                    Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
                                  (Unaudited)

                                 June 30, 1996


  1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

  The condensed financial statements of Protein Polymer Technologies, Inc. (the
  "Company") for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are
  unaudited.  These financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of
  only normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are
  necessary to state fairly the financial position at June 30, 1996 and the
  results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and
  1995.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30,
  1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year
  ended December 31, 1996.  For more complete financial information, these
  financial statements and the notes thereto should be read in conjunction with
  the audited financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report and
  Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1995, filed with the Securities
  and Exchange Commission.


  2.  NET LOSS PER SHARE

  Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of common
  shares outstanding during the period.  The net loss figures used for this
  calculation recognize accumulated dividends on the Company's Series D
  Preferred Stock.  Such dividends are payable when declared by the Board in
  cash or common stock.


  3.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  During June and July 1996 the Company received $807,000 from the exercise of
  privately held warrants to certain accredited investors for 322,663 shares of
  the Company's common stock.  These warrants, due to expire on July 31, 1996,
  had an exercise price of $2.50.  The Company filed an S-3 Registration
  statement, which went effective July 19, 1996, to register the resale of such
  shares.  As of June 30, 1996, warrants for 116,983 had been exercised,
  accounting for $292,000 in equity capital and other receivables.

  In August 1996 the Company and Ethicon, Inc., a subsidiary of the Johnson &
  Johnson Company, revised certain terms of their licensing and development
  agreement.  The revisions extend the research phase of the agreement for four
  more months and provide for additional research payments to the Company.
  These payments are to be credited against future manufacturing and royalty
  payments to the Company.  Additionally, the date the agreement would
  automatically terminate if the next scientific milestone is not achieved and
  approved by Ethicon was revised to December 14, 1996, unless otherwise
  amended.  No other terms of the agreement were altered.

  Concurrent with the Ethicon agreement revisions, Johnson & Johnson Development
  Corp. agreed to exercise its warrant for 300,480 shares of common stock at
  $1.25 per share, raising $376,000 for the Company.

  4.  LIQUIDITY

  The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
  Company will continue as a going concern.  The Company believes its existing
  available cash and short-term investments as of June 30, 1996, along with
  capital raised to this date and expected future payments from Ethicon through
  1996, is sufficient to meet its anticipated capital requirements until June
  1997.  If the Company receives contractual payments from Ethicon based on the
  Company achieving its next scientific milestone by the end of 1996, there
  would be sufficient funds for continuing operations until the fourth quarter
  of 1997.  Nevertheless, substantial additional capital resources will be
  required to fund continuing expenditures related to the Company's research,
  development and product marketing activities.

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

  GENERAL OVERVIEW

  Protein Polymer Technologies, Inc. (the "Company") is a development stage
  biotechnology company that has concentrated its research efforts on
  establishing a scientific and technical leadership position in the design and
  manufacture of unique protein-based materials.  The Company has identified
  biomedical market and product opportunities that it believes will exploit the
  unique properties of the technology to competitive advantage.  The Company has
  been unprofitable to date, and has an accumulated deficit of $17,789,000.

  In September 1995 the Company entered into collaborative agreements with
  Ethicon, Inc., a subsidiary of the Johnson & Johnson Company, related to the
  Company's tissue adhesives and sealants program.  The Company's strategy with
  most of its other programs is to enter into similar agreements with major
  medical product marketing and distribution companies.  Although these
  relationships may provide significant near-term revenues in the form of up-
  front license fees, research and development revenues and milestone payments,
  the Company expects to incur continuing operating losses for the next several
  years.

  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Sales and license fees from the Company's ProNectin(R) F product line for the
  three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $9,000 and $25,000,
  respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 these revenues
  were $25,000 and $59,000, respectively.  The decreases versus last year were
  due to the launch in 1995 of the Company's SmartPlastic(TM) Activated
  Plasticware(TM) product line which included sales into the distributor
  pipeline.  Contract research revenue for the three months ended June 30, 1996
  totaled $100,000, versus none for the same period in 1995. For the six months
  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 these revenues were $100,000 and $10,000,
  respectively.  The 1996 revenue represents an agreement extension payment from
  Ethicon.

  Interest income was $18,000 for the three months ended June 30, 1996, compared
  to $7,000 for the same period in 1995. For the six months ended June 30, 1996
  and 1995 it was $39,000 and $22,000, respectively.  The increases resulted
  primarily from additional cash available for investing received from the sale
  of preferred stock and the exercise of certain warrants.

  Cost of goods sold was $6,000 for each of the three months ended June 30, 1996
  and 1995.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 these expenses were
  $12,000 and $30,000, respectively.  The decrease in costs related primarily to
  the 1995 launching and start-up costs of the Company's SmartPlastic product
  line.  Royalty expenses paid to Stanford University and Telios
  Pharmaceuticals, Inc. were $6,000 for each of the three month periods ended
  June 30, 1996 and 1995, and $23,000 for each of the six month periods ended
  June 30, 1996 and 1995.

  Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 1996
  were $461,000, compared to $450,000 for the same period in 1995, a 2.5%
  increase.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 these expenses were
  $908,000 and $921,000, respectively, a 1% decrease.  The Company expects that
  its research and development expenses will increase over time to the extent
  its projects are successfully developed and additional capital is obtained.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June
  30, 1996 were $357,000, as compared to $301,000 for the same period in 1995,
  an 18% increase.  This increase was primarily due to additional patent and
  legal expenses and higher investor relations costs.  For the six months ended
  June 30, 1996 and 1995 these expenses were $667,000 and $687,000,
  respectively, a 3% decrease.  The Company expects its selling, general and
  administrative 

                                       8
<PAGE>
 
  expenses to increase as support for its research, development and product
  marketing efforts require and to the extent additional capital is raised.

  For the three months ended June 30, 1996, the Company recorded a net loss
  applicable to common shareholders of $825,000, or $.13 per share compared to
  $786,000, or $.13 per share for the same period in 1995, a 5% increase.
  Included in the three month periods of 1996 and 1995 were $122,000 and $54,000
  for undeclared cumulative dividends related to the Company's outstanding
  preferred stock.    For the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, the
  Company recorded a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $1,691,000,
  or $.27 per share compared to $1,677,000, or $.29 per share for the same
  period in 1995, a 1% increase.  Included in the six month periods of 1996 and
  1995 were $245,000 and $108,000 for undeclared cumulative dividends related to
  the Company's outstanding preferred stock.

  The Company expects to incur similar or increasing operating losses for the
  immediate future (to the extent additional capital is obtained), due primarily
  to increases in the Company's product development, manufacturing and business
  development activities.  The Company's results depend on its ability to
  generate product and contract revenues and establish strategic alliances,
  increased research, development and manufacturing efforts, preclinical and
  clinical product testing and commercialization expenditures, expenses incurred
  for regulatory compliance and patent prosecution, and other factors.  The
  Company's results will also fluctuate from period to period due to timing
  differences.

  To date the Company believes that inflation and changing prices have not had a
  material effect on its continuing operations.

  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term
  investments of $1,331,000 as compared to $2,011,000 at December 31, 1995.  As
  of June 30, 1996, the Company had working capital of $1,470,000, compared to
  $1,803,000 at December 31, 1995.  These decreases resulted from the funding of
  losses from operations and additional capital expenditures, offset by net
  proceeds from the exercise of warrants and sale of common stock.

  The Company had no long-term debt obligations as of June 30, 1996 and December
  31, 1995.  For the six months ending June 30, 1996, the Company's expenditures
  for capital equipment and leasehold improvements totaled $35,000, compared
  with $23,000 for the same period last year.  The Company is expecting to
  increase its capital expenditures in the next few quarters (to the extent
  additional capital is obtained), as the Company moves into its expanded
  facilities and retrofits existing space to achieve "good laboratory practices"
  compliance as certified by the Food and Drug Administration.

  The Company believes its existing available cash and short-term investments as
  of June 30, 1996, combined with capital raised during July and August 1996
  from the exercise of outstanding warrants, (see Subsequent Events, above) will
  be sufficient to meet its anticipated capital requirements until June 1997. If
  the Company receives contractual payments from Ethicon based on the Company
  achieving its next scientific milestone by the end of 1996, there would be
  sufficient funds for continuing operations until the fourth quarter of 1997.
  Nevertheless, substantial additional capital resources will be required to
  fund continuing expenditures related to the Company's research, development
  and product marketing activities.  The Company believes there may be a number
  of alternatives to meet its continuing capital needs of its operations, such
  as additional collaborative agreements and public or private financings, and
  is actively pursuing all of these approaches.  However, there can be no
  assurance that the requisite fundings will be consummated in the necessary
  time frame or on terms favorable to the Company.  If adequate funds are not
  available, the Company may be required to significantly curtail its operating
  plans and relinquish rights to significant portions of the Company's
  technology or products.
