                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in 
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim 
financial information, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the 
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all 
adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary 
for fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997, are not necessarily indicative of the 
results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. These 
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial 
statements and accompanying notes contained in the Annual Report of GalaGen 
Inc. (the "Company") on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 
1996.

2. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

     Cash equivalents include short-term highly liquid investments purchased 
at cost, which approximate market, with original maturities of three months 
or less.

3. INVESTMENTS

    Investments in debt securities with a remaining maturity of more than 
three months at the date of purchase are classified as available-for-sale 
securities. Management determines the appropriate classification of debt 
securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such designation as of 
each balance sheet date. The book value of the investments approximates their 
estimated market value. The estimated market value of investments by security 
type is as follows:

All investments have a contractual maturity of one year or less.


4. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

    Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and 
amortization are provided for on the straight line method. In July 1997, 
construction-in-progress consisting of leasehold improvements and equipment 
in connection with the Company's pilot plant manufacturing facility were 
completed, transferred to their respective fixed asset category and commenced 
depreciation. At September 30, 1997, property, plant and equipment consisted 
of the following:

Furniture, fixtures and equipment       $  527,424
Leasehold improvements                   1,342,269

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

5. LINE-OF-CREDIT

    In June 1997, the Company established a $2,000,000 line-of-credit for 
fixed assets with Transamerica Business Credit Corporation ("Transamerica") 
which extends through June 1998. Terms of the line-of-credit include monthly 
payments over four years equal to 2.5782% of each advance with a final 
balloon payment of 12.5% at the end of the four year period. The 
line-of-credit is secured by the Company's fixed assets. TransAmerica 
received a warrant for 40,000 shares of common stock granted at the fair 
market value on the date of grant. The warrant was valued at approximately 
$79,000 and will be amortized over the expected term of the outstanding 
line-of-credit. The Company drew approximately $1,319,000 of the 
line-of-credit in July 1997.

6. NET LOSS PER SHARE

    Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of 
shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. The fully 
diluted loss per share assumes the conversion of preferred shares outstanding 
prior to the Company's initial public offering (the "Offering") to common 
shares as of the beginning of the period. The loss per share for periods 
prior to the closing date of the Offering also gives effect to the 
requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 83 (SAB 83).

PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    The information presented in this Item contains forward-looking 
statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of 
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements are subject 
to risks and uncertainties, including those discussed under "Risk Factors" 
below, that could cause actual results to differ materially from those 
projected. Because actual results may differ, readers are cautioned not to 
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Certain 
forward-looking statements are indicated below by an asterisk.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

    In August 1997, the Company announced it is increasing its development 
efforts on Diffistat-G, its pharmaceutical product for the treatment of 
antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and development efforts on its nutritional 
products. At the same time, the Company announced that it was placing its 
Sporidin-G clinical trial on hold due to continuing decline in the patient 
population for the product's initial indication, AIDS-related CRYPTOSPORIDIUM 
PARVUM infection. The decline was brought about by the effectiveness and 
increased use of new AIDS therapies, including protease inhibitors and 
earlier administration of combination therapy. The Company believes that its 
research and development expenses and losses for the three months ended 
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 will increase due to the expenses 
associated with increasing enrollment and data analysis associated with the 
Diffistat-G Phase II clinical trial and expenses associated with clinical 
trials, formulation and obtaining outside consulting expertise in conjunction 
with nutritional product development.* Thereafter, the research and 
development expenses and losses for the three month periods ended June 30, 
1998 and September 30, 1998 are expected to decrease to levels experienced 
for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 as expenses associated 
with the Phase II clinical development efforts of Diffistat-G and initial 
development expenses associated with nutritional products are concluded.* The 
Company believes that significant expenses and losses will be incurred before 
any material product revenues are generated.*

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30,1996

    GENERAL. The net loss before preferred stock dividends decreased 
$672,788, or 34.4%, for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to 
$1,282,943 from $1,955,731 for the same period in 1996. The decrease was due 
primarily to decreased research and development expenses associated with 
placing the Sporidin-G clinical trial on hold and decreased general and 
administrative expenses offset by decreased interest income.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Expenses for research and development 
decreased $756,796, or 45.6%, to $902,283 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 from $1,659,079 for the three months ended September 30, 
1996. The decrease was due primarily to decreased clinical trial expenses 
associated with Sporidin-G of approximately $959,000 offset by increases in 
pilot plant and manufacturing expenses of approximately $207,000. As 
discussed above, the Company expects the research and development expenses to 
increase for the three month periods ended December 31, 1997 and March 31, 
1998 due to the expenses associated with increasing enrollment and data 
analysis associated with the Diffistat-G clinical trial and nutritional 
product development, and thereafter the expenses for the three month periods 
ended June 30, 1998 and September 30, 1998 are expected to decrease to levels 
experienced for the three month period ended September 30, 1997.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses 
decreased $56,553, or 11.5%, to $436,673 for the three months ended September 
30, 1997 from $493,226 for the same period in 1996. Approximately $46,000 of 
the decrease was due to decreased use of outside legal services.

    INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased to $96,664 for the three 
months ended September 30, 1997 from $205,476 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1996. This $108,812 decrease, or 53.0%, is attributable to the 
Company's decreased amount of investable funds.

                                       8


    INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $40,651 for the three months ended 
September 30, 1997 and $8,902 for the three months ended September 30, 1996. 
Interest expense in 1997 was due to the Transamerica line-of-credit and for 
the applicable amortization of the valuation of the warrant associated with 
the line-of-credit. The warrant was valued at approximately $79,000 and will 
be amortized over the expected term of the outstanding line-of-credit. The 
interest expense in 1996 was due to interim interest associated before 
commencement of the operating lease for certain manufacturing equipment.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

    GENERAL. The net loss before preferred stock dividends decreased 
$1,047,842, or 19.5%, to $4,316,437 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1997 from $5,364,279 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The 
decrease was primarily due to decreased interest expense and research and 
development expense offset by increased general and administrative expense 
and decreased interest income.

    RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES. Expenses for research and development 
decreased $386,951, or 11.2%, to $3,057,849 for the nine months ended 
September 30,1997 from $3,444,800 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996. The decrease was due primarily to decreased clinical trial expenses 
associated with Sporidin-G of approximately $1,260,000 offset by increases of 
approximately $472,000 associated with pilot plant operating and 
manufacturing expenses, $238,000 relating to increased clinical trial 
expenses associated with Diffistat-G, approximately $104,000 relating to 
increased nutritional product development and approximately $59,000 relating 
to the Company's other research and development activities.

    GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses 
increased $139,872, or 9.9%, to $1,545,768 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 from $1,405,896 for the nine months ended September 30, 
1996. The increase was due to increased public reporting responsibilities and 
shareholder relations expenses of approximately $148,000 and increased 
personnel expenses of approximately $69,000 offset by decreased outside 
consulting expenses of approximately $78,000.

    INTEREST INCOME. Interest income decreased to $327,831 for the nine 
months ended September 30, 1997 from $413,421 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1996. This $85,590 decrease, or 20.7%, is attributable to 
decreased amounts of investable funds.

    INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $40,651 for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1997 and $927,004 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 
Interest expense in 1997 was due to the Transamerica line-of-credit and for 
the applicable amortization of the valuation of the warrant associated with 
the line-of-credit. The warrant was valued at approximately $79,000 and will 
be amortized over the expected term of the outstanding line-of-credit. The 
interest expense in 1996 was due to interest associated with the Company's 
Convertible Promissory Notes, which converted to Common Stock upon the 
Offering, and to the value of warrants issued both to guarantors of a 
line-of-credit for the Company and to purchasers of the Company's Convertible 
Promissory Notes.

    PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS. The preferred stock dividend expense of 
$7,296,844 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 represents the value 
of the additional shares issued during such period to holders of the Series 
D, Series E and Series F-1 Preferred Stock upon conversion to Common Stock.

    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company was incorporated in March 1992. On July 24, 1992, Procor 
Technologies, Inc. ("Procor"), the Company's predecessor, was merged with 
and into the Company (the "Procor-GalaGen Merger"). At the time of the 
Procor-GalaGen Merger, Procor was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Land O'Lakes, 
Inc. ("Land O'Lakes"). Since the Company's inception through September 30, 
1997, investments in the Company have totaled approximately $51.6 million, 
including approximately $7.1 million of inter-company obligations payable to 
Land O'Lakes which were forgiven and recorded as contributed capital at the 
time of the Procor-GalaGen Merger, $17.9 million from the Company's initial 
public offering (the "Offering") (after deducting underwriting discounts 
and offering expenses) and approximately $26.6 million from private 
placements of equity and convertible debt and from conversion of accrued 
interest on such debt and the exercise of stock options and warrants. The 
Company has invested funds received in the Offering and these private 
placements in investment-grade, interest-bearing obligations.

    In June 1997, the Company established a $2,000,000 line-of-credit for 
fixed assets with Transamerica Business 

                                       9


Credit Corporation which extends through June 1998. Terms of the 
line-of-credit include monthly payments over four years equal to 2.5782% of 
each advance with a final balloon payment of 12.5% at the end of four years. 
The line-of-credit is secured by the Company's fixed assets. The Company 
currently has approximately $1,700,000 of fixed assets in which it can 
receive advances against, and drew approximately $1,319,000 of the 
line-of-credit in July 1997.

    In August 1997, the Company announced it is increasing its development 
efforts on Diffistat-G, its pharmaceutical product for the treatment of 
antibiotic-associated diarrhea, and development efforts on its nutritional 
products. At the same time, the Company announced that it was placing its 
Sporidin-G clinical trial on hold due to continuing decline in the patient 
population for the product's initial indication, AIDS-related CRYPTOSPORIDIUM 
PARVUM infection. The decline was brought about by the effectiveness and 
increased use of new AIDS therapies, including protease inhibitors and 
earlier administration of combination therapy. The Company believes that its 
research and development expenses and losses for the three months ended 
December 31, 1997 and March 31, 1998 will increase due to the expenses 
associated with increasing enrollment and data analysis associated with the 
Diffistat-G Phase II clinical trial and expenses associated with clinical 
trials, formulation and obtaining outside consulting expertise in conjunction 
with nutritional product development.* Thereafter, the research and 
development expenses and losses for the three month periods ended June 30, 
1998 and September 30, 1998 are expected to decrease to levels experienced 
for the three month period ended September 30, 1997 as expenses associated 
with the Phase II clinical development efforts of Diffistat-G and initial 
development expenses associated with nutritional products are concluded.* The 
Company believes that significant expenses and losses will be incurred before 
any material product revenues are generated.*

    Cash used in operating activities increased by $537, or .01%, for the 
nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $5,231,491 from $5,230,954 for the 
same period in 1996. Cash used in operations for the nine month periods ended 
September 30, 1997 and 1996 went primarily to fund operating losses and for 
repayment of current liabilities.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, the Company redeemed 
$2,413,890 of its available-for-sale securities. The Company invested 
$210,036, net, in equipment and tenant improvements related to the Company's 
pilot plant manufacturing facility for the nine months ended September 30, 
1997 and $746,152 for the same period in 1996. The Company invested $63,355
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $88,338 for the same period 
in 1996 in lab equipment, computer equipment and software and furniture used 
primarily to support the Company's operations.

    The Company anticipates that its existing resources and interest thereon 
will be sufficient to satisfy its anticipated cash requirements through 
approximately the end of the third quarter 1998.*

    The Company expects to incur significant additional research and 
development and other costs, including costs related to clinical studies, as 
well as capital expenditures necessary to obtain licensure of the existing 
GMP pilot plant facility or establish additional commercial scale GMP 
manufacturing relationships, before any material revenues are generated. The 
Company will need to raise substantial additional funds for longer term 
product development, manufacturing and marketing activities it plans to 
undertake in the future. The Company's ability to continue funding its 
planned operations beyond the end of the third quarter of 1998 is dependent 
upon its ability to obtain additional funds through equity or debt financing, 
strategic alliances, license agreements or from other financing sources. A 

                                       10


lack of adequate funding could eventually result in the insolvency or 
bankruptcy of the Company. At a minimum, if adequate funds are not available, 
the Company may be required to delay or to eliminate expenditures for certain 
of its product development efforts or to license to third parties the rights 
to commercialize products or technologies that the Company would otherwise 
seek to develop itself. Because of the Company's significant long-term 
capital requirements, it may seek to raise funds when conditions are 
favorable, even if it does not have an immediate need for such additional 
capital at such time. If the Company has not raised funds prior to such time 
as the Company's needs for funding become immediate, the Company may be 
forced to raise funds when conditions are unfavorable which could result in 
substantial dilution to the Company's current stockholders.

    RISK FACTORS

    Certain statements made above, including those indicated by an asterisk 
(some of which are summarized below), are forward-looking statements that 
involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ. Factors that 
could cause actual results to differ include those identified below.

    EXPECTATION THAT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES AND LOSSES WILL 
INCREASE FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND MARCH 31, 
1998 AND THEREAFTER DECREASE FOR THE THREE MONTH PERIODS ENDING JUNE 30, 1998 
AND SEPTEMBER 30, 1998 TO LEVELS EXPERIENCED DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
SEPTEMBER 30, 1997. The Company's pharmaceutical products in development will 
require additional research and development and extensive clinical testing 
and regulatory approval prior to any commercial sales. The amount and timing 
of expenses associated with product development may be affected by any 
changes to trial protocols required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration 
("FDA"), the rate at which patients meeting trial criteria can be found and 
enrolled, the impact of any new, competitive therapies on the target patient 
population and any other problems encountered in clinical trials, some of 
which could cause the Company or the FDA to suspend clinical trials. The 
Company or the FDA may suspend clinical trials at any time if the subjects or 
patients participating in such trials are thought to be exposed to 
unacceptable health risks. The Company's nutritional products in development 
will also require additional research and development expenses prior to 
commercial sales. The amount and timing of these expenses may be affected by 
compliance with the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, clinical 
trials and formulation issues.

    ANTICIPATED INCREASE IN DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS ON NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS AND 
ASSOCIATED EXPENSES. The Company has, under a license agreement with Land 
O'Lakes, agreed not to compete for 15 years in the area of nutritional 
products based on polyclonal antibody technology except in the area of infant 
formula. Accordingly, the development of nutritional products would require 
the consent of Land O'Lakes. In March 1997, Land O'Lakes granted rights to 
the Company for the commercialization of nutritional kefir-based products. In 
May 1997, the Company signed an agreement with Lifeway Foods, Inc. to 
commercialize kefir-based products. No assurance can be given that such 
consent would be given by Land O'Lakes in a particular case. The Company may 
curtail proposed development efforts in nutritional foods if appropriate 
consents are not obtained.

    ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO SATISFY ITS ANTICIPATED CASH REQUIREMENTS 
THROUGH APPROXIMATELY THE END OF THE THIRD QUARTER OF 1998. The Company's 
working capital and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, 
including the progress of the Company's clinical trials and research and 
development programs and the timing and cost of obtaining regulatory 
approvals. The Company's capital requirements also will depend on the levels 
of resources devoted to the development of manufacturing and marketing 
capabilities, technological advances, the status of competitive products and 
the ability of the Company to establish strategic alliances to provide 
research and development funding to the Company.
