                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)

              NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.  Historical:

The historical balances represent the results of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1995, the six months ended June 30, 1996 and the financial position
at December 31, 1995, as reported in the historical financial statements of
Sparta Pharmaceuticals, Inc.  (the "Company"),filed with the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

2.  Acquisition of Lexin Pharmaceutical Corporation

On March 15, 1996, the Company acquired the business and assets, and assumed
certain liabilities of Lexin Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Lexin"), for an
initial payment of 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.  The purchase
agreement provides for the issuance of up to an additional 600,000 shares of
Common Stock upon achievement of certain milestones related to the Lexin assets
acquired.  The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  The fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded based on the
carrying value for monetary and fixed assets with the remaining portion of the
purchase price ($3,062,913) allocated to in-process research and development
which was expensed.

Lexin had a fiscal year-end of June 30, and consequently the historical balances
contained in the pro forma balance sheet at December 31, 1995 and the pro forma
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the period
from January 1, 1996 to March 15, 1996 were derived from the unaudited financial
statements prepared by Lexin management.  The operations of Lexin ceased on
March 15, 1996.

The following pro forma adjustment was made to the pro forma statements of
operations to reflect the acquisition of Lexin as if the acquisition had
occurred on January 1, 1995:

(A) To eliminate the effect of a non-operating charge in the Lexin results of
operations related to the impairment of certain assets.  See Note 2 of the Notes
To Financial Statements included with the Lexin Pharmaceutical Corporation
Financial Statements as of June 30, 1995, filed pursuant to item 7(a) of this
report on Form 8-K/A.

(B) To eliminate the effect of a non-operating charge in the Sparta results of
operations related to the acquisition of Lexin during the first quarter of 1996.
