                       MEDICIS PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION

            NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997


1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Medicis" or the "Company") is an
      independent pharmaceutical company headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona that
      develops, markets and sells prescription and non-prescription
      (over-the-counter) products exclusively to treat dermatological
      conditions. Emphasizing the clinical effectiveness, quality, affordability
      and cosmetic elegance of its products, the Company has achieved a leading
      position in the treatment of acne and acne-related conditions using
      prescription pharmaceuticals, while also offering the leading domestic
      over-the-counter ("OTC") fade cream product line. The Company has built
      its business through the successful introduction of the DYNACIN(R) and
      TRIAZ(R) products for the treatment of acne, and the acquisition of the
      ESOTERICA(R) fade cream product line. On February 24, 1997, Medicis
      acquired the prescription topical corticosteroid brands LIDEX(R) and
      SYNALAR(R). These topical corticosteroids combat inflammatory skin
      diseases by reducing swelling and pain, relieving itching and constricting
      blood vessels in the skin. The LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R) product lines
      consist of various potencies and cosmetically elegant formulations,
      allowing dermatologists to prescribe the most appropriate product based on
      the severity and location of the patients condition. Additionally, Medicis
      has formed a new business unit, TX SYSTEMS(TM) by Medicis to market
      cosmetic dermatology treatments to dermatologists nationwide for
      administration and dispensing to patients. Through the TX SYSTEMS(TM) by
      Medicis business unit, two new skin treatments were introduced to improve
      the texture and appearance of the skin - AFIRM(TM), a patented retinol
      cream, and BETA-LIFTX(TM), a new skin treatment procedure.

      In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted in
      the second quarter of fiscal 1998 ended December 31, 1997. At that time,
      reporting Company's will be required to change the method currently used
      to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the
      new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive
      effect of stock options will be excluded. The impact is expected to result
      in an increase in primary earnings per share for the third quarter ended
      March 31, 1997 and March 31, 1996 of $0.02 to $0.31 per share and $0.01 to
      $0.17 per share, respectively. The impact of Statement 128 on the
      calculation of fully diluted earnings per share for these quarters is not
      expected to be material.

      Except as otherwise specified herein, all information in this Form 10-Q
      has been adjusted to give effect to a 3-for-2 stock split in the form of a
      50% stock dividend paid on March 28, 1997 to holders of record on March
      17, 1997.

      Certain immaterial amounts on the face of the balance sheet have been
      reclassified to conform with the current years presentation.

      The financial information is unaudited but reflects all adjustments,
      consisting only of normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of
      the Company's management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for
      the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
      indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements should be
      read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements for
      the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

2. NET INCOME PER COMMON AND COMMON EQUIVALENT SHARE

      Net income per common and common equivalent share have been computed by
      using the weighted average number of shares outstanding and common
      equivalent shares.

3.  CONTINGENCIES

      The Company and certain of its subsidiaries, from time to time, are
      parties to certain actions and proceedings incident to their business.
      Liability in the event of final adverse determinations in any of these
      matters is either covered by insurance and/or established reserves or, in
      the opinion of management, after consultation with counsel, should not, in
      the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
      financial position or results of operations of the Company and its
      subsidiaries.

4.  INVENTORIES

      Although the Company utilizes third parties to manufacture and package
      inventories held for sale, the Company takes title to certain inventories
      and records the associated liability once inventories are manufactured.
      Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market as determined by net
      realizable value using the first-in-first-out method. Inventories, net of
      reserves, at March 31, 1997, and June 30, 1996, consist of the following:

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

      The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the attached
      condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and with the
      Company's audited financial statements, notes to the consolidated
      financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
      Condition and Results of Operations relating thereto included or
      incorporated by reference in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
      the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996.

      The foregoing Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements which
      are subject to risks and uncertainties. The Company's actual results could
      differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking
      statements as a result of certain factors, including those discussed in
      the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June
      30, 1996, which are incorporated by reference herein.

      RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
      31, 1996

      Net Sales

      Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997 (the "third quarter of
      fiscal 1997") increased 56.4%, or $4.0 million, to $11.0 million from $7.0
      million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 (the "third quarter of
      fiscal 1996"). The Company's net sales increased in the third quarter of
      fiscal 1997 primarily as a result of continued unit and dollar growth in
      the Company's prescription products primarily the DYNACIN(R) and TRIAZ(R)
      products and the contribution from the LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R) products
      which were acquired on February 24, 1997 from various affiliates of Syntex
      Corporation and its parent F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. The Company has
      during the third quarter of Fiscal 1997 increased the full-time equivalent
      number of sales personnel and has expanded its clinical testing and
      marketing activities in order to facilitate the increased net sales. The
      Company's prescription products accounted for 87.9% of net sales in the
      third quarter of fiscal 1997 and 84.6% in the third quarter of fiscal
      1996. The unit and dollar sales volume of the Company's ESOTERICA(R)
      products increased 38.4% primarily due to an increase in use of
      promotional vehicles in targeted markets. The over-the-counter products
      accounted for 12.1% of net sales in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and
      15.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 1996.

      Gross Profit

      Gross profit during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 68.6%, or
      $3.5 million, to $8.5 million from $5.0 million in the third quarter of
      fiscal 1996. As a percentage of net sales, gross profit grew to 77.4% in
      the third quarter of fiscal 1997 from 71.8% in the third quarter of fiscal
      1996 primarily as a result of higher average sales prices for the
      Company's DYNACIN(R) and ESOTERICA(R) products, and additional sales from
      the Company's higher margin products primarily TRIAZ(R), LIDEX (R) and
      SYNALAR(R) .

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

      Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of
      fiscal 1997 increased 49.9%, or $1.5 million, to $4.4 million from $2.9
      million in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily due to the
      introduction and administration of the LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R) products
      which the Company began actively promoting to dermatologists nationwide on
      February 24, 1997, the introduction of two new products; BETA-LIFTX(TM)
      and AFIRM(TM) through the Company's newly formed business unit TX
      SYSTEMS(TM) by Medicis and an increase in promotional costs associated
      with the advertising of the ESOTERICA(R) products. Additionally, selling,
      general and administrative expenses increased due to personnel costs
      attributable to an increase in variable compensation commensurate with
      increased sales volume, a rise in full-time equivalent employees and cost
      of living salary adjustments. Selling, general and administrative
      expenses, decreased 180 basis points as a percentage of sales to 40.5%
      from 42.3% in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 relative to the third
      quarter of fiscal 1996.


                                       9
<PAGE>   10
      Research and Development Expenses

      Research and development expenses in the third quarter of fiscal 1997
      increased 93.0%, or approximately $174,000, to approximately $360,000 from
      approximately $186,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996, primarily due
      to expansion of new product research and development activities and an
      increase in expenses associated with the expanded clinical support of the
      Company's existing products.

      Operating Income

      Operating income during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased 98.3%,
      or $1.7 million, to $3.4 million from $1.7 million in the third quarter of
      fiscal 1996. This increase was primarily a result of a 56.4% increase in
      sales volume, coupled with a 560 basis point increase in the Company's
      gross profit as a percentage of net sales and a 180 basis point decrease
      in selling, general, and administrative cost as a percentage of net sales.

      Interest Income (Expense)

      Interest income in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased to $1.2
      million from approximately $53,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 1996,
      primarily due to higher cash equivalent and short-term investment balances
      in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as a result of the Company's public
      offering which raised $95.7 million before related expenses, funds
      received throughout fiscal 1997 as the result of stock option exercises
      and the Company's cash flow from operations.

      Net Income

      Net income during the third quarter of fiscal 1997 increased approximately
      146.5%, or $2.6 million, to $4.3 million from $1.7 million from the third
      quarter of fiscal 1996. The increase is primarily attributable to a 56.4%
      increase in sales volume, a 560 basis point increase in gross profit as a
      percentage of net sales and a 180 basis point decrease in selling, general
      and administrative costs as a percentage of net sales.

      NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED TO THE NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH
      31, 1996

      Net Sales

      Net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 1997 (the "1997 nine
      months") increased 48.3%, or $8.7 million, to $26.7 million from $18.0
      million for the nine months ended March 31, 1996 (the "1996 nine months")
      primarily as a result of continued unit and dollar growth in sales of the
      Company's prescription products primarily the DYNACIN(R) and TRIAZ(R)
      products and the contribution from the LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R) products
      which were acquired on February 24, 1997 from various affiliates of Syntex
      Corporation and its parent F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. The Company has
      during the 1997 nine months increased the full-time equivalent number of
      sales personnel and has expanded its clinical testing and marketing
      activities in order to facilitate the increase in net sales. The Company's
      prescription products accounted for 86.2% of net sales in the 1997 nine
      months as compared to 80.4% of net sales in the 1996 nine months.


                                       10
<PAGE>   11
      Gross Profit

      Gross profit for the 1997 nine months increased 54.8%, or $7.1 million,
      to $20.1 million from $13.0 million in the 1996 nine months. As a
      percentage of net sales, gross profit grew to 75.0% in the 1997 nine
      months from 71.9% in the 1996 nine months primarily due to a higher
      average sales price of the DYNACIN(R) products and additional sales from
      the Company's higher margin products, primarily TRIAZ(R), LIDEX(R) and
      SYNALAR(R).

      Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

      Selling, general and administrative expenses in the 1997 nine months
      increased 38.9%, or $3.1 million, to $11.2 million from $8.1 million in
      the 1996 nine months. The increase is primarily due to the introduction
      and administration of the LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R) products which the
      Company acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 and began actively
      promoting the products to dermatologists nationwide, the introduction of
      two new products; BETA-LIFTX(TM) and AFIRM(TM) through the Company's
      formation of the TX SYSTEMS(TM) by Medicis business unit and an increase
      in promotional costs associated with advertising of the ESOTERICA(R)
      products and the Company's existing prescription products. Selling,
      general and administrative expenses also increased due to personnel costs
      attributable to an increase in variable compensation commensurate with
      increased sales volume, personnel cost attributable to a rise in full-time
      equivalent employees, and cost of living salary adjustments. Selling,
      general and administrative costs, have decreased 280 basis points as a
      percentage of sales to 41.9% from 44.7% in the 1997 nine months compared
      to the 1996 nine months.

      Research and Development Expenses

      Research and development expenses in the 1997 nine months increased 60.1%
      or approximately $365,000 to approximately $973,000, from approximately
      $608,000 in the 1996 nine months primarily due to expansion of new product
      research and development activities and an increase in expenses associated
      with the clinical support of the Company's existing products.

      Operating Income

      Operating income during the 1997 nine months increased 90.5% or, $3.5
      million to $7.4 million from $3.9 million in the 1996 nine months. This
      increase was primarily a result of a 48.3% increase in sales volume
      coupled with an increase of 310 basis points in the Company's gross profit
      as a percentage of net sales and decrease of 280 basis points in selling,
      general, and administrative costs as a percentage of net sales.

      Interest Income (Expense)

      Interest income in the 1997 nine months increased to $2.7 million from
      approximately $86,000 in the 1996 nine months, primarily due to higher
      cash equivalent and short-term investment balances in the 1997 nine
      months. Cash equivalent and short-term investments balances have increased
      primarily due to the Company's public offering which raised $95.7 million
      before related expenses, the Company's cash flow from operations and funds
      received as a result of stock option exercises. Interest expense in the
      1997 nine months decreased 71.1%, or approximately $47,000, to
      approximately $19,000 from approximately $66,000 in the 1996 nine months.

      Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

      Income tax benefit (expense) during the 1997 nine months increased $1.3
      million to a benefit of $1.2 million from an expense of approximately
      $66,000 in the 1996 nine months. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997,
      the Company reassessed the estimated amount of valuation allowance
      required in light of the funds received from the public offering to reduce
      deferred tax assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
      Standard No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes ("SFAS No. 109") to an
      amount the Company, after consultation with its independent accountants,
      believed appropriate. Accordingly, a credit to income tax benefit of $2.0
      million was reflected in the first quarter of fiscal 1997's Condensed
      Consolidated Statement of Operations and the corresponding deferred tax
      asset on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount
      of net deferred tax assets estimated to be recoverable was based upon the
      Company's assessment of the likelihood of near term operating income
      coupled with uncertainties with respect to the impact of future
      competitive and market conditions. No such income tax benefit was recorded
      in the 1996 nine months. The income tax benefit was partially offset by
      the Company's federal and state tax payments during the 1997 nine months.

      Net Income

      Net income during the 1997 nine months increased approximately 193.8%, or
      $7.4 million, to $11.2 million from $3.8 million in the 1996 nine months.
      The increase was primarily attributable to a 48.3% increase in sales
      volume, a 310 basis point increase in gross profit as a percentage of net
      sales, the decrease in selling, general and administrative as a percentage
      of net sales of 280 basis points and the recording of the $2.0 million
      income tax benefit in the 1997 nine months.

      LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      At March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996, the Company had cash equivalents and
      short-term investments of approximately $77.0 million and $8.0 million,
      respectively. The Company's working capital was $87.3 million and $12.4
      million at March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996, respectively. The increase in
      working capital is primarily attributable to the Company's public offering
      of $95.7 million before related expenses, income from operations of $7.3
      million, and funds received due to the exercise of stock options of $3.3
      million.


                                       12
<PAGE>   13
      At March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996, the Company had accounts receivable
      of $8.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. The increase in the
      Company's accounts receivable balance is primarily due to an increase in
      sales volume in the third quarter of fiscal 1997 as compared to the
      quarter ended June 30, 1996. The Company also began recording sales for
      LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R) on February 24, 1997 pursuant to a transition
      service agreement with F. Hoffman-La Roche, Ltd. The Company will receive
      payment for sales recorded during the March 31, 1997 quarter in April,
      1997.

      At March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1996, the Company had accounts payable
      balances of $4.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively. The increase in
      the Company's accounts payable balance is primarily due to inventory value
      associated with the Company's LIDEX(R), SYNALAR(R), AFIRM(TM) and
      BETA-LIFTX(TM) products.

      During fiscal 1997, the Company reassessed the estimated amount of
      valuation allowance required or necessary to reduce deferred tax assets
      available in accordance with SFAS No. 109 to an amount the Company, after
      consultation with its independent accounts, believed appropriate.
      Accordingly, a deferred tax asset of an additional $2.0 million was
      reflected in the consolidated balance sheet and a credit to deferred tax
      benefit of $2.0 million in the consolidated income statement. The amount
      of net deferred tax assets available that are estimated to be recoverable
      was based upon the Company's assessment of the likelihood of near-term
      operating income coupled with the uncertainties with respect to the impact
      of future competitive and market conditions. The amount of deferred tax
      asset available that ultimately will be realized will depend upon future
      events which are uncertain.

      On October 2, 1996, the Company completed a public offering for 2,775,000
      primary shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock at a price of $30.00
      per share. The underwriters also exercised the over allotment option of
      416,250 shares at a price of $30.00 per share. Gross proceeds from the
      offering before related expenses totaled approximately $95,737,500. The
      Company anticipates using the proceeds from the offering for marketing
      expenses associated with new product introductions, the licensing or
      acquisition of formulations, technologies, products or businesses,
      research and development, expansion of marketing and sales capabilities
      and general corporate purposes.

      In November 1996, the Company increased its credit facility with Norwest
      Bank Arizona, N.A. from $5 million to $25 million. The credit facility is
      secured by principal assets of the Company. The Company is required to
      comply with certain covenants and restrictions, including covenants
      relating to the Company's financial condition and result of operations.
      This credit facility has not been accessed by Medicis.

      In January 1997, the Company agreed to acquire the United States and
      Canadian dermatology assets of Syntex USA, Inc. from various affiliates of
      Syntex and its parent company, F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Ltd. The Company,
      using cash reserves, paid $28 million, and will pay an additional $3
      million under certain conditions, or less than 2.5 times sales over the
      past 12 months, for the purchased products. Medicis entered into four
      separate Asset Purchase Agreements with various Roche affiliates (the
      "Purchase Agreements") for the acquisition of the intellectual property
      rights, know-how and all finished goods inventory specifically associated
      with Syntex's topical corticosteroid dermatology products ("the Purchased
      Products") in the United States and Canada. The purchased products include
      the prescription


                                       13
<PAGE>   14
      topical steroid brands LIDEX(R) and SYNALAR(R). These topical
      corticosteroids combat inflammatory skin diseases by reducing swelling and
      pain, relieving itching, and constricting blood vessels in the skin. The
      product lines consist of various potencies and cosmetically elegant
      formulations, allowing dermatologists to prescribe the most appropriate
      product based on the severity and location of a patient's condition. Prior
      to the acquisition, the Company did not market any products in this
      category of dermatological care.

      On March 7, 1997, the Company announced that its Board of Directors had
      approved a 3-for-2 stock split to be effected in the form of a 50% stock
      dividend. The dividend was paid to holders of record of the Class A and
      Class B Common Stock and all stock option holders on March 17, 1997, i.e.,
      the record date. Holders of the Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock
      received one additional share of Common Stock for each two shares held.
      Similar adjustments will be made under the Company's Rights Agreement,
      dated as of August 15, 1995 (as amended from time-to-time) between the
      Company and Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., so that one additional right
      shall be issued to accompany each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to
      the dividend.
