                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001
                                   (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying financial statements of Demegen, Inc. (the "Corporation") are
unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating
to the recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be
unable to continue as a going concern. The Company's continued existence is
dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from equity
financing and successfully concluding additional license agreements.

The Company historically has obtained its working capital through equity
issuances to shareholders, royalty payments and from certain borrowing
arrangements. Management has plans in Fiscal 2002 to issue additional equity to
shareholders and to obtain additional funding support from grants and product
development partners. Should these plans not be successful, there is uncertainty
as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through the year
ending September 30, 2002.

All adjustments made during the three months ended December 31, 2001 were of a
normal, recurring nature. The amounts presented for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a
full year. Additional information is contained in the Annual Report on Form
10-KSB of the Corporation for the year ended September 30, 2001 dated January 2,
2002, which should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report.

NOTE 2 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

No federal or state income tax has been provided for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 due to existence of unused net operating loss
carryforwards.

The Corporation did not pay any income taxes during the three months ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000.

NOTE 3 - NET EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings
(loss) per share:

NOTE 4 - DOW AGROSCIENCES AGREEMENT

On October 31, 2001 Dow AgroSciences, LLC notified the Company that it was
exercising its right to terminate the license agreement it has with the Company.
In October 2001 Dow AgroSciences paid the Company $485,000 consisting of
$225,000 for the semi-annual research payment and $260,000 for the minimum
annual royalty. In December 2001 Dow AgroSciences demanded repayment of the
$260,000 paid for the minimum annual royalty. The Company's position is that the
minimum annual royalty was due and paid prior to the cancellation of the
agreement. The $260,000 annual minimum royalty has been deferred as "Unearned
Revenue"" until the matter is clarified.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

PROSPECTIVE/FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

the meaning of The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (as amended,
the "Act"). In particular, when use herein, the words "plan," "estimates,"

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND 2000

During the three months ended December 31, 2001 ("Fiscal 2002"), grants, license
fees and other income increased to $0.28 million compared to $0.19 million in
the three months ended December 31, 2000 ("Fiscal 2001"). Fiscal 2002 revenue
includes $0.225 million for the semi-annual research payment from Dow
AgroSciences, which was recognized into income in connection with the
termination of the agreement. The prior fiscal period did not include $0.28
million of payments from Dow AgroSciences as they were deferred and amortized
into income over the semi-annual or annual term of the payments

Total expenses remained stable at $0.8 million.

Research and development expenditures increased slightly to $0.55 million from
$0.50 million in the corresponding prior fiscal quarter. The increase was
primarily due the costs associated with the addition of the Watertown, MA
facility that the Corporation obtained in connection with the Periodontix
acquisition. General and administrative expenses decreased slightly to $0.21
million from $0.25 million.

During the quarters ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, the Corporation made no
provision for federal or state income taxes due to the existence of net
operating loss carryforwards.

The Corporation reported a loss of $0.51 million for the three months ended
December 31, 2001 compared to net loss of $0.61 million for the three months
ended December 31, 2000 as a direct result of the factors discussed above.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended December 31, 2001, the Corporation's cash
decreased by $0.19 million to $0.34 million. The cash decrease was due to $0.17
million of cash used by operating activities and $0.04 million of cash used in
investing activities which was partially offset by $0.01 million of cash
provided by financing activities. The cash used in investing activities of $0.04
million was for the purchase of equipment. The $0.01 million of cash provided by
financing activities consisted of $0.04 million proceeds of a new debt
instrument partially offset by $0.03 million of principal payments on debt.

Cash flows used by operating activities totaled $0.17 million in the three
months ended December 31, 2001. Cash outflows included the net loss of $0.51
million and a $0.02 million decrease in accounts payable and


                                       8


other liabilities. These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows
which principally included $0.02 million of depreciation and amortization, $0.05
million of stock issued for services, $0.02 million of stock based compensation
and a $0.26 million increase in unearned income related to the deferral of the
annual royalty paid but disputed by Dow AgroSciences.

During the three months ended December 31, 2000, the Corporation's cash
decreased by $0.32 million to $1.51 million. The cash decrease was due $0.24
million of cash used by operating activities and $0.07 million of cash used by
investing activities.

Cash flows used by operating activities totaled $0.24 million in the three
months ended December 31, 2000. Cash outflows included the net loss of $0.61
million and a $0.05 million decrease in accounts payable and other liabilities.
These cash outflows were partially offset by cash inflows which principally
included a $0.02 million decrease in accounts receivables, a $0.28 million
increase in unearned revenue, $0.09 million for stock issued for services and
stock based compensation and $0.05 million of depreciation and amortization.

Cash flows used by investing activities totaled $0.07 million in the three
months ended December 31, 2000 and included $0.05 million deposit relative to
the Periodontix license and $0.02 million for the purchase of equipment and
patent related activities.

The $0.003 million of cash utilized by financing activities consisted of $0.02
principal payments on notes partially offset by $0.01 million of proceeds from
an equipment loan and $0.01 million from the exercise of stock options.

The Company is subject to the risks associated with emerging technology-oriented
companies. Primary among these risks are the ability to obtain sufficient
financing, competition from substitute products and the ability to successfully
develop and market its products. As of December 31, 2001, the Company has an
accumulated deficit of $27.4 million. In addition, the Company has a working
capital deficiency of approximately $0.751 million as December 31, 2001.

For the quarter and year ended on December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001, the
Company incurred losses of $0.509 million and $10.503 million respectively, and
used $0.167 million and $1.945 million, respectively, of cash for operations
during the quarter and year ended on December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2001,
respectively.

The Company historically has obtained its working capital requirements through
equity issuances to shareholders, grants, royalty payments and from certain
borrowing arrangements. Management has plans in Fiscal 2002 to issue additional
equity to shareholders and to obtain additional funding support from grants and
product development partners. Should these plans not be successful, there is
uncertainty as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern through
the year ending September 30, 2002. The Company's current cash resources are
close to being exhausted and it is extremely uncertain that new sources of cash
will be identified and will be received during fiscal 2002.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the
recoverability and classification of assets or the amount and classification of
liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as
a going concern. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability
to generate sufficient cash flows from equity financing and successfully
concluding additional license agreements and developing its technologies.

In December 2001, the Company commenced an arbitration proceeding in Pittsburgh,
PA against Dow AgroSciences LLC for damages the Company's management believes it
has sustained as a result of Dow AgroSciences' failure to perform certain
contractual obligations under the agreement that was terminated by Dow
AgroSciences on October 31, 2001. The Company is asserting a claim for
substantial damages. The Company can not predict the outcome of the arbitration.
Also, in December 2001, Dow AgroSciences asserted a claim for the Company to
return the most recent minimum royalty payment. The Company does not believe
that the now terminated agreement requires it to do so. Arbitration of the
matter is scheduled for June 2002.
