4 ANTIVIRALS INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION The financial information included herein for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 and the financial information as of March 31, 1998 is unaudited; however, such information reflects all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. The financial information as of December 31, 1997 is derived from AntiVirals Inc.'s (the Company's) Form 10-KSB. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. NOTE 2. EARNINGS PER SHARE Beginning December 31, 1997, basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted EPS are computed using the methods prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (SFAS 128). Basic EPS is calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding. Prior period amounts have been restated to conform with the presentation requirements of SFAS 128. Given that the Company is in a loss position, there is no difference between basic EPS and diluted EPS since the common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. This restatement to conform with the presentation requirements of SFAS 128 resulted in no change to previously reported numbers.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION The Financial Statements and Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the following discussion. The discussion in this Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the results of research and development efforts, the results of pre-clinical and clinical testing, the effect of regulation by FDA and other agencies, the impact of competitive products, product development, commercialization and technological difficulties, and other risks detailed in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings. OVERVIEW From its inception in July 1980, the Company has devoted its resources primarily to fund its research and development efforts. The Company has been unprofitable since inception and, other than limited interest and grant revenue, has had no material revenues from the sale of products or other sources, and does not expect material revenues for at least the next 12 months. The Company expects to continue to incur losses for the foreseeable future as it expands its research and development efforts. As of March 31, 1998, the Company's accumulated deficit was $17,466,331. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 COMPARED WITH QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 1998. Operating expenses increased from $621,751 in 1997 to $1,601,229 in 1998 due to increases in research and development staffing and increased expenses associated with outside collaborations and pre-clinical testing of the Company's technologies. Additionally, increased general and administrative costs were incurred to support the research expansion, and to broaden the Company's investor and public relations efforts due to its change in status to a public company in mid-1997. Net interest income increased from $29,055 in 1997 to $170,721 in 1998 due to earnings on increased cash balances, which consisted of proceeds from the initial public offerings. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's cash and cash equivalents were $15,790,550 at March 31, 1998, compared with $17,638,936 at December 31, 1997. The decrease of $1,848,386 was primarily due to increases in research and development staffing and increased expenses associated with outside collaborations and pre-clinical testing of the Company's technologies. Additionally, increased general and administrative costs were incurred to support the research expansion, to broaden the Company's investor and public relations efforts due to its change in status to a public company in mid-1997, and to advance funding to ImmunoTherapy Corporation as part of its acquisition thereof. The Company's future expenditures and capital requirements will depend on numerous factors, including without limitation, the progress of its research and development programs, the progress of its pre-clinical and clinical trials, the time and costs involved in 7 obtaining regulatory approvals, the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights, competing technological and market developments, the ability of the Company to establish collaborative arrangements and the terms of any such arrangements, and the costs associated with commercialization of its products. The Company's cash requirements are expected to continue to increase significantly each year as it expands its activities and operations. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will ever be able to generate product revenues or achieve or sustain profitability. The Company expects that its cash requirements over the next twelve months will be satisfied by existing cash resources. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
