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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

          Cash and cash equivalents decreased from approximately $3.6 million at
December 31, 1996 to approximately $1.4 million at March 31, 1997, primarily as
a result of approximately $3 million of net cash used in operations and
approximately $100,000 used to purchase property and equipment offset by
approximately $900,000 received from the exercise of options and warrants.

         In May 1995, the Company entered into a worldwide, except for South
Africa, license and supply agreement with American Home Products Corporation
("AHP") under which the Wyeth-Ayerst division of AHP will market Crinone. Under
the terms of the agreement, as of April 30, 1997, the Company has received $10.5
million in milestone payments and will continue to receive additional milestone
payments and a percentage of sales, which sales are expected to commence during
the second quarter of 1997.

         In July 1996, Columbia submitted a New Drug Application ("NDA") to the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for clearance to market Crinone as a
hormonal therapy for patients with secondary amenorrhea (loss of menstrual
period). In November 1996, the Company submitted a second NDA for clearance to
market Crinone for use in Assisted Reproductive Technologies ("ART") procedures,
including IN-VITRO fertilization, ovum donation and stimulated cycles. The FDA
granted the ART filing a priority review. In addition, in February 1997, the FDA
approved the Company's Treatment Protocol under its Investigational New Drug
Application ("IND") for the use of Crinone in assisted fertility procedures. As
a result, through leads generated by the Wyeth-Ayerst institutional sales force,
Columbia has begun distributing Crinone to leading infertility clinics
throughout the United States.

          On May 13, 1997, the Company received U.S. marketing approval for
Crinone from the Food and Drug Administration for use as a progesterone
supplementation or replacement as part of an Assisted Reproductive Technology
(ART) treatment for infertile women with progesterone deficiency.

          In December 1993, the Company entered into an Option and License
Agreement with a French research group based in Marseille, France, pursuant to
which it was granted an option to obtain an exclusive license to the North and
South American rights to a potential AIDS treatment. In May 1996, this agreement
was amended such that Columbia now has the right to obtain an exclusive license
to the worldwide rights. A phase I/II clinical trial in humans is now underway
in the U.S. The purpose of this trial is to determine the optimal dosage of SPC3
in late stage seropositive patients. The options, which must be exercised upon
the occurrence of certain events, expire in December 1998. Upon exercise of the
options, the Company will be required to pay an additional $7 million. If the
Company does not exercise its options upon the occurrence of certain events, the
Company's rights to the options are terminated.

          In connection with the 1989 purchase of the assets of Bio-Mimetics,
Inc., which assets consisted of the patents underlying the Company's Bioadhesive
Delivery System, other patent applications and related technology, the Company
pays Bio-Mimetics, Inc. a royalty equal to two percent of the net sales of
products based on the Bioadhesive Delivery System, to an aggregate of $7.5
million. The Company is required to prepay a portion of the remaining royalty
obligation, in cash or stock at the option of the Company, if certain conditions
are met.

         The Company believes that sales and liquidity will increase when
Crinone is approved by the FDA and other regulatory authorities and Wyeth-Ayerst
subsequently launches the product in mid 1997. Upon the approval of the use of
Crinone as a hormonal therapy for patients with secondary amenorrhea by the FDA,
Columbia will receive a $3 million milestone payment from AHP. The Company is
unaware of any problem concerning the NDAs for Crinone. In addition, the Company
believes the ART application is progressing through the review process at the
FDA as would be expected for an application granted priority review.
Accordingly, the Company expects that Crinone will be approved on a timely
basis. The foregoing are forward looking statements which could be impacted by
when the FDA and other approvals are received, when Wyeth-Ayerst launches the
product, the marketing support Wyeth-Ayerst gives to the product and the
ultimate acceptance of Crinone by the consumers, all of which the Company has
limited ability to influence.

          As of March 31, 1997, the Company has outstanding exercisable options
and warrants that, if exercised, would result in approximately $16 million of
additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that such options or
warrants will be exercised.

          Significant expenditures anticipated by the Company in the near future
are concentrated on production commitments and research and development related
to new products. The Company has committed to spend an aggregate of
approximately $100,000 on additional equipment at its suppliers during 1997.

          As of March 31, 1997, the Company had available net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $50 million to offset its future U.S. taxable
income.

          In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, other assets in the
accompanying consolidated balance sheet include deferred tax assets of
approximately $18 million and $17 million, respectively, (comprised primarily of
a net operating loss carryforward) which have been fully reserved as their
ultimate realizability is not assured.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 VERSUS THREE MONTHS
ENDED MARCH 31, 1996

          Net sales remained relatively constant in 1997 as compared to 1996;
however, the product mix sold changed significantly. As a result, gross profit
as a percentage of sales decreased in 1997 as compared to 1996.

          Selling and distribution expenses remained relatively constant in 1997
as compared to 1996. The Company's strategic alliance partners are responsible
for all marketing and distribution costs of Crinone, Advantage 24 and Replens in
their territories. There can be no assurance that any of the companies with whom
the Company has entered into these agreements will aggressively or successfully
market the products. The Company's success is dependent to a great extent on the
marketing efforts of its strategic alliance partners, which the Company has
limited ability to influence.

          License fees represent upfront and milestone payments received in
connection with the licensing agreement with AHP.

          Interest income increased in 1996 as a result of interest earned on
the monies received in the private placement completed in March 1996.

          As a result, the net loss for 1997 was $3,004,088 or $.11 per share as
compared to a net loss in 1996 of $1,640,675 or $.06 per common share.
