                  NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A - Basis of Presentation
- ------------------------------

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments which are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair
presentation of results of the interim periods presented. The statements do not
include all information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles and therefore should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's 1996
Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are
not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal
year.

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

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Revenues for the first quarter of 1997 were $552,000, consisting of sponsored
research funding from Schering AG, Germany (Schering AG) under a joint
collaboration agreement for the Company's multiple sclerosis program, sponsored
bioassay research funding from Hoechst Marion Roussel, Inc., and government
grant revenue from the National Institutes of Health. Revenues were $625,000 for
the first quarter of 1996, which consisted solely of sponsored research funding
from Schering AG.

Total operating expenses for the first quarter of 1997 were $7,779,000, an
increase of $204,000 or 2.7% from the first quarter of 1996. Research and
development expenses were $4,891,000 for the first quarter of 1997, a decrease
of $1,216,000 or 19.9% from the first quarter of 1996. The decrease in
research and development expenses was due primarily to reduced material-related
manufacturing expenses and clinical trial expenses. General and administrative
expenses were $2,888,000 for the first quarter of 1997, an increase of
$1,420,000 or 96.7% from the first quarter of 1996, which was primarily due to
severance agreements with executive officers, including the Company's former
Chairman of the Board.

Interest income for the first quarter of 1997 was $891,000 compared to
$1,271,000 in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease of $380,000 was due to a
lower investable cash balance.

The Company reported a net loss of $6,336,000 ($(0.31) per share) for the first
quarter of 1997 compared to a net loss of $5,679,000 ($(0.28) per share) for the
first quarter of 1996. The increase in net loss was primarily due to the
increase in general and administrative expenses, the decrease in interest
income, and the decrease in revenues.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

At March 31, 1997, the Company had $42,719,000 of working capital, consisting
primarily of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, compared to
$47,895,000 at December 31, 1996. In addition, the Company had $14,450,000 in
long-term investments at March 31, 1997 compared to $15,424,000 at December 31,
1996. The net decrease in working capital and long-term investments resulted
primarily from cash used in operations of $6,505,000 and capital expenditures of
$563,000, offset by cash received from employee stock option exercises of
$5,000.

The Company expects to incur losses for at least a number of years as the
Company's research, development, and clinical trial programs expand. ImmuLogic
has funded its operations to date primarily through the sale of equity
securities, sponsored research revenues, license payments, and earnings on
invested capital. The Company has expended substantial funds for the research
and development of its products, and will in the future expend substantial funds
for further research and development, establishment of commercial-scale
manufacturing capabilities, and the marketing of its products. The Company will
seek to obtain additional funds for these purposes through equity or debt
financings, collaborative arrangements with corporate partners, or from other
sources. No assurance can be given that such additional funds will be available
to the Company for such purposes on acceptable terms, if at all. Insufficient
funds could require the Company to delay, scale back, or eliminate certain of
its research and development programs or to license third parties to
commercialize products or technologies that the Company would otherwise develop
or commercialize itself.

A number of factors could affect the future operating results of the Company,
including, without limitation, those set forth under the heading "Factors
Affecting Future Results" and elsewhere in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1996, and the information contained
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in light of such factors.
