                                   (Unaudited)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.

     The  balance  sheet  at  March  31,  1996  and the  related  statements  of
operations  for the three  month  periods  ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
period from  inception  (May 3, 1990) through  March 31, 1996 and  statements of
cash flows for the three  month  periods  ended  March 31, 1996 and 1995 and the
period from inception (May 3, 1990) through March 31, 1996 are unaudited.  These
interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the December 31,
1995 financial  statements and related notes.  The unaudited  interim  financial
statements  reflect all  adjustments  which are,  in the opinion of  management,
necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods  presented and
all such adjustments are of a normal recurring  nature.  Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

Net Loss Per Share
     Net loss per share is  computed  based on the  weighted  average  shares of
common stock outstanding for the period.

Patent Costs
     The Company reimburses the University of Florida Research Foundation,  Inc.
(UFRI),  for direct  expenses  relating to the Company's  patents.  Patent costs
consist of legal fees and other  direct  costs  incurred in  obtaining  patents.
These  costs are  charged to  research  and  development  expense or general and
administrative expense when incurred.

Research and Development
        Sponsored  research  revenue is  recognized as revenue when the payments
are  received  and the research  has been  performed.  Research and  development
expenses are charged to  operations  when  incurred.  Research  and  development
expenses include, among other things, consulting fees and cost reimbursements to
UFRI.


2. STATUS OF FINANCINGS

     In April 1996,  the Company  received  notice from The Nasdaq  Stock Market
(Nasdaq) that the Company's  total assets and capital and surplus as of December
31, 1995,  did not meet the minimum  requirements  for continued  listing on the
Small Cap Market and that the Company's  Common  Stock,  Warrants and Units were
subject to delisting.  Nasdaq requested that the Company provide a specific plan
demonstrating  how the Company will achieve  ongoing  compliance  with  Nasdaq's
minimum requirements of $2,000,000 of total assets and $1,000,000 of capital and
surplus.  The Company provided a plan to Nasdaq which  contemplates cash inflows
to the Company  through the private  placement of equity and other sources in an
amount  sufficient to bring the Company into  compliance  by June 15, 1996,  the
date  established by Nasdaq for final  determination.  The expected cash inflows
include  the  $1,000,000  milestone  payment  due  from  Warner-Lambert  at  the
successful  completion  of the  Phase 1 cancer  trials.  The  Company  is in the
process of commencing the private placement and expects to close on a sufficient
amount by the June 15, 1996 date established by Nasdaq for compliance. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising  sufficient funds
through the sale of equity or that the  Warner-Lambert  payment will be received
by such date.  In the event that the  Company's  securities  are  delisted,  the
market value of such securities may be adversely affected.

Item 2. Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of  Operations.  The Quarterly  Report on Form 10-QSB  contains  forward-looking
statements  within the meaning of Section 27A of the  Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934. Actual results could differ
materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements as a result of
a number of important factors.  For a discussion of important factors that could
affect the Company's results, please refer to the discussions below. Readers are
also encouraged to refer to the Company's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10- KSB for
further  discussion  of the Company's  business and the risks and  opportunities
attendant thereto.

Overview

     Since its inception in May 1990, SunPharm has devoted  substantially all of
its efforts and  resources  to research  and  development  conducted  on its own
behalf and through collaborations with clinical institutions. The Company's drug
development  strategy  emphasizes  conducting  most of its research and clinical
activities at the University of Florida. Consequently, the Company believes that
its research and development  expenditures have been lower than other comparable
development stage pharmaceutical  companies. The Company has incurred cumulative
net losses of $9,413,484 from its inception  through March 31, 1996. The Company
expects to incur additional  significant  operating losses for at least the next
several years principally as a result of its continuing anticipated research and
development and clinical trials expenditures.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 and 1996

     The Company did not receive any licensing or milestone  payments during the
three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1996.

     The Company's  research and  development  expenses  decreased  $28,000 from
$366,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $338,000 in the  comparable
1996  period.   These  expenses  consisted  of  expenditures  for  research  and
development  conducted by Dr.  Bergeron at the University of Florida and for the
cost of human clinical trials.  The Company expects its research and development
expenses to  increase  during 1996 and 1997,  reflecting  anticipated  increased
expenses related to ongoing research,  preclinical studies and Phase I and Phase
II human clinical trials.

     General and administrative  expenses decreased from $1,187,000 in the three
months  ended  March 31, 1995 to $333,000 in the  comparable  1996  period.  The
decrease is primarily  attributable  to issuance costs of $775,000  ($600,000 of
which were non-cash  costs)  incurred in connection with the issuance in 1994 of
the 10%  Convertible  Secured  Notes,  which  were  expensed  in 1995  upon  the
repayment  of such  notes and other  costs  incurred  in the 1995  period  which
related to the Company's initial public offering.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Since its  inception,  the Company has  financed its  operations  primarily
through  collaborative  research and  sublicense  agreements  with its strategic
alliance  partners  and the  issuance  of debt and  equity  securities.  Through
December 31, 1995 the Company had received  $1,885,000 of  cumulative  sponsored
research and sublicensing revenues, approximately $1,000,000 in consideration of
the private placement of equity  securities,  and $1,697,500 in consideration of
the placement of debt securities.  On January 12, 1995, the Company completed an
initial public  offering (the  "Offering") of 1,100,000  units ("Unit") at $7.00
per Unit. Each Unit consists of one share of the Company's  Common Stock and one
Redeemable Common Stock Purchase Warrant ("Warrant"),  which entitles the holder
to  purchase  one share of Common  Stock at $8.75 per  share.  Additionally,  on
February  16,  1995,  the  Representative  exercised  an option to  purchase  an
additional  165,000  Units at $7.00 per Unit.  Proceeds  from the Offering  were
approximately $7,200,000 of cash, net of underwriting costs and

                                        7

<PAGE>



other  Offering  costs  of  $1,655,000.  Of  such  net  proceeds,  approximately
$1,793,000 was used to repay the  outstanding  indebtedness  (including  accrued
interest and certain fees) of the Company.

     During the period  ended  March 31,  1996,  the net cash used in  operating
activities  was  $509,000.  During  the  comparable  1995  period,  cash used by
operating activities was $1,730,000.  The decrease in cash used in operations is
primarily attributable to the payment in the 1995 period of $700,000 of accounts
payable  and  $210,000  of  royalties  both of  which  were  delayed  until  the
completion of the Company's  initial  public  offering.  At March 31, 1996,  the
Company had cash and cash equivalents of $1,084,000. The Company had net working
capital of  approximately  $206,000 at March 31, 1996.  The Company will require
substantial  funds for research and  development  performed by the University of
Florida and to perform  preclinical testing and clinical trials of its potential
products.

     In April 1996,  the Company  received  notice from The Nasdaq  Stock Market
(Nasdaq) that the Company's  total assets and capital and surplus as of December
31, 1995,  did not meet the minimum  requirements  for continued  listing on the
Small Cap Market and that the Company's  Common  Stock,  Warrants and Units were
subject to delisting.  Nasdaq requested that the Company provide a specific plan
demonstrating  how the Company will achieve  ongoing  compliance  with  Nasdaq's
minimum requirements of $2,000,000 of total assets and $1,000,000 of capital and
surplus.  The Company provided a plan to Nasdaq which  contemplates cash inflows
to the Company  through the private  placement of equity and other sources in an
amount  sufficient to bring the Company into  compliance  by June 15, 1996,  the
date  established by Nasdaq for final  determination.  The expected cash inflows
include  the  $1,000,000  milestone  payment  due  from  Warner-Lambert  at  the
successful  completion  of the  Phase 1 cancer  trials.  The  Company  is in the
process of commencing the private placement and expects to close on a sufficient
amount by the June 15, 1996 date established by Nasdaq for compliance. There can
be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising  sufficient funds
through the sale of equity or that the  Warner-Lambert  payment will be received
by such date.  In the event that the  Company's  securities  are  delisted,  the
market value of such securities may be adversely affected.

The Company has incurred  losses since  inception and,  therefore,  has not been
subject to federal  income taxes.  As of December 31, 1995,  the Company had net
operating loss ("NOL") and tax credit  carryforwards  for income tax purposes of
approximately $6,458,000 and $260,000,  respectively,  which may be available to
reduce future taxable  income and future tax  liabilities.  These  carryforwards
begin to expire  in 2008.  The Tax  Reform  Act of 1986  provides  for an annual
limitation  on the  use of  NOL  and  credit  carryforwards  (following  certain
ownership  changes)  that could  significantly  limit the  Company's  ability to
utilize these  carryforwards.  The Company has made no determination  concerning
whether  there has been such a cumulative  change in  ownership.  It is possible
that  such a change  in  ownership  occurred  following  the  completion  of the
Offering   and   exercise  of  the   Representative's   over-allotment   option.
Accordingly,  the Company's ability to utilize the aforementioned  carryforwards
to  reduce  future   taxable  income  and  tax   liabilities   may  be  limited.
Additionally,  because  United States tax laws limit the time during which these
carryforwards  may be applied against future taxes,  the Company may not be able
to take full advantage of these attributes for federal income tax purposes.

     On December 20, 1995,  Dean L. Rider,  M.D., a stockholder  of the Company,
filed suit  against the  Company and Stefan Borg in Superior  Court for the City
and County of San Francisco,  California,  seeking  compensatory damages of over
$41  million  and  punitive  damages  based  upon an alleged  agreement  between
SunPharm and Dr. Rider.  Dr.  Rider's  claims include a claim for fraud by false
promise and a claim for breach of express contract,  among others, and center on
his  allegation  that he disclosed  the idea to use DEHOP to treat AIDS patients
suffering  from  chronic  diarrhea in exchange for certain  alleged  promises of
compensation and involvement in the clinical trials.  An unsuccessful  mediation
was held in February  1996 to attempt to amicably  settle the  dispute,  and the
parties  are now  engaged  in  discovery.  The case has been moved to the United
States  District  Court for the  Northern  District of  California.  The Company
believes that the claims are without merit and intends to vigorously  defend the
lawsuit. The Company has established an accrual for legal fees to be incurred in
connection with this litigation.
