CYPROS PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Business Activity

Cypros Pharmaceutical Corporation (the "Company") is engaged in the
development and marketing of acute-care, hospital-based products.  The
Company is currently marketing three products, Ethamolin, Glofil and
Inulin, expects to launch two burn and wound care products using the
Company's Dermaflo technology within the next year and is developing
two drugs, Cordox and Ceresine.  The Company's pre-clinical and
clinical development programs focus on cytoprotective drugs designed
to reduce ischemia (low blood flow) induced tissue damage in acute-
care settings. The Company is conducting a Phase III clinical trial of
Cordox in sickle cell anemia crisis patients.

Basis of Presentation

The unaudited financial statements for the three and nine months ended
April 30,1999 and 1998 have been prepared on the same basis as the
Company's audited financial statements for the year ended July 31,
1998.  The unaudited financial statements reflect all adjustments
(consisting only of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of the
results of the interim periods presented.  Results for the interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the entire
year.

For more complete financial information, these financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and the related notes thereto for the year ended July 31, 1998
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company has experienced significant quarterly fluctuations in
operating results and increases in expenses and losses since inception
and it expects these fluctuations, increasing expenses and losses will
continue.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method)
or market and is comprised of raw materials of $15,394 and finished
goods of $153,326.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from product sales of whole vials of Glofil and Inulin are
recognized upon shipment.   Revenues from Glofil unit sales are
recognized upon receipt by the Company of monthly sales reports from
Syncor, the exclusive marketing agent for Glofil in this form.

Sales are reported net of returns during the period in which product
is shipped.  These sales are adjusted for discounts and
allowances due to contractual discounts under certain contracts with
hospitals and hospital buying groups.  At April 30, 1999, such
discounts and allowances totaled $107,633.

The Company's policy is not to accept returns of product sold.
However, certain contracts with wholesale drug distributors provide
for product returns if the product is within a certain number of
months of expiration.

Net Loss Per Share Data

Under Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement ("SFAS") No. 128,
"Earnings Per Share", basic and diluted loss per share is based on net
loss for the relevant period, divided by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per
share gives effect to all potential dilutive common shares outstanding
during the period such as options, warrants, and convertible
securities, and contingently issuable shares. All potential dilutive
common stock equivalents have been excluded from the calculation of
diluted loss per share as their inclusion would have been
antidilutive.

2. Recently-Issued Accounting Standards

Comprehensive Income

Effective August 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
Income".  SFAS No. 130 requires that all components of  comprehensive
income, including net income, be reported in the financial statements
in the period in which they are recognized. "Comprehensive Income" is
defined as the change in equity during the period from transactions
and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. Net income
and other comprehensive income, including unrealized gains and losses
on investments, shall be reported, net of their related tax effect, to
arrive at comprehensive income. The Company's comprehensive net loss
and net loss are the same, and therefore, the adoption of SFAS No. 130
did not have an impact on the Company's financial statements.

Segment Information

Effective August 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
SFAS No. 131 redefines segments and requires companies to report
financial and descriptive information about their operating segments.
The Company has determined that it operates in one business segment
and therefore the adoption of SFAS No. 131 does not affect the
Company's financial statements.


Reclassifications

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform
with the 1998 presentation.

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 disclosures made in the accompanying notes to the
financial statements.   Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

Item  2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations.

Except for the historical information contained herein, the following
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and
uncertainties, including statements regarding the period of time
during which the Company's existing capital resources and income from
various sources will be adequate to satisfy its capital requirements.
The Company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed herein.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such
differences include but are not limited to, those discussed in this
section, as well as in the sections entitled "Business", "Licenses",
"Manufacturing",  "Sales  and Marketing",  "Competition",  "Government
Regulation", "Patents and Proprietary Rights" of the Company's  Annual
Report (Form 10-K) for the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 and those
discussed in the S-3 Registration Statement File No. 333-25661 filed
with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as those
discussed in any documents incorporated by reference herein or
therein.

The Company was founded in 1990, commenced its research and
development activities in 1991, completed an initial public offering
(the  "IPO") in November 1992, commenced clinical trials in December
1994, acquired two FDA-cleared products, Glofil and Inulin, in August
1995, acquired a third FDA-cleared product, Ethamolin, in November
1996, and acquired the Dermaflo topical burn/wound care technology and
two FDA-cleared products, Neoflo and Sildaflo, in November 1997.  The
Company has sustained an accumulated deficit of $27,569,821 from
inception through April 30, 1999.  As the Company will not have
positive net operating cash flow for the next few years and the
Company's sales and marketing, research and development, clinical
testing and regulatory and general and administrative expenses during
these years will be substantial and increasing, the Company expects to
incur increasing losses for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended April 30, 1999 and 1998

During the quarter ended April 30, 1999, the Company reported sales of
$606,252, a 26.5% decrease from the $824,399 reported in the prior-
year period, principally due to increasing competition in the market
served by Ethamolin and the expected decline in Glofil sales volume
due to the termination of a customer's two clinical trials which
required Glofil to be used as part of their protocols. The decrease in
sales for the period also caused a 29.9% decrease in gross profit on
sales to $435,499 from the $621,648 reported in the prior-year period.

As a percent of sales, the gross margin in the current quarter was
71.8%  compared to 75.4% in the prior-year period. This decrease was
principally due to start-up costs incurred by the Company in its joint
venture with another company to establish a new manufacturing facility
for Glofil.

Total operating expenses decreased .3% during the quarter to
$2,333,224 from $2,339,994 during the prior-year quarter.  Sales and
marketing expense increased 10.1% principally due to the cost of an
ongoing clinical study of Glofil to prove the viability of a 45-minute
test and regulatory consulting expense related to the Glofil study.
General and administrative expense increased 16.5% principally due to
additional material and supply purchases for the Dermaflo facility in
Lee's Summit, Missouri, hiring of additional personnel there,
consulting services for that project, additional home-office overhead
allocated to that project for quality control and quality assurance
and rent expense for the Lee's Summit facility. Clinical testing and
regulatory expense decreased 15.3% principally due to the decline in
CRO and site costs for the Phase II study of Cordox in  sickle cell
crisis patients which was completed last year. Pre-clinical research
and development expense decreased 33.9% principally due to decreases
in salaries, rent and grant related expenditures.

In addition, net interest and other income for the current quarter
decreased 45.0% to $129,155 from $234,867 during the prior-year
quarter, principally because the Company had a larger investment
portfolio during the prior-year quarter, which yielded more interest
income.

The Company did not receive any new Small Business Innovation Research
grants during the current period, and therefore, there  was a 100%
decline in grant income for the quarter ended April 30, 1999.

The amortization of the discount and costs on the Company's
mandatorily convertible notes was completed in the previous year, and
therefore, there were no such expenses for the quarter ended April 30,
1999.

Nine Months Ended April 30, 1999 and 1998

During the nine months ended April 30, 1999, the Company reported
sales of $1,853,307, a 26.2% decrease over the $2,511,860 reported in
the prior-year period, and a gross profit on sales of $1,327,800, a
31.3% decrease over the $1,933,391 reported in the prior-year period.
As a percent of sales, the gross margin in the current period was
71.6% compared to 77.0% in the prior-year period.  These decreases
occurred for the same reasons discussed above under the three-month
analysis.

During the nine months ended April 30, 1999, the Company sustained a
loss of $4,840,017 (or $.31 per share, basic and diluted), compared to
a loss  of $4,028,496 (or $.27 per share, basic and diluted) for the
prior-year period, as revenues decreased and overall operating
expenses increased. Total operating expenses increased 2.1% during the
current period to $6,720,302 from $6,581,775 during the prior-year
period.  Sales and marketing expense increased 16.7% principally due to
the same reasons as set forth in the three-month analysis above. Pre-
clinical research and development expenditures decreased 33.8%,
principally due to a decrease in staffing, rent expense and materials
and supplies used for grant expenditures. Rent expense decreased in
the current period due to the reclassification of a portion of rent
expense to other income and expense.

In addition, net interest and other income for the current period
decreased 36.7% to $479,600 from $757,194 during the prior-year
period, principally for the reason set forth in the three-month
analysis above.

Grant income declined 90.8% during the current period to $10,871 from
$118,701, as there was only one grant in process (versus two during
the prior-year period) and it was completed prior to the end of the
current period. The pre-clinical research and development expense for
the current period includes expenses incurred in connection with the
completed grant.

The amortization of the discount and costs on the  Company's
mandatorily convertible notes was completed in the previous year, and
therefore, there were no such expenses for the nine months ended April
30, 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has principally funded its activities to date through
various issuances of equity securities, which have raised total net
proceeds of $35 million, as well as product sales.

At  April 30, 1999, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and  short-
term  investments of $9,161,246, compared to $13,444,470 at  July  31,
1998.  At April 30, 1999, working capital was $8,970,908, compared  to
$13,377,716 at July 31, 1998. The decline in these balance sheet items
is principally due to the cash used to fund the operations of the
Company.

he Company expects that its cash needs will increase significantly in
future  periods due to expansion of research and development programs,
increased clinical testing activity, growth of administrative,
clinical and laboratory staff and expansion of facilities to
accommodate increased numbers of employees. The Company's management
believes that the Company's working capital will be sufficient to fund
the operations of the Company for approximately two years dependent,
in part, on the timing of the commencement of each phase of the
clinical trials on Cordox and Ceresine and the funding priorities that
it gives its various research programs, the results of clinical tests
and research programs; competing technological and market
developments; the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory
approvals and in obtaining, maintaining and enforcing patents; the
cost of product acquisitions: the timing of scaling up manufacturing
operations;  the growth in sales of the acquired products and their
resulting cash flows; and other factors.

The Company is funding a significant portion of its operating expenses
through cash flow from product sales, but expects to seek additional
funds through public or private equity financings, collaborations,
Small Business Innovation Research grants or from other sources. There
can be no assurance that additional funds can be obtained on desirable
terms or at all.  The Company may seek to raise additional capital
whenever conditions in the financial markets are favorable, even if
the Company does not have an immediate need for additional cash at
that time.

Impact of the Year 2000 Issue

The Year 2000 problem is the result of computer applications being
written using two digits rather than four digits to define the
applicable year.  Any of the Company's computer applications (and
computer applications used by any of the Company's customers,
collaborators and manufacturers) that have time-sensitive software may
recognize a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year
2000.  This could result in system failures or miscalculations causing
disruption of operations.

The Company has modified or replaced portions of its software so that
its computer systems will function properly with respect to dates in
the year 2000 and thereafter.  The costs associated with such
modifications were not significant. The Company believes that, with
these modifications to existing software and conversions to new
software, the Year 2000 problem will not pose significant operational
problems for its computer systems.  However, because of the many
uncertainties associated with Year 2000 compliance issues, and because
the Company's assessment is necessarily based on information from
third-party customers, collaborators and manufacturers, there can be
no assurance that the Company's assessment is correct or as to the
materiality or effect of any failure of such assessment to be correct.

The Company has initiated a program to determine whether the computer
applications of its significant customers, collaborators and
manufacturers will be upgraded in a timely manner. The Company has not
completed its review and it is unknown whether the computer
applications of its customers, collaborators and manufacturers will be
Year 2000 compliant. The Company has not determined the  extent  to
which any disruption in the computer applications of third  parties
caused by the Year 2000 issues will affect the Company's operations,
and has no contingency plans in the event of any  such  disruption.
However, any disruptions in payments by customers or in the
manufacture of the Company's products could have a material adverse
effect upon the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.
