(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying financial statements of NPS Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("NPS" 
or the "Company") are unaudited, except as specifically noted. The financial 
statements reflect all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring 
adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present 
fairly the financial position and results of operations for the interim 
periods presented. The results of operations for the three month period ended 
March 31,1996, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected 
for the full year. The financial information included herein should be read 
in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1995 which 
includes the audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year 
ended December 31, 1995.

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

    Since its inception in 1986, NPS has devoted substantially all of its
resources to its research and development programs.  To date, the Company has
not developed any pharmaceutical products for sale and has incurred substantial
losses. NPS has incurred cumulative losses through March 31, 1996, of $10.7
million net of cumulative revenues from research and license agreements of $36.8
million. The Company expects to incur significant operating losses over at least
the next several years as the Company continues and expands its research and
development and preclinical and clinical testing activities. Substantially all
of the Company's revenues are derived from license fees, milestone payments and
research support payments from its licensees and collaborators, and these
revenues fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Accordingly, the Company expects
that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that such fluctuations
may be substantial. The Company's ability to achieve profitability depends in
part on its ability, alone and/or with others, to complete development of its
proposed products, to obtain required regulatory approvals and to manufacture
and market such products, as to which matters there can be no assurance.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Revenues were $14.5 million for the first quarter of 1996 compared to
$924,000 for the first quarter of 1995. The increase in revenues was primarily
due to the receipt by NPS of a $10.0 million non-refundable license fee from
Amgen Inc. ("Amgen") following the execution and closing of a definitive
agreement for Amgen to develop and commercialize NPS's Norcalcin-TM- and other
compounds for the treatment of hyperparathyroidism ("HPT") worldwide except in
parts of Asia (the "Amgen Agreement"). Revenues also increased in the first
quarter due to receipt by the Company of a $3.0 million milestone payment under
the terms of an agreement with SmithKline Beecham Corporation ("SmithKline
Beecham")  in the field of osteoporosis. The license fee and milestone payments
are non-recurring.

    Research and development expenses were $3.2 million compared to $1.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. The
increase was primarily due to the ongoing clinical trials for Norcalcin in
early 1996 and increased activity in each of the Company's principal research
and development projects. Although Amgen has assumed responsibility for
conducting and funding all future development costs of Norcalcin under the Amgen
Agreement, the Company's research and development expenses are expected to
increase significantly in the future as NPS conducts clinical trials for other
product candidates and as more research and development personnel are hired.

    General and administrative expenses increased to $1.3 million for the three
months ended March 31,1996, from $866,000 in the comparable period of 1995. The
increase was primarily due to costs incurred in finalizing the agreement with
Amgen and costs incurred in preparing for a secondary offering of the Company'
common stock for which a registration statement on Form S-1 was filed with the
SEC in March 1996. The Company expects that general and administrative expenses
will continue to increase in the future as a result of increased activity by the
Company in business development, investor relations, and legal affairs, and as
more personnel and facilities are needed to support research and development
activities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily through 
collaborative research and license agreements and the private and public 
placement of equity securities. As of March 31,1996, the Company had 
recognized approximately $36.8 million of cumulative revenues from research 
and license agreements and approximately $35.9 million as consideration for 
the placement of equity securities. The Company's principal sources of 
liquidity are its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable investment 
securities which totaled $26.3 million at March 31, 1996. Subsequent to the 
end of the quarter the Company completed an offering of 3.45 million shares 
of its common  stock with net proceeds to the Company of approximately $48.4 
million (includes proceeds from the exercise of the underwriters' 
over-allotment).

    The Company receives quarterly payments under its agreements with the
pharmaceutical division of Kirin Brewery Company, Limited, ("Kirin") and
SmithKline Beecham to support the Company's research efforts in HPT and
osteoporosis, respectively.  The Kirin payments are $500,000 per quarter through
June 1996 and a total of $5.0 million

<PAGE>

over the remaining four years of the research term of the agreement. The
SmithKline Beecham payments are estimated to be an aggregate of $3.9 million
through the scheduled expiration of the agreement in October 1996, of which $2.3
million had been received by March 31, 1996. Amgen will reimburse the Company up
to $400,000 per year for a period not to exceed five years for certain costs
which may be incurred by the Company in the development of Norcalcin in the
Amgen territory, with such participation occuring under the direction of Amgen.
The Company could receive additional payments of up to $56.0 million in the
aggregate from Amgen, Kirin, and SmithKline Beecham upon the accomplishment of
specified research and/or development milestones under the respective
agreements. Each of these agreements may be terminated before the scheduled
expiration date by the respective licensee and, therefore, no assurance can be
given that any future milestone or research or development support payments will
be received thereunder.

    Under its agreements with The Brigham and Women's Hospital, Inc. 
("Brigham and Women's"), the Company is obligated to pay an aggregate of 
$810,000 to Brigham and Women's from February 1996 through February 1998, of 
which $100,000 had been paid by March 31, 1996. Additional payments may be 
required upon the accomplishment of certain research milestones by Brigham 
and Women's.

    As of March 31, 1996, the Company's net investment in leasehold
improvements, equipment and furnishings was approximately $2.3 million. The
Company has financed a portion of such expenditures through capital leases and
long-term debt with a total principal obligation of approximately $1.3 million
as of March 31, 1996. Additional equipment and facilities will be needed as the
Company increases its research and development activities, a portion of which
may be financed with debt. Equipment and leasehold improvements subject to the
capital leases and the long-term debt have been pledged in support of the
leasehold obligations.

    The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources, including
interest earned thereon and expected research and development support payments
from its licensees will be sufficient to enable it to maintain its current and
planned operations through at least 1997. However, actual needs are dependent on
numerous factors, including the progress of the Company's research and
development programs, the magnitude and scope of these activities, progress with
preclinical and clinical trials, the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting,
maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights,
competing technological and market developments, changes in or terminations of
existing research and license arrangements, the establishment of additional
license arrangements and the cost of manufacturing scale-up and development of
marketing activities, if undertaken by the Company. Substantial expenditures
will be required to conduct preclinical studies and clinical trials, manufacture
or have manufactured and market products other than Norcalcin from current
research and development efforts and perform research and development activities
in additional areas. In addition, if Amgen terminates its agreement to develop
and commercialize Norcalcin in its territory, the Company may not have
sufficient capital to complete the development and commercialization of
Norcalcin in Amgen's territory.

    NPS may need to raise additional funds to support its long-term product
development and commercialization programs. The Company also intends to seek
additional funding through corporate collaborations and licensing agreements and
the Company may seek additional funding through public or private financing.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on
acceptable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available, the Company
may be required to delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of its
research and development programs or to obtain funds through arrangements with
licensees or others that may require the Company to relinquish rights to certain
of its technologies, product candidates or products that the Company may
otherwise seek to develop or commercialize on its own.
