                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


General
The  financial  information  presented as of June 30, 1999,  and for the periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998,  is  unaudited.  In the  opinion of the  Company's
management,  the financial  information  contains all adjustments (which consist
only of normal recurring  adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of such
financial information.

Accounts  Receivable
Due to the cyclical nature of the Company's products,  a significant decrease in
sales and trade accounts  receivable  occurred in the second quarter of 1999. In
addition, reserve balances exist for RespiGam returns that are still expected to
occur and Synagis  government  rebate  allowances  relating to sales  during the
1998/1999 season are higher than the offsetting  receivables balances due to the
later processing cycle by certain states for these rebates. As a result of these
factors,  trade  accounts  receivable  at June 30,  1999  carries  a net  credit
balance.  This net credit balance has been  reclassified to accrued expenses for
financial statement presentation.

Inventory
Inventory, net of reserves, is comprised of the following (in thousands):

                                           June 30,  December 31,

                                          ========    ========

As a result of the June 1998 FDA approval and the subsequent  market  acceptance
of Synagis, the Company reserved approximately $9.2 million against its RespiGam
inventory in the second quarter of 1998, as no further significant product sales
were  expected to result from this  inventory.  The reserve  balances  were $6.5
million  and  $8.1   million  as  of  June  30,  1999  and  December  31,  1998,
respectively.  Raw materials include RespiGam raw plasma of $0.9 million,  which
reflects the amount the Company  expects to recover upon sale to third  parties.
Should the  Company be unable to sell the  remaining  raw plasma at its net book
value, a further charge in a subsequent quarter may be necessary.

The Company also continues to purchase plasma and other raw materials for use in
production in the Company's Frederick, Maryland manufacturing facility, which is
subject to FDA licensure and approval.  During the second  quarter,  the Company
submitted to the FDA an amendment to its Biologic License Application requesting
authorization to begin marketing Synagis produced at the Frederick facility. Due
to the uncertainty  surrounding  the likelihood and timing of FDA approval,  all
inventory  for  this  facility  has  been   classified  as  non-current  in  the
accompanying balance sheet.

Finished goods at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 include approximately $1.6
million  of  by-products  that  result  from  the  production  of the  Company's
principal products at one of its contract manufacturers and are held for resale.
As of June 30, 1999, minimal sales of these by-products have occurred.  The June
30, 1999 and December 31, 1998 balances are net of a reserve of $1.6 million.

</TABLE>

Construction  in progress at June 30, 1999 and December 31, 1998  includes  $6.7
million and $5.3 million,  respectively,  of capitalized interest related to the
design and  construction of the Company's  manufacturing  facility in Frederick,
Maryland.  Construction of the manufacturing  facility is substantially complete
and validation  activities are ongoing.  The Company will continue to capitalize
costs,  primarily capitalized interest,  related to the facility until placed in
service.  The  portions  of the  facility  that are  subject to  inspection  and
approval by the FDA will be placed in service and depreciation  will commence if
and when such approval is received.

Long-term  Debt
Subsequent  to June 30,  1999,  $60  million  of the  Company's  7%  convertible
subordinated notes were converted into common stock. The transaction resulted in
the issuance of 6,097,545  shares of common  stock and  increased  shareholders'
equity by $58.7 million,  the carrying  amount of the converted debt on the date
of the conversion.

Earnings per Share
The  Company  computes  earnings  per  share in  accordance  with  Statement  of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  ("SFAS") No. 128,  "Earnings Per Share." Basic
earnings per share is computed  based on the weighted  average  number of common
shares  outstanding  during the period.  Diluted  earnings per share is computed
based on the weighted  average shares  outstanding and the dilutive common stock
equivalents  outstanding  during the period.  The dilutive effect of convertible
debt is measured using the "if converted"  method.  The dilutive effect of stock
options is measured  using the treasury stock method.  Common stock  equivalents
are not included in periods where there is a loss as they are anti-dilutive. The
following is a  reconciliation  of the numerator and  denominator of the diluted
EPS computation for the six-month period ended June 30, 1999.

Net earnings                                          $18,474

Options to purchase  118,700  shares of common  stock with prices  ranging  from
$58.88 to $71.25 per share were  outstanding in the first half of 1999, but were
not included in the computation of diluted  earnings per share because they were
anti-dilutive.  No  reconciliation of the numerator and denominator is necessary
for the  six-month  period  ending June 30,  1998,  as a loss was  reported  and
inclusion of potential common shares would be anti-dilutive.

Income Tax Provision
In the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company concluded that it is more likely than
not that it will  realize  a  portion  of the  benefit  of  previously  reserved
deferred tax assets.  Accordingly,  the Company reduced the valuation  allowance
against the asset and recorded a tax benefit of $59.8 million in December  1998.
Due to the  recognition  of the  Company's  tax benefit in 1998,  the  Company's
effective tax rate for 1999 is expected to approximate  the  applicable  federal
and state  statutory  rates.  The recognition of these deferred tax assets under
SFAS No. 109 has no impact on the Company's  cash flows for income taxes despite
the change in the Company's  effective tax rate. A provision for income taxes of
$11.2 million was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to
no provision  recorded  for the six months  ended June 30, 1998.  The income tax
provision for the six month period ending June 30, 1999 has been computed  using
an effective  combined  federal and state tax rate of 37.7%.  The tax benefit of
stock option  exercise  deductions has been recorded  directly to  shareholders'
equity.

Restatements
Prior year share and per share  amounts have been restated to give effect to the
two-for-one stock split on December 31, 1998.

New Accounting  Pronouncement
Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities
In June  1998,  the  FASB  issued  SFAS  No.  133,  "Accounting  for  Derivative
Instruments and Hedging  Activities".  SFAS No. 133  establishes  accounting and
reporting  standards for derivative  instruments,  including certain  derivative
instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities.

SFAS No. 133 requires companies to recognize all derivatives as either assets or
liabilities,  with the  instruments  measured at fair value.  The accounting for
changes in fair  value,  gains or losses,  depends  on the  intended  use of the
derivative  and its  resulting  designation.  The statement is effective for all
fiscal  quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Company will
adopt SFAS No. 133 by January 1, 2001.  Because of the Company's  minimal use of
derivatives,  management  does not anticipate  that the adoption of SFAS No. 133
will have a  material  effect  on the  earnings  or  financial  position  of the
Company.

ITEM 2.

                                 MEDIMMUNE, INC.
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                  FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998
Product sales were $8.2 million in second  quarter 1999 and 1998.  Synagis sales
of $1.3  million  for the  second  quarter  of 1999  included  $0.7  million  of
international sales to Abbott Laboratries,  the Company's exclusive  distributor
of Synagis,  outside of the United States.  CytoGam sales  decreased 28% to $5.5
million  from $7.6  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1999  versus the second
quarter of 1998,  reflecting a 20% decrease in total units sold, a change in the
sales mix to include a greater  percentage of  international  units which have a
lower unit selling price, and an increase in government rebate  allowances.  The
decrease in units sold reflects the variability in sales that may occur from the
use of CytoGam as a substitute for standard intravenous immune globulin ("IVIG")
products,  for which there is  currently a worldwide  shortage.  RespiGam  sales
increased  172% from $0.5  million  in second  quarter  1998 to $1.2  million in
second  quarter 1999.  The Company  believes  that a significant  portion of the
RespiGam sales that occurred were as a result of product substitution  occurring
because of the  worldwide  shortage of standard IVIG  products.  The duration of
this  shortage  and  continued  impact,  if any,  on  product  sales  cannot  be
determined  at this  time.  Future  sales of  RespiGam  for the RSV  market  are
expected  to be  minimal.  Other  revenues  in the 1999  second  quarter of $2.0
million  consist  primarily  of funding  from  SmithKline  Beecham  ("SKB")  for
development  of a  human  papillomavirus  vaccine.  The  1998  quarter  included
research  funding  from SKB and a $15  million  milestone  payment  from  Abbott
Laboratories upon FDA approval of Synagis.

Cost of sales in second  quarter  1999  decreased  to $4.6  million  from  $14.5
million  in  second  quarter  1998,  a  decrease  of 69%.  Cost of sales in 1998
includes the write-down of RespiGam inventories of approximately $9.2 million as
a result of the FDA approval of Synagis, a charge of $1.3 million for RSV plasma
contract  termination  costs,  a charge of $1.3  million for the  write-down  of
certain by-product  inventories and a credit for amounts previously recorded for
additional  royalties  expected  to be  due  to  Massachusetts  Health  Research
Institute (`MHRI').  Excluding the effects of these one-time adjustments,  gross
margins were 44% in the 1999 quarter compared to 40% in the 1998 quarter.

Research, development and clinical spending increased 21% to $8.9 million in the
second  quarter  of 1999  from  $7.3  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1998,
primarily due to increased  clinical trial spending for MEDI-507,  the Company's
HPV program and  additional  Synagis  trials.  Clinical  spending is expected to
increase  in the  coming  quarters  as the  Company  moves  more of its  product
candidates into the clinic and expands trials on products already in the clinic.

Selling,  administrative  and general expenses increased to $9.9 million in this
year's  quarter  from $3.2  million in the 1998  quarter,  an  increase of 207%.
Expenses in 1998 are net of $4.2 million due from American Home Products ("AHP")
for its share of RespiGam  product line loss as computed  under the terms of the
Company's  alliance with AHP.  Expenses in second quarter 1999 include increased
wage and related  expenses as well as increased  marketing and selling  expenses
related to the continued promotion of Synagis.

<PAGE>


Other operating expenses of $6.0 million in the 1999 period decreased from $19.1
million in the 1998 period.  Charges in both periods  include  start-up costs at
the Company's  manufacturing  facility in Frederick,  Maryland.  Other operating
expenses  in 1999  include a charge  of $1.4  million  to  reserve  for  certain
equipment purchased for use in the Frederick  Manufacturing Center (`FMC") as it
was determined that the equipment  ultimately will not be used in that facility.
Other  operating  expenses in the 1998  period  include a $10.3  million  charge
incurred  prior to FDA  approval of Synagis  related to the  buy-down of certain
Synagis royalty obligations,  costs related to scale-up of Synagis production at
a third-party  manufacturer and at the Company's Gaithersburg  Manufacturing and
Development Facility ("GMDF").

Interest income of $2.6 million was earned in the 1999 second quarter,  compared
to $1.9 million in the second quarter of 1998,  reflecting  higher cash balances
available for investment, partially offset by a decrease in interest rates which
lowered  the  overall  portfolio  yield.  Interest  expense of $0.9  million was
incurred in both the 1999 and 1998 quarters,  reflecting  primarily interest due
on the Company's convertible debt, net of capitalized interest.

The Company  recorded a tax benefit for income taxes of $7.0 million in the 1999
quarter to bring the year to date tax  provision to an effective  rate of 37.7%.
No income tax benefit was recorded in the 1998 period as the Company  incurred a
loss and still had a full valuation  allowance  against its deferred  taxes.  In
December  1998,  the Company  concluded that it was more likely than not it will
realize a portion of the benefit of previously deferred tax assets. Accordingly,
the Company reduced the valuation allowance against the asset and recorded a tax
benefit of $59.8 million. Due to the recognition of the Company's tax benefit in
1998,  the Company  estimates that its effective tax rate will  approximate  the
applicable federal and state statutory rate for 1999 and the near term.

The net loss in the 1999 second  quarter was $10.4  million,  or $0.19 basic and
diluted net loss per share.  Shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss
per share were 56.0  million.  The net loss for the  second  quarter of 1998 was
$18.6  million,  or $0.35 basic and  diluted net loss per share.  Shares used in
computing the second quarter 1998 net loss per share were 53.1 million.

Quarterly financial results may vary significantly due to seasonality of Synagis
product sales,  fluctuation in sales of CytoGam,  milestone  payments,  research
funding and  expenditures  for research,  development  and  marketing  programs.
Synagis sales are expected to occur primarily  during,  and in proximity to, the
RSV season,  which  typically  occurs  between  November and April in the United
States.  No  assurances  can be  given  that  adequate  product  supply  will be
available to meet demand.  In addition,  no assurance  can be given that the FDA
will  approve  the  Company's  supplement  to its BLA for  marketing  of Synagis
produced at the FMC.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1999 AND 1998

Product sales increased 165% to $135.2 million in the 1999 six months from $51.0
million in the 1998 six months. Net sales of Synagis,  which was approved by the
FDA in June 1998, were $117.5 million for the first half of 1999, which includes
$2.2  million  of  international  sales to Abbott  Laboratories,  the  Company's
exclusive  distributor of Synagis,  outside the United States. Most of the sales
were  recorded  in the first  quarter of 1999,  reflecting  the  seasonality  of
Synagis  CytoGam  sales for the six months ended June 30, 1999  decreased 17% to
$15.2  million from $18.4  million in the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  The
decrease  primarily  reflects  a change in the  sales  mix to  include a greater
percentage  of  international  units  which  have a lower  selling  price,  a 3%
decrease in total units sold, and an increase in government  rebate  allowances.
The decrease in units sold reflects the  variability in the sales that may occur
as a  result  of the  use of  CytoGam  as an  IVIG  substitute.  RespiGam  sales
decreased  95% from $32.6  million in the first half of 1998 to $1.6  million in
the first half of 1999, reflecting the shift in customer demand from RespiGam to
Synagis for prevention of RSV disease.  Other revenues in both the 1999 and 1998
periods  include  funding  from SKB for  development  of a human  papillomavirus
vaccine.  Other  revenues in 1998 also  include a $15 million  payment  from SKB
following the signing of the agreement for development of a human papillomavirus
vaccine and a $15 million  milestone  payment from Abbott  Laboratories upon FDA
approval of Synagis.

Cost of sales for the 1999 six months  decreased 3% to $35.8  million from $36.8
million in the 1998 six  months.  Cost of sales in 1998  includes  approximately
$11.8  million  related to the writedown of RespiGam  inventory  and  by-product
inventory and a credit for previously  recorded  royalties expected to be due to
MHRI.  Excluding the effects of these one time adjustments,  gross margins would
have been 74% for the 1999 period versus 47% for the 1998 period.  This increase
primarily reflects favorable margins on Synagis, which was not sold in the first
half of 1998 and has lower production costs than CytoGam and RespiGam.

Research  and  development  expenses  of $17.6  million  in the 1999 six  months
increased  36% from  $13.0  million  in the 1998 six  months,  primarily  due to
increased clinical spending for MEDI-507 and additional Synagis trials. Selling,
general and administrative expenses were $46.9 million and $16.1 million for the
1999 and 1998  periods,  respectively,  an  increase  of 191%.  Expenses in 1999
include increased  marketing and selling expenses as well as commission  charges
and co-promotion  expenses to the Ross Products Division of Abbott  Laboratories
in connection  with the launch and continued  promotion of Synagis.  Expenses in
1998 were net of $4.2 million in  reimbursement  from AHP due under the terms of
the RespiGam co-promotion agreement.

Other operating expenses, which reflects manufacturing start-up costs, decreased
in the 1999  period to $11.9  million  from $24.9  million  in the 1998  period.
Expenses  in 1999  include a charge  of $1.4  million  to  reserve  for  certain
equipment  purchased for use in the FMC, as it was determined that the equipment
ultimately  will not be used in that facility.  Expenses in 1998 include a $10.3
million charge for the buy-down of certain Synagis royalty  obligations prior to
FDA approval,  as well as start-up costs for the Company's FMC and costs related
to scale-up of production of Synagis at a  third-party  manufacturer  and at the
Company's GMDF.

Income tax expense of $11.2  million was  recorded for the six months ended June
30, 1999, at an overall  effective  tax rate of 37.7%,  which  approximates  the
statutory  rate.  An income  tax  benefit  was not  recorded  in 1998 due to the
uncertainty of utilization of deferred tax assets at that time.

Interest  income of $4.8  million and $3.6  million was recorded in the 1999 and
1998 six months,  respectively.  The  increase  reflects  higher  cash  balances
available  for  investment  partially  offset  by lower  interest  rates,  which
decreased the overall portfolio yield.

Interest  expense of $1.8 million in the 1999 period  versus $2.0 million in the
1998 period reflects primarily  interest on the Company's  convertible debt, net
of capitalized interest, as well as interest on equipment financing.

Net income in the 1999 six months was $18.5  million,  or $0.33  basic and $0.29
diluted  earnings per share,  versus a net loss of $5.4 million,  or $0.10 basic
and diluted net loss per share for the six months  ended June 30,  1998.  Shares
used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share in 1999 were 55.6 million
and 65.7 million,  respectively.  Shares used in computing basic and diluted net
loss per share in 1998 were 52.5 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash and marketable  securities at June 30, 1999 were $184.2 million compared to
$134.9  million at 1998 year end. Net cash  provided by operating  activities in
the six months ended June 30, 1999 was $47.2 million,  reflecting net income for
the period and a decrease in accounts receivable offset by a decrease in accrued
expenses,  primarily  as a result of  payments  made to Abbott  Laboratories  in
conjunction with the Synagis  co-promotion  agreement.  Capital  expenditures of
$4.3  million,  net of  capitalized  interest,  for the  1999  six  months  were
primarily for equipment and  facilities  improvements  at the Company's FMC. The
Company  receives cash from the exercise of employee stock  options.  During the
six months ended June 30, 1999, stock option exercises provided $15.3 million of
cash compared  with $3.3 million for the same period in 1998.  In addition,  the
Company  received  $71.3  million in 1998 from the  issuance of common  stock in
private placement transactions.

The Company's  existing funds at June 30, 1999,  together with funds expected to
be generated from product sales and investment  income,  are expected to provide
sufficient  liquidity  to meet the  anticipated  needs of the  business  for the
foreseeable future, absent the occurrence of any unforeseen events.

Year 2000 READINESS

The  Company  has   established   a  Year  2000   Project   Team   comprised  of
representatives  from key functional  areas to complete a review of its internal
and external systems for Year 2000 readiness. The Year 2000 issue is expected to
affect the systems of the Company  and various  entities  with which the Company
interacts,  including the Company's  marketing  partners,  suppliers and various
vendors.  The Year 2000 Project is designed to address  three major  areas:  (1)
information  technology systems,  (2) hardware,  equipment and  instrumentation,
including  embedded systems,  and (3) third party  relationships.  The Company's
plan involves  inventorying,  assessing and prioritizing  those items which have
Year  2000  implications;   remediating  (repairing,   replacing  or  upgrading)
non-compliant items; testing items with major exposure to ensure compliance; and
developing  contingency plans to minimize potential business  interruption.  The
inventory,  assessment and prioritization  phase of the project is substantially
complete.

With regard to the Company's information technology systems, hardware, equipment
and   instrumentation,   the  Company  has  identified   mission   critical  and
non-critical items and is in the process of updating and/or replacing items that
are non-compliant.  The Company believes that it should be able to substantially
complete  implementation  of critical aspects of its Year 2000 plan prior to the
commencement  of the year 2000.  Because  the Company  has relied  primarily  on
off-the-shelf  software for its information technology needs and because much of
the hardware,  equipment and instrumentation is currently compliant, the Company
does not  anticipate  that the costs for  internal  remediation  efforts will be
significant.  The Company does not  separately  track the internal  costs of its
Year 2000 compliance  efforts and therefore these costs are unknown.  As of June
30,  1999,  the  Company  estimates  that it has  spent  no more  than  $250,000
replacing,  upgrading  or  repairing  the  systems  and/or  equipment  that  are
non-compliant  and expects the cost to complete  these efforts should not exceed
$300,000.  The Company  presently  anticipates  that its testing and remediation
efforts will be substantially complete by September 30, 1999.

In addition to the risks  associated with the Company's own computer systems and
equipment,  the  Company  has  relationships  with,  and is in  varying  degrees
dependent upon, a large number of third parties that provide information,  goods
and services to the Company.  These include, but are not limited to, third party
manufacturers,   suppliers,   customers,  and  distributors.   The  Company  has
identified  and visited the  facilities  of third parties with which the Company
has material relationships to assess their Year 2000 readiness. Critical systems
and Year 2000 plans were  reviewed.  The  Company  may also be  affected  by the
failure of other third parties to be Year 2000  compliant even if they do not do
business directly with the Company.  For example,  the failure of state, federal
and private  payers or  reimbursers to be Year 2000 compliant and thus unable to
make timely,  proper or complete  payments to sellers and users of the Company's
products, could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Company is currently in the process of formalizing its Year 2000 contingency
plan. The Company expects to have finalized a contingency plan that will address
the most likely worst case Year 2000  scenario by the end of third quarter 1999.
The Company  believes that its most likely worst case scenario  would be a break
in the cold chain of its  finished  goods  inventory  due to a power  failure or
failed  monitoring  equipment.  To mitigate this risk, the Company plans,  among
other things, to ensure that third party warehouses have appropriate contingency
plans in place to react  promptly to maintain  the cold chain (for  example,  by
having a generator on hand).

With  regard  to  the  Company's  Year  2000  readiness  plan,  there  can be no
assurances:  1) that the  Company  will be able to  identify  all aspects of its
business  that are  subject  to Year  2000  problems,  including  issues  of its
customers or suppliers,  2) that the Company's  software vendors,  third parties
and others will be correct in their assertions that they are Year 2000 ready, 3)
that the  Company's  estimate  of the cost of Year  2000  readiness  will  prove
ultimately  to be  accurate,  4) that the Company  will be able to  successfully
address its Year 2000 issues and that this could result in interruptions  in, or
failures of, certain normal  business  activities or operations  that may have a
material  adverse  effect on the Company's  business,  results of operations and
financial condition.
