Property and equipment at March 31, 1997 includes $0.6 million of
capitalized interest related to the design and construction of
the Company's manufacturing facility in Frederick, Maryland and
its pilot plant facility in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Long Term Debt
The Company drew down $2.4 million of a total of $2.8 million of
4% State notes that were available in first quarter 1997.  The
remaining $0.4 million will be drawn down in the second quarter.
Principal and interest payments on the notes begin in 1998.

Earnings per Share
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per
Share, effective for financial statements for both interim and
annual periods ending after December 15, 1997.  This Statement
replaces the existing presentation of primary and fully diluted
earnings per share with basic and diluted earnings per share.
The changes in calculation and presentation are not expected to
have a material effect on the Company's disclosure of earnings
per share.

ITEM 2.

                         MEDIMMUNE, INC.
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
          FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

Product sales grew to $10.1 million in first quarter 1997 from
$6.6 million in first quarter 1996, an increase of 53%. CytoGam
sales increased 20% to $5.0 million from $4.2 million in first
quarter 1996.  Sales of RespiGam increased 109% to $5.2 million
in first quarter 1997 from $2.5 million in first quarter 1996.
Supply constraints limited first quarter 1997 sales of RespiGam.
Contract revenue in the 1996 first quarter of $4.5 million
includes final milestone and research funding payments under the
Company's strategic alliance with American Home Products ("AHP"),
formerly American Cyanamid Company.  Under the terms of the
alliance, the Company and AHP share in the profits or losses of
RespiGam; reimbursements or payments under this arrangement are
deducted from or added to operating expenses.

Cost of sales increased to $5.2 million in first quarter 1997
from $4.1 million in first quarter 1996, an increase of 28%.
This increase was primarily attributable to a 48% increase in
unit volume for CytoGam and RespiGam, offset by a reduction in
the per unit costs of both CytoGam and RespiGam due to lower
production costs.  Per unit costs in 1996 were also impacted by
finished product inventory purchased from a third party at a
higher cost, as well as a one-time write-off of $0.3 million for
inventory produced while conducting RespiGam clinical trials.
Research, development and clinical spending increased 148% to
$13.4 million in this year's quarter from $5.4 million in last
year's quarter, reflecting the costs of conducting the Company's
1,502 patient Phase 3 MEDI-493 (RSV monoclonal antibody) clinical
trial. Selling, administrative and general expenses increased to
$6.4 million in this year's quarter versus $4.4 million in the
1996 quarter, an increase of 48%.  This increase was primarily a
result of marketing expenses incurred for RespiGam and the full
quarter effect of expenses associated with the expansion of the
sales force for RespiGam, partially offset by reimbursement from
AHP for their share of RespiGam product line loss for the
quarter.  An additional $0.2 million increase in general and
administrative expenses was incurred primarily due to non-
capitalizable labor costs incurred in connection with
construction of the Company's Frederick manufacturing facility.


                               (6)



Interest income of $1.5 million was earned in the 1997 first
quarter, compared to $0.9 million in the first quarter of 1996
reflecting higher cash balances available for investment and an
increase in interest rates which improved the overall portfolio
yield.  Interest expense of $1.0 million, reflecting interest due
on the convertible debt issued in July 1996, was incurred in the
1997 quarter versus $0.1 million in the 1996 quarter.

The net loss incurred in the 1997 first quarter was $14.3
million, or $0.65 per common share, compared to a net loss for
the first quarter of 1996 of $1.6 million, or $0.08 per common
share.  Shares used in computing loss per share were 21.9 million
and 19.3 million for the 1997 and 1996 quarters, respectively.

These results were consistent with the Company's objectives for
the quarter and with the continued development of its products.
Quarterly financial results may vary significantly due to
seasonality of RespiGam product sales, fluctuation in sales of
CytoGam, research funding and expenditures for research,
development and marketing programs.  RespiGam sales are expected
to occur primarily during, and in proximity to, the RSV season,
which typically occurs between November and April in the United
States.  No assurances can be given that adequate product supply
will be available to meet demand. In the second quarter of 1997,
the Company anticipates substantial research and development
expenses, primarily reflecting costs to complete the Phase 3 MEDI-
493 clinical trial.  These costs are expected to decrease
significantly in the third and fourth quarters once the trial
concludes.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and marketable securities at March 31, 1997 were $93.0
million compared to $114.8 million at 1996 year end.  Net cash
used in operating activities in the three months ended March 31,
1997 was $11.4 million, reflecting primarily the net loss for the
period and an increase in plasma inventory, offset by increased
accruals for clinical trial expenses and a decrease in accounts
receivable.  Capital expenditures of $12.9 million for the three
months were primarily for construction of the manufacturing
facility, expansion of the pilot plant, and lab equipment.  The
total cost for the construction of the manufacturing facility and
the expansion of the pilot plant is expected to be approximately
$56 million, of which $33.1 million had been spent as of
March 31, 1997.  The Company's existing funds at March 31, 1997,
together with funds expected to be generated from product sales
and investment income are expected to provide sufficient
liquidity to meet the anticipated needs of the business for at
least the next 12 months, absent the occurrence of any unforeseen
events.
