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 nine month period ended September 30, 1996, are not necessarily
     indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December
     31, 1996.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with
     the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal
     year ended December 31, 1995, contained in the Company's Prospectus dated
     March 27, 1996.

2.   CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

          Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments
     purchased at cost, which approximate market, with original maturities of
     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 marketable
     securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt
     securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of
     each balance sheet date.  Debt securities are classified as available-for-
     sale as of September 30, 1996.  The Company considers the net unrealized
     gain (loss) on these investments to be temporary, and as such has recorded
     it through shareholders' equity.  The amortized cost and estimated market
     value of investments are as follows:




                                                               GROSS               GROSS             ESTIMATED

4.   PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost.  Depreciation and
amortization are provided for on the straight line method.  At September 30,
1996, construction in progress consisted of leasehold improvements in connection
with the Company's pilot plant manufacturing facility (see Note 5 of Notes to
Financial Statements below).  At September 30, 1996, property and equipment
consisted of the following:

5.   COMMITMENTS

          During June 1996 the Company entered into a series of leasing
     agreements with Cargill Leasing Corporation ("Cargill") which includes a
     Commitment Letter, Master Equipment Lease and an Agreement for Progress
     Payments (the "Agreements").  The Agreements provide that the Company may
     purchase up to $1,100,000 of manufacturing equipment for the Company's
     pilot plant facility through lease take-downs from Cargill.  The lease
     take-down at September 30, 1996, was approximately $232,000.  The Company
     expects that the lease take-downs will end in December 1996 at which time
     full lease payments will commence for a period of seven years with the
     Company's option to extend for an additional 12 months.  Interest upon
     commencement of full lease payments will be computed on a weighted average
     of LIBOR and the rate on five year U.S. Treasury Notes.  Prior to the
     commencement of full lease payments, the Company is required to make
     interest payments at prime plus 2% on the lease take-down.  The lease is
     guaranteed by Land O' Lakes, Inc. This lease will be structured as an
     operating lease in accordance with FASB 13.

          During June 1996, the Company entered into a five year lease agreement
     with Land O' Lakes, Inc. for specified space within the Land O' Lakes
     facility in connection with the Company's pilot plant  manufacturing
     facility.  The lease calls for annual payments of approximately $86,000 and
     can be extended for additional one year periods at the option of the
     Company.


6.   LINE OF CREDIT

          In January 1996, the Company entered into a $2.7 million line of
     credit agreement with a commercial bank, which expired with the closing of
     the Company's initial public offering (the "Offering") on April 1, 1996. 
     Loans under this line of credit were to be guaranteed by six parties and
     the guarantee was collateralized by letters of credit posted by them in the
     aggregate amount of $2.7 million.  In consideration for the guarantees and
     letters of credit posted by these parties, the Company issued warrants to
     purchase an initial aggregate of 162,014 shares of common stock at $7.00
     per share. 

          In connection with this transaction, each of John Pappajohn and Land
     O'Lakes, Inc., guaranteed $500,000 of the $2.7 million line of credit, and
     in exchange received a warrant to purchase 30,003 shares of common stock at
     $7.00 per share.  John Pappajohn is a director and shareholder of the
     Company. Land O'Lakes, Inc. is a shareholder and has a representative
     serving on the board of directors of the Company.

          In January 1996, the Company issued two convertible promissory notes
     for $375,000 and $125,000 to two investment funds controlled by Investment
     Advisers, Inc., which is a shareholder and has a representative serving on
     the board of directors of the Company.  The notes became due on completion
     of the Offering.  The notes were convertible into Series E Preferred Stock
     at the option of the holder.  In connection with these notes, the Company
     issued warrants to purchase 30,003 shares which are identical to the line
     of credit warrants described above.  The notes have been repaid.  

7.   REVERSE STOCK SPLIT

          On January 19, 1996, the Board approved a reverse stock split of
     3.6923-for-1 for the Company's outstanding common stock.  The Company's
     shareholders approved this reverse stock split in March 1996.  All
     information in the financial statements with respect to the common stock
     and to the conversion prices and ratios of all the preferred stock have
     been adjusted to reflect this change.  The reverse stock split had no
     effect on the numbers of shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding
     (as opposed to the conversion prices of all the preferred stock and the
     numbers of shares of common stock into which the preferred stock will
     convert).


                                        7



8.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

          GalaGen Inc. consummated the Offering on April 1, 1996, which
     consisted of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a $10 per share price to
     the public.  All of the Company's preferred stock mandatorily converted
     into common stock immediately prior to the closing of the Offering.  Series
     A Preferred Stock converted on a 1-for-1 basis, Series B Preferred Stock
     converted on a 1.625-for-1 basis, Series C Preferred Stock converted on a
     1.667-for-1 basis.  The terms of the Series D, Series E and Series F-1
     Preferred Stock provided that the conversion prices of such stock be
     automatically adjusted to reflect the lower of their effective conversion
     price at the time of closing or 70% of the initial public offering price in
     the Offering.  The $7,296,844 value of  the additional shares received due
     to such adjustments by the holders of Convertible Promissory Notes (which
     converted into Series D Preferred Stock) and the Series E and Series F-1
     Preferred stock upon conversion, based on a conversion price of 70% of the
     Offering price of $10 per share, was recorded in the second quarter of 1996
     as a preferred stock dividend and an increase to the net loss to arrive at
     net loss available to holders of common stock in the calculation of net
     loss per share.

          Additionally, the 192,017 common stock warrants issued for
     consideration for the guarantee of the Company's $2,700,000 line of credit
     and for the $375,000 and $125,000 promissory notes described above in Note
     6 provide that the exercise price be equal to 70% of the Offering price. 
     The difference between the Offering price and exercise price multiplied by
     the number of warrants, plus the intrinsic value of  the warrants was
     $768,064.  Of that amount, $160,000 was recorded in the first quarter of
     1996 as interest expense, and $608,064 was recorded as interest expense in
     the second quarter of 1996.

9.   EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN

          In March 1996, the Company adopted the Employee Stock Purchase Plan
     whereby 270,833 shares of common stock have been reserved.  All employees
     who have met the service eligibility requirements are eligible to
     participate and may direct the Company to make payroll deductions of one to
     ten percent of their compensation during a purchase period for the purchase
     of shares under the plan.  Participants may purchase up to 5000 shares of
     common stock for a given purchase period provided the fair market value of
     the stock is not more than $25,000 (determined at the beginning of each
     purchase period). The plan provides a participating employee the right,
     subject to certain limitations, to purchase the Company's common stock at a
     price equal to the lower of 85% of the fair market value of the Company's
     common stock on the first day, or the last day, of the applicable purchase
     period.  The first purchase commenced on July 1, 1996, and will end on
     December 31, 1996.  Subsequent purchase periods will run for twelve months.

10.  LOSS PER SHARE

          The primary loss per share is based on the weighted average common
     shares outstanding during the period. The fully diluted loss per share
     assumes the conversion of preferred shares outstanding prior to the initial
     public offering to common shares as of the beginning of the period. The
     loss per share for periods prior to April 1, 1996, the closing date of the
     Offering, also gives effect to the requirements of Staff Accounting
     Bulletin No. 83 (SAB 83).

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

          GENERAL

               GalaGen Inc. is developing oral therapeutics that target life-
          threatening and infectious diseases such as those caused by
          antibiotic-resistant and emerging pathogens. The Company's naturally
          derived immunotherapeutics are comprised of concentrated pathogen-
          specific polyclonal antibodies which the Company produces in
          concentrated form using its proprietary immunization technology. The
          Company's products in development address serious gastrointestinal
          infections complicating AIDS, cancer and antibiotic therapy, as well
          as peptic ulcer disease. GalaGen's lead product in development,
          Sporidin-G, is a polyclonal antibody product with specificity for
          Cryptosporidium parvum, a parasite which causes chronic, life-
          threatening diarrhea in AIDS and other immunocompromised patients.

          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

          THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995

               GENERAL.  The net loss of $1,955,731 for the three months ended
          September 30, 1996, increased from the net loss of $994,567 for the
          three months ended September 30, 1995, due in part to a $404,393 gain
          in the earlier period from debt reduction settlements of the
          Company's terminated transgenics program. Historical spending levels
          are not indicative of future spending levels because the Company has
          entered a period of rapid growth in product development activity,
          which will include substantial increases in costs relating to
          personnel, research and development activity, small-scale
          manufacturing facilities and accelerated clinical trial activity.  For
          these reasons, the Company believes its expenses and losses have and
          will continue to increase dramatically before any material product
          revenues are generated.

               RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Expenses for research and
          development increased to $1,659,079 for the three months ended
          September 30, 1996, from $794,325 for the three months ended September
          30, 1995. Approximately $415,000 of the $864,754 increase was due to
          increased spending for the Company's clinical trials, particularly
          Sporidin-G.  The remaining increase is a result of expanded research
          and development program spending, including additional research and
          development personnel expense. The Company expects research and
          development expenses to continue to increase as  the Company's
          clinical trial activity accelerates, particularly expenses associated
          with the development of Sporidin-G as the Company continues to expand
          the number of clinical sites necessary to enroll the number of
          patients that will be required to complete its ongoing Phase II/III
          nationwide clinical trial.

               GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative
          expenses of $493,226 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
          were substantially equal to the $494,449 expense for the three months
          ended September 30, 1995.  Increased non-cash deferred compensation
          expense was offset by decreased administrative support.  

               INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Interest income increased to
          $205,476 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, from $20,670
          for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase is
          attributable to the Company's increased level of investable funds
          which resulted from the  Offering.  Interest expense decreased to
          $8,902 for the three months ended September 30, 1996, from $130,856
          for the three months ended September 30, 1995.  The $121,954 decrease
          was due primarily to decreased Convertible Promissory Note interest
          expense due to the conversion of such notes into common stock upon the
          Offering.

               EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT.  The extraordinary
          gain on extinguishment of debt of $404,393 for the three months ended
          September 30, 1995, related to certain debt reduction settlements
          regarding the Company's terminated transgenics program.

          NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996, AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1995
       
               GENERAL.  The net loss before preferred stock dividends of
          $5,364,279 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, increased
          from the net loss of $4,077,018 for the three months ended September
          30, 1995.  Historical spending levels are not indicative of future
          spending levels because the Company has entered a period of rapid


                                        9



          growth in product development activity, which will include substantial
          increases in costs relating to personnel, research and development
          activity, small-scale manufacturing facilities and accelerated
          clinical trial activity.  For these reasons, the Company believes its
          expenses and losses have and will continue to increase dramatically
          before any material product revenues are generated.

               RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES.  Expenses for research and
          development increased to $3,444,800 for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1996, from $3,063,490 for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1995.  The increase of $381,310 was due primarily to
          increased clinical trial expense and  research and development
          spending on personnel and programs, which was significantly offset by
          a onetime $300,000 license fee paid by the Company in March 1995, and
          activity during the nine months ended September 30, 1995, in the 
          Company's transgenics program, which was terminated in May 1995.

               GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES.  General and administrative
          expenses increased to $1,405,896 for the nine months ended September
          30, 1996, from $1,197,474 for the nine months ended September 30,
          1995.  The increase of $208,422 was due to increases during the 1996
          period in non-cash deferred compensation expense, and expenses
          associated with additional staffing.

               INTEREST INCOME AND EXPENSE.  Interest income increased to
          $413,421 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $24,844
          for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  This increase is
          attributable to the Company's increased level of investable funds
          which resulted from the Offering. Interest expense increased to
          $927,004 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, from $345,291
          for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  The $581,713 increase
          was due primarily to the value of warrants issued to guarantors of a
          line of credit and to the purchasers of additional Convertible
          Promissory Notes, offset by decreased Convertible Promissory Note
          interest expense due to the conversion of such notes into common stock
          upon the Offering.

               EXTRAORDINARY GAIN ON EXTINGUISHMENT OF DEBT.  The extraordinary
          gain on extinguishment of debt of $404,393 for the nine months ended
          September 30, 1995, related to certain debt reduction settlements
          regarding the Company's terminated transgenics program.

               PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS.  The preferred stock dividends of
          $7,296,844 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996, are a result
          of the onetime valuation of the additional shares issued to holders of
          the Series D, Series E and Series F-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion
          to common stock (see Note 8 of Notes to Financial Statements) .
              
          LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

               The Company anticipates that the proceeds from its second quarter
          Offering, and interest thereon, will enable it to fund its operating
          expenses and capital requirements as currently planned through
          approximately the end of the third quarter of 1997.  The immediately
          preceding statement is a forward-looking statement that involves risks
          and uncertainties, and the Company's actual capital requirements will
          depend on many factors, including the commercial success of the
          Company's products, the progress of the Company's research and
          development, the scope and results of preclinical studies and clinical
          trials, the cost of obtaining regulatory approvals, the Company's
          success in obtaining the strategic alliances required to fund certain
          of its programs, determinations as to the commercial potential of
          certain of the Company's products, the status of competitive products
          and the establishment of additional manufacturing capacity.

               Cash used in operations was $5,230,954 and $2,485,426 for the
          nine months ended September 30, 1996, and 1995, respectively.  Cash
          used in operations went primarily to fund operating losses.  The
          increase of $2,745,528 was due to the repayment of certain obligations
          and to an increased operating loss. The Company invested a net amount
          of $7,230,477 in available-for-sale debt securities (see Note 3 of
          Notes to Financial Statements)  for the nine months ended September
          30, 1996, $71,717 in computer equipment used to support Company
          operations and $746,152 for leasehold improvements for the Company's
          pilot plant manufacturing facility during that same period.  Net cash
          used in investing activities for the comparable 1995 period resulted
          from equipment purchases. 

               The Company expects to incur substantial additional research and
          development and other costs, including costs related to clinical
          studies, as well as capital expenditures necessary to establish
          commercial scale cGMP manufacturing facilities. The Company will need
          to raise substantial additional funds for longer term product 


                                       10



          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 1997 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.

               Except for the historical information contained herein, matters
          discussed in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
          Condition and Results of Operations are forward-looking statements
          that involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may be
          materially different.  Factors that could cause actual results to
          differ include: levels of resources devoted by the Company to the
          development of its manufacturing and marketing capabilities, risks
          generally associated with construction of manufacturing facilities,
          the ability of the Company to make technological advances, the status
          of competitive products, the ability of the Company to establish
          strategic alliances to provide research and development funding to the
          Company and other risk factors listed in the Company's Prospectus
          dated March 27, 1996.
