NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995
(Unaudited)



1. Description of Company and Basis of Presentation

   CytRx Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the research 
and development of critical care pharmaceutical products intended for use in 
the treatment of vascular and infectious diseases, and cancer.  Reference 
herein to "the Company" includes CytRx and its wholly-owned subsidiaries -- 
Vaxcel, Inc., Vetlife, Inc. and Proceutics, Inc.  Vaxcel is developing the 
Optivax vaccine delivery system.  Vetlife is developing non-antibiotic 
solutions to enhance food animal growth.  Proceutics was recently formed to 
provide high quality preclinical development services to the pharmaceutical 
industry.

   The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at 
September 30, 1995 and for the three and nine month periods ended 
September 30, 1995 and 1994 include the accounts of CytRx and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries.  The condensed consolidated financial statements as of 
September 30, 1995 and for the periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are 
unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring 
entries, which the Company's management believes to be necessary for a fair 
presentation of the periods presented.  Interim results are not necessarily 
indicative of results for a full year.  The financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements in its Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994.

2. Inventories

   Inventories at September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994 are comprised of 
   the following:

                        September 30, 1995   December 31, 1994

   Finished goods             $ 1,956             $ 2,392
   Raw materials                2,797               4,259
                              $ 4,753             $ 6,651

3. Net Loss Per Common Share

   Net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding during each period.  Stock options and warrants 
outstanding are excluded from the computation of net loss per share since 
their effect is antidilutive.

<PAGE>
4. Adoption of FASB Statement No. 115

   In May 1993 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities", effective for fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 1993.  Under the new rules, debt securities that the Company has 
both the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity are carried at 
amortized cost.  Debt securities that the Company does not have the positive 
intent and ability to hold to maturity and all marketable equity securities 
are classfied as either "available-for-sale" or "trading" and carried at fair 
value.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as 
available-for-sale are carried as a separate component of shareholders' 
equity.  Unrealized holding gains and losses on securities classified as 
trading are reported in earnings.  The Company adopted the new rules as of 
January 1, 1994 and, in accordance with the Statement, did not restate prior 
period financial statements.  The cumulative effect of adopting Statement 115 
decreased net loss by $131,329 in the first quarter of 1994.

   During 1995 the Company sold the majority of its short-term investments, 
realizing a net loss of $1,102,621 thereon, and reinvested the proceeds in 
cash equivalents.  As of September 30, 1995, the Company has classified all of
its short-term investments as "held-to-maturity".

5. Patent Costs

   Prior to 1995, the Company capitalized the costs associated with obtaining 
patents on its technologies.  During the first quarter of 1995 the Company 
changed from deferring and amortizing such costs to recording them as expenses 
when incurred because, even though the Company believes the patents and 
underlying technology have continuing value, the amount of future benefits to 
be derived therefrom are uncertain.  Accordingly, the new accounting method 
has been adopted in recognition of a possible change in estimated future 
benefits.  Since the effect of this change in accounting principle is 
inseparable from the effect of the change in accounting estimate, such change 
has been accounted for as a change in estimate in accordance with Opinion 
No. 20 of the Accounting Principles Board. As a result, the Company recorded a 
non-cash write-off of $1,395,476 ($.04 per share) during the first quarter of 
1995.  Future patent costs are expected to be expensed since the benefits to 
be derived therefrom are likely to be uncertain.

6. Termination of RheothRx License Agreement

   In October 1995 Glaxo Wellcome PLC ("GW") informed the Company of its 
decision to cease development of the Company's RheothRx copolymer and its 
intention to terminate its license.  Pursuant to the CytRx's 1990 license 
agreement with GW (then Burroughs Wellcome Co.), the Company has received a 
cumulative total of $9 million to date under the agreement.  In 1993 GW 
completed its obligation to pay initial license fees and milestone payments 
under the agreement.  Subsequent to the termination of its license, GW has no 
further financial obligations to CytRx.  This event had no impact on the 
accompanying financial statements.

<PAGE>
Item 2. -- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 
           RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Financial Condition and Liquidity

At September 30, 1995 the Company had cash and short-term investments of 
$27.1 million and net assets of $31.9 million, compared to $30.8 million and 
$38.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 1994.  Working capital totalled 
$26.4 million at September 30, 1995, compared to $30.7 million at 
December 31, 1994.

On October 23, 1995 Glaxo Wellcome PLC ("GW") informed the Company of its 
decision to cease development of the Company's RheothRx copolymer and its 
intention to terminate its license.  Since May 1994, RheothRx was under 
evaluation in the CORE (Collaborative Organization for RheothRx Evaluation) 
trial, a multi-national Phase II/III study of RheothRx in patients with acute 
myocardial infarction.  The CORE trial was planned to eventually enroll more 
than 9,000 patients.  In July, GW completed patient enrollment in Stage 1 of 
the CORE trial, involving 2,948 patients.  An analysis of Stage 1 by GW 
indicated that RheothRx showed benefit only in certain clinical evaluations 
and were limited to high dose levels associated with unacceptable toxicity.  
Lower dosages of the drug were not associated with any clinical benefit.

Pursuant to CytRx's 1990 license agreement with GW (then Burroughs Wellcome 
Co.), the Company received a cumulative total of $9 million under the 
agreement.  Subsequent to the termination of its license, GW has no further 
financial obligations to CytRx.

On October 30, 1995 CytRx announced that its Board of Directors had authorized
the repurchase of up to 5 million shares of its common stock.  Purchases may 
be made from time to time on the open market or in unsolicited block 
transactions.

Although GW's termination of the RheothRx license agreement has negatively 
impacted CytRx's long-term cash flow potential, management believes that cash 
and short-term investments, combined with income to be generated therefrom, 
will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's working capital needs for the next
several years.  The Company will consider additional sources of funding as 
appropriate and available.


Results of Operations

The following table presents the breakdown of consolidated results of 
operations by operating unit for the three month and nine month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Although the subsequent discussion addresses the
onsolidated results of operations for CytRx and its subsidiaries, management 
believes this presentation by operating unit is important to an understanding 
of the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.  No results are 
shown for Proceutics, Inc. as this subsidiary will not commence formal 
operations until 1996.

Net sales of TiterMax were $102,000 during the three months ended September 30,
1995 compared to $115,000 in 1994 and $354,000 during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995 compared to $411,000 in 1994.  Selling and marketing 
expenses in 1995 increased by $65,000, or 449%, from 1994 for the three months
ended September 30, and decreased by $34,000, or 19%, for the nine months ended
September 30, due to variances in promotional expenditures as well as personnel
resources devoted to the Titermax marketing effort.

Investment income was $474,000 and $1,425,000 during the three months and nine 
months ended September 30, 1995, as compared to $493,000 and $1,400,000 for 
the same periods in 1994.  In 1995 CytRx chose to convert the majority of its 
short-term investments into cash equivalents.  At December 31, 1994 the Company
had $2.5 million in unrealized losses as a result of 1994's dramatic increase 

in interest rates.  By taking advantage of strength in the bond market during 
the second quarter, CytRx reduced its unrealized losses by $1.4 million, 
recording non-cash charges of $1.1 million during the nine months ended 
September 30, 1995.  These charges are shown as a separate line item on the 
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company believes that 
during the period in which these losses were incurred and then recognized 
(February 1994 to June 1995), total investment income, net of realized losses,
exceeded the amount of potential investment income had the Company invested 
in shorter-term securities.  During the first quarter of 1994 the Company 
adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for 
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" (see Note 4 to Condensed 
Consolidated Financial Statements).

Research and development expenditures in 1995 decreased by $36,000, or 2%, from
1994 for the three months ended September 30, and increased by $554,000 or 12%,
for the nine months ended September 30.  These fluctuations are due to the 
nature of work being performed and are difficult to compare from period to 
period.  However, the increase for the nine month period ended September 30 is 
primarily due to costs associated with clinical trials conducted on the 
Company's CRL-1336 compound in early 1995 as well as costs related to the 
hiring of a Vice-President of Research and Development for each of Vaxcel and 
Vetlife.

General, administrative and business development expenses in 1995 decreased by
$16,000, or 2%, from 1994 for the three months ended September 30, and 
increased by $81,000 or 3%, for the nine months ended September 30.  
Contributing to the increase for the nine month period ended September 30 were 
higher expenses for Vetlife, reflecting the hiring of the subsidiary's 
president in July 1994.   Additionally, patent costs in 1995 were expensed, 
versus being capitalized in prior years (See Note 5 to Condensed Consolidated 
Financial Statements).
