                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION
    ---------------------

Plan of Operations
- - ------------------

Since its inception the Company has generated no revenue from product sales.
The Company has not been profitable since inception and has incurred an
accumulated deficit of approximately $40,550,000 through March 31, 1996.  Losses
have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development
activities related to the Company's efforts to develop drug candidates and from
the associated administrative costs.  The Company expects to incur significant
additional operating losses over the next several years and expects cumulative
losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and development
efforts, preclinical and clinical testing and development of marketing, sales
and production capabilities.

Because of its continuing losses from operations, the Company will be required
to obtain additional funds in the short term to satisfy its ongoing capital
needs and to continue operations.  Although management continues to pursue
additional funding arrangements and/or strategic partnering there can be no
assurance that additional funding will be available from any of these sources
or, if available, will be available on acceptable or affordable terms.  If the
Company is unable to obtain financing on acceptable terms in order to maintain
operations through the next fiscal year, it could be forced to curtail or
discontinue its operations.  The financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The accompanying financial statements for the three month periods ended March
31, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited and have been prepared by the Company in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The interim financial
statements, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting
only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  The results of
operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results
of operations to be expected for the fiscal year.  These interim financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 1995, which are contained in the Company's 1995
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2.  STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
    --------------------

On February 14, 1996, the Company closed on a follow-on public offering.  The
Company received proceeds of $4,920,373 (net of underwriting discount and
underwriter's offering expenses) for the issuance of 2,200,000 shares of Common
Stock.  The Company incurred additional costs in the amount of $304,882 related
to this financing which were charged to additional paid-in capital in 1996.

On March 27, 1996, the underwriter in the follow-on offering partially exercised
its over allotment option related to the follow-on offering and on March 27,
1996 the Company issued and sold 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock.
This transaction resulted in net proceeds to the Company of $343,125.

3.  RESEARCH COLLABORATIONS
    -----------------------

Effective as of September 1, 1995, the Company's sponsored research agreement
with Sandoz Pharma Ltd. was amended to focus the research program on compounds
targeting CD4 and its ligand and to limit the research program with respect to
compounds that bind to CD2 and its ligand to certain screening activities being
conducted by Sandoz through the end of 1995.  In connection with this amendment,
the research and license fees due for the third year of the research program
were reduced from $5 million to $2.2 million.  Procept remains eligible to
receive $12 million in milestone payments as compounds discovered in these
research programs progress through clinical development. Procept recorded
$425,000 in revenue in the three month period ended March 31, 1996 under the
terms of this agreement.

In January 1996, Procept entered into a Sponsored Research Agreement with
VacTex, Inc. ("VacTex"), an entity created by a group of executives and
scientists from leading biotechnology companies and academic institutions to
provide research services relating to the development of novel vaccines based on
discoveries licensed from the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical
School.  These discoveries shed light on a previously unknown aspect of
immunology, the CD1 system of lipid antigen presentation.  Under the Sponsored
Research Agreement, Procept will conduct specified research tasks on behalf of
VacTex for which Procept will receive a combination of cash and equity in VacTex
based on the number of full-time equivalent employees of Procept engaged in the
research, but subject to maximum cash and stock limits.  Procept recorded
$75,000 in revenue in the three month period ended March 31, 1996 under the 
terms of this agreement.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Since its inception, the Company has generated no revenues from product sales.
The Company is dependent upon research and development collaborations, equity
financing and interest on invested funds to provide the working capital required
to pursue its intended business activities.  The Company has incurred an
accumulated deficit of approximately $40,550,000 through March 31, 1996.  Losses
have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development
activities related to the Company's efforts to develop drug candidates and from
the associated administrative costs.  The Company expects to incur significant
additional operating losses over the next several years and expects cumulative
losses to increase substantially due to expanded research and development
efforts, preclinical and clinical testing and development of marketing, sales
and production capabilities.

Three Months Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995

The Company's total revenues decreased to $552,000 in the first quarter of 1996
from $1,318,000 during the same period of 1995, principally as a result of an
amendment to the Sandoz Agreement.  In the first quarter of 1996, revenues
consisted of $425,000 earned under the Sandoz Agreement, $75,000 earned under
the VacTex Agreement and $52,000 in interest earned on invested funds.  In 1995,
first quarter revenues consisted of $1,000,000 earned under the Sandoz
Agreement, $29,000 earned under its now completed sponsored research agreement
with Bristol-Myers Squibb, $52,000 earned under The National Cooperative Drug
Discovery Group (NCDDG) Grant and $238,000 in interest earned on invested funds.

The Company's total operating expenses decreased to $3,634,000 in the first
quarter of 1996, from $4,160,000 during the same period in 1995.  Research and
development expenses decreased 11% to $2,828,000 in the first quarter of 1996
from $3,162,000 in the first quarter of 1995.  This expense decrease was due
primarily to a decrease in personnel in the Company's research and development
organization and their related research costs from the first quarter of 1995 to
the same period in 1996.  The 17% decrease in general and administrative
expenses during the first quarter of 1996 to $771,000 from $927,000 in the first
quarter of 1995 reflects a decrease in administrative personnel as well as a
lowering of most general and administrative expenses due to cost control
measures.  Interest expense decreased to $34,000 in the first quarter of 1996
from $71,000 in the first quarter of 1995 as a result of the increase in
principal payments under the Company's lease financing arrangements.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

At March 31, 1996, the Company's aggregate cash and cash equivalents were
$4,035,000, a net increase of $1,464,000 since December 31, 1995.  The increase
in cash is primarily attributable to the completion of the Company's follow-on
public offering of $5,116,000 offset by $3,431,000 used in operations,
principally to fund research and development activities, expenditures for
property and equipment of $60,000 and principal payments on capital lease
obligations of $245,000.

The Company expects that its current funds, in conjunction with the net proceeds
from its follow-on public offering completed on February 14, 1996, interest
income and equipment lease financing will be sufficient to fund Procept's
financial needs into the third quarter of 1996.  Although management continues
to pursue additional funding arrangements, no assurance can be given that such
financing will be available to the Company.  If the Company is unable to enter
into an additional corporate collaboration(s) that produce revenue for the
Company, or secure additional financing, the Company's financial condition will
be  materially adversely affected.

The Company's expectations regarding the sufficiency of its sources of cash over
future periods is a forward-looking statement.  The sufficiency of such
resources will be affected by numerous factors including the rate of planned and
unplanned expenditures by the Company and the timing of achievements of various
milestones in the Company's research and development programs.

The Company's working capital and other cash needs will depend heavily on the
success of the Company's clinical trials.  Success in early stage clinical
trials would lead to an increase in working capital requirements.  The Company's
actual cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of
results of research and development, clinical trials, product testing,
relationships with strategic partners, changes in the focus and direction of the
Company's research and development programs, competitive and technological
advances, the process of obtaining United States Food and Drug Administration or
other regulatory approvals and other factors.
