SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES OF CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

     During the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, cash paid for 
     interest was $2,721 and $1,019, respectively.  The Company did not 
     pay any income taxes during these periods.














The  accompanying  notes are an integral  part of these unaudited financial
statements.

                                                                    (Concluded)
<PAGE>

                              MACROCHEM CORPORATION
                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1)      As permitted  by the rules of the  Securities  and Exchange  Commission
         (the "Commission")  applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, these
         notes are  condensed  and do not  contain all  disclosures  required by
         generally accepted accounting  principles.  Reference should be made to
         the financial  statements  and related notes  included in the Company's
         Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. 

         In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying financial
         statements  reflect all  adjustments  which were of a normal  recurring
         nature  necessary for a fair  presentation of the Company's  results of
         operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
         1995.

         The results  disclosed in the  Statements of  Operations  for the three
         months  ended  March 31,  1996 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the
         results to be expected for the full year.

(2)      Research and  development  costs are charged to operations as incurred.
         Such costs include proprietary research and development  activities and
         expenses associated with research and development  contracts.  In 1995,
         the Company  changed its definition of research and development to more
         properly  reflect  personnel  efforts  and other  resources  previously
         included in general and  administrative  expenses.  This change had the
         effect of increasing  research and development  expenses and decreasing
         general and administrative expenses from amounts previously reported by
         approximately $45,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1995. 

(3)      In October  1995,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
         Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 123, "Accounting
         for Stock-Based Compensation,"  which  was  effective  for the  Company
         beginning January 1, 1996. SFAS No. 123 requires  expanded  disclosures
         of stock-based compensation  arrangements with employees and encourages
         (but does not require)  compensation  cost to be measured based on fair
         value  of the  equity  instrument  awarded.  Companies  are  permitted,
         however,  to continue to apply APB  Opinion  No. 25,  which  recognizes
         compensation cost based on the intrinsic value of the equity instrument
         awarded.  The Company will  continue to apply APB Opinion No. 25 to its
         stock-based  compensation  awards to  employees  and will  disclose the
         required pro forma effect on net income and earnings per share.

(4)      Effective  January 1, 1996,  the  Company  adopted  SFAS No.  121,
         "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived
         Assets  to be  Disposed  Of."  This  statement  establishes  accounting
         standards for the impairment of long-lived assets, certain identifiable
         intangibles  and  goodwill  related to those assets to be held and used
         and for long-lived  assets and certain  identifiable  intangibles which
         are to be disposed of. The adoption of this  statement had no effect on
         the financial  position,  or results of operations or cash flows of the
         Company.

ITEM 2.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
              -------------------------------------------------
              CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
              ------------------------------------

GENERAL

         MacroChem's  primary business is the development and  commercialization
of  transdermal  drug  delivery  compounds  and systems  designed to promote the
delivery  of  drugs  from the  surface  of the skin  into the skin  tissues  and
bloodstream.  The Company currently derives no significant  revenue from product
sales,  royalties or license fees. The Company plans to develop specific SEPA(R)
formulations for use with proprietary and non-proprietary  drugs manufactured by
pharmaceutical  companies,  and to  commercialize  these  products  through  the
formation of partnerships, strategic alliances and license agreements with those
companies.  In order to attract  strategic  partners,  the Company is conducting
limited clinical testing of certain SEPA-enhanced drugs.

         The Company's  results of operations  vary  significantly  from year to
year and quarter to quarter,  and depend, among other factors, on the signing of
new  licenses  and  product  development  agreements,  the  timing  of  revenues
recognized  pursuant to license  agreements,  the  achievement  of milestones by
licensees  and the progress of clinical  trials  conducted by licensees  and the
Company.  The timing of the  Company's  revenues may not match the timing of the
Company's  associated  product  development  expenses.  To  date,  research  and
development  expenses have generally  exceeded revenue in any particular  period
and/or fiscal year.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Quarter ended March 31, 1996 compared to quarter ended March 31, 1995:

         During the quarter ended March 31, 1996, the Company had no revenues as
compared to $15,000  revenues for the first  quarter of 1995.  The 1995 revenues
were from a completed feasibility study.

         Marketing,  general and  administrative  expenses in the quarter  ended
March 31, 1996 increased  approximately  $68,000 (18%) over the comparable  1995
period due  primarily to increased  investment  banking fees,  increased  public
relations fees, and increased costs of liability insurance.

         Research   and   development   costs  in  the  1996  period   increased
approximately  $171,000 (90%) over the  comparable  1995 period due to increased
efforts to test and evaluate the Company's potential products. The Company hired
a  Director  of  Research  and  Development,  increased  clinical  investigation
efforts,  and hired  technical  consultants  to assist in evaluating and testing
these potential products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Since  inception,  the  primary  source of  funding  for the  Company's
operations  has been the  private and public  sale of its  securities,  and to a
lesser  extent,  the  licensing  of its  proprietary  technology  and  products,
government grants and limited sales of products and test materials.

         As of March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of  approximately
$8,626,000  compared to $4,533,000 at December 31, 1995. The increase in working
capital  during the quarter  ended March 31,  1996  results  from the receipt of
$4,880,000 from the issuance of common stock.

         The  Company  must  rely  on  equity   financing  to  fund  operations,
development costs, and to obtain regulatory  approvals and the manufacturing and
marketing of its products.

         Until such time as the  Company  obtains  agreements  with third  party
licensees or partners to provide funding for the Company's  anticipated business
activities, or the Company is able to obtain funds through the private or public
sale of its securities, the Company's working capital is expected to decline.

         The Company's long term capital  expenditure  requirements  will depend
upon  numerous  factors  including  the progress of the  Company's  research and
development  programs,  the resources  that the Company  devotes to  self-funded
early clinical testing of  SEPA-enhanced  compounds,  proprietary  manufacturing
methods and advanced technologies, and the ability of the Company to manufacture
products under those agreements, and the demand for its products or the products
of its  licensees  or  strategic  partners,  if and  when  approved  for sale by
regulatory  authorities.  In any  event,  substantial  additional  funds will be
required before the Company is able to generate  revenues  sufficient to support
its  operations.  There is no assurance  that the Company will be able to obtain
such additional  funds,  or obtain them on terms  favorable to the Company.  The
Company's  inability to raise sufficient funds could require it to delay,  scale
back or eliminate certain research and development programs.

         The   Company   anticipates    additional   capital   expenditures   of
approximately  $71,000  during the remainder of the fiscal year ending  December
31, 1996.

         The Company  believes that its existing cash and cash  equivalents  and
marketable  securities will be sufficient to meet its current operating expenses
and capital  expenditures  requirements for a period of at least the next twelve
months.
