                       INKINE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY, INC.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION

         The accompanying financial statements are unaudited and have been
prepared by InKine Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. (the "Company") in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles.

         Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the
Company's audited annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted in
the Company's interim financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair representation of the results for
the interim periods presented.

         The results of operations for the interim periods may not necessarily
be indicative of the results of operations expected for the full year, although
the Company expects to incur a significant loss for the year ending June 30,
1998. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 1997, which are
contained in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

2.       USE OF ESTIMATES

         The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date(s) of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period(s). Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("SFAS
No. 128"). SFAS No. 128 established standards for computing and presenting
earnings per share and applies to entities with publicly held common stock or
potential common stock. This statement is effective for fiscal years or interim
periods ending after December 15, 1997, and early adoption is not permitted. The
Company adopted this statement for the quarter ended December 31, 1997. The
effect of adopting SFAS No. 128 was not material.

         The FASB recently issued three new accounting standards, Statement No.
129, Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Statement No. 130,
Reporting Comprehensive Income, and Statement No. 131, Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, and if adopted will be
effective for the period presented after December 31, 1997. The Company does not
expect that the effect of these new standards will be material.

4.       PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         As previously reported in the Company's reports filed under the
Exchange Act, as of November 6, 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding
capital stock of CorBec Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("CorBec"), a privately owned,
development-stage, bio-pharmaceutical company founded in 1993 to discover and
develop drugs to treat autoimmune disease, serious infections and
asthma/allergy, and Sangen Pharmaceutical Company ("Sangen"), a privately owned,
development-stage, bio-pharmaceutical company formed in early 1997 and focused
on the development of a potential cancer treatment technology. CorBec's
technology, which consists of compounds designed to modulate the immune system,
is licensed from the University of Pennsylvania and has been developed in the
laboratory of Alan D. Schreiber, M.D., Professor of Medicine and Assistant Dean
for Research at the 


                                       6
<PAGE>   7
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine (the "CorBec Technology"). The
most advanced product within this family of compounds, CBP-1011, is in Phase III
clinical trials for the treatment of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura
("ITP"). Sangen's technology consists of specific peptide molecules and a
polyclonal antibody developed by Dr. George Tuszynski, Professor of Surgery,
Medicine and Pathology at Allegheny University of the Health Sciences ("AUHS"),
based on a specific thrombospondin receptor, which Dr. Tuszyuski discovered (the
"Thrombospondin Technology"). In addition, in early 1997, the Company acquired
an exclusive, worldwide license to a tablet form of the aqueous sodium phosphate
purgative formula used to clean the colon for any medical purpose and for use as
a laxative (the "Purgative Product"), which is in clinical development for
colonoscopies. The Company licensed this technology from a partnership of
physicians ("ALW Partnership"), including Craig Aronchik, M.D., an attending
gastroenterologist and Head of the Endoscopy Unit at Pennsylvania Hospital in
Philadelphia and a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of
Pennsylvania School of Medicine. As of November 6, 1997, certain rights of ALW
Partnership to cancel this license lapsed. The acquisitions of CorBec, Sangen
and the Purgative Product license are referred to collectively herein as the
"Acquisitions."

         On November 18, 1997, the Company completed the third and final closing
of a private placement (pursuant to Section 4(a) of, and Rule 506 of Regulation
D promulgated under, the Securities Act of 1933) of 17 million shares of common
stock at a purchase price of $1 per share for gross proceeds of $17 million (the
"Private Placement"). The initial closing of the Private Placement occurred as
of November 6, 1997 (for 15,613,982 shares of Common Stock) (the "Initial
Closing"), and a second closing occurred on November 14, 1997 (for 1,346,018
shares of common stock). The Acquisitions were consummated in connection with
the Initial Closing. In addition, the Company changed its name from Panax
Pharmaceutical Company Ltd. to InKine Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. in connection
with the Initial Closing.

         Simultaneous with the Acquisitions, Dr. Leonard S. Jacob became
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company under a
long-term employment agreement and was issued a ten-year option entitling him to
purchase the number of shares of Common Stock equal to 7 -1/2% of the fully
diluted capitalization of the Company. The exercise price of Dr. Jacob's option
is (i) $0.61 per share for 1,200,000 shares and (ii) $1.00 per share for
approximately 1,200,000 shares. Dr. Taffy J. Williams, formerly the Company's
President and Chief Executive Officer, became President and Chief Operating
Officer of the Company following the Acquisitions. In January 1997, Dr. Williams
received an option to purchase 5% of the fully diluted capitalization of the
Company. The exercise price of Dr. Williams' option is (i) $0.61 per share for
500,000 shares and (ii) $1.00 per share for approximately 1,000,000 shares. The
exercise prices of Dr. Jacob's and Dr. Williams' options were below market value
of the Common Stock of the Company at the time of grant. Therefore, the Company
has incurred, and will continue to incur, a significant non-cash charge to
operations as a result of the option grants.

         The Sangen acquisition included the grant to Dr. Tuszynski and AUHS of
125,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company and options to purchase an
aggregate of 375,000 shares, of which options for 250,000 shares will be
exercisable upon achievement of specified milestones in the development of a new
drug candidate. In addition, Dr. Tuszynski and AUHS will be entitled to cash
royalties based on net sales and licensing fees derived from the technology. The
Company has agreed to fund additional research in Dr. Tuszynski's laboratory in
an amount ranging from $150,000 (in the first year) to $1,350,000 (over seven
years, inclusive). Dr. Tuszynski is to be engaged as a consultant to the Company
for a two-year period at a fee of $50,000 per year. The Shares issued resulted
in a charge to purchased research and development for the six months ended
December 31, 1997 of $305,000.

         The acquisition of CorBec resulted in the payment of $750,000 and the
issuance of 750,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company with provisions for
additional cash payments and stock issuances based upon the achievement of
certain milestones for CorBec's most advanced drug candidate, CBP-1011, an
orally-administered glucocorticoid analog, which is in a Phase III pivotal
clinical trial in the United States. The shares issued resulted in a charge to
purchased research and development for the six months ended December 31, 1997 of
$1,828,000. In addition, the Company has agreed to enter into three-year
consulting agreements with Dr. Alan Schreiber, the inventor of the CorBec
Technology, and with the former chief executive officer of CorBec, providing for
aggregate consulting fees over three years equal to $510,000, and for the grant
of options with respect to an aggregate of 


                                       7
<PAGE>   8
170,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company is also to fund up to $240,000 of
sponsored research in Dr. Schreiber's laboratory over the course of three years.

         Simultaneous with the Initial Closing, the Company paid $150,000 (in
addition to $100,000 paid in January 1997) to ALW Partnership in connection with
the Purgative Product license. This $250,000 resulted in a charge to purchased
research and development for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The Company
(i) will make certain payments to ALW Partnership aggregating up to $250,000
upon the completion of certain development milestones, (ii) has issued to ALW
Partnership options to purchase an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock
at a price of $0.61 per share, which are exercisable as to 250,000 shares and
will become exercisable as to 500,000 shares if certain developmental milestones
are met.

         The following unaudited pro forma information is presented for the
Acquisitions, as if the Acquisitions had occurred on July 1, 1996. The pro forma
information does not purport to be indicative of the results that would have
been attained if the Acquisitions had actually been effective during the periods
presented, and is not necessarily indicative of operating results to be expected
in the future.

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

         This report contains, in addition to historical information, statements
by the Company with regard to its expectations as to financial results and other
aspects of its business that involve risks and uncertainties and may constitute
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements reflect management's current
views and are based on certain assumptions. Actual results could differ
materially from those currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors,
including, but not limited to, the risks and uncertainties discussed under
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" contained herein and under Item 1 of the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1997 as filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

GENERAL

         The Company is a biopharmaceutical company engaged in the diagnosis and
treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. The Company pursues these
objectives through a technology platform consisting of the CorBec Technology,
the Thrombospondin Technology and the Purgative Product. The Company acquired
these technologies in 1997. See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements.

         Since commencing operations in 1993, the Company has not generated any
sales revenue, and has received nominal amounts of revenue from contracts. The
Company has funded operations primarily from the proceeds of public and private
placements of securities. The Company has incurred net losses in each year since
its inception, and expects to incur additional losses for the next several
years. The Company expects that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter,
and that such fluctuations may be substantial. At December 31, 1997, the
Company's accumulated deficit was approximately $10,199,000.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The Company incurred losses of $6,206,000 and $803,000 for the Six
Month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The Company
expects to incur additional losses in the foreseeable future. The per share loss
was $0.69 and $0.25 for the Six Month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively. Losses are expected to increase significantly in the remainder of
the fiscal year as the Company undertakes to develop the Purgative Product,
Thrombospondin Technology and CorBec Technology.

         Research and development expenses amounted to $804,000 and $424,000 for
the Six Month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
increase in research and development expenses is the result of conducting
clinical trials for the Company's drug candidate, CBP-1011, and additional costs
associated with INKP-100, the Purgative Product. Research and development
expenses are expected to continue to increase substantially in future quarters
as the Company undertakes to develop the Purgative Product, Thrombospondin
Technology and CorBec Technology. Additional research and development expenses
will include personnel to direct the clinical and manufacturing activities with
respect to the Purgative Product and the CBP-1011 Product and additional
personnel to direct the research and development activities on the
Thrombospondin Technology and other CorBec Technologies. Substantial resources
will be expended on a phase III trial currently underway with respect to the
CorBec Technology and a phase III clinical trial expected to be initiated on the
Purgative Product.

         Purchased research and development amounted to $3,880,000 in the Six
Months ended December 31, 1997 as a result of the Company's acquisition of the
CorBec Technology and the Thrombospondin Technology in November 1997, along with
additional costs associated with the earlier purchase of the Purgative Product
in January 1997. A majority of the purchase price ($2,742,000) was a non-cash
charge to earnings related to the issuance of Common Stock and options for the
technologies.

         General and administrative expenses amounted to $1,648,000 and $444,000
for the Six Month periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
substantial increase is due to an earnings charge for options issued to the COO
of the Company in connection with the restructuring of the Company and
additional amortization

for options issued to the CEO of the Company. General and administrative
expenses will continue to increase with the addition of Dr. Leonard S. Jacob as
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, and the hiring of other
administrative personnel and an expanded scale of operations associated with the
development of multiple technologies.

         Interest income amounted to $126,000 and $65,000 for the Six Months
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. Interest income has increased
and is expected to continue to increase significantly in coming quarters
reflecting the proceeds of the Company's Private Placement.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         At December 31, 1997, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and
investments of $15,232,000. Cash and cash equivalents is comprised primarily of
the proceeds from the Company's Private Placement in November 1997.

         The Company believes that with the net proceeds from its Private
Placement, its financial resources are adequate for its operations for at least
the next 24 months. The Company's future capital requirements will depend on
numerous factors which cannot be quantified and many of which the Company cannot
control, including continued progress in its research and development
activities, progress with pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, prosecuting
and enforcing patent claims, technological and market developments, the ability
of the Company to establish product development arrangements, the cost of
manufacturing scaleup, effective marketing activities and arrangements, and
licensing or acquisition activity. The Company may seek to obtain additional
funds through equity or debt financing, collaborative or other arrangements with
corporate partners and others, and from other sources. No assurance can be given
that necessary additional financing will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all. If adequate additional funds are not available when
required, the Company may have to delay, scale back or eliminate certain of its
research, drug discovery or development activities or certain other aspects of
its operations and its business will be materially and adversely affected.

         The Company plans to invest significant resources in new equipment in
the next 12 months in connection with the expansion of its research and
development activities and the addition of new personnel. The Company
anticipates incurring additional losses over at least the next several years,
and such losses are expected to increase as the Company expands its research and
development activities relating to the Purgative Product, Thrombospondin
Technology and CorBec Technology. To achieve profitability, the Company, alone
or with others, must successfully develop and commercialize its technologies and
products, conduct pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, obtain required
regulatory approvals and successfully manufacture, introduce and market such
technologies and products. The time required to reach profitability is highly
uncertain, and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
achieve profitability on a sustained basis, if at all.

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

         The Company's registration statement on Form S-1 (SEC file no.
33-83628) with respect to its initial public offering was declared effective on
January 18, 1995.

         From the effective date of the registration statement through December
31, 1997, the net proceeds of the Company's initial public offering have been
used in the following amounts and for the following purposes (amounts are
estimated):

<TABLE>
<S>                                                                <C>     
                  Purchases of equipment                            $ 134,000
                  Repayment of indebtedness                           344,000
                  Acquisition of technology                           210,000
                  Losses from operations                            4,298,000
</TABLE>

         This represents the full utilization of the total net proceeds of the
Company's initial public offering.

         Of the foregoing amounts, approximately $275,000 was paid to Amercom
Funding Ltd., a company owned by certain of the Company's former officers,
directors and stockholders. All other amounts were direct and indirect payments
to persons other than (i) directors, officers and associates thereof, (ii)
persons beneficially owning 10% or more of the Company's Common Stock, or (iii)
affiliates of the Company.
