                         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 nine months and the three months
      ended September 30, 1995 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 nine months and three months ended September 30, 1995 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

      The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies
      consistently applied in the preparation of Noven's financial statements:

      "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.  A significant portion of revenues in 1995 is attributable
      to the purchase by the Company's licensee partners of transdermal
      estrogen delivery systems in anticipation of that product's commercial
      launch.

      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.

      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.

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


      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The Company's revenues increased approximately $2,206,000 or 196% for the
      three month period ended September 30, 1995 from the same period in the
      prior year and increased approximately $3,365,000 or 104% for the
      comparable nine month period. The increase in revenue during the third
      quarter and first nine months of 1995 was primarily a result of increased
      product sales of the Company's transdermal estrogen delivery system to
      its licensee partners.  The increase in revenues for the first nine
      months of 1995 was also attributable to increased interest income from
      the investment of the proceeds of the June 1994 offering of common stock.

      Cost of products sold were approximately $1,391,000 for the three month
      period ended September 30, 1995 and $1,991,000 for the nine months ended
      September 30, 1995. The gross margin percentage was 45% for the three and
      nine month periods ended September 30, 1995.  These  manufacturing costs
      and attendant gross margins are primarily attributable to expenses
      incurred in the early stages of manufacturing the transdermal estrogen
      delivery system.

      Research and development expenses increased approximately $1,170,000 or
      68% for the three month period ended September 30, 1995 from the same
      period in the prior year and increased approximately $3,213,000 or 69%
      for the comparable nine month period.  The increase in research and
      development expenses were attributable to new product development,
      validation of the manufacturing process, preproduction start-up expense
      and the hiring of additional staff for new and existing programs. New
      product development included products such as the transoral dental
      anesthetic system and the transdermal estrogen/progestogen combination
      delivery system. Preproduction start-up includes the costs associated
      with staffing and operating the Company's commercial manufacturing
      facilities, obtaining regulatory approvals and preparing for product
      commercialization.  The increase in general and administrative expenses
      of approximately $113,000 or 16% for the third quarter from the same
      period last year and $286,000 or 14% for the comparable nine month period
      was primarily due to increases in staffing and recruitment expenses.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      The Company has historically 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, interest income and during the
      current  year through the sale of product.  From its inception through
      September 30, 1995, the Company  received net proceeds of approximately
      $56,000,000 from the sale of equity securities, approximately $14,000,000
      from license agreements, approximately $4,000,000 from interest income
      and approximately $4,000,000 from product sales.  At the end of September
      30, 1995 the Company had approximately $26,000,000 in cash and securities
      held to maturity.

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


      During the first nine months of 1995, the Company utilized approximately
      $7,900,000 of its cash resources to fund research and operating
      activities and $1,700,000 to fund investing activities, primarily
      the purchase of property and equipment.  As of September 30, 1995 the
      Company had commitments for capital expenditures of approximately
      $20,000.

      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.

      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.
