                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

1.  Basis of Presentation

     The financial statements of IGEN, Inc. (the "Company") reflect, in the 
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal and 
recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial 
position at June 30, 1996 and the Company's results of operations for the 
three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995.  Interim period results are 
unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash 
flows for a full year period.  The balance sheet at March 31, 1996 was 
derived from audited financial statements at such date.

     Pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying 
financial statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required 
by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial 
statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with 
the Company's most recent annual financial statements included in the 
Company's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments - Cash equivalents include 
cash in banks, money market funds, securities of the U.S. Treasury and 
certificates of deposit with original maturities of three months or less.

     Concentration of Credit Risks - The Company has invested its excess cash 
generally in securities of the U.S. Treasury, money market funds,

     Equipment, Furniture, and Improvements are carried at cost.  
Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, 
generally five years, using accelerated methods.

     Purchased Product Technology - The Company amortizes the cost of 
purchase patent rights on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic 
lives of such assets.  The Company has acquired certain product and patent 
rights from a noncontrolled affiliated company that are being amortized over 
the remaining lives of the underlying patents.

     Revenue Recognition - Nonrefundable license fees, option fees, and 
milestone payments in connection with research and development contracts or 
commercialization agreements with corporate partners are recognized when they 
are earned in accordance with the applicable performance requirements and 
contractual terms.  Amounts received in advance of performance under 
contracts or commercialization agreements are recorded as deferred revenue 
until earned. Product sales revenue is recorded as products are shipped.

     Income (Loss) Per Share has been computed based on the weighted average 
number of common shares and common equivalent shares outstanding during each 
period including common equivalent shares calculated for the stock options 
and warrants under the treasury stock method for all periods presented.

     Accounting for Stock Compensation - In 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 123 
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" which will be effective for the 
Company's 1997 fiscal year.  SFAS 123 allows for companies to adopt a new 
fair-value basis of accounting for stock options and other equity 
instruments, or the disclosure - only alternative for stock based 
compensation.  The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect the 
expense recognition or disclosure -only alternative permitted under SFAS 123 
and therefore has not yet determined the impact of such adoption on its 
financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

     The Company devotes substantially all of its resources to the research 
and development of its proprietary technologies, primarily the 
ORIGEN-Registered Trademark- technology for clinical diagnostic and life 
science research products.  The Company's sources of revenue have consisted 
primarily of license or research payments pursuant to licensing or 
collaborative research agreements and from product sales. The Company has 
entered into collaborative arrangements with corporate collaborators that 
provide for the development and marketing of certain ORIGEN systems.  These 
agreements provide fees and royalties payable to the Company in exchange for 
licenses to produce and sell the resulting products. In the near term, the 
Company may selectively pursue additional strategic alliances although, over 
time, it expects an increasing amount of its revenues to be derived from 
sales of its products and royalties from corporate collaborations.

     Except for the historical information contained herein, the following 
discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and 
uncertainties.  The Company's actual results could differ materially from 
those discussed here.  Factors that could cause or contribute to such 
differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this section.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The Company had revenues of $5.0 million for the three months ended 
June 30, 1996, compared to revenues of $3.5 million for the corresponding 
period in 1995. This increase is attributable to sales of the Company's 
ORIGEN research instruments and reagents and cell culture products which were 
$1.9 million and $673,000 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Such product sales 
reflect higher placements of the ORIGEN Detection System and reagents.  
Contract revenue and other license fees increased to $3.1 million in 1996 as 
compared to $2.9 million for the same quarter in 1995, reflecting the timing 
of milestones and revenues received under IGEN's supplemental Assay 
Development Contract with Boehringer Mannheim GmbH.

     Product costs were $624,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1996 (33% of 
product sales) and $290,000 for the same quarter in 1995 (43% of product 
sales). The decreased percentage of product costs in 1996 represents a change 
in the product sales mix.

     Research and development expenses increased to $3.6 million in the three 
months ended June 30, 1996, from $3.2 million in the corresponding period in 
1995. The higher level of costs in 1996 results from higher staffing levels 
for internal research and development programs and expanded external 
technical collaborations.  Marketing, general and administrative expenses 
were $2.6 million and $2.3 million in the three months ended  June 30, 1996, 
and 1995, respectively.  The higher level of costs during the 1996 period is 
primarily a result of increased sales costs associated with the ORIGEN 
Detection System.

     Income (loss) from operations over the next several years is likely to 
fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter as a result of differences in 
the timing of revenues earned under license and product development 
agreements, and associated product development expenses.

     As of March 31, 1996, the Company had federal net operating loss and 
general business credit tax carry forwards of approximately $31.0 million and 
$2.1 million, respectively.  The Company's ability to utilize its net 
operating loss and general business credit tax carry forwards may be subject 
to an annual limitation in future periods pursuant to the "change in 
ownership rules" under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Service Code of 
1986, as amended.




                                       8




LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company has financed its operations through the sale of Preferred 
and Common Stock, aggregating approximately $60 million through June 30, 
1996, collaborative research and licensing agreements and sales of its ORIGEN 
line of products.  As of June 30, 1996, the Company had $15.4 million in 
cash, cash equivalents and short term investments.  Working capital excluding 
current deferred revenue which is classified as a current liability was $17.2 
million at June 30, 1996.  Including current deferred revenue, working 
capital was $12.4 million.

     Net cash used in operating activities was $4.7 million for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996, as compared to $6.1 million for the corresponding 
period in 1995.  The lower amount of net cash used in 1996 was due to a 
decreased net loss and changes in accounts payable balances.

     The Company used $118,000 and $631,000 of net cash for investing 
activities, substantially related to the acquisition of laboratory equipment, 
furniture and leasehold improvements, during the three months ended June 30, 
1996 and 1995, respectively.  Additionally, during the quarter ended June 30, 
1995, the Company used approximately $400,000 to repurchase shares of its 
stock under a Stock Repurchase Plan.

     The Company expects to incur substantial additional research and 
development expenses, manufacturing costs and marketing and distribution 
expenses.  It is the Company's intention to selectively seek additional 
collaborative or license agreements with suitable corporate collaborators 
although there can be no assurance the Company will be able to enter into 
such agreements or that amounts received under such agreements will reduce 
substantially the Company's funding requirements.  Additional equity or debt 
financing may be required, and there can be no assurance that these funds may 
be available on favorable terms, if at all.

     The Company's future capital requirements depend on many factors, 
including continued scientific progress in its diagnostics programs, the 
magnitude of these programs, the time and costs involved in obtaining 
regulatory approvals, the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing 
patent claims, competing technological and market developments, changes in 
its existing license and other agreements, the ability of the Company to 
establish development arrangements, the cost of manufacturing scale-up, and 
effective commercialization activities and arrangements.
