                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   Three Months Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996

NOTE 1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements of Atrix Laboratories, Inc.
(the  "Company")  have been  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting principles for interim financial statements and with the instructions
to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments  considered  necessary  (which  consist  only  of  normal  recurring
accruals) for a fair presentation have been included. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction  with the audited  financial  statements and notes
thereto for the year ended  December 31,  1996,  filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange Commission in the Company's Annual Report Form on 10-K.

     In  February,   1997,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board  issued
Statement of Financial  Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share" (SFAS
128). SFAS 128 supersedes  existing  generally  accepted  accounting  principles
relative to the calculation of earnings per share, is effective for years ending
after December 15, 1997 and requires  restatement  of all prior period  earnings
per share information upon adoption.  Generally, SFAS 128 requires a calculation
of basic  earnings  per share,  which  takes into  consideration  income  (loss)
available  to common  shareholders  and the  weighted  average of common  shares
outstanding.  SFAS 128 also requires the  calculation of a diluted  earnings per
share,  which takes into effect the impact of all additional  common shares that
would have been outstanding if all dilutive  potential common shares relating to
options,  warrants, and convertible securities had been issued, as long as their
effect is dilutive,  with a related  adjustment  of income  available for common
shareholders,  as appropriate.  SFAS 128 requires dual presentation of basic and
diluted  earnings  per  share on the face of the  statement  of  operations  and
requires a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic earnings
per share computation. The Company does not expect the effect of its adoption of
SFAS 128 to be material.

NOTE 3.  BLOCK DRUG COMPANY AGREEMENT

     On December 17,  1996,  the Company  entered into an agreement  (the "Block
Agreement")  with Block  Drug  Company  ("Block").  Under the terms of the Block
Agreement,  Block  acquired the North  American and certain  European  marketing
rights to the Company's  first three  products for the treatment of  periodontal
disease.  The Company  received an advance payment of $7,000,000 for the sale of
the marketing rights to the ATRISORB(R) GTR Barrier. The funds were deposited in
an escrow account until February 1, 1997, at which time substantially all of the
initial services required by the Block agreement were performed.  The $7,000,000
was initially  included in restricted  cash  equivalents as of December 31, 1996
and was  recognized  as sale of marketing  rights  during the three months ended
March 31, 1997.

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

     The statements  contained in this report,  if not  historical,  are forward
looking  statements  within the  meaning of the  Private  Securities  Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, and involve risks and uncertainties  that could cause actual
results  to differ  materially  from the  financial  results  described  in such
forward looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, among others,
whether the Company  will  receive  regulatory  approval to market any  products
besides  the  ATRISORB(R)  Barrier  product,  the  results of current and future
clinical  trials,  the time,  costs and expenses  associated with the regulatory
approval process for products.  The success of the Company's business operations
is in turn  dependent  on factors  such as the  effectiveness  of the  Company's
marketing  strategies  to  market  its  current  and any  future  products,  the
Company's  ability to manufacture  products on a commercial scale, the appeal of
the  Company's  mix of  products,  the  Company's  success at entering  into and
collaborating  with others to conduct  effective  strategic  alliances and joint
ventures,  general  competitive  conditions  within the  biotechnology  and drug
delivery industry and general economic conditions.  Further, any forward looking
statement  or  statements  speak only as of the date on which such  statement or
statements  were made,  and the Company  undertakes  no obligation to update any
forward looking statement or statements to reflect events or circumstances after
the  date  on  which  such  statement  is  made  or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events. Therefore, forward looking statements should not be relied
upon as a prediction of actual future results.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO
     THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

     Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1997 were approximately
$7,807,000  compared to approximately  $352,000 for the three months ended March
31, 1996. The increase in total revenue was primarily due to the receipt for the
sale of  marketing  rights to the  ATRISORB(R)  GTR Barrier.  In  addition,  the
Company had increases in sales, contract revenue and interest income.

     The Company had sales of  approximately  $210,000  during the three  months
ended March 31, 1997  compared to sales of  approximately  $59,000 for the three
months  ended March 31,  1996,  representing  a 256%  increase.  The increase is
primarily due to the commencement of sales of the ATRISORB(R) GTR Barrier in the
United States during the second quarter of 1996.

     Contract  revenue  represents  revenue the Company received from grants and
from unaffiliated third parties for performing contract research and development
activities  utilizing the ATRIGEL(R) system, and was approximately  $151,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997,  compared to  approximately  $120,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996, representing a 26% increase.

     Interest   income  for  the  three  months   ended  March  31,  1997,   was
approximately  $438,000 compared to approximately  $150,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996,  representing a 192% increase.  Interest income  increased
due to  additions in principal  investments  as a result of the proceeds  from a
common stock  offering  completed in the second  quarter 1996 and the $7,000,000
payment  received  under the Block  Agreement.  The  majority  of the funds were
invested in U.S. government bond funds, long-term U.S. government and government
agency  investments.  The remaining cash and cash  equivalents  were invested in
interest bearing accounts to fund the Company's short-term operations.

     Cost of goods sold  recorded  for the three months ended March 31, 1997 was
approximately  $139,000  compared to approximately  $41,000 for the period ended
March 31, 1996,  representing a 239% increase.  The increase is primarily due to
the  commencement  of sales of the  ATRISORB(R) GTR Barrier in the United States
during the second quarter of 1996.

     Research  and  development  expenses -  ATRIDOX(TM)  product  for the three
months  ended  March  31,  1997,  were  approximately   $1,468,000  compared  to
approximately $1,369,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, representing
a 7% increase.  This increase is primarily a result of the initiation of several
new research projects during the quarter.

                                       8
<PAGE>

     Other research and development expenses,  which included activities for the
ATRISORB(R)  Barrier and other  research  activities  for the three months ended
March  31,  1997,  were  approximately   $1,310,000  compared  to  approximately
$1,104,000  for the three  months  ended  March  31,  1996,  representing  a 19%
increase. The increase was primarily a result of additional  expenditures in the
Manufacturing and Quality  Assurance/Quality Control departments associated with
the  commencement of sales and increased  quality  assurance and quality control
efforts.

     Administrative and marketing  expenses decreased to approximately  $555,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1997, from  approximately  $589,000 for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1996,  representing  a 6%  decrease.  The primary
reason for this decrease was the decrease in sales and marketing  expenses which
was a result of the Company  eliminating the majority of its marketing personnel
and promotional expenses which will be performed by Block.

     The Company recorded net income of  approximately  $4,336,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997, compared to a net loss of approximately  $2,750,000
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, representing a 258% increase. The net
income was primarily the result of the receipt of the payment of $7,000,000 from
Block.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     As of March  31,  1997,  the  Company  had cash  and  cash  equivalents  of
approximately $19,851,000, marketable securities of approximately $7,966,000 and
other current assets of  approximately  $1,844,000,  for total current assets of
approximately $29,660,000. Current liabilities totaled approximately $1,110,000,
which resulted in working capital of approximately $28,550,000.

     During the three  months  ended  March 31,  1997,  net cash from  operating
activities was approximately  $4,038,000  compared to net cash used in operating
activities  of  approximately  $2,804,000  for the three  months ended March 31,
1996.  This  was  primarily  a  result  of  the  net  gain  for  the  period  of
approximately $4,336,000, adjusted for certain non-cash expenses, and changes in
other  operating  assets and  liabilities  as set forth in the statement of cash
flows.

     Net cash used in investing  activities was approximately  $2,563,000 during
the three months ended March 31, 1997,  primarily as a result of the  investment
in additional marketable securities during the quarter. This was reduced by cash
used for the  acquisition  of  capital  equipment  and  leasehold  improvements,
investments in intangible assets, and investments in marketable securities.

     The Company's  long-term  capital  expenditure  requirements will depend on
numerous  factors,   including  the  progress  of  the  Company's  research  and
development programs,  the time required to file and process regulatory approval
applications,   the  development  of  the  Company's  commercial   manufacturing
facilities,   the  ability  of  the  Company  to  obtain  additional   licensing
arrangements,  and the demand for the Company's products,  if and when approved.
The  Company  expended  approximately  $425,000  for  property,   equipment  and
leasehold

                                       9
<PAGE>

improvements,  and  approximately  $57,000 for patent  development  in the three
month  period  ending  March 31, 1997  compared to  approximately  $144,000  and
$40,000,  respectively  for the three months  ended March 31, 1996.  The Company
expects its capital expenditures to total approximately  $1,800,000 for the year
ended  December  31,  1997,  which  will  be  used  primarily  to  complete  its
manufacturing facility.

     The  Company  expects  sales and  marketing  expenses to decrease in future
periods as a result of eliminating  the majority of its marketing  personnel and
promotional  expenses,  which functions are now performed by Block. In addition,
the Company  expects  revenue to increase in future periods upon the achievement
of certain milestones and the receipt of royalties on sales of its products.
