                                  INTRODUCTION


         This Amendment No. 2 to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on
Schedule 13E-3 is being filed as the Final Amendment with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") by Dura Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Dura") and
Spiros Development Corporation II, Inc. ("Spiros Corp. II") with respect to
the merger of Starfish Acquisition Corp., Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of
Dura, into Spiros Corp. II.

ITEM 15.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

         At the special meeting of stockholders of Spiros Corp. II held on
August 31, 2000, the stockholders of Spiros Corp. II approved the merger
agreement and the merger. None of the stockholders of Spiros Corp. II
perfected their dissenters' appraisal rights under Section 262 of the
Delaware General Corporation Law.

         On August 31, 2000, the merger became effective upon the filing with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Merger. As a
result of the merger, each share of callable common stock of Spiros Corp. II
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the merger (other than shares
held by Spiros Corp. II as treasury stock or Starfish Acquisition Corp.,
Inc., which were automatically cancelled and retired) was converted into the
right to receive $13.25 in cash and a five-year warrant with a calculated
value of $3.22 to purchase 0.19 shares of Dura common stock exercisable at
$17.94 per share. The total consideration to be paid under the merger
agreement will be approximately $106 million, or $16.47 per share of Spiros
Corp. II callable common stock.
