                                                  (a development stage company)
                                                                  June 30, 1996

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     Therapeutic Discovery Corporation ("TDC") was incorporated in Delaware on
November 12, 1992 and commenced operations on June 11, 1993.  Since it commenced
operations, TDC has been engaged in selecting and developing new human
pharmaceutical products (the "TDC Products") combining the proprietary drug
delivery technologies of ALZA Corporation ("ALZA") with various drug compounds. 
TDC's principal activities consist of research and development activities under
its agreements with ALZA.  

      Under generally accepted accounting principles, TDC is considered a
development stage company and, accordingly, must present financial information
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and for the period
from inception (November 1992) to June 30, 1996.   

     The information at June 30, 1996, for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996 and 1995, and for the period from inception (November 1992) to June 30,
1996 is unaudited, but includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments) which the management of TDC believes necessary for fair
presentation of the results for such periods.  Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.  The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of TDC for
the year ended December 31, 1995 included in TDC's 1995 Annual Report on Form
10-K.

2.   SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

     TDC has classified its entire investment portfolio as available-for-sale. 
Although TDC does not intend to dispose of all of the securities in its
investment portfolio within one year, TDC's investment portfolio is available
for current operations and, therefore, has been classified as a current asset.

     The amortized cost and estimated fair value of debt and marketable
securities at June 30, 1996, by contractual maturity, are shown below.  Expected
maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the issuers of the
securities may have the right to prepay obligations without prepayment
penalties.

     The difference between the total estimated fair value as given in the above
tables and the total of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments on
the balance sheet is due to the inclusion of TDC's cash in bank of approximately
$ 1.7 million in cash and cash equivalents on the balance sheet.

3.   ARRANGEMENTS WITH ALZA CORPORATION

     TDC was formed by ALZA for the purpose of selecting and developing new
human pharmaceutical products combining ALZA's proprietary drug delivery
technologies with various drug compounds, and commercializing such products,
most likely through licensing to ALZA.  In connection with the distribution to
ALZA stockholders of a special dividend of units (each unit included one share
of TDC Class A Common Stock and one warrant to purchase one-eighth of one share
of ALZA Common Stock at an exercise price of $65 per share), ALZA made a $250
million cash contribution to TDC's capital.  The cash is being used primarily to
fund activities under a development agreement (the "Development Contract")
between ALZA and TDC pursuant to which ALZA conducts research and development
activities on behalf of TDC.  In accordance with TDC's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, on June 11, 1996, the units split into their component
securities--TDC Class A Common Stock and ALZA warrants.  As a result of the
split, both securities are listed and trade separately on NASDAQ.  The trading
symbol for the TDC Class A Common Stock is "TDCA".

     The arrangements between ALZA and TDC are complex and are incorporated in
various agreements between the parties and in TDC's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation.


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

     NOTICE CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS - Some of the statements made
in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking in nature, including
but not limited to product development plans and other statements that are not
historical facts, and statements including forms of the words "intend",
"believe", "will", "may", "expect", "anticipate" and similar terms.  The
occurrence of the events described, and the achievement of the intended results,
are subject to the future occurrence of many events which are unpredictable or
outside TDC's control and various risk factors that could cause TDC's actual
results to be materially different from those anticipated in any forward-looking
statements.  Many of the significant risks are described in TDC's 1995 Annual
Report on Form 10-K and include, without limitation, risks associated with
product development, risks relating to clinical development, changes in the
health care marketplace, regulatory risks and risks related to patent and
intellectual property matters, market acceptance of products (including third-
party reimbursement) and competition.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     TDC was formed in November 1992 by ALZA and was fully capitalized and
commenced operations in June 1993 with approximately $250 million in cash
contributed by ALZA.  At June 30, 1996, TDC had cash and cash equivalents, and
short-term investments of approximately $133 million, as compared with
approximately $177 million at December 31, 1995.

     TDC's cash expenditures for operating activities were approximately $42.2
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared with $17.9 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  Cash expenditures for operating
activities were approximately $114.8 million for the period from inception
(November 1992) to June 30, 1996 and differ from TDC's net losses of
approximately $131.9 million for the same period due primarily to the amount
payable to ALZA for research and development and amortization of organization
expenses.  TDC's remaining cash, plus interest earned thereon, less
administrative expenses, is being used primarily to fund the development of TDC
Products under the Development Contract.  The rate at which cash is used to fund
these activities is anticipated to continue at approximately current levels
during the remainder of 1996.  However, several factors may impact the level and
timing of TDC funding, including any commercial arrangements between ALZA
and other companies which would cause ALZA to exercise its license option with
respect to any TDC Product, any reduction in the number of projects advancing to
or continuing in later stages of development or any adjustments in the rates of
spending on products currently in development.  Funds not immediately required
for development activities and administrative expenses have been invested in low
risk securities.  As TDC's funds are utilized under the Development Contract,
lower cash balances will be available for investment.  

     If expenditures on products by TDC were to continue at approximately 
current levels, it can be expected that the amount of cash available for 
product development would be exhausted within the next 12 to 18 months.  
Under TDC's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, ALZA has the right, but not 
the obligation, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the TDC Class A 
Common Stock (the "Purchase Option"). A complete discussion of the Purchase 
Option is contained in TDC's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Purchase 
Option will terminate at the earlier of (a) December 31, 1999 (subject to 
certain adjustments extending such date) or (b) the 60th day after the later 
of the filing or the due date of a Form 10-K or Form 10-Q of TDC containing a 
balance sheet showing less than $5 million of cash, cash equivalents and 
short-term and long-term investments.

     At June 30, 1996, the cost of short-term investments exceeded their fair
value by approximately $1.7 million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Revenues, consisting of net interest and investment income earned on
invested funds, were approximately $2.0 million and $4.7 million for the three
and six months ended June 30, 1996, as compared with approximately $3.9 million
and $6.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1995.  Revenues
totaled approximately $30.8 million for the period from inception (November
1992) to June 30, 1996.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996, interest and
investment income is lower than in the six months ended June 30, 1995 as a
result of lower cash balances available for investment.  As TDC's funds are
utilized under the Development Contract, lower cash balances will be 
available for investment, and therefore net interest income is expected to 
decrease.  TDC does not

anticipate significant revenues, other than from interest and investment 
income, in the future while products are under development and applications 
for regulatory approval are submitted and reviewed.

     TDC spent approximately $28.3 million and $49.9 million on research and
development activities in the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared with approximately $14.5 million and $26.7 million in the three and six
months ended June 30, 1995.  Research and development expenses have totaled
approximately $155.3 million for the period from inception (November 1992) to
June 30, 1996.  Research and development expenditures have been increasing, as
expected, as activities increase and as products reach and continue in later
stages of development.  TDC's research and development expenses are expected to
continue at approximately current levels during the remainder of 1996 subject
to, as discussed above, the occurrence of various events which may impact the
level and timing of TDC's expenditures on research and development.

     TDC incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.7
million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996, as
compared to $0.6 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 1995.  General and administrative expenses totaled approximately $7.7
million for the period from inception (November 1992) to June 30, 1996. 
Expenses incurred by TDC under an administrative services agreement with ALZA
were approximately $21,000 and $70,000 for the three and six months ended June
30, 1996, as compared with approximately $36,000 and $78,000 for the three and
six months ended June 30, 1995. The expenses incurred under such agreement for
the period from inception (November 1992) to June 30, 1996 were approximately
$532,000.

     TDC reported a net loss of approximately $27.0 million or $3.49 per common
share and $46.5 million or $6.01 per common share for the three and six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared with a net loss of approximately $11.1 million
or $1.44 per common share and $21.0 million or $2.72 per common share for the
three and six months ended June 30, 1995.  TDC has had a net loss of
approximately $131.9 million for the period from inception (November 1992) to
June 30, 1996.  The increasing net loss resulted primarily from the substantial
increase in product development activities during the relevant periods. It is
anticipated that TDC will continue to record significant net losses as products
enter or continue in later stages of development, if additional products are
accepted by TDC for development, and as investment income decreases as funds
available for investment are reduced.

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1996 and the period from inception (November
1992) to June 30, 1996, the provision for income taxes was not material.
