              Notes To Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                                   (Unaudited)


(1)  Organization and Basis of Presentation

     The  unaudited   consolidated  condensed  financial  statements  have  been
prepared  from the  books  and  records  of  Enzon,  Inc.  and  subsidiaries  in
accordance with generally accepted  accounting  principles for interim financial
information.  Accordingly,  they  do not  include  all of  the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
annual  financial  statements.  In the opinion of  management,  all  adjustments
(consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a
fair  presentation  have been  included.  Interim  results  are not  necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year.

(2)  Net Loss Per Common Share

     Basic and  diluted  loss per common  share is based on the net loss for the
relevant period, adjusted for cumulative undeclared preferred stock dividends of
$14,000 and $108,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  and
$108,000  and  $161,000  for the nine  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and 1999,
respectively,  divided  by the  weighted  average  number of shares  issued  and
outstanding  during the period.  Due to the net loss  recorded for the three and
nine months  ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,  the exercise or  conversion  of all
dilutive  potential  common  shares is not  included for purposes of the diluted
loss per share  calculation.  As of March 31,  2000,  the Company had  5,614,000
common  stock  equivalents  outstanding  that could  potentially  dilute  future
diluted earnings per share calculations.

(3)  Inventories

     The  composition  of  inventories at March 31, 2000 and June 30, 1999 is as
follows:

                                               March 31,          June 30,
                                                 2000               1999
                                              ----------         ----------

     Raw Materials                            $  112,000         $  503,000
     Work in process                             986,000            548,000
     Finished goods                              289,000            276,000
                                              ----------         ----------
                                              $1,387,000         $1,327,000
                                              ==========         ==========

(4)  Cash Flow Information

     The Company considers all highly liquid securities with original maturities
of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  Cash payments for interest were
approximately  $4,000 and $8,000 for the nine  months  ended  March 31, 2000 and
1999,  respectively.  There were no income tax payments made for the nine months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

     During the nine  months  ended  March 31,  2000  80,000  shares of Series A
Cumulative  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  ("Series  A  Preferred  Stock")  were
converted to 181,818 shares of Common Stock.  Accrued dividends of $1,542,000 on
the Series A Preferred  Stock that was  converted  during the nine months  ended
March 31, 2000, were settled by a cash payment.  Additionally, a cash payment of
$4 was made for fractional shares related to this conversion.

(5)  Stockholders' Equity

     In March  2000,  the Company  sold  2,300,000  shares in Common  Stock in a
public  offering  at a gross  offering  price  $44.50  per share.  The  offering
resulted in gross  proceeds of  approximately  $102,350,000  and net proceeds of
approximately $95,670,000.

     During the nine months ended March 31,  2000,  warrants  were  exercised to
purchase  802,000  shares of the Company's  Common Stock at $4.30 per share.  Of
this amount,  702,000  warrants were issued in connection  with our January 1996
private  placement  and  100,000  warrants  were  issued  during  fiscal 1999 as
compensation for consulting  services.  These exercises resulted in net proceeds
of approximately $3,450,000.

     On April 27, 2000 warrants  were  exercised to purchase  176,261  shares of
Common Stock. These warrants were originally issued in connection with our March
1996 private placement.  This exercise resulted in net proceeds of approximately
$956,000.

     The  exercise  price of and the  number  of  shares  issuable  under  these
warrants had been adjusted under standard  anti-dilution  provisions  based upon
the Company's issuance of shares of Common Stock at prices below the fair market
value of the Common Stock, as defined in the warrants.

(6)  Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

     On December 7, 1999 the stockholders voted to increase the number of shares
reserved for issuance under the Company's  Non-Qualified  Stock Option Plan from
6,200,000 to  7,900,000.  During the nine months ended March 31, 2000, we issued
290,000 stock options at an average exercise price of $33.54 per share under our
Non-Qualified  Stock  Option Plan,  as amended,  of which 75,000 were granted to
executive  officers,  as part of a bonus plan for the year ended June 30,  1999,
and 70,000 were granted to Independent  Directors.  None of the options  granted
during the period are exercisable as of March 31, 2000. All options were granted
with  exercise  prices  that  equaled or exceeded  the fair market  value of the
underlying stock on the date of grant.

(7)  Business Segments

     A single  management  team  that  reports  to the Chief  Executive  Officer
comprehensively manages the Company's business operations.  The Company does not
operate separate lines of business or separate business entities with respect to
any of our approved products or product  candidates.  In addition,  there are no
operations conducted outside of the United States. Discrete financial statements
are not prepared with respect to separate product areas. Accordingly,  we do not
have  separately  reportable  segments  as defined  by  Statement  of  Financial
Accounting  Standards No. 131,  "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and
Related Information".

(8)  Comprehensive Loss

     The net loss of $1,685,000  and  $1,441,000,  recorded for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and  $5,145,000 and  $3,426,000,  recorded for the
nine  months  ended  March  31,  2000 and  1999,  respectively,  is equal to the
comprehensive loss for those periods.

(9)  Commitments and Contingencies

     In January  2000,  Hoffmann-La  Roche filed  lawsuits in both the U.S.  and
France  against  Schering-Plough  alleging  that  PEG-Intron  infringes  certain
patents held by Hoffmann-La Roche. The validity and scope of Hoffmann-La Roche's
patents in this segment of the industry  could be judicially  determined  during
these proceedings.

                                       6

         Notes To Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, Continued
                                   (Unaudited)


The  litigation is at a very early stage and we are not in a position to predict
its outcome. If Schering-Plough does not prevail in this litigation, Hoffmann-La
Roche may completely block  Schering-Plough from commercializing  PEG-Intron and
we will not receive any royalties on the sales of PEG-Intron.  This would have a
material  adverse  effect on our  business,  financial  condition and results of
operations.

     In the course of normal  operations,  we are subject to the  marketing  and
manufacturing  regulations as  established  by the Food and Drug  Administration
("FDA").  We have agreed with the FDA to  temporary  labeling  and  distribution
modifications  for ONCASPAR due to increased  levels of  particulates in certain
batches of  ONCASPAR,  which we  manufactured.  We,  rather  than our  marketing
partner,  Rhone-Poulenc  Rorer ("RPR"),  will  temporarily  distribute  ONCASPAR
directly  to  patients,  on an as  needed  basis.  We  will  conduct  additional
inspection and labeling procedures prior to distribution.

     We have manufactured  several batches of ONCASPAR which contain  acceptable
levels of particulates  and anticipate a final  resolution of the problem during
fiscal 2000.  It is expected  that RPR will resume  distribution  of ONCASPAR at
that time.  There can be no assurance  that this  solution will be acceptable to
the FDA or RPR. If we cannot  resolve this  problem it is possible  that the FDA
may not permit us to continue to distribute this product. An extended disruption
in the  marketing and  distribution  of ONCASPAR  could have a material  adverse
impact on future ONCASPAR sales.

     We  maintain  a  separate  supply  agreement  with  RPR,  under  which  RPR
purchases, from us, all of RPR's requirements for ONCASPAR at a price defined in
the supply  agreement.  We are  currently in  discussions  with RPR related to a
disagreement  over the purchase price of ONCASPAR under the supply  agreement we
have with RPR. RPR has asserted that we have  overcharged  them under the supply
agreement  in the amount of  $2,300,000.  We believe  our costing and pricing of
ONCASPAR to RPR complies with the supply agreement.

     RPR has also  asserted that we should be  responsible  for its lost profits
while ONCASPAR is under the temporary  labeling and distribution  modifications.
RPR contends that its lost profits through March 31, 2000 were $6,700,000. We do
not agree with RPR's claim for these over charges under the supply agreement and
lost profits.  We do not believe the ultimate  resolution of these disagreements
with RPR will have a  material  adverse  effect  on our  financial  position  or
results of operations.

     During April 2000,  we agreed to binding  arbitration  to settle a lawsuit,
brought against us by LBC Capital  Resources,  Inc.  ("LBC") a former  financial
advisor, in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The
arbitrator awarded LBC a $6,000,000 judgment. In its suit LBC claimed that under
a May 2,  1995  letter  agreement  between  LBC and us,  LBC was  entitled  to a
commission  in  connection  with our January and March 1996 private  placements,
comprised of $675,000 and  warrants to purchase  1,250,000  shares of our common
stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.  As a result of the  arbitration,
we recognized a net charge to selling,  general and  administrative  expenses of
approximately  $2,600,000  during the quarter  ended March 31, 2000.  The charge
represents the net profit and loss effect of the incremental  reserves  provided
specifically for this litigation,  offset by the reduction during the quarter of
$2,900,000 of other contingency accruals that were deemed to not be required for
certain  other  contingencies.  During  April  2000,  we made a cash  payment of
$3,500,000 to LBC. The remaining $2,500,000 is payable at our option in the form
of cash or common stock by June 30, 2000. At March 31, 2000,  the  $6,000,000 is
included in accrued expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheet.

(10) Schering Agreement

     During the quarter ended March 31, 2000 we received a $1,000,000  milestone
from our development partner for PEG-Intron,  Schering-Plough  Corporation.  The
payment was triggered by the FDA's acceptance of Schering-Plough's  U.S. marking
application  for the use of PEG-Intron in the treatment of chronic  hepatitis C.
Under the Company's licensing agreement with Schering-Plough, we are entitled to
royalties  on  worldwide  sales  of  PEG-Intron.  We  are  also  entitled  to an
additional  $2,000,000  milestone  payment  if FDA  approval  of  PEG-Intron  is
received.

     In February 2000,  Schering-Plough  also reported that the European Union's
(EU) European  Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal  Products  (EMEA) issued a
positive opinion recommending  approval of PEG-Intron for the treatment of adult
patients with chronic hepatitis C.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 2000 vs. Three months ended March 31, 1999

Revenues. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were $5,723,000, as
compared to $3,148,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000. The components
of revenues are sales,  which  consist of our sales of products and royalties on
the sale of these products by others, and contract revenues.  Sales increased by
50% to  $4,708,000  for the three months  ended March 31,  2000,  as compared to
$3,136,000  for the prior year.  The  increase  was due to an increase in ADAGEN
sales of  approximately  17%,  due to an increase in patients  receiving  ADAGEN
treatment and increased ADAGEN  reimbursement  levels.  Net sales of ADAGEN were
$3,277,000  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000 and  $2,802,000  for the
three  months  ended March 31,  1999.  The  increase in sales was also due to an
increase  in  sales  of  ONCASPAR.  During  November  1999,  the  Food  and Drug
Administration  (FDA) lifted some of the  temporary  labeling  and  distribution
restrictions  resulting  from  difficulties  encountered  in  our  manufacturing
process.  We market ADAGEN internally and ONCASPAR through marketing  agreements
in the U.S. and Canada with Rhone-Poulenc Rorer Pharmaceuticals Inc. ("RPR") and
in Europe with MEDAC GmbH ("MEDAC").

During 1998, we began to experience  manufacturing  problems with ONCASPAR.  The
problems  were due to an  increase in the levels of  particulates  in batches of
ONCASPAR which resulted in an increased rejection rate for this product.  During
fiscal 1999, as a result of these manufacturing problems, we agreed with the FDA
to temporary  labeling and distribution  restrictions for ONCASPAR.  RPR stopped
distributing  ONCASPAR  and we took over  distribution  of ONCASPAR  directly to
patients on an as-needed  basis.  We also instituted  additional  inspection and
labeling  procedures prior to distribution of the product.  In addition,  during
May 1999, the FDA required us to limit distribution of the product to only those
patients who are hypersensitive to native L-asparaginase.  In November 1999, the
FDA lifted this distribution restriction.

We have been able to  manufacture  several  batches of ONCASPAR,  which  contain
acceptable  levels of  particulates,  and  anticipate a final  resolution of the
problem  during the fourth  quarter of fiscal 2000. It is expected that RPR will
resume  distribution  of ONCASPAR at that time.  We cannot  assure you that this
solution  will be acceptable to the FDA or RPR. If we are unable to resolve this
problem  the FDA may not  permit  us to  continue  to  distribute  ONCASPAR.  An
extended  disruption in the marketing  and  distribution  of ONCASPAR may have a
material adverse effect on future sales of the products.

We expect  sales of ADAGEN to increase  at rates  comparable  to those  achieved
during the last two years as additional patients are treated. We also anticipate
ONCASPAR sales will remain at reduced levels until we resolve the  manufacturing
problem and RPR resumes  normal  distribution  of the product.  We cannot assure
that any  particular  sales  levels of ADAGEN or  ONCASPAR  will be  achieved or
maintained.

We had export sales of $1,012,000  for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
$674,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1999. Of these  amounts,  sales in
Europe were  $854,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and $520,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999.

Contract  revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 increased by $1,003,000,
as compared to the prior year.  The  increase in contract  revenues was due to a
$1,000,000  milestone  payment  from our  development  partner  for  PEG-Intron,
Schering-Plough Corporation. The payment was a result of the FDA's acceptance in
January 2000 of  Schering-Plough's  U.S.  marketing  application  for the use of
PEG-Intron in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales,  improved to 22% for the
three months ended March 31, 2000, as compared to 42% for the same period in the
prior year.  The  improvement  was  primarily due to a charge taken in the three
months ended March 31, 1999 related to the write-off of ONCASPAR  finished goods
on hand and in the  distribution  pipeline.  The write-off of ONCASPAR  finished
goods was attributable to the manufacturing problems previously discussed.

Research and Development.  Research and development expenses increased by 14% to
$1,921,000  for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 from  $1,683,000  for the
same period last year.  The increase  was due to  increased  payroll and related
expenses, as well as increased  expenditures related to the clinical development
of  PEG-camptothecin  which is in Phase I clinical  trials,  and the preclinical
development of other PEG compounds.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  2000  increased  by 161% to
$4,928,000, as compared to $1,889,000 in 1999. The increase was primarily due to
a net charge, of $2,579,000,  which included the impact of a binding arbitration
award of  $6,000,000,  related to a lawsuit  brought by LBC  Capital  Resources,
Inc., a former financial  advisor.  The charge  represents the net effect of the
incremental  reserves provided  specifically for this litigation,  offset by the
reduction  during the quarter of $2,900,000 of other  contingency  accruals that
were deemed to not be required for certain other contingencies. The increase was
also due to increased legal fees related to increased  patent filing and defense
costs.

Other income/expense. Other income/expense was $483,000, as compared to $288,000
for the same period in the prior year. The increase in other  income/expense  is
attributable  to an increase  in  interest  income as a result of an increase in
interest bearing investments.

Nine months ended March 31, 2000 vs. Nine months ended March 31, 1999

Revenues.  Revenues  for the nine  months  ended  March 31,  2000  increased  by
$2,468,000 to  $12,402,000  as compared to  $9,934,000  for the same period last
year.  The  components  of  revenues  are sales,  which  consist of sales of our
products  and  royalties on the sale of these  products by others,  and contract
revenues.  Sales increased by 15% to $11,325,000 for the nine months ended March
31, 2000, as compared to $9,854,000  for the prior year. The increase was due to
an increase in ADAGEN sales of approximately  13%, resulting from an increase in
patients receiving ADAGEN treatment and increased ADAGEN  reimbursement  levels.
Net sales of ADAGEN,  which we market, were $9,319,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2000 and $8,231,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999. ONCASPAR
revenues  increased by $495,000 from the prior year.  During  November 1999, the
FDA  lifted  some  of  the  temporary  labeling  and  distribution  restrictions
resulting from difficulties encountered in our manufacturing process, previously
discussed. We had export sales of $3,018,000 for the nine months ended March

31, 2000 and  $2,397,000  for the nine months  ended  March 31,  1999.  Of these
amounts,  sales in Europe were  $2,602,000  for the nine months  ended March 31,
2000 and $2,007,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1999.

Contract revenues  increased by $997,000 to $1,077,000 for the nine months ended
March 31, 2000, as compared to $79,000 for the prior year's period. The increase
in  contract  revenues  was  due to a  $1,000,000  milestone  payment  from  our
development partner for PEG-Intron, Schering-Plough Corporation. The payment was
a result of the FDA's  acceptance  in  January  2000 of  Schering-Plough's  U.S.
marketing  application  for the use of  PEG-Intron  in the  treatment of chronic
hepatitis C.

Cost of Sales. Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales,  improved to 27% for the
nine months ended March 31,  2000,  as compared to 37% for the nine months ended
March 31, 1999.  The  improvement  was  primarily  due to a charge taken in 1999
related to the write-off of ONCASPAR  finished  goods on hand.  The prior year's
write-off  of  ONCASPAR  finished  goods  was  attributable  to  the  previously
discussed manufacturing problems.

Research and Development.  Research and development  expenses increased by 8% to
$5,512,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2000 from  $5,106,000 in the same
period  last  year.  The  increase  was due to  increased  payroll  and  related
expenses, as well as increased  expenditures related to the clinical development
of PEG-camptothecin, and preclinical development of other PEG compounds.

Selling,  General  and  Administrative.   Selling,  general  and  administrative
expenses  for  the  nine  months  ended  March  31,  2000  increased  by  82% to
$10,064,000, as compared to $5,533,000 in the same period of the prior year. The
increase was primarily due to a net charge,  of  $2,579,000,  which included the
impact  of a  binding  arbitration  award of  $6,000,000,  related  to a lawsuit
brought by LBC Capital Resources,  Inc., a former financial advisor.  The charge
represents the net effect of the incremental reserves provided  specifically for
this  litigation,  offset by the  reduction  during the quarter of $2,900,000 of
other contingency accruals that were deemed to not be required for certain other
contingencies.  Additionally,  increased  legal fees related to  litigation  and
arbitration  proceedings,   increased  patent  filing  and  defense  costs,  and
increased  ONCASPAR marketing and distribution costs contributed to the increase
in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Other  income/expense.  Other  income/expense  was  $1,042,000,  as  compared to
$923,000  for  the  same  period  in the  prior  year.  The  increase  in  other
income/expense  is attributable an increase in interest income as a result of an
increase in interest bearing investments.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total cash reserves,  including cash and cash equivalents,  as of March 31, 2000
were $126,555,000,  as compared to $24,674,000 as of June 30, 1999. The increase
in total cash  reserves was due to our public  offering of  2,300,000  shares of
Common Stock in March 2000 at a gross  offering  price of $44.50 per share.  The
offering  resulted in net proceeds of approximately  $95,670,000.  We invest our
excess cash in a portfolio of high-grade  marketable  debt securities and United
States government-backed securities.

To date,  our sources of cash have been the proceeds  from the sale of our stock
through  public  offerings  and private  placements,  sales of ADAGEN,  sales of
ONCASPAR,  sales of our products for research  purposes,  contract  research and
development fees, technology transfer and license fees and royalty advances. Our
current sources of liquidity are cash,  cash  equivalents and interest earned on
such cash reserves,  sales of ADAGEN,  sales of ONCASPAR,  sales of our products
for research purposes and license fees.

Under  our  amended  license  agreement  with RPR,  we  received  a  payment  of
$3,500,000 in advance royalties in January 1995. Royalties due under the amended
license agreement will be offset against an original credit of $5,970,000, which
represents the royalty  advance plus  reimbursement  of certain  amounts due RPR
under the original agreement and interest expense,  before cash payments will be
made under the agreement. The royalty advance is shown as a long-term liability.
The corresponding current portion of the advance is included in accrued expenses
on the consolidated  balance sheets. We will reduce the advance as royalties are
recognized  under  the  agreement.  Through  March 31,  2000,  an  aggregate  of
$4,369,000  in  royalties  payable by RPR has been offset  against the  original
credit.

As of  March  31,  2000,  we had  27,000  shares  of  Series A  Preferred  Stock
outstanding.  These preferred shares are convertible into  approximately  61,364
shares of common stock.  Dividends accrue on the remaining outstanding shares of
Series A Preferred  Stock at a rate of $54,000 per year.  As of March 31,  2000,
there were  accrued  and unpaid  dividends  totaling  $541,000  on the shares of
Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.  We have the option to pay these dividends
in either cash or common stock.

We are  currently in  discussions  with RPR related to a  disagreement  over the
purchase price of ONCASPAR under the supply agreement.  RPR has asserted that we
have overcharged RPR under the supply agreement in the amount of $2,300,000.  We
believe our costing  and  pricing of  ONCASPAR to RPR  complies  with the supply
agreement.  RPR has also  asserted  that we should be  responsible  for its lost
profits  while  ONCASPAR  is  under  the  temporary  labeling  and  distribution
modifications  described above. RPR contends that its lost profits through March
31,  2000 were  $6,700,000.  We do not agree with RPR's  claim for over  charges
under the supply  agreement  and lost  profits.  We do not believe the  ultimate
resolution of these  disagreements  with RPR will have a material adverse effect
on our financial position or results of operations.

During April 2000, we agreed to binding arbitration to settle a lawsuit, brought
against us by LBC Capital Resources, Inc. ("LBC") a former financial advisor, in
the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.  The arbitrator
awarded LBC a $6,000,000  judgment.  In its suit LBC claimed that under a May 2,
1995 letter  agreement  between LBC and us, LBC was entitled to a commission  in
connection  with our January and March 1996  private  placements,  comprised  of
$675,000  and  warrants to purchase  1,250,000  shares of our common stock at an
exercise price of $2.50 per share. As a result of the arbitration, we recognized
a net charge to selling,  general and  administrative  expenses of approximately
$2,600,000  during the quarter ended March 31, 2000.  The charge  represents the
net profit and loss effect of the incremental reserves provided specifically for
this  litigation,  offset by the  reduction  during the quarter of $2,900,000 of
other contingency accruals that were deemed to not be required for certain other
contingencies.  During April 2000,  we made a cash payment of $3,500,000 to LBC.
The remaining  $2,500,000 is payable at our option in the form of cash or common
stock by June 30, 2000. At March 31, 2000, the $6,000,000 is included in accrued
expenses on the consolidated condensed balance sheet.

We believe that our existing  cash  resources  should be  sufficient to fund our
capital and operational requirements for the foreseeable future. Upon exhaustion
of our  current  cash  reserves,  our  continued  operations  will depend on our
ability  to  realize  significant  revenues  from  the  commercial  sale  of our
products,  raise  additional  funds through equity or debt financing,  or obtain
significant licensing,  technology transfer or contract research and development
fees.  We cannot make any  assurance  that these  sales,  financings  or revenue
generating activities will be successful.
