CYPROS PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business Activity

Cypros Pharmaceutical Corporation (the "Company") is engaged in
the development and marketing of acute-care, hospital-based
products.  Through July 31, 1995, the Company was considered to
be in the development stage.  In connection with the acquisitions
of Glofil and Inulin, two injectable renal diagnostic products,
on August 9, 1995, the Company commenced product sales and became
an operating company.

The Company's pre-clinical and clinical development programs
focus on cytoprotective drugs designed to reduce ischemia (low
blood flow) induced tissue damage in acute-care settings.  The
Company's two clinical programs are currently in six Phase II
trials, which include four for CPC-111 (acute complications of
angioplasty, coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, congestive
heart failure and sickle cell anemia crises), and two for CPC-211
(stroke and head injury).

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements for the three months ended
October 31, 1996 and 1995 have been prepared on the same basis as
the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended
July 31, 1996 and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for the fair presentation of the results of
the interim periods presented.  Results for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
year.

For more complete financial information, these financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and the related notes thereto for the year
ended July 31, 1996 included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K.

The Company has experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in
operating results and increases in expenses and losses since
inception and it expects these fluctuations, expenses and losses
will continue.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out
method) or market and is comprised of raw materials of $24,663
and finished goods of $41,054.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product sales of whole vials of Glofil and Inulin
are recognized upon shipment.  Revenues from Glofil unit sales
are recognized upon receipt by the Company of monthly sales
reports from Syncor, the exclusive marketing agent for Glofil in
this form. The Company is not obligated to accept returns of
products sold that have reached their expiration date.

Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the periods.

Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to
conform with the 1996 presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported
in the financial statements and disclosures made in the
accompanying notes to the financial statements.  Actual results
could differ from those estimates.

2. Subsequent Event

On November 4, 1996, the Company acquired the New Drug
Application, the U.S. trademark for Ethamolinr 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.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the
following discussion contains forward-looking statements that
involve risks and uncertainties, including statements regarding
the period of time during which the Company's existing capital
resources and income from various sources will be adequate to
satisfy its capital requirements. The Company's actual results
could differ materially from those discussed herein. Factors that
could cause or contribute to such differences include but are not
limited to, those discussed in this section, as well as in the
sections entitled "Business", "Licenses", "Manufacturing", "Sales
and Marketing", "Competition", "Government Regulation", "Patents
and Proprietary Rights"of the Company's Annual Report (Form 10-K)
for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1996 and those discussed in
the S-3 Registration Statement File No. 333-3507 filed with U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as those discussed in
any documents incorporated by reference herein or therein..

[The Company was founded in 1990, commenced its research and
development activities in 1991, completed an initial public
offering (the "IPO") in November 1992, commenced clinical trials
in December 1994 and acquired two FDA-cleared products, Glofil
and Inulin, in August 1995. The Company has sustained an
accumulated deficit of $12,091,231 from inception through October
31, 1996. As the Company will not have significant positive net
operating cash flow for the next few years and the Company's
sales and marketing, research and development, clinical testing
and regulatory and general and administrative expenses during
these years will be substantial and increasing, the Company
expects to incur increasing losses for the foreseeable future.]

Results of Operations

[During the fiscal quarter ended October 31, 1996, the Company
sustained a loss of $1,608,999 (or $.14 per share) compared to a
loss of $640,480 (or $.06 per share) for the prior-year quarter.
Sales for the current quarter were $367,131, a 63% increase over
the $224,728 in sales reported in the prior-year quarter. Sales
and marketing expense increased by 332% to $162,456 in the
current quarter due to increased payroll expense related to
additional field sales representatives, their travel and related
expense and increased promotional expense.]

General and administrative expense increased by 50% to $756,962
in the current quarter. While increases were recorded in payroll,
rent (related to leasing the Company's new executive offices),
investor relations, business development and travel related to
investor relations and business development, a one-time payment
of $100,000 to a financial advisor accounted for nearly 40% of
the increase.

During the current quarter, research grant income decreased by
36% to $47,400, as a result of the Phase II SBIR Grant for the
Company's NCCB program coming to an end.

In addition, net interest and other income for the current
quarter increased by 51% to $284,496 during the prior-year
quarter due principally to the interest income from a larger
investment portfolio.

[During the current quarter, the Company recognized $676,515 of
expense related to the amortization of (i) the discount available
upon conversion of the $8 million in principal amount of
mandatorily convertible notes issued in three private placements
between April and July of 1996 and (ii) the deferred financing
costs related to these placements.]

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company  has  principally funded its  activities to date
through its initial public offering ("IPO") in November 1992, in
which it raised net proceeds of $5,951,000, subsequent exercises
of its Redeemable Class A Warrants in 1994 and early 1995, which
raised $10,497,000, exercises by the underwriter of the IPO of
its unit purchase options (and the Redeemable Class A Warrants
within such options), which raised $1,681,000, that it had
received as part of its compensation for the IPO, and two private
placements of mandatorily convertible notes during July 1996,
which raised $7,000,000. through the issuance of 1,150,000 units,
each comprising a share of Common Stock, a Redeemable Class A
Warrant ("Class A Warrant") and a Redeemable Class B Warrant
("Class B Warrant").  In October 1993, the Company received
proceeds of $725,625 from the exercise of "bridge" warrants for
537,500 shares of Common Stock (the "Bridge Warrant Exercise")
which had been issued in connection with a bridge loan to the
Company prior to the IPO.

From December 1993 to March 1994, the Company conducted a
special program designed to encourage holders of  Class A
Warrants to exercise their warrants immediately (the "Class A
Warrant Program") in order to provide the Company with additional
working capital prior to commencing clinical testing. The holders
of the Class A Warrants were offered one-half of a  Class B
Warrant and 1.175 shares of Common Stock upon exercise of each
Class A Warrant at an adjusted price of $9.253 (equal to 117.5%
of the original exercise price of $7.875). This program resulted
in the Company's receipt of net proceeds of $2,355,123 from the
exercise of 258,831 Class A Warrants and the Company's issuance
of 304,123 shares of Common Stock and 129,414 Class B Warrants.

At October 31, 19964, the Company had cash, cash equivalents
and short-term investments of $14,945,124, compared to
$15,997,049, compared to $4,444,259 at July 31, 19936. Bridge
Warrant Exercise and the At October 31, 1996, working capital was
$14,634,578, compared  to $15,384,449, compared to $4,311,350 at
July 31, 19963.

The Company expects that its cash needs will increase
significantly in future periods due to expansion of research and
development programs, increased clinical testing activity, growth
of administrative,  clinical and laboratory staff and expansion
of facilities to accommodate increased numbers of employees. The
Company's management believes that the Company's working capital
will be sufficient to fund the operations of the Company for more
than two years dependent, in part, on the timing of the
commencement of each phase of the clinical trials on CPC-111 and
CPC-211 and the funding priorities that it gives its various
research programs, the results of clinical tests and research
programs; competing technological and market developments; the
time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals and in
obtaining, maintaining and enforcing patents; the cost of product
acquisitions and their resulting cash flows and other factors.

The Company is funding a significant portion of its operating
expenses through cash flow from product sales, but expects to
seek additional funds through exercises of its currently
outstanding options and warrants, public or private equity
financings, collaborations or from other sources. There can be no
assurance that additional funds can be obtained on desirable
terms or at all. The Company may seek to raise additional capital
whenever conditions in the financial markets are favorable, even
if the Company does not have an immediate need for additional
cash at that time.
