                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                June 30, 1998 (unaudited) and December 31, 1997


1.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     Basis of Presentation

     The information contained herein has been prepared in accordance 
with instructions for Form 10-Q.  In the opinion of management of ICOS 
Corporation ("ICOS" or the "Company"), the information reflects all 
adjustments necessary to make the results of operations for the interim 
periods a fair statement of such operations.  All such adjustments are 
of a normal recurring nature.  Interim results are not necessarily 
indicative of results for a full year.  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 Pafase(tm).  
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.  
Suncos was funded initially with a $30 million investment from Suntory 
Limited of Japan ("Suntory").  Once the initial $30 million has been 
exhausted, ICOS and Suntory have each agreed to make a $10 million 
investment in Suncos to provide funds for continued development of 
Pafase(tm).

     For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, the 
Company recognized research and development cost reimbursement revenue 
under this arrangement of $3.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively.  
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1997, the Company 
recognized research and development cost reimbursement revenue under 
this arrangement of $3.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively.

     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:  LeukArrest(tm), Pafase(tm) and ICM3.

     For the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998, the

reimbursement revenue from the Partnership of $3.2 million.  In addition, 
the Company received a one-time payment in the first quarter 
of 1997 for the license of technology to the Partnership.

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 products for the treatment of inflammatory diseases and 
other serious medical conditions.  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 clinical conditions including 
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, 
hemorrhagic shock and myocardial infarction.  In addition, the Company's 
programs have yielded additional approaches that may be useful in 
treating cardiovascular diseases, erectile dysfunction 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.

     LeukArrest(tm), a humanized monoclonal antibody, was formerly 
called Hu23F2G.  Pafase(tm), the recombinant form of a human enzyme, was 
formerly called rPAF-AH.

     Financial results for the second quarter and first half of 1998 
reflect planned increases in operating expenses necessary for advancing 
multiple therapeutic product candidates through the 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 June 30, 1998 of $140.1 
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 June 30, 1998 totaled $6.8 million 
and consisted of (i) $3.3 million in cost reimbursement revenue from 
ICOS Clinical Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership"), (ii) $3.0 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 ("Abbott").  Revenue for the quarter 
ended June 30, 1997 totaled $15.3 million, and consisted of (i) $3.2 
million in cost reimbursement revenue from the Partnership, (ii) a one-
time payment of $8.5 for the license of technology to the Partnership, 
(iii) $3.1 million in cost reimbursement revenue from Suncos, and 
(iv) $0.5 million received under the Company's agreement with Abbott. 

     Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 totaled $13.4 
million and consisted of (i) $7.0 million in cost reimbursement revenue 
from the Partnership, (ii) $5.4 million in cost reimbursement revenue 
from Suncos, and (iii) $1.0 million received under the Company's 
agreement with Abbott.  Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1997 
totaled $17.6 million, and consisted of (i) $3.2 million in cost 
reimbursement revenue from the Partnership, (ii) a one-time payment of 
$8.5 for the license of technology to the Partnership, (iii) $4.9 
million in cost reimbursement revenue from Suncos, and (iv) $1.0 million 
received under the Company's agreement with Abbott.

Operating Expenses

     Total operating expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 
increased to $16.7 million from $10.4 million for the quarter ended June 
30, 1997.  Total operating expenses for the first half of 1998 increased 
to $32.0 million from $20.3 million for the first half of 1997. 

     Research and development expenses for the second quarter of 1998 
increased to $15.9 million from $9.8 million for the second quarter of 
1997.  Research and development expenses for the first half of 1998 
increased to $30.3 million from $19.0 million for the first half of 
1997.  The increase in research and development expenses for both the 
second quarter and first half of 1998 was due primarily to costs 
associated with the progression of clinical trials for LeukArrest(tm), 
Pafase(tm), ICM3 and IC351, and the expansion of other product development
efforts.  

     General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 1998 
increased to $0.9 million from $0.5 million in the second quarter of 
1997. General and administrative expenses for the first half of 1998 
increased to $1.7 million from $1.3 million for the first half of 1997.
General and administrative expense for the second quarter of 1997 was 
reduced by $0.2 million due to the recovery of certain organizational 
costs related to the formation of the Partnership.

Other Income and Expense

     Other income primarily represents investment income earned on the 
Company's investment securities and interest income on the Company's 
loan to the Partnership.  Investment income for the second quarter of 
1998 totaled $0.2 million compared to $0.4 million for the second 
quarter of 1997.  Investment income for the first half of 1998 totaled 
$0.6 million compared to $1.0 million for the first half of  1997.  The 
decrease in investment income for both the second quarter and first half 
of 1998 was due primarily to lower average cash and investment balances 
during the second quarter and first six months of 1998 compared to the 
same periods of 1997.  Interest income on the loan to the Partnership 
totaled $0.2 million for the second quarter of 1998 and $0.3 million for
the first half of 1998.

Net Income (Loss)

     For the quarter ended June 30, 1998, the Company recognized a net 
loss of $9.5 million or $0.24 per diluted share compared to net income 
of $5.4 million or $0.13 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 
30, 1997.  For the first half of 1998, the Company recognized a net loss
of $17.7 million or $0.44 per diluted share compared to a net loss of 
$1.7 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the first half of 1997.  The
increase in net loss for both the second quarter and first half of 1998
was due primarily to costs associated with the progression of clinical
trials for LeukArrest(tm), Pafase(tm) and ICM3 and IC351, the expansion of 
other product development efforts and the recognition of $8.5 million as

Form 10-Q                                                       Page 10

<PAGE>

a one-time fee for the license of technology to the Partnership in the 
second quarter of 1997.  Excluding the one-time payment from the 
Partnership, the Company would have recognized a net loss of $3.1 
million or $0.08 per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 1997 
and a net loss of $10.2 million or $0.26 per diluted share for the six 
months ended June 30, 1997. 

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 June 30, 1998, the Company had $14.6 million in cash and cash 
equivalents, investment securities, and interest receivable, a decrease
of $11.2 million from December 31, 1997.  This decrease is primarily 
attributable to increased costs associated with conducting clinical 
trials for LeukArrest(tm), Pafase (tm), 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.  

     For the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company spent $3.1 
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.

     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:  LeukArrest(tm); Pafase(tm);
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.  The 
Partnership received $25.9 million, before payment of offering costs, on
closing and the balance will be paid in installments over a three-year 
period of which the first installment totaling $21.9 million was 
received in the second quarter of 1998.  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.  These 
warrants are exercisable beginning October 1, 1998.  The Company has 
agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to establish and 
maintain an effective shelf registration statement for resales of the 
shares to be issued pursuant to the exercise of these warrants.  In 
addition, the Company is obligated, subject to certain conditions, to issue
in June, 1999 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 annually on June 1, and 
the principal balance of the loan is payable  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, 
equipment and facilities associated with advancing its product 
candidates including LeukArrest(tm), Pafase(tm), ICM3 and IC351 through 
development and clinical trials.  The Company also plans to continue 
preclinical research and development activities for additional potential
product candidates and  initiate clinical trials for those product 
candidates deemed most promising.  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.  In addition, the Company will 
incur costs and make capital contributions under its joint venture 
agreement with Suntory related to the development of Pafase(tm).  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 will also
incur costs associated with the development of LeukArrest(tm), Pafase(tm)
and ICM3, pursuant to the terms of the Partnership Development Agreement.  
The Partnership has agreed to reimburse the Company for certain of these
costs.

     The Company anticipates that its existing cash, including interest
income from cash investments and payments from Abbott, 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 over the next several years to conduct its
research and development activities, preclinical studies and clinical 
trials necessary to bring its product candidates to market and to 
establish sales and marketing capabilities if and when a product 
candidate is ready for commercialization.  

     The Company is currently evaluating several public and private 
financing alternatives, some of which would involve the sale of 
additional stock, the issuance of debt and/or entering into additional 
corporate partnerships.  The Company anticipates completion of one or 
more of these financing events prior to the end of 1998.  In addition, 
the exercise of warrants, issued to Limited Partners in conjunction with 
the Limited Partnership financing, which become exercisable in October 
1998, may provide additional capital to the Company.  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 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 funds from such sources will be available to the Company 
in the future.

     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.
