ADVANCED POLYMER SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
(UNAUDITED)



(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position of Advanced Polymer Systems, Inc. and subsidiaries ("the
Company") as of March 31, 1996 and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.

These condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction
with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the
years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial
statements of the Company and its subsidiaries, Premier, Inc.
("Premier"), Advanced Consumer Products, Inc., APS Analytical Standards,
Inc., and APS Joint Venture Corporation. All significant intercompany
balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The business of Premier, the Company's marketing and distribution
subsidiary, is highly seasonal in that it markets and distributes
sunscreen products under an exclusive distribution agreement with Johnson
& Johnson. In addition, effective September 1995, the Company licensed
from Reckitt & Colman the exclusive U.S. rights to the Neet(R) line of
depilatory products. Sales of the two sunscreen products and the
depilatory product line are heavily weighted to the first two quarters of
the calendar year, so the results of operations for the interim periods
are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

The Company considers all short-term investments which have original
maturities of less than three months to be cash equivalents. Investments
which have original maturities longer than three months are classified as
marketable securities in the accompanying balance sheets.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial
statements to conform with the presentation in 1996.

(2) COMMON SHARES OUTSTANDING AND PER SHARE INFORMATION

Common stock outstanding as of March 31, 1996 is as follows:

<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
Number of Shares
----------------
<S> <C>
Common stock outstanding as of December 31, 1995 17,026,666
Options exercised after December 31, 1995 139,439
Shares issued to Lander Company 356,761
Shares issued in debt financing arrangements 10,675
Shares issued for acquisition of all rights to the Polytrap
technology from Dow Corning 200,000
Shares issued to pay Biosource for the 1995 Melanin
commitment 94,000
----------
TOTAL SHARES 17,827,541
==========
</TABLE>

Per share information is based on the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding, as adjusted during each of the periods.
Stock options and warrants (common stock equivalents) are not included in
the calculations as their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.


(3) SALE OF COMMON STOCK

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company formed a collaborative
agreement with the Lander Company under which the Company received
$2,976,000 in net proceeds from the sale of 356,761 shares of common
stock. In addition, the Company will receive licensing fees, royalties
on product sales and research and development funding in the future.


(4) ACQUISITION OF ALL RIGHTS TO POLYTRAP TECHNOLOGY

In the first quarter of 1996, APS acquired all rights to the Polytrap
technology from Dow Corning in exchange for 200,000 shares of APS Common
Stock. APS recorded intangible assets totalling $1,200,000 relating to
this transaction. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight
line basis over a period of approximately 10 years, which is the
remaining life of the main patent acquired.

(5) NOTES PAYABLE

During the first quarter of 1996, the Company received advances from a
supplier totalling $500,000, with an interest rate equal to the Prime
Rate. Interest and principal are due in October 1996.

(6) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for
the sale of up to $5,000,000 of common stock and warrants, which can be
initiated at the Company's sole discretion. In May 1996, the Company
executed the sale of common stock and warrants totalling $2,000,000.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(ALL DOLLAR AMOUNTS ROUNDED TO THE NEAREST THOUSAND)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995

To the extent that this report discusses financial projections, information or
expectations about our products or markets, or otherwise makes statements about
future events, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number
of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially
from the statements made. These include, among others, uncertainty associated
with timely approval and acceptance of new products, the costs associated with
new product introductions, establishment of new corporate alliances, progress in
research and development programs and other risks listed from time to time in
the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Revenues for the three month period ended March 31, 1996 totalled $5,153,000
compared to $5,141,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. Product
revenues increased by 19% to $5,103,000 from $4,286,000 while licensing revenues
totalled $50,000 compared to $855,000 in the year-ago quarter.

The increase in product revenues was primarily attributable to sales of the
Neet(R) depilatory which was licensed from Reckitt & Colman in the third quarter
of 1995, and increased shipments of the Exact line of OTC acne medication
products. Additionally, sales of the Everystep foot powder also increased due to
a sampling program. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in
orders from Scott Paper Co. due to that company's merger with Kimberly-Clark,
and a reduction in sales of Take-Off makeup remover because the first quarter of
1995 included pipeline fill on the launch of the new Microsponge(R)-entrapped
version.

Licensing fees decreased by $805,000 because the first quarter of 1995 included
a milestone payment of $750,000 from Johnson & Johnson on the filing of the New
Drug Application (NDA) on Microsponge-entrapped tretinoin.

Gross profit on product revenues for the first quarter of 35% increased by 6
percentage points due mainly to the increased percentage of higher margin
consumer products, primarily Neet.

Research and development expense decreased by $41,000 or 4% due to reduced
spending on now-completed clinical studies, partially offset by increased
expenses associated with patent applications. Selling and marketing expense
increased by

9
10

$336,000 or 30% due to higher variable costs associated with rising product
sales volume and expanded activities in the ethical pharmaceutical and personal
care markets. Advertising and promotion costs increased by $324,000 or 119% due
primarily to a sampling program for consumer products. General and
administrative expense decreased by $77,000 or 10% due primarily to general
cost-containment measures.

Interest income decreased by $59,000 or 60% due to lower interest rates on lower
average cash balances. Interest expense increased by $233,000 or 352% as a
result of debt financings arranged in the second half of 1995 whereby
the Company raised $7.4 million.

The net loss for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of $2,019,000 represented an
increase of $1,110,000 over the quarter ended March 31, 1995.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Total assets as of March 31, 1996 were $24,621,000 compared with $23,082,000 at
December 31, 1995, and working capital increased to $7,495,000 from $4,976,000.
In the same period, cash and cash equivalents increased to $5,547,000 from
$5,173,000. During the first quarter, Company operations used $3,722,000 of
cash. The Company invested approximately $900,000 in product research and
development and $2,000,000 in selling, marketing and promoting new products.

The Company has financed its operations, including product research and
development, from amounts raised in debt and equity financings, the sale of
consumer products, Microsponge delivery systems and analytical standard
products; payments received under licensing agreements; and interest earned on
short-term investments.

In the first quarter of 1996, the Company formed a collaborative agreement with
the Lander Company under which the Company received $2,976,000 in net proceeds
from the sale of stock, and will receive licensing fees, royalties on product
sales and research and development funding in the future. In addition, the
Company received $730,000 in proceeds from the exercise of common stock options
during the quarter.

In prior years, cash was expended with regard to Phase III clinical tests of
tretinoin entrapped in a Microsponge delivery system for the treatment of acne,
and of APS' melanin-Microsponge sun protectant product, together with related
research and development costs, all of which decreased substantially in 1995
following the filing of the respective NDAs. Additionally, the Company is
contractually obligated to purchase minimum annual quantities of melanin.
Failure to purchase the minimum quantities results in a mandatory annual payment
of $600,000 to its melanin supplier under "take or pay" provisions. The minimum
financial commitments not yet expensed by the Company under the current
agreements are $600,000 per annum for each of the years in the two year period
ending December 31, 1998, in aggregate $1,200,000.

10
11

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement for the
sale of up to $5,000,000 of common stock and warrants, which can be initiated at
the Company's sole discretion. This, together with the Company's existing cash
and cash equivalents, collections of trade accounts receivable, interest
income and other revenue producing activities including milestone payments,
are expected to be sufficient to meet the Company's near-term cash
requirements assuming no changes to existing business plans.
