                                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                             (UNAUDITED)
                                                  



1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The financial statements presented herein have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the financial statements
reflect all adjustments (which consist of normal recurring accruals and
adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the financial position and
results of the interim periods presented.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        In the first quarter of 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income", which
establishes standards for determining and reporting comprehensive income and its
components. Comprehensive income represents the change in net assets of a
business enterprise as a result of nonowner transactions. The adoption of the
standard did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

3. LOSS PER SHARE

        Since the Company incurred net losses in all periods presented,
outstanding options and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,015,915 and
1,060,455 shares of Common Stock at March 31, 1997 and 1998, respectively, and
100,000 shares of convertible Series B Preferred Stock which were outstanding at
March 31, 1997 were not included in diluted per share calculations, as their
effect would be antidilutive.

4. OTHER CURRENT LIABILITIES

        Other current liabilities consist of the following:

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

General

        Algos, a development stage company, is engaged primarily in the
development and commercialization of proprietary pharmaceutical products. Since
its formation in January 1992, the Company has devoted a substantial amount of
its efforts to licensing technology, recruiting key management and staff,
developing products, filing patents and other regulatory applications and
raising capital.

        The Company has incurred losses since its inception and expects to incur
losses in the future. The Company expects that its product development expenses
will increase as the drugs that the Company currently has under development move
into advanced clinical trials and as additional drugs are developed. In January
1998, the Company initiated the filing of a sequential NDA for its most
developmentally advanced drug, MorphiDex. Upon completion of an NDA, the Company
may incur significant costs associated with the possible commercialization of
MorphiDex prior to the first commercial sale of the product, including
inventory, the establishment of a sales force, initial promotional activities
and other administrative expenses.

Results of Operations

Three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1998

Research and development:

        In the three months ended March 31, 1998, research and development
expenses were $3.2 million, an increase of approximately $55,000 or 2%, from
1997. In 1998, expenses increased due to large-scale, advanced clinical trials
of MorphiDex and the expansion of the Company's development staff since the
first quarter of the prior year. The effect of these increases was largely
offset by reduced expenses related to bioavailability studies and the costs of
manufacturing small-scale regulatory test batches of MorphiDex, which occurred
in the first quarter of 1997.

General and administrative:

        In the three months ended March 31, 1998, general and administrative
expenses were $741,000, an increase of $125,000 or 20%, from 1997. Increases
related to the general expansion of the Company's business, including
preliminary activities related to possible future commercialization of products,
were offset by lower professional fees.

Interest income:

        Interest income increased 1% in the three months ended March 31, 1998
to $564,000. The effect of lower average cash and securities balances was
offset by higher rates of return on invested funds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

        As a result of its drug development efforts, the Company has experienced
net cash outflows from operations since its inception in 1992. In the three
months ended March 31, 1998, cash outflows from operations amounted to
approximately $3.0 million compared to $2.5 million in the first quarter of
1997, primarily as a result of its increased development spending on MorphiDex.

        The Company has entered into several research and development
commitments, primarily related to its development of MorphiDex and HydrocoDex.
The Company expects that its product development expenses will

increase as the drugs that the Company currently has under development move into
advanced clinical trials and as additional drugs are developed. In addition, the
Company will incur increased expenses as a result of the planned expansion of
its research and development staff, including the cost of relocating to larger
office facilities.

        The Company's funding requirements will depend on a number of factors
including the results of its development efforts, the timing and costs of
obtaining required regulatory approvals, the development of competing
technologies, the amount of resources required for the establishment of
marketing and distribution capabilities, the execution of licensing or other
collaborative research agreements on terms acceptable to the Company, and the
cost of prosecuting and defending patents. The Company currently expects that
its cash and equivalents at March 31, 1998 will be sufficient to fund its
operations for the development of products currently in clinical trials, based
upon the Company's currently anticipated schedule of clinical trials. If,
however, additional trials are necessary or advisable or if additional products
are developed, the Company may require additional funds to complete such trials
and, in the event that revenue and income from successful product introductions
or other internally generated funds are insufficient for such efforts, the
Company will need to raise additional funds by incurring debt, issuing
additional equity or through collaborative or license arrangements.

        This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial condition and
Results of Operations contains "forward-looking" statements, within the meaning
of Section 27A of Securities Act of 1993, as amended and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that are based on management's beliefs and
assumptions, current expectations, estimates and projections. Statements that
are not historical facts, including statements which are preceded by, followed
by, or that include the words "believes;" "anticipates;' "plans;" "expects;" or
similar expressions and statements about the Company's development schedule and
future use of funds are forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that
will determine the Company's future results are beyond the ability of the
Company to control or predict. These statements are subject to risks and
uncertainties and, therefore, actual results may differ materially. The reader
should not rely on any forward-looking statement. The Company undertakes no
obligations to update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new
information, future events or otherwise.

        Important factors that may affect future results include, but are not
limited to: uncertainty associated with pre-clinical studies and clinical trials
and regulatory approval; the effect of economic conditions; impact of
competitive products and pricing; product development; changes in laws and
regulations; customer demand; possible future litigation; availability of future
financing; and uncertainty of market acceptance of new products. Readers should
evaluate any statement in light of these important factors. See "Risk Factors"
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.
