SOMATOGEN, INC.
(A Corporation in the Development Stage)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
(Unaudited)


Note 1--STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING PRESENTATION

      In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited 
consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting 
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly state the 
Company's consolidated financial position as of March 31, 1996 and the 
consolidated results of operations and of cash flows for the 
three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, and for the
period from July 10, 1985 (inception) to March 31, 1996.  The 
accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in 
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements June 30, 1995.
The information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
as of June 30, 1995, has been derived from the audited consolidated 
balance sheet included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended June 30, 1995.

      Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year.

Note 2--CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

      The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original 
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash 
equivalents.  The carrying values of the Company's cash equivalents and 
short-term investments approximate their market values based on quoted 
market prices.  All cash equivalents and short term investments 
are expected to be held to maturity.

Note 3--STRATEGIC ALLIANCE AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ARRANGEMENT

        In June 1994, the Company entered into a global strategic 
alliance with Eli Lilly and Company ("Lilly") whereby Lilly will co-
develop Somatogen's lead human hemoglobin product, Optro, (the "Lilly 
Alliance") and in September 1995, Somatogen and Lilly agreed to amend 
certain terms of the Lilly Alliance.  Under the terms of the 
Lilly Alliance, Lilly is responsible for establishing manufacturing 
facilities to supply Optro for Phase III clinical trials and for 
global commercialization.  In North America, the Company's expanded  
Phase II and Phase III trials for Optro will be performed in 
conjunction with Lilly's clinical and research groups, and Lilly and 
Somatogen will co-promote the product, splitting the development costs 
and sharing equally in the profits.  Outside of North America, except 
in Scandinavia, Lilly will be responsible for clinical development of 
Optro and related costs, and will have exclusive marketing rights.  
Lilly will pay Somatogen a royalty on Optro sales outside North 
America.  Lilly has invested $30,000,000 in exchange for Somatogen 
common stock, including a $2,000,000 milestone equity investment in 
Somatogen made on September 18, 1995, as a result of Somatogen's 
completion of enrollment in its early Phase II clinical trials and a 
$7,000,000 equity investment made on October 27, 1995 in conjunction 
with Somatogen's October 18, 1995 public common stock offering.  The 
September 1995 amendment to the Lilly Alliance accelerated $7,000,000 of 
the $10,000,000 equity investment which Lilly would have made in March 
1996 if it determined at such time to proceed with the clinical 
development and commercialization of Optro.  In addition, the 
amendment eliminated the March 1996 determination date and combined all 
remaining milestone equity investments into a single $7,000,000 
milestone equity investment to be made if the joint Somatogen-Lilly 
steering committee for the alliance determines that certain conditions 
have been met.  The amendment also modified the termination provisions 
of the alliance, which provide for payment of certain financial 
consideration by Lilly to Somatogen in the event that the alliance is 
terminated under certain circumstances.  Pharmacia AB has the marketing 
rights to Optro in Scandinavia under its 1991 agreement with 
Somatogen.

SOMATOGEN, INC.


        In accordance with the terms of the Lilly Alliance, Somatogen 
and Lilly share certain clinical development costs and, pursuant to the 
September 1995 amendment, effective January 1, 1996 Somatogen and Lilly 
began to share certain process improvement costs.  Expense 
reimbursements from Lilly and payable to Lilly are disclosed as a 
separate component of research and development on the Consolidated 
Statement of Operations.

Note 4.--NET LOSS PER SHARE

        Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number 
of shares of common stock outstanding.  Common equivalent shares from 
stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation as their 
effect is antidilutive.

Note 5.--STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

        On September 18, 1995, in connection with the Company achieving 
a clinical milestone pursuant to the Lilly Alliance, the Company sold to 
Lilly a total of 82,521 shares of common stock at $24.24 per share for 
total proceeds of $2,000,000.  

        On October 18, 1995, the Company sold a total of 1,400,000 
shares of common stock to the public at $18.00 per share.  After 
deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, net proceeds 
from the offering were approximately $23,468,000.  On October 27, 1995, 
Lilly purchased an additional 338,164 shares of common stock at $20.70 
per share resulting in additional proceeds of $7,000,000 to the Company.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        Except for the historical information contained herein, the 
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve 
risks and uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ 
materially from those discussed here.  Factors that could cause or 
contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those 
discussed in this section and those discussed in the Company's 
Registration Statement on Form S-3 dated October 13, 1995 and Form 
10-K for the year ended June 30, 1995.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Revenue

        The Company did not recognize any revenue for the three or 
nine-months ended March 31, 1996 or 1995.

        Operating Expenses

        Total operating expenses increased by 33% to $6,191,000 during 
the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from $4,658,000 for the comparable 
period in the previous fiscal year. For the nine-months ended March 31, 
1996, total operating expenses increased by 2% to $15,644,000 from 
$15,343,000 for the comparable period in the previous fiscal year. 

        Net research and development expense for the quarter ended 
March 31, 1996 increased by 29% to $5,148,000 from $3,654,000 for the
comparable period in the previous fiscal year.  The Company's net 
research and development expense increased by 5% for the nine-month 
period ended March 31, 1996 to $12,615,000 from $12,014,000 for the 
comparable period in fiscal 1995.  

        Excluding Lilly reimbursements, research and development expense
for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 increased by 12% to $5,199,000 
from $4,641,000 for the comparable period in the previous fiscal year 
and for the nine-months ended March 31, 1996, research and development 
expense increased by 3% to $14,559,000 from $14,070,000 for the 
comparable period in the previous fiscal year.  These increases are 
primarily a result of increased product and process development 
expenditures, including preclinical trials.  















<PAGE>  12
SOMATOGEN, INC.


        For the quarter ended March 31, 1996, reimbursements from Lilly 
increased by 57% to $1,548,000 from $987,000 for the comparable period 
in the previous fiscal year.  For the nine-months ended March 31, 1996,
reimbursements from Lilly increased by 98% to $4,081,000 from 
$2,056,000 for the comparable period in the previous fiscal year.  
The increases in reimbursements from Lilly are primarily a result of 
increased reimbursable clinical development expenditures and from the 
September 1995 amendment to the Lilly Alliance which provided that 
certain process development expenditures would be reimbursable 
beginning January 1, 1996. 

        Reimbursements to Lilly aggregated $1,497,000 and $2,137,000 
for the three and nine-months ended March 31, 1996, respectively.  
There were no reimbursements to Lilly in the comparable periods of 
the previous fiscal year.  Reimbursements to Lilly for the quarter 
and nine-months ended March 31, 1996 result from the sharing of 
clinical development costs and from sharing process development 
costs which began January 1, 1996 pursuant to the September 1995 
amendment to the Lilly Alliance.    

        Reimbursements attributable to the Lilly Alliance may vary 
significantly from quarter to quarter.

        General, administrative and marketing expense increased to 
$1,043,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 from $1,004,000 for 
the comparable quarter in the previous fiscal year.  For the nine-month
period ended March 31, 1996, general, administrative and marketing 
expense decreased 9% to $3,029,000 from $3,329,000 for the comparable
period in fiscal 1995.  This decrease is primarily due to non-recurring
expenses incurred in fiscal 1995 related to certain employment agreements.
For the remaining quarter in fiscal 1996, the Company expects general,
administrative and marketing expenses to remain at approximately the 
same levels as those experienced for the quarter ended March 31, 1996.

        Interest Income and Other, Net

        Interest and other income increased to $807,000 for the quarter 
ended March 31, 1996 from $570,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1995 
and to $2,501,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 1996 from 
$1,653,000 for the comparable period in fiscal 1995.  The increase in 
interest and other income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as 
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995 is primarily a result 
of increased investment balances. For the nine-months ended March 31, 
1996 as compared to the comparable period of the prior year, the 
increase is primarily a result of increased investment balances and from 
other income generated by a retroactive adjustment to a research and 
development contract of $235,000 and an insurance settlement resulting 
of $102,000.  Interest expense for the three and nine-months ended 
March 31, 1996 and 1995 was primarily associated with equipment leasing 
arrangements.

SOMATOGEN, INC.


        Net Loss

        The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $5,384,000 
(or $0.26 per share) compared to $4,088,000 (or $0.22 per share) for the 
same period in fiscal 1995.    For the nine-month periods ended 
March 31, 1996 and 1995, the net loss totaled $13,143,000 (or $0.66 
per share) and $13,690,000 (or $0.75 per share), respectively. 


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Somatogen's operations to date have consumed substantial amounts 
of cash.  It is expected that negative cash flow from operations will 
increase during the remainder of fiscal 1996 and in future years when 
compared to the level experienced during the three and nine-month 
periods ended March 31, 1996.  Such increase is expected as 
preclinical and clinical studies of new products are undertaken, as 
clinical trials for Optro increase in scope and as additional product 
and process improvement costs are incurred.  Somatogen will need to 
raise significant additional funds in order to fund the Company's future 
operations and capital expenditures prior to commercialization of the 
Company's products.  The Company has relied primarily on public and 
private offerings of equity and cost sharing and equity investments 
pursuant to the Lilly Alliance to fund its operations and upon equipment 
leasing arrangements to finance the acquisition of capital equipment for 
the Company's laboratory and pilot manufacturing facilities.

        At March 31, 1996 the Company had cash, cash equivalents and 
short-term investments of $59,610,000.  The Company's cash, cash 
equivalents and short-term investments increased approximately 
$21,701,000 during the nine-months ended March 31, 1996.  This increase 
is primarily a result of the proceeds received from the October 1995
public offering of common stock and the Lilly equity investments net of 
the use of cash for operations. 






















<PAGE>  14
SOMATOGEN, INC.


        On October 18, 1995, the Company sold 1,400,000 shares of common 
stock to the public at a price per share of $18.00.  The Company 
received proceeds of approximately $23,468,000 after deducting 
underwriting discounts and offering expenses.  In conjunction with such 
public offering, Lilly made a $7,000,000 equity investment in Somatogen 
on October 27, 1995 purchasing an additional 338,164 shares of common 
stock at a price per share of $20.70.

        Under the terms of its agreement with Somatogen, Lilly has made 
equity investments in Somatogen totaling $30,000,000, which includes the 
$2,000,000 milestone equity investment made in September 1995 as a 
result of Somatogen's completion of enrollment in its early Phase II 
clinical trials and the $7,000,000 equity investment made in October 
1995 in conjunction with Somatogen's public offering.  The amendment 
to the Lilly Alliance accelerated $7,000,000 of the $10,000,000 equity 
investment which Lilly would have otherwise made in March 1996 if it 
determined at such time to proceed with the clinical development and 
commercialization of Optro.  In addition, the amendment eliminates the 
March 1996 determination date and combines all remaining milestone 
equity investments into a single $7,000,000 milestone equity investment 
to be made if the joint Somatogen-Lilly steering committee determines 
that certain conditions have been met.  Lilly will be responsible for 
providing manufacturing facilities to supply Optro for Phase III 
clinical trials and global commercialization thus eliminating the need 
for Somatogen to build commercial scale manufacturing facilities for 
Optro, which the Company estimates would have cost more than 
$150,000,000.

        In September 1992, the Company commenced construction of a 
clinical manufacturing facility.  The Company had also acquired land 
for, and begun the design of, a larger commercial manufacturing 
facility.  In conjunction with entering into the Lilly Alliance, an 
evaluation of the Company's future manufacturing requirements was 
completed and construction of the clinical manufacturing facility was 
discontinued.  During the fourth quarter of fiscal 1994, the Company 
recognized a non-recurring charge, which was principally non-cash, 
associated with the writedown of its clinical and commercial 
manufacturing assets of $29,200,000.  The components of the charge 
included approximately $21,000,000 for the clinical manufacturing 
facility, $6,000,000 for related manufacturing equipment and $2,200,000 
for engineering design costs for the proposed commercial manufacturing 
facility.  














<PAGE>  15
SOMATOGEN, INC.


        Land and building related to manufacturing facilities and the 
related manufacturing equipment aggregating $6,817,000 are classified in 
Somatogen's balance sheet as assets held for sale.  During the nine-
months ended March 31, 1996, the Company realized $595,000 in proceeds 
from the sale of clinical manufacturing assets.  The land purchased for
the commercial facility is financed with an installment note over a term
of four years with a 10% interest rate.  The principal balance due on 
this note as of March 31, 1996 is $401,000.  The Company believes the 
aggregate carrying value of all assets held for sale approximates the
assets' net realizable value; however, the Company continues to monitor
estimated realizable values on a quarterly basis.  There can be no 
assurances that the Company will realize the aggregate carrying value
of assets held for sale.  To the extent that the Company is successful
in selling the land, the installment note will become due.  Proceeds 
from such asset sales are being used for general corporate purposes.

        The Company historically has leased a significant portion of the 
equipment used in its laboratory and pilot manufacturing facilities.  As 
of March 31, 1996, the Company had outstanding capital lease obligations 
of $244,000.  Additionally, the Company had aggregate future operating 
lease obligations of approximately $1,839,000 at March 31, 1996.  The 
Company spent $1,192,000 during the nine-months ended March 31, 1996 for 
the purchase of capital equipment and leasehold improvements.

        The Company's near term operating requirements include increased 
research and development expenditures, including costs related to 
clinical trials and new product development and manufacturing.  The 
Company's capital spending program includes purchases of additional 
equipment for its research and development laboratories and pilot 
manufacturing facility.  In subsequent fiscal years, the Company's 
operating requirements are expected to include continuing increases in 
research and development funding to cover the costs of manufacturing 
process improvements, expanded clinical trials and new product 
development, as well as general, administrative, marketing and 
distribution expenses.

SOMATOGEN, INC.


        In order to meet its long-term financing requirements, the 
Company may pursue a number of financing alternatives, including public 
and/or private offerings of securities and additional strategic 
alliances.  However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be 
able to raise additional financing from any of such sources, or that any 
additional funding which may become available to the Company will be on 
acceptable terms.  The Company's ability to raise additional financing 
may be dependent on many factors beyond the Company's control, including 
the state of the capital markets and the rate of progress of the 
Company's clinical trials.  Any additional financing that the Company 
may be able to obtain could result in substantial dilution to existing 
stockholders.  If adequate funds are not available, the Company will be 
required to significantly curtail operations.  Any such action could 
impact the Company's research and development programs, including the 
Company's clinical trial program.  Any of these events could adversely 
affect the Company's ability to commercialize its products. 

        Cash requirements for the Company may vary materially from those 
now planned due to results of research and development, results of 
clinical testing, changes in focus and direction of the Company's 
research and development programs, manufacturing processes, competitive 
and technological advances, the FDA regulatory process, changes 
in the Company's marketing and distribution strategy and other factors.
