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.

ITEM 2   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

REVENUES
Revenues for the third quarter of 1997 were $462,000 compared to $762,000 for
the third quarter of 1996. For the first nine months of 1997, revenues were
$1,382,000. Revenues for the first nine months of 1996 were $2,012,000. In both
periods, revenues consisted primarily of research funding from Schering AG,
Germany (Schering) related to a joint development and collaboration agreement in
the Company's multiple sclerosis program and sponsored research revenues from
the National Institute of Health (NIH) for a grant related to the research and
development of a cocaine vaccine.

OPERATING EXPENSES
For the quarter ended September 30, 1997, the Company's research and development
expenses decreased $4,334,000 or 58.2% to $3,113,000 from $7,447,000 for the
same period in 1996. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and September 30, 1996 were $13,117,000 and $19,532,000,
respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses in both periods
is due primarily to reduced clinical trial and related development activity as
compared to prior year and headcount and related cost savings resulting from the
work force reduction which occurred during the second quarter of 1997.

General and administrative expenses were $965,000 and $1,785,000 for the
quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, representing a
decrease of $820,000 or 45.9%. The decrease was primarily due to headcount and
related cost savings resulting from the work force reduction which occurred
during the second quarter of 1997. General and administrative expenses were
$5,249,000 for the first nine months of 1997 as compared to $4,770,000 for the
same time period in 1996, an increase of $479,000 or 10.0%. The increase was
primarily due to severance paid during 1997 to former executive officers of the
Company offset in part by headcount and related cost savings resulting from the
aforementioned work force reduction.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the third quarter of 1997 was $834,000 compared to $974,000
for the third quarter of 1996, a decrease of $140,000 or 14.4%. For the first
nine months of 1997, interest income was $2,576,000 compared to $3,522,000 for
the first nine months of 1996, a decrease of $946,000 or 26.9%. The decrease in
interest income for both the quarter and year-to-date resulted primarily from a
lower available investment balance as compared to the prior year. In addition,
the year-to-date decrease resulted from interest payments received from Hoechst
Marion Roussel, Inc. during the prior year period related to capital
expenditures made by the Company to manufacture the ALLERVAX(R) family of
therapeutics. These interest payments to the Company ended as of September 7,
1996.



                                       7

NET LOSS
The Company reported a net loss of $2,782,000 ($(0.14) per share) for the third
quarter of 1997 compared to a net loss of $7,496,000 ($(0.37) per share) for the
third quarter of 1996, a decrease of $4,714,000 or 62.9%. The decrease in net
loss for the period resulted primarily due to reduced clinical trial and related
development activity as compared to prior year and headcount and related cost
savings resulting from the work force reduction which occurred during the second
quarter of 1997 offset in part by lower interest income for the quarter. For the
first nine months of 1997, the Company reported a net loss of $14,408,000
($(0.71) per share) compared to a net loss of $18,768,000 ($0.93) per share) for
the comparable 1996 period. The decrease in the net loss for the nine-month
period was due to reduced clinical trial and related development activity as
compared to prior year and headcount and related cost savings resulting from the
work force reduction which occurred during the second quarter of 1997 offset in
part by severance paid to former executive officers of the Company, severance
paid to former employees in connection with the work force reduction, and lower
interest income.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and cash equivalents and investments were $54,314,000 at September 30, 1997
compared to $70,047,00 at December 31, 1996. During the remainder of 1997, the
Company expects to incur expenses consistent with the amounts incurred during
the third quarter of 1997.

Net cash used in operations for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was
$15,194,000 as compared to $17,391,000 in the comparable 1996 period. The
decrease of $2,197,000 was due primarily to reduced clinical trial and related
development activity as compared to prior year and headcount and related cost
savings resulting from the work force reduction which occurred during the second
quarter of 1997. Offsetting these savings was a decrease in current liabilities
of $2,229,000 due to the payment of expenses accrued as of December 31, 1996 and
reduced clinical trial and related activity for the first nine months of 1997.

The Company expects to incur losses for at least a number of years as the
Company's research, development, and clinical trial programs expand. The Company
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.
