                CHANTAL PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION
                                 
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 
                            (unaudited)
                                 
NOTE 1 - GENERAL

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Chantal Pharmaceutical 
Corporation (the "Company") have been prepared without audit pursuant to the 
rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain 
information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial 
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and 
regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are 
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  In the opinion of 
management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, 
necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of 
September 30, 1997 and the results of its operations for the three months 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the cash flows for the three months 
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been included.  The results of 
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the 
results which may be realized for the full year.  For further information, 
refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included 
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K  for the fiscal year ended June 
30, 1997.

Revenue is recognized upon shipment to Stanson Marketing, Inc. ("Stanson"), 
the Company's U.S. distributor, with respect to products which were not 
distributed on an autoship basis, and revenue is recognized with respect to 
products distributed on an autoship basis upon sale by Stanson to its 
customers.  On November 21, 1995, the Company, exercising its June 29, 1995 
Distribution Agreement contractual right, notified Stanson that all future 
sales of Ethocyn products by Stanson were to be autoship.  Accordingly, the 
Company considers all products shipped to Stanson after November 21, 1995 as 
being subject to distribution on an autoship basis.  This revenue recognition 
policy complies with FASB 48 "Revenue Recognition when Right of Return 
Exists". In September 1997, the Company, in addition to sales through 
Stanson, commenced selling, with the consent of Stanson, directly to certain 
retailers.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, 
its wholly-owned subsidiaries and its 90% owned subsidiary, Chantal Skin Care 
Corporation ("Chantal Skin Care"). All significant intercompany accounts and 
transactions have been eliminated.

Net loss per share

The computation of net loss per share for the three month period ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996 are based on the weighted average number of 
common and common equivalent shares outstanding.  When dilutive, stock 
options, warrants and convertible Preferred Stock are included as share 
equivalents using the treasury stock method.  Primary and fully diluted 
earnings per share are the same for each of the periods presented.

NOTE 2 - LITIGATION

The Company and Chantal Burnison are defendants in an action titled Marksman 
Partners, L.P., on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated vs 
Chantal Pharmaceutical Corporation and Chantal Burnison, filed on February 7, 
1996 in the United States District Court, Central District of California, 
Western Division, Case No. 96-0872.  This action is a securities class action 
on behalf of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired the common stock 
of the Company between July 10, 1995 and January 5, 1996, inclusive.  

The Marksman Partners action is based on a contention that the Company's 
accounting for sales revenue, because of the nature of its distribution 
agreement with Stanson Marketing, Inc. overstated its revenues for fiscal 
(June 30) 1995 and for the September 30, 1995 quarter ($3 million and $10 
million, respectively), which , the action claims, violated generally 
accepted accounting principles and the Federal securities laws. The complaint 
notes that Chantal Burnison sold 300,000 shares during the class period (The 
sales were actually made by CBD Pharmaceutical Corporation from approximate 
holdings of 1.3 million shares.) The complaint appears to rely on details of 
the contractual relationship with the distributor to contend that the 

                                       6


<PAGE>

revenues should not have been booked by the Company based on shipped orders 
from the distributor, since among other reasons, plaintiffs allege that 
Stanson, during the relevant time period, had the right to require the 
Company to purchase Stanson on a formula dependent on its income from the 
Company's products' sales, and the Company did not have a substantial history 
of selling through the distributor and the distribution system.  The action 
seeks monetary damages in an unspecified amount.  An amount sought on the 
basis stated in the complaint would be substantially in excess of the 
Company's current net worth.

The Company believes its financial reports were correctly presented under 
generally accepted accounting principles. A motion to dismiss the Marksman 
Partners action was denied, and pre-trial discovery in the Marksman Partners 
action has commenced.  The Company is defending itself against the claims 
asserted in the litigation.  

In addition, a derivative action based on many of the same contentions as 
made in Marksman has been filed against the Company and Chantal Burnison.  
The action, entitled Baruch Singer and Dorothea E. Wakefield vs. Chantal 
Burnison, defendant, and Chantal Pharmaceutical Corporation, nominal 
defendant, was filed in the Superior Court of the State of California, the 
County of Los Angeles, case No. BC 147327.  In June 1997, the plaintiffs 
amended the complaint to assert a claim against the Company's former 
auditors, Coopers & Lybrand LLP, for negligence and professional malpractice 
arising out of Coopers & Lybrand's audit of the Company's fiscal year 1995 
financial statements which are the subject of both the Marksman and Singer 
actions.   Coopers & Lybrand's motion to dismiss the case was denied.

In October, 1996, the Company completed the sale of $5.25 million principal 
amount of 8% convertible debentures due December 31, 1998.  The debentures 
were sold to investors qualifying as "non U.S. persons" in an offering 
completed under Regulation S.  The debentures were convertible into shares of 
common stock of the Company as to one-third of the principal amount of each 
debenture after forty five (45) days from the date of issuance, an additional 
one-third after seventy-five (75) days from the date of issuance and the 
balance after ninety (90) days from the date of issuance.  The conversion 
price is the lesser of $3.91 or 80% of the average closing bid price of the 
Company's common stock for the five business days immediately preceding the 
conversion date.

Certain investors have commenced action against the Company relating to this 
offering.  The Company has honored all conversions tendered by investors to 
date, and settled all pending litigation arising out of this offering, except 
for the settlement of approximately $16,000 of liquidated damages and an as 
yet unspecified amount of attorneys fees and costs awarded to one investor.

NOTE 3 - CONVERTIBLE DEBENTURES

In September 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 2,930,327 
shares of its Common Stock upon conversion of $1,893,333 principal amount, an 
average of $.65 per share, of its 8% convertible debentures.  (See Note 2)

NOTE 4  - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In October and November 1997, the Company issued an aggregate of 3,958,451 
shares of its Common Stock upon conversion of $1,483,333 principal amount, an 
average of $.37 per share, of its 8% convertible debentures (see Note 2).  
Had such conversion been affected at September 30, 1997, the Company would 
have had Stockholder's Equity of $1,602,084.  The proforma column appearing 
on the Consolidated Balance Sheet gives effect at September 30, 1997 to the 
referenced conversion.

                       CHANTAL PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION
Item 2.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Under the Company's revenue recognition policy adopted with respect to the 
fiscal year ended June 30, 1996, relating to sales by the Company to its U.S. 
distributor, Stanson Marketing, Inc. ("Stanson"), revenue is recognized upon 
shipment to Stanson with respect to products which were not distributed on an 
autoship basis, and revenue is recognized with respect to products 
distributed on an autoship basis upon sale by Stanson to its customers. The 
Company considers all products shipped to Stanson after November 21, 1995 as 
being subject to distribution on an autoship basis.  This revenue recognition 
policy complies with FASB 48 "Revenue Recognition when Right of Return 
Exists". In September 1997, the Company, in addition to sales through 
Stanson, commenced selling, with the consent of Stanson, directly to certain 
retailers.

Accordingly, for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 
1997 revenue from Stanson consisted of products to be distributed on an 
auto-ship basis and were recognized upon sale by Stanson to its customers.

Revenues are primarily comprised of the Company's sales of Ethocyn-based 
Chantal skin care products.  Net revenues for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 decreased to $919,580 from $1,909,636 for the three months 
ended September 30, 1996.  Revenue for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 
includes approximately $932,000 established as an allowance against accounts 
receivable from Stanson that are beyond the agreed upon payment terms 
corresponding to a portion of the accounts receivable owed to Stanson by its 
customers.  Revenue, before the allowance, were approximately $1,851,000. The 
Company also considered recent cash receipts collected in estimating the 
reserve.  However, the amount the Company ultimately collects could differ 
materially from the amount estimated.

Cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues from product sales during the 
three months ended September 30, 1997 was 50% of revenues as compared with 
17% of revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996.  The increase 
in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenues is primarily due to sales 
reserves, as described above, of approximately $932,000 which negatively 
effected cost of sales as a percentage of revenue and a change in product mix.

Marketing and other expenses related to cosmetic sales decreased 61% to 
$725,675 in the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1,874,509 
in the three months ended September 30, 1996.  These expenses resulted from 
the marketing and promoting of the Ethocyn-based skin care products and 
decreased from the prior period primarily due to decrease in Ethocyn product 
advertising expenditures of approximately $515,000 and decrease in 
promotional expenditure of approximately $508,000 as compared to the prior 
year period.

General and administrative expenses decreased 34% to $1,078,033 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $1,625,014 for the three months 
ended September 30, 1996.  This is primarily due to a decrease in legal 
professional services of approximately $564,000 as compared to the prior year 
period.

Interest expense increased for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as 
compared with the three months ended September 30, 1996 primarily due to the 
addition of $5.25 million of 8% convertible debentures in October 1996.  

There is no income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 1997. 
The deferred tax assets as of September 30, 1997, has a 100% valuation 
allowance as management cannot determine if it is more likely than not that 
the deferred tax assets will be realized.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company is experiencing a severe cash flow shortage. The Company is 
dependent on cash generated by telemarketing sales and payments by Stanson 
Marketing, Inc., the Company's U.S. distributor, from its collection of 
accounts receivable relating to Chantal's Skin Care products. Both 
telemarketing sales and sales at retail are highly dependent on advertising, 
and the Company's ability to fund broad based advertising has been limited by 
the lack of available cash. The Company has been funding advertising on a 
limited basis, including most recently on the "Imus in the Morning" radio 
show syndicated throughout the country, and believes that the response to 
this advertising has been excellent, and consistent with retail product sell 
through results from prior advertising.

Management has been concentrating its efforts on achieving a termination 
agreement with Stanson and to negotiating with the holders of convertible 
debentures issued October 1996 under Regulation S to complete the conversion 
of all outstanding debentures. One of the obstacles to concluding an 
agreement with Stanson has been a determination of the number of shares to be 
outstanding based on the conversion of the convertible debentures. Management 
believes that the Company will be able to complete a termination agreement 
with Stanson in the near future on terms more favorable to the Company than 
previously announced. Pending such termination agreement, the Company has 
been distributing, with Stanson's consent, its products directly to certain 
retailers and expects that substantially all revenues for the three months 
ending December 31, 1997 will reflect direct sales by the Company to the 
retail market. This, in turn, is expected to generate future cash flow to 
fund the Company's operations, including increased advertising.

A major drain on the Company's cash has also been for professional fees 
relating to the litigation, including class action law suits. The Company is 
exploring the possibility of settling the class action law suit, although no 
assurance can be given that a settlement on terms acceptable to the Company 
can be reached.

The Company used net cash flows in operations of $472,097 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1997 principally due to the net loss of $1,619,819 
offset by a decrease in inventory of $321,502, an increase in accounts 
payable and accrued expenses of $423,002 and depreciation and amortization 
expense of $418,426. 

During the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Company received 
$167,851 in proceeds from the issuance of short term debt and notes payable 
to Stanson Marketing and $346,079 in proceeds from loans made by Ms. 
Burnison, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, 
during the quarter. 

For fiscal 1998, the Company will continue to generate cash through its 
telemarketing sales, collection of existing accounts receivable and sales in 
the U.S. and foreign markets. Management also plans to continually monitor and

                                       9

<PAGE>

make changes to overhead costs as needed.  The Company is also seeking 
additional financing to help fund future operations.

Management views the first fiscal quarter as a transition period from the 
distribution of products through Stanson to becoming a fully integrated 
marketing company. During this quarter, limited sales were made by Stanson 
while the Company was also limited in its ability to implement distribution 
directly to retailers pending termination of the Stanson Agreement. In 
October, the Company shipped in excess of $1,520,000 of products directly to 
retailers. The customer base and distribution outlets have begun to be 
expanded through the recent addition of well known personalities, as Company 
spokepeople, new products and lowered product pricing. The Company has 
reached tentative agreement with retail chain operators under which the 
Company expects its product will be distributed into an additional 7,500 
locations.  Distribution into these new retail locations is expected to 
commence as the Company's advertising campaign proceeds.  Additionally Polly 
Bergen, a director and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and a 
nationally recognized television and Emmy award winning actress is being 
featured as the flagship Ethocyn celebrity spokeperson on The Home Shopping 
Network.  The Company is also planning to distribute the Ethocyn-based skin 
care products via direct response on page print and through the airing of an 
infomercial which will expand the current distribution channel.

In conjunction with the expansion in the retail market, the Company has begun 
an electronic media advertising campaign which are broadcasting the 
geographical regions with the major retail distribution.  These advertisments 
feature celebrity individuals who uses the Chantal Ethocyn products on only 
one-half of their face in 30 and 60 second spots.  The Company is in 
negotiations with potential financing which will support this advertising 
campaign.       

In the international market, pursuant to a sublicensing agreement, Michilan 
International distributes the Ethocyn-based skin care products in China, Hong 
Kong, Macao and Taiwan.  The first shipment under this agreement was made in 
December 1996.  In addition, the Company, in cooperation with its Master 
Distributor, is in negotiations for distribution by other potential 
sublicensees for other territories in the Pacific Rim. Recent devaluation of 
currencies in certain Pacific Rim countries have delayed the scheduled launch 
in those countries. In Europe, the Company is test marketing for product 
positioning and pricing. The European market launch programs include 
physician product endorsement, print and selected direct response in England 
and physician, cosmetician directed print and television direct response on 
the continent. David Hasselhoff, the executive producer and star of the 
number one worldwide "Baywatch" and "Baywatch Nights" television series, is 
the celebrity spokesperson for the Company's Ethocyn-based skin care products 
in the Pacific Rim and Europe.  He will be featured in television and print 
advertisements as well as participate in promotional tours and appearances.  

The Company is currently extending its skin care product line with the 
addition of the Ethocyn Safe Sun Treatment and plans to include additional 
sun care products,  super moisturizing night and neck creams and a men's 
line.  The men's line is planned for initial  launch in Europe with an 
endorsement from David Hasselhoff.

The independent certified public accountants have expressed in their opinion 
on the June 30, 1997 financial statements that the Company has suffered 
recurring losses from operations and has a working capital deficiency that 
raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company believes the collection of existing accounts receivable and sales 
in the U.S. and foreign markets (through retail, The Home Shopping Network, 
direct response), together with additional funds  being negotiated will 
enable it to meet its cash requirements through fiscal 1998. There can be no 
assurance that the Company will be successful in securing these additional 
funds and generating sufficient cash flows from operations to meet its 
marketing and distribution plans. 

In addition, the Company expects to continue to develop certain of its 
compounds to pharmaceutical market approvals, both U.S. and foreign.  In this 
regard, the Company may be required to obtain additional funds to complete 
the research, development and expanded commercialization of such products.  
Such funds are expected to be obtained from one or more of the following 
sources: (i) sales of Ethocyn-based cosmetics products  (ii) amounts to be 
received pursuant to the Company's license agreements, including royalties 
from anticipated sales of Ethocyn-based and Cyoctol-based products; (iii) 
strategic alliances with other companies, including joint venture, joint 
development or license agreements; and (iv) additional equity or debt 
offerings.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be 
successful in obtaining additional funds from any of the foregoing sources.

The Company, at this time, does not have any material commitments for capital 
expenditures.

Item 5. Other Information

In October, in anticipation of the completion of Stanson Termination 
Agreement, the Company realized the following actions towards integration of 
previous Stanson-controlled North American Ethocyn Products retail marketing 
into the Company's own infrastructure and operation.

A relocation from Los Angeles to New York City of its corporate headquarters 
and executive offices. Several key employees including chairman/CEO, Chantal 
Burnison, Chief Operating Officer, Polly Bergen, VP Media, Kim Hunter, 
International Product Administrator, Melanie Ariken, are relocating to New 
York City, to join Joseph DeKama, Executive Vice President, and his marketing 
staff. The Company's Chief Financial Officer, Yvette Lamprecht, left the 
Company to pursue other opportunities. Ms. Lamprecht remains a consultant to 
the Company in connection with certain accounting and financial statement 
matters.

Charles P. Scalzo, of New York, has assumed the function of Chief Financial 
Officer at the Company's new New York headquarters and executive offices. Mr. 
Scalzo served for several months as a marketing operations financial 
consultant to the Company prior to assuming his new CFO position. Mr. Scalzo 
comes to the Company with 29 years of Financial and management experience. 
Most recently, from 1989 through 1987, he served as Chief Financial Officer, 
and subsequently a consultant, to a privately held cosmetic, fragrance and 
skin care company owned by Gayle Hayman, co-founder of Giorgio Fragrances.

The Company has relocated its previous limited Ethocyn product warehouse, 
shipping and fulfillment operations from its own Jefferson Blvd. Los Angeles 
facility to one of the largest national public warehousing operations 
companies in North America. With its responsibility of configuring product 
SKUs to certain retail chains specifications, shipping and fulfilling 
directly to retailers and wholesalers, management, upon cost and efficiency 
analysis, has entered into a contract with a third party contract company which 
has an IT system offering complete EDI functionality and cost effective 
packing and shipping.

The Company's 3 year old skin care consultant telemarketing division will 
maintain an operation facility in Los Angeles, CA with telecomputer 
networking directly to the contract fulfillment and warehouse company and to 
the Companys' New York City corporate and marketing headquarters.

Stanson has accommodated the Company with a 6 week "transition" information 
and training program wherein retailer files, information policies and 
personnel introductions are being transferred to CPC employees.

In other developments, the Company's Board of Directors has reduced in number 
from 9 to 5. Resigned directors are Sheldon Brody,  George Goldstein, M.D., 
Norman Estrin, Ph.D., and Gilbert Raker.
