3.    Strategic Alliance with Elan Corporation plc:
    
      DURING October 1995, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Elan
      Corporation plc ("Elan") which, among other things, provided for Elan to
      reimburse the Company $3 million for certain research and development
      costs incurred prior to December 1995 and for the two parties to form a 
      strategic alliance to develop an oral formulation of a specific  drug. 
      The specific terms and provisions of the strategic alliance are currently
      being finalized.  In connection with the letter of intent, the Company
      entered into a Purchase Agreement with Elan International Services Ltd.,
      an affiliate of Elan.  The terms of the Purchase Agreement provided for
      the Company to sell 600,000 shares of its common stock, and issue 250,000
      warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at $16.25 per
      share, in consideration for $7.5 million.  The warrants contain
      antidilutive provisions, are exercisable upon issuance, and expire on
      October 18, 2000.   


4.    Impact of the Future Adoption of Recently Issue Accounting Standard:
  
      THE Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
      Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation"
      ("FAS 123") in October 1995.   FAS 123 requires companies to estimate the
      fair value of common stock, stock options, or other equity instruments
      ("Equity Instruments") issued to employees using pricing models which take
      into account various factors such as current price of the common stock,
      volatility and expected life of the Equity Instrument.  FAS 123 permits
      companies to either provide pro forma note disclosure or adjust operating
      results for the amortization of the estimated value of the Equity
      Instrument, as compensation expense, over the vesting period of the Equity
      Instrument.  The Company has elected to provide pro forma note disclosure
      which will appear in its financial statements for the year ending July 31,
      1997 and, therefore, there will be no effect on the Company s financial
      position or results of operations.

5.    Adoption of 1995 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan

      ON February 6, 1996, the stockholders of the Company approved the adoption
      of the 1995 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the  1995 Plan ) whereby
      officers and other key executive employees may be granted options which
      entitle the holders to purchase shares of the Company s common stock.  1.8
      million shares of the Company's common stock have been reserved for issuance
      under the 1995 Plan.  The options are awarded by an independent committee
      of the Board of Directors who determine the terms and conditions of stock
      options granted under the plan.  In addition, 1.3 million options
      previously issued to two of the Company s senior executive officers (the
       Officers  Options ) were deemed to have been issued under the 1995 Plan
      upon the 1995 Plan s approval by the Company s stockholders.  As of
      January 31, 1996, all of the Officers  Options were outstanding and
      500,000 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the
      1995 Plan.

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

GENERAL

Emisphere Technologies, Inc. is a drug delivery company engaged in the research
and development of its proprietary technologies with the goal of commercializing
its drug delivery technologies.

Results of Operations:

The Company has since its inception generated significant losses from
operations.  The Company does not expect to achieve sustained profitability for
the foreseeable future. Profitability in the long term will depend on the
Company's ability to attract pharmaceutical companies willing to enter into
agreements with the Company to produce and market their drugs utilizing the
Company's drug delivery technologies.  There can be no assurance that any
pharmaceutical company will be willing to undertake the clinical testing and
other product development activities necessary to develop a marketable product
or enter into an agreement acceptable to the Company or that the agreements, if
entered into, will result in the ultimate profitability of the Company.  The
ability of the Company to reduce its operating losses in the near term will be
dependent upon, among other things, its ability to attract new pharmaceutical
and non-pharmaceutical companies who are willing to provide funding to the
Company for a portion of the Company's research and development with respect to
specific projects.  While the Company is consistently engaged in discussions
with pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical companies, there can be no assurance
that the Company will enter into any additional agreements or that the
agreements will provide research and development revenues to the Company.

Three Months Ended January 31, 1996 vs. Three Months Ended January 31, 1995:

For the three months ended January 31, 1996, the Company recognized $3,033,333
of research and development revenue compared to none for the three months ended
January 31, 1995.  Research and development revenue consisted of the recognition
of payments under the Company s agreements with Elan Corporation plc ( Elan )
and Pasteur Merieux ( Pasteur ).  The recognition of the revenue from the
agreement with Elan was primarily for work Emisphere performed on development of
an oral formulation of Heparin USP prior to entering into the strategic alliance
with Elan. The terms and provisions of the strategic alliance with Elan are
being finalized; it is anticipated that the near term development cost
associated with the project will be funded by Elan and the Company once the
strategic alliance is finalized.  Revenue recognition from Pasteur was a payment
for Emisphere s completion of a defined milestone as called for in its
feasibility agreement with Pasteur.

Total operating expenses for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1996,
decreased by  $5,700, or less than 1%, as compared to the fiscal quarter ended
January 31, 1995.  The details of this decrease are as follows:

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $64,000, or 12%,
in the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1996, as compared to the fiscal quarter
ended January 31, 1995.  This increase is primarily the result of a $50,000
payment to an outside consultant engaged to assist the Company in discussions
and negotiations with pharmaceutical companies.

Research and development costs decreased by approximately $70,000, or 4%, in the
fiscal quarter ended January 31, 1996, as compared to the fiscal quarter ended
January 31, 1995.  The reduced cost is attributable to decreased funding of
outside consultants and universities engaged to conduct studies to help advance
the Company's scientific research efforts and a decrease in usage of laboratory
supplies as a result of a reduction in the number of projects on which the
Company is actively working.  The Company also experienced a decrease in
personnel and related expenses due, in part, to a staff reduction in May 1995.
These lower costs in 1996 were partially offset by an increase in costs related
to the Company's clinical development program for heparin.  The Company believes
that this level of research and development spending will continue for the
foreseeable future and may increase if operations are expanded.

The Company's other income in the quarter ended January 31, 1996 increased by
approximately $141,000, or 152%, as compared to the fiscal quarter ended January
31, 1995.  The increase was primarily due to better returns on the Company's
larger investment portfolio. In addition, the Company realized losses of 
approximately $13,395 on the sale of investment securities during the quarter 
ended January 31, 1995, whereas no losses were incurred during the quarter ended
January 31, 1996. Based on the above factors, the Company s net income for the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996 totaled $1,156,530, as compared to a $2,023,799 
net loss for the 1995 fiscal quarter.  

Six  Months Ended January 31, 1996 vs. Six Months Ended January 31, 1995:

For the six months ended January 31, 1996, the Company recognized $3,033,333 of
research and development revenue compared to none for the six months ended
January 31, 1995.  Research and development revenue consisted of the recognition
of payments under the Company s agreements with Elan and Pasteur.  The
recognition of the revenue from the agreement with Elan was primarily for work
Emisphere performed on development of an oral formulation of Heparin USP prior
to entering into the strategic alliance with Elan.  The details of the strategic
alliance with Elan are being finalized; it is anticipated that the near term
development cost associated with the project will be funded by Elan and the
Company once the strategic alliance is finalized.  Revenue recognition from
Pasteur was a payment for Emisphere s completion of a defined milestone as
called for in its feasibility agreement with Pasteur.

Total operating expenses for the six month period ended January 31, 1996,
increased by approximately $53,000, or 1%, as compared to the six month period
ended January 31, 1995.  The details of this decrease are as follows:

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $126,000, or 11%,
for the six months ended January 31, 1996, as compared to the six months ended
January 31, 1995.  This increase is attributable to an increase in legal and
professional fees incurred in connection with, among other things, the
settlement of a class action lawsuit and the completion of the letter of intent
with Elan.  The Company also made a $50,000 payment to an outside consultant
engaged to assist the company in discussions and negotiations with
pharmaceutical companies.  

Research and development costs decreased by approximately $73,000, or 3%, for
the six months ended January 31, 1996, as compared to the six months ended
January 31, 1995.  This decrease is a result of decreased funding of outside
consultants and universities engaged to conduct studies to help advance the
Company's scientific research efforts and a decrease in usage of laboratory
supplies as a result of a reduction in the number of projects on which the
Company is actively working.  The Company also experienced a decrease in
personnel and related expenses due, in part, to a staff reduction in May 1995.
These lower costs in 1996 were partially offset by an increase in costs related
to the Company's clinical development program for heparin.  The Company believes
that this level of research and development spending will continue for the
foreseeable future and may increase if operations are expanded.

The Company's other income in the six months ended January 31, 1996 increased by
approximately $159,000, or 118%, compared to the six months ended January 31,
1995.  This was primarily the result of a larger investment portfolio and better
returns.  In addition, the Company realized losses of approximately $41,000 on
the sale of investment securities during the six months ended January 31, 1995,
whereas no losses were incurred during the six months ended January 31, 1996. 
Based on the above factors, the Company sustained a net loss for the six months
ended January 31, 1996 of  $782,661, as compared to a net loss of $3,921,979 for
the six months ended January 31, 1995.

Liquidity and Capital RESOURCES

As of January 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of approximately 
$12,266,000 as compared with approximately $5,173,000 at July 31, 1995.  Cash
and cash equivalents and marketable securities were approximately $12,350,000 as
of January 31, 1996, compared to approximately $5,620,000 at July 31, 1995. The
increase in the Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities is
a result of the Company s sale of 600,000 shares of its common stock and 250,000
warrants to Elan for aggregate consideration of $7.5 million.  Each warrant
entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company s common stock for
16.25 per share.  In addition, the Company received from Elan $3 million which
represented reimbursement of costs previously incurred by the Company with
respect to the development of an oral formulation of heparin (the  Product ). 
Elan and the Company are presently finalizing the terms and provisions of a
strategic alliance with respect to the development of the Product. It is
anticipated that subsequent financing needs for the Product's development will
be shared equally by the Company and Elan.

The Company expects to incur substantial research and development expenses
associated with development of the Company's oral drug delivery system.  As the
result of the ongoing research and development efforts of the Company,
management believes that the Company will continue to incur operating losses and
that, potentially, such losses could increase.  The Company expects that cash,
cash equivalents and marketable securities will, under the Company's present
operating assumptions, be adequate to meet its liquidity and capital
requirements at least through the end of the second quarter of fiscal 1998. 
While the Company does not currently foresee any major capital expenditures, the
Company expects to need substantial resources to continue its research and
development efforts. Should circumstances warrant it, the Company would seek
additional funds primarily in the public and private equity markets, and to the
extent necessary and available, through debt financing.  The Company has no firm
agreements with respect to any additional financing and there can be no
assurance that the Company would be able to obtain adequate funds on acceptable
terms.  If adequate funds were not available, the Company would be required to
delay, scale back, or eliminate one or more of its research or development
programs, or obtain funds, if available, through arrangements with collaborative
partners or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain
of its technologies, product candidates, or products that the Company would not 
otherwise relinquish. The Company does not maintain any credit lines with
financial institutions. 

Impact of the Adoption of Recently Issued Accounting Standard:
  
 THE Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("FAS
123") in October 1995.   FAS 123 requires companies to estimate the fair value
of common stock, stock options, or other equity instruments ("Equity
Instruments") issued to employees using pricing models which take into account
various factors such as current price of the common stock, volatility and
expected life of the Equity Instrument.  FAS 123 permits companies to either
provide pro forma note disclosure or adjust operating results for the
amortization of the estimated value of the Equity Instrument, as compensation
expense, over the vesting period of the Equity Instrument.  The Company has
elected to provide pro forma note disclosure which will appear in its financial
statements for the year ending July 31, 1997 and, therefore, there will be no
effect on the Company s financial position or results of operations.
