDC Units consist of one
share of TDC Class A Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one-eighth of one
share of ALZA Common Stock.
