                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)


1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The accompanying  unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
     accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for  interim
     financial  information,  pursuant  to  the  rules  and  regulations  of the
     Securities  and  Exchange  Commission.  In the opinion of  management,  all
     adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary
     for fair  presentation  have been included.  Operating  results for the six
     months ended June 30, 1997, are not  necessarily  indicative of the results
     that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997.  These financial
     statements  should  be read  in  conjunction  with  the  audited  financial
     statements and accompanying notes contained in the Annual Report of GalaGen

     three months or less.

3.    INVESTMENTS

          Investments in debt securities with a remaining  maturity of more than
     three months at the date of purchase are  classified as  available-for-sale
     securities.  Management  determines the appropriate  classification of debt
     securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates  such  designation as of
     each balance  sheet date.  The book value of the  investments  approximates
     their estimated  market value. The estimated market value of investments by
     security type is as follows:

5.   LINE-OF-CREDIT

          In June 1997, the Company established a $2,000,000  line-of-credit for
     fixed assets with  Transamerica  Business Credit  Corporation which extends
     through June 1998.  Terms of the  line-of-credit  include monthly  payments
     over four  years  equal to  2.5782% of each  advance  with a final  balloon
     payment of 12.5% at the end of the four year period.  The line-of-credit is
     secured by the Company's fixed assets.  TransAmerica received a warrant for
     40,000  shares of common stock granted at the fair market value on the date
     of grant. The Company drew  approximately  $1,319,000 of the line-of-credit
     in July 1997.


6.    NET LOSS PER SHARE

          Net loss per share is computed  using the weighted  average  number of
     shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented.  The fully
     diluted  loss  per  share  assumes  the  conversion  of  preferred   shares
     outstanding prior to the Company's initial public offering (the "Offering")
     to common shares as of the beginning of the period.  The loss per share for
     periods  prior to the closing date of the Offering also gives effect to the
     requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83 (SAB 83).

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Forward-Looking Statements

     The information presented in this Item contains forward-looking  statements
within  the  meaning  of  the  safe  harbor  provisions  of  Section  21E of the
Securities  Exchange Act of 1934,  as amended.  Such  statements  are subject to
risks and  uncertainties,  including those discussed under "Risk Factors" below,
that could  cause  actual  results to differ  materially  from those  projected.
Because  actual  results may differ,  readers are  cautioned  not to place undue
reliance on these forward-looking statements. Certain forward-looking statements
are indicated below by an asterisk.

Recent Developments

     In August 1997,  the Company  announced it is  increasing  its  development
efforts  on  Diffistat-G,  its  pharmaceutical  product  for  the  treatment  of
antibiotic-associated  diarrhea,  and  development  efforts  on its  nutritional
products.  At the same time,  the  Company  announced  that it was  placing  its
Sporidin-G  clinical  trial on hold due to  continuing  decline  in the  patient
population for the product's initial  indication,  AIDS-related  Cryptosporidium
parvum  infection,  brought about by the  effectiveness and increased use of new
AIDS therapies,  including  protease  inhibitors and earlier  administration  of
combination  therapy.  The Company believes that its expenses and losses for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 will increase due to the costs  associated
with placing the  Sporidin-G  clinical  trial on hold.  Thereafter,  the Company
expects that expenses and losses for the three month periods ended  December 31,
1997,  March 31,  1998 and June 30,  1998 are  expected  to  decrease  to levels
experienced  for the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997,  as  increased
expenses  associated  with the  development  efforts of Diffistat-G  and certain
nutritional  products offset the reduction of Sporidin-G  expenses.* The Company
believes  that  significant  expenses  and losses  will be  incurred  before any
material product revenues are generated.*


Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

     General.  The net loss before preferred stock dividends decreased $480,749,
or 24.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1,456,566 from $1,937,315
for the same  period  in 1996.  The  decrease  was due  primarily  to  decreased
interest  expense  offset by increased  general and  administrative  expense and
decreased interest income.

     Research And  Development  Expenses.  Expenses for research and development
decreased  $52,510,  or 4.8%, to $1,036,352  for the three months ended June 30,
1997 from  $1,088,862 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. The decrease was
due primarily to decreased clinical trial expenses associated with Sporidin-G of
approximately  $312,000 offset by increased  clinical trial expenses  associated
with   Diffistat-G  of   approximately   $147,000  and  increased   expenses  of
approximately  $113,000 relating to the Company's other research and development
activities. As discussed above, the Company expects the research and development
expenses to increase for the three months  ended  September  30, 1997 due to the
expenses  associated  with placing the  Sporidin-G  clinical  trial on hold, and
thereafter  the expenses for the three month  periods  ended  December 31, 1997,
March 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 are expected to decrease to levels  experienced
for the three month period ended June 30, 1997.

     General And Administrative  Expenses.  General and administrative  expenses
increased  $97,680,  or 22.3%,  to $535,099  for the three months ended June 30,
1997 from  $437,419  for the same period in 1996.  Approximately  $70,000 of the
increase was due to increased  outside service charges.  As discussed above, the
Company  expects  the general and  administrative  expenses to increase  for the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1997 due to the  expenses  associated  with
placing the Sporidin-G  clinical trial on hold , and thereafter the expenses for
the three month  periods  ended  December 31, 1997,  March 31, 1998 and June 30,
1998 are expected to decrease to levels  experienced  for the three month period
ended June 30, 1997.

     Interest Income. Interest income decreased to $114,885 for the three months
ended June 30, 1997 from $202,865 for the three months ended June 30, 1996. This
$87,890 decrease,  or 43.4%, is attributable to the Company's decreased level of
investable funds.

                                       8


     Interest Expense. Interest expense was zero for the three months ended June
30, 1997 and $613,899  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996.  The interest
expense in 1996 was due to the  valuation of warrants  issued both to guarantors
of a line  of  credit  for  the  Company  and  to  purchasers  of the  Company's
Convertible Promissory Notes.

     Preferred  Stock  Dividends.   The  preferred  stock  dividend  expense  of
$7,296,844 for the three months ended June 30, 1996  represents the value of the
additional  shares issued during the period to holders of the Series D, Series E
and Series F-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion to Common Stock.

     Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996

     General.  The net loss before preferred stock dividends decreased $375,054,
or 11%, to $3,033,494 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 from $3,408,548 for
the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The decrease was primarily due to decreased
interest  expense  offset by  increased  research  and  development  expense and
increased general and administrative expense.

     Research And  Development  Expenses.  Expenses for research and development
increased  $369,845,  or 20.7%.  to  $2,155,566  for the six  months  ended June
30,1997 from  $1,785,721  for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  Approximately
$153,000  was  due  to  increased   clinical  trial  expenses   associated  with
Diffistat-G,   approximately   $151,000  was  due  to  increased  personnel  and
associated expenses,  approximately  $150,000 was attributable to an increase in
other research and development activities including expenditures associated with
nutritional products and an increase of approximately $86,000 was from increased
pilot  plant  operating  expenses.  These  increases  were  offset by  decreased
expenses of $182,000 related to Sporidin-G clinical trial activity.

     General And Administrative  Expenses.  General and administrative  expenses
increased  $196,425,  or 21.5%,  to $1,109,095 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 from $912,670 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  The increase was due
to increased personnel related expenses of approximately  $101,000 and increased
outside service expenses of approximately $95,000.

     Interest  Income.  Interest income increased to $231,167 for the six months
ended June 30, 1997 from  $207,945 for the six months ended June 30, 1996.  This
$23,222  increase,  or 11.2%, is attributable to increased  interest income from
the  investment  of funds  received by the Company from the  Offering  offset by
decreased interest income due to the decreased level of investable funds.

       Interest Expense. Interest expense was zero for the six months ended June
30, 1997 and  $918,102  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996.  The  interest
expense in 1996 was due to interest  associated  with the Company's  Convertible
Promissory  Notes and to the value of warrants  issued both to  guarantors  of a
line of credit for the Company and to purchasers  of the  Company's  Convertible
Promissory Notes.

     Preferred  Stock  Dividends.   The  preferred  stock  dividend  expense  of
$7,296,844  for the six months ended June 30, 1996  represents  the value of the
additional shares issued during such period to holders of the Series D, Series E
and Series F-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion to Common Stock.


     Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company was incorporated in March 1992. On July 24, 1992,  Procor,  the
Company's predecessor, was merged with and into the Company (the "Procor-GalaGen
Merger").  At the time of the Procor-GalaGen  Merger,  Procor was a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Land O'Lakes, Inc. ("Land O'Lakes"). Since the Company's inception
through June 30,  1997,  investments  in the Company have totaled  approximately
$50.6 million, including approximately $7.1 million of inter-company obligations
payable to Land O'Lakes which were forgiven and recorded as contributed  capital
at the time of the Procor-GalaGen Merger, $17.9 million from the Offering (after
deducting  underwriting discounts and offering expenses) and approximately $25.6
million  from  private  placements  of  equity  and  convertible  debt  and from
conversion  of accrued  interest on such debt and the exercise of stock  options
and warrants.  The Company has invested funds received in the Offering and these
private placements in investment-grade, interest-bearing obligations.

     In June 1997, the Company established a $2,000,000 line-of-credit for fixed
assets with Transamerica  Business Credit Corporation which extends through June
1998. Terms of the line-of-credit include monthly payments over four years equal
to 2.5782% of each advance with a final  balloon  payment of 12.5% at the end of
four years.  The 


                                       9


line-of-credit  is secured by the Company's fixed assets.  The Company currently
has  approximately  $1,700,000 of fixed assets in which it can receive  advances
against, and drew approximately $1,319,000 of the line-of-credit in July 1997.

     In August 1997,  the Company  announced it is  increasing  its  development
efforts  on  Diffistat-G,  its  pharmaceutical  product  for  the  treatment  of
antibiotic-associated  diarrhea,  and  development  efforts  on its  nutritional
products.  At the same time,  the  Company  announced  that it was  placing  its
Sporidin-G  clinical  trial on hold due to  continuing  decline  in the  patient
population for the product's initial  indication,  AIDS-related  Cryptosporidium
parvum  infection,  brought about by the  effectiveness and increased use of new
AIDS therapies,  including  protease  inhibitors and earlier  administration  of
combination  therapy.  The Company believes that its expenses and losses for the
three months ended September 30, 1997 will increase due to the costs  associated
with placing the  Sporidin-G  clinical  trial on hold.  Thereafter,  the Company
expects that expenses and losses for the three month periods ended  December 31,
1997,  March 31,  1998 and June 30,  1998 are  expected  to  decrease  to levels
experienced  for the three  month  period  ended  June 30,  1997,  as  increased
expenses  associated  with the  development  efforts of Diffistat-G  and certain
nutritional  products offset the reduction of Sporidin-G  expenses.* The Company
believes  that  significant  expenses  and losses  will be  incurred  before any
material product revenues are generated.*

     Cash used in operating  activities  decreased by $53,966,  or 1.4%, for the
six months ended June 30, 1997 to $3,830,587 from $3,884,553 for the same period
in 1996.  Cash used in operations  for the six month periods ended June 30, 1997
and 1996 went  primarily to fund  operating  losses and for repayment of current
liabilities.

     For the six months ended June 30, 1997 the Company  redeemed  $2,082,688 of
its  available-for-sale  securities.  The Company invested $204,456 in equipment
and tenant  improvements  related to the  Company's  pilot  plant  manufacturing
facility for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and $129,064 for the same period
in 1996. The Company invested $58,526 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 and
$20,445 for the same period in 1996 in lab  equipment,  computer  equipment  and
software and furniture used primarily to support the Company's operations.

     The Company  anticipates  that its existing  resources and interest thereon
will  be  sufficient  to  satisfy  its  anticipated  cash  requirements  through
approximately the third quarter of 1998.*

     The  Company  expects  to  incur   significant   additional   research  and
development  and other costs,  including costs related to clinical  studies,  as
well as capital  expenditures  necessary to obtain licensure of the existing GMP
pilot  plant  facility  and  to  establish   additional   commercial  scale  GMP
manufacturing  relationships,  before any material  revenues are generated.  The
Company will need to raise substantial  additional funds for longer term product
development, manufacturing and marketing activities it plans to undertake in the
future.  The Company's ability to continue funding its planned operations beyond
the third  quarter of 1998 is  dependent  upon its ability to obtain  additional
funds through equity or debt financing,  strategic alliances, license agreements
or from other financing  sources.  A lack of adequate  funding could  eventually
result in the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company. At a minimum, if adequate
funds are not  available,  the Company may be required to delay or to  eliminate
expenditures  for  certain of its product  development  efforts or to license to
third  parties the rights to  commercialize  products or  technologies  that the
Company  would  otherwise  seek to  develop  itself.  Because  of the  Company's
significant  long-term  capital  requirements,  it may seek to raise  funds when
conditions  are  favorable,  even if it does not have an immediate need for such
additional  capital at such time.  If the Company has not raised  funds prior to
such time as the Company's needs for funding become  immediate,  the Company may
be forced to raise funds when conditions are  unfavorable  which could result in
dilution to the Company's current stockholders.

     Risk Factors

     Certain  statements  made above,  including  those indicated by an asterisk
(some of which  are  summarized  below),  are  forward-looking  statements  that
involve risks and  uncertainties,  and actual  results may differ.  Factors that
could cause actual results to differ include those identified below.

     Expectation  that  expenses  and losses will  increase for the three months
ending  September 30, 1997 and  thereafter  decrease for the three month periods
ending December 31, 1997, March 31, 1997 and June 30, 1998 to levels experienced
during  the  three  months  ended  June 30,  1997.  The  Company's  products  in
development  will require  additional  research and  development  and  extensive
clinical  testing and regulatory  approval prior to any  commercial  sales.  The
amount  and  timing of  expenses  associated  with  product  development  may be
affected by any changes to trial  protocols  required by the U.S.  Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA"), the rate at which patients meeting trial criteria can be
found and enrolled,  the impact of any new, competitive  therapies on the target
patient 


                                       10


population and any other problems  encountered in clinical trials, some of which
could cause the Company or the FDA to suspend  clinical  trials.  The Company or
the FDA may  suspend  clinical  trials at any time if the  subjects  or patients
participating  in such trials are thought to be exposed to  unacceptable  health
risks.  Factors that could effect anticipated  expenses  associated with placing
the  Sporidin-G  trial on hold include  closing  certain trial sites,  closing a
laboratory testing site and certain clinical analysis that may be performed.

     Anticipated  increase in development  efforts on  nutritional  products and
associated  expenses.  The  Company  has,  under a license  agreement  with Land
O'Lakes,  agreed not to compete for 15 years in the area of nutritional products
based on polyclonal  antibody  technology  except in the area of infant formula.
Accordingly,  the development of nutritional  products would require the consent
of Land O'Lakes.  In March 1997,  Land O'Lakes granted rights to the Company for
the  commercialization  of nutritional  kefir-based  products.  In May 1997, the
Company  signed  an  agreement  with  Lifeway  Foods,   Inc.  to   commercialize
kefir-based products. No assurance can be given that such consent would be given
by  Land  O'Lakes  in a  particular  case.  The  Company  may  curtail  proposed
development  efforts  in  nutritional  foods  if  appropriate  consents  are not
obtained.

     Ability of the Company to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements through
approximately  the third  quarter of 1998.  The  Company's  working  capital and
capital  requirements will depend upon numerous factors,  including the progress
of the Company's  clinical trials and research and development  programs and the
timing  and  cost of  obtaining  regulatory  approvals.  The  Company's  capital
requirements  also  will  depend  on the  levels  of  resources  devoted  to the
development of manufacturing and marketing capabilities, technological advances,
the status of  competitive  products and the ability of the Company to establish
strategic alliances to provide research and development funding to the Company.
