                          (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.  Basis of Presentation

         The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared by Targeted Genetics Corporation (the "Company"), without audit,
according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The
financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
(which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present
fairly the financial position and results of operations as of and for the
periods indicated.

         The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
full year.


Note 2.  Revenue Under Collaborative Agreements

         Revenue under collaborative agreements is recognized as defined under
the terms of the respective collaborative agreements. Revenue related to
milestones is recognized upon the achievement of the related milestone and when
collection is probable. Royalty payments and other similar payments due as a
direct result of such revenues being earned or received are offset against and
recognized in the same period as such revenue.

Note 3.  Subsequent Events

         In October 1996, The Company adopted a Shareholder Rights plan under
which it distributed a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of
common stock. The issuance of these rights had no dilutive effect, did not
impact reported earnings per share, and is not taxable to the Company or the
Company's shareholders. These rights could cause substantial dilution to certain
persons or groups that attempt to acquire the Company on terms not approved by
the Board of Directors.

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


Risks and Uncertainties

         The following discussion contains forward-looking statements that are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause the actual results
to differ materially from those projected. The Company's future cash
requirements and expense levels will depend on many factors, including the
successful consolidation of RGene with the Company; continued scientific
progress in its research and development programs; the results of research and
development, preclinical studies and clinical trials; acquisition of products or
technology, if any; relationships with corporate collaborators; competing
technological and market developments; the time and costs involved in obtaining
regulatory approvals; the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing
patent claims; the time and costs of manufacturing scale-up and
commercialization activities; and other factors. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of
the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly
release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements that
may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this report or
to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


Financial Condition

         The Company had cash, cash equivalents and securities available for
sale totaling $21.9 million as of September 30, 1996, compared to $14.4 million
at December 31, 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to net proceeds of
$15 million from the Company's June public offering and $1.7 million from the
acquisition of RGene Therapeutics, Inc. ("RGene"), offset by the use of $7.7
million to fund operations and $1.3 million to purchase property, plant and
equipment during the first nine months of 1996.

         The Company is a development stage company conducting gene and cell
therapy research and development. Income earned from investments and, to a
lesser degree, revenues under collaborative agreements have been its only
sources of revenue, covering less than ten percent of expenses. Gene and cell
therapy products are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development
of products based on innovative technologies. Although the Company's technology
appears promising, it is unknown whether any commercially viable products will
result from the research and development. It is not anticipated that the Company
will have any product-related revenues for a number of years. Accordingly, the
Company expects to incur substantial additional losses over the next several
years and to use its capital resources to fund preclinical and clinical research
programs, development of manufacturing capabilities and the preparation for
commercialization of its products under development.

         On June 19, 1996, the Company completed a merger with RGene, a private
biotechnology firm located in The Woodlands, Texas. As a result of this
transaction, Targeted Genetics acquired proprietary non-viral gene delivery
technology that complements the viral technologies the Company currently has
under development, a potential gene therapy product for the treatment of cancer
and key consulting and collaborative relationships with other leading scientists
in the gene therapy field. Under

OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


Financial Condition (continued)

the terms of the merger agreement, the Company acquired all the outstanding
shares of RGene stock in exchange for approximately 3.64 million unregistered
shares of the Company's common stock. The transaction was accounted for using
the purchase method of accounting and the consideration issued by the Company
was allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired. The Company
acquired approximately $1,600,000 of cash and cash equivalents in the
transaction, net of liabilities assumed from RGene.

         The Company raised $15 million through the completion of a public
offering of 4.025 million shares of common stock, including the underwriters'
overallotment option, at $4.00 per share. The net proceeds of the offering will
be used to fund continuing operations in research and development, clinical
testing and for capital expenditures. The Company currently estimates that, at
its planned rate of spending, adjusted to reflect the increased expenses
expected to result from the RGene merger, its existing cash, cash equivalents
and securities available for sale will be sufficient to meet its capital
requirements until at least late 1997. Such estimates include the impact of
future milestone payments potentially receivable under collaborative agreements.
There can be no assurance that the underlying assumed levels of revenue and
expense will prove to be accurate. In any event, substantial additional funds
will be needed to continue the development and commercialization of the
Company's products. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to establish additional
collaborative agreements with corporate partners that would provide research and
development funding and equity investment. The Company also may seek to raise
additional equity capital whenever conditions in the financial markets allow it
to do so. There can be no assurance, however, that adequate funds will be
available when needed or will be available on terms favorable to the Company.

Results of Operations

         Over the past several years, the Company's net loss has grown,
consistent with the growth in the Company's scope and size of operations. In the
near term, the Company plans additional moderate growth in employee headcount
necessary to address increasing requirements in areas such as clinical research,
manufacturing and quality control. Assuming capital is available to finance such
growth, the Company's operating expenses will continue to increase as a result.
At least until such time as the Company enters into a collaborative arrangement
providing a significant amount of research and development funding, the net loss
will continue to increase as well.

         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, revenue under
collaborative agreements increased to $753,000 and $828,000 compared to $19,000
and $100,000 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. The
increase was largely attributable to the receipt of a $1,000,000 milestone
payment, offset by royalties and other such payments due as a result of
receiving

the milestone payment. The milestone was earned through the enrollment of
patients in a U.S. clinical trial for treatment of breast and ovarian cancer.

         For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, investment
income increased to $300,000 and $639,000 compared to $228,000 and $460,000
during the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. The increases in both
periods were largely attributable to higher average cash balances for investment
and higher rates of return on those balances compared to the same periods in
1995.

         Research and development expenses were $3,634,000 and $8,432,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, and $1,943,000 and
$5,878,000 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. Expenses that
resulted directly from the RGene acquisition and the continuation of its
research, development and clinical programs were $1,024,000 and $1,085,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996. Approximately $304,000 of
non-recurring termination payments and other payroll-related expenses were
included in the third quarter expenses. Additional factors that contributed to
the increases in both the three- and nine-month periods were a moderate increase
in the level of expenses for development, manufacturing, and quality control as
well as additional employees and related expenses in preclinical immunology.

         A one-time expense resulting from the acquisition of RGene was charged
against income in the second quarter of 1996. The RGene purchase price exceeded
the fair value of tangible assets acquired by $13,518,000. This amount was
allocated to RGene's existing in-process technology and was written off in the
second quarter to in-process research and development expense.

         General and administrative expenses were $835,000 and $2,006,000 for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996, and $448,000 and $1,683,000
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1995. The Company incurred
expenses resulting directly from the RGene acquisition of $300,000 and $312,000
for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996. Such expenses
are not expected to continue in future periods due to the closure of RGene's
offices and transfer of all administration functions to Targeted Genetics. In
addition to the RGene expenses, the Company experienced a moderate expense
increase related to corporate development activities.

         Interest expense was $104,000 and $299,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1996, and $77,000 and $230,000 for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 1995. The increases in both periods were attributable
to additional equipment leases entered into by the Company.
