Allergan Ligand Retinoid Therapeutics, Inc.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Allergan Ligand Retinoid Therapeutics, Inc. (the Company) was
incorporated in Delaware in 1994 and commenced operations on June 3, 1995 to
continue the efforts of the Allergan Ligand Joint Venture (Joint Venture),
established by Allergan, Inc. (Allergan) and Ligand Pharmaceuticals
Incorporated (Ligand) in June 1992, to discover, develop and commercialize
drugs based on retinoids.
On June 3, 1995, the Company and Ligand completed a public offering (the
Offering) of 3.25 million units, each unit consisting of one share of the
Company's callable common stock (Callable Common Stock) and two warrants, each
to purchase one share of Ligand common stock. The Offering raised net proceeds
for the Company of $26.8 million. At the completion of the Offering, Ligand
contributed $17.5 million in cash, as well as warrants in exchange for (i) a
right to acquire all of the Callable Common Stock at specified future dates and
amounts and (ii) a right to acquire all rights to the 1057 product, jointly
with Allergan, currently under development by the Company. At the same time,
Allergan contributed $50.0 million in cash to the Company in exchange for (i)
the right to acquire one-half of technologies and other assets in the event
Ligand exercises its right to acquire all of the Callable Common Stock, (ii) a
similar right to acquire all of the Callable Common Stock if Ligand does not
exercise its right and (iii) a right to acquire all rights to the 1057 product,
jointly with Ligand.
2. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial information
contained therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. The results of operations for the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of
the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 1996. Net loss per
callable common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the number of
callable common shares outstanding, which was 3,250,000 at all times during the
quarter.
3. The Company invests its excess cash in money market funds and
debt instruments of financial institutions and corporations with strong credit
ratings. The Company has established guidelines with respect to the
diversification and maturities in order to maintain safety and liquidity. The
Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company's investments are
classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, with unrealized
gains and losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. The
investments are adjusted for amortization of premiums and discounts to maturity
and such amortization is included in interest income.

ALLERGAN LIGAND RETINOID THERAPEUTICS, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 1996
Allergan Ligand Retinoid Therapeutics, Inc. (ALRT) commenced operations in June
1995 and received net proceeds of approximately $26.8 million upon issuance of
3.25 million Units (the Offering), each of which consists of one share of
Callable Common Stock and two Warrants, each to purchase one share of Ligand
Pharmaceuticals Incorporated (Ligand) common stock. At that time, ALRT also
received cash contributions of $50.0 million from Allergan, Inc. (Allergan) and
$17.5 million from Ligand (the Contributions). ALRT is utilizing substantially
all of the net proceeds of the Offering and the Contributions to continue the
research and development of potential retinoid compounds.
The shares of Callable Common Stock are subject to a stock purchase option (the
Stock Purchase Option), pursuant to which Ligand, and in the event not
exercised by Ligand, Allergan, has an irrevocable option to purchase all, but
not less than all, of the Callable Common Stock outstanding at the time such
option is exercised at stated exercise prices from June 3, 1997 until the
expiration of the Stock Purchase Option on the earlier of June 3, 2000 or a
limited period of time after a major agreement among ALRT, Ligand and Allergan
is terminated due to an event of default. Ligand and Allergan also have the
option, which must be exercised together, to acquire assets related to the
development of ALRT1057.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company incurred a net loss of $6.1 million for the quarter and $11.4
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Interest income was $1.1
million for the second quarter and $2.1 million for the six months ended June
30, 1996 as a result of investment of the remaining unexpended cash held by
ALRT. Interest income of $0.4 million for the period ended June 30, 1995 was
earned on cash held during the period from completion of the offering on June
3, 1995. Interest income will decrease in future periods as funds are used in
performance of research and development activities, subject to general interest
rate trends.
Research and development expenses were $6.8 million in the second quarter and
$12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. Such expenses were $8.1
million for the period ended June 30, 1995. Expenses in 1995 include research
and development costs incurred from January 1 to June 3 by a joint venture
operated by Allergan and Ligand which were reimbursed by ALRT following
completion of the Offering. Research and development activities were performed
primarily by Ligand and Allergan under contracts with ALRT since June 1995.
Research and development expenses in 1996 are anticipated to exceed comparable
expenses incurred in 1995 due to the anticipated acceleration of development
activities.
General and administrative expenses were $0.4 million in the second quarter of
1996 and $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996. In 1995, general
and administrative expenses were $0.3 million for the period ended June 30,
1995, and related primarily to the period from completion of the Offering on
June 3, 1995.

<PAGE> 8
Allergan Ligand Retinoid Therapeutics, Inc.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (Continued)
The Company's activities will be limited to conducting research and development
under the agreements with Ligand and Allergan. The Company does not expect to
generate any revenues other than interest income during subsequent periods.
Consequently, it expects to continue to incur net losses in subsequent periods.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of June 30, 1996, ALRT had cash and cash equivalents of $42.6 million and
marketable securities of $23.8 million. Although ALRT believes that the
proceeds of the Offering together with the Contributions will be sufficient to
enable it to continue development of a limited number of products in accordance
with the Development Agreement among ALRT, Ligand and Allergan, and to
commercialize formulations of ALRT1057, if it proves safe and efficacious,
there can be no assurance that this will be the case. Until the expiration of
the Stock Purchase Option, ALRT is significantly restricted from raising
additional funds without Allergan's and Ligand's consent and there can be no
assurance that ALRT will have sufficient funds to successfully develop any
retinoid products (Products). While Allergan and Ligand may, at their option,
provide funds for further development of the Products, they are not obligated
to do so. Such funds will be advanced to ALRT, if at all, at the option of
Allergan and Ligand and the decision to make such advances must be a joint
decision. As a result, ALRT does not anticipate any future cash inflows other
than earnings on unexpended cash balances. Substantial funding will be
necessary to complete the development of and to commercialize the Products.
If the Stock Purchase Option is not exercised, ALRT would have to raise
substantial funding from third parties through the sale of securities or the
licensing of Product or technology rights. There can be no assurance that such
funds will be available or, if available, will be on commercially reasonable
terms.
In addition, until the termination of the Stock Purchase Option, ALRT is not
able to issue additional capital stock, borrow more than $1 million in the
aggregate, declare or pay dividends or make other distributions to
stockholders, merge, consolidate or reorganize or liquidate or sell all or
substantially all of its assets without the prior written approval of Allergan
and Ligand.
If ALRT does not use the available funds as provided in the Development
Agreement or otherwise breaches any of its material obligations under any of
the major agreements among ALRT, Ligand and Allergan, Allergan and Ligand may
have the right to terminate the technology license agreement among ALRT, Ligand
and Allergan, and thereby reacquire rights to all technology licensed to ALRT
thereunder, including improvements made to such technology using funds provided
by ALRT. In the event of such a termination by Allergan and Ligand, ALRT will
not receive any royalty or other compensation and it is unlikely that Ligand or
Allergan would exercise either the 1057 Purchase Option or the Stock Purchase
Option.

Allergan Ligand Retinoid Therapeutics, Inc.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (Continued)
During the second quarter of 1996, ALRT invested its excess cash in money
market funds and debt instruments of financial institutions and corporations
with strong credit ratings. ALRT has established guidelines relative to
diversification and maturities designed to maintain safety and liquidity. The
guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to take advantage of trends
in yields and interest rates. The net proceeds from the Offering, combined
with the Contributions and income on unexpended cash balances, are anticipated
to provide funding for research and development and related administrative
activities through the middle of the year 2000.
The Company does not currently maintain any line of credit agreements. The
Company believes the impact of inflation on its business activities has not
been significant to date.
This discussion may contain certain forward-looking statements. Actual results
could differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of
factors, including: (i) the Company's ability to commercialize and market its
products will be subject to the regulatory approval of government authorities
in the United States and elsewhere; such regulatory approval cannot be assured;
(ii) the Company's products are in an early stage of development and will
require extensive and time consuming clinical testing prior to
commercialization; (iii) the Company competes against a number of companies
with superior resources; (iv) the Company has announced certain interim
clinical trial results; there can be no assurance that the final results
obtained from any such trial will be substantially the same as such interim
results, or that such final results will support the regulatory filings
necessary for commercial sale.
