MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

Since its inception through September 30, 1996, the Company has incurred ongoing
losses from operations and has cumulative losses as of September 30, 1996
totaling $63,370,000.  To date, the Company has not recorded any revenues from
the sale of products.  Revenues recorded through September 30, 1996 were earned
in connection with contract research and the granting of certain short-term
rights.

The Company expects that research and development and sales and marketing
expenses will increase in connection with new product development and the
creation of the Company's sales and marketing organization.  Accordingly, the
Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable
future.

THREE AND NINE MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 AND 1996

Revenue of $1,500,000 in 1995 represents fees paid by a Japanese pharmaceutical
company for a short-term exclusive right among Japanese companies to review the
results of the Phase II dosing study of Colloral/R/. There was no revenue during
the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Research and development expenses were $3,314,000 and $7,414,000 for the three
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  Research and
development expenses were $11,245,000 and $17,392,000 for the nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The increase is due to the
advancement of clinical trial activity.

General and administrative expenses were $704,000 and $598,000 for the three
month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  General and
administrative expenses were $1,738,000 and $1,783,000 for the nine month
periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The change in general
and administrative expense is due primarily to personnel costs and the timing of
corporate activity.

Net interest income was $503,000 and $776,000 for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  Net interest income was $968,000 and
$2,412,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  The increase is due to a higher balance of cash available for
investment.

The net loss was $2,015,000 and $7,236,000 for the three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 and 1996, respectively.  The net loss was $10,515,000 and
$16,763,000 for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1996,
respectively.  The net loss per share increased from $0.15 for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 to $0.44 for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
The net loss per share increased from $0.84 for the nine months ended September
30, 1995 to $1.03 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The changes
reflect the continued increase in research and development activity levels
offset by a higher number of weighted average shares outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company 's needs for funds have increased from period to period as it has
increased the scope of its research and development activities.  Since
inception, the Company has funded these needs almost entirely through sales of
its equity securities.

The Company's working capital and capital requirements will depend on numerous
factors, including the progress of the Company's research and development
activities, the level of resources that the Company devotes to the development,
clinical, regulatory and marketing aspects of its products, the extent to which
it proceeds, if at all, by means of collaborative relationships with
pharmaceutical companies and its competitive environment.  Based upon its
current plans, the Company believes that current cash and marketable securities
and the interest earned from the investment thereof, will be sufficient to meet
the Company's operating expenses and capital requirements through the filing of
the Company's Product License Application for its lead product.  Thereafter, the
Company will need to raise substantial additional capital to fund its
operations.  The Company intends to seek such additional funding through public
or private equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements with
pharmaceutical companies or from other sources.  If adequate funds are not
available, the Company will have to reduce certain areas of research, product
development, manufacturing or marketing activity, or otherwise modify its
business strategy, and its business will be materially adversely affected.

In order to preserve principal and maintain liquidity, the Company's funds are
invested in U.S. Treasury obligations and other short-term instruments.  As of
December 31, 1995, and September 30, 1996, the Company's cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities totaled $70,453,000 and $55,901,000,
respectively.  Current liabilities at December 31, 1995, and September 30, 1996
were $1,994,000 and $4,688,000, respectively.
