                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
CIMA LABS INC. is a Delaware corporation that develops and manufactures
fast-dissolve and enhanced-absorption oral drug delivery systems. OraSolv and
DuraSolv, our leading proprietary fast-dissolve technologies, are oral dosage
forms incorporating taste-masked active drug ingredients into tablets, which
dissolve quickly in the mouth without chewing or water. We develop applications
for our technologies that are licensed to pharmaceutical company partners. We
currently manufacture and package five commercial products incorporating our
proprietary fast-dissolve technologies. Revenues are generated from the sale of
products we manufacture, license agreements, product development fees and
royalties.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. These
financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal
recurring accruals, which are considered necessary for fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2000. For further information, you should refer to the
audited financial statements and accompanying notes contained in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

2. USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that may
affect the amounts we report in our financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents. We invest our cash and cash
equivalents in money market funds, investment grade commercial paper and United
States government agency securities, including discount notes and U.S Treasury
obligations. Our short-term investments consist of investment grade commercial
paper and United States government agency securities, including discount notes
and U.S Treasury obligations, with maturities ranging from three to six months.

We classify our short-term investments as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale
investments are recorded at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported
in the shareholders' equity. Fair values of investments are based on quoted
market prices,




                                       6

   7

where available, and accrued interest, if applicable. No realized gains and
losses have been recorded to date. Dividend and interest income is recognized
when earned.

4. INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Income (loss) per share for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are
summarized in the following table:

6. PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF COMMON STOCK
On March 17, 2000, we issued 1.1 million shares of Common Stock through a
private placement. We received approximately $19.4 million in net cash proceeds
and expect to use the funds for capital additions to our manufacturing facility
and for working capital. We have invested the net proceeds in interest-bearing
money market accounts, pending such uses.

7. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 1999, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, or SAB 101, "Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements." SAB 101 requires that license and other
up-front fees received from research collaborators be recognized over the term
of the agreement unless the fee is in exchange for products delivered or
services performed that represent the culmination of a separate earnings
process. We currently expect to implement SAB 101 in the second quarter of 2000
and, if material to the first quarter, restate the first quarter at that time.
We estimate that the cumulative effect of the accounting change will be in the
range of $1.0 to $2.0 million. Had we implemented this accounting change in our
first quarter of 2000, we would have reported a net loss in the range of $(1.0)
to $(2.0) million. In addition, we estimate that most of the cumulative effect
of the accounting change, which relates primarily to transactions occurring
prior to 2000, will be amortized into revenue during 2000. However, the impact
of this change in revenue recognition policy is


                                       7

   8


complex and will depend on, among other things, the economic terms of existing
and future license agreements, the length of time over which the development
activities occur, and the technical requirements the SEC may make public in any
future accounting bulletins or implementation guides.

8. RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain prior period balances have been reclassified in order to conform with
the presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2000. These
reclassifications have no impact on the net loss or shareholders' equity as
previously reported.


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

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that are not descriptions
of historical facts and contains forward-looking statements within the meaning
of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"),
and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"). All forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain as they
are based on current expectations and assumptions concerning future events or
our future performance. We caution readers not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which are only predictions and speak only as of the
date this report was filed. Forward-looking statements are not descriptions of
historical facts. The words or phrases "will likely result," "look for," "may
result," "will continue," "is anticipated," "expect," "project," or similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, and are subject
to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results could
differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors,
including those identified in the "Risk Factors" filed as Exhibit 99 to this
Form 10-Q, and in our other filings with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to
update or publicly announce revisions to any forward-looking statements to
reflect future events or developments.


GENERAL
We develop and manufacture pharmaceutical products based on our proprietary
OraSolv and DuraSolv technologies. We have agreements with several
pharmaceutical companies regarding a variety of potential products, with an
emphasis on prescription products. We currently manufacture five commercial
products using our fast-dissolve technologies. These products include Triaminic
for Novartis, Tempra for Bristol- Meyers Squibb and Zomig for AstraZeneca. We
operate within a single segment: pharmaceutical product development. Our
revenues are comprised of three components: net sales of products utilizing our
proprietary fast-dissolve technologies; product development fees and licensing
revenues for development activities we conduct through collaborative agreements
with pharmaceutical companies; and royalties on the sales of products we
manufacture, which are sold by pharmaceutical companies under licenses from us.
In


                                       8

   9


addition, we are currently developing other drug delivery technologies.

Revenues from product sales and from royalties will fluctuate from quarter to
quarter and from year to year depending on, among other factors, demand for our
products by patients, new product introductions, the seasonal nature of some of
our products and pharmaceutical company ordering patterns. Our ability to
generate product sales and royalty revenues in excess of our current forecast
for 2000 and 2001 may be constrained by our manufacturing capacity. We expect
our second production line, now being developed, to be operational in the second
half of 2001. Revenues from product development fees and licensing revenue will
fluctuate from quarter to quarter and from year to year depending on, among
other factors, the number of new collaborative agreements that we enter into;
the number of product development milestones we achieve under collaborative
agreements, including making submissions to, and obtaining approvals from, the
FDA for products in development; and the level of our development activity
conducted for pharmaceutical companies under collaborative agreements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES.
Our total revenues were $5.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to $1.8 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999. The increase of
$3.4 million in revenues was primarily due to higher sales volume of commercial
products. All three components of revenues increased for the quarter in
comparison to the same period in 1999.

Revenues from net sales of products using our drug delivery technologies totaled
$2.8 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to less than $0.1 million in
the first quarter of 1999. The increase of over $2.7 million was primarily due
to increased shipments of Triaminic to Novartis. We expect product sales for all
of 2000 to be higher than full year 1999 because we have firm purchase order
commitments for unit volume in excess of full year 1999 quantities. Although we
expect additional growth in product sales in the last half of 2000, this growth
will depend on pending FDA regulatory approvals for two new prescription
products, FDA approval of our manufacturing compliance for prescription
pharmaceuticals and the receipt of firm purchase order commitments for these new
products.

Revenues from product development fees and licensing were $1.6 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 compared to $1.6 million for the comparable period
in 1999. Licensing revenues for the quarter included payments attributable to a
January 2000 agreement with American Home Products. Although we expect product
development activities for the year 2000 to be comparable to 1999, a significant
portion of the product development fees and licensing revenues associated with
these activities will be subject to deferral due to SAB 101, the SEC accounting
bulletin discussed earlier, which we expect to adopt in the second quarter. In
addition, product development fees and licensing revenues in subsequent quarters
will depend on our success in signing new license and


                                       9

   10


development agreements with pharmaceutical companies and on expected FDA
regulatory approvals for two new pharmaceutical products late in 2000.

Revenues from royalties totaled $0.7 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2000
compared to $0.1 million in the corresponding period of 1999. The increase of
$0.6 million resulted primarily from increased sales of Triaminic by Novartis in
the U.S., which was introduced in the second quarter of 1999, and sales of Zomig
by AstraZeneca, which was introduced in several countries in Europe during the
third quarter of 1999. We expect royalties for the year 2000 to be higher than
1999 due to expected increases in product shipments of Triaminic, which will be
sold primarily to patients in the U.S., and Zomig, which will be sold primarily
to patients in Europe.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND GROSS MARGIN.
Cost of sales totaled $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2000 compared to $0.9
million in the corresponding period of 1999. The increase of $2.3 million was
primarily due to higher Triaminic unit volumes being manufactured and shipped to
Novartis and due to costs incurred to gear up for multi-shift production
capabilities. In subsequent quarters, we expect cost of sales to increase as a
result of expected unit volume increases.

Gross margins on product sales were negative in the quarter ended March 31, 2000
and in the comparable period of 1999. To date, cost of sales have resulted in
negative gross profit margins because we are operating at below manufacturing
capacity, we have incurred additional costs to gear up for multi-shift
production capabilities, and a product mix that has been weighted towards lower
margin products. In subsequent quarters, we expect improved gross margins
because manufacturing efficiencies should improve at higher unit volumes and
with a more favorable mix of higher margin products. However, future gross
margins will depend primarily, among other things, on the pricing of our
products, our ability to effectively use our manufacturing and plant capacity,
and changes in our product lines and mix of products.

Research and product development expenses were $1.0 million in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 compared to $1.0 million in the quarter ended March 31, 1999.
These expenses were consistent, as the level of product development activities
between the periods was comparable. In subsequent quarters, we expect these
expenses to increase.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million in the quarter
ended March 31, 2000 compared to $0.7 million in the quarter ended March 31,
1999. The increase of $0.2 million from 1999 was primarily due to marketing and
related consulting costs associated with our business development efforts. We
expect these expenses to increase in 2000.

OTHER INCOME.
Other income was not significant for the quarter ended March 31, 2000 nor was it
significant for the comparable period in 1999. Other income consists primarily
of interest income on invested funds, net of interest expense on bank lines,
loan agreements and


                                       10

   11


capitalized leases. In subsequent quarters, we expect interest income to
increase from the investment of the proceeds of our March 2000 private
placement.

NET INCOME (LOSS).
Net income of $8,000 in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 compares to a net loss
of $(0.8) million for the corresponding period in 1999. The net income for the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was due to an increase in total revenues of 189%,
associated with an increase of total operating expenses of only 96% in 2000
compared to 1999.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have financed our operations to date primarily through private and public
sales of equity securities and revenues from product sales, product development
fees and licensing revenue and royalties.

Net working capital increased from $4.2 million at March 31, 1999 to $22.5
million at March 31, 2000. The increase of $18.3 million is primarily due to the
positive effect of a $3.5 million loan we received from a pharmaceutical company
partner and from $19.4 million we received from the private placement sale of
1.1 million shares of common stock, which were partially offset by approximately
$5.1 million in expenditures for capital improvements to our manufacturing
facility. We invest excess cash in interest-bearing money market accounts and
investment grade securities.

In December 1999, we received a $3.5 million unsecured loan from one of our
pharmaceutical company partners. We may repay this loan at any time, but if the
loan is not repaid by the time we are due royalties under a license agreement
with an affiliate of the lender, the affiliate may offset up to half of the
royalties otherwise due to us and the lender will treat the amount offset by its
affiliate as a payment by us on this loan. Interest is payable on the
outstanding balance of the loan at LIBOR plus one half of one percent. Interest
accrues quarterly and is added to the then outstanding principal balance of the
loan.

In March 2000, we issued 1.1 million shares of common stock through a private
placement. We received approximately $19.4 million in net cash proceeds and
expect to use the funds for capital additions to our manufacturing facility and
for working capital.

We currently expect to spend approximately $10.0 to $12.0 million during 2000
and 2001 to complete various manufacturing facility improvements, including
construction of a coating unit and a second production line. We believe our cash
and cash equivalents, together with expected revenues from operations, will be
sufficient to meet our anticipated capital requirements for the foreseeable
future. However, we may elect to pursue additional financing at any time to more
aggressively pursue development of new drug delivery technologies and expand
manufacturing capacity beyond that currently planned. In addition, other factors
that will affect future capital requirements and may
