and 8,801,288 in the 1996 three and nine month comparable periods, and

                         IMMUCOR, INC.


ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 
Results of Operations.


Financial Condition and Liquidity:

     As of February 29, 1996, the Company's cash position totaled $19,432,200.
For the nine months ended February 29, 1996, the Company generated cash from 
operating activities of $1,876,600 and repaid $1,065,200 (1,500,000 DM) of 
bank debt in Germany.

     The Company does not have any material capital commitments.  Management 
believes that the Company's current cash balance, internally generated funds,
and amounts available under the lines of credit are sufficient to support 
operations for the foreseeable future.  Management also believes additional 
credit lines would be available should the need arise.


Results of Operations:

Net sales

     Net sales for the three months ended February 29, 1996, were $8,073,200 
compared to $7,234,500 in the prior year three month period, and for the nine
month period, net sales totaled $22,831,500 versus $21,476,200 last year. Net
sales increased 12% in the third quarter compared to a year ago, with higher 
sales in the Company's German and Italian affiliates of $357,700, and $481,000
in the U.S. and balance of the world.  This increase was principally due to 
continued growth in sales of the Company's Capturer product line.

Gross profit

     Gross profit, as a percentage of sales revenue, in the current year third 
quarter totaled 60.9% compared to last year's 64.3%.  However, year-to-date, 
the gross profit percentage increased 1.2%.  The decline in gross profit 
percentage in the current year third quarter can be attributed to lower levels
of production as compared to a year ago.

Operating expenses

     Selling, general and administrative expense for the three and nine month 
period ended February 29, 1996, increased $535,000 and $1,237,800 respectively,
compared to the 1995 periods.  This increase in spending can principally be 
attributed to higher levels of depreciation expense, the addition of sales 
and marketing personnel, both in the U.S. and Europe, trade show expense, 
journal advertising and costs related to the launch of the ABS2000.  This 
increase was partially offset by a decline in instrument research and 
development expenses for the three and nine months ended February 29, 1996 of
$110,800 and $212,400 respectively, in the comparable periods last year.  The
decline in instrument research and development expenses reflects the 
completion of the development phase of the Company's blood bank instrument 
project, known as the ABS2000.

Other income
 
    Other income increased $151,300 during the three months ended February 29, 
1996 as compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher interest
rates in the current year period over last year, which increased earnings on 
invested cash reserves and favorable rates of foreign exchange in Europe as 
compared to last year.

Interest expense
     
     Interest expense declined $34,000 during the three months ended 
February 29, 1996, and $124,500 in the nine months ended February 29, 1996, 
as compared to the same three and nine month periods last year.  The decline 
in interest expense was due the Company refinancing its Deutsche Mark 
denominated debt and reducing its outstanding principal loan balance in 
Germany as compared to last year (see Financial Condition and Liquidity.)
	
Provision for income taxes

     As a percent of pretax income, the provision for income taxes declined 
during the three and nine months ended February 29, 1996, over the prior 
year. The Company's operations in Europe generated a positive contribution 
to pretax income in the current year versus a loss in the prior year.  
However, no provision for income taxes was recorded in Europe in the current 
year as European operations had sufficient net operating loss carryforwards 
to offset the tax liability created by current year income.
