              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.     BASIS OF PRESENTATION

       The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as
of September 30, 1996 and for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The
results of operations for the interim period ended September 30, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year.

       The financial statements presented as of December 31, 1995 are derived
from the audited financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K (file number 0-19193).

       Cambridge NeuroScience, Inc. (the "Company") is engaged in the
development of proprietary pharmaceuticals to prevent, reduce or reverse damage
caused by severe disorders and injuries of the nervous system.

2.     RECLASSIFICATIONS

       Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the 1996
presentation.

3.     LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

       Net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of
common shares outstanding during each of the periods. Common equivalent shares
from stock options are excluded as their effect is antidilutive.

4.     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUE, NET

       Under the Company's agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH ("BI"), the
Company is obligated to fund approximately 25% of the development expenses for
CERESTAT(1) in the United States and Europe. Research and development revenue
represents reimbursement of the excess of the Company's expenditures over its
obligation pursuant to the agreement. The Company accounts for research and
development revenue using the percentage of completion method, based on the
relationship between estimated costs incurred to date compared with total
estimated costs for the year. Total estimated costs for the year are reviewed
quarterly and revenue earned in the current period is adjusted for the impact of
revisions to the estimated reimbursable costs. Therefore, revenue earned may
fluctuate on a quarterly basis. Payments received in advance of research and
development performed are designated as research and development advances.

5.       ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
121 ("SFAS 121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of impairment
are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those
assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS 121 also addresses the
accounting for long-lived assets that are expected to be disposed of. The
adoption of SFAS 121 had no impact on the financial position or results of
operations of the Company as no indicators of impairment currently exist.

          The Company has elected to adopt the disclosure provisions only of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, and will continue to follow APB 25 and related interpretations in
accounting for its employee stock plans.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Revenues
       Research and development revenue, net, was $151,000 in the third quarter
of 1996, compared to $1.3 million in the same period in 1995. The collaboration
agreement with BI generally provides that BI will fund 75% of the total
development costs incurred by both parties. Revenue recognized represents the
excess of the Company's expenditures over its obligation under the agreement
(see Note 4 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). The decrease in
revenue in the third quarter of 1996 compared to 1995 reflects a change in the
relative spending of the parties to the agreement, primarily relating to the
commencement of a pivotal stroke trial by BI, and will continue to fluctuate on
a quarterly basis.

Operating Expenses
       Total operating expenses for the three month period ended September 30,
1996 were $4.0 million, compared to $4.3 million in the same period in 1995.
Research and development expenses decreased by $294,000, or 8%, to $3.4 million,
compared to $3.7 million in 1995. This reflects a decrease in nonclinical
studies associated with the Company's lead product candidate, CERESTAT, offset
in part by an increase in costs associated with higher headcount, primarily to
support development activities. The Company expects to incur increasing costs
associated with these clinical trials, as patient enrollment accelerates.

       General and administrative expenses increased $56,000, or 10%, to
$635,000 in the third quarter of 1996, compared to $579,000 in the same period
in 1995. This increase reflects an increase in headcount and associated costs,
primarily in support of the Company's business development activities.

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

Interest Income
       Interest income for the third quarter 1996 was $282,000, compared to
$202,000 in 1995. This increase is due to an increase in cash available for
investment as a result of the two stock offerings in the fourth quarter of 1995
and a second equity investment by BI in September 1996.

Net Loss Per Share
       The net loss for the third quarter of 1996 was $3.6 million, or $0.26 per
share, compared to $2.8 million, or $0.23 per share, in 1995. The increase in
net loss is due to a decrease in research and development revenue, as noted
above. Offsetting this increase in part, is the increase in weighted average
shares outstanding as a result of the stock offerings in the fourth quarter of
1995 as well as the equity purchase by BI in the beginning of September 1996.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

Revenues
       Research and development revenue, net, was $1.9 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $7.0 million in the same period in
1995. Research and development revenue in 1995 included $4.7 million,
representing an up-front reimbursement of previously incurred CERESTAT costs,
which was received upon the signing of the BI collaboration agreement in March
1995. Of the total research and development revenue, revenue relating to current
period spending was $1.9 million in 1996, compared to $2.3 million in 1995. This
decrease of $400,000 is due to the fact that spending by BI is increasing as a
percentage of the total amount spent by both companies.

Operating Expenses
       Operating expenses decreased $475,000, or 4%, to $11.6 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, compared to $12.1 million for the same
period in 1995. Research and development expenses decreased $664,000, or 6%, to
$9.7 million, compared to $10.4 million in 1995, primarily as a result of a
decrease in nonclinical development costs associated with CERESTAT. Offsetting
this decrease in part, was an increase in nonclinical study costs associated
with another of the Company's product programs as well as an increase in costs
associated with higher headcount, primarily in support of development
activities.

       General and administrative expenses increased by $189,000, or 11%, due to
an increase in costs associated with higher headcount, primarily in support of
the Company's business development activities.

Interest Income
       Interest income for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was
$822,000, compared to $499,000 in the same period in 1995. This increase
reflects the higher cash balances available for investment primarily as a result
of the two stock offerings in the fourth quarter of 1995 and a second equity
investment by BI in September 1996.

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

Net Loss Per Share
       The net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 1996 was $8.9
million, or $0.65 per share, compared to $4.6 million, or $0.39 per share, in
the same period in 1995. This increase in net loss per share is due primarily to
the decrease in research and development revenue, offset by an increase in
weighted average shares outstanding as a result of the stock offerings in the
fourth quarter of 1995 and the second equity investment by BI in September 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

       Cash and cash equivalents were $27.3 million at September 30, 1996,
compared to $21.9 million at December 31, 1995. Pursuant to the terms of the
collaboration agreement and in connection with the commencement of the pivotal
stroke trial by BI, the Company received a milestone payment in September 1996
of $10.0 million, before related costs of $300,000, in exchange for 1,237,624
shares of the Company's common stock. Additionally, in 1996 the Company received
$6.8 million in advances against reimbursable expenses pursuant to the BI
collaboration. In the nine month period ended September 30, 1996, the Company
used $11.0 million for operating purposes.

       The Company and BI began two large clinical trials in 1996. These trials
are expected to involve approximately 1,600 patients and are expected to result
in an increase in the Company's consumption of capital. The cost of both trials
will be shared by the partners in accordance with the terms of the collaboration
agreement. The Company's obligation relative to this sharing of costs is
generally 25% of total costs incurred by both parties, excluding development
costs for Japan which will be borne solely by BI. Any costs incurred in excess
of one party's contractual obligation will be reimbursed by the other party. The
cash reimbursement and the revenue earned are subject to each party's relative
expenditures and therefore may fluctuate on a quarterly basis. The agreement
provides that BI will advance cash to the Company on a quarterly basis in the
event that it is expected that the Company will spend more than obligated under
the agreement (25% of total amount spent by both parties). Due to the
uncertainty associated with the annual estimate of spending by both companies
and the timing of the relative spending, the amount and timing of advances from
BI is uncertain. It is expected that as more patients enroll in these trials,
total costs and the costs borne by the Company will increase. The Company
expects to incur significant expenses related to these trials for the remainder
of 1996 and in 1997 and thereafter, subject to the cost sharing arrangement
discussed above.

       The Company believes that the existing cash and cash equivalents
available at September 30, 1996 will be sufficient to maintain operations at
least through the third quarter of 1997. The BI collaboration also provides that
the Company may receive up to an additional $18 million in cash upon the
achievement of certain milestones. However, there can be no assurance as to when
or if these milestones will be achieved.

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

         The Company's primary expenditures are expected to be in the areas of
research and development, general and administrative expenses, and capital
expenditures. The Company will require substantial additional funds for its
research and product development programs, pursuing regulatory clearances,
establishing production, sales and marketing capabilities and other operating
expenses. Despite the potential future milestone payments under the BI
agreements, adequate funds for these purposes may not be available when needed
on terms acceptable to the Company. Insufficient funds may require the Company
to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of its research and product
development programs or to license third parties to commercialize products or
technologies that the Company might otherwise undertake itself.

          The Company does not believe that inflation has had a material impact
on its results of operations.

          The discussion contained in this section as well as elsewhere in this
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain forward-looking statements based on
the current expectations of the Company's management. There are certain
important factors that could cause results to differ from those anticipated by
the statements made herein, including, but not limited to: the continued funding
of the Company's development program for CERESTAT by BI pursuant to the BI
collaboration agreement; the rate of enrollment of patients in the Company's
current and future clinical trials; the Company's ability to establish and
maintain collaborative arrangements with third parties; technical risks
associated with the development of new products; and the competitive environment
of the biotechnology industry. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance
on these forward looking statements which speak only as of the date hereof.
