CADUS PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note - 1 ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PREPARATION

The information presented as of June 30, 2002 and for the three and
six month periods then ended, is unaudited, but includes all
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) that the
Company's management believes to be necessary for the fair
presentation of results for the periods presented. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted
pursuant to the requirements of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, although the Company believes that the disclosures
included in these financial statements are adequate to make the
information not misleading. The December 31, 2001 balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company's annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Cadus Technologies, Inc.,
organized in December 2001. All inter- company balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30,
2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for
the year ending December 31, 2002.

Note - 2 NET (LOSS) INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001
basic net (loss) income per share is computed by dividing the net
(loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net (loss) income per share is the same as basic
net (loss) income per share since the inclusion of 609,309 shares of
potential common stock equivalents (stock options and warrants) in
the computation at June 30, 2002 would be anti- dilutive.

Note - 3 LICENSING AGREEMENTS

In December 2001, the Company licensed its yeast-based drug discovery
technologies on a non-exclusive basis to a major pharmaceutical
company. Under the licensing agreement, the Company received an
up-front non-refundable fee of $500,000 that was recorded as revenue
in the December 31, 2001 consolidated statement of operations as the
Company has no further involvement with the development of the
product. The Company received payment in January 2002. The Company
will receive an additional licensing fee of $1,000,000 if the
licensee achieves a research milestone. The licensee is entitled to
use the technologies for five years from the date of the agreement if
it makes such $1,000,000

payment. If the $1,000,000 payment is not made by February 2003, the
Company has the right to terminate the agreement. Following the
initial five year term, the licensee may renew the license annually
upon payment of an annual licensing fee of $250,000.

In February 2000, Cadus licensed to OSI Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
("OSI"), on a non-exclusive basis, its yeast-based drug discovery
technologies, including various reagents and its library of over
30,000 yeast strains, and its bioinformatics software. OSI paid to
Cadus a license fee of $100,000 and an access fee of $600,000. OSI is
also obligated to pay an annual maintenance fee of $100,000 until the
earlier of 2010 or the termination of the license and a supplemental
license fee of $250,000 which was paid in December 2000, after the
lifting of the injunction obtained by SIBIA Neurosciences, Inc.
("SIBIA"), and recorded as license fee revenue. OSI may terminate the
license at any time on 30 days prior written notice. During the six
month period ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, Cadus recognized $100,000
of license revenue related to this agreement.

Note - 4 ARBITRATION AWARD

In March 2002, the arbitrator in the arbitration proceeding commenced
against Cadus by Philip N. Sussman, the former Senior Vice President,
Finance and Corporate Development, and Chief Financial Officer of
Cadus, ruled in favor of Mr. Sussman and awarded him approximately
$750,000 in severance pay, interest and attorneys and other costs and
fees. A charge of $750,000 was recorded in the consolidated statement
of operations for the year ended December 31, 2001. The payment to
Mr. Sussman was made during the quarter ended June 30, 2002.


Note - 5 ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"), addresses the method of
identifying and measuring goodwill and other intangible assets,
eliminates further amortization of goodwill and intangible assets
that have indefinite useful lives, and requires periodic evaluations
of impairment of goodwill balances and intangible assets. SFAS 142
also requires that intangible assets with definite useful lives be
amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to their
estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance
with SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Live Assets to be Disposed Of." SFAS 142 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. There
was no impact on the Company financial statements from the adoption
of this statement on January 1, 2002.

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144"),
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
disposal of long-lived assets. SFAS 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of" and is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001.
There was no impact on the Company financial statements from the
adoption of this statement on January 1, 2002.

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

OVERVIEW

The Company was incorporated in 1992 and until July 30, 1999, devoted
substantially all of its resources to the development and application of novel
yeast-based and other drug discovery technologies. On July 30, 1999, the Company
sold its drug discovery assets and ceased its internal drug discovery operations
and research efforts for collaborative partners.

The Company has incurred operating losses in each year since its inception. At
June 30, 2002, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $34.6
million. The Company's losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in
connection with its research and development activities and from general and
administrative costs associated with the Company's operations. These costs have
exceeded the Company's revenues and interest income. As a result of the sale of
its drug discovery assets and the cessation of its internal drug discovery
operations and research efforts for collaborative partners, the Company ceased
to have research funding revenues and substantially reduced its operating
expenses. The Company expects to generate revenues in the future only if it is
able to license its technologies.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND JUNE 30, 2001

REVENUES

There were no revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $277,835 for the three months ended
June 30, 2002 compared to $407,641 for the same period in 2001. The decrease is
attributable primarily to a decrease of $105,000 in patent costs and
professional fees.

For the three months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recognized net income of
$725 in its investment in Laurel Partners Limited Partnership ("Laurel"). Such
income for the same period in 2001 was $2,165.

OTHER INCOME

Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $85,619 compared to
interest income of $234,793 for the same period in 2001. This decrease is
attributable primarily to lower interest rates earned on invested funds.

NET (LOSS) INCOME

Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $191,491 compared to the
net loss of $170,683 for the same period in 2001. This increase in net loss can
be attributed primarily to the decrease in interest income offset in part by the
decrease in general and administrative expenses.


11



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2002 AND JUNE 31, 2001

REVENUES

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $100,000 which is
the annual maintenance fee from OSI.

COSTS AND EXPENSES

General and administrative expenses were $541,545 for the six months ended June
30, 2002 compared to $648,905 for the same period in 2001. The decrease is
attributable primarily to a decrease in patent costs and professional fees.

For the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Company recognized net income of
$1,407 in its investment in Laurel. Such income for the same period in 2001 was
$1,979.

OTHER INCOME

Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $180,187 compared to
interest income of $529,494 for the same period in 2001. This decrease is
attributable primarily to lower interest rates earned on invested funds.

Pursuant to a court order, the Company received in February 2001 a $155,402
reimbursement of SIBIA litigation costs offset by legal costs incurred of
$29,786.

NET (LOSS) INCOME

Net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $259,951 compared to net
income of $108,181 for the same period in 2001. This decrease can be attributed
primarily to the decrease in interest income and the receipt, only in 2001, of
the net reimbursement of SIBIA litigation costs, offset in part by the decrease
in general and administrative expenses.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At June 30, 2002 the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $24.1 million.
The Company's working capital at June 30, 2002 was $24.0 million.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources, together with interest
income, will be sufficient to support its operations through the end of 2003.
This forecast of the period of time through which the Company's financial
resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking
statement that may not prove accurate and, as such, actual results may vary. The
Company's capital requirements may vary as a result of a number of factors,
including the transactions, if any, arising from the Company's efforts to
acquire technologies or products or to acquire or invest in companies and the
expenses of pursuing such transactions.


12



Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company's earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes
in interest rates primarily from its investment of available cash balances in
money market funds with portfolios of investment grade corporate and U.S.
government securities. The Company does not believe it is materially exposed to
changes in interest rates. Under its current policies the Company does not use
interest rate derivative instruments to manage exposure to interest rate
changes.
