           NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
   (Information at June 30, 1996 and for the three and six
                     month periods ended
            June 30, 1995 and 1996 is unaudited)


1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Description of Business

     Aradigm Corporation (the "Company") was incorporated in
the   State  of  California  on  January  30,  1991.   Since
inception,  the Company has been engaged in the  development
of  non-invasive  pulmonary  drug  delivery  products.   The
Company's  principal activities to date have been conducting
research and development, recruiting personnel, focusing  on
business development, raising capital and acquiring  assets.
Accordingly,  the Company is considered a development  stage
company.

Basis of Presentation

      The financial information at June 30, 1996 and for the
three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and  1996 is
unaudited but includes all adjustments (consisting  only  of
normal  recurring  adjustments) which the Company  considers
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial  position
at  such  date and the operating results and cash flows  for
those  periods.   Results for the interim  periods  are  not
necessarily  indicative of the results for the entire  year.
Although the Company believes that the disclosures in  these
financial  statements are adequate to make  the  information
presented  not misleading, certain information and  footnote
information   normally  included  in  financial   statements
prepared  in  accordance with generally accepted  accounting
principles  have been condensed or omitted pursuant  to  the
rules   and  regulations  of  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission  (SEC).   The accompanying  financial  statements
should  be  read  in conjunction with the Company's  audited
financial  statements for the year ended December  31,  1995
included  in the Company's registration statement  no.  333-
4236  on Form S-1, filed with the SEC on April 30, 1996,  as
subsequently amended.

Use of Estimates

      The  preparation of financial statements in conformity
with   generally  accepted  accounting  principles  requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
amounts   reported   in   the   financial   statements   and
accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from  those
estimates.

  Cash and Cash Equivalents

      The  Company  considers all highly liquid  investments
with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be
cash  equivalents.  The Company maintains its cash and  cash
equivalents in depository and money market accounts  with  a
single   financial   institution.   The   recorded   amounts
approximate fair value.  In July, 1996, the Company invested
certain  of  its  excess cash and the net  proceeds  of  its
initial  public offering in cash equivalents and short  term
investments.  Short term investments consist of federal  and
municipal  government securities, repurchase  agreements  or
corporate paper and debt instruments with A1/P1 ratings with
maturities at date of  purchase of greater than 90 days  and
less  than  18 months.  The Company limits its concentration
of  risk by diversifying its investments among a variety  of
industries and issuers.

  Net Loss Per Share

      Net  loss  per  share is computed using  the  weighted
average  number  of  common and dilutive  common  equivalent
shares  outstanding  during the period.   Common  equivalent
shares  consist  of the incremental common  shares  issuable
upon  conversion of the convertible preferred  stock  (using
the  if-converted  method)  and  shares  issuable  upon  the
exercise  of stock options and warrants (using the  treasury
stock  method) when their effect is dilutive.  In  addition,
pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletins and Staff policy,
such  computations include the effect of  all  dilutive  and
antidilutive  common  and  common equivalent  shares  issued
within 12 months of the proposed public offerings date as if
they  were  outstanding for all periods presented determined
using  the treasury stock method and the estimated per share
public offering price.


2.  Initial Public Offering - Common Stock

      In  June 1996, the Company completed an initial public
offering  of  2,500,000 shares of common stock resulting  in
net  proceeds  to the Company of approximately  $24,700,000.
In  connection with and immediately prior to the closing  of
the   initial  public  offering  (i)  3,741,283  shares   of
preferred stock were converted to an equal number of  shares
of  common  stock,  (ii) 5,068,308 shares of  common  stock,
including  the  shares  of  common  stock  issued   in   the
conversion  of  the  preferred  stock,  were  exchanged  for
7,594,064 shares of common stock, respectively, in  a  three
for  two  stock  split, (iii) warrants to  purchase  115,256
shares  of  common  stock  (on  a  post-split  basis)   were
exercised, and (iv) the Board of Directors was authorized to
issue  5,000,000  shares of preferred stock  and  40,000,000
shares of common stock.

ITEM  2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion of the financial condition and
results  of  operations of the Company  should  be  read  in
conjunction  with the Financial Statements and  the  related
Notes  thereto included in this Form 10-Q.  This  discussion
contains forward-looking statements which involve risks  and
uncertainties,  except for historical information  contained
herein.    The   Company's  actual  results   could   differ
materially  from  those anticipated in  the  forward-looking
statements  as  a result of certain factors, including,  but
not limited to, those discussed in this section, as well  as
in  the  section  entitled "Risk Factors" and  elsewhere  in
registration statement no. 333-4236 on Form S-1  filed  with
the SEC on April 30, 1996, as subsequently amended.

      The Company's business is subject to significant risks
including,  but not limited to, the success of its  research
and   development  efforts,  its  dependence  on   corporate
partners for marketing and distribution resources, obtaining
and  enforcing patents important to the Company's  business,
clearing  the lengthy and expensive regulatory  process  and
possible  competition  from other  products.   Even  if  the
Company's  products appear promising at  various  stages  of
development  they may not reach the market  or  may  not  be
commercially  successful  for a  number  of  reasons.   Such
reasons,  include but are not limited to, the  possibilities
that  the potential products will be found to be ineffective
during clinical trials, fail to receive necessary regulatory
approvals, be difficult to manufacture on a large scale,  be
uneconomical  to market, be precluded from commercialization
by  proprietary  rights of third parties  or  may  not  gain
acceptance from health care professionals and patients.

Overview

      Since  its  inception  in 1991,  Aradigm  has  been  a
development  stage  company engaged in  the  advancement  of
pulmonary  drug delivery systems.  As of June 30,  1996  the
Company  had  an accumulated deficit of $15.8 million.   The
Company has been unprofitable each year and expects to incur
further significant and increasing operating losses over the
next  several  years  primarily  due  to  the  expansion  of
research   efforts and to the establishment of manufacturing
capabilities to support clinical trials and, if any  of  its
products  are  successfully developed and receive  necessary
regulatory  approvals, commercialization of  such  products.
To  date,  Aradigm has not sold any products  and  does  not
anticipate  receiving any revenue from products  or  product
royalties in the current year.  The Company has not declared
or  paid  any cash dividends on its capital stock  and  does
not  anticipate  paying cash dividends  in  the  foreseeable
future.

      The Company anticipates that its results of operations
may  fluctuate  for the foreseeable future  due  to  several
factors,  including, the timing of research and  development
expenses  (including  clinical trial-related  expenditures),
actions  related to regulatory and third-party reimbursement
matters,  the Company's ability to manufacture its products,
if   any,   efficiently,   the   timing   of   new   product
introductions,  if any, and competition.  In  addition,  the
Company's  results  of operations will be  affected  by  its
ability to enter into corporate collaborations.

Results of Operations

        Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995
                              
      Contract Revenue.  Contract revenue for the three- and
six-  month periods ended June 30, 1996 increased to $86,250
and  $172,500, respectively, from none and $125,000 for  the
same   periods  in  1995,  respectively.   These   increases
resulted  from a new feasibility research contract that  was
initiated  in the fourth quarter of 1995 and the  conclusion
of  a feasibility research contract in the first quarter  of
1995.

       Research  and  Development  Expenses.   Research  and
development  expenses  for the three-and  six-month  periods
ended  June  30,  1996 increased to $1.5  million  and  $2.8
million,  respectively, from $650,000 and $1.4  million  for
the  same  periods in 1995, respectively.   These  increases
were  primarily  due  to the expansion  of  a  research  and
development project which began preliminary clinical testing
during  1996  and additional clinical testing.  The  Company
expects   research  and  development  spending  to  increase
significantly over the next few years as the Company expands
its development efforts.

      General  and  Administrative  Expenses.   General  and
administrative expenses for the three- and six-month periods
ended  June 30, 1996 increased to $789,000 and $1.4 million,
respectively, from $483,644 and $1.1 million  for  the  same
periods   in  1995,  respectively.   These  increases   were
primarily due to compensation expense associated with  stock
options  recorded in the first and second quarters of  1996,
the expansion of the Company's facilities and an increase in
the  number  of  employees.  The Company  expects  to  incur
significantly greater general and administrative expenses in
the  future  as  it  expands its operations  and  meets  its
obligations as a public company.

      Interest  Income.  Interest income for the three-  and
six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 increased to  $142,013
and  $289,226, respectively, from $55,843 and  $129,732  for
the  same  periods in 1995, respectively.   These  increases
were  due to interest income earned on the proceeds received
from  the  sale  of Series E preferred stock in  the  fourth
quarter  of 1995 and from the sale of common shares  in  the
initial public offering in June 1996.

      As  of December 31, 1995, the Company had federal  net
operating  loss  tax  carry forwards of approximately  $11.5
million.  These carry forwards will expire beginning in  the
year 2006.  Utilization of net operating loss carry forwards
may  be subject to substantial annual limitation due to  the
ownership  change limitation provided for  by  the  Internal
Revenue  Code of 1986.  The annual limitation may result  in
the  expiration of net operating loss carry forwards  before
utilization.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company has financed its operations since inception
primarily  through private placement of its  capital  stock,
proceeds  from financing of equipment acquisitions, contract
revenue  and interest earned on investments.  In June  1996,
the  Company completed an initial public offering  resulting
in  net proceeds of approximately $24.7 million.  As of June
30,  1996,  the  Company  had realized  approximately  $48.9
million  in  net  proceeds from sales of its  capital  stock
since  inception.  The Company also has a  secured  line  of
credit  of  $l.8 million for equipment purchases,  of  which
approximately $900,000 remained available at June 30,  1996.
The draw down period under the line of credit terminates  in
June, 1997.  At June 30, 1996, the Company had cash and cash
equivalents of approximately $34.5 million.

     Net cash used in operating activities in the six months
ended  June 30, 1996, of $2.3 million approximately  equaled
that in the comparable period of 1995 due to the increase in
the net loss of approximately $1.5 million, being offset  by
the  increases in accounts payable, accrued compensation and
the collection of the contract receivable.  The increase  in
accounts  payable  was primarily as a result  of  the  costs
incurred during the initial public offering.  From inception
through  June  30,  1996  the Company's  cash  utilized  for
operating activities totaled approximately $13.6 million.

      Net cash used in investing activities for both the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and the six months ended June 30,
1995, relates solely to capital expenditures by the Company.

      Net cash provided by financing activities for the  six
months  ended  June 30, 1996 of $24.7 million was  primarily
due to the proceeds from the initial public offering.

      The  Company  expects that its cash requirements  will
increase  due to expected increases in expenses  related  in
research  and  development  activities,  the  scale  up   of
manufacturing  processes  and  increases  in   general   and
administrative costs.  The Company's cash requirements  will
be  affected  by the extent and duration of the foreign  and
domestic  regulatory approval processes  for  its  potential
products.   Although  there can be  no  assurance  that  the
Company  will  receive regulatory approval for  any  of  its
products, if the Company does so, its cash requirements  may
increase  due  to  the significant expenses associated  with
initial commercial production and marketing efforts.   These
expenses  include,  but  are not limited  to,  increases  in
personnel  and related costs, capital expenditures,  product
prototype  development expenses and the costs of  facilities
expansion.

     The Company expects that its existing capital resources
and  the  proceeds  from the initial  public  offering  will
enable   the   Company  to  maintain  current  and   planned
operations  through 1997.  The Company's cash  requirements,
however, may vary materially from those now planned  because
of  results  of research and development efforts,  including
capital  expenditures and funding preclinical  and  clinical
trials,   and  for  manufacturing  process  development   in
connection  with  the  commercialization  of  the  SmartMist
Asthma   Management  System  and  to  provide  manufacturing
capacity   for   preclinical,  clinical   and   full   scale
manufacturing  requirements of  the  AERx   Pain  Management
System.    The   Company  may  need  to  raise   substantial
additional capital to fund its operations before the end  of
1997.  The Company expects that it will seek such additional
funding through collaborations, or through public or private
equity   or  debt  financing.   The  Company  has  not   yet
established  any  corporate development  collaborations  and
there  can be no assurance that it will be able to do so  on
reasonable terms, or at all.  Nor can there be any assurance
that  additional  financing can be  obtained  on  acceptable
terms, or at all.  If additional funds are raised by issuing
equity securities, dilution to shareholders may result.   If

obtain   funds   through  arrangements  with   collaborative
partners   or  others  that  may  require  the  Company   to
relinquish rights to certain of its technologies or products
that the Company would not otherwise relinquish.
