NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements of Genaera Corporation (Genaera or the Company) are unaudited and have been prepared by the
Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. The December 31, 2007 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, however, certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. The Company
believes that the financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of a normal and recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations
for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2008.

The preparation of financial statements
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Liquidity

The Company has not
generated any revenues from product sales and has funded operations primarily from the proceeds of public and private placements of its securities. Substantial additional financing will be required by the Company to fund its research and development
activities. No assurance can be given that any such financing will be available when needed or that the Companys research and development efforts will be successful.

The Company regularly explores alternative means of financing its operations and seeks funding through various sources, including public and private
securities offerings and collaborative arrangements with third parties. The Company currently does not have any commitments to obtain additional funds and may be unable to obtain sufficient funding in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. If
the Company cannot obtain funding, it will need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of its research and development programs or enter into collaborations with third parties to commercialize potential products or technologies that it might
otherwise seek to develop or commercialize independently, or seek other arrangements. If the Company engages in collaborations, it will receive lower consideration upon commercialization of such products than if it had not entered into such
arrangements or if it entered into such arrangements at later stages in the product development process.

The Company has prepared its
financial statements assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred net losses since inception and expects to
generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future primarily due to research and development costs for its trodusquemine (MSI-1436) program for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. On May 8, 2008, the Company announced the
implementation of a restructuring plan to augment its cost savings initiatives, which included elimination of certain research and development efforts, in order to preserve cash and enable the Company to reach critical milestones in the development
program for MSI-1436 (see Note 5). As a result of these initiatives, the Company believes its cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2008 are sufficient to fund operations and meet its research and development goals
through the second quarter of 2009.

NOTE 2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures on fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years; however, the FASB did provide a one year deferral for the implementation of SFAS 157 for certain nonfinancial assets
and liabilities.

SFAS 157 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy
prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not
active or quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are not directly observable, but that are corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 inputs are
unobservable inputs based on managements own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial assets or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that
is significant to the fair value measurement.

##### Table of Contents

The following table provides the assets and liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring
basis as of June 30, 2008:



|                       |  |                                      |       |                                                |   |                                           |  |                                        |   |  |   |

Short-term investments are measured at fair value using quoted market prices and are classified
within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have any impact on the Companys results of operations and financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS 159). SFAS 159 permits entities to measure many financial instruments
and certain other items at fair value at specified election dates. Under SFAS 159, any unrealized holding gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. If
elected, the fair value option (1) may be applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments otherwise accounted for by the equity method; (2) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and (3) is
applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have any impact on the Companys results of operations and
financial position.

In June 2007, the FASB ratified the consensus reached in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-03,Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities (Issue No. 07-03). Issue No. 07-03 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future
research and development activities should be deferred and recognized as an expense as goods are delivered or the related services are performed. Issue No. 07-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption
of Issue No. 07-03 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of operations and financial position.

In May 2008,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the
preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This statement is effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The adoption of SFAS 162 is not anticipated to have any impact on the Companys results of operations and
financial position.

NOTE 4. Collaborative Arrangements

In April 2001, the Company entered into a research collaboration and licensing agreement with MedImmune, Inc. (MedImmune) to develop and commercialize therapies related to the Companys
anti-interleukin-9 (IL9) program. MedImmune provided funding of $2,500,000, payable in eight equal quarterly installments through April 2003. In addition, MedImmune reimburses the Company for incurred external costs for certain research
and development activities and for licensing and patent prosecution expenses. The Company could also receive up to $54,000,000 of additional funding based on successful achievement of future milestones and is entitled to royalties on sales of
commercial products resulting from the collaboration. During the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized $44,000 and $102,000, respectively, as revenue related to external cost reimbursements. During the three-
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $149,000 and $356,000, respectively, as revenue related to external cost reimbursements. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized $150,000 of
external cost reimbursements and $200,000 of related expenses related to prior periods. The revenue and expense amounts related to a prior period were determined to be immaterial to the prior period.

In September 2001, the Company received a contingent award of up to $1,700,000 from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics (CFFT), an
affiliate of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, to support early clinical evaluation of LOMUCIN involving subjects with cystic fibrosis. In April 2005, the award was increased to $2,863,000, consisting of $513,000 previously received in
connection with the Companys initial phase 2 trial of LOMUCIN and up to $2,350,000 in milestone-driven matching funds from CFFT to support a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial of
LOMUCIN. After consultation with CFFT, the protocol for this trial was amended in June 2006 to decrease the number of evaluable subjects to be enrolled in the trial from 200 to 80. As a result of the decrease in the number of evaluable
subjects, the total contract funding for the Companys phase 2 clinical evaluation of LOMUCIN was reduced from $2,863,000 to $2,521,478 or $2,452,000, depending upon the final milestone achieved. On June 29, 2007, the Company and
CFFT agreed, for reasons of futility, to discontinue the phase 2 trial of LOMUCIN and terminated the award agreement. The Company received a final milestone payment in the amount of $100,000 and was not required to refund any portion of the
funding previously received from CFFT. As a result of the termination, the Company recognized revenue of $2,102,000 in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007.

In May 2007, the Company received a one-time payment of $152,000 as a result of the licensing by the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research
(LICR) of certain patents jointly owned by LICR and the Company pursuant to the Second Research Agreement between the Company and LICR dated December 20, 1999. The Company recognized the payment, which related to a prior period, as
revenue in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007. The revenue amount related to a prior period was determined to be immaterial to the current and prior period.

In July 2007, the Company granted an option to acquire exclusive license rights for drug uses of pexiganan to MacroChem Corporation
(MacroChem) in exchange for a payment of $250,000. The option agreement gave MacroChem a 90-day right to enter into a license agreement with the Company. In October 2007, MacroChem exercised its option and acquired the exclusive
worldwide license rights for use of pexiganan as a drug. Under the terms of the license agreement, MacroChem paid the Company an initial fee of $1,000,000 in several installments. The terms of the agreement also include milestone payments to the
Company of up to $7,000,000 based upon the achievement of clinical milestones, including the start of phase 3 clinical trials and regulatory approval, sales-based milestones of up to $35,000,000 and royalty payments of 10% on net sales of commercial
products resulting from the license agreement. As a result of the license agreement, MacroChem assumed responsibility for all clinical development, manufacturing, regulatory and commercialization activities for pexiganan as a drug. Receipt of future
milestones and royalties is dependent upon a number of factors, including favorable results from clinical trials to be conducted by MacroChem. As of March 31, 2008, the Companys performance obligations under the license agreement were
fulfilled. As such, the Company recognized $1,250,000 as revenue related to the option and license agreements during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

NOTE 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

The Company has employment agreements with all of its officers and employees. Employees covered under employment contracts who are terminated
without cause are entitled to receive continuation of base pay for periods ranging from two months to twelve months.

On
May 8, 2008, the Company announced the implementation of a restructuring plan to augment its cost savings initiatives, which included elimination of certain research and development efforts, in order to preserve cash and enable the Company to
reach critical milestones in the development program for MSI-1436 for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes (the Restructuring Plan). Under the Restructuring Plan, executive base compensation was reduced by 10% effective
June 1, 2008 and executives voluntarily forfeited cash incentives, including salary increases and discretionary bonus

awards for 2008. Additionally, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 40%. The Company incurred restructuring charges of approximately $303,000
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 of which approximately $99,000 was paid during the same period.

In 2007, the
Company reduced its workforce as a result of the decision to terminate the EVIZON clinical development program in wet age-related macular degeneration and the board of directors approval of managements plan to focus corporate
resources on the development of trodusquemine for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. As a result, the Company incurred restructuring charges of approximately $144,000 and $426,000 during the three- and six-month periods ended
June 30, 2007.

NOTE 6. Income Taxes

During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company sold portions of its Pennsylvania research and development credit carryforwards to a third party for net proceeds of $281,000 and $147,000, respectively, resulting
in the recognition of an income tax benefit in the statement of operations.

Forward-looking Statements

Our disclosure and analysis in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
contains forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements give our current expectations or forecasts of future events. You can identify these statements by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. Such
statements may include words such as anticipate, estimate, expect, project, intend, plan, believe, hope and other words and terms of similar meaning. In
particular, these include, among others, statements relating to present or anticipated scientific progress, development of potential pharmaceutical products, future revenues, capital expenditures, research and development expenditures, future
financing and collaborations, personnel, manufacturing requirements and capabilities, the impact of new accounting pronouncements, and other statements regarding matters that are not historical facts or statements of current condition.

We undertake no obligation (and expressly disclaim any such obligation) to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether
as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. You are advised, however, to consult any further disclosures we make on related subjects in our filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC), all of which are available in the SEC EDGAR database at www.sec.gov and from us.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and
Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments were $12.8 million at June 30, 2008 as compared to $20.9
million at December 31, 2007. The primary use of cash during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 was to fund our research and development operations.

Current liabilities were $1.7 million and $3.4 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Our capital expenditure requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including the progress of our research and development programs, the time and
cost required to obtain regulatory approvals, our ability to enter into additional collaborative arrangements, the demand for products based on our technology, if and when such products are approved, and possible acquisitions of products,
technologies and companies. We had no significant commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 2008.

We regularly explore
alternative means of financing our operations and seek funding through various sources, including public and private securities offerings, collaborative arrangements with third parties and other strategic alliances and business transactions. We
currently do not have any commitments to obtain additional funds and may be unable to obtain sufficient funding in the future on acceptable terms, if at all. If we cannot obtain funding, we will need to delay, scale back or eliminate some or all of
our research and development programs or enter into collaborations with third parties to commercialize potential products or technologies that we might otherwise seek to develop or commercialize ourselves, or seek other arrangements. If we engage in
collaborations, we will receive lower consideration upon commercialization of such products than if we had not entered into such arrangements, or if we entered into such arrangements at later stages in the product development process.

We have prepared our financial statements assuming that we will continue as a going concern, which contemplates realization of assets and the
satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have incurred net losses since inception and expect to generate losses from operations for the foreseeable future primarily due to research and development costs for our trodusquemine
(MSI-1436) program for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes. On May 8, 2008, we announced the implementation of a restructuring plan to augment our cost savings initiatives, which included elimination of certain research and development
efforts, in order to preserve cash and enable us to reach critical milestones in the development program for MSI-1436 (the Restructuring Plan). Under the Restructuring Plan, executive base compensation was reduced by 10% effective
June 1, 2008 and executives voluntarily forfeited cash incentives, including salary increases and discretionary bonus awards for 2008. Additionally, we reduced our workforce by approximately 40%. As a result of these initiatives, we believe our
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2008 are sufficient to fund operations and meet our research and development goals through the second quarter of 2009.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and
estimates is included in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There have not been any changes
or additions to our critical accounting policies during the six-month period ended June 30, 2008.

Results of Operations

Revenues

We recognized revenues of $45,000 and $2.4 million in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively. We recognized revenues of $1.4 million and $2.6 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We have received no revenues to date from product sales. Revenues recorded to date have
consisted principally of revenues recognized under collaborations with third parties.

In April 2001, we entered into a research
collaboration and licensing agreement with MedImmune, Inc. (MedImmune) to develop and commercialize therapies related to our anti-interleukin-9 (IL9) program. MedImmune provided funding of $2.5 million, payable in eight equal

of additional funding based on successful achievement of future milestones and are entitled to royalties on sales of commercial products resulting from the collaboration. We recognized $44,000 and $0.1 million as revenue related to external cost
reimbursements in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. For the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.4 million as revenue related to external cost reimbursements.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $0.2 million as revenue related to reimbursement for expenses incurred in prior periods. The revenue amount related to a prior period was determined to be immaterial to the prior
period.

In September 2001, we received a contingent award of up to $1.7 million from Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Therapeutics
(CFFT) to support early clinical evaluation of LOMUCIN involving subjects with cystic fibrosis. In April 2005, the award was increased to $2.9 million, consisting of $0.5 million previously received in connection with our initial

LOMUCIN and terminated the award agreement. We received a final milestone payment in the amount of $0.1 million and were not required to refund any portion of the funding previously received from CFFT. As a result of the termination, we
recognized revenue of $2.1 million in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007.

In May 2007, we received a one-time
payment of $0.2 million as a result of the licensing by the Ludwig Institute of Cancer Research (LICR) of certain patents jointly owned by LICR and us pursuant to the Second Research Agreement between LICR and us dated December 20,
1999. We recognized the payment, which related to a prior period, as revenue in the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007. The revenue amount related to a prior period was determined to be immaterial to the current and prior period.

Research and development expenses for each of our projects consist of both direct and indirect expenses. Direct
expenses include salaries and other costs of personnel, raw materials and supplies for each project. We also may incur third-party costs related to these projects, such as contract research, clinical development and manufacturing costs and
consulting costs. Indirect expenses include depreciation expense and the costs of operating and maintaining our facilities, property and equipment to the extent used for our research and development projects, as well as the costs of general
management of our research and development projects.

We recognized research and development expenses of $3.5 million and
$3.1 million in the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recognized research and development expenses of $7.4 million and $6.6 million in the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,

Research and development expenses increased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as
compared to the same period a year ago, due to increases in third-party contract research costs ($0.8 million), clinical trial costs ($0.2 million), and consulting expenses ($0.1 million) as a result of the progression of our trodusquemine program
for the treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes into phase 1 clinical trials, as well as increases in indirect expenses as a result of increases in stock-based compensation expense ($0.3 million) and realignment expenses related to the
Restructuring Plan ($0.1 million). These increases were partially offset by decreases in manufacturing costs ($0.3 million) and personnel expenses ($0.1 million) associated with our trodusquemine program, decreases in clinical trial costs ($0.2
million) and personnel costs ($0.1 million) as a result of the termination of our LOMUCIN program for the treatment of cystic fibrosis, and decreases in indirect personnel expenses ($0.1 million), indirect equipment rental and repairs ($0.1
million) and depreciation and amortization expense ($0.1 million).

Research and development expenses increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared
to the same period a year ago, due to increases in third-party contract research ($1.3 million), clinical trial costs ($0.4 million), and consulting expenses ($0.2 million) as a result of the progression of our trodusquemine program for the
treatment of obesity and type 2 diabetes into phase 1 clinical trials, as well as increases in indirect expenses as a result of an increase in stock-based compensation expense ($0.9 million). These increases were partially offset by decreases in
clinical trial costs ($0.5 million), personnel expenses ($0.2 million), manufacturing ($0.1 million) and third-party contract research ($0.1 million) expenses as a result of the discontinuation of our squalamine program for the treatment of wet AMD
and our LOUMUCIN program for the treatment of cystic fibrosis in 2007; decreases in manufacturing ($0.2 million) associated with our trodusquemine program; decreases in contract research ($0.2 million) and personnel expenses ($0.1 million)
related to the IL9 program; decreases in indirect expenses as a result of lower realignment expenses ($0.2 million), personnel expenses ($0.2 million), equipment rental and repairs expenses ($0.1 million) and depreciation and amortization expense
($0.1 million).

General and Administrative Expenses

We recognized general and administrative expenses of $1.4 million and $1.6 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. General and administrative expenses consist
principally of personnel costs, professional fees and expenses incurred to maintain our status as a publicly traded company. General and administrative costs decreased in the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same
period a year ago, due principally to decreases in realignment costs ($0.2 million), bonus expense ($0.1 million), public company expenses ($0.1 million) and accounting fees ($0.1 million). These decreases were partially offset by an increase in
stock-based compensation expense ($0.3 million).

We recognized general and administrative expenses of $3.6 million and $3.1 million
during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. General and administrative costs increased in the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same period a year ago, due principally to increases in
stock-based compensation expense ($1.1 million) and legal fees ($0.1 million). These increases were partially offset by decreases in realignment costs ($0.2 million), payroll expenses ($0.1 million), bonus expense ($0.1 million), accounting fees
($0.1 million), public company expenses ($0.1 million) and subscription and dues expenses ($0.1 million).

Interest Income

We recognized interest income of $0.1 million and $0.3 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
We recognized interest income of $0.3 million and $0.7 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest income is comprised of income generated from cash, cash equivalents and investments.
Interest income decreased during the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the same periods in 2007, due primarily to lower average investment balances and interest rates.

Income Tax Benefit

We recognized an income tax
benefit of $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, as a result of the sale of Pennsylvania research and development tax credit carryforwards to a third party pursuant to
Pennsylvania Act 7 of 1997 and Pennsylvania Act 46 of 2003.

Evaluation of
disclosure controls and procedures:For the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Executive Officer and
our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer (the principal financial and accounting officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Our management, including our President
and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors or fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can
provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide this reasonable assurance. Based upon the evaluation discussed above, our
President and Chief Executive Officer and our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at providing such reasonable assurance.
