1.  Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements contained herein have been prepared pursuant
to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules

In the opinion of management, the interim financial statements reflect all

present fairly the Company's financial position as of June 30, 1995 and the
results of operations and cash flows for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 and for the period from inception to June 30,
1995.

The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
1995 are not necessarily indicative of the expected operating results for the
full year.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
         and Financial Condition, Capital Resources and Liquidity.

   QUARTER AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO QUARTER AND SIX
                         MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

There were no contract revenues or fees in the quarter ended June 30, 1995
compared to $46,000 earned in the comparable quarter of 1994.  For the six
months ended June 30, 1995, contract revenues and fees were $57,000 compared
to $91,000 in last year's comparable period. 

Total operating expenses decreased $210,000, or 7%, to $2,977,000 from 
$3,187,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and
for the six month periods decreased 1% to $6,298,000 from $6,385,000.  Research
and development expenses increased 4% to $1,786,000 from $1,713,000 for the  
quarters ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and for the six month
periods increased 15% to $3,985,000 from $3,470,000, primarily due to increased
clinical and research activities and personnel.  General and administrative
expenses decreased 19% to $1,191,000 from $1,474,000 for the quarters ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and for the six month periods decreased 21% to
$2,313,000 from $2,915,000, primarily due to settlement of litigation in the
second half of 1994.

Investment and interest income and interest expense remained essentially
unchanged for the quarters and six month periods ended June 30, 1995 and 1994.

Net loss decreased 6% to $2,762,000 from $2,932,000 for the quarters ended June
30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and for the six month periods decreased 1% to
$5,848,000 from $5,900,000, primarily due to settlement of litigation in the
second half of 1994.


                        CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

In April 1995, the Company sold to certain accredited investors 1,323,471
unregistered units consisting of one share of common stock and one 3-year
warrant to purchase one-quarter of one share of common stock.  Gross
proceeds amounted to $7.0 million.  The unit and the exercise price of the
warrant were priced at $5.3125, the closing price of the common stock on
April 17, 1995.

Item 2.   Capital Resources and Liquidity (continued)

The Company expects that its capital resources and interest income will be
sufficient to finance its currently anticipated working capital and capital
requirements into the second half of 1996.  The Company's working capital
and capital requirements will depend upon numerous factors, including results
of research and development activities, clinical trials and the levels of
resources that the Company devotes to establishing and expanding marketing
and manufacturing capabilities, competitive and technological developments
and the timing and cost of relationships with parties to collaborative agree-
ments.  The Company will need to raise substantial additional funds to conduct
research and development activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials
necessary to bring its products to market, and to establish marketing and 
limited manufacturing capabilities. The Company intends to seek additional
funding through public or private equity financings, arrangements with
corporate collaborators or other resources.  Adequate funds may not be
available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company.

                        PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

IN RE BLECH SECURITIES LITIGATION
- --------------------------------- 
The Company has been named as an additional codefendant in an amended and
consolidated class action complaint filed in the United States District Court 
for the Southern District of New York on March 27, 1995.  The pending complaint
names David Blech, D. Blech & Co. and a number of other individuals, as well
as eleven publicly traded biotechnology companies as defendants.  The complaint
seeks damages for alleged unlawful manipulation of the stock market prices of
the named biotechnology companies.  The Company believes that the claims
against it have no factual or legal basis and are without merit.  Although
the complaint alleges that D. Blech & Co. was the principal market maker
for NeoRx Corporation stock, to the Company's knowledge D. Blech & Co. was
never a significant market maker for the Company's stock.  The Company
intends to defend this suit vigorously.

MELD V. NEORX CORPORATION
- -------------------------
In February 1995, the Company settled a lawsuit filed against it and
certain Directors and officers in May 1994.  Under the settlement, which
is subject to court approval, NeoRx will issue to the plaintiffs stock or
a combination of stock and cash worth $1,500,000.  The Company's balance
sheet at June 30, 1995 includes a receivable of $925,000 representing
expected insurance company proceeds to be received in 1995.
