1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

THE COMPANY AND ITS SEVERAL DEVELOPMENT STAGE SUBSIDIARIES

     Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in February 
1992 in the State of Delaware.  It is the holding company for several 
development stage biotechnology companies ("the Operating Companies").  The 
development stage companies, which rely significantly on third parties to 
conduct sponsored research, are Ansan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Ansan"), 
Ingenex, Inc. ("Ingenex"), Theracell, Inc. ("Theracell"), ProNeura, Inc. 
("ProNeura"), and Trilex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly Ascalon, Inc. 
("Trilex").

     ANSAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

     Ansan was incorporated in November 1992 to engage in the development of 
novel analogs of butyric acid for the treatment of cancer and other 
disorders.  It was a majority-owned consolidated subsidiary until August 
1995.  In August 1995, Ansan completed an initial public offering of its 
securities.  Such offering reduced the Company's ownership in Ansan from 
approximately 95% to approximately 44%.  From August 1995, the Company has 
accounted for its investment in Ansan using the equity method.  Concurrent 
with the Ansan public offering, Ansan granted the Company a one-year option 
to purchase up to 400,000 shares of Ansan common stock with an exercise price 
of $6.00 per share.  In July 1996, Ansan extended the option through 
September 8, 1996, in order to allow the Company and Ansan an opportunity to 
renegotiate the terms of the option.  The two companies continue to negotiate 
and Titan may again hold a majority interest in Ansan.

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 nine month period 
ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results that

PER SHARE DATA

     For purposes of computing net share data in the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996, the net loss has been increased by a $5,431,871 deemed 
dividend (see Note 2).  Except as noted below, per share data is computed 
using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Common 
equivalent shares are excluded from the computation as their effect is 
antidilutive, except that, pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission 
("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletins, common and common equivalent shares 
(stock options, warrants and preferred stock) issued during the period 
commencing 12 months prior to the initial filing of an initial public 
offering at prices below the assumed public offering price have been included 
in the calculation as if they were outstanding for all periods presented 
(using the treasury stock method for stock options and warrants and the 
if-converted method for preferred stock).

     Pro forma loss per share has been computed as described above and also 
gives effect, pursuant to SEC policy, to common equivalent shares from 
convertible preferred stock issued more than 12 months from the proposed 
initial public offering that automatically converted upon completion of the 
Company's initial public offering (using the if-converted method) from the 
original date of issuance.

2.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

UNIT OFFERING

     In January 1996, the Company issued 3,200,000 units at $5.00 per unit in 
its initial public offering ("IPO").  Each unit consisted of one share of 
common stock and one redeemable Class A warrant.  The net proceeds (after 
underwriter's discount and expenses, and other costs associated with the IPO) 
totaled approximately $13,690,000.  At the closing of the IPO, all of the 
Company's outstanding preferred stock automatically converted into common 
stock.  Each share of Series A and Series B preferred stock was converted 
into 1.4310444107 and 1.8993878755 shares of common stock, respectively.

     In January 1996, the Company repaid $3,750,000 of principal and accrued 
interest of $105,083 related to a bridge financing with a portion of the 
proceeds of the IPO.  The Company also repaid $1,500,000 of principal and 
accrued interest of $87,898 related to notes issued by Ingenex in a private 
placement.

     In February 1996, the Company issued an additional 480,000 units, at 
$5.00 per share, in accordance with the underwriter's over-allotment option.  
The net proceeds of the underwriter's over-allotment option totaled 
$2,160,000.

DEEMED DIVIDEND

     The holders of Series A and Series B preferred stock received common 
stock in January 1996 with an aggregate fair value (at the $5.00 per share 
value of the IPO) which exceeded by $5,431,871 the cost of their initial 
investment in Series A and Series B preferred stock.  This amount has been 
deemed to be the

                                       7

<PAGE>

equivalent of a preferred stock dividend.  The Company recorded the deemed 
dividend at the time of the conversion by offsetting charges and credits to 
additional paid in capital, without any effect on total stockholders' equity 
(net capital deficiency).  There was no effect on net loss from the mandatory 
conversion.  However, the amount did increase the loss applicable to common 
stock, in the calculation of net loss per share in the 1996 period.

PRIVATE PLACEMENT

     On July 31, 1996 and August 2, 1996, the Company completed a private 
placement of 1,536,000 units, each unit consisting of one share of common 
stock and one redeemable Class A warrant, for total gross proceeds of 
$16,000,000. After deducting placement agent fees and other expenses of the 
private placement, the net proceeds to the Company were approximately 
$13,795,000.

3.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     In October 1996, the Company and the underwriters determined to postpone 
the initial public offering of securities of Ingenex due to poor market 
conditions.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

     The following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements, 
within the meaning of the "safe harbor" provisions of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, the attainment of which involves various risks 
and uncertainties.  Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use 
of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "believe," 
"estimate," "anticipate," "continue" or similar terms, variations of those 
terms or the negative of those terms.  The Company's actual results may 
differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements 
due to, among other factors, the results of ongoing research and development 
activities and preclinical testing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company is a development stage company which currently conducts its 
operations through five operating companies: Ansan Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 
Ingenex, Inc., Theracell, Inc., ProNeura, Inc. and Trilex Pharmaceuticals, 
Inc. (collectively, the "Operating Companies").  Since its inception, the 
Company's efforts have been principally devoted to acquiring licenses and 
technologies, research and development, securing patent protection and 
raising capital.  The Company has had no significant revenue and has incurred 
an accumulated deficit through September 30, 1996 of approximately 
$40,132,000.  These losses have resulted from expenditures for research and 
development and general and administrative activities including legal and 
professional activities, and are expected to continue for the foreseeable 
future.

     Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1996 ("1996 
quarter") were approximately $83,000 and approximately $133,000 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1996 ("1996 nine months") from NIH grants.  There 
were approximately $90,000 in revenues for the three months ended September 
30, 1995 ("1995 quarter") and approximately $100,000 for the nine months 
ended September 30, 1995 ("1995 nine months").

     Research and development expenses for the 1996 quarter were $1,674,000, 
an increase of $736,000 or 79% from the 1995 quarter.  The increase reflects 
the addition of ProNeura, Inc. ("ProNeura") in the fourth quarter of 1995 and 
Trilex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Trilex") in the second quarter of 1996.  For 
the 1996 nine months, research and development expenses were $4,024,000 as 
compared to $4,402,000 for the 1995 nine months, a decrease of 9%.  The 
decrease reflects the deconsolidation of Ansan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 
("Ansan") effective August 1995, the cessation of operations of Geneic 
Sciences, Inc. ("Geneic") in September 1995 and the completion of certain 
sponsored research for Ingenex, Inc. ("Ingenex') in 1995, offset by the 
addition of ProNeura and Trilex.

     General and administrative expenses for the 1996 quarter were 
approximately $907,000 compared with $1,405,000 for the 1995 quarter, a 
decrease of 35%.  For the 1996 nine months, general and administrative 
expenses were $2,883,000 as compared to $3,536,000 for the 1995 nine months, 
a decrease of 18%.  The decrease was due primarily to a planned resource 
reallocation.

     As a result of the foregoing expenses, the Company incurred an operating 
loss of approximately $2,497,000 during the 1996 quarter compared with 
$2,253,000 for the 1995 quarter.  For the 1996 nine months, the operating 
loss was approximately $6,773,000 compared with $7,838,000 for the 1995 nine 
months.  The Company expects to continue to incur substantial research and 
development costs in the future as a result of funding (i) ongoing research 
and development programs at the Operating Companies, (ii) manufacturing of 
products for use in clinical trials, (iii) patent and regulatory related 
expenses, and (iv) preclinical and clinical testing of the Operating 
Companies' products.  The Company also expects that general 

                                       9

<PAGE>

and administrative costs necessary to support such research and development 
activities will increase.  The Company will also seek to identify new 
technologies and/or product candidates for possible in-licensing or 
acquisition.  Accordingly, the Company expects to incur increasing operating 
losses for the foreseeable future.

     Other income includes interest income which was approximately $179,000 
during the 1996 quarter as compared to $12,000 during the 1995 quarter.  For 
the 1996 nine months, interest income was $519,000 compared with $46,000 for 
the 1995 nine months.  This was a result of a substantial increase in the 
amount of cash and short-term investments subsequent to the IPO.  Interest 
expense increased to approximately $1,943,000 during the 1996 nine months 
from $827,000 for the 1995 nine months.  Approximately $950,000 of the 
increase for the 1996 period reflects a non-recurring charge due to the 
repayment in January 1996 of notes issued in a bridge financing ("Bridge 
Notes").  This non-recurring charge represents the unamortized portion of the 
$1,200,000 debt discount and $458,000 of debt issuance costs relating to the 
Bridge Notes.  Interest expense for the 1996 quarter was approximately 
$125,000 as compared to $501,000 for the 1995 quarter.  Approximately 
$350,000 of the expense for the 1995 quarter represents amortization of the 
debt discount relating to certain warrants issued by Ingenex in May 1995 and 
amortization of deferred financing costs.

     Other income for the 1995 and 1996 nine months also includes 
approximately $234,000 and $700,000, respectively, of losses representing the 
Company's share of Ansan's losses.  The Company's share of Ansan's losses was 
approximately $234,000 and $344,000 for the 1995 and 1996 quarter, 
respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND SOURCES OF CAPITAL

     In January 1996, the Company completed the IPO which resulted in net 
proceeds to the Company of approximately $8,622,000 after payment of 
underwriting discounts, a non-accountable expense allowance to the 
underwriter and other expenses of the offering and the repayment of the 
Bridge Notes and notes issued by Ingenex.  In February 1996, the underwriter 
of the Company's IPO exercised its overallotment option, resulting in net 
proceeds to the Company, after discounts and commissions to the underwriter, 
of $2,160,000.

     Upon completion of the IPO, the Company's previously outstanding shares 
of preferred stock were converted automatically into shares of common stock 
at adjusted conversion prices per common share less than the public offering 
price per common share.  The deemed benefit to the preferred stockholders 
approximated $5,400,000 which deemed benefit was recorded by offsetting 
charges and credits to additional paid-in capital at the time of conversion.  
There will be no effect on net income (loss) per share from the mandatory 
conversion.  However, the amount would reduce the income allocable to common 
stock, or increase the loss allocable to common stock, in the calculation of 
net income (loss) per share in the period of the conversion.

     On July 31 and August 2, 1996, the Company completed a private placement 
of its securities which resulted in net proceeds to the Company of 
approximately $13,795,000 after payment of placement agent fees and other 
expenses of the private placement.

     The Company is party to a master capital equipment lease with respect to 
which the Operating Companies have entered into a sublease and assignment 
with the Company.  At September 30, 1996, the amount outstanding under the 
equipment lease was $807,211 with monthly payments of $30,459.  The Company 
has also guaranteed the obligations of Ingenex under an assignment and 
sublicense agreement pursuant to which Ingenex received $2,000,000 in 
financing in January 1995.  Such agreement currently provides for monthly 

                                      10

<PAGE>

payments of $60,060 through January 1999.  At September 30, 1996, the amount 
outstanding under the agreement was $1,419,594.

     The Operating Companies have entered into various agreements with 
research institutions, universities, and other entities for the performance 
of research and development activities and for the acquisition of licenses 
related to those activities.  The aggregate commitments the Company has under 
these agreements, including minimum license payments, for the next 12 months 
is approximately $763,000.  Certain of the licenses provide for the payment 
of royalties by the Company on future product sales, if any.  In addition, in 
order to maintain license and other rights during product development, the 
Company must comply with various conditions including the payment of patent 
related costs and obtaining additional equity investments by specified dates.

     The Company expects to continue to incur substantial additional 
operating losses from costs related to continuation and expansion of research 
and development, clinical trials, and increased administrative and fund 
raising activities over at least the next several years.  While the Company 
believes that the proceeds of the IPO and the private placement will be 
sufficient to sustain its planned operations for approximately 18 months, the 
Company will be required to seek additional financing to continue its 
activities beyond that period.  There can be no assurance that the Company 
will be able to obtain additional funds, as and when needed.
