NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by
Advanced Tobacco Products, Inc., dba Advanced Therapeutic Products, Inc.
(the "Company")  without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  However, all adjustments have been
made to the accompanying financial statements which are, in the opinion of
the Company's management, necessary for the fair presentation of the
Company's results of operations for the period covered.  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 are adequate to make the
information presented herein not misleading.  These condensed financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and
notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of June
30, 1998.


Item 2:        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operation


                          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   In 1987, the Company sold patented nicotine technology, which forms the
basis of the Nicorette /Nicotrol  Inhaler, to what is now known asPharmacia
& Upjohn, Inc. ("P&U") in exchange for product payments.  Productpayments
from the non U.S. sales of the Nicorette  Inhaler are 3% of P&U'snet sales to
pharmacy distributors.  Product payments from the sales of the Nicotrol
Inhaler in the U.S. are 9.9% of P&U's net sales to McNeilConsumer Products
Company ("McNeil"), a Johnson & Johnson Company, which markets the Nicotrol
Inhaler to pharmacies as a prescription product.

    Product payments are payable on a country by country basis for the
greater of 10 years following the date of the first commercial sale or
theexpiration of all issued patents enforceable in such countries.  If the
netsales to pharmacy distributors cannot be obtained or is not disclosed,
asis the case with regard to McNeil, net sales are determined by
multiplyingthe net sales of P&U to McNeil by 3.3 (in effect, 9.9% of P&U's
sales toMcNeil).  There are product payment limitations in the event of the
sale ofa nicotine vapor product competitive with the Nicorette /Nicotrol
Inhaler. Product payments in excess of $1,000,000 per year ($333,000 in
respect ofEurope and $667,000 in respect of the rest of the world) are to be
reducedby fifty percent (50%) until the aggregate of such reductions equal
the sum of $4,400,000.

    McNeil launched the Nicotrol  Inhaler nationwide in the U.S. as a
prescription product in September 1998 (the U.S. is approximately 50% ofthe
worldwide nicotine replacement therapy ("NRT") market).  P&U has also
introduced the Nicorette  Inhaler, primarily as an over-the-counter  product,
in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Ireland, Norway, Sweden,  Denmark, Italy,
Austria, The Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Iceland,Gibralter and Hong Kong.
The Company understands that additional countrylaunches are planned by P&U to
occur as regulatory approvals are granted.

    The Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler is the first and only form of NRT
designedto help control a smoker's cravings for cigarettes while providing a
key behavioral component of smoking--the hand-to-mouth ritual.  The Inhaler
consists of a mouthpiece and a cartridge containing nicotine.  The user
puffs on the mouthpiece to inhale the nicotine which is then absorbed through
the lining of the mouth.

    In September 1992, the Company obtained an exclusive worldwide license to
certain dry powder nicotine inhaler technology from Duke University. The
Company has obtained patents covering this technology.  The Company  believes
that a dry powder nicotine inhaler has the potential to be a  future
generation NRT. The Company is continuing to seek a strategic partner to
develop this technology.

    Effective as of October 1993, the Company has an agreement with P&U under
which, among other matters, the Company has the right to receive a royalty
equal to .1% of net revenues received by P&U from the sale of any product
using a nicotine impermeable copolymer technology.  Under the terms of the
agreement, the Company now receives royalties from the sales of the
Nicorette/Nicotrol  patch by P&U.

    The Company's operations include no material dependence on any
computeroperations or on the preparation for year 2000 of any computer
operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Cash resources, including investments, available on June 30, 1999, were
approximately $1,930,000, as compared to approximately $1,520,000 as of June
30, 1998.

COMPARISON OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA

    Operating revenues for the nine month period ending June 30, 1999,
increased to $858,431, as compared to $495,944 for the nine month period
ending June 30, 1998.  This increase is due to an increase in product
payments from P&U as the Nicorette /Nicotrol  Inhaler continues to be
launched worldwide.

    Interest income for the nine month period ending June 30, 1999, increased
to $70,089, as compared to $57,651 for the nine month period ending June 30,
1998.  This increase is primarily due to an increase in cash resources
available to the Company.

    Net income for the nine month period ending June 30, 1999, increased to
$812,416, as compared to $472,499 for the nine month period ending June 30,
1998.  This increase is due to an increase in product payments from P&U as
the Nicotrol/Nicorette Inhaler continues to be launched worldwide.

    General and administrative expenses for the nine month period ending June
30, 1999, increased to $116,104, as compared to $81,096 for the nine month
period ending June 30, 1998.  This increase is primarily due to
administrative costs associated with issuing a dividend of $.07 per share of
common stock on January 6, 1999.

    Accumulated deficit decreased $245,966 from September 30,1998, to June
30, 1999.  The decrease was due to net income for the nine month period ended
June 30, 1999, of $812,416 which was partially offset by the payment of
dividends of $566,450.
