(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
    -------------------------------

                           IMMTECH INTERNATIONAL, INC.

                    UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

            On September 25, 2002, the Company filed a Certificate of
Designation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware designating
240,000 shares of the Company's 5,000,000 authorized shares of preferred stock
as Series B Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value, with a stated value of $25.00 per
share. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock accrue at a rate of 8% on the
$25.00 stated value per share and are payable semi-annually on April 15 and
October 15 of each year while the Series B Preferred Stock is outstanding. The
Company has the option to pay the dividend either in cash or in equivalent
shares of common stock, as defined. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible by the holder at any time into shares of the Company's common stock
at a conversion rate determined by dividing the $25.00 stated value, plus any
accrued and unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Price"), by a $4.00 conversion
price (the "Conversion Price"), subject to antidilution adjustment. The Company
may, at any time after September 24, 2003, require that any or all outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock be converted into shares of the Company's
common stock, provided that the shares of common stock into which the Series B
Preferred Stock is convertible is registered pursuant to an effective
registration statement, as defined. The number of shares of common stock
received by holders of Series B Preferred Stock upon conversion shall be
determined by (i) dividing the Liquidation Price by the Conversion Price,
provided that the closing bid price for the Company's common stock exceeds $9.00
for 20 consecutive trading days within 180 days prior to notice of conversion,
as defined, or (ii) if the requirements of (i) are not met, the number of shares
of common stock will be determined by dividing 110% of the Liquidation Price by
the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price is subject to antidilution
adjustments, as defined in the Certificate of Designation.

            The Company may, upon 30 days' notice, redeem any or all outstanding
shares of Series B Preferred Stock by payment of the Liquidation Price to the
holder of such shares, provided that the holder does not convert the Series B
Preferred Stock into shares of common stock during the 30 day period. The Series
B Preferred Stock has a preference in liquidation equal to $25.00 per share,
plus any accrued and unpaid dividends, prior to any payment to holders of the
Company's common stock and is equal in liquidation preference with the Company's
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value. Each issued and
outstanding share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to 6.25 votes
with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders of the Company
for their action or consideration. Except as provided by law or by the
provisions establishing any other series of preferred stock, holders of Series B
Preferred Stock and holders of any other outstanding preferred stock shall vote
together with the holders of common stock as a single class.

            On September 25, 2002, the Company closed private placement
offerings pursuant to Regulation D and Regulation S of the Securities Act, which
raised approximately $1,878,010 (before offering costs) through the issuance of
75,725 shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase 189,312
shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $6.125 per share of
common stock. The Warrants expire five years from the date of grant. The
Warrants contain antidilution provisions.

            The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects the
historical financial position of the Company, with pro forma adjustments as if
the private placements had closed on August 31, 2002.

            The unaudited pro forma adjustments are described in the
accompanying notes and give effect to events that are directly attributable to
the issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock and Warrants to purchase common
stock and are factually supportable.

            The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet should be read in
connection with the Company's Annual Report on Form l0-K for the year ended
March 31, 2002 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30,
2002.
