                              SYMBOLLON CORPORATION
                          (a development stage company)

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

Note A - Description of Business:

         Symbollon Corporation (the "Company") was originally incorporated as an
Illinois  corporation  on July 15,  1986 as  Symbollon,  Inc.  On May 21,  1991,
Symbollon,   Inc.  was  merged  into  Symbollon  Corporation,   a  newly  formed
Massachusetts corporation (which was subsequently  reincorporated in Delaware in
August 1993),  to carry on the business of Symbollon Inc. Except where otherwise
indicated,  references to the Company in these  financial  statements  and notes
thereto include the activities of Symbollon, Inc.

         The  Company  was  formed  to  develop  and  commercialize  proprietary
iodine-based  products for infection  control and  treatment in  biomedical  and
bioagricultural industries.

         The Company is in the development stage and its efforts since inception
have been principally  devoted to research and development,  securing patent and
trademark  protection and raising  capital.  In connection with its research and
development efforts, several grants under the Small Business Innovation Research
("SBIR")  program   concerning  the  Company's   technology  have  been  funded.
Management of the Company anticipates that additional losses will be incurred as
these efforts are pursued.  In 1995,  the Company  signed a marketing and supply
agreement for its first product and commenced shipping.

Note B - Accounting Policies and Disclosure:

         The accompanying  unaudited financial  statements do not contain all of
the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting  principles and should
be read in conjunction with the financial  statements and related notes included
in the Company's Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 1996 filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

         In the opinion of  management,  the  financial  statements  reflect all
adjustments,  all of which are of a normal recurring  nature,  to fairly present
the Company's  financial  position,  results of operations  and cash flows.  The
results of operations for the nine and  three-month  periods ended September 30,
1997 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.

Note C - Line of Credit:

         During the first  quarter of 1997 the  Company  established  a $500,000
line of credit with Silicon  Valley  Bank.  The line of credit is secured by the
Company's  assets  and  contains  various  restrictive  covenants,  including  a
restriction on dividends.  The line of credit has an interest rate of prime plus
1 1/2% and expires in March 1998.



<PAGE>


Note D - Capitalization:

         In May 1997, the holders of the 444,444  outstanding shares of Series A
Preferred Stock converted those shares into an equal number of shares of Class A
Common Stock.

         The Company  sold  266,667  shares of Class A Common  Stock to Bausch &
Lomb  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  in a  private  placement  on  August  4,  1997 for
$500,000,  in conjunction  with entering into a collaboration  and  sale/license
agreement  with the  Company.  The  shares are  subject  to  certain  voting and
transfer  restrictions  and may be  redeemed at cost at the option of either the
Company or the purchaser.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company is a  development  stage  company.  Since  inception of the
Company's  predecessor  in 1986,  the  Company's  efforts have been  principally
devoted to research and  development,  securing patent and trademark  protection
and raising capital,  most of which efforts commenced after May 1991. Except for
revenue  earned since 1995 on sales of IodoZyme,  the Company's  sole revenue to
date has been from research and  development  contracts with corporate  partners
and interest income.

Forward-Looking Statements

         Any  statements  set forth below or otherwise made in writing or orally
by the Company with regard to its expectations as to financial results and other
aspects of its business may  constitute  forward-looking  statements  within the
meaning of the Private  Securities  Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Although the
Company  makes such  statements  based on  assumptions  which it  believes to be
reasonable, the Company's business is subject to significant risks and there can
be no  assurance  that  actual  results  will  not  differ  materially  from the
Company's expectations. Accordingly, the Company hereby identifies the following
important  factors,  among others,  which could cause its results to differ from
any results which might be projected,  forecasted or estimated by the Company in
any such forward-looking  statements:  (i) the timely development and acceptance
of new products,  (ii) the achievement of product development  milestones by the
Company's corporate partners,  (iii) the timely receipt of regulatory clearances
required to market the Company's proposed  products,  (iv) the continued sale of
IodoZyme,  the Company's  only product,  and (v) the Company's  ability to enter
into new arrangements with corporate partners.

Results of Operations

         Symbollon's  net income for the three month period ended  September 30,
1997  was  $506,326,  reflecting  an  increase  of  $751,802  from a net loss of
$245,476  in  the  comparable  1996  period.  Symbollon's  net  income  for  the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1997 was $141,297,  reflecting an increase
of $859,482  from a net loss of  $718,185 in the  comparable  1996  period.  The
increased  net  income  for  the  three-month  period  resulted  primarily  from
increased  license fees from  research and  development  contracts and increased
product  revenues,  partially  offset by decreased  contract  revenues.  The net
increased  income for the nine-month  period  resulted  primarily from decreased
expenses and increased  license fees and product  revenues,  partially offset by
decreased  contract  revenues.  The Company may incur operating losses in future
based on its plan to increase  expenditures  to fund clinical trials in the area
of fibrocystic breast disease.

         Product  revenues  from sales of IodoZyme for the three and  nine-month
periods  ended  September  30,  1997 were  $72,000 and  $234,338,  respectively,
reflecting an increase of $38,491 and $184,097,  respectively,  from the product
sales in the comparable  1996 periods.  The increased  sales reflect in part the
Company's  efforts with its marketing  partner,  West Agro, Inc., to broaden the

<PAGE>

distribution  of the product.  At September  30, 1997,  Symbollon's  backlog for
IodoZyme was approximately $142,000 which is expected to be satisfied during the
fourth quarter.

         The gross profit margin on product  sales for the three and  nine-month
periods  ended  September  30,  1997 were 43% and 46%,  compared to 32% and 28%,
respectively,  in the comparable 1996 periods.  The increase in the gross profit
margin on product sales for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30,
1997 was primarily due to increased sales volume.

         Contract revenues for the three and nine-month  periods ended September
30,  1997 were  $17,737  and  $66,324,  respectively,  reflecting  a decrease of
$33,792 and $67,792, respectively,  from the contract revenues in the comparable
1996 periods.  License fees for the three and nine-month periods ended September
30,  1997 were  $750,000,  reflecting  an increase  of  $750,000  and  $250,000,
respectively,  from the license fees in the comparable  1996 periods.  In August
1997,  the Company  entered into a new  corporate  relationship  in the field of
ophthalmics.  The increase in license fees in fiscal 1997 was related to the new
corporate  relationship.  The  decrease in contract  revenues in fiscal 1997 was
related  to a  decrease  in the  services  rendered  by the  Company  under  its
corporate relationship in the field of dermatology.

         Research and development  expenses for the three and nine-month periods
ended September 30, 1997 were $145,632 and $428,821, respectively,  reflecting a
decrease  of  $74,785  and  $443,931,   respectively,   from  the  research  and
development expenses in the comparable 1996 periods. The decreases resulted from
decreases in labor costs  associated  with a reduction in the work force and the
discontinuation of the development  expenses,  including third party testing and
consultant  fees,  related  to the  preparation  of the 510(k)  filing  with the
Federal  Food  and  Drug  Administration   covering  the  Company's  high  level
disinfectant formulation, which has been abandoned. The Company anticipates that
research and  development  expenses will likely increase above current levels as
it prepares to begin clinical  trials in the area of fibrocystic  breast disease
in 1998.

         General  and  administrative  expenses  for the  three  and  nine-month
periods  ended  September  30, 1997 were  $164,253 and  $403,421,  respectively,
reflecting an increase of $53,688 and a decrease of $157,835, respectively, from
the general and  administrative  expenses in the  comparable  1996 periods.  The
increase for the three-month  period resulted  primarily from increased payments
to third  parties  related  to  license  fees  received.  The  decrease  for the
nine-month period resulted primarily from decreased legal fees,  insurance costs
and director  fees.  The Company  anticipates  that  general and  administrative
expenses will remain at current levels for the remainder of 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company has funded its  activities  through  proceeds  from Class A
Warrant exercises,  its initial public offering and private placements of equity
and debt securities and through loans from principal  stockholders and its bank.
Independent   research  and  development   activities  regarding  the  Company's
technology  has been funded  through SBIR grants  received and  administered  by

<PAGE>

Biomedical  Development  Corporation.  As of September 30, 1997, the Company had
working capital of $2,248,641.

         The Company has incurred a cumulative  loss through  September 30, 1997
of $5,191,782. However, the Company believes that it has the necessary liquidity
and capital  resources,  together with anticipated  future revenues,  to sustain
planned  operations for the twelve months  following  September 30, 1997. In the
event that the Company's  internal estimates relating to its planned revenues or
expenditures  prove  materially  inaccurate,  the  Company  may be  required  to
reallocate  funds  among its planned  activities  and  curtail  certain  planned
expenditures.  In any  event,  the  Company  anticipates  that it  will  require
additional funds after September 30, 1998.

         During  the  remainder  of  1997,   the  Company   anticipates   paying
approximately  $70,000 as compensation for its current executive  officers,  and
approximately $7,088 for lease payments on its facilities.  There are no planned
capital  expenditures  for the  remainder of 1997.  At December  31,  1996,  the
Company had a net operating loss carryforward for Federal income tax purposes of
approximately $5,010,000 expiring through 2011.


Part II - Other Information

Item 2. Changes in Securities

         See Note D above regarding the Company's private placement (exempt from
registration  pursuant to Section 4(2) of the  Securities Act of 1933) on August
4,  1997  of  266,667   shares  of  Class  A  Common  Stock  to  Bausch  &  Lomb
Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

Item 5. Other Information

         On August 14, 1997, the Company amended its  Collaboration  and License
Agreement with Oclassen  Pharmaceuticals,  Inc.  primarily to account for delays
incurred in the development program. The original agreement had anticipated that
an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) covering use of the Company's
chemistry in dermatology would have been filed by August 1997; however, the
development process has not advanced sufficiently to warrant such filing.  Along
with certain other changes, in the amendment Symbollon agreed to remove the time
based payment requirement for the next two milestones which were to be paid on
May 1998 and 1999. Such milestone payments will now be payable only with the
occurrence of certain events.  Additionally, the amendment deferred a portion 
of a milestone payment that was due in August 1997 until November 11, 1997.  
Oclassen has failed to pay such deferred milestone payment as required by the 
amendment.  The parties are discussing the future of the relationship, and 
Symbollon is hopeful that the relationship will proceed and that the outstanding
obligations will be satisfied.  If the parties are not able to reach agreement
regarding the payment of the outstanding obligations, it is likely that such
relationship will terminate.

                AMENDMENT TO COLLABORATION AND LICENSE AGREEMENT

         This  Amendment  to the  Collaboration  and  License  Agreement  by and
between Oclassen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Symbollon Corporation dated as of May
14,  1996 (the  "Agreement")  is made as of this 14th day of August,  1997.  All
capitalized  terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in
the Agreement.

         This  Amendment,  when  signed by the parties to the  Agreement,  shall
constitute a written amendment in accordance with Section 17.6 of the Agreement.
The parties hereby agree that the Agreement shall be amended as follows:

1. The first  sentence  of Section 2.1 after the  heading  "Formation"  shall be
deleted  and  replaced  with  the  following  language  "The  Joint  Development
Committee  will be comprised of five (5) members with three (3) being  appointed
and replaced by Oclassen and two (2) being appointed and replaced by Symbollon."

2. Exhibit C shall be amended to provide that the three (3) members of the Joint
Development  Committee appointed by Oclassen are as follows:  "1. David Hsia; 2.
Thomas Ho; 3. Mark Taylor"

3. Section 2.3 shall be deleted in its entirety.

4. Section 2.4 shall be deleted and replaced with the following language:

                  "If at any time  during the term of this  Agreement,  Oclassen
                  wishes  to  revise  the  marketing  strategy  for any  Product
                  involving  a  switch  to  OTC  sales,  either  exclusively  or
                  concurrently  with  prescription  sales,  it may so notify the
                  JDC.  If the JDC fails to reach  unanimous  agreement  on such
                  switch, the top executive officer of each party will confer as
                  soon as  reasonably  practicable  and  each  use  commercially
                  reasonable   efforts  to  effect   resolution.   Should   such
                  conference  not  resolve the  disagreement,  the JDC will then
                  determine,  by  majority  vote,  whether to permit the desired
                  revision  to  the  marketing  strategy.  If an  OTC  marketing
                  strategy is adopted following the process contemplated by this
                  paragraph,  then upon  agreement by the parties of Symbollon's
                  economic return with respect thereto, which return the parties
                  will negotiate in good faith, Oclassen will have the exclusive
                  right to make, have made, use, sell and have sold such Product
                  in the OTC market,  and the license  granted under Section 4.1
                  shall be deemed to be amended to reflect  such  right.  Should
                  the parties not reach  agreement  with respect to  Symbollon's
                  economic return in connection with OTC sales, such matter will
                  be decided by arbitration under Section 17.3"

5. In  Subsection  (b) of Section 3.2 the language  "pay  Symbollon for its work
under the  Project  Plan"  shall be  deleted  and  replaced  with the  following
language: "pay Symbollon for its research and development work under the Project
Plan (but not for any non-research work, including JDC

"(but not distribution)" shall be deleted.

7.  Subsection  4.2(b)(d)  shall be  deleted  and  replaced  with the  following
language:

                  (ii) that should Symbollon's economic return with respect to a
                  co- promotion contemplated by this paragraph not be equivalent

                  sale of such  Product  directly by  Oclassen  to an  unrelated
                  third  party  (not  to  include  the  sale  by  Oclassen  to a
                  co-promoter), then the parties will negotiate in good faith to
                  reach an agreement with respect to Symbollon's economic return
                  in connection with such  co-promotion.  Should the parties not
                  reach agreement with respect to Symbollon's economic return in
                  connection with such co-promotion, such matter will be decided
                  by arbitration under Section 17.3"

         Symbollon  shall offer to Oclassen the first  opportunity  to negotiate
