For a presentation including all disclosures required by generally accepted 
accounting principles, these consolidated financial statements should be read 
in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year 
ended December 31, 1997, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and its wholly owned subsidiary, ICOS Development Corporation.  All
significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

2.  Research and Development Arrangements

    Suncos

     The Company owns a 50% interest in Suncos Corporation ("Suncos"), a 
corporation formed for the development and commercialization of rPAF-AH.  
Pursuant to the terms of agreements entered into with Suncos, the Company 
conducts certain research and development activities on behalf of Suncos and 
is paid for such services based upon costs incurred.  For the three months 
ended March 31, 1998, the Company recognized research and development cost 
reimbursement revenue of $2.4 million under this arrangement. 

    ICOS Clinical Partners, L.P.

     In 1997, ICOS Clinical Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), an affiliate 
of the Company, completed the sale to private investors of interests in the 
Partnership.  Proceeds from the offering will be used by the Partnership to

fund continued development of product candidates by the Company pursuant to 
the terms of a Product Development Agreement based on three compounds:  
Hu23F2G, rPAF-AH and ICM3.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company recognized cost 
reimbursement revenue of $3.7 million from the Partnership. 

3.  Net Loss Per Common Share

     In 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share ("Statement 
128").  Statement 128 establishes standards for the computation, presentation, 
and disclosure of earnings per share ("EPS"), replacing the presentation of 
the previously required primary EPS with a presentation of basic EPS.  It also 
requires dual presentation of basic EPS and diluted EPS on the face of the 
income statement for entities with complex capital structures.  Basic EPS is 
based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the 
period.  Diluted EPS is based on the potential dilution that would occur on 
exercise or conversion of securities into common stock using the treasury 
stock method.  Under the provisions of Statement 128, common shares that are 
considered to be antidilutive are excluded from the computation of diluted 
EPS.  As the Company has a loss from continuing operations, inclusion of 
potential common shares in the diluted EPS computation will result in an 
antidilutive per share amount.  Therefore, as any potentially dilutive common 
stock equivalents are antidilutive, the adoption of this statement does not 
have an impact on reported EPS.   Securities that could potentially dilute 
basic EPS in future periods include all outstanding stock options, stock 
warrants and contingently issuable stock warrants.

     For the period ended March 31, 1998, options to acquire 6.3 million shares 
of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $8.58 per share, 
warrants to acquire 7.6 million shares of common stock with a weighted average 
exercise price of $9.45 per share and contingently issuable stock warrants to 
acquire 7.6 million shares of common stock have been excluded from the 
computation of diluted net loss per common share.  For the period ended 
March 31, 1997, options to purchase 5.5 million shares of common stock have 
been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share.

4.  New Accounting Standard

     In 1998, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board 
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive 
Income (Statement 130).  The objective of Statement 130 is to report a measure 
of all changes in equity of an enterprise that do not result from transactions 
with owners ("comprehensive income").  Comprehensive income is the total of 
net income (loss) and all other nonowner changes in equity.

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


Results of Operations

Risks and Uncertainties
- -----------------------

     This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to 
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ 
materially from those projected.  The Company's future cash requirements and 
expense levels will depend on many factors, including continued scientific 
progress in its research and development programs; the results of research and 
development, preclinical studies and clinical trials; acquisitions of products 
or technology, if any; relationships with corporate collaborators; competing 
technological and market developments; the time and costs involved in filing, 
prosecuting and enforcing patent claims; the time and costs of manufacturing 
scale-up and commercialization activities; and other factors.  Reference is 
made to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for more detailed description 
of such factors.  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these 
forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report.  
The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any 
revisions to these forward-looking statements that may be made to reflect 
events or circumstances after the date of this report or to reflect the 
occurrence of unanticipated events.
 
Overview

     The Company is developing and commercializing proprietary pharmaceutical 
candidates for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and other serious 
medical conditions by understanding the underlying mechanisms and identifying 
the molecular entities involved.  

     The Company's strategy is to identify therapeutic targets through an 
understanding of inflammation at the molecular level.  The Company is 
developing pharmaceutical products that address important cellular and 
molecular mechanisms in three separate, yet interrelated, areas of the 
inflammatory process:  directed cell movement, the inhibition of 
proinflammatory mediators and intracellular signal transduction.  Each of 
these different mechanisms may provide broad opportunities in the treatment of 
chronic diseases that have inflammatory components, such as multiple 
sclerosis, and in the treatment of acute inflammatory conditions, such as 
those associated with acute respiratory distress syndrome,

Form 10-Q                                                                Page 7

hemorrhagic shock and myocardial infarction.  In addition, the Company's other 
programs have yielded additional approaches that may be useful in treating 
cardiovascular diseases and cancer.  The Company believes that its discoveries 
will allow it to develop novel therapeutics that are more selective in their 
activities than existing drugs.

     Financial results for the first quarter of 1998 reflect planned increases 
in operating expenses necessary for advancing multiple product candidates 
through the therapeutic product development process.  Development activities 
include product development, process development and the establishment and 
management of clinical trials.  The Company expects increased clinical, 
regulatory, process development and product development activities over the 
remainder of the year and in future periods.

     The Company has an accumulated deficit at March 31, 1998 of 
$130.6 million.  The Company's results of operations may vary significantly 
from quarter to quarter and will depend, among other factors, on the timing 
of certain expenses and payments received from certain collaborations, joint 
ventures and other business relationships, as well as the progress of the 
Company's own research and development efforts, timing of clinical trials 
and the regulatory process.  The Company expects increased expenditures over 
the next several quarters as it continues to expand the size and number of 
clinical trials of its product candidates, continues to expand preclinical 
research and development activities in support of additional potential 
products, and initiates clinical trials of those product candidates deemed 
most promising.

Revenues

     Revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 totaled $6.6 million and 
consisted of (i) $3.7 million from ICOS Clinical Partners, L.P. (the 
"Partnership"), (ii) $2.4 million in cost reimbursement revenue from Suncos 
Corporation ("Suncos"), the Company's joint venture with Suntory Limited of 
Japan ("Suntory"), and (iii) $0.5 million received under the Company's 
research and development agreement with Abbott Laboratories.  Revenue for the 
first quarter of 1997 totaled $2.2 million, and consisted of $1.7 million in 
cost reimbursement revenue from Suncos and $0.5 million received under the 
Company's agreement with Abbott Laboratories.  

Operating Expenses

     Total operating expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 increased 
to $15.2 million from $9.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. 

     Research and development expenses for the first quarter of 1998 increased 
to $14.4 million from $9.1 million for the first quarter of 1997. The increase 
in research and development expenses was due primarily to costs associated 
with the progression of clinical trials for Hu23F2G, rPAF-AH, ICM3 and IC351, 
and the expansion of other product development efforts.  


Form 10-Q                                                               Page 8

<PAGE>

     General and administrative expenses for both the first quarter of 1998 
and 1997 totaled $0.8 million. 

Other Income and Expense

     Other income primarily represents investment income earned on the 
Company's investment securities and interest accrued on the Company's loan to 
the Partnership.  Investment income for the first quarter of 1998 totaled $0.3 
million compared to $0.5 million for the first quarter of 1997.  This decrease 
was due primarily to lower average cash and investment balances during the 
first quarter of 1998 compared to the first quarter of 1997.  Total interest 
accrued on the loan to the Partnership totaled $0.2 million for the first 
quarter of 1998.

Net Loss

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company's net loss increased to 
$8.2 million or $0.21 per share from $7.1 million or $0.18 per share for the 
first quarter of 1997.  The increase in net loss was due primarily to costs 
associated with the progression of clinical trials for Hu23F2G, rPAF-AH and 
ICM3 and IC351, and the expansion of other product development efforts, which 
were partially offset by increased revenues from Suncos and the Partnership. 

Liquidity & Capital Resources

     The Company has financed its operations since inception through private 
and public sales of common stock, investment income, revenue from research 
collaborations, license payments and grants and capital lease obligations.

     At March 31, 1998, the Company had $19.1 million in cash and cash 
equivalents, investment securities, and interest receivable, a decrease of 
$6.6 million from December 31, 1997.  This decrease is primarily attributable 
to increased costs associated with clinical trials for Hu23F2G, rPAH-AH, ICM3 
and IC351, increased production of materials to support these and future 
clinical trials, regulatory submissions and expansion of the Company's other 
research and development programs.  These increased costs were partially 
offset by increased revenues from Suncos and the Partnership.

     For the three months ended March 31, 1998, the Company spent $1.4 million 
for the purchase of capital equipment and leasehold improvements to support 
research and development activities.  To support its ongoing and future 
research and product development efforts over the next several years, the 
Company will need to purchase additional capital equipment and lease or 
purchase additional laboratory and administrative facilities.

Form 10-Q                                                               Page 9

     In 1997, the Partnership completed the sale to private investors of 
interests in the Partnership.  Proceeds from the offering will be used by the 
Partnership to fund continued development by the Company of product candidates 
based on three compounds:  Hu23F2G; rPAF-AH; and ICM3, pursuant to the terms 
of a product development agreement.  The product candidates were licensed to 
the Partnership by the Company in connection with the sale of the 
Partnership units.  

     The sale will result in net proceeds to the Partnership of approximately 
$79.8 million. Approximately $25.9 million, before payment of offering costs, 
was paid to the Partnership on closing and the balance will be paid in 
installments over a three-year period.  In connection with the offering of 
Partnership units, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7.6 
million shares of the Company's common stock.  

     During 1997, the Company loaned the Partnership $7.3 million to fund 
certain initial expenditures of the Partnership that consist primarily of 
organizational expenses, selling commissions and financial advisory and other 
fees.  Interest is payable on June 1, 1998, June 1, 1999 and at maturity on 
June 1, 2000.

     The Company anticipates that its operating expenses will continue to 
increase during 1998 and in subsequent years as it adds personnel and 
facilities associated with advancing several potential product candidates 
through development and clinical trials.  Foreseeable incremental costs may 
include, but are not limited to, those associated with the Company's own 
product development, preclinical studies and clinical trials, patent filings 
and administrative activities.  The Company may also incur costs and make 
capital contributions under its joint venture agreement with Suntory related 
to its obligations to develop rPAF-AH.  Under provisions of the development 
agreement with Suncos, the Company will be reimbursed for certain of these 
costs, however, there can be no assurance that all such costs will be 
reimbursed.  The Company may also incur costs associated with the development 
of Hu23F2G, rPAF-AH and ICM3, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership 
Agreement.

     The Company intends to use its financial resources for ongoing and future 
clinical trials of certain of its current product candidates including 
Hu23F2G, rPAF-AH, ICM3, and IC351, expansion of preclinical research and 
development activities for additional potential product candidates and the
initiation of clinical trials for those product candidates deemed most 
promising, expansion of the Company's facilities and general corporate purposes.

     The Company anticipates that its existing cash, including interest income 
from cash investments and payments from Abbott Laboratories, Suncos and the 
Partnership, will be adequate to satisfy its cash requirements through at 
least the third quarter of 1998.  The Company will need to raise substantial
additional funds for its programs.  The Company is currently evaluating several 
financing alternatives, some of which may involve the sale of additional stock, 
commencement of additional corporate partnerships and other methods of raising
operating capital from public, private and corporate sources.  The Company
anticipates completion of one or more of these financing events during 1998.

Form 10-Q                                                               Page 10
<PAGE>

     The Company has been successful in negotiating collaborations and joint 
development agreements with other parties where the work and strategies of the 
other parties complement those of the Company.  In some instances, these 
relationships may involve commitments by the Company to fund some or all of 
certain development programs.  Although corporate collaborations and joint 
ventures have provided cost reimbursement revenue to the Company in the past, 
there can be no assurance that such funds will be available to the Company in 
the future.  The Company intends to expand its operations and hire the 
additional personnel deemed necessary to continue development of its current 
portfolio of product candidates in clinical trials, as well as continuing 
discovery and preclinical research to identify additional potential drug 
candidates.  The Company anticipates that expansion of these activities will 
increase operating expenses in future quarters.  Further, incremental 
expenditures will be required for additional laboratory, production and office 
facilities to accommodate activities and the personnel associated with this 
increased development activity.  As such, the Company will need to raise 
substantial additional funds to conduct its research and development 
activities, preclinical studies and clinical trials necessary to bring its 
product candidates to market and to establish marketing capabilities if and 
when a product candidate is ready for commercialization.  There can be no 
assurance that additional funds will be available as needed or on terms that 
are acceptable to the Company.  Insufficient funding will require the Company 
to delay, scale-back or eliminate some or all of its research and development 
activities, planned clinical trials and administrative programs.

     The amounts and timing of operating expenditures will depend on the 
progress of ongoing research and development of the Company's potential 
products, as well as the activities of corporate collaborators and joint 
venture partners related to collaborative research and development activities, 
the FDA regulatory process and other factors, many of which are beyond the 
Company's control.
