                          IMCLONE SYSTEMS INCORPORATED
                      NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

(1) Basis of Presentation

     The  financial  statements as of June 30, 1996 and for the six months ended
June 30,  1996 and 1995 are  unaudited.  In the  opinion  of  management,  these
unaudited  financial  statements  include all  adjustments,  consisting  only of
normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto  included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

     Results for the interim periods are not  necessarily  indicative of results
for the full years.

(2) Subsequent Events

     In August 1995, a group of investors including Oracle Partners,  L.P. ("the
Oracle Group")  purchased  1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for a purchase price
of  $1,500,000  and  made a  two-year  loan  to the  Company  in the  amount  of
$2,500,000 at an annual interest rate of 8%. Part or all of the loan was subject
to mandatory prepayment at the request of the investors,  upon the occurrence of
certain  events,   including  the  raising  of  certain  additional  funds.  The
obligations of the Company in connection with the loan were secured by a lien on
the Company's Branchburg,  New Jersey manufacturing  facility.  The Oracle Group
also received  warrants  exercisable  at anytime until August 10, 2000 entitling
the holders  thereof to purchase an aggregate of 500,000  shares of Common Stock
at a price of $1.50 per share and 500,000  shares of Common  Stock at a price of
$3.00 per share. The Company filed a Registration Statement under the Securities
Act of 1933 ("the 1933 Act") registering for public sale the shares purchased in
this financing and the shares that would be obtained through the exercise of the
warrants.  The  Company  recorded  a non-cash  debt  discount  of  approximately
$1,062,500 in connection  with this  financing.  In May 1996 the Company and the
Oracle  Group  exchanged  the notes  evidencing  the loan for 333,333  shares of
Common Stock based on a stock price of $7.50.  The market price of the Company's
stock on April 15,  1996 was $9.13 and the  Company  paid the accrued and unpaid
interest through April 15, 1996, the date of the agreement in principle,  on the
notes in the amount of $143,000 in cash. The Company  recorded an  extraordinary
loss of $1,228,000 on the  extinguishment  of debt, of which $542,000 related to
the  difference  in  stock  price,  while  $686,000  related  to  write  off  of
unamortized debt discount.  In July 1996, the Company  registered such shares of
Common Stock for resale by the Oracle Group under the 1933 Act. See also Note 3.

(3) Related Party Transactions

     In July 1995,  a director  loaned the Company  $180,000  in exchange  for a
long-term note due two years from issuance at on annual  interest rate of 8%. As
part of the  transaction,  the director was granted 36,000  warrants to purchase
Company  Common Stock at $1.50 per share and an  additional  36,000  warrants to
purchase  Company Common Stock at $3.00 per share.  In May 1996, the Company and
the  director  exchanged  the note for  24,000  shares of  Common  Stock and the
Company paid the accrued and unpaid interest through April 15, 1996, the date of
the  agreement in principle,  on the note in the amount of $10,000 in cash.  The
Company recorded an extraordinary  loss of $39,000 on the  extinguishment of the
debt. In July 1996, the Company registered such shares of Common Stock under the
1933 Act.

     During the year ended  December  31, 1995,  the Company made  miscellaneous
non-interest-bearing  cash advances to the President and CEO totaling $7,000. In
addition, the officer repaid $31,000 of a demand promissory note during the year
ended  December  31,  1995.  This  brought  the  outstanding  balance  of  total
miscellaneous  noninterest-bearing  cash  advances to the officer to $132,000 at
December  31,  1995.  The  balance  due from the  officer  at July 31,  1996 was
$117,000.  The officer has provided the Company  with a demand  promissory  note
pursuant to which the officer is  obligated to repay the debt over a twenty four
month period ending April 30, 1997.

(4) Long-term Debt

     In June 1996, the Company and the New York  Industrial  Development  Agency
extended the maturity of the Company's  $2,113,000  repayment  obligation to the
NYIDA for the 1986 Industrial  Revenue Bond,  which was due on June 18, 1996, to
December 15, 1997.

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

     The following discussion and analysis by management is provided to identify
certain  significant factors which affected the Company's financial position and
operating  results  during the periods  included in the  accompanying  financial
statements.

Results of Operations

Six Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

     Revenues for the  six-month  periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were each
$150,000  and  represented  research  and  development  support  fees  from  its
corporate  partnership  with American  Cyanamid  Company in  infectious  disease
vaccines.

     Total operating  expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
June 30,  1995  were  $6,505,000  and  $5,615,000,  respectively.  Research  and
development  expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995  were  $4,918,000  and  $4,028,000,  respectively.  Such  amounts  for  the
six-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 represented 76% and 72%,
respectively,  of  total  operating  expenses.  The  increase  in  research  and
development  expenses  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  costs  incurred  to
manufacture C225, the Company's lead product candidate.

     General and administrative expenses include administrative personnel costs,
costs incurred in connection with pursuing  arrangements with corporate partners
and expenses  associated  with applying for patent  protection for the Company's
technology and products.  Such expenses for the six-month periods ended June 30,
1996 and June 30, 1995 were each $1,587,000.

     Interest and other income was $454,000 for the six-month  period ended June
30, 1996  compared to $3,020,000  for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1995.
The decrease was primarily  attributable to the April 1995 sale of the Company's
preferred and common stock  holdings in Cadus  Pharmaceutical  Corporation to an
unrelated  party for  $3,000,000.  Such  decrease  was  mitigated  by  increased
interest  income earned from higher cash  balances in the  Company's  investment
portfolio resulting from the proceeds received from public stock offerings which
were  completed in November 1995 and February 1996,  respectively.  Interest and
other expense was $547,000  and $402,000 for the six-month  periods ended June
30, 1996 and June 30, 1995,  respectively.  Interest and other  expense for both
periods primarily  includes interest on two outstanding  Industrial  Development
Revenue  Bonds  with an  aggregate  principal  amount  of  $4,313,000,  interest
recorded on the liability to Pharmacia and UpJohn, Inc. for the reacquisition of
the worldwide rights to IL-6m and the contract  manufacture of clinical material
for the Company's  trials of IL-6m, and interest accrued and the amortization of
the non-cash debt discount recorded in connection with the Company's August 1995
financing  with the Oracle Group.  See Note 2.

     The Company had net losses of $7,715,000 or $0.41 per share, and $2,847,000
or $0.23 per share,  for the six-month  periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30,
1995,  respectively.  The net loss for the six-month  period ended June 30, 1996
included  a  $1,267,000  or  $0.07  per  share   extraordinary   loss  on  early
extinguishment  of debt.  This  extraordinary  loss  resulted  from the issuance
during the second quarter of Company Common Stock in lieu of cash repayment of a
$2,500,000  million loan due the Oracle Group and a $180,000 long-term note owed
to a Company  Director.  See  "Liquidity  and  Capital  Resources"  for  further
discussion  of these  transactions.  The  increased  loss per  share in the 1996
period is directly  attributable to the  extraordinary  loss and the Cadus stock
sale noted above.

Three Months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995

     Revenues for the three-month periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were each
$75,000  and  reflected  contract  research  fees from the  Company's  corporate
partnership with American Cyanamid Company in infectious disease vaccines.

     Total operating  expenses for the  three-month  periods ended June 30, 1996
and June 30, 1995 were  $3,438,000 and  $2,745,000,  respectively.  Research and
development  expenses for the  three-month  periods ended June 30, 1996 and June
30, 1995 were  $2,593,000  and  $1,941,000,  respectively.  Such amounts for the
three-month  periods ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995  represented  77% and
71%,  respectively,  of total operating  expenses.  The increase in research and
development  expenses  is  primarily  attributable  to  the  costs  incurred  to
manufacture C225, the Company's lead product candidate.

     General and administrative expenses include administrative personnel costs,
costs incurred in connection with pursuing  arrangements with corporate partners
and expenses  associated  with applying for patent  protection for the Company's
technology and products.  Such expenses for the  three-month  periods ended June
30, 1996 and June 30, 1995 were $845,000 and $804,000, respectively.

     Interest and other income was  $261,000  for the  three-month  period ended
June 30, 1996 compared to $3,007,000 for the  three-month  period ended June 30,
1995.  The decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to the April 1995 sale of the
Company's  remaining  50%  of  Cadus  stock  to an  unrelated  party  for  total
consideration of $3,000,000.  Such decrease was mitigated by increased  interest
income earned from higher cash balances in the  Company's  investment  portfolio
resulting  from the proceeds  received  from public stock  offerings  which were
completed in November  1995 and February  1996.  Interest and other  expense was
$200,000 and $170,000 for the  three-month  periods ended June 30, 1996 and June
30, 1995,  respectively.  Interest and other expense for both periods  primarily
includes interest on two outstanding  Industrial  Development Revenue Bonds with
an aggregate principal amount of $4,313,000,  interest recorded on the liability
to Pharmacia and UpJohn,  Inc. for the  reacquisition of the worldwide rights to
IL-6m and the contract manufacture of clinical material for the Company's trials
of IL-6m and interest accrued and the amortization of the non-cash debt discount
recorded in connection with the Company's  August 1995 financing with the Oracle
Group. See Note 2.

     The  Company  had a net loss of  $4,569,000  or  $0.23  per  share  for the
three-month  period ended June 30, 1996  compared with net income of $167,000 or
$0.01 per share for the three month period ended June 30, 1995. The net loss for
the  three-month  period ended June 30, 1996  included a $1,267,000 or $0.06 per
share  extraordinary  loss on early  extinguishment of debt. This  extraordinary
loss  resulted  from the issuance  during the second  quarter of Company  Common
Stock in lieu of cash  repayment  of a  $2,500,000  million  loan due the Oracle
Group and a $180,000  long-term note owed to a Company Director.  See "Liquidity
and  Capital  Resources"  for  further  discussion  of these  transactions.  The
increased  loss per share in the 1996  period is  directly  attributable  to the
extraordinary loss and the Cadus stock sale noted above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     The Company's cash and cash  equivalents and securities  available for sale
totaled  $17,227,000  at August 9, 1996; on June 30, 1996 such balances  totaled
$18,854,000.

     The  Company  owned 28% of the common and  preferred  stock of Cadus  until
December 1994 when it completed the sale of 50% of its holdings in Cadus to High
River Limited  Partnership  ("High River") for $3,000,000.  In April,  1995, the
Company  completed the sale of the  remaining  one-half of its shares of capital
stock of Cadus for  $3,000,000  to the same  party.  The  Company has a right to
repurchase all 3,238,184  shares of Cadus any time prior to October 27, 1996 for
$1.75 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances.  In exchange
for such right, the Company granted to High River two options to purchase shares
of Common Stock.  One option is to purchase  150,000 shares at an exercise price
of $2.00 per share, subject to adjustment under certain  circumstances,  and the
other  option is to purchase  300,000  shares at an exercise  price per share of
$0.69 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Both options
will expire on April 26, 2000.

     In August,  1995,  the Oracle Group  purchased  1,000,000  shares of Common
Stock for a purchase  price of $1,500,000  and made a loan to the Company in the
aggregate  amount  of  $2,500,000  with a  two-year  maturity,  but  subject  to
mandatory  prepayment,  in whole or in part,  upon  the  occurrence  of  certain
events,  including  the  raising of certain  additional  funds.  The Company has
recorded a non-cash debt discount of approximately $1,062,500 in connection with
this  financing.  The  Oracle  Group  includes  Oracle  Partners,  L.P.,  Quasar
International  Partners  C.V.,  Oracle  Institutional  Partners L.P., Sam Oracle
Fund,  Inc.  and Warren B.  Kanders.  The Oracle  Group also  received  warrants
exercisable at any time until August 10, 2000  entitling the holders  thereof to
purchase an aggregate of 500,000  shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.50 per
share and  500,000  shares of Common  Stock at a price of $3.00 per share.  As a
result of the Company's offerings of shares of its Common Stock in November 1995
and February 1996, the Oracle Group was entitled to require the Company to apply
20 percent of the gross  proceeds of the sale of the shares of Common Stock from
the offerings to repay the loan.

     In May 1996, the Company and the Oracle Group completed the exchange of the
notes in the aggregate  outstanding  principal amount of $2,500,000  million for
333,333  shares of Common  Stock and the  Company  paid the  accrued  and unpaid
interest through April 15, 1996, the date of the agreement in principle,  on the
notes in the amount of $143,000 in cash. The Company  recorded an  extraordinary
loss of $1,228,000 on the  extinguishment  of the debt. See Note 2. See "Results
of Operations".  In July 1996 the Company registered such shares of Common Stock
with the  Commission  under a  registration  statement  in  accordance  with the
provisions of the 1933 Act for resale by the Oracle Group.

     In July 1995,  a director  loaned the Company  $180,000  in exchange  for a
long-term note due two years from issuance at on annual  interest rate of 8%. As
part of the  transaction,  the director was granted 36,000  warrants to purchase
Company  common stock at $1.50 per share and an  additional  36,000  warrants to
purchase  Company common stock at $3.00 per share.  In May 1996, the Company and
the  director  exchanged  the note for  24,000  shares of  Common  Stock and the
Company paid the accrued and unpaid interest through April 15, 1996, the date of
the  agreement in principle,  on the note in the amount of $10,000 in cash.  The
Company recorded an extraordinary  loss of $39,000 on the  extinguishment of the
debt. See "Related Party Transactions" "Results of Operations". In July 1996 the
Company  registered  such  shares of Common  Stock with the  Commission  under a
registration statement in accordance with the provisions of the 1933 Act.

     In February 1996, the Company  completed a public sale of 2,200,000  shares
of Common Stock at a per share price to the public of $6.63. Net proceeds to the
Company  from  this  sale  totaled  approximately  $13,600,000  after  deducting
expenses  payable  by the  Company  in  connection  with  the  offering  and the
commission paid by the Company.

     In May 1996,  the Company  extended  its  collaboration  with Merck for the
development  of a  therapeutic  cancer  vaccine,  BEC-2,  for use in  small-cell
carcinoma and in malignant melanoma. The collaboration  continues a research and
license  agreement  between the two companies  signed in December of 1990. Under
the terms of the modified agreement, the Company could receive up to $11,700,000
in license fees,  research and  development  support and  milestone  payments in
addition to monies  previously  received in the original  agreement.  In return,
Merck has  marketing  rights to BEC-2 for all  therapeutic  indications  outside
North America.  Formerly the rights of Merck were confined to Europe,  Australia
and New Zealand.  Merck will also share in the development  costs for the United
States and Europe and will pay all development costs in other  territories.  The
Company will be entitled to royalties  based upon product sales outside of North
America.

     In May 1996, the Company entered into a two-year employment  agreement with
Carl S.  Goldfischer,  pursuant  to  which  Mr.  Goldfischer  will  serve as the
Company's Vice President for Finance and Strategic Planning, and Chief Financial
Officer. The agreement includes provisions relating to termination of employment
with  and  without  cause,  certain  payments  to Mr.  Goldfischer  in  case  of
termination, and compensation and stock options to be awarded to Mr. Goldfischer
during the term of the agreement.

     During the current and next  several  years,  the Company  expects to incur
substantial  additional research and development costs,  including costs related
to  pre-clinical  and  clinical  trials,  increased  administrative  expenses to
support  its  research  and   development   operations  and  increased   capital
expenditures  for  manufacturing  capacity and various  equipment needs. In June
1996, the Company and the New York  Industrial  Development  Agency extended the
maturity of the Company's  $2,113,000  repayment obligation to the NYIDA for the
1986  Industrial  Revenue Bond,  which was due on June 18, 1996, to December 15,
1997. In addition,  the $2,200,000 Industrial Development Revenue Bond issued on
behalf of the Company in 1990 becomes due in 2004.

     In July  1993,  the  Company  entered  into an  agreement  to  acquire  the
worldwide  rights to IL-6m,  a blood cell growth factor,  from  Erbamont,  now a
subsidiary of Pharmacia and UpJohn, Inc. ("Pharmacia"),  which had been licensed
to Pharmacia pursuant to a development and licensing agreement. In consideration
of the return of rights and the transfer of certain  material  and  information,
the Company has paid $900,000 and has further  obligations  to  Pharmacia.  Such
obligations, including those to pay for IL-6m material manufactured and supplied
by Pharmacia,  totaled $2,400,000 at the end of 1994. The total amount currently
due  Pharmacia  is  $2,400,000.  In  addition,  the  Company is  required to pay
Pharmacia  $2,700,000 in royalties on eventual sales of IL-6m,  if any. In March
1996, the Company entered into a Repayment  Agreement with Pharmacia by which it
has agreed to pay the $2,400,000  over 24 months  commencing in March 1996, with
interest  only  payable  during the first six  months.  In  connection  with the
Repayment Agreement,  the Company has signed a Confession of Judgment, which can
be filed in the case of default.  Pursuant to a Security  Agreement entered into
with Pharmacia,  the Company has pledged its interests in patents related to its
IL-6m and to heparanase to secure its obligations under the Repayment Agreement.

     The Company's future working capital and capital  requirements  will depend
upon numerous  factors,  including  the progress of the  Company's  research and
development  programs,  pre-clinical  testing and clinical trials, the Company's
corporate partners  fulfilling their obligations to the Company,  the timing and
cost of seeking  regulatory  approvals,  the level of resources that the Company
devotes to the development of manufacturing,  marketing and sales  capabilities,
technological advances, the status of competitors and the ability of the Company
to maintain  existing and establish new  collaborative  arrangements  with other
companies to provide funding to the Company to support these activities.

     The Company's  budgeted cash expenditures for the full year ending December
31,  1996  total  approximately  $16,000,000,  which  includes  $676,000  of the
$2,400,000  obligation  to  Pharmacia.  The Company  expects  that its  existing
capital  resources will be sufficient to fund its capital needs through mid-1997
(assuming  no  exercise  of the  Company's  option to  repurchase  the shares of
Cadus).  In order to fund its capital  needs after that time,  the Company  will
require  significant  levels of  additional  capital  and  intends  to raise the
necessary  capital through  additional  equity or debt financings,  arrangements
with corporate partners or from other sources.

     The Company has entered into  preliminary  discussions  with several  major
pharmaceutical  companies concerning the funding of research and development for
certain of its products in research.  No assurance can be given that the Company
will be successful in pursuing any such alternatives.  In addition,  the Company
may seek to enter into a significant strategic partnership with a pharmaceutical
company  for  the  development  of its  lead  product  candidate,  C225.  Such a
strategic  alliance could include an up-front equity investment and license fees
plus  milestone  fees and revenue  sharing.  There can be no assurance  that the
Company will be  successful in achieving  such an alliance,  nor can the Company
predict the amount of funds which might be  available  to it if it entered  into
such an alliance or the time at which such funds would be made available.

     The Company has granted a security interest in a substantial portion of the
facility  equipment  located  in its  New  York  City  facility  to  secure  the
obligations of the Company relating to the 1986 Industrial  Development Bond and
another  Industrial  Revenue Bond, which were issued to finance a portion of the
cost of the New York facility.

     In June 1992,  the Company  acquired land and a building in New Jersey at a
cost of approximately  $4,665,000,  including costs of acquisition.  The Company
has outfitted and purchased  equipment for the existing structure located on the
property to create a  clinical-scale  production  facility  that  complies  with
current Good Manufacturing  Practices regulations at a total approximate cost of
$5,400,000.  The facility was placed in service in late 1993. If clinical trials
of its products  continue to be successful,  the Company also intends to use the
facility  for  manufacturing  clinical  material for  late-stage  trials and, if
products are approved for  marketing,  for commercial  material.  The timing and
costs of further adapting the facility for commercial  manufacturing will depend
on several factors,  including the progress of products through clinical trials,
and are not yet determinable.

     Total capital  expenditures  made during the six months ended June 30, 1996
were  $294,000.  $236,000  related to the  refurbishment  and  equipping  of the
Company's manufacturing facility in New Jersey while $58,000 reflected equipment
purchases  for the research and  development  laboratories  at the Company's New
York facility.
