              AMERICAN DRUG COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

       NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(1)  Long-term debt

     In July 1996, the Company issued a convertible note (the
"Note") in the principal amount of $1,000,000 in a private
offering (the "Offering"). The Company received net proceeds of
$950,000 from the Offering.  The Note matures on June 30, 2001,
bears interest at the rate of 7% per annum, and is convertible
into shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price
of $.25 per share.  In connection with the Offering, National
Patent Development Corporation (National Patent) issued warrants
to purchase an aggregate of 82,306 shares of National Patent
common stock, exercisable at a price of $12.15 per share,
provided that the warrants may only be exercised utilizing the
Note.  In the event that the closing price of the common stock of
the Company is at least $1.00 per share for at least 20
consecutive trading days, the Notes shall be subject to
redemption at the election of the Company, at a redemption price
of 100% of the principal amount called for redemption, together
with accrued interest.

     The Company and National Patent have agreed that (i) if the
Notes are used to exercise the warrants prior to a default on the
Notes, National Patent will receive from the Company, in exchange
for the Notes shares of the Company's common stock at a price
equal to 60% of its then current market value, and (ii) if the
Notes are used to exercise the warrants after a default on the
Notes, National Patent will receive from the Company, in exchange
for the Notes shares of the Company's common stock at a price
equal to 25% of its then current market value.

                    AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

                     Results of Operations
Overview

     The Company commenced operations in January 1990 as NPD
Trading (USA), Inc., which is now its wholly-owned subsidiary.
Since its inception, the Company has focused on assisting western
business to develop trade, manufacturing and investment
opportunities in Russia, the Czech and Slovak Republics and to a
lesser extent, other countries of the CIS.  In late 1993, the
Company began the implementation of its plan for the export of
American-made generic prescription drugs and over-the-counter
health care products in both Russia and the CIS.  The Company
received regulatory approvals in 1994 to market certain of its
products.  The Company's strategy in 1995 and thereafter is to
focus its efforts and resources on marketing and distribution in
the generic pharmaceutical business, over the counter
pharmaceuticals and the sale of medical equipment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     At September 30, 1996, the Company had cash of $917,000 and
the Company had borrowed the full $2.5 million provided for under
its loan agreement from National Patent. These proceeds were to
be used as part of the Company's working capital.  Such
borrowings bear interest at the prime rate, with principal and
accrued interest due on August 5, 1999.

     National Patent had agreed to continue funding the Company
through September 30, 1996 pursuant to the same terms and
conditions as the existing loan agreement.  As of September 30,
1996, the Company had borrowed $3,222,000 from National Patent
and had incurred interest of $385,000.

     Based upon the proceeds from the $1,000,000 Convertible Note
(See Note 1) the Company believes that it will have sufficient
cash and cash equivalents to satisfy its cash requirements
through December 31, 1996.  There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to raise additional capital or that the
terms of such transactions will be favorable.

     The Company does not manufacture, and does not anticipate
manufacturing, any of its products.  As a consequence, the
Company has not made, and does not anticipate making, any major
capital expenditures.

              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)




Results of Operations


Quarter Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Quarter Ended
September 30, 1995

     Revenues.  In the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the
Company had revenues of approximately $328,000 as compared to
revenues of approximately $240,000 for the quarter ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase in revenues of $88,000 was due
primarily to increased consulting fees.  The increased consulting
revenues are primarily attributable to a contract between ICF
Kaiser, Inc. and the Company's NPD Trading, Inc. subsidiary.

     General and Administrative Expenses.  General  and
administrative expenses consist primarily of office rent,
salaries, travel and related costs and legal expenses.  Direct
costs relating to consulting revenues are included in general and
administrative expenses.  The Company's general and
administrative expenses decreased from $455,000 in the third
quarter of 1995 to $420,000 in the third quarter of 1996.  This
decrease in general and administrative expenses in 1996 was due
principally to the start up expenses incurred in 1995 for the
implementation of the Company's plan to export American-made
generic pharmaceutical products.

     Net Loss.  The Company's net loss was reduced to $286,000
for the third quarter of 1996 from $404,000 in the third quarter
of 1995.  The reduced loss for the quarter ended September 30,
1996, was the result of increased revenues and reduced general
and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1996,
partially offset by increased interest expense incurred under the
loan agreement with National Patent in 1996, as well as interest
incurred on the Convertible Note.

   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

              AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)




Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months
Ended September 30, 1995

     Revenues.  For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, the
Company had revenues of approximately $1,064,000, compared to
revenues of approximately $363,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995.  The increase in revenues of $701,000 was due
to the sale of medical equipment and generic drugs in the
Commonwealth of Independent States, as well as increased
consulting revenue. The increased consulting revenues are
primarily attributable to a contract between ICF Kaiser, Inc. and
the Company's NPD Trading, Inc. subsidiary.

     General and Administrative Expenses.  General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of office rent,
salaries, travel and related costs and legal expenses.  Direct
costs relating to consulting revenues are included in general and
administrative expenses.  The Company's general and
administrative expenses decreased from $1,219,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 to $1,182,000 for the nine months
ended September 30, 1996 principally due to the start up expenses
incurred in 1995 for the implementation of the Company's plan to
export American-made generic pharmaceutical products.

     Net Loss.  The Company's net loss decreased to $955,000 for
the nine months of 1996 from $1,186,000 for the nine months of
1995 due to the increased revenues and reduced general and
administrative expenses, partially offset by increased interest
expense incurred under the loan agreement with National Patent,
as well as interest incurred on the Convertible Note.
