1995, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted  
accounting principles for interim financial statements and include all  
adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) that the

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations  
  
Overview  
  
Penederm is developing and commercializing topically administered  
prescription dermatology products that use the Company's proprietary  
delivery technology or novel drug compounds to achieve enhanced safety  
or efficacy profiles.  Penederm has recently received notification from  
the FDA that its NDA for MENTAX (trademark)(topical athlete's foot  
treatment), is approvable.  The Company currently has NDAs pending  
before the FDA for treatment of other skin fungus indications with  
MENTAX and for AVITA (trademark) gel and AVITA cream topical retinoic  
acid acne treatments, and has two other pharmaceutical products for  
psoriasis and nail fungus in human clinical trials.  The Company also  
sells its patented TopiCare Delivery Compounds (registered trademark)  
for use in cosmetics and personal care products.  The Company has  
several agreements with various pharmaceutical companies, as follows:

The Company has been unprofitable since inception and expects to incur  
significant additional operating losses in the near future. For the  
period from inception through June 30, 1996, the Company incurred a  
cumulative net loss of  $35,064,000. Penederm's sources of working  
capital have been equity financings, product sales to Warner, sales of  
over-the-counter products, product license fees and contract research  
revenues, sales of TopiCare Delivery Compounds and interest earned on  
investments.  
  
Recent Events  
  
In April 1996, the FDA notified the Company that its NDA for MENTAX  
(butenafine HCl cream), a topical treatment for interdigital tinea pedis  
(athlete's foot) was approvable. The Company must supply certain data to  
the FDA and complete its product labeling discussions with the agency  
prior to obtaining final approval.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations, continued  
  
Recent Events, continued  
  
In May 1996 Mr. Robert F. Allnutt, Executive Vice President of the  
Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, and Mr. Mark J. Gabrielson,  
President of Access Management Services, Inc. and General Partner of  
Prince Ventures, joined the Board of Directors to fill vacancies created  
by Tom McConnell, a General Partner of New Enterprise Associates, and  
Philip Young, a General Partner of U.S. Venture Partners, not standing  
for re-election.    
  
In June 1996, the Company received a non-approvable letter from the FDA  
regarding its NDAs for AVITA, the Company's retinoic acid formulations  
for acne treatment.  The FDA requested an additional study to document  
the efficacy of the gel formulation.  The Company had already completed  
an additional efficacy trial on AVITA gel and submitted the results to  
the FDA in a July 1996 amendment.  
  
Results of Operations  
  
Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995  
  
Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 1996 of $1,100,000  
decreased 32% from $1,620,000 in the same period of 1995, due primarily  
to lower quantities of Lubriderm products shipped to Warner as compared  
to 1995 launch quantities and a decline in Penederm cream and lotion  
sales, as a result of reduced promotion spending. The Company reduced  
promotional spending on Penederm cream and lotion in order to direct  
more resources to prescription product human clinical trials. Based on  
current product demand forecasts from Warner, the Company anticipates  
sales to Warner will continue to be less than previous levels for the  
remainder of 1996 and 1997. 
  
<PAGE>  
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations, continued  
  
Results of Operations, continued  
  
The Company's cost of sales decreased to $687,000 in the three months  
ended June 30, 1996 from $702,000 in the same period of 1995 primarily  
due to the decrease in the manufacturing of products for Warner.  Gross  
margins declined in the second quarter of 1996 compared to the same  
period of 1995 due to lower sales levels and a change in the mix of  
product revenues.  
  
The Company's research and development expenses remained relatively flat  
for the second quarter at $1,259,000 in the three months ended June 30,  
1996 compared to $1,234,000 in the same period of 1995.  
  
Sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 14% to  
$1,122,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $984,000 in the  
same period of 1995 due primarily to increased legal costs related to  
enforcement of patent rights, commissions on increased TopiCare Delivery  
Compound sales and the costs of pre-launch preparations for MENTAX, the  
Company's topical antifungal product, partially offset by reduced  
personnel costs.  
  
Interest income for the three months ended June 30 decreased 40% to  
$154,000 in 1996 from $255,000 for the same period in 1995. This  
decrease is primarily the result of lower cash balances available for  
investment in the three months ended June 30, 1996.  
  
Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995  
  
Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1996 of $1,900,000  
decreased 36% from $2,954,000 in the same period of 1995, due primarily  
to lower quantities of Lubriderm products shipped to Warner as compared  
to 1995 launch quantities and a decline in Penederm cream and lotion  
sales, as a result of reduced promotion spending.  
  
The Company's cost of sales decreased to $1,115,000 in the six months  
ended June 30, 1996 from $1,344,000 in the same period of 1995 primarily  
due to the decrease in the manufacturing of products for Warner.  Gross  
margins declined in the first half of 1996 compared to the same period  
of 1995 due to lower sales levels and a change in the mix of product  
revenues.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, continued  
  
The Company's research and development expenses increased 33% to  
$3,121,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $2,347,000 in the  
same period of 1995 primarily due to the cost of human clinical trials  
to establish additional claims for both AVITA (acne treatment) and  
MENTAX (skin antifungal).  These studies encompassed 1,600 patients over  
26 sites across the U.S. and Canada.  
  
Sales, marketing, general and administrative expenses increased 8% to  
$2,308,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $2,136,000 in the  
same period of 1995 due primarily to increased legal costs related to  
enforcement of patent rights, commissions on increased TopiCare Delivery  
Compound sales and the costs of pre-launch preparations for MENTAX, the  
Company's topical antifungal product, partially offset by reduced  
personnel costs.  
  
Interest income for the six months ended June 30 decreased 35% to  
$330,000 in 1996 from $510,000 for the same period in 1995. This  
decrease is primarily the result of lower cash balances available for  
investment in the six months ended June 30, 1996.  
  
The Company expects that future operating results may be subject to  
quarterly variations that may impact cash flow from operations.  
Operating results for the quarter and six month period ended June 30,  
1996 are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.  
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources  
  
In November 1993, the Company completed its initial public offering of  
Common Stock, raising approximately $23,000,000 net of expenses. Prior  
to the initial public offering, the Company financed operations  
primarily through private placements of its equity securities, interest  
income earned on investment of cash, initial sales of products and  
product license fees. At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash, cash  
equivalents and investments totaling $10,438,000.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and  
Results of Operations, continued   
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources, continued  
  
Cash expenditures related to operating activities and the acquisition of  
fixed assets and repayment of long-term obligations totaled $4,587,000  
in the six months ended June 30, 1996 and $3,849,000 for the same period  
in fiscal 1995, and were used to finance research, development, clinical  
trials, product sales, promotion and general administration activities.   
The Company also made milestone payments of $100,000 and $1,098,000  
related to the in-licensing of drug compounds in the six months ended  
June 30, 1996 and 1995 respectively.  The Company expects that amounts  
expended historically are not indicative of future expenditures by the  
Company, which the Company believes will increase. The Company expects  
to continue to incur substantial expenses related to the further  
research and development of its technologies, development of its  
products, acquisition of additional products and rights to drug  
compounds, patent prosecution expenses and sales and marketing.  These  
expenses include, but are not limited to, increases in personnel and  
personnel-related costs, inventory and accounts receivable and capital  
expenditures, and may also include costs of facilities expansion.  
  
The Company believes that existing capital resources, and the interest  
income earned thereon, together with anticipated revenues (consisting of  
product sales, license fees and royalties), will satisfy the Company's  
working capital and identified capital expenditure requirements through  
the end of 1997.  However, the Company's future capital requirements  
will depend on many factors, including the timing of regulatory  
approvals, the progress of the Company's collaborative and independent  
research and development programs, payments received under collaborative  
agreements with other companies, if any, the results and costs of  
preclinical and clinical testing for the Company's products, the costs  
associated with product and compound acquisition opportunities,  
technological advances, the status of competitive products, and the  
commercial success of Penederm's licensing and marketing efforts. There  
can be no assurance that additional funds, if required, will be  
available to the Company on favorable terms, if at all, to permit the  
Company to continue with its plan for operations.

Part II:  Other Information  
  
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings  
  
On July 22, 1996, Johnson & Johnson filed a complaint against Penederm  
in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California alleging  
that AVITA gel, one of the Company's four retinoic acid acne  
formulations, infringes a Johnson & Johnson patent (the "J&J Patent").  
The J&J Patent expires on January 27. 1998. Based on prior opinion of  
counsel, Penederm believes that AVITA does not infringe the J&J Patent.  
The Company believes that the litigation will not affect the timing of  
the FDA's review of the NDA for the Company's three AVITA cream  
formulations and will not have a material adverse effect on the  
Company's business, financial position and results of operations.  
However, pursuant to FDA regulations, although the FDA can issue an  
approval it cannot make any approval for the AVITA gel effective prior  
to the expiration of the J&J Patent if the lawsuit is pending. There can  
be no assurance that the lawsuit will not delay the timing of the market  
introduction of AVITA gel, will not result in some diversion of  
management attention or will not require substantial expenditures to  
defend or resolve.

shares abstaining.  
  
The shareholders voted to approve certain amendments to the Penederm  
Incorporated 1994 Nonemployee Directors Stock Option Plan to increase  
the initial and annual grants to directors from 5,000 shares to 7,500  
shares, toprovide that a director shall receive an annual grant at the  
first board meeting following an annual meeting unless that director's  
initial grant was made on or after the record date for the annual  
meeting, and to provide that any non-employee director who has not  
received either an initial grant or an annual grant since the record
