1.   Basis of Presentation

     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included.  Operating results for the period ended March 31, 1996 are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 1996.  For further information, refer to the financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1995.

2.   Long-Lived Assets

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standard No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of 
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of ("SFAS No. 121"), 
which requires impairment losses to be recorded on long-lived assets used in 
operations when indications of impairment are present and the undiscounted cash
flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets'
carrying amount. The Company adopted SFAS No. 121 on January 1, 1996. Based on
current circumstances, SFAS No. 121 did not have a significant impact on the
financial statements.

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

  The following discussion and analysis provide information which the Company's
management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the
Company's results of operations and financial condition.  This discussion should
be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto appearing elsewhere herein as well as with the financial statements,
notes thereto and the related management's discussion and analysis of financial
condition and results of operations included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1995.

Background
- ----------

  Through December 31, 1994, the Company was in the development stage and had
devoted the majority of its efforts to the development and implementation of its
proprietary extraction, isolation and purification ("EIP/TM/") technology for
producing paclitaxel (referred to in some scientific and medical literature as
"taxol")/1/.  Although the majority of the Company's production of paclitaxel 
(referred to herein as "NBT Paclitaxel") continues to be limited to small scale
production largely for use in clinical trials and for research and development
purposes, NaPro's strategic marketing and development partner in Australia, F.H.
Faulding & Co., Ltd. ("Faulding"), received approval to market and began
commercial sales of its formulation of the Company's paclitaxel in January 1995.
In 1995, the Company received its first significant revenues from the commercial
sales of its product; therefore, it has discontinued reporting as a development
stage company commencing with its financial statements as of January 1, 1995.
The Company anticipates the operating losses will continue until such time, if
ever, as the Company is able to generate sufficient revenues to support its
operations.


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to the three months ended March 31,
1995

  Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were $691,000 representing
a decrease of $457,000 from the three months ended March 31, 1995.  The decrease
related primarily to the timing of product shipments. Shipments to Faulding and
Baker Norton Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of IVAX Corporation ("IVAX"), may
vary significantly on a quarter to quarter basis depending on a number of
factors, including the timing and size of any clinical trials conducted by
either company.  This quarter to quarter variability will continue until stable
commercial demand has been established for the product in one of the Company's
major markets.

  Research and development and cost of products sold expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 were $1,786,000 representing an increase of $443,000
from the three months ended March 31, 1995. The increase was due primarily from
an increase in process development and research expenses, as well as higher
production costs. This increase was offset by a decrease of $269,000 in the
amortization of prepaid plantation costs. A significant portion of the cost to
produce paclitaxel, much of which is being used for clinical research by the
Company's strategic marketing and development partners, is being expensed as
process development until the process to be used to extract the product has been
more firmly established.

     anti-cancer pharmaceutical preparation containing paclitaxel.

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
  General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996
were $704,000, an increase of $253,000 from the three months ended March 31,
1995.  The increase is primarily attributable to an increase in facility costs
and an increase in administrative and support staff.


  Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $100,000,
representing an increase of $51,000 from the three months ended March 31, 1995.
The increase is attributable to increased cash balances associated with the
completion of the Company's private placement completed in 1995.  Interest
income is expected to increase and become a more significant portion of
operations as a result of completion of a proposed public offering in 1996.

  Interest and other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$61,000, representing an increase of $21,000 from the three months ended March
31, 1995.  The increase was the result of borrowings under equipment financing
leases which were put in place in the fourth quarter of 1995.  Interest expense
is expected to increase as borrowings on the equipment lease line of credit are
expected to increase from approximately $300,000 at December 31, 1995 to an
expected value of approximately $1.5 million at June 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

  The Company's capital requirements have been and will continue to be
significant.  At March 31, 1996, the Company had working capital of $6,731,000.
This compared to a working capital balance of $2,421,000 as of March 31, 1995.
To date the Company has been dependent primarily on net proceeds of the IPO of
approximately $7.4 million, on private placements of its equity securities
aggregating approximately $18.9 million ( including proceeds of approximately
$10.2 million during 1995), and on loans and advances from its stockholders and
strategic business partners to fund its capital requirements.

  The balance of cash and cash equivalents was $4,923,000 at March 31, 1996
representing a decrease of $2,210,000 from the balance on December 31, 1995.
During the first three months of 1996, cash provided by financing activities
totaled $116,000, while the cash used by operating and investing activities
totaled $2,134,000 and $192,000, respectively.  In addition to cash and cash
equivalents, there were securities held to maturity totaling $667,000 due to 
mature in June 1996.

  During the first three months of 1996, inventories increased by $236,000.
This increase was due primarily to the harvest of biomass at the Company's
plantation.  The amount of product held as finished goods equivalents in work-
in-process inventories as well as finished goods inventories are dependent on a
number of factors, including the shipping requirements of Faulding and IVAX and
the Company's production planning to meet those needs.  Inventory balances may
vary significantly during product development and launch periods.  The Company
plans to make significant biomass investments during 1996.

  The Company expended $138,000 for capital projects during the first
quarter of 1996.  The Company expended $1,209,000 and $575,000,
respectively, during 1995 and 1994, for capital projects. These expenditures
were primarily made to build the Canadian pilot-scale manufacturing facility and
for expansion and improvements to the Boulder laboratories and facilities.  In
1996, the Company expects to invest $3.0 million to $4.0 million from the
proceeds of a proposed public offering in plant and equipment, primarily to
expand its plantation and upgrade its current domestic and foreign manufacturing
capabilities, as well as to begin construction of a new large-scale commercial
EIP/TM/ manufacturing facility which is expected to be completed in 1997.

The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources, together with 
revenues from ongoing sales of NBT Paclitaxel, the proceeds from a proposed 
offering and the proceeds from certain warrants which expire in February 1998, 
including the interest earned thereon, will be adequate to fund operations and 
capital expenditures until operating revenues are sufficient to finance 
operations. If the proposed offering does not occur, however, the Company's 
existing capital resources, together with ongoing sales of NBT Paclitaxel, will 
not be adquate to fund such operations and capital expenditures. In such event,
the Company will need to seek additional financing, of which there can be no
assurance the Company will be able to obtain on acceptable terms, if at all. The
amount and timing of expenditures will depend upon numerous factors, including
the progress of the Company's research and development programs, the magnitude
and scope of these activities, the cost of preparing, filing, prosecuting,
maintaining and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights,
competing technological and marketing development, changes in or terminations of
existing strategic partnerships, the establishment of additional strategic
relationships and the cost of manufacturing scale-up. In the event of
unanticipated future capital requirements, the Company may seek to raise
additional capital. The Company may seek additional long-term financing to fund
capital expenditures should such financing become available on terms accepted to
the Company.
