Note 3 - Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per  share  for the  three and nine  months  ended  March  31,  1996 is
computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
during each period.  In  addition,  the  computation  includes the effect of the
conversion  of all shares of Series A, A1, B and C Convertible  Preferred  Stock
into  5,156,971  shares of common  stock upon the  completion  of the  Company's
initial public offering using the if-converted  method.  Common stock equivalent
shares arising from stock options and warrants are excluded from the computation
because their effect is antidilutive, except that common stock equivalent shares
arising from stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method and the
initial  public  offering  price) issued from July 1, 1994 through the effective
date of the Company's  initial public  offering on October 23, 1995 are included
in the  computation  of net loss per share as if they were  outstanding  for all
periods prior to the initial public  offering.  Net loss per share for the three
and nine months  ended March 31, 1995 is presented on a pro forma basis since it
includes the antidilutive effect of common stock equivalents.

Note 4 - Issuance of Preferred Stock and Initial Public Offering

On July  31,  1995,  notes  payable  in the  amount  of  $3,000,000  ($2,000,000
outstanding at June 30, 1995 plus  additional  borrowings of $1,000,000  entered
into during July 1995) plus accrued interest thereon were converted into 353,483
shares of Series C  Convertible  Preferred  Stock.  The  Company  also issued an
additional  295,649 shares of Series C Convertible  Preferred  Stock on July 31,
1995 generating net proceeds of $2,550,000.

The Company  completed an initial public  offering on October 23, 1995,  issuing
2,150,000  shares of its common  stock at $12.00 per share.  Upon the closing of
the  offering,  all  outstanding  shares of  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  were
automatically  converted into 5,156,971  shares of common stock.  On November 6,
1995, the underwriters  exercised an over-allotment option to sell an additional
233,450 shares of common stock at the initial public offering price. The Company
received, net of underwriters' commissions and other expenses, approximately $27
million in total proceeds from the initial public offering.

Note 5 - E-Z-EM Marketing, Sales and Distribution Agreement

In August  1995,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  with  E-Z-EM,  Inc.
("E-Z-EM"),  a leading  manufacturer and worldwide  distributor of oral contrast
agents  and  other  products  for  use in  gastrointestinal  radiology,  for the
exclusive  marketing  and sale of  GADOLITE(R)  Oral  Suspension  in the  United
States, Canada and Mexico ("E-Z-EM Agreement"). The Company


                                        7
<PAGE>

and E-Z-EM  will share  equally in profits  from the sale of  GADOLITE,  and the
Company also may receive  premium  payments  based upon product sales if certain
unit sales levels are achieved.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results 
        of Operations

This report contains certain statements of a forward-looking  nature relating to
future events or the future performance of the Company. Such statements are only
predictions  and the actual  events or results  may differ  materially  from the
results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or
contribute  to such  differences  include  those  discussed  in  "Risk  Factors"
elsewhere in this report.


Results of Operations

Revenue

To date,  Pharmacyclics  has received only limited revenues and no revenues from
operations.  For the  quarters  ended  March 31,  1996 and March 31,  1995,  the
Company reported no revenues.

The nine month  period  ended  March 31, 1996  includes in revenue two  payments
received pursuant to an August 1995 product distribution  agreement with E-Z-EM.
Under this agreement,  the Company  recorded  $250,000 as revenue (net of patent
related expenses paid to The University of Texas) for the nine month period.  In
addition, $51,000 was received under a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)
grant from the National Cancer  Institute  during the same period.  There was no
revenue received during the same period in fiscal 1995.

Research and Development

Research  and  development  expenses  totaled  $1.9 million for the three months
ended March 31,  1996,  compared to $2.5  million  during the same period in the
prior fiscal year.  This 32%  decrease was due to  fluctuations  in the level of
clinical activity relating to the Company's  products.  During the third quarter
of 1995,  the  Company  was  conducting  Phase III  studies of  GADOLITE(R)  and
completing the  preclinical  studies  required for an  Investigational  New Drug
application (IND) filing for gadolinium-texaphyrin  (Gd-Tex). By comparison, the
third quarter of 1996 included a Phase I trial for lutetium-texaphyrin  (Lu-Tex)
and Phase  Ib/II  trial  for  GdTex  both of which  required  a lower  number of
patients.  There will  continue to be  significant  quarterly  variations in R&D
expenses  related to the timing of  clinical  and  preclinical  trials and other
research activities.


                                        9
<PAGE>

Expenses  related to research and development  totaled $5.2 million for the nine
months ended March 31, 1996,  compared to $7.0 million during the same period in
the prior  fiscal  year.  This  decrease of 35% also  reflects the timing of the
GADOLITE  Phase III clinical  trial  relative to the Lu-Tex and Gd-Tex  clinical
trials.

General and Administrative

General and administrative  expenses totaled $428,000 for the three months ended
March 31,  1996  compared to  $245,000  for the same period in the prior  fiscal
year.  The 42% increase in cost was  primarily  the result of  insurance  costs,
professional services costs and other expenses related to conducting business as
a public  company.  The  Company  expects  that costs  related to being a public
company will result in higher levels of G&A  expenditures in the next and future
quarters.

General and  administrative  expenses  totaled $982,000 in the nine months ended
March 31, 1996,  compared to $728,000 during the same period in the prior fiscal
year, an increase of 26%.  This increase also resulted from expenses  related to
doing business as a public company.

Interest and Other Income

Interest income, net of interest expense,  totaled $286,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1996,  compared to net interest  expense of $50,000 for the same
period in the prior fiscal year.  The increase in interest  income is the result
of earnings on the proceeds from the initial public  offering (IPO) completed in
October 1995.  Interest  income  exceeded the payments on  borrowings  under the
Company's lease lines.

Income from interest  totaled $407,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 1996,
compared  to net  interest  expense of $96,000  for the same period in the prior
fiscal year. This is also the result of interest earned on the IPO proceeds.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company  completed an initial public  offering on October 23, 1995,  issuing
2,150,000  shares of its common  stock at $12.00 per share.  Upon the closing of
such  offering,  all  outstanding  shares of  Convertible  Preferred  Stock were
automatically  converted into 5,156,971  shares of common stock.  On November 6,
1995,  the  underwriters  of such  offering  exercised  an option to  acquire an
additional  233,450 shares of common stock at the initial 

                                       10
<PAGE>

public  offering  price  to  cover  over-allotments.  Proceeds  received  by the
Company,  net of underwriters'  commissions and expenses payable by the Company,
totaled approximately $27 million.

On July 31, 1995, notes payable  aggregating $3 million ($2 million  outstanding
at June 30, 1995 plus  additional  borrowings of $1 million  entered into during
July,  1995) plus accrued interest thereon were converted into 353,483 shares of
Series C  Convertible  Preferred  Stock.  The Company also issued an  additional
295,649  shares  of  Series C  Convertible  Preferred  Stock  on July  31,  1995
resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $2,550,000.

On March 31, 1996,  the Company had  approximately  $24.2 million in cash,  cash
equivalents and short term investments. Net cash used in operating activities of
$5.2 million during the nine months ended March 31, 1996 resulted primarily from
the net loss  incurred  during that period and a reduction  in accounts  payable
offset  partially  by  increases in accrued  liabilities,  prepaid  expenses and
depreciation expense.

The Company expects to incur ongoing levels of  expenditures  which may not only
fluctuate  from  quarter to quarter  but which are  expected  to increase as the
levels of clinical  activity for the Company's  products  increases.  Additional
expenditures may occur in commercializing  the Company's first product GADOLITE.
As a result of both these  factors,  the  Company  expects  to report  increased
expenses for  research and  development  and general and  administrative  for at
least the next several years.  The Company  currently  anticipates that Its cash
and cash equivalents will provide funding for the Company's  operations  through
at least June 1997.  Accomplishment  of future  third party  collaborations  may
affect  such timing as may  additional  equity  offerings  which the Company may
pursue from time to time.

Risk Factors

Early Stage of Development

The Company was founded in 1991 and is a development stage company.  The Company
has not  generated  revenues  from the sale of its products and expects to incur
significant additional losses over the next several years. To achieve profitable
operations, the Company, alone or with others, must successfully develop, obtain
regulatory approval for, introduce,  market and sell products.  To date, none of
the Company's  products has been approved for commercial  sale. The Company will
require  substantial  additional  funds  to  complete  the  development  of  its
therapeutic  products.  No  assurance  can be given that the  Company's  product
development  efforts will be successfully  completed or that required regulatory
approvals will be obtained in a timely manner, if at all. Moreover, there can be
no  assurance  that  providers,  payors or patients  will  accept the  Company's
products.

Dependence on Third Party Relationships

The Company has no  manufacturing  facilities for  commercial  production of its
products  under  development,  nor does the Company  have  experience  in sales,
marketing or distribution.  The Company's strategy for  commercialization of its
products  requires  entering into various  arrangements with corporate and other
collaborators  to conduct  clinical  trials and to  manufacture,  distribute and
market its  products.  There can be no assurance  that such parties will perform
their  obligations as expected or that the Company's  reliance on others for the
clinical development, manufacturing,  distribution and marketing of its products
will not result in unforeseen problems.

Except  for  GADOLITE,  which  is the  subject  of a  manufacturing  and  supply
agreement  with Glaxo  Wellcome  Co.,  the  Company  does not have,  and has not
contracted for, the  manufacturing  capacity  necessary to provide  clinical and
commercial  quantities  of the  Company's  products.  Prior  to  any  regulatory
approval of the Company's  other  products under  development,  the Company will
need to negotiate supply agreements with manufacturers who will have the ability
to  manufacture,  fill,  label and package such  materials  prior to  commercial
introduction  of such products.  There can be no assurance that the Company will
be able to enter into any such  supply  agreements  on  commercially  acceptable
terms or with  manufacturers who will be able to deliver supplies in appropriate
quantity and quality to develop and commercialize its products. Any interruption
of supply of its products could have a material  adverse effect on the Company's
results of  operations  and market  acceptance  of the  Company's  products.  In
addition, the Company is dependent on contract research

                                       12
<PAGE>

organizations for the clinical development of its products. The Company does not
currently have the ability to conduct these development  activities in house. If
one or more of these  relationships were terminated or the organizations did not
perform up to expectations,  the clinical  development of the Company's  product
candidates would likely be delayed and could be substantially impaired depending
on the availability and quality of substitute development capabilities.

The Company also has entered into a sales and distribution agreement with E-Z-EM
for North American sales,  marketing and  distribution of GADOLITE.  The Company
plans to enter into similar  agreements  to market  GADOLITE in Europe and Asia;
however, to date no such arrangements have been established.  To the extent that
the  Company  determines  not to,  or is  unable  to,  enter  into  co-promotion
agreements or to arrange for third party  distribution  of its other products or
to the extent that the agreement with E-Z-EM is terminated without a replacement
agreement,  significant additional resources will be required to develop a sales
force. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish such
a sales force or enter into such co-promotion or distribution agreements.

Uncertainty Regarding Patents and Proprietary Rights

The Company's success depends in part on its ability to obtain patent protection
for its products and preserve its trade  secrets.  The Company has not conducted
an extensive search of patents issued to other  companies,  research or academic
institutions  or others,  and no assurance can be given that such patents do not
exist,  have not been filed or could not be filed or issued which contain claims
relating to the  Company's  technology,  products or  processes.  Because of the
number of patents issued and patent  applications  filed relating to biometallic
and  expanded  porphyrin   chemistries,   Pharmacyclics   believes  there  is  a
significant risk that current and potential  competitors and other third parties
have filed or in the future will file  applications  for, or have received or in
the future will receive,  patents and will obtain additional  proprietary rights
relating to materials  or processes  used or proposed to be used by the Company.
If such  patents  have been or become  issued,  the holders of such  patents may
bring  claims  against the Company  for  infringement  which may have an adverse
effect on the  Company.  As a result,  the  Company  may be  required  to obtain
licenses from others to develop,  manufacture or market its products.  There can
be no  assurance  that the Company  will be able to obtain any such  licenses on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

                                       13
<PAGE>

The Company is aware of several  United  States  patents owned by or licensed to
Schering AG that relate to MRI contrast agents.  The Company has obtained advice
of special patent counsel that the technologies  employed by the Company for its
imaging products under development do not infringe the claims of such patents. A
determination  of the  infringement  of any such  patents  could have a material
adverse  effect  on the  Company's  business.  There  can be no  assurance  that
Schering  AG will not seek to assert  such patent  rights  against the  Company,
which would result in significant legal costs and require substantial management
resources.  The  Company is aware that  Schering  AG has  asserted  such  rights
against at least one other company in the contrast agent imaging market and that
a number of companies have entered into licensing  arrangements with Schering AG
with respect to one or more such  patents.  There can be no  assurance  that the
Company  would be able to obtain a license from  Schering  AG, if  required,  on
commercially reasonable terms, if at all.

Rapid Technological Change and Substantial Competition

The  pharmaceutical  industry is subject to rapid and substantial  technological
change.  There can be no assurance that  developments  by others will not render
the Company's products or technologies  noncompetitive or obsolete,  or that the
Company  will be able to keep  pace  with  technological  developments  or other
market factors.  Competitors  have developed or are in the process of developing
technologies  that are,  or in the  future  may be,  the  basis for  competitive
products.  Some of these  products  may have an entirely  different  approach or
means of accomplishing  similar  diagnostic,  imaging and/or therapeutic effects
than products being developed by the Company.  These  competing  products may be
safer, more effective and less costly than the products developed by the Company
and,  therefore,  may  represent a serious  competitive  threat to the Company's
product offerings.

Government Regulation and Product Approval

The  manufacture  and marketing of the  Company's  products and its research and
development  activities  are  subject to  regulation  for safety,  efficacy  and
quality  by  numerous  government  authorities  in the  United  States and other
countries.  Clinical trials, manufacturing and marketing of products are subject
to the rigorous testing and approval  process of the FDA and equivalent  foreign
regulatory  authorities.  Clinical  trials and  regulatory  approval  can take a
number  of years to  accomplish  and  require  the  expenditure  of  substantial
resources.  The  regulatory  authority  or  clinical  investigator  may  suspend
clinical  trials at any point in this process if either  entity  concludes  that
clinical subjects are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk, or for other
reasons.  Accordingly,  there can be no

                                       14
<PAGE>

assurance that clinical trials will be started or completed  successfully within
any  specified  time  period.  Delays in FDA  approval can occur for a number of
reasons,  including the Company's  failure to obtain  necessary  supplies of its
product  materials  or to obtain a sufficient  number of  available  patients to
support the claims necessary for regulatory approval.  There can be no assurance
that requisite FDA approvals  will be obtained on a timely basis,  if at all, or
that any approvals granted will cover all the clinical indications for which the
Company  may seek  approval.  The FDA may deny an NDA if  applicable  regulatory
criteria are not satisfied,  or may require  additional  clinical data.  Even if
such data is  submitted,  the FDA may  ultimately  decide  that the NDA does not
satisfy the criteria for approval. The Company submitted an NDA for its GADOLITE
product in September 1995. The Company's business would be adversely affected by
delays in FDA approvals of the manufacture and sale of GADOLITE or by failure of
the FDA to grant such approvals at all.

In addition to the drug approval requirements applicable to the Company's Lu-Tex
product for photosensitization of certain cancers, the Company will also need to
obtain  the  approval  of the FDA for the laser and  associated  light  delivery
devices  used in such  treatments.  Such  device  approval  requires  additional
submissions  and may result in additional  delays or  difficulties  in obtaining
approval for the use of Lu-Tex as a photosensitizer.

Satisfaction  of these FDA  requirements,  or  similar  requirements  by foreign
regulatory  agencies,  typically  takes  several  years  and the time  needed to
satisfy them may vary substantially, based upon the type, complexity and novelty
of the  pharmaceutical  product.  The effect of government  regulation may be to
delay or to prevent marketing of potential products for a considerable period of
time and to impose costly procedures upon the Company's activities. There can be
no assurance that the FDA or any other regulatory agency will grant approval for
any  products  being  developed  by the  Company on a timely  basis,  or at all.
Success in preclinical or early stage clinical trials does not assure success in
later stage  clinical  trials.  Data  obtained  from  preclinical  and  clinical
activities are susceptible to varying  interpretations  which could delay, limit
or prevent regulatory approval.  If regulatory approval of a product is granted,
such approval may impose  limitations  on the indicated uses for which a product
may be  marketed.  Further,  even if  regulatory  approval  is  obtained,  later
discovery  of  previously   unknown  problems  with  a  product  may  result  in
restrictions  on the  product,  including  withdrawal  of the  product  from the
market.  Delay in obtaining or failure to obtain regulatory approvals would have
a material adverse effect on the Company's business.

Health Care Reform and Third Party Reimbursement

The FDA's  policies  may change and  additional  government  regulations  may be
promulgated  which could prevent or delay  regulatory  approval of the Company's
potential products.  Moreover,  increased attention to the containment of health
care costs in the  United  States and in  foreign  markets  could  result in new
government  regulations  which  could  have a  material  adverse  effect  on the
Company's  business.  The Company is unable to predict the likelihood of adverse
governmental   regulation   which  might  arise  from  future   legislative   or
administrative action, either in the United States or abroad.

Federal and state  regulations  govern or influence the  reimbursement to health
care providers of fees and capital  equipment  costs in connection  with medical
treatment of certain patients. In response to concerns about the rising costs of
advanced  medical  technologies,  the  current  administration  of  the  federal
government has publicly  stated its desire to reform health care,  including the
possibility of price controls and revised reimbursement  policies.  There can be
no assurance  that actions taken by the  administration,  if any, with regard to
health care reform  will not have a material  adverse  effect on the Company and
the prospects for future sales of the Company's products. Further, to the extent
that these or other  proposals or reforms have a material  adverse effect on the
Company's  ability to secure  funding for its  development  or on the  business,
financial  condition and  profitability  of other companies that are prospective
collaborators  for certain of the Company's  product  candidates,  the Company's
ability to develop or  commercialize  its product  candidates  may be  adversely
affected.

Given  recent  government  initiatives  directed at  lowering  the total cost of
health care  throughout the United  States,  it is likely that the United States
Congress and state legislatures will continue to focus on health care reform and
the cost of prescription  pharmaceuticals  and on the reform of the Medicare and
Medicaid  systems.  Pharmacyclics  cannot  predict the  likelihood of passage of
federal  and state  legislation  related  to  health  care  reform  or  lowering
pharmaceutical  costs.  In  certain  foreign  markets  pricing  of  prescription
pharmaceuticals is already subject to government control.  Continued significant
changes in the nation's health care system could have a material  adverse effect
on the Company's business.

Requirements for Additional Financing and Capital

The Company  has  expended  and will  continue  to expend  substantial  funds to
complete the research,  development  and clinical  testing of its products.  The
Company  will  require  additional  funds for these  purposes  and to  establish
additional clinical and commercial-scale  manufacturing  arrangements.  However,
the actual  amount of the  Company's  capital  requirements  will depend on many
factors, including the status of the development of products, the time and costs
involved  in  obtaining  regulatory  approvals,  the costs  involved  in filing,
prosecuting  and enforcing  patent claims,  competing  technological  and market
developments and the ability of the Company to establish new  collaborative  and
licensing  arrangements.  The  Company  will  attempt  to  raise  any  necessary
additional funds through equity or debt financings,  collaborative  arrangements
with corporate  partners or from other  sources.  No assurance can be given that
such  additional  funds will be available  on  acceptable  terms,  if at all. If
adequate  funds are not  available  from  operations  or  additional  sources of
financing, the Company's business will be materially and adversely affected.

Product Liability Exposure; Limited Insurance Coverage

The testing, manufacturing, marketing and sale of the products under development
by the Company  entail an inherent  risk that product  liability  claims will be
asserted against the Company. Although the Company is insured against such risks
up to a $3 million  annual  aggregate  limit in connection  with human  clinical
trials and commercial sales of its products under  development,  there can be no
assurance that the Company's present product liability insurance is adequate.
