         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DynaGen,
Inc. (the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Able Laboratories, Inc.
("Able"), which is engaged in the manufacture of generic pharmaceuticals,
Superior Pharmaceutical Company ("Superior") and Generic Distributors Inc.
("GDI"), both of which are engaged in the distribution of generic
pharmaceuticals, and Apex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. which is developing therapeutic
products. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.

         The results of operations for the periods reported are not necessarily
indicative of those that may be expected for a full year. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
which are necessary for a fair statement of operating results for the interim
periods presented have been made.

         The financial information included in this report has been prepared in
conformance with the accounting policies reflected in the financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1999 filed with Securities and Exchange Commission.

USE OF ESTIMATES

         In preparing consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities as of the balance sheet date and reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Material estimates that are particularly
susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the carrying values
of rebates receivable and intangible assets, the valuation of equity instruments
issued by the Company and the amount of obligations due as a result of defaults
on certain debt obligations. Actual results could differ materially from those
estimates.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Basic earnings per share represents income available to common stock
divided by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the
period. Diluted earnings per share reflects additional common shares that would
have been outstanding if dilutive potential common shares had been issued, as
well as any adjustment to income that would result from the assumed issuance.

         For all periods presented, options, warrants, put warrants, convertible
debt and convertible preferred stock were anti-dilutive and excluded from the
diluted earnings per share computations.

         The loss applicable to common stockholders has been increased by the
stated dividends on the convertible preferred stock and the amortization of
discounts on convertible preferred stock due to beneficial conversion features.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company was in default of certain loan
covenants and as a result the Company and the bank have entered into a
forbearance agreement. Under this agreement, the bank has increased the interest
rate on the line to its base rate plus 4% (13.5% at September 30, 2000), charged
us certain fees and is gradually reducing the borrowing limit on the line. As of
November 1, 2000, our borrowing limit has been reduced to $7,500,000. The limit
on the line will be further reduced to $7,000,000 on November 16, 2000,
$6,750,000 on December 1, 2000, $6,500,000 on December 15, 2000 and $6,250,000
on January 1, 2001. Under the agreement, the line matures on January 15, 2001.

5.       PREFERRED STOCK

         During April and May 2000, the Company received $500,000 through the
sale of 500 shares of its Series J Preferred Stock. The Company incurred $50,000
in expenses related to the completion of the financing. The shares of Series J
Preferred Stock are convertible into common stock at 80% of the average closing
bid price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding
the conversion notice from the investor. The conversion can take place on the
earlier of (1) 90 days from the original issue date, or (2) the date on which a
registration statement is declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

         During July 2000, the Company received net proceeds of $1,220,000 from
the sale of preferred stock to a single investor. The Company incurred $150,000
in expenses related to the completion of this financing. In addition, the
Company converted a $750,000 bridge loan received during the second quarter from
the same investor, into preferred stock. The Company issued 25,600 shares of
Series M Convertible Preferred Stock at $100 per share in exchange for the total
proceeds of $2,120,000 from the placements of its Series M Preferred Stock. The
Series M Preferred Stock carries a dividend of 4% and is convertible into common
stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the three lowest
prices per share during the five consecutive trading days prior to conversion.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On November 3, 2000, the Company announced that it signed an agreement
with RxBazaar.com, Inc. to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, Superior
Pharmaceutical Company, for cash and assumption of debt. As of June 2000, the
total value of the transaction was approximately $12.25 million, consisting of a
cash payment of $4,000,000, assumption of DynaGen's senior subordinated debt of
approximately $2.25 million and payment by RxBazaar of intercompany accounts in
the approximate amount of $6,000,000. The transaction is contingent, among other
things, on the approval of DynaGen's stockholders and on RxBazaar's obtaining
sufficient debt and equity financing. DynaGen has scheduled a meeting of its
stockholders on November 27, 2000 to vote on the proposed sale. As of October 1,
2000, DynaGen beneficially owned 1,700,000 shares or 8.9% of the common stock of
RxBazaar.com and has a warrant to purchase an additional 1,200,000 shares at a
price of $2.50 per share.

         DynaGen is also negotiating with another third party for the sale of
its other distribution subsidiary, Generic Distributors, Inc. The sale of
Generic Distributors is expected to close prior to the sale of Superior. With
the sale of its two distribution subsidiaries, DynaGen hopes to eliminate all of
its existing senior bank debt and senior subordinated debt, and improve its
ability to focus on its core business of generic drug development and
manufacturing.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION

         The following information should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part I, Item 1 of this
Quarterly Report and with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1999.


                                       11

         CERTAIN FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

         The Company does not provide forecasts of the future financial
performance of the Company. However, from time to time, information provided by
the Company or statements made by its employees may contain "forward-looking"
information that involves risks and uncertainties . In particular, statements
contained in this Form 10-QSB which are not historical facts constitute
forward-looking statements and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can identify these
statements by forward-looking words such as "may", "will", "expect",
"anticipate", "believe", "estimate", "continue", and similar words. You should
read statements that contain these words carefully because they: (1) discuss our
future expectations; (2) contain projections of our future operating results or
financial condition; or (3) state other "forward-looking" information. Various
factors listed below, as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus,
provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual
results to be materially worse than the expectations we describe in our
forward-looking statements.

         Each forward-looking statement should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in Part I, Item 1, of this
Quarterly Report and with the information contained in Item 2, including, but
not limited to, the factors set forth below, together with the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 1999, including, but not limited to, the section therein entitled
"Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results."

         In addition to the risks and uncertainties posed generally by the
generic drug industry, we face the following risks and uncertainties:

         o     our auditors have expressed doubt about our ability to continue
               as a going concern;

         o     if we cannot raise significant additional funds, then we will
               have to substantially curtail our operations and investors could
               lose their investment;

         o     if we continue to incur losses, then the value of our common
               stock will likely decline;

         o     we face intense competition from other manufacturers of generic
               drugs;

         o     if the Boston Stock Exchange were to delist our common stock, we
               will have greater difficulty raising the capital we need to
               continue operations;

         o     if our common stock becomes subject to penny stock rules,
               investors may have greater difficulty selling their shares;

         o     we are obligated to issue a large number of shares of common
               stock;

         o     the value of the common stock fluctuates widely and investors
               could lose money on their investment in our stock;

         o     we may face product liability for which we are not adequately
               insured; and

         o     intense regulation by government agencies may delay our efforts
               to commercialize our proposed drug products.


                                       12
<PAGE>
         Because of the foregoing and other factors, we may experience material
fluctuations in our futureoperating results on a quarterly or annual basis which
could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, operating
results and stock price.

OVERVIEW

         DynaGen makes and sells generic drugs for the human health care market.
In 1996, we shifted our business focus from being a development and licensing
company to building a company focused on the manufacture and distribution of
generic drug products and specialty pharmaceuticals. In August 1996, we acquired
the tablet business of Able Laboratories, Inc., a generic pharmaceutical product
subsidiary of Alpharma, Inc. In addition, we acquired Superior Pharmaceutical
Company, a distributor of generic pharmaceuticals, in June 1997. In March 1998,
we acquired Generic Distributors Limited Partnership through our wholly-owned
subsidiary, Generic Distributors, Inc.

         On November 3, 2000, the Company announced that it signed an agreement
with RxBazaar.com, Inc. to sell its wholly-owned subsidiary, Superior
Pharmaceutical Company, for cash and assumption of debt. As of June 30, 2000,
the total value of the transaction was approximately $12.25 million, consisting
of a cash payment of $4,000,000, assumption of DynaGen's senior subordinated
debt of approximately $2.25 million and payment by RxBazaar of intercompany
accounts in the approximate amount of $6,000,000. The transaction is contingent,
among other things, on the approval of DynaGen's stockholders and on RxBazaar's
obtaining sufficient debt and equity financing. DynaGen has scheduled a meeting
of its stockholders on November 27, 2000 to vote on the proposed sale.

         DynaGen is also negotiating with another third party for the sale of
its other distribution subsidiary, Generic Distributors, Inc. The sale of
Generic Distributors is expected to close prior to the sale of Superior. With
the sale of its two distribution subsidiaries, DynaGen hopes to eliminate all of
its existing senior bank debt and senior subordinated debt, and improve its
ability to focus on its core business of generic drug development and
manufacturing.

         We have financed our operating losses primarily through the proceeds of
public and private stock offerings and debt offerings. We anticipate that
revenues from product sales will not be sufficient to fund our current
operations and produce an operating profit in fiscal 2000. We have incurred
losses since inception and may incur additional losses in the future.

         Our history of operating losses raises substantial doubt about our
ability to continue operations. If we are unable to secure significant
additional financing or to renegotiate our agreements with our existing
creditors, we will have to curtail or suspend research and development and other
business activities. Our independent auditors issued an opinion on our financial
statements as of December 31, 1999 and for the year then ended which included an
explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt about our ability to continue
as a going concern. See "-- Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results."

Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2000
-----------------------------------------------------------
         Revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 were
$8,590,907 compared to $7,368,820 for the period ended September 30, 1999. The
increase of $1,222,087 or 17% is primarily the result of improved sales of Able
products.

         Cost of sales was $7,775,090 or 91% of sales for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $5,721,391 or 78% of sales for the period
ending September 30, 1999. During the quarter ended September 30, 2000, we
initiated several sales promotions in an effort to reduce our inventory. These
promotions reduced our gross profit margin for the quarter.

                                       13
<PAGE>
         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three-month period
ended September 30, 2000 were $2,088,545 compared to $2,013,761 for the
three-month period ended September 30, 1999.

         Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 were $446,323 compared to $699,397 for the three-month period
ended September 30, 1999 declining by 253,074 or 36% over last year. The
decrease is attributed to a timing difference, since the year to date research
and development expenses in the year 2000 have increased from last year.
Management has invested significant funds during 2000 into developing generic
drugs.

         Interest and other income was $30,037 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $5,294 for the three-month period ended
September 30, 1999. Other income in both periods consisted primarily of
forgiveness of debt. Interest and financing expense for the three month period
ended September 30, 2000 was $577,120 compared to $603,882 for the three-month
period ended September 30, 1999, a decrease of $26,762 or 4% over last year.
Interest saved as a result of converting certain debt obligations into equity
was offset by higher interest expense on our working capital line of credit.

         The Company incurred a net loss of $2,266,134 or $0.04 per share for
the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to a net loss of $1,664,317 or
$.03 per share in the prior year. The decline in profits of $601,817 is a result
of low margins on certain sales due to promotions.

Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2000
----------------------------------------------------------
         Revenues for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 were
$24,691,916 compared to $20,974,657 for the period ended September 30, 1999. The
increase of $3,712,259 or 18% is primarily the result of sales of Able products.

         Cost of sales was $19,426,654 or 79% of sales for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000, compared to $16,903,374, or 81% of sales for the
period ended September 30, 1999. The Company improved its gross profit margin to
21% due to the higher margins of new products manufactured at Able Laboratories.
Our year to date improvement in our gross profit margin was negatively impacted
by sales promotions we undertook in the quarter ended September 30, 2000.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2000 were $6,849,367 compared to $6,370,083 for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999. The increase in expenses of
$479,284, or 7.5% over last year, is primarily due to increases in sales
commissions and bad debt expenses.

         Research and development expenses were $1,513,912 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1,198,033 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1999. This increase of $315,879 reflects the Company's investment
in research and development for new products which are expected to be approved
by the FDA in the latter part of fiscal 2000 and early in fiscal 2001. We
anticipate that these new products will result in significant new sales.

         We recorded an additional $400,000 of loss on impairment of Superior's
customer lists in the first quarter of 1999 based on our revised projections of
Superior's cash flows after reviewing Superior's performance during the first
quarter of 1999.

         Interest and other income was $802,714 for the nine-months ended
September 30, 2000, compared to $483,278 for the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1999. Other income in 1999 consisted primarily of forgiveness of
debt and other income in the corresponding nine month period of 2000 consisted
of forgiveness of debt and termination of certain trade agreements. Interest and
financing expenses of $1,549,253 for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2000, compared to $1,749,586 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1999.
Interest expense was higher in 1999 primarily due to first quarter 1999 interest
expense on obligations which were settled in 1999.

         The Company incurred a net loss of $3,844,556 or $0.07 per share for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to a net loss of $5,163,141 or
$.13 per share in the prior year. Overall the Company reduced its net loss by
$1,318,585 due to improved margins and a reduction of overall expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         As of September 30, 2000, we had working capital of $229,996 compared
to a working capital deficit of $1,126,801 at December 31, 1999. Cash was
$382,340 at September 30, 2000 compared to $310,549 at December 31, 1999.
Working capital increased primarily as a result of conversions of debt to equity
and proceeds from sales of preferred stock. We expect our cash needs for the
next 12 months to be approximately $4,000,000. We expect to generate the needed
cash through additional financing activities. If we are not able to raise the
needed financing, we will be forced to curtail or suspend our research and
development and other business activities. See "Certain Factors That May Affect
Future Results."

         In November 1999, we secured a line of credit for working capital from
BankBoston, N.A. Borrowings (now Fleet Capital) under the line are secured by
substantially all the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. Under this
agreement, we borrowed up to 85% of our eligible accounts receivable and 60% of
our eligible inventory. The bank has also extended a term loan secured by the
equipment at Able. We use this line of credit primarily for our working capital
needs.

         As of September 30, 2000, the Company was in default of certain loan
covenants and as a result the Company and the bank have entered into a
forbearance agreement. Under this agreement, the bank has increased the interest
rate on the line to its base rate plus 4% (13.5% at September 30, 2000), charged
us certain fees and is gradually reducing the borrowing limit on the line. As of
November 1, 2000, our borrowing limit has been reduced to $7,500,000. The limit
on the line will be further reduced to $7,000,000 on November 16, 2000,
$6,750,000 on December 1, 2000, $6,500,000 on December 15, 2000 and $6,250,000
on January 1, 2001. Under the agreement, the line matures on January 15, 2001.

         Under the forbearance agreement we can borrow up to 80% of our eligible
accounts receivable and 60% of our eligible inventory less $1,000,000. As of
November 1, 2000, the borrowings on inventory were reduced to 50% of our
eligible inventory less $1,000,000 and on December 1, 2000 will be further
reduced to 40% of our eligible inventory less $1,000,000.

         On November 3, 2000, we announced an agreement to sell our Superior
Pharmaceutical Company subsidiary. In conjunction with this proposed
transaction, we expect to receive a purchase price of $6,248,875 consisting of
$4,000,000 in cash and the assumption of our 13.5% senior subordinated debt by
the purchaser, RxBazaar.com, Inc. On closing of the transaction, RxBazaar.com is
also required to settle the outstanding intercompany balances due to us. As of
September 30, 2000 Superior owed approximately $4,643,000 of trade payables to
Able Laboratories and DynaGen owed approximately $840,000 to Superior. The total
cash received at closing estimated at $7,803,000 as of September 30, 2000 will
be used to partially pay our Fleet Capital working capital line of credit
($8,007,130 at September 30, 2000) and our bank overdraft.

         To date we have met substantially all of our capital requirements
through the sale of securities and loans convertible into common stock. The
negative impact of events in 1997, 1998 and 1999, has limited our ability to
raise capital in a conventional sale of our securities. However, we continue to
pursue additional sources of capital in order to fund the growth of Able's
generic drug business and its product development efforts. If we are unable to
obtain such additional financing, our ability to maintain our current level of
operations would be materially and adversely affected and we would be required
to reduce or eliminate certain expenditures, including research and development
activities with respect to certain proposed products. We cannot give any
assurance that we will raise the needed financing. If we cannot raise such
financing, we will not have adequate working capital for our operations. Under
such circumstances, we may have to seek protection of the bankruptcy courts.

         We are currently negotiating the sale of our Generic Distributors
subsidiary for cash and the forgiveness of our intercompany payable to Generic
Distributors. Proceeds from this sale will also be used to pay our Fleet Capital
Working Capital line of credit.

         The payoff of our working capital line of credit and the assumption of
our senior subordinated debt by RxBazaar.com would enable our Able Laboratories
subsidiary to further maximize their borrowing ability on their accounts
receivable, inventory and fixed assets subject only to our existing New Jersey
Economic Development Authority Bonds.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         On May 4, 2000, Don Couvillon, Sidney Johnson, and Generic Distributors
Limited Partnership (collectively, "Claimants") filed for arbitration with the
American Arbitration Association in Atlanta, Georgia. Claimants alleged that
DynaGen, Generic Distributors, Inc., and Superior Pharmaceutical Co.
(collectively, "Respondents") breached the parties' March 2, 1998 Asset Purchase
Agreement by refusing to pay certain compensation totaling $1,383,332.00.
DynaGen and other respondents denied liability and countersued Claimants for
fraud in inducing the Asset Purchase Agreement, breach of contract, negligent
misrepsentation, and a judgment of rescission. On June 6, 2000, Couvillon and
Johnson filed a related action in Federal District Court in Monroe, Louisiana
against DynaGen, Generic Distributors, Inc., and Superior Pharmaceutical Co.,
and later dismissed their pending claims in the Atlanta arbitration. Couvillon
and Johnson alleged breaches of compensation provisions in their employment and
consulting contracts, respectively, and each demanded $116,666.00. DynaGen
denied liability and countersued for fraud in the inducement and negligent
misrepresentations. DynaGen intends to defend and prosecute both matters
vigorously.

         We are also involved in certain other legal proceedings from time to
time incidental to our normal business activities. While the outcome of any such
proceedings cannot be accurately predicted, we do not believe the ultimate
resolution of any existing matters should have a material adverse effect on our
financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         a.  Not applicable

         b.  Sales of unregistered Securities. In the three months ended
             Sepember 30, 2000, the Company sold the following securities:

         During July 2000, the Company received net proceeds of $1,220,000 from
the sale of preferred stock to a single investor. The Company incurred $150,000
in expenses related to the completion of this financing. In addition, the
Company converted a $750,000 bridge loan received during the second quarter from
the same investor, into preferred stock. The Company issued 25,600 shares of
Series M Convertible Preferred Stock at $100 per share in exchange for the total
proceeds of $2,120,000 from the placements of its Series M Preferred Stock. The
Series M Preferred Stock carries a dividend of 4% and is convertible into common
stock at a conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the three lowest
prices per share during the five consecutive trading days prior to conversion.

         We relied on one or more exemptions from registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, including the section (2) exemption, for the sale of
Series M Preferred Stock.

         In October 2000, the Company granted two options to purchase a total of
1,600,000 shares to two directors at an exercise price of $0.13. These options
have a term of ten years and are immediately exercisable in full.

         During the quarter ending September 30, 2000, the Company issued
3,256,829 shares of common stock upon the exercise of options and warrants and
conversion of convertible debt and equity securities.

ITEM 3.  DEFAULTS ON SENIOR SECURITIES

         In November 1999, we secured a line of credit for working capital from
BankBoston N.A. (now Fleet Capital) Borrowings under the line are secured by
substantially all the assets of DynaGen and its subsidiaries. The bank also
extended a term loan secured by equipment at Able, which is being amortized over
12 months.

         As of September 30, 2000, we are in default of certain loan covenants,
and as a result entered into a forbearance agreement with the bank. Under this
agreement, the bank has increased the interest rate on the line to its base rate
plus 4% (13.5% at September 30, 2000), charged us certain fees and is gradually
reducing the borrowing limit on the line. As of November 1, 2000, our borrowing
limit has been reduced to $7,500,000. The limit on the line will be further
reduced to $7,000,000 on November 16, 2000, $6,750,000 on December 1, 2000,
$6,500,000 on December 15, 2000 and $6,250,000 on January 1, 2001. Under the
agreement, the line matures on January 15, 2001. We have indicated to the bank
that we will seek an alternate lender to maximize our borrowing on our assets.

         Under the forbearance agreement we can borrow up to 80% of our eligible
accounts receivable and 60% of our eligible inventory less $1,000,000. As of
November 1, 2000, borrowings on inventory were reduced to 50% of our eligible
inventory less $1,000,000 and on December 1, 2000 will be further reduced to 40%
of our eligible inventory less $1,000,000.
