                                MARCH 31, 1998



1. ORGANIZATION AND PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

   ORGANIZATION

   Gensia Sicor Inc., formerly known as Gensia, Inc. ("Gensia Sicor" or the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, was incorporated November 17, 1986.  On
February 28, 1997, Gensia Sicor completed the acquisition of Rakepoll Holding
B.V. ("Rakepoll Holding") from Rakepoll Finance N.V. ("Rakepoll Finance").
Rakepoll Holding is the parent company of three specialty pharmaceutical
businesses: SICOR-Societa Italiana Corticosteroidi S.p.A. ("Sicor") of Milan,
Italy, and two companies located in Mexico:  Lemery, S.A. de C.V. ("Lemery") and
Sicor de Mexico, S.A de C.V. ("Sicor de Mexico").  In addition, in December
1997, Sicor purchased a 50% equity interest in Diaspa S.p.A. ("Diaspa"), an
Italian company engaged in the manufacture of certain raw materials used in
Sicor's business.  Also in December 1997, as part of the Gensia Sicor
restructuring, the Company completed the transfer of its licensed and
proprietary medical products into Gensia Automedics, Inc. ("Automedics") in
exchange for certain milestone and other contingent payments.  Subsequently,
Automedics sold an equity interest representing approximately 81% of Automedics
to private investors.   Gensia Sicor is a specialty pharmaceutical company
focused on the development, manufacture and marketing of products for worldwide
oncology and injectable pharmaceutical markets.  The company is headquartered in
Irvine, California.

  PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

  The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its subsidiary companies, all of which are wholly owned, except for Diaspa,
which is 50% owned, and  Metabasis Therapeutics, Inc ("Metabasis"), which is 92%
owned.  The five wholly-owned subsidiaries are as follows:  Rakepoll Holding
B.V., Gensia Sicor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (formerly Gensia Laboratories, Ltd. and
herein referred to as "Gensia Sicor Pharmaceuticals"), Aramed, Inc., Gensia
Development Corporation and Genchem Pharma Ltd.  All significant intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated.  The accompanying consolidated
balance sheets at March 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 include the assets,
liabilities and stockholders' equity of the combined companies.  The
consolidated statement of operations and statement of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 include the results for one month for Rakepoll
Holding from February 28, 1997 (the date of acquisition).  Minority interest
represents minority shareholders' proportionate share of the equity in the
Company's consolidated subsidiaries, Diaspa and Metabasis.

  In March 1998, Genchem Pharma acquired a research and development branch
("Genchem Vacallo") in Vacallo, Switzerland for $1.9 million.  For financial
reporting purposes, the acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method
and the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified assets
and liabilities of $1.5 million was recorded as goodwill.  The financial
position and results of operations of the acquired company are not material.  
Pro forma information has been omitted as the amounts are not significant.

  In the opinion of the Company, all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair statement of the results for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 have been made.  The results
of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

  The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in
the Company's 1997 Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                MARCH 31, 1998


  FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

  The financial statements of subsidiaries outside the United States, except
those subsidiaries located in highly inflationary economies, are generally
measured using the local currency as the functional currency.  Assets and
liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the
balance sheet date.  The resulting translation adjustments are included in the
cumulative translation adjustment, a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Income and expense items are translated at average monthly rates of exchange.
The functional currency of Lemery has been the Mexican peso.  In accordance with
SFAS 52, the net assets of Lemery were remeasured to the U.S. dollar during the
second quarter of 1997 as a result of a hyper-inflationary economy in Mexico
and, accordingly, gains and losses from balance sheet translation adjustments
are included in net earnings.  The functional currency of Sicor de Mexico is the
U.S. dollar.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS

    Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the
classifications used in 1998.

2.  NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period.

    In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" ("SFAS 128").  The new Standard is effective for
financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997, and must be
applied retroactively.  SFAS 128 simplifies the standards for computing earnings
per share and requires presentation of two new amounts, basic and diluted
earnings per share.  The Company adopted SFAS 128 in the fourth quarter of 1997
and such adoption has had no effect on the previously reported earnings per
share.  Diluted loss per share including shares issuable upon exercise of
outstanding stock options and warrants has not been presented since the effects
of such conversions and exercises would be anti-dilutive.

3.  COMPREHENSIVE NET INCOME

    As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS
130"). The new Standard established new rules for the reporting and display of
comprehensive income and its components; however, the adoption of this Statement
had no impact on the Company's net income or stockholders' equity. SFAS 130
requires unrealized gains or losses on the Company's available-for-sale
securities and foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to adoption
were reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other
comprehensive income. Prior year financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the requirements of SFAS 130.

5.  CONTINGENCIES

    During 1995, Sicor received claims from certain of its customers in
connection with shipments of a contaminated product. While to the best of
Sicor's knowledge no customer lawsuits have been filed against Sicor with
respect to this matter, Sicor has a reserve of approximately $2.5 million at
March 31, 1998, which represents management's best estimate of attorneys' costs
and other settlement costs. Actual costs to be incurred in relation to the
ultimate settlement may vary from the amount estimated.

    In a lawsuit related to the contaminated product, entitled Pharmacia &
Upjohn Company v. Great Lakes Chemical Corporation in the State of Michigan,
Kalamazoo County Circuit Court, No. E96-188 NZ, Pharmacia & Upjohn, which
supplied Sicor with certain of the contaminated materials and agreed to
indemnify Sicor under certain conditions, has sued Sicor for declaratory relief
regarding their respective duties and rights.

    The Company is also a defendant in various actions, claims, and legal
proceedings arising from its normal business operations.  Management believes
the Company has meritorious defenses and intends to vigorously defend against
all allegations and claims.  As the ultimate outcome of these matters is
uncertain, no contingent liabilities or provisions have been recorded in the
accompanying financial statements for such matters.  However, in management's
opinion, liabilities arising from the matters described in this paragraph, if
any, will not have a material adverse effect on consolidated financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.

6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    In December 1997, Gensia Sicor completed the transfer of its medical
products business, including the GenESA(R) System, to Automedics. As part of the
Automedics divestiture, obligations under the Gensia Clinical Partners, L.P.
(the "Partnership") agreements and the Protocol Systems, Inc. supply agreement
were assigned to Automedics as part of this transaction; however, Gensia Sicor
remains liable for these obligations and has agreed to indemnify Automedics
under certain circumstances.

    Gensia Sicor and Automedics announced on April 27, 1998 that they have
determined not to exercise an option granted by the Partnership to repurchase
the technology associated with the GenESA System (the "Partnership Purchase
Option") and have informed Gensia Development Corporation, the general partner
of the Partnership, of this decision. The decision was based on, among other
things, the lack of market acceptance of the GenESA System since its U.S. market
introduction in October 1997 and its European market introduction in the second
quarter of 1995. Automedics plans to continue to provide technical support for
the GenESA System in the U.S. and Europe through May 31, 1998.

                                MARCH 31, 1998

    Gensia Sicor and Automedics have also informed Protocol Systems, Inc., the
supplier of the GenESA device under a supply agreement which provides for the
purchase of devices through the year 2002, that no additional GenSEA System 
devices will be purchased. The purchase commitment with Protocol Systems, Inc. 
totals approximately $20 million. Discussions are expected to take place 
regarding the termination of the Protocol Supply Agreement. The ultimate 
outcome with respect to these discussions or other developments discussed in 
this footnote could have a material effect on the Company's financial position, 
results of operations or cash flows. However, the Company is unable to estimate 
the impact at this time.

    As a result of the lack of market acceptance of the GenESA System, Gensia
Sicor management has reevaluated the carrying value of the Company's investment
in Automedics and has recorded a write-down during the first quarter of 1998 of 
$1.1 million, which is reflected as a current period write-down of investment.

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

     Gensia Sicor has been unprofitable on an annual basis since its inception
in 1986 and expects to incur additional operating losses at least through the
second quarter of 1998.  For the period from its inception to March 31, 1998,
the Company has incurred a cumulative net loss of $345.3 million.

     When used in this Form 10-Q, the words "expects", "anticipates",
"estimates" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking
statements.  Such statements involve risks and uncertainties, including the
timely development, regulatory approval, and successful marketing of new
products and acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive products,
product costs and pricing, changing market conditions and other risks described
in this Form 10-Q and in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1997.  Actual results may differ materially from those
projected.  These forward-looking statements represent the Company's judgment
only as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q.  The Company disclaims,
however, any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company reported a net loss of $4.9 million, or $.06 per common share
(after dividends on preferred stock of $1.5 million), in the first quarter ended
March 31, 1998 compared to a net loss of $40.3 million, or $.66 per common share
(after dividends on preferred stock of $1.5 million), in the first quarter of
1997. The 1997 first quarter includes the results of Rakepoll Holding from
February 28, 1997, the date of its acquisition, and a $29.2 million write-off of
in-process research and development associated with the acquisition of Rakepoll
Holding.

     Product sales in the first quarter of 1998 increased to $41.3 million from
$19.8 million in the first quarter of 1997.  The increase in product sales is
primarily due to the inclusion of only one month of Rakepoll Holding companies'
sales in the first quarter of 1997 compared to three months of sales in the
first quarter of 1998, and increased sales of certain of Gensia Sicor
Pharmaceuticals' newer multisource injectable products, offset by a decrease in
Laryngeal Mask Airway ("LMA") sales. The Company's distribution agreement with
the Laryngeal Mask Company, Ltd. ended on December 31, 1997.  The Company did
not enter into a new agreement to distribute the LMA products, and thus stopped
selling these products effective December 31, 1997.  Cost of sales for the first
quarter of 1998 was $28.1 million which yielded a gross margin of 32%, compared
to a cost of sales of $16.5 million for the first quarter of 1997 which yielded
a gross margin of 17%. The increase in gross margin is primarily due to improved
margins for certain of Gensia Sicor Pharmaceuticals newer multisource injectable
products and to a decrease in cost of sales for Rakepoll Holding products
resulting from the write-up of inventory associated with the acquisition of
Rakepoll Holding.

     Contract research and license fees in the first quarter of 1998 decreased
to $2.3 million from $2.6 million in the first quarter of 1997.  The decrease is
primarily due to an up-front non-refundable commitment received from Sankyo Co.,
Ltd. under the provisions of a Letter of Intent signed in March 1997.   The
Company continued to receive contract research revenues through its research
collaboration with Pfizer Inc. in the areas of pain and inflammation research.
Metabasis is engaged in discussions with other pharmaceutical companies
concerning collaborations under which these companies would fund a portion of
Metabasis' research and development efforts; however, these discussions are at
an early stage and there is no assurance that any such agreement will be
completed.

     Research and development expenses in the first quarter of 1998 decreased to
$5.2 million from $5.9 million in the 1997 first quarter.  The decrease is
primarily due to the exclusion of Automedics' expenses as a result of the
divestiture of an 81% interest in Automedics in the fourth quarter of 1997
offset by increased expenses by the Rakepoll Holding companies as a result of
only one month of expenses included in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
three months

                                       10

                               GENSIA SICOR INC.


of expenses in the first quarter of 1998. The Company is continuing to pursue
plans to establish Metabasis as an independent company, which if accomplished
would eliminate ongoing expenses from its Metabasis research operation, causing
future research and development expenses to trend downward from current levels.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1998
increased to $9.7 million from $9.1 million in the first quarter of 1997.   The
increase is primarily due to the inclusion of only one month of Rakepoll
Holding's expenses in the first quarter of 1997 compared to three months of
expenses in the first quarter of 1998 offset by a decrease in expenses due to
the exclusion of Automedics' expenses as a result of the Automedics divestiture
in the fourth quarter of 1997.

     The Company had amortization expense of $1.4 million in the first quarter
of 1998 compared to $0.4 million in the first quarter of 1997 primarily due to
the inclusion of only one month of amortization expense in the first quarter of
1997 compared to three months of expenses in the first quarter of 1998 related
to the identified intangibles and goodwill resulting from the acquisition of
Rakepoll Holding.

     The Company had interest and other expenses of $1.7 million in the first
quarter of 1998 compared to interest and other income of $0.6 million in the
first quarter of 1997.  The increase in expenses is due to the inclusion of only
one month of interest expense and foreign currency exchange and translation net
gains of Rakepoll Holding companies in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
three months of interest expense and foreign currency and translation net losses
in the first quarter of 1998.

     As discussed in Note 6, due to, among other things, the lack of market
acceptance of the GenESA System, Gensia Sicor management elected to write-down
the investment value of its 19% interest in Automedics from $1.8 million to $0.7
million, which reflects Gensia Sicor's ownership interest in Automedics' cash on
hand as of March 31, 1998. Accordingly, the difference in investment balance of
$1.1 million has been reflected as a current period charge to write-down of
investment.

     In connection with the Rakepoll Holding acquisition in 1997, the assets and
liabilities of Rakepoll Holding were adjusted to their estimated fair values,
and the Company incurred a one-time $29.2 million write-off related to the value
assigned to the acquired in-process research and development.  This charge is
not deductible for income tax purposes.

     Income tax expense in the first quarter of 1998 was $17,000 compared to
income tax expense of $627,000 in the first quarter of 1997.  The decrease in
income tax expense is primarily attributable to reduced earnings in the foreign
operations for the first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997.

     In the first quarter of 1998, the Company recorded minority interest income
of $0.3 million which represents minority shareholders' proportionate share of
the first quarter loss in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries, Diaspa and
Metabasis.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments of  $21.6 million.

     The Company anticipates that its efforts to reduce overall costs and
expenses and working capital requirements, combined with its current cash on
hand and short-term investments at March 31, 1998 of $21.6 million, and
commitments from third parties, will enable it to maintain its current and
planned operations through at least 1998. In connection with its plans for
expanding its business, to accomplish its core strategy of being a leading 
fully-integrated provider of injectable pharmaceutical products and services,
the Company's management and Board of Directors are evaluating plans to raise



                                       11

                               GENSIA SICOR INC.


required additional capital. The Company will continue to pursue equity, debt
and lease financing, or a combination of these, for its capital needs. In
addition, the Company may seek equity funds to finance Metabasis. Such
financings may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If financing is
not available, the Company may have to reduce planned expenditures, discontinue
certain operations, or otherwise restructure to continue operations.

     Significant changes in operating assets and liabilities during the first
quarter of 1998, excluding the net assets acquired from the Genchem Vacallo
acquisition (see Note 1), included a $6.7 million increase in accounts
receivable, a $1.7 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and
a $1.2 million increase in inventories. Other significant cash flows in the
first quarter of 1998 included $3.8 million net payment for short-term
borrowings and $4.0 million expended on property and equipment.

     The Company made quarterly cash dividend payments of approximately $1.5
million per quarter on its outstanding preferred stock from June 1, 1993 through
March 1, 1995.   Subsequent to March 1995, as a measure to reduce cash outflows,
the Company's Board of Directors suspended quarterly cash dividend payments on
its outstanding preferred stock.  The Company resumed quarterly payment of the
Preferred Stock dividend in September 1996.  At March 31, 1998, the Company had
approximately $7.5 million in undeclared cumulative preferred dividends.  If the
Company chooses to not declare dividends for six cumulative quarters, the
holders of this preferred stock, voting separately as a class, will be entitled
to elect two additional directors until the dividend in arrears has been paid.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

     The Company is currently developing a plan to insure that its systems and
software infrastructure are Year 2000 compliant.  Key financial, information and
operational systems will be assessed and plans will be developed to address
required systems modifications.  Given the size of the Company's systems and the
relative age of the hardware, software and operating systems, management does
not anticipate any significant delays in becoming Year 2000 compliant.  However,
the Company is unable to control whether its current and future partners'
systems are Year 2000 compliant. To the extent that partners would be unable to
order products or pay invoices or suppliers would be unable to manufacture and
ship product, the Company's operations could be affected.  However, management
does not believe that Year 2000 changes will have a material impact on the
Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.
