(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

        The accounting policies followed for quarterly financial reporting are

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

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Cash and cash equivalents increased from approximately $1.6 million at
December 31, 1995 to approximately $10.7 million at June 30, 1996, primarily as
a result of a private placement in March 1996 of 1,358,000 shares of Common
Stock which raised net proceeds of approximately $12 million, and approximately
$3 million received from the exercise of options and warrants offset by
approximately $5.9 million of net cash used in operations.

        In May 1995, the Company entered into a worldwide, except for South
Africa, license and supply agreement with American Home Product Corporation
("AHP") under which the Wyeth-Ayerst division of AHP will market 
Crinone/registered trademark/. Under the terms of the agreement, to date the 
Company has received $9.5 million in milestone payments and will continue to 
receive additional milestone payments and a significant percentage of sales, 
which sales are expected to commence during late 1996.

        In December 1993, the Company entered into an Option and License
Agreement with a French research group based in Marseille, France, pursuant to
which it was granted an option to obtain an exclusive license to the North and
South American rights to a potential AIDS treatment. The potential product has
been granted a Clinical Trials Exemption ("CTX") in the United Kingdom and
clinical trials in humans are now underway. In addition, an Investigational New
Drug Application to start U.S. clinical trials has been approved. The purpose of
these trials is to determine the optimal dosage in late stage seropositive
patients. The option, which must be exercised upon the occurrence of certain
events, expires in December 1998. Upon exercise of the option, the Company will
be required to pay an additional $5 million. If the Company does not exercise
its option upon the occurrence of certain events, the Company's rights to the
option are terminated.

        In connection with the 1989 purchase of the assets of Bio-Mimetics,
Inc., which assets consisted of the patents underlying the Company's Bioadhesive
Delivery System, other patent applications and related technology, the Company
pays Bio-Mimetics, Inc. a royalty equal to two percent of the net sales of
products based on the Bioadhesive Delivery System, to an aggregate of $7.5
million. The Company is required to prepay a portion of the remaining royalty
obligation, in cash or stock at the option of the Company, if certain conditions
are met.

        As of June 30, 1996, the Company has outstanding exercisable options and
warrants that, if exercised, would result in approximately $16.7 million of
additional capital. However, there can be no assurance that such options or
warrants will be exercised.

        Significant expenditures anticipated by the Company in the near future
are concentrated on production commitments and research and development related
to new products. The Company has committed to spend an aggregate of
approximately $1.3 million on additional molding capacity at its suppliers
during 1996 and 1997.

        As of June 30, 1996, the Company had available net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $46 million to offset its future U.S. taxable
income.

        In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
as of June 30, 1996, other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet
includes a deferred tax asset of approximately $16 million (consisting primarily
of a net operating loss carryforward) which has been fully reserved as its
ultimate realizability is not assured.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS SIX MONTHS ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1995

        Sales have decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the fact that
Warner-Lambert did not order Replens/registered trademark/ during the first half
of 1996, combined with the fact that 1995 sales included the initial stocking of
Legatrin PM/registered trademark/. While the strategic alliance agreements in
the United States and abroad have not produced desired unit sales as quickly as
planned, the Company believes it has established effective working relationships
with its partners which the Company believes form a solid foundation to build
sales of Replens and the other products in the development pipeline. However,
the Company is exploring alternatives to such strategic alliances where
appropriate. In addition, upon granting of the European multistate licenses,
Replens should become a reimbursable product in certain countries. The Company
believes that sales of Replens in Europe should increase once the licenses are
granted. The Company's success is dependent to a great extent on the marketing
efforts of its strategic alliance partners, which the Company has limited
ability to influence.

        Research and development expenditures have increased in 1996 as compared
to 1995 primarily as a result of costs incurred in connection with the pivotal
studies required for filing the New Drug Application for Crinone in the United
States.

        License fees represent a milestone payment received in connection with
the licensing agreement with AHP.

        Interest income increased in 1996 as compared to 1995 as a result of the
interest earned on the monies received in the private placement completed in
March 1996.

        Interest expense decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 as a result of
the repayment of long-term debt during 1995.

        As a result, the net loss for 1996 was $5,413,990 or $.20 per share as
compared to net income in 1995 of $5,208,095 or $.21 per common share

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 VERSUS THREE MONTHS 
ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

        Sales have decreased in 1996 as compared to 1995 due to the fact that
Warner-Lambert did not order Replens/registered trademark/ during the second
quarter of 1996, combined with the fact that 1995 second quarter sales included
the initial stocking of Legatrin PM/registered trademark/. While the strategic
alliance agreements in the United States and abroad have not produced desired
unit sales as quickly as planned, the Company believes it has established
effective working relationships with its partners which the Company believes
form a solid foundation to build sales of Replens and the other products in the
development pipeline. However, the Company is exploring alternatives to such
strategic alliances where appropriate. In addition, upon granting of the
European multistate licenses, Replens should become a reimbursable product in
certain countries. The Company believes that sales of Replens in Europe should
increase once the licenses are granted. The Company's success is dependent to a
great extent on the marketing efforts of its strategic alliance partners, which
the Company has limited ability to influence.

        Gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased in 1996 as compared to
1995 primarily as a result of a change in product mix sold. Specifically, 1995
sales included approximately $350,000 of revenue from a research agreement
which agreement had a higher gross profit than that earned on the sale of the
Company's pharmaceutical products. No similar revenue was recorded in 1996.

        As a result, the net loss for 1996 was $3,773,315 or $.14 per share as
compared to net income in 1995 of $6,240,874 or $.25 per common share.
