MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Overview
 
          The Company develops drugs for the treatment of serious human
     infectious diseases where there is a significant need for improved therapy.
     Since its incorporation in December 1991, the Company has been engaged in
     research and development, clinical trials and administrative activities.
     The Company's most advanced drug candidate, TOBI(TM)(tobramycin for
     inhalation), is a stable, premixed, proprietary formulation of the
     antibiotic tobramycin for delivery by inhalation. In March 1996, the
     Company completed enrollment for its Phase III clinical trials of TOBI for
     the treatment of chronic pseudomonal lung infections in patients with
     cystic fibrosis. The Company's second drug candidate, PA-1648, a derivative
     of the antibiotic rifampin, is being developed for the treatment of MAC, a
     tuberculosis-like disease, in AIDS patients, and tuberculosis. PathoGenesis
     received approval for its Investigational New Drug application for PA-1648
     and initiated Phase I clinical trials in April 1995. The Company has also
     selected PA-824, a proprietary antibiotic, for further research as a drug
     candidate for tuberculosis.
 
          Financial results for the first three months of 1996 reflect a planned
     increase in operating expenses for activities related to advancing
     potential products through the development process. Such activities include
     product development and clinical trials. The Company expects to invest in
     additional clinical, regulatory and product development efforts over the
     next few years.
 
          The Company currently has no sources of operating revenue, has
     incurred losses since its inception and has an accumulated deficit through
     March 31, 1996 of $51,311,620. The Company expects that operating losses
     will continue and increase for at least the next few years as total costs
     and expenses continue to increase due principally to the advancement of the
     Company's clinical development programs through various phases of clinical
     trials and, if successful, the cost of commercializing its first products.
     The Company's results of operation may vary significantly from period to
     period depending on several factors, such as the timing of certain expenses
     and the progress of the Company's research and development efforts.
 
     RECENT ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK
 
          In May 1996, the Company completed a public offering of 2,875,000
     shares of Common Stock, including 375,000 shares of Common Stock issued
     upon the exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option. The net
     proceeds from the offering, including those from the exercise of the
     over-allotment option, were approximately $43.4 million.
 
     THREE MONTHS ENDED 1996 AND 1995
 
          Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1996
     increased by $1,036,900 to $5,324,263 from $4,287,363 for the quarter ended
     March 31, 1995. Research and development expense for the first quarter
     increased by $933,454 to $4,490,958 in 1996 from $3,557,504 for the first
     quarter of 1995. Such increase was due primarily to increases in clinical
     development activity. General and administrative expense for the first
     quarter increased by $103,446 to $833,305 in 1996 from $729,859 for the
     first quarter of 1995. This increase was due primarily to increases in
     marketing activity, investor relations expenses and higher premiums for
     directors' and officers' liability insurance.
 
          Other income primarily represents investment income from the Company's
     investment securities. In the first quarter of 1996, investment income, net
     increased by $240,911 to $546,288 from $305,377 for the first quarter of
     1995. Such increase was due primarily to higher average invested cash
     balances and, to a lesser extent, higher effective interest rates on
     invested funds.
 
     LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
          The Company has financed its operations since inception primarily by
     the issuance of equity securities. Through March 31, 1996, the Company has
     raised $61,331,268 from private sales of Common Stock and $27,095,726 from
     an initial public offering of Common Stock. Through March 31, 1996, the
     Company has earned net interest and investment income of $4,727,553 from
     investments.
 
                                        7
   8
 
          The Company's combined cash, cash equivalents and investment
     securities totaled $32,539,129 at March 31, 1996, a decrease of $4,907,705
     from the balance at December 31, 1995. The primary uses of cash during the
     quarter ended March 31, 1996, were to finance the Company's operations and
     working capital requirements. From the Company's inception through March
     31, 1996, the Company purchased approximately $12.1 million of property and
     equipment.
 
          The Company plans to continue its policy of investing excess funds in
     government securities and investment grade, interest-bearing securities
     primarily with a maturity of one and one half years or less.
 
          The Company anticipates that its existing capital resources should be
     sufficient to meet its capital requirements through the second quarter of
     1998. Until such time as the Company can generate sufficient levels of cash
     from operations, the Company will have to continue to finance future cash
     needs through some or all of the sources previously used or through other
     means. The Company does not expect to generate a positive internal cash
     flow for at least a few years due to the expected increase of spending for
     research and clinical development programs and the expected cost of
     commercializing its first products. The Company may need to arrange
     additional financing for the future operation of the business, including
     the commercialization of its drug candidates currently under development.
     There can be no assurances that such additional financing can be obtained,
     and if obtained, at reasonable terms.
