EXHIBIT  99.    ATTACHMENT  TO  FORM  10-Q:  CONTINGENT  PAYMENT
         OBLIGATION UNITS


         In connection with the acquisition of  Hybritech Incorporated by
         the Company  on March  18, 1986,  the Company  issued Contingent
         Payment Obligation Units (CPUs).   The following  information is
         provided relative to the CPUs.

         Hybritech Sales and Gross Profits (Unaudited)
         ---------------------------------------------



                             THIRD QUARTER             NINE MONTHS
                             -------------             -----------

                           1995    1994*  1993*   1995    1994*    1993*
                           --------------------   ----------------------

                               (Millions)              (Millions)

                                                  

         Sales           $24.6    $29.8   $33.5    $74.9   $94.9   $113.9
         Gross profits   $13.2    $14.7   $16.2    $40.2   $46.8   $ 60.4



         *Includes Pacific Biotech, Inc., another subsidiary of Eli Lilly
         and Company.

         Sales for  the third  quarter were  $24.6 million  compared with
         $29.8 million during the same  period in 1994, a  decrease of 17
         percent.   Sales  declines  were  experienced in  the  Company's



         largest selling  product,  the  prostate  cancer  test,  TandemR
         Prostate Specific Antigen  (PSA), which continues  to experience
         increased competition.

         Gross profits for the third quarter  were $13.2 million compared
         with $14.7 million in the same period last year.

         In addition, the  previously announced  sale of  Pacific Biotech
         Inc. in January,  1995 contributed to  the decline in  sales and
         gross profits.

         The Company signed a  definitive agreement in September  1995 to
         sell Hybritech to Beckman Instruments, Inc.  This action follows
         the Company's announcement in January 1994  that it would divest
         Hybritech as part  of its plan  to separate its  medical devices
         and  diagnostics   businesses  from   its  core   pharmaceutical
         business.  The transaction is expected to close January 2, 1996,
         and will have no effect  on the CPU's which  will expire without
         payment.

         Computation of Contingent Payment Obligation Unit Payment
         ---------------------------------------------------------


         CPU holders are entitled to receive cash payments based upon the
         annual sales  and gross  profits of  Hybritech  over the  period
         ending December  31, 1995  if certain  performance criteria  are
         achieved.  The total amount payable for each year will equal the



         sum of  6  percent  of  Hybritech's  sales  and  20  percent  of
         Hybritech's gross  profits  for  that  year, less  a  deductible
         amount.  Sales are  defined in the Indenture  governing the CPUs
         to include net  sales of products  and royalties but  to exclude
         contract revenues.  Gross  profits are the excess  of sales over
         costs of products sold  and do not  represent the net  income of
         Hybritech.  The deductible  amount was $11 million  for 1986 and
         increases by 35 percent in each subsequent year.  The deductible
         for 1995 is $163.8 million.   The total amount  payable, if any,
         is then divided by 12,933,894 to determine  the payment per CPU.
         The maximum payment that may be made on each CPU if the criteria
         are achieved cannot, however, exceed $22.  No payments have been
         made to date.
