                                XOMA CORPORATION

                     NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1. Basis of Presentation

The interim information contained herein is unaudited but, in management's
opinion, includes all normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a
fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1997.

2. Supplemental Cash Flow Information

In the first quarter of 1998, the Company satisfied an obligation valued at $1.9
million under the terms of a litigation settlement by issuing 344,168 shares of
common stock, contributed $0.1 million to the Company's management incentive
compensation program by issuing 26,710 shares of common stock, and paid
dividends of $0.1 million on convertible preferred stock by issuing 12,567
shares of common stock upon conversion. Tax payments were $0.3 million.


3. New Accounting Standards

In 1998, the Company must report its results of operations and financial
position based upon the recently issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income," SFAS No. 131
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise", and SFAS No. 132 "Employers'
Disclosures about Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits." None of these
statements has had a material effect on the Company's financial statements for
the periods ended June 30, 1998 and June 30 and December 31, 1997.


4. Financing

In June, 1998, XOMA drew down the remaining $12.5 million of a $25 million
private financing arranged in August, 1997 in the form of 5% convertible
preferred stock. The principal investors include an affiliate of Credit Suisse
First Boston, Southbrook International Investments, Ltd, and HBK Investments,
LP.

Conversions to common stock will be based on the market price of XOMA common
stock at the time of conversion. There is no initial discount on the conversion
price, but a 2% discount will be added for each month the preferred stock is
held to a maximum of 12%. No conversions will be permitted below a price of
approximately $5.35 per share for the first 60 days; the maximum conversion
price for the first six months is approximately $6.24 per share. There are
certain restrictions on the volume of sales of underlying common



                                        4
<PAGE>

stock by the investors. The investors also receive three-year warrants to
purchase up to 550,000 shares of XOMA common stock at $7.00 per share.

5. Non-recurring Licensing Fee

In July, 1998, XOMA signed an exclusive license with Incyte Pharmaceuticals,
Inc. ("Incyte") for all of Incyte's patents and patent applications relating to
bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein ("BPI"), a human host-defense
protein from which XOMA is developing a pipeline of pharmaceutical products. The
license provides that XOMA will pay Incyte a royalty on sales of BPI products
covered by the license, up to a maximum of $11.5 million. In July, 1998, XOMA
made a $1.5 million advance royalty payment consisting of $750,000 in cash and
158,103 shares of XOMA common stock and Incyte also received warrants to
purchase 250,000 shares of XOMA common stock at $6.00 per share. The value of
the warrants and the prepaid royalties have been included in a $2.4 million
non-recurring charge recorded in the second quarter of 1998.

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


Results of Operations:

Revenues in the first six months and the second quarter of 1997 were $1.0
million and $0.3 million, respectively, primarily related to licensing income.
Revenues in the first six months and the second quarter of 1998 were not
significant.

Research and development expenses in the first six months of 1998 were $4.6
million (30%) higher than for the same period in 1997, reflecting increased
spending on clinical trials and manufacturing of the Company's Neuprex(TM) and
hu1124 products. The increase was $2.9 million (37%) for the second quarter of
1998 compared to the same period in 1997. The Company anticipates R&D
expenditures to continue at similar or somewhat higher levels throughout the
rest of 1998, as patient accruals in clinical efficacy trials accelerate
further.

For the first six months of 1998, general and administrative expenses were $0.3
million lower compared with the same period in 1997. General and administrative
expenses were $0.1 million lower in the second quarter of 1998 compared to the
1997 period.

The second quarter 1998 results also include a non-recurring provision of $2.4
million related to an exclusive license with Incyte for all of Incyte's patents
and patent applications relating to BPI. (See Footnote 5 - Non-recurring License
Fee.)

Investment income was slightly higher in the first six months of 1998 compared
to the same period in 1997 due to a higher average investment balance. The
increase in interest expense and other in the first six months of 1998 over the
same period in 1997 was primarily due to interest on a $11.0 million higher
balance of the convertible note payable to Genentech on which interest accrues
at six-month LIBOR plus 1%.



Liquidity and Capital Resources:

The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $47.8
million as of June 30, 1998 compared with $55.1 million as of December 31, 1997.
Net cash used in operating activities was $18.7 million in the first six months
of 1998, compared with $14.4 million in the 1997 period. The Company's cash,
cash equivalents and short-term investments are expected to continue to decrease
while the Company pursues U.S. Food and Drug Administration licensure except to
the extent the Company secures additional funding.

The Company has been able to control its operating cash consumption by carefully
monitoring its costs. As a result, its cash position and resulting investment
income are sufficient to finance the 


                                       6
<PAGE>

Company's currently anticipated levels of spending for at least one year. The
Company continues to evaluate a variety of arrangements which would further
strengthen its competitive position and provide additional funding, but cannot
predict when or whether any such arrangement or additional funding will be
secured.

Forward Looking Statements:

Certain statements contained herein that are not related to historical facts may
constitute "forward looking" information, as that term is defined in the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements are based on the
Company's current beliefs as to the outcome and timing of future events, and
actual results may differ materially from those projected or implied in the
forward looking statements. Further, certain forward looking statements are
based upon assumptions of future events which may not prove to be accurate. The
forward looking statements involve risks and uncertainties including, but not
limited to, risks and uncertainties related to regulatory approvals, product
efficacy and development, the Company's financing needs and opportunities,
scale-up and marketing capabilities, intellectual property protection,
competition, stock price volatility and other risk factors referred to herein
and in other of the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
