                      IMMULOGIC PHARMACEUTICAL CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                 March 31, 1998
                                   (unaudited)

NOTE A - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect
all adjustments which are necessary, in the opinion of management, for a fair
presentation of results of the interim periods presented. The statements do not
include all information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting principles and therefore should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's 1997
Form 10-K. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full fiscal year.

NOTE B - NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (SFAS 132) "Employers' Disclosures About
Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits". SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 1997. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS will have any impact on its financial statement disclosures.

The Company adopted SFAS No. 130 (SFAS 130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income"
for the period ended March 31, 1998. The adoption of this statement had no
impact on the Company's financial statements for the periods presented.


NOTE C - SUBLEASE SECURITY DEPOSIT

During the first quarter of 1998, the Company received a security deposit in the
amount of $500,000 in accordance with the sublease agreement for its Waltham, MA
facility.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Revenues for the first quarter of 1998 were $530,000 compared to $552,000 for
the first quarter of 1997. In both periods, revenues consisted primarily of
research funding from Schering AG, Germany (Schering) related to a joint
development and collaboration agreement for the Company's multiple sclerosis
program and sponsored research revenues from the National Institute of Health
(NIH) for a grant related to the research and development of the Company's
cocaine vaccine.

OPERATING EXPENSES
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company's research and development
expenses decreased $3,404,000 or 69.6% to $1,487,000 from $4,891,000 for the
same period in 1997. The decrease in research and development expenses is due
primarily to the Company's restructuring which occurred during 1997.
Specifically, reduced headcount and related savings and reduced expenditures for
the Company's discontinued ALLERVAX(R) CAT and RAGWEED programs contributed to
the savings.

General and administrative expenses were $867,000 and $2,888,000 for the
quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, representing a decrease of
$2,021,000 or 70.0%. The decrease was primarily due to headcount and related
cost savings resulting from the Company's restructuring which occurred during
1997 and to severance totaling approximately $1,054,000 incurred and paid during
the first quarter of 1997 to the former Chairman of the Board of the Company.

INTEREST INCOME
Interest income for the first quarter of 1998 was $703,000 compared to $891,000
for the first quarter of 1997, a decrease of $188,000 or 21.1%. The decrease in
interest income for the quarter resulted primarily from a lower available
investment balance as compared to the prior year.

NET LOSS
The Company reported a net loss of $1,121,000 ($(0.06) per share) for the first
quarter of 1998 compared to a net loss of $6,336,000 ($(0.31) per share) for the
first quarter of 1997, a decrease of $5,215,000 or 82.3%. The decrease in net
loss for the period resulted primarily due to the Company's restructuring which
occurred during 1997 and to severance totaling approximately $1,054,000 incurred
and paid to the former Chairman of the Board of the Company during the first
quarter of 1997, offset in part by lower interest income for the quarter as
compared to prior year.

In addition, the Company entered into a staged sublease agreement effective
February 28, 1998 for its Waltham, Massachusetts facility with the entire
facility being sub-leased effective October 1, 1998. This sublease agreement
will further reduce operating costs and related cash expenditures in future
quarters. The Company is planning for the sale of the majority of the equipment
located in its facility and is in the process of obtaining new space to
accommodate its operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and cash equivalents and investments were $50,392,000 at March 31, 1998
compared to $52,293,000 at December 31, 1997. Net cash used in operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $1,901,000 as compared to $6,505,000
in the comparable 1997 period. The decrease of $4,604,000 was due primarily to
the Company's restructuring which occurred during 1997 and to severance totaling
approximately $1,054,000 paid to the former Chairman of the Board of the Company
during the first quarter of 1997. In addition, the Company received a security
deposit in the amount of $500,000 in accordance with the sublease agreement for
its Waltham, MA facility. Offsetting these savings was a decrease in accounts
payable and accrued expenses of $1,644,000 due to the payment of expenses
accrued as of December 31, 1997 and reduced interest income for the first
quarter of 1998 as compared to prior year.

The Company has funded its operations to date primarily through the sale of
equity securities, sponsored research revenues, license payments, and earnings
on invested capital. The Company has expended substantial funds for the
research and development of its product candidates, and may in the future
expend substantial funds for further research and development of its product
candidates. The Company may seek to obtain additional funds for these purposes
through equity or debt financings, collaborative arrangements with corporate
partners, or from other sources. No assurance can be given that such additional
funds will be available to the Company for such purposes on acceptable terms,
if at all. Insufficient funds could require the Company to delay, scale back,
or eliminate certain of its research and development programs or to license
third parties to develop products or technologies that the Company would
otherwise develop itself. The Company anticipates that its existing capital
resources will enable it to maintain its current and planned operations through
at least December 31, 2000.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (SFAS 132) "Employers' Disclosures About
Pensions and Other Post Retirement Benefits". SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after December 31, 1997. The Company does not believe that the
adoption of SFAS will have any impact on its financial statement disclosures.

The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130 (SFAS
130) "Reporting Comprehensive Income" for the period ended March 31, 1998. The
adoption of this statement had no impact on the Company's financial statements
for the periods presented.
