1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES 

THE COMPANY

     Ansan, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Delaware on 
November 6, 1992 to engage in the development of analogs of butyric acid for 
the treatment of cancer, blood disorders and other serious diseases.  The 
Company is in the development stage.

RELATIONSHIP WITH TITAN PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.

     Titan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Titan"), a biopharmaceutical company
engaged, through the operations of its subsidiaries and affiliates, in the
development of new proprietary therapeutic products for use in the fields of
cancer, immunology, viral diseases, and disorders of the central nervous
system, was the Company's parent until the Company's initial public offering
(the "IPO") in August 1995.  Subsequent to the IPO, Titan's ownership interest
was reduced to 43%.  At September 30, 1997, Titan owned approximately 32% of
the Company.

     In March 1997, Ansan and Titan entered into an agreement for financing
pursuant to which Titan advanced Ansan $1,000,000 in return for a debenture
(the "Debenture") which was convertible at any time prior to June 21, 1997 into
333,333 shares of common stock.  Titan did not convert the Debenture prior to
June 21, 1997.  The Debenture bears interest at prime plus 2% and is due in
April 1998.  In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, Ansan granted
Titan an option to acquire an additional 333,333 shares of Ansan common stock
for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The option expired unexercised
on June 21, 1997.

     The Company contracts with Titan for limited financial and administrative
services.  Titan has previously supplied working capital financing to the
Company and may in the future provide such financing.  As part of its
affiliation with Titan, the Company and Titan have a number of members in
common of their respective boards of directors.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been 
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals for 
interim financial information and with the instructions to form 10-QSB and 
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the 
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principals for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, 
all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered for fair 
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three- and 
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of 
the results that may expected for the year ending December 31, 1997.  For 
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes thereto included in the Company's 1996 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB.

     The Company's activities since incorporation have consisted primarily of 
conducting research and development, performing business and financial 
planning and raising capital.  Accordingly, the Company is considered to be 
in the development stage and expects to incur increasing losses and require 
additional financial resources to achieve commercialization of its products. 
The Company also depends on third parties to conduct certain research on the 
Company's behalf through various research arrangements.  All of the Company's 
current products under development are the subject of license agreements that 
may require the payment of future royalties.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Net loss per share for the three- and nine-month periods ended September
30, 1996 and September 30, 1997 is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding, reduced by the number of shares held in escrow
(see Release of Escrowed Shares and Options below).  Common equivalent shares
are excluded from the calculation as their effect is antidilutive.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement No. 128 "Earnings Per Share", which is required to be adopted on
December 31, 1997.  At that time, the Company will be required to change the
method currently used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior
periods.  Under the new requirements for calculating primary earnings per
share, the dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact is
not expected to result in a change in reported earnings per share for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996, as the
Company incurred net losses in those periods, and accordingly, the calculation
of earnings per share for those periods excluded stock options as their effect
was antidilutive.

RELEASE OF ESCROWED SHARES AND OPTIONS

     In connection with the IPO, certain stockholders of the Company placed an
aggregate of 365,983 shares of Common Stock (the "Escrow Shares"), and the
current holders of certain options which are exercisable at less than the
initial public offering price of $5.00 placed options to purchase 34,017 shares
(the "Escrow Options"), into escrow pending the Company's attainment of certain
revenue or share price goals.  The Securities and Exchange Commission has taken
the position with respect to the release of securities from escrow that in the
event any of the Escrow Shares or Escrow Options are released from escrow to
directors, officers, employees or consultants of the Company, the release will
be treated, for financial reporting purposes, as a compensation expense to the
Company.  Accordingly, the Company will, in the event of the release of the
Escrow Shares and Escrow Options, recognize during the period in which the
earnings or market price targets are met what could be a substantial one-time
charge which would substantially increase the Company's loss or reduce or
eliminate earnings, if any, at such time.  The amount of compensation expense
recognized by the Company will not affect the Company's total stockholders'
equity.

2. PROPOSED MERGER WITH DISCOVERY LABORATORIES, INC.

     In July of 1997 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization and Merger with Discovery Laboratories, Inc. ("Discovery"), a
privately-held development stage biotechnology company, pursuant to which
Discovery will be merged with and into Ansan.  The parties also entered into a
Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Discovery has purchased shares of a
new class of convertible preferred stock of Ansan for aggregate cash
consideration of $1,300,000, representing a common stock equivalent price of
approximately $1.40 per share.

     In connection with these transactions, Ansan has entered into a sublicense
agreement with Titan.  Pursuant to the agreement, and contingent upon
completion of the merger, Titan will receive an exclusive worldwide sublicense
to certain butyrate compounds licensed by Ansan for certain indications in
exchange for Titan's payment of a 2% royalty on net sales and Titan's transfer
to Ansan of all its equity holdings in Ansan.

                                       7


<PAGE>

    The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions,
including approval by the stockholders of Ansan and Discovery.  If the merger
is completed, it is anticipated that the shareholders of Discovery will be
issued securities representing approximately 90% of the outstanding stock of
the combined entity.  In the event the merger is not completed, the preferred
stock held by Discovery may, under certain circumstances, be convertible into
shares of common stock representing 51% of Ansan's then outstanding shares.  In
such circumstances, Ansan would have the right to redeem the preferred stock
for $1,300,000 plus a redemption premium of $13,000 per month that the stock is
outstanding.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATIONS

     This Form 10-QSB contains forward-looking statements.  These forward-
looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause
actual results to differ materially from stated expectations.  These risks and
uncertainties include but are not limited to: timeliness of completion, if
ever, of the merger with Discovery Laboratories, Inc.; timeliness of
completion, if at all of IND filings; FDA approval of IND's if filed;
timeliness of commencement, if ever, of clinical trials; timeliness of
completion, if ever, of clinical trials; changing requirements for regulatory
approval; technological uncertainties; the impact of competitive products and
pricing; future availability of capital; uncertainties arising from patents;
and a number of other risks, including those described above, those set forth
in the Company's 1996 annual report on form 10-KSB and other reports filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission; and those which may not be identifiable
as yet.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company is in the development stage.  Since its inception in November
1992, the Company's efforts have been principally devoted to research and
development, securing patent protection and raising capital.  From inception
through September 30, 1997, the Company has sustained cumulative losses of
approximately $10,550,000.  These losses have resulted from expenditures in
connection with research and development and general and administrative
activities, including legal and professional activities.

     Through September 30, 1997, research and development expenses since
inception have been approximately $6,740,000 and general and administrative
expenses since inception have been approximately $3,639,000.  Total research
and development expenses were approximately $132,000 and $759,000 during the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, compared with
approximately $472,000 and $935,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996, a decrease of approximately 258% and 23% for the three- and
nine-month periods, respectively.  The higher level of expenditures during the
three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996 can be largely
attributed to an issuance of stock to a member of management, a portion of
which was allocated to research and development.
     Total general and administrative expenses were approximately $197,000 and
$725,000 during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997,
compared with approximately $351,000 and $793,000 for the three- and nine-month
periods ended September 30, 1996, a decrease of approximately 78% and 9% for
the three- and nine-month periods, respectively. The higher level of
expenditures during the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 1996
can also be largely attributed to the issuance of stock to a member of
management, a portion of which was allocated to general and administrative
expenses.
     
     Interest income was approximately $33,000 and $73,000 for the three- and
nine-month periods ended September 30, 1997, respectively, compared with
approximately $36,000 and $130,000 for the three- and nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996.  This decrease is the result of declining cash balances.
The Company has also incurred interest expense of approximately $57,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997, related to the $1,000,000 

                                       9


<PAGE>

note payable to Titan (see Liquidity and Capital Resources).  The Company had 
no interest bearing debt for the comparable period in 1996.
     
     The Company expects to continue to incur substantial research and
development costs in the future due to ongoing and new research and development
programs, manufacturing of products for use in clinical trials, patent and
regulatory activities, and preclinical and clinical testing of the Company's
products.  In May of 1996, the Company signed a licensing agreement with
Boehringer Ingelheim GmbH to acquire the rights in the United States and the
European Union to develop a new intravenous formulation of the drug Apafant for
all clinical indications.  The Company expects to incur substantial research
and development costs related to this acquisition.  The Company also expects
that general and administrative costs necessary to support clinical trials,
research and development, manufacturing and the creation of a marketing and
sales organization, if warranted, will increase in the future.  Accordingly,
the Company expects to incur increasing operating losses for the foreseeable
future.  There can be no assurance that the Company will ever achieve
profitable operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     In August and September 1995, the Company completed an IPO which resulted
in net proceeds to the Company, after deduction of underwriting discounts and
commissions and other expenses of the IPO, of approximately $5,950,000. As of
September 30, 1997, the Company had working capital of approximately $985,000.

     In March 1997, Ansan and Titan entered into an agreement for financing
pursuant to which Titan advanced Ansan $1,000,000 in return for a debenture
(the "Debenture") which was convertible at any time prior to June 21, 1997 into
333,333 shares of common stock.  Titan did not convert the Debenture prior to
June 21, 1997.  The Debenture bears interest at prime plus 2% and is due in
April 1998.  In connection with the issuance of the Debenture, Ansan granted
Titan an option to acquire an additional 333,333 shares of Ansan common stock
for an aggregate purchase price of $1,000,000.  The option expired unexercised
on June 21, 1997.

     In July of 1997 the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization and Merger with Discovery Laboratories, Inc. ("Discovery"), a
privately-held development stage biotechnology company, pursuant to which
Discovery will be merged with and into Ansan.  The parties also entered into a
Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which Discovery has purchased shares of a
new class of convertible preferred stock of Ansan for aggregate cash
consideration of $1,300,000, representing a common stock equivalent price of
approximately $1.40 per share.

    In connection with these transactions, Ansan has entered into a sublicense
agreement with Titan.  Pursuant to the agreement, and contingent upon the
completion of the merger, Titan will receive an exclusive worldwide sublicense
to certain butyrate compounds licensed by Ansan for certain indications in
exchange for Titan's payment of a 2% royalty on net sales and Titan's transfer
to Ansan of all its equity holdings in Ansan.

     The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions,
including approval by the stockholders of Ansan and Discovery.  If the merger
is completed, it is anticipated that the 

                                       10


<PAGE>

shareholders of Discovery will be issued securities representing 
approximately 90% of the outstanding stock of the combined entity.  In the 
event the merger is not completed, the preferred stock held by Discovery may, 
under certain circumstances, be convertible into shares of common stock 
representing 51% of Ansan's then outstanding shares.  In such circumstances, 
Ansan would have the right to redeem the preferred stock for $1,300,000 plus 
a redemption premium of $13,000 per month that the stock is outstanding.

     The Company believes that it has necessary capital to sustain planned
operations through July 1998.  In the event that the Company's internal
estimates relating to its planned expenditures prove materially inaccurate, the
Company may be required to reallocate funds among its planned activities or to
curtail certain planned expenditures.  In any event, the Company anticipates
that it will require substantial additional financing after such time in order
to continue its research and development capabilities, fund operating expenses,
pursue regulatory approval, and build production, sales, and marketing
activities, as necessary.  There can be no assurance as to the availability or
terms of any additional financing, when and if needed.  In the event that the
Company fails to raise any funds it requires, it may be necessary for the
Company to curtail its activities significantly or to cease operations
altogether.
