                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


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, 1995 included in
     the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.

     The interim financial statements for the first quarter ended March 31,
     1996 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 first quarter
     ended March 31, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
     expected for the year ending December 31, 1996.


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:

     "INVENTORIES"

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
     or net realizable value.  Inventories at March 31, 1996 related primarily
     to the Company's transdermal estrogen delivery system.  To date Noven has
     not experienced and does not anticipate in the future, any difficulty
     acquiring materials necessary to manufacture its transdermal systems.

     "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 primarily 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.

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


     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
     
     Total revenues increased approximately $4,319,000 from approximately
     $1,236,000 for the first quarter ended March 31, 1995 to approximately
     $5,555,000 for the same period in 1996.  This increase in revenues was the
     result of the increase in product sales of the Company's transdermal
     estrogen delivery system to its licensee partners from approximately
     $151,000 in 1995 to $5,172,000 in 1996. No royalties were received or
     recorded during the quarter.  License revenues decreased  83% from
     approximately $640,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to approximately
     $106,000 in the same period in 1996. The Company believes that license
     revenues will fluctuate from period to period depending on contributing
     factors which include, but are not limited to, future success in
     finalizing new collaborative agreements, timely achievement of milestones
     and strategic decisions on self-funding certain projects. Interest income
     decreased 36% from approximately $429,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to
     approximately $276,000 in 1996 primarily due to lower average balances in
     cash, cash equivalents and securities.

     Cost of product sold increased by $2,817,000 from approximately $75,000 in 
     the first quarter of 1995 to approximately $2,892,000 in the same period
     in 1996. The gross margin percentage was 50% in the first quarter of 1995
     and 44% in the same period in 1996. These manufacturing costs and
     attendant gross margins were primarily attributable to expenses incurred
     in the early stages of manufacturing the transdermal estrogen delivery
     systems.

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

     Research and development expenses increased by approximately $277,000 or
     13% from approximately $2,206,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to
     approximately $2,483,000 in the same period in 1996. The increases 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. General and administrative expenses increased
     11% from approximately $723,000 in the first quarter of 1995 to
     approximately $799,000 in 1996 primarily due to increases in staffing and
     associated office 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, interest income and through the sale of product.
     From its inception through March 31, 1996, the Company received net
     proceeds of approximately $56,000,000 from the sale of equity securities,
     approximately $14,000,000 from product sales, approximately $14,000,000
     from license agreements, and approximately $5,000,000 from interest
     income.  At the end of March 31, 1996 the Company had approximately
     $23,000,000 in cash, cash equivalents and securities held to maturity.

     The decrease in cash, cash equivalents, and securities held to maturity of
     $1,484,000 during the first quarter of 1996 reflects the funding of a net  
     loss of approximately $620,000, an increase in inventory of approximately
     $812,000 and an approximate $326,000 investment in property and equipment.
     As of March 31, 1996 the Company had commitments for capital expenditures
     of approximately $97,000.

     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 desire to raise
     additional capital.  There can be no assurance that such capital will be
     available on acceptable terms, or at all.
