Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On November 4, 1996, the Company acquired the New Drug
Application and U.S. trademark for Ethamolin Injection (the
"Ethamolin Assets") and the finished goods inventory on hand
at closing from Schwarz Pharma, Inc., a Delaware
corporation.  The acquisition was accomplished in an arm's
length negotiation through a purchase of assets and
accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.  The
total purchase price was $3,286,642, of which the Company
paid $2,086,642 in cash and issued a $1,200,000 note bearing
interest at 8% per annum at closing.  The principal and
accrued interest on the note are due and payable on November
3, 1997.  Repayment of the principal and interest on the
note is secured by the Ethamolin Assets.  The Company used
its working capital to make the cash payment at closing.

Report of Ernst & Young LLP, Independent Auditors


Board of Directors and Shareholders
Schwarz Pharma, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets
acquired of the Schwarz Pharma, Inc. Ethamolin Product Line
(the Product Line) as of July 31, 1996, and the related
statement of operating revenue and expenses directly related
to the acquired business, for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Product
LineOs management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for our opinion.

As described in Note 2, these financial statements were
prepared solely to present the assets acquired by Cypros
Pharmaceutical Corporation pursuant to a product line
purchase agreement and are not intended to be a complete
presentation of the Product Line's assets, operating
revenues and expenses.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the assets
acquired of the Product Line at July 31, 1996, and its
operating revenue and its expenses directly related to the
acquired business for the year then ended.

Ethamolin is a product being distributed by Schwarz Pharma, Inc.,
a Delaware Corporation. Ethamolin is an acute-care injectable
drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the
treatment of bleeding esophageal varices.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with
Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X
for acquired businesses not accounted for as a separate product
line by the previous owner. Accordingly, the statement of assets
acquired reflects only those assets purchased and does not
include allocations for such items as intangible property,
accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt. The statement of
operating revenue and expenses directly related to the acquired
business does not include allocations for overhead, selling and
general administration expenses, interest expense and income
taxes.

Inventory

Inventory consists entirely of finished goods and is valued at
the lower of first-in, first-out cost or market value.

3. Significant Customers

In 1996, approximately 84% of net sales was to three customers.

4. Subsequent Events

Cypros Pharmaceutical Corporation, including all inventory on
hand as of that date.
