NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30,1996
(unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements of Inhale
Therapeutic Systems ("Inhale" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The
balance sheet as of June 30, 1996, the related statements of operations for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 and cash flows for the
six month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are unaudited but include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) which the Company
considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position at such
dates and the operating results and cash flows for those periods. Although the
Company believes that the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading, certain information normally
included in financial statements and related footnotes prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the "Commission"). The accompanying financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission.
Results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of
results for any other interim period or for the entire year.
2. REVENUE RECOGNITION
Contract revenue from collaborative research agreements is recorded
when earned and as the related costs are incurred. Payments received which are
related to future performance are deferred and recognized as revenue when earned
over future performance periods. In accordance with contract terms, up-front and
milestone payments from collaborative research agreements are considered
reimbursements for costs incurred under the agreements, and accordingly, are
generally recognized based on actual efforts expended over the terms of the
agreements. Further, the Company defers recognition of revenue earned under
arrangements with related parties that grant the Company an option to reacquire
technology rights until such option expires. The Company's research revenue is
derived primarily from clients in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology
industries. All of the Company's research and development agreements are
generally cancelable by the partner without significant penalty to the partner.
6
<PAGE> 7
Contract research revenue from two partners represented 73% and 14% of
the Company's revenue in the six month period ended June 30, 1996. Contract
revenue from two partners represented 69% and 20% of the Company's revenue in
the same period last year. Costs of contract research revenue approximate such
revenue and are included in research and development expenses.
3. NET LOSS PER SHARE
Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options,
and a warrant are excluded from the computation as their effect is antidilutive.
4. COLLABORATIVE AGREEMENT
On March 1, 1996, the Company signed a collaboration agreement with
Baxter Healthcare Corporation (a subsidiary of Baxter International) ("Baxter")
to use Inhale's dry powder pulmonary delivery system as a technology platform
for developing and launching therapeutic products. On April 9, 1996, Baxter
purchased $20.0 million of Inhale Common Stock at a 25% market premium, based on
the average market price prior to the signing of the agreement. Baxter will
receive worldwide commercialization rights in exchange for making up to an
estimated $60 million in research and development funding and milestone payments
for the first four molecules, assuming successful development and continuation
of the program by Baxter. Baxter also has an option to add molecules to the
collaboration that could result in additional funding and milestone payments to
Inhale. Inhale will receive royalties and manufacturing payments on sales of
products developed through the collaboration. Additionally, under the terms of
the agreement, Inhale has an option to reacquire technology rights.
Inhale has primary responsibility for development of the selected
therapeutics. Inhale will develop dry powder formulations for use with its
portable inhalation device, and will process and package powders for clinical
supplies and marketed products. Clinical trials also will be managed by Inhale.
Baxter will be responsible for the worldwide commercialization of the products
resulting from the collaboration.
Item 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,
should be read in conjunction with the Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K.
The discussion in this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements
that involve risks and uncertainties. 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 herein as
well as those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. Readers are
cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements,
which reflect management's analysis only as of the date hereof. The Company
undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any revision to
these forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or
circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of
unanticipated events.

<PAGE> 8
OVERVIEW
Since its inception in July 1990, Inhale has been a development stage
company engaged in the development of a pulmonary system for the delivery of
macromolecule drugs for systemic and local lung applications. The Company has
been unprofitable since inception and expects to incur significant and
increasing additional operating losses over the next several years primarily due
to increasing research and development expenditures and expansion of
manufacturing facilities. To date, Inhale has not sold any products and does not
anticipate receiving revenue from product sales or royalties in the near future.
For the period from inception through June 30, 1996, the Company incurred a
cumulative net loss of approximately $22.2 million. Inhale's sources of working
capital have been equity financings, financings of equipment acquisitions,
interest earned on investments of cash, and revenues from short-term research
and feasibility agreements and development contracts.
Inhale typically has been compensated for research and development
expenses during initial feasibility work performed under collaborative
arrangements. Inhale's strategy is to enter into development contracts with
pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporate partners after feasibility is
demonstrated. Partners that enter into collaborative agreements will pay for
research and development expenses and will make payments to Inhale as it
achieves certain key milestones. Inhale expects to receive royalties from its
partners based on revenues received from product sales, and to receive revenue
from the manufacturing of powders and the supply of devices. To date, one
up-front signing payment and one milestone and no royalty payments have been
received by the Company under its collaborative agreements. In certain cases,
the Company may enter into collaborative agreements under which the Company's
partners would manufacture or package powders or supply inhalation devices,
thereby potentially limiting one or more sources of revenue for the Company. To
achieve and sustain profitable operations, the Company, alone or with others,
must successfully develop, obtain regulatory approval for, manufacture,
introduce, market and sell products utilizing its pulmonary drug delivery
system. There can be no assurance that the Company can generate sufficient
product or contract research revenue to become profitable or to sustain
profitability.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Revenues in the second quarter in 1996 were $1,448,000 compared to
$1,021,000 in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of 42%. Revenues for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 were $2,930,000 compared to $1,609,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 1995, an increase of 82%. The increase in revenues was
primarily due to revenue recognized under the Company's collaborative agreement
entered into with Pfizer, Inc. ("Pfizer") on January 18, 1995. Such revenue was
comprised of reimbursed research and development expenses and the amortization
of the pro-rata portion of the up-front signing payment based on actual efforts
expended. The collaboration covers the development of insulin products using
Inhale's non-invasive pulmonary drug delivery system for macromolecules. Costs
of contract research revenue approximate such revenue and are included in
research and development expense.
Research and development expenses increased to approximately $3,516,000
in the second quarter of 1996 from $2,174,000 in the second quarter of 1995, an
increase of 62%. Research and development expenses for the six months ended
8
<PAGE> 9
June 30, 1996 were $6,433,000 compared to $4,135,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995, an increase of 56%. The increase is primarily attributed to
continued expansion of research activities resulting from an increase in the
number of projects, additional hiring of scientific personnel and increased
costs of laboratory supplies and consulting services. The Company expects
research, development and process development spending to increase significantly
over the next few years as the Company continues to expand its research and
development and commence its manufacturing efforts.
General and administrative expenses increased to $854,000 in the second
quarter of 1996 from $782,000 in the second quarter of 1995, an increase of 9%.
The increase in the second quarter 1996 was due primarily to increased marketing
consulting costs associated with collaborative agreements, and increased
administrative staffing and support of the Company's increased research efforts.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were
$1,555,000 compared to $1,795,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995, a
decrease of 13%. Marketing consulting costs associated with the Company's
collaborative agreements that were incurred in the first quarter of 1995 were
not experienced at the same level in the same period this year. General and
administrative expenses are expected to continue to increase to support
increased levels of research, development and manufacturing activities and to
cover the costs of being a public company.
Net interest income increased to $437,000 in the second quarter of 1996
compared to $351,000 in the second quarter of 1995. Net interest income
increased to $672,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to
$561,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Interest income was earned on
larger cash and investment balances held by the Company in the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 1996, compared to the same period last year. The
higher cash balance a result of the $20.0 million equity investment by Baxter
on April 9, 1996.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company has financed its operations primarily through private
placements of its equity securities, public offerings, contract research
revenues, interest income earned on its investments of cash and financing of
equipment acquisitions. On April 9, 1996, Baxter made a $20.0 million equity
investment in Inhale at a 25% premium to market price in conjunction with an
agreement the Company signed with Baxter in March 1996 to develop products using
Inhale's non-invasive pulmonary drug delivery system for macromolecules. At June
1996, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of
approximately $34.3 million.
The Company's operations used cash of $4.1 million in the six months
ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1995. The increase in cash usage was due to increased operating expenses in
the six month period ended June 30, 1996 as compared to the same period last
year. These amounts differed from the Company's net operating losses in these
periods due principally to depreciation expenses, and increases in accounts
payable and accrued liabilities.
9
<PAGE> 10
The Company expects its cash requirements to increase due to expected
increases in expenses related to the further research and development of its
technologies resulting from a larger number of projects, development of drug
formulations, process development for the manufacture and filling of powders and
devices, marketing, and general and administrative costs. These expenses
include, but are not limited to, increases in personnel and personnel related
costs, capital equipment, inhalation device prototype construction and
facilities expansion, including the planning and building of a late-stage
clinical and early-stage commercial manufacturing facility.
The Company believes that its cash, cash equivalents and short-term
investments as of June 30, 1996 of approximately $34.3 million, together with
the: i) potential future $5.0 million equity investment by Pfizer; and ii)
interest income and possible additional equipment financing, will be sufficient
to meet its operating expense and capital expenditure requirements at least
through 1997. However, the Company's capital needs will depend on many factors,
including continued scientific progress in its research and development
arrangements, progress with pre-clinical and clinical trials, the time and costs
involved in obtaining regulatory approvals, the costs of developing and the rate
of scale-up of the Company's powder processing and packaging technologies, the
timing and cost of its late-stage clinical and early commercial production
facility, the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining and
enforcing patent claims, the need to acquire licenses to new technologies and
the status of competitive products. To satisfy its long-term needs, the Company
intends to seek additional funding, as necessary, from corporate partners and
from the sale of securities. There can be no assurance that additional funds, if
and when required, will be available to the Company on favorable terms, if at
all.

ON MAY 15, 1996
1. PURPOSE.
(a) The purpose of the 1994 Non-Employee Directors' Stock Option Plan
(the "Plan") is to provide a means by which each director of Inhale Therapeutic
Systems (the "Company") who is not otherwise an employee of the Company or of
any Affiliate of the Company (each such person being hereafter referred to as a
"Non-Employee Director") will be given an opportunity to purchase stock of the
Company.
(b) The word "Affiliate" as used in the Plan means any parent
corporation or subsidiary corporation of the Company as those terms are defined
in Sections 424(e) and (f), respectively, of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as amended from time to time (the "Code").
(c) The Company, by means of the Plan, seeks to retain the services of
persons now serving as Non-Employee Directors of the Company, to secure and
retain the services of persons capable of serving in such capacity, and to
provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for the success of
the Company.
2. ADMINISTRATION.
1.
<PAGE> 2
(a) The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors of the
Company (the "Board") unless and until the Board delegates administration to a
committee, as provided in subparagraph 2(b).
(b) The Board may delegate administration of the Plan to a committee
composed of not fewer than two (2) members of the Board (the "Committee"). If
administration is delegated to a Committee, the Committee shall have, in
connection with the administration of the Plan, the powers theretofore possessed
by the Board, subject, however, to such resolutions, not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Plan, as may be adopted from time to time by the Board. The
Board may abolish the Committee at any time and revest in the Board the
administration of the Plan.
3. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN.
(a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 10 relating to adjustments
upon changes in stock, the stock that may be sold pursuant to options granted
under the Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate Two Hundred Thousand (200,000)
shares of the Company's common stock. If any option granted under the Plan shall
for any reason expire or otherwise terminate without having been exercised in
full, the stock not purchased under such option shall again become available for
the Plan.
(b) The stock subject to the Plan may be unissued shares or reacquired
shares, bought on the market or otherwise.
4. ELIGIBILITY.
Options shall be granted only to Non-Employee Directors of the Company.
5. NON-DISCRETIONARY GRANTS.
2.
<PAGE> 3
(a) On June 1 of every other year, commencing June 1, 1996, each person
who is then a Non-Employee Director shall be granted an option to purchase
Fourteen Thousand Four Hundred (14,400) shares of common stock of the Company on
the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b) Each person who was not previously an employee of the Company and
who becomes a Non-Employee Director after March 27, 1996 shall be granted an
option on the date such person becomes a Non-Employee Director (the "Appointment
Date") to purchase that number of shares equal to 14,400 multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of full months between the
Appointment Date and the following June 1 of the next even numbered year, and
the denominator of which is twenty-four (24).
6. OPTION PROVISIONS.
Each option shall contain the following terms and conditions:
(a) The term of each option commences on the date it is granted and,
unless sooner terminated as set forth herein, expires on the date ("Expiration
Date") ten (10) years from the date of grant. If the optionee's service as a
Director of the Company terminates for any reason or for no reason, the option
shall terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or the date three (3)
months following the date of termination of service; provided, however, that if
such termination of service is due to the optionee's death, the option shall
terminate on the earlier of the Expiration Date or twelve (12) months following
the date of the optionee's death. In any and all circumstances, an option may be
exercised following termination of the optionee's service as a Non-Employee
Director of the Company only as to that number of shares as to which it was
exercisable on the date of termination of such service under the provisions of
subparagraph 6(e). (b) The exercise
3.
<PAGE> 4
price of each option shall be one hundred percent (100%) of the fair market
value of the stock subject to such option on the date such option is granted.
(b) Payment of the exercise price of each option is due in full in cash
upon any exercise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this option may be exercised
pursuant to a program developed under Regulation T as promulgated by the Federal
Reserve Board which results in the receipt of cash (or check) by the Company
prior to the issuance of shares of the Company's common stock.
(c) An option shall not be transferable except by will or by the laws
of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable during the lifetime of the
person to whom the option is granted only by such person or by his guardian or
legal representative.
(d) Each option granted under the Plan shall become exercisable in
twenty four (24) equal monthly installments beginning with the first day of the
first month following the date of grant, provided that the optionee has, during
the entire period prior to such vesting date, continuously served as a
Non-Employee Director or as an employee of or consultant to the Company or any
Affiliate of the Company, whereupon such option shall become fully exercisable
in accordance with its terms with respect to that portion of the shares
represented by that installment.
(e) The Company may require any optionee, or any person to whom an
option is transferred under subparagraph 6(d), as a condition of exercising any
such option: (i) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company as to
the optionee's knowledge and experience in financial and business matters; and
(ii) to give written assurances satisfactory to the Company stating that such
person is acquiring the stock subject to the option for such person's own
account
4.
<PAGE> 5
and not with any present intention of selling or otherwise distributing the
stock. These requirements, and any assurances given pursuant to such
requirements, shall be inoperative if (i) the issuance of the shares upon the
exercise of the option has been registered under a then-currently-effective
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
"Securities Act"), or (ii), as to any particular requirement, a determination is
made by counsel for the Company that such requirement need not be met in the
circumstances under the then-applicable securities laws.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, an
option may not be exercised unless the shares issuable upon exercise of such
option are then registered under the Securities Act or, if such shares are not
then so registered, the Company has determined that such exercise and issuance
would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
7. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
(a) During the terms of the options granted under the Plan, the Company
shall keep available at all times the number of shares of stock required to
satisfy such options.
(b) The Company shall seek to obtain from each regulatory commission or
agency having jurisdiction over the Plan such authority as may be required to
issue and sell shares of stock upon exercise of the options granted under the
Plan; provided, however, that this undertaking shall not require the Company to
register under the Securities Act either the Plan, any option granted under the
Plan, or any stock issued or issuable pursuant to any such option. If the
Company is unable to obtain from any such regulatory commission or agency the
authority which counsel for the Company deems necessary for the lawful issuance
and sale of stock under the Plan, the
5.
<PAGE> 6
Company shall be relieved from any liability for failure to issue and sell stock
upon exercise of such options.
8. USE OF PROCEEDS FROM STOCK.
Proceeds from the sale of stock pursuant to options granted under the
Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Neither an optionee nor any person to whom an option is transferred
under subparagraph 6(d) shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of
the rights of a holder with respect to, any shares subject to such option unless
and until such person has satisfied all requirements for exercise of the option
pursuant to its terms.
(b) Throughout the term of any option granted pursuant to the Plan, the
Company shall make available to the holder of such option, not later than one
hundred twenty (120) days after the close of each of the Company's fiscal years
during the option term, upon request, such financial and other information
regarding the Company as comprises the annual report to the stockholders of the
Company provided for in the Bylaws of the Company and such other information
regarding the Company as the holder of such option may reasonably request.
(c) Nothing in the Plan or in any instrument executed pursuant thereto
shall confer upon any Non-Employee Director any right to continue in the service
of the Company or any Affiliate or shall affect any right of the Company, its
Board or stockholders or any Affiliate to terminate the service of any
Non-Employee Director with or without cause.
6.
<PAGE> 7
(d) No Non-Employee Director, individually or as a member of a group,
and no beneficiary or other person claiming under or through him, shall have any
right, title or interest in or to any option reserved for the purposes of the
Plan except as to such shares of common stock, if any, as shall have been
reserved for him pursuant to an option granted to him.
(e) In connection with each option made pursuant to the Plan, it shall
be a condition precedent to the Company's obligation to issue or transfer shares
to a Non-Employee Director, or to evidence the removal of any restrictions on
transfer, that such Non-Employee Director make arrangements satisfactory to the
Company to insure that the amount of any federal or other withholding tax
required to be withheld with respect to such sale or transfer, or such removal
or lapse, is made available to the Company for timely payment of such tax.
10. ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN STOCK.
(a) If any change is made in the stock subject to the Plan, or subject
to any option granted under the Plan (through merger, consolidation,
reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, dividend in property other
than cash, stock split, liquidating dividend, combination of shares, exchange of
shares, change in corporate structure or otherwise), the Plan and outstanding
options will be appropriately adjusted in the type of security and maximum
number of shares subject to the Plan and the type of security and number of
shares and price per share of stock subject to outstanding options.
(b) In the event of: (1) a merger or consolidation in which the Company
is not the surviving corporation; (2) a reverse merger in which the Company is
the surviving corporation but
7.
<PAGE> 8
the shares of the Company's common stock outstanding immediately preceding the
merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the
form of securities, cash or otherwise; or (3) any other capital reorganization
in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of the Company entitled to
vote are exchanged the time during which options outstanding under the Plan may
be exercised shall be accelerated and the options terminated if not exercised
prior to such event.
11. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN.
(a) The Board at any time, and from time to time, may amend the Plan,
provided, however, that the Board shall not amend the plan more than once every
six months, with respect to the provisions of the plan which relate to the
amount, price and timing of grants, other than to comport with changes in the
Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or the
rules thereunder. Except as provided in paragraph 10 relating to adjustments
upon changes in stock, no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the
stockholders of the Company within twelve (12) months before or after the
adoption of the amendment, where the amendment will:
(i) Increase the number of shares which may be issued under the
Plan;
(ii) Modify the requirements as to eligibility for participation
in the Plan (to the extent such modification requires stockholder approval in
order for the Plan to comply with the requirements of Rule 16b-3); or

(iii) Modify the Plan in any other way if such modification
requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to comply with the

(i) the Company requests the consent of the person to whom the option was
granted and (ii) such person consents in writing.
12. TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE PLAN.

sooner terminated, the Plan shall terminate on February 1, 2004. No options may
be granted under the Plan while the Plan is suspended or after it is terminated.
