                            PathoGenesis Corporation

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                             JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

(1)     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        We have prepared the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements of PathoGenesis Corporation and subsidiaries and these notes in
accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations for
interim financial statements. As permitted by those rules and regulations, we
have condensed or omitted certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. You should read the accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements and these notes in conjunction with our audited
consolidated financial statements for 1999 included in our annual report on Form
10-K.

        The information furnished reflects, in the opinion of our management,
all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results
are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

(2)     INVENTORIES

        Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, as determined by the
first-in, first-out method, or market. Inventories consisted of the following:

LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

        We have not included options and warrants to purchase 4,041,116 and
3,466,900 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the second quarter
of 2000 and 1999, respectively, in the computation of diluted loss per share
because the representative share increments would be antidilutive. For the same
reason, we have not included options and warrants to purchase 4,031,844 and
3,527,957 shares of common stock that were outstanding during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively, in the computation of diluted
loss per share.

(4)     COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

        Total comprehensive loss amounted to $946,065 and $2,690,887 for the
second quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively. Total comprehensive loss for the
six- month periods ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 amounted to $1,361,889 and
$7,560,946, respectively. Our other comprehensive income (loss) is comprised of
unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investment securities and
foreign currency translation adjustments.

(5)     BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        In 1998, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.
SFAS No. 131 requires an enterprise to report segment information based on how
management internally evaluates the operating performance of its business units
(segments). Our operations are confined to one business segment, the development
of drugs to treat chronic infectious diseases.

(6)     COLLABORATION AND INVESTMENT AGREEMENTS

        In January 2000, we entered into a collaboration with Chiron Corporation
to discover and develop new antibiotics. The collaboration combines Chiron's
combinatorial chemistry library and expertise in high-throughput screening with
our strengths in bacterial target discovery and antibiotic development, as well
as our knowledge of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa genome. The focus of this
collaboration is on the discovery of novel treatments for infectious diseases,
specifically antibiotics with new mechanisms of action to address serious
medical needs, such as antibiotic resistance.

        In March 2000, we entered into an agreement with AeroGen, Inc. to
collaborate on the development and registration of a product combining TOBI and
AeroGen's hand-held, portable AeroDose Inhaler. Our goal is to reduce TOBI's
delivery time from 15-20 minutes to 5-10 minutes or less. Under the development
and supply agreement, we will reimburse AeroGen for costs incurred in developing
the AeroDose Inhaler and will obtain worldwide exclusive distribution rights to
the product. AeroGen will receive royalties on all product sales. Under a
separate agreement, we invested $2.5 million in convertible preferred stock of
privately held AeroGen. This investment is included in other assets and
accounted for under the cost method.

(7)     LOAN AGREEMENT

        In June 2000, we secured a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank PLC in the amount
of (Pounds)1,750,000 ($2,655,314) to finance the land and building occupied by
PathoGenesis Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of PathoGenesis Corporation.
This loan is to be repaid in 180 consecutive monthly installments, with interest
payable at the bank's base rate plus 1.5% (7.5% at June 30, 2000).

(8)     LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

        On February 18, 2000, the United States District Court for the Western
District of Washington dismissed with prejudice all eight consolidated putative
class action lawsuits that had been filed in March and April 1999 against
PathoGenesis Corporation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer. The eight consolidated lawsuits purported to allege claims on behalf of
all purchasers of PathoGenesis common stock during the period January 15, 1999
to March 22, 1999. Plaintiffs had claimed that the company and the officers
violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws by making statements
in early 1999 regarding the company's 1998 financial results. The court's order
dismissed the consolidated cases and bars plaintiffs from filing another lawsuit
on the matter. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal order to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We intend to defend the appeal
vigorously. Although we cannot ascertain the ultimate outcome of the appeal at
this time or predict with certainty the results of legal proceedings, we
currently believe that the resolution of the appeal will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

(9)     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

        On August 13, 2000, we entered into an agreement with Chiron Corporation
for Chiron to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of PathoGenesis for
approximately $700 million or $38.50 per share. The transaction will be in the
form of a cash tender offer, which is expected to close in the third or fourth
quarter, subject to customary closing conditions including necessary regulatory
approvals. The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of each
company.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
         Results of Operations

        In addition to historical information, this quarterly report on Form
10-Q contains forward-looking statements. You may identify these forward-looking
statements by the use of such words as "believe," "anticipate," "expect," "plan"
and "intend," among others. Since these statements are based on factors that
involve risks and uncertainties, they do not necessarily indicate what our
actual future results will be, and results may vary from quarter to quarter.
Important factors that could cause or

                                       5
<PAGE>


contribute to material differences between our actual results and the results
expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, those discussed in "Item 1. Business," "Item 7. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our
annual report on Form 10-K for 1999, and in Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 10-K. These
factors include, but are not limited to, uncertainties related to the fact that
PathoGenesis only began commercial operations in 1998, its dependence on TOBI(R)
(tobramycin solution for inhalation), the degree of penetration of its markets
and frequency of TOBI's use by patients, risks associated with marketing TOBI in
international markets, third party reimbursement and product pricing, seasonal
impacts on hospitalizations or exacerbations experienced by patients,
variability in wholesaler ordering patterns, drug development and clinical
trials, uncertain outcome of the U.S. and international drug approval process,
competition and alternative therapies. We cannot assure you that TOBI -- which
is currently our only product -- will penetrate markets as planned, that our
development of TOBI for other uses will succeed or occur within anticipated time
frames, or that we will develop any of our other drug candidates successfully.

Results of Operations

        Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

        Revenues. Revenues in the second quarter of 2000 totaled $20.4 million,
including $20.2 million from TOBI sales. Revenues for the corresponding period
in 1999 were $14.3 million, with $14.1 million from sales of TOBI. Significant
contributors to this growth in sales are continuing penetration of the U.S.
cystic fibrosis market and increased use of TOBI among patients with other
serious lung infections. In addition, TOBI sales in international markets have
increased significantly, and now account for approximately 10% of our total
sales. International sales revenue totaled $2.1 million in the second quarter of
2000, compared to $417,000 for the corresponding period in 1999. We expect sales
to continue to increase in the third and fourth quarters of 2000 as the use of
TOBI expands both in the U.S. and internationally.

        Operating Expenses. We incurred total operating expenses of $21.6
million in the second quarter of 2000, an increase of $4.4 million from $17.2
million in the second quarter of 1999. Cost of sales was $3.4 million for the
second quarter of 2000, up $884,000 from $2.5 million for the corresponding
period in 1999. The increase in cost of sales is directly related to the
corresponding increase in sales. However, cost of sales as a percentage of sales
declined as sales volumes increased. Research and development expense for the
second quarter of 2000 increased by $2.0 million to $9.5 million from $7.5
million for the corresponding period in 1999, as we continued our investment in
a number of development programs. These include preclinical studies and
manufacturing development on PA-1806, which we expect to enter Phase I clinical
trials later in 2000. In addition, our program to develop the next-generation
TOBI, with the goal of improving convenience and significantly shortening the
time required for a treatment, is currently advancing on schedule. In July 2000,
we began enrolling patients in a Phase I open-label randomized study of TOBI
using a portable inhaler made by AeroGen, Inc. We expect our research and
development expenses to increase over the next several quarters as our efforts
in these areas progress, and as we continue our clinical trials of TOBI in
cystic fibrosis and other patients. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2000 from $7.2 million for
the corresponding period in 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in sales and marketing costs. We have expanded and strengthened our
marketing efforts in the U.S. in order to further penetrate the cystic fibrosis
market. In addition, we have made significant investments in establishing sales
and marketing capabilities in Europe. We expect our selling, general and
administrative expenses to increase over the next several quarters as we
continue to expand TOBI's markets.

        Net Loss. We had an operating loss of $1.2 million in the second quarter
of 2000, a decrease of $1.7 million from the operating loss of $2.9 million in
the second quarter of 1999. This decrease in operating loss was due to improved
TOBI sales in the second quarter of 2000. Including net other income (primarily
income from investment securities), our net loss for the second quarter of 2000
was $742,000, compared to a net loss of $2.5 million for the second quarter of
1999. In the second quarter of 2000, net investment income decreased by $95,000
to $601,000 from $696,000 for the corresponding period in 1999. The decrease was
primarily due to lower average invested cash balances. Interest expense, most of
which represents the amortization of the discount on our obligation to the
Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, totaled $74,000 and $183,000 in the second quarters
of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

        Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 and 1999

        Revenues. Revenues in the first six months of 2000 totaled $39.9
million, including $39.6 million from TOBI sales. Revenues for the corresponding
period in 1999 were $24.6 million, with $24.1 million from sales of TOBI.
Significant contributors to this improvement in revenue are increased TOBI use
in the U.S. by people with cystic fibrosis and other serious lung infections, as
well as higher TOBI sales in international markets.

        Operating Expenses. We incurred total operating expenses of $41.9
million in the first six months of 2000, an increase of $9.1 million from $32.8
million in the first half of 1999. Cost of sales was $6.9 million for the first
six months of 2000, up $2.2 million from $4.7 million for the corresponding
period in 1999. The increase in cost of sales is directly related to the
corresponding increase in sales. However, cost of sales as a percentage of sales
declined as sales volumes increased. Research and development expense for the
first six months of 2000 increased by $3.7 million to $18.0 million from $14.3
million for the first half of 1999. This increase is primarily the result of
preclinical studies and manufacturing development on PA-1806 and our development
of the next-generation TOBI. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased to $17.0 million for the first six months of 2000 from $13.7 million
for the corresponding period in 1999. This increase is primarily attributable to
the expansion of our sales and marketing efforts, both in the U.S. and
internationally.

        Net Loss. We had an operating loss of $2.0 million in the first six
months of 2000, a decrease of $6.2 million from the operating loss of $8.2
million in the first half of 1999. This decrease in operating loss was due to
improved TOBI sales in the first six months of 2000. Including net other income
(primarily income from investment securities), our net loss for the first half
of 2000 was $1.1 million, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million for the first
six months of 1999. In the first half of 2000, net investment income decreased
by $251,000 to $1.3 million from $1.5 million for the corresponding period in
1999. The decrease was primarily due to lower average invested cash balances.
Interest expense, most of which represents the amortization of the discount on
our obligation to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, totaled $184,000 and $402,000
in the first six months of 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Our combined cash, cash equivalents and investment securities totaled
$39.3 million at June 30, 2000, a decrease of $5.7 million from the balance of
$45.0 million at December 31, 1999. We expect that these funds, in combination
with expected revenues from sales of TOBI, should be sufficient to meet our
operating expenses and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. In
addition, we have a $10.0 million revolving line of credit from Harris Trust and
Savings Bank.

        Net cash used in operating activities totaled $427,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, compared to $6.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 1999. We incurred a $1.1 million net loss for the six months ended June
30, 2000, compared to a net loss of $7.2 million for the corresponding period in
the prior year. Significant changes in working capital components included a
$2.9 million increase in accounts receivable and a $1.4 million decrease in
inventories, compared to a $6.5 million decrease in accounts receivable and $5.7
million increase in inventories for the same period a year ago. Also, in the
first half of 2000, we invested $2.5 million in convertible preferred stock of
privately held AeroGen, Inc. AeroGen is the developer of the hand-held, portable
AeroDose Inhaler, which is being developed to administer our next- generation
TOBI. In addition, we made our final installment payment of $5.3 million for the
rights in TOBI acquired from the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, and realized
proceeds of $2.7 million on a 15-year loan from Lloyds TSB Bank PLC. At June 30,
2000, our working capital was $55.5 million and current ratio was 7.60 to 1.

        We plan to continue our policy of investing excess funds in government
securities and investment grade, interest-bearing securities, primarily those
with an expected maturity of one-and-one-half years or less.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and changes in the market
values of our investments, in addition to changes in foreign currency exchange
rates.

        Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to debt securities included in our investment portfolio. We do not
hold any derivative financial instruments. We invest in government securities
and high-quality corporate obligations. Investments in both fixed rate and
floating rate interest-earning instruments carry a degree of interest rate risk.
Fixed rate securities may decline in fair market value due to a rise in
prevailing interest rates, while floating rate securities may produce less
income than expected if prevailing interest rates fall. Due in part to these
factors, our future investment income may fall short of expectations due to
changes in interest rates, or we may suffer losses in principal if forced to
sell securities which have declined in market value due to changes in interest
rates. At June 30, 2000, we owned $2.6 million in government debt instruments
and $32.1 million in corporate debt securities. Our exposure to losses as a
result of interest rate changes is managed through investing in securities
predominantly with maturities of one-and-one-half years or less.

        Substantially all the revenue and operating expenses of our subsidiaries
are denominated in local foreign currencies and translated into U.S. dollars at
rates of exchange approximating those existing at the date of the transactions.
Foreign currency translation primarily impacts revenue and operating expenses as
a result of exchange rate fluctuations. Because our inventories

                                       7
<PAGE>


are manufactured in the U.S., foreign currency fluctuations generally do not
affect our cost of sales. Our foreign currency transaction risk is primarily
limited to amounts receivable from our subsidiaries and distributors, which are
denominated in local foreign currencies. We do not currently utilize foreign
currency hedging contracts. If the U.S. dollar uniformly increases in strength
by 10% in 2000 relative to the currencies in which our sales are denominated,
results of operations would not be significantly impacted. New Accounting
Pronouncements

        In December 1999, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC) released Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), Revenue Recognition
in Financial Statements, which must be applied in the fourth quarter of 2000.
SAB 101 provides guidance on revenue recognition and the SEC staff's views on
the application of accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.
We do not expect that the application of SAB 101 will have a material effect on
our financial statements.

        In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation. Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the application of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25) and is effective July 1, 2000.
Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the definition of "employee" for purposes of
applying APB 25, the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of various modifications to the
terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and the accounting for an
exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination. We do not
expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 44 to have a material impact on our
financial statements.

        In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities. This statement establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging
activities. In May 1999, the FASB delayed the effective date of SFAS 133 to
fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000, with interim reporting required. In
June 2000, the FASB issued SFAS 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS 133, which
makes minor modifications to SFAS 133. We do not expect that the application of
SFAS 133 or 138 will have a material effect on our financial position or the
results of operations.

Item 1   Legal Proceedings

     On February 18, 2000, the United States District Court for the Western
District of Washington dismissed with prejudice all eight consolidated putative
class action lawsuits that had been filed in March and April 1999 against
PathoGenesis Corporation, our chief executive officer and our chief financial
officer. The eight consolidated lawsuits purported to allege claims on behalf of
all purchasers of PathoGenesis common stock during the period January 15, 1999
to March 22, 1999. Plaintiffs had claimed that the company and the officers
violated certain provisions of the federal securities laws by making statements
in early 1999 regarding the company's 1998 financial results. The court's order
dismissed the consolidated cases and bars plaintiffs from filing another lawsuit
on the matter. Plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal order to the United States
Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. We intend to defend the appeal
vigorously. Although we cannot ascertain the ultimate outcome of the appeal at
this time or predict with certainty the results of legal proceedings, we
currently believe that the resolution of the appeal will not have a material
adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 5   Other Information

     On August 13, 2000, we entered into an agreement with Chiron Corporation
for Chiron to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of PathoGenesis for
approximately $700 million or $38.50 per share. The transaction will be in the
form of a cash tender offer, which is expected to close in the third or fourth
quarter, subject to customary closing conditions including necessary regulatory
approvals. The transaction has been approved by the board of directors of each
company.

     On August 9, 2000, TOBI(R) (tobramycin solution for inhalation) cleared the
mutual recognition process required for marketing the inhaled antibiotic in 15
additional countries in the European Union, recognizing the drug's earlier
approval by United Kingdom, the reference member state of the EU. Each
additional country is expected to issue a marketing authorization for TOBI
during the next few months.
