              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

     The interim information contained in this report is unaudited but, in
management's opinion, includes all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a
fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Interim results may not
be indicative of results to be expected for the full year. The consolidated
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1999 included
in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended. The preparation of financial
statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if
any, at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
materially from those estimates.

2.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133 requires the Company
to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives
that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through net income. If the
derivative is a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair
value of the derivative are either offset against the change in fair value of
assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in the
other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The
ineffective portion of the derivative's change in fair value will be immediately
recognized in earnings. SFAS 133 is effective for the Company's year ending
December 31, 2001. The Company does not currently hold any derivatives and does
not expect this pronouncement to materially impact results of operations.

     In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 101 (SAB 101), "Revenue Recognition in Financial
Statements." SAB 101, as amended, summarizes certain areas in applying generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition in financial statements.
In October 2000, the SEC issued a "Frequently Asked Question" (FAQ) document to
further clarify the guidance in SAB 101. The Company will be required to adopt
SAB 101 in its fourth quarter of 2000 with an effective date of January 1, 2000.
The Company believes that its current revenue recognition policies are in
compliance with SAB 101 and as such, the impact of implementing SAB 101 on the
Company's financial position and results of operations is not expected to be
material.

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

     In March 2000, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," which provides guidance on
several implementation issues related to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
25 (APB 25). The most significant are clarification of the definition of
employee for purposes of applying APB 25 and the accounting for options that
have been repriced. Under the interpretation, the employer-employee relationship
would be based on case law and Internal Revenue Service regulations. The FASB
granted an exception to this definition for outside directors. Under the
interpretation, repriced options effectively change the terms of the plan, which
would make it a variable plan subject to compensation expense. The impact of the
adoption of the interpretation on the Company's position and results of
operations was not material.

3.   Accrued Liabilities

     Accrued liabilities consist of the following (in thousands):

4.   Private Placement and Convertible Subordinated Notes

     In February 2000, the Company issued 6,145,000 common shares for net
proceeds of $29.0 million. The Company also issued five-year warrants to
purchase a total of up to 250,000 common shares for $5.00 per share to its
placement agents in this transaction. These warrants were exercisable upon
issuance and expire in February 2005.

     In June 2000, the Company issued 50,000 common shares to third parties. The
net proceeds of $0.2 million were applied against the Company's convertible
subordinated notes to Genentech, Inc.

     In the third quarter of 2000, the Company issued 300,000 common shares to
third parties. The net proceeds of $2.3 million were applied against the
Company's convertible subordinated notes to Genentech, Inc.

5.   Comprehensive Loss

     Comprehensive loss includes certain changes in equity that are excluded
from net loss. Specifically, unrealized holding gains and losses in available
for sale investments, which were reported separately in shareholders' equity,
are included in accumulated other

6.   Net Loss Per Common Share

     Basic and diluted net loss per common share is based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period in all period
presented. Common share equivalents were not included because they are
anti-dilutive.

7.   FDA Meeting

     In December 1992, we submitted an investigational new drug application to
the FDA to begin human testing of our NEUPREX(R) product, a
genetically-engineered fragment of a human protein (BPI). In April 2000, members
of the FDA and representatives of XOMA and Baxter Healthcare Corporation, to
whom we have licensed worldwide rights to all pharmaceutical compositions
containing BPI (including NEUPREX(R)) for treatment of meningococcemia and in
substantially all future anti-bacterial and anti-endotoxin human clinical
indications, discussed results from the Phase III trial that tested NEUPREX(R)
in pediatric patients with severe meningococcemia (a potentially deadly
bacterial infection principally of children), and senior representatives of the
FDA indicated that the data presented were not sufficient to support the filing
of an application for marketing approval. We and Baxter are therefore examining
ways to supply additional data necessary to proceed with the filing. We cannot
confirm that we will be able to supply such additional data.

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


Results of Operations:

     Revenues in the third quarter of 2000 were $851,000 as compared to $32,000
in the third quarter of 1999. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000,
revenues were $5.7 million up from $0.6 million in the 1999 comparable period.
Following recent SEC guidance on revenue recognition, revenues in 2000 include
only a portion of a $10 million up-front payment received in January 2000
related to the licensing of NEUPREX(R). A remaining unrecognized balance of $7.8
million will be recognized ratably over the related clinical development period.

     Research and development expenses decreased to $6.8 million in the third
quarter of 2000, down from $9.9 million in the 1999 period. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, research and development costs decreased to $21.4
million, compared with $33.3 million in the same period in 1999. The decrease
was due primarily to lower spending on the NEUPREX(R) clinical trials and
regulatory activities. These savings were partially offset by increased expenses
related to XOMA's anti-CD11a collaboration with Genentech and XOMA's internal
development programs.

     General and administrative spending was $1.4 million and $4.5 million for
three and nine months, respectively, ended September 30, 2000, compared with
$1.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively, in the comparable 1999 period.

     Investment income was higher for the first three quarters of 2000 compared
to the same period in 1999 due to a higher average investment balance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

     The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled
$38.7 million as of September 30, 2000, up from $18.5 million at December 31,
1999. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September
30, 2000 was $15.9 million, versus a net usage of $35.6 million in the
comparable 1999 period. The decrease in usage was primarily due to lower
payments for clinical trials and preparation of regulatory filings, and the
receipt of a $10 million initial payment from Baxter. The Company also received
$33.8 million of net proceeds from the issuance of common shares in 2000. 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.

     Operating expenses may increase in future periods as the Company proceeds
with various development programs. Cash balances and operating cash flow are
influenced

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

primarily by the timing and level of payments by the Company's licensees and
development partners, as well as by the Company's operating costs.

     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 Company's currently anticipated
levels of spending through at least the second quarter of 2002. The Company
continues to evaluate a variety of arrangements that 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. Without
additional funding, the Company would have to decrease or eliminate the
development of some of its products.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk:

     Interest Rate Risk. The Company's exposure to market rate risk due to
changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Company's investment
portfolio. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its
investment portfolio. By policy, the Company places its investments with high
quality debt security issuers, limits the amount of credit exposure to any one
issuer, limits duration by restricting the term and holds investments to
maturity except under rare circumstances. The Company classifies its cash
equivalents as fixed rate if the rate of return on an instrument remains fixed
over its term. As of September 30, 2000, all the Company's cash equivalents are
classified as fixed rate.

     The Company also has a long-term convertible note due to Genentech in 2005.
Interest on this note of LIBOR plus 1% is reset at the end of June and December
each year and is therefore variable.

     The table below presents the amounts and related weighted interest rates of
the Company's cash equivalents and long-term convertible note at September 30,
2000:

</TABLE>

     Other Market Risk. At September 30, 2000 the Company had a long-term
convertible note outstanding which is convertible into common shares based on
the market price of the Company's common shares at the time of conversion. A 10%
decrease in the market price of the Company's common shares would increase the
number of shares issuable upon conversion of either security by approximately
11%. An increase in the market price of Company common shares of 10% would
decrease the shares issuable by approximately 9%.
