                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The financial statements of Noven Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company"),
      included herein, do not include all footnote disclosures normally
      included in annual financial statements and, therefore, should be read in
      conjunction with the Company's financial statements and notes thereto for
      each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1994 included in
      the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

      The interim financial statements for the three months ended March 31,
      1995 and 1994 are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect
      all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary
      for fair presentation of the balance sheets, statements of operations and
      cash flows of the Company.  The statements of operations for the three
      months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994 are not necessarily indicative of
      the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1995. Certain
      amounts in the 1995 and 1994 financial statements have been reclassified
      for comparative purposes.



2.    SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
      the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      "PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT"

      Property and equipment is recorded at cost.  Depreciation is provided
      over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Leasehold improvements
      are amortized over the life of the lease or the service life of the
      improvements, whichever is shorter.  The straight-line method of
      depreciation is followed for financial purposes.

      "PATENT DEVELOPMENT COSTS"

      Costs, principally legal fees related to the development of patents are
      capitalized and amortized over the lesser of their estimated economic
      useful lives or their remaining legal lives.

      "LOSS PER SHARE"

      Loss per share is based on the weighted average number of shares
      outstanding during the period.

      ITEM 2.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


      GENERAL  

      Since it commenced operations in 1987, the Company has been engaged
      primarily in the research and development of transdermal drug delivery 
      systems.  The Company's revenues have been generated principally by 
      license fees, milestone payments pursuant to various license agreements 
      and interest.  The Company anticipates that a significant portion of its 
      revenues in 1995 will be attributable to the launch of its first 
      commercial product, a transdermal estrogen delivery system.

      To date, the Company's product development efforts have been undertaken
      independently and pursuant to license agreements with Rhone-Poulenc 
      Rorer, Inc. and/or its affiliates ("RPR") and Ciba-Geigy Corporation 
      ("Ciba-Geigy").  Under these agreements a license fee was paid upon 
      execution.  All of the agreements provide for the payments of monthly 
      development fees or cost reimbursements for product development and/or 
      milestone payments upon achieving certain technical and regulatory goals.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)

The Company's results of operations vary significantly from quarter to
quarter and depend, among other factors, on the execution of new product
development agreements, the timing of fees and milestone payments made by its
licensees, the progress of clinical trials conducted by the Company and/or its
licensees and costs associated with the development of the Company's products. 
The timing of the Company's license revenue may not match the timing of the
Company's associated product development expenses for any particular period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company's revenues increased approximately $287,000 or 30% for the three 
month period ended March 31, 1995 from the same period in the prior year.  The
increase in revenue during the first quarter of 1995 was primarily a result of 
increased interest income from the investment of the proceeds of the June 1994 
offering of common stock.

Research and development expenses increased approximately $893,000 or 68% for 
the three month period ended March 31, 1995 from the same period in the prior 
year.  The increase in research and development expenses were attributable to 
the Company's move into the early stages of manufacturing its first product, a 
transdermal estrogen delivery system.  These expenses included the costs of 
production at its existing manufacturing facility as well as the preproduction
costs of training personnel and validating equipment and the new manufacturing
facility.  The increase in research and development expenses was also 
attributable to research activities related to new products such as the
transoral dental anesthetic system and the transdermal estrogen/progestogen
combination delivery system.  The increase in general and administrative
expenses of approximately $46,000 or 7% was primarily due to increases in
staffing and recruitment expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations through public offerings of common 
stock, including the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the first 
such offering, private placements of its equity securities, license and 
Contract revenues and interest income.  From its inception through March 31, 
1995, the Company  received net proceeds of approximately $56,000,000 from the
sale of equity securities, approximately $12,500,000 from license agreements and
approximately $3,500,000 from interest income.  At the end of March 31, 1995 the
Company had approximately $32,000,000 in cash and securities held to maturity.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company utilized approximately $2,700,000
of its cash resources to fund research and operating activities and $600,000 to
fund investing activities, primarily the purchase of property and equipment.  
As of March 31, 1995  the Company had commitments for capital expenditures of 
approximately $200,000.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  (CONTINUED)

The Company's future capital requirements depend upon numerous factors,
including (i) the progress of its product development programs, (ii) the time
required to obtain government regulatory approvals of products in development, 
(iii) the resources that the Company devotes to the development of self-funded 
products, proprietary manufacturing methods, advanced technologies and a 
marketing and sales administration infrastructure, (iv) the ability of the 
Company to obtain additional license agreements and to manufacture products
pursuant to those agreements and (v) the demand for its products, if and when
approved by regulatory authorities.

The Company expects to incur additional costs related to product development 
activities, increased general and administrative expenses and the completion of
its manufacturing facilities.  Although the Company believes that existing 
cash, securities held to maturity, anticipated contract and manufacturing 
revenues will be adequate for the foreseeable future, circumstances could arise
which may result in a need to raise additional capital.  There can be no 
assurance that such capital will be available on acceptable terms, or at all.
