NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  The consolidated financial statements of Innovir Laboratories, Inc. and
     Subsidiaries (the "Company") reflect all adjustments, consisting only of
     normal recurring accruals, which are, in the opinion of the Company's
     management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's results of
     operations for the respective periods presented. Operating results for any
     interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
     These notes do not include all the information required by generally
     accepted accounting principles. The  interim consolidated financial
     statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial
     statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
     year ended December 31, 1997.

(2)  Contingencies: The Company may be considered to be in violation of the
     terms of its office and laboratory sublease by not obtaining the required
     approval from the owner of the property prior to the consummation of the
     transactions with VIMRX whereby VIMRX acquired a majority holding in
     Innovir Laboratories, Inc. ("Innovir") and Innovir acquired all of the
     issued and outstanding shares of VIMRX Holdings, Ltd. ("VHL"), a wholly
     owned subsidiary of VIMRX, in  December 1996. In addition, the owner of the
     property has alleged, and the Company's sublandlord disputes, that the
     sublandlord may also be in breach of its lease with the owner of the
     property. If the sublandlord is evicted, the Company would lose its right
     to occupy its current space. While the Company believes these matters may
     be resolved without a materially adverse effect on the Company's business
     or financial position, no assurance can be given as to the ultimate
     outcome.

     The Company has been served with a complaint in the United States
     Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York by the Trustee for
     the Liquidation of the Business of A.R. Baron & Co., Inc. The complaint
     alleges that when the now defunct A.R. Baron repaid to Innovir a loan of
     $400,000 in February 1996, that it constituted a preference and fraudulent
     conveyance. The Trustee is seeking return of the funds, together with
     interest thereon. Innovir intends to contest the allegations in the
     complaint vigorously.

(3)  The Company's common stock has been delisted from the NASDAQ SmallCap
     Market as a result of failing to maintain a common stock closing price
     greater than or equal to $1.00 per share. The common stock is now eligible
     for trading on the NASDAQ OTC Bulletin Board.

(4)  Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This
     Statement requires that all items recognized under accounting standards as
     components of comprehensive earnings be reported in an annual financial
     statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other annual
     financial statements. This Statement also requires that an entity classify
     items of other comprehensive earnings by their nature in an annual
     financial statement. For example, other comprehensive earnings may include
     foreign currency translation adjustments, minimum pension liability
     adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities
     classified as available-for-sale. Annual financial statements for prior
     periods will be reclassified, as required. The Company's total
     comprehensive earnings were as follows.

    In 1997, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
    128,  "Earnings Per Share". Adoption of this Statement, which requires
    restatement of previously reported amounts, had no impact on prior year loss
    per share. Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing loss by the
    weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For
    diluted loss per share, net loss is divided by the weighted average number
    of common and potentially diluted shares outstanding during the period.
    Potentially dilutive common shares consist of stock options and warrants
    using the treasury stock method, but are excluded if their effect is
    antidilutive.

(5)  Closure of Facilities and Related Costs. The Company has begun closing
     research and development operations (New York, Gottingen, Germany and
     Cambridge, England) to reduce operating expenses. The Company's
     headquarters and core technology will move to the offices of its' majority
     owner, VIMRX Pharmaceuticals Inc. in Wilmington, Delaware.

     The Company continues to seek partners, investors or purchasers for its
     core oligozyme technology including the lead EGS, the FRS/GSFRS, the
     RILON(TM) technology and related research technologies.

     The restructuring of the Company has caused related expenses to be
     recorded, made up of severance costs,  the write off of the remaining
     goodwill and the write down of certain fixed assets held for sale.

     As the closedown of the research and development facilities progresses,
     other costs may be identified which will cause additional restructuring
     expenses to be recorded.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
        -----------------------------------------------------------------------
        of Operations
        -------------

        This report contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and
        uncertainties. Such statements are subject to certain factors which may
        cause the Company's plans to differ. Factors that may cause such
        differences include, but are not limited to, the progress of the
        Company's research and development programs, the Company's ability to
        obtain additional funds, the Company's ability to compete successfully,
        the Company's ability to attract and retain qualified personnel, the
        Company's ability to successfully enter into collaborations with third
        parties, the Company's ability to enter into and progress in clinical
        trials, the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals,
        the costs involved in obtaining and enforcing patents and any necessary
        licenses, the Company's ability to establish development and
        commercialization relationships, the cost of manufacturing, and those
        other risks discussed under the heading Risk Factors included in the
        Company's Form 10-K Annual Report.

        The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with
        the financial statements and notes thereto contained herein and the
        Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
        1997.

        Background

        On December 23, 1996, Innovir, VIMRX and certain stockholders of Innovir
        ("The Aries Funds") consummated a transaction (the "Transaction")
        whereby VIMRX acquired 68% of the outstanding stock of Innovir and
        Innovir acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of VHL, a
        wholly-owned subsidiary of VIMRX. Innovir's acquisition of VHL and
        VIMRX's partial acquisition of Innovir have been accounted for as a
        purchase in accordance with APB Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations
        and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 90-13, Accounting for
        Simultaneous Common Control Mergers ("EITF No. 90-13"). The application
        of APB No. 16 and EITF No. 90-13 requires that the Transaction be
        accounted for as a reverse acquisition and accordingly, for accounting
        purposes, (i) VHL is deemed to be the acquirer and surviving entity,
        (ii) because Innovir is deemed to be the legal acquirer, VHL's historic
        capital accounts have been retroactively restated (recapitalized) to
        reflect Innovir's capital accounts and the equivalent number of shares
        received by VIMRX in the Transaction, (iii) Innovir has fair valued its
        assets and liabilities to the extent acquired by VIMRX (68%) and (iv)
        the assets and liabilities of VHL are carried at VHL's historic cost.
        Since VHL is deemed to be the surviving entity, the statement of
        operations includes the operations of VHL for the period from January 6,
        1995 (inception). The operations of Innovir are included only since the
        date of acquisition, i.e., from December 23, 1996. For accounting
        purposes, VHL assumed the name of Innovir Laboratories, Inc. and
        Subsidiaries, and, for purposes of this Quarterly Report, all references
        to the "Company" shall mean the consolidated entity consisting of
        Innovir, VHL and subsidiaries.

                                       10
<PAGE>
 
        On February 11, 1997, Innovir elected to change its fiscal year end date
        from September 30 to December 31 of each year, effective January 1,
        1997. This change was made to conform Innovir's fiscal year end date
        with that of VHL.

        In May, 1998 the Company announced a strategic refocusing to conserve
        limited capital resources. Since that strategic refocusing, the Company
        has begun the process of closing its two European operations in
        Gottingen, Germany and Cambridge, England. In October 1998, the Company
        began closing its New York operations to further reduce operating
        expenses.


        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        Since its inception, substantially all of the Company's resources have
        been applied to research and development, patents and licensing and
        other general and administrative matters. The Company has no
        commercially viable therapeutic products and does not anticipate having
        any for several years. The Company is developing technology to be used
        as a research tool to facilitate determination of gene function and to
        validate drug targets. The Company has had no operating revenues to date
        and has sustained net losses since its inception. The Company expects
        losses to continue for the foreseeable future. The Company is engaged in
        a significant restructuring of the operations of the Company (see Note 5
        to the Consolidated Financial Statements).


        Three Month Period Ended  September 30, 1998  vs. September 30, 1997

        Research and development expenses decreased by $304,000 or 22%
        principally due to decreased wages resulting from cutbacks in
        operations.

        General and administrative expenses decreased $160,000 or 21% due to a
        decrease in insurance, salaries and amortization of options and warrant
        expenses, offset by an increase in legal expenses related to patent
        prosecution.

        The one time charge for closure of facilities and related costs are
        severance costs and the write-down of fixed assets and goodwill related
        to the closure of research and development operations in the United
        States and Europe.

        The goodwill was recorded in the transaction with VIMRX described under
        "Background" above. The remaining goodwill has been written off in
        connection with the restructuring.

        Interest income decreased $8,000 or 36% due principally to the decrease
        in the average cash balance for the three month period ended September
        30, 1998 as compared to the same period in 1997.

                                       11
<PAGE>
 
        Interest expense decreased due to the paydown of equipment leases.


        Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 1998 vs. September 30, 1997

        Research and development expenses decreased by $264,000 or 6% due to
        recent cutbacks in research and development operations.

        General and administrative expenses decreased by $748,000 or 33% due to
        decreases in salaries, benefits, insurance, professional fees,
        amortization of options and warrants and various other expenses as a
        result of cost cutting measures.

        Interest income decreased $125,000 or 82% due principally to the
        decrease in the average cash balance for the comparable periods.

        Interest expense decreased due to the paydown of equipment leases.


        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        As of September 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of
        $1,037,000 as compared to $2,159,000 at December 31, 1997. The Company
        had negative working capital of $13,000 at September 30, 1998 as
        compared to working capital of $557,000 at December 31, 1997. The
        decrease in cash and working capital positions resulted principally from
        cash used in operations ($8,235,000), purchases of equipment ($32,000),
        pay down of capital leases ($253,000) and paydown of advances and
        contributed capital from VIMRX ($682,000) offset by sales of common
        stock (approximately $6,158,000).

        Pursuant to an agreement, dated December 31, 1997, between the Company
        and VIMRX (the "VIMRX Agreement"), the Company sold to VIMRX an
        aggregate of 19,555,480 shares of the Company's Common Stock for an
        aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000. In addition, the Company issued
        to VIMRX a warrant to purchase 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock at an
        exercise price per share of $0.394. All obligations under the VIMRX
        agreement have been fulfilled.

        On June 30, 1998, Innovir sold 3,973,533 shares of Common Stock at the
        closing market price for $1,158,947 of advances and payables to VIMRX.

        On August 12, 1998, the Company's Class A and B warrants expired
        according to the terms of the warrant agreements.

        The Company plans to reduce expenditures to minimal amounts to maintain
        the Company. As September 30, 1998, the Company had cash and cash
        equivalents of 

                                       12
<PAGE>
 
        approximately $1,037,000 which is expected to last until the end of the
        year. The Company continues to explore strategic alternatives including
        the sale of all or substantially all the stock or assets of the Company,
        the sale, licensing or spinning off of certain of the Company's
        technologies, the merger of the Company with another entity, or other
        alternative restructuring. In addition, the Company is seeking to enter
        into collaborative or other arrangements with corporate sources which
        may provide sources of financing. There can be no assurance that any of
        these strategic alternatives, collaborative or other arrangements, or
        additional financing can be consummated obtained on terms reasonable to
        the Company, if at all.


        YEAR 2000 ISSUES

        The Company will be relying on VIMRX's computer systems after
        restructuring is completed at or around the end of 1998. The Company has
        been advised by VIMRX that:

        VIMRX is aware of and has addressed many of the "Year 2000" issues
        associated with both information technology ("IT") and non-IT systems
        which could cause problems and network failures should the systems fail
        to recognize year designations after 1999.

        VIMRX has reviewed its own computer, communication, software and
        operating systems and is satisfied they are Year 2000 compliant.
        Furthermore, VIMRX has taken proactive measures to ensure the systems
        are Year 2000 compliant by upgrading all server and workstation
        operating systems. All system servers and workstations' BIOS have been
        reprogrammed and are Year 2000 compliant. (The BIOS is responsible for
        starting the computer by providing a basic set of instructions. It
        performs all the tasks which need to be done at start-up time).

        VIMRX has upgraded all productivity, communication and accounting
        software to meet Year 2000 compliance. VIMRX has tested the accounting
        systems with the Year 2000 date and feels confident that they are
        compliant.

        VIMRX will plan system-wide testing in the first quarter of 1999. Any
        system failures will be addressed at that time. VIMRX feels its Year
        2000 risks are very minimal. VIMRX has spent approximately $710,000 to
        upgrade its systems which brought the Company into year 2000 readiness.
        Direct costs related to the review of year 2000 issues have been
        immaterial.

        VIMRX will continue to contact critical suppliers, collaborators,
        partners and vendors to determine if their operations, as they relate to
        VIMRX, are Year 2000 compliant.

        Although VIMRX will take all practical measures to prevent problems
        related with the Year 2000 programming problem, such problems and
        failures may occur which could seriously affect VIMRX's progress.
        Because of the unprecedented nature of such problems, the extent of the
        effect on VIMRX's progress cannot be certain.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings.

On July 2, 1998, an action was commenced against the Company in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York entitled James W.
Giddens, Trustee for the Liquidation of the Business of A.R. Baron & Co., Inc.
v. Innovir Laboratories, Inc. The complaint alleges that when the now defunct A.
R. Baron repaid to the Company a loan of $400,000 in February 1996, it
constituted a preference and fraudulent conveyance. The Trustee is seeking
return of the funds, together with interest thereon. In August 1998, the Company
answered the complaint. The Company intends to contest the allegations in the
complaint vigorously.
