              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (unaudited)

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 the 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 condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K.

    Principles of Consolidation

    The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany
transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Reclassifications

    Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to
the presentation of current year amounts.


2.  Research and Development Arrangements
    -------------------------------------

    Abbott Laboratories

    In April 1995, the Company entered into a collaborative agreement with
Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott"). The collaboration focused on the development of
small molecules that modulate, by intracellular interaction, the activity of
certain cell adhesion molecules and also provided the Company with a library of
chemical compounds for use in its own discovery programs. Under the
collaboration, the Company had rights to market cancer products in the U.S. and
would receive a royalty on all non-cancer products in the U.S. and all products
outside the U.S. In June 2000, the Company renegotiated the agreement with
Abbott and acquired the remaining rights from Abbott for all technology and
compounds in the field of LFA-1 antagonism. Under the terms of the revised
agreement, Abbott will receive milestone payments upon the occurrence of certain
events and royalties on any marketed products.
Form 10-Q                                                            Page 4

  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.  For the quarter and six
months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized cost reimbursement revenue
under this arrangement of $3.4 million and $6.1 million, respectively.  For the
quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recognized cost
reimbursement revenue under this arrangement of $6.3 million and $11.1 million,
respectively.

  For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized
$1.7 million and $3.2 million of expense, respectively, representing its
proportionate share of Suncos' net losses.  For the quarter and six months ended
June 30, 1999, the Company recognized $3.2 million and $4.7 million of expense,
respectively, representing its proportionate share of Suncos' net losses.

  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
("partnership units"). Proceeds from the offering are dedicated to fund the
Company's development of product candidates based on three compounds--
LeukArrest(TM), Pafase(TM) and ICM3--pursuant to the terms of a Product
Development Agreement. In April 2000, the Company elected to forgo further study
of LeukArrest(TM) as the results of an interim efficacy analysis failed to meet
the Company's predefined criteria for success. For the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized cost reimbursement revenue from the
Partnership of $2.0 million and $5.5 million, respectively. For the quarter and
six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recognized cost reimbursement
revenue from the Partnership of $3.9 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

  In connection with the Partnership's 1997 sale of limited partnership units,
the Company issued Series A warrants to purchase 5.6 million and 2.0 million
shares of the Company's common stock at exercise prices of $9.13 and $10.35 per
share, respectively.  The Series A warrants are exercisable through May 31,
2002.  In June 1999, the Company issued Series B warrants to purchase 7.6
million shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $52.49 per
share.  The Series B warrants issued are exercisable through June 30, 2004.
During the six months ended June 30, 2000, warrants to purchase 594,900 shares
were exercised at a weighted-average exercise price of $9.46 per share resulting
in total proceeds to the Company of $5.6 million.  At June 30, 2000, warrants to
purchase approximately 10.8 million shares remain outstanding at an average
exercise price of $39.57 per share.

Form 10-Q                                                               Page 5

  Lilly ICOS, LLC

  The Company owns a 50% interest in Lilly ICOS LLC ("Lilly ICOS"), a limited
liability company.  Lilly ICOS was formed by the Company and Eli Lilly and
Company ("Lilly") to jointly develop and globally commercialize
phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5) as oral therapeutic agents for the
treatment of both male erectile dysfunction and female sexual dysfunction.  For
the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recognized cost
reimbursement revenue under this arrangement of $5.0 million and $8.6 million,
respectively.  For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, the Company
recognized cost reimbursement revenue under this arrangement of  $5.8 million
and $11.5 million, respectively.

  The joint venture has been capitalized by cash contributions from Lilly and
the Company's contribution of intellectual property associated with IC351.  The
intellectual property contributed to Lilly ICOS by the Company had no basis for
financial reporting purposes and, accordingly, the Company has recorded its
investment in Lilly ICOS at zero.  The Company will not report its proportionate
share of Lilly ICOS' results of operations until such time, if ever, that the
Company makes capital contributions to Lilly ICOS.

  ICOS - Texas Biotechnology L. P.

  On June 6, 2000, the Company and Texas Biotechnology Corporation ("Texas
Biotech") formed the joint venture ICOS-Texas Biotechnology L.P. ("ICOS-TBC"),
for the purpose of developing and commercializing endothelin-A receptor
antagonists.  The initial focus of the joint venture will be to initiate a Phase
2b/3 pulmonary hypertension trial for sitaxsentan (a selective endothelin-A
receptor antagonist) and explore applications for second generation endothelin
antagonists.

  Under the terms of the limited partnership joint venture agreement, ICOS and
Texas Biotech agreed to equally fund the development of sitaxsentan and other
endothelin receptor antagonists and share equally in the profits of the joint
venture.  In June 2000, the Company made an initial $2.0 million capital
contribution to the joint venture and may make future milestone payments of up
to $53.5 million to ICOS-TBC for the development and commercialization of
products resulting from the collaboration.  In accordance with the joint venture
agreement, the Company's initial capital contribution and future milestone
payments will be distributed by the joint venture to Texas Biotech.

  For both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company
recognized $0.1 million in revenue under a related research and development
agreement.  During the same periods, the Company also recognized $2.3 million of
expense representing its proportionate share of ICOS-TBC net loss since
inception.

4.  Net Loss Per Common Share
    -------------------------

    Net loss per common share is based on the weighted-average number of common
shares outstanding during the period.  For the quarter and six months ended June
30, 2000, options to acquire 8.1 million shares of common stock and warrants to
acquire 10.8 million shares of common stock have been excluded from the
computation of net loss per common share because their impact would be
antidilutive. For quarter and six months ended June 30, 1999, options to acquire
8.6 million shares of common stock and warrants to acquire 11.7 million shares
of common stock have been excluded from the computation of net loss per common
share because their impact would be antidilutive.

5.  Financing
    ---------

    The Company anticipates that its existing cash, along with interest
income from cash investments, anticipated payments from affiliates, and cash
flow from other operating activities, will be sufficient to fund its cash
requirements through the first quarter of 2001.  However, the amounts and timing
of expenditures will depend on the progress of ongoing research and development,
the rate at which operating losses are incurred, the execution of development
and licensing agreements with potential corporate partners, the Company's
development of products, the Food and Drug Administration's regulatory process,
and other factors, many of which are beyond the Company's control.  The
Company's existing capital resources and collaborative arrangements will not be
sufficient to fund the Company's operations through commercialization of its
first product.  Accordingly, the Company will need to raise substantial
additional funds for its programs.  The Company is currently evaluating
financing alternatives, some that may involve the sale of additional equity,
commencement of additional corporate partnerships and other methods of raising
capital from public, private, and corporate sources.  The Company anticipates
completion of one or more of these financing events before the end of the first
quarter of 2001.

6.  Operating Segments
    ---------------------

     The Company's operations are confined to one operating segment, the
discovery and development of proprietary pharmaceuticals for the treatment of
serious medical conditions.

7.  New Accounting Pronouncements
    -------------------------------

    In June 2000, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101B ("SAB
101B").  SAB 101B delays the effective date of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101
("SAB 101") "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements," to no later than the
fourth quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1999.  SAB 101
provides guidance on revenue recognition and the SEC staff's views on the
application of accounting principles to selected revenue recognition issues.
The interpretation of SAB No. 101 is currently uncertain as it relates to
biotechnology companies and, consequently, the impact on the Company's financial
statements is unknown.  The Company is in the process of determining the
potential impact of the new pronouncement.

    In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock
Compensation." Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the application of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 ("APB 25") and is effective July 1, 2000.
Interpretation No. 44 clarifies the definition of "employee" for purposes of
applying APB 25, the criteria for determining whether a plan qualifies as a
noncompensatory plan, the accounting consequence of various modifications to the
terms of a previously fixed stock option or award, and the accounting for an
exchange of stock compensation awards in a business combination.  The Company
does not expect the adoption of Interpretation No. 44 will have a material
impact on its consolidated financial statements.

  In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 133 is
effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000.  SFAS No. 133 requires
that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at their fair
value.  Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each period in
current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction.  The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 133
will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements because the
Company does not currently hold any derivative instruments.

Overview
--------

    The Company is discovering and developing proprietary pharmaceuticals for
the treatment of serious medical conditions.

  The Company's fundamental strategy is to identify and develop a significant
number of potential product candidates into breakthrough products with high
commercial potential.  By understanding the underlying biochemical and
physiological mechanisms and identifying the cellular and molecular entities
involved in the disease process, the Company is developing product candidates
that address important opportunities in the treatment of chronic and acute
diseases that have inflammatory components as well as certain cardiovascular
diseases and cancer.  Through this strategy, the Company believes it will be
able to develop novel therapeutics that are more selective than those presently
available.

Results of Operations
---------------------

    Revenue for the second quarter of 2000 was $10.5 million compared to $16.0
million during the second quarter of 1999.  Current period revenue included cost
reimbursement of $3.4 million from Suncos Corporation ("Suncos"),  $2.0 million
from ICOS Clinical Partners L.P. (the "Partnership"), $5.0 million from Lilly
ICOS LLC ("Lilly ICOS") and $0.1 million from ICOS-Texas Biotechnology L.P.
("ICOS-TBC").  Revenue for the second quarter of 1999 consisted of cost
reimbursement of $6.3 million from Suncos, $3.9 million from the Partnership and
$5.8 million from Lilly ICOS.

Form 10-Q                                                               Page 9
<PAGE>

    Revenue for the first six months of 2000 was $20.2 million and consisted
primarily of cost reimbursement of $6.1 million from Suncos, $5.5 million from
the Partnership, $8.6 million from Lilly ICOS and $0.1 million from ICOS-TBC.
Revenue for the first six months of 1999 was $32.2 million and consisted of cost
reimbursement of $11.1 million from Suncos, $9.1 million from the Partnership,
$11.5 million from Lilly ICOS and $0.5 million received under the Company's
research and development agreement with Abbott Laboratories ("Abbott").

    The decline in revenue, both on a quarter and year-to-date basis, reflects a
reduction in reimbursable clinical trial and development activities during 2000
as compared to the same periods of the prior year.

    Total operating expenses were $25.3 million during the second quarter of
2000 compared to $27.8 million in the same period of 1999. Total operating
expenses were $47.0 million for the first six months of 2000 compared to $50.9
million in the comparable 1999 period.

    Research and development expenses totaled $23.7 million during the second
quarter of 2000 compared to $26.6 million in the second quarter of 1999.
Research and development expenses for the first six months of 2000 were $43.9
million compared to $48.9 million for the first six months of 1999. The decline
in research and development expenses, on both a quarter and year-to-date basis,
was due primarily to the discontinuation of further clinical activity associated
with LeukArrest(TM) as well as the completion of a Pafase(TM) ERCP study that
was ongoing during the first half of 1999. Current quarter and year-to-date
expenses also reflect costs related to the acquisition of additional technology
rights and LFA-1 compounds from Abbott.

    General and administrative expenses for the second quarter of 2000 were $1.6
million compared to $1.2 million in the same period of 1999. General and
administrative expenses for the first six months of 2000 were $3.1 million
compared to $2.0 million in the same period of 1999. The increase in general and
administrative expenses reflects certain management transition costs incurred
during the first six months of the current year.

   During the second quarter of 2000, the Company recognized $4.0 million in
losses related to its equity affiliates as compared to $3.3 million in losses
during the second quarter of 1999.  On a year-to-date basis, losses related to
equity affiliates totaled $5.5 million during the first six months of 2000 as
compared to $4.8 million during the same period of the prior year.  Equity
interests in affiliate net losses primarily relate to the continued progression
of the Company's clinical trial activity associated with Pafase(TM).  Current
year results also reflect the Company's share of losses related to the start-up
activities of ICOS-TBC.

    Investment income for the second quarter of 2000 totaled  $1.1 million
compared to $0.9 million for the second quarter of 1999.  Investment income for
the first six months of 2000 totaled $2.3 million compared to $2.0 million for
the same period of the prior year.  The increase in investment income on both a
quarter and year-to-date basis reflects higher returns on investments in the
current year as a result of higher yields on invested securities.

Form 10-Q                                                               Page 10
<PAGE>

    As a result of the above, the Company reported a net loss of $17.4 million,
or $0.38 per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2000, compared to a
net loss of $14.0 million, or $0.32 per share, for the same period in 1999.  For
the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company reported a net loss of $29.3
million, or $0.64 per share, compared to a net loss of $21.1 million, or $0.50
per share for the comparable period in 1999.

    The Company's results of operations may vary significantly from period to
period and will depend, among other factors, on the timing of certain expenses,
payments received on certain research collaborations, and the progress of the
Company's research and development efforts.  The Company may experience
significant fluctuations in cost reimbursement revenue from one period to the
next.  Due to the nature of the Company's collaborative agreements, cost
reimbursement revenue is largely dependent upon the continued progression of
clinical trial and development activities.

    The Company's operating expenses may increase during 2000 and subsequent
years as it adds the personnel and facilities associated with advancing
potential product candidates through development and clinical trials and
prepares for the commercial launch of its potential products.  Foreseeable
incremental expenses may include, but are not limited to, those associated with
the Company's own pre-marketing activities, 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 agreements with Suntory, Lilly and Texas Biotechnology related to the
development of Pafase(TM), IC351 and sitaxsentan, respectively.  Some of these
expenses are to be reimbursed by affiliates and are recognized as revenue from
collaborative research and development from related parties in the Company's
condensed consolidated statements of operations.  In addition, the clinical and
development activities of the Company's affiliates are not entirely within the
Company's control.  Significant changes in affiliate activities could be cause
for fluctuations in the Company's share of affiliate losses from period to
period.

Liquidity & Capital Resources
-----------------------------

    At June 30, 2000, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, investment
securities, and interest receivable of $59.0 million compared to $69.3 million
at December 31, 1999.

    The Company used $28.4 million in cash for operating activities during the
first half of 2000 compared to $19.6 million in the same period of 1999. The
primary operating uses of cash in both periods relate to the Company's clinical
trial activities associated with IC351, Pafase(TM) and LeukArrest(TM) as well as
the expansion of other product development efforts. In April 2000, the Company
elected to forgo further study of LeukArrest(TM) as the results of an interim
efficacy analysis failed to meet the Company's predefined criteria for success.
Current year cash outflows also reflect costs related to the acquisition of
technology rights and LFA-1 compounds from Abbott.

Form 10-Q                                                                Page 11
<PAGE>

    For the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company generated $23.5 million
in cash from investing activities compared to using $47.9 million in cash during
the same period of the prior year.  Significant cash inflows from investing
activities during the first half of 2000 included a $20.2 million net decrease
in the Company's short-term investment portfolio and $7.3 million received upon
the repayment of a loan to the Partnership.  Significant cash outflows during
the current year included a capital contribution of $2.0 million upon the
formation of ICOS-TBC and $1.8 million invested in capital equipment and
leasehold improvements to support the Company's research and development
activity.  The primary investing uses of cash during the first six months of
1999 included a $34.5 million net increase in the Company's short-term
investment portfolio, $10.2 million in equity investments in affiliates and
$3.2 million invested in property, plant and equipment.

    The Company generated $15.1 million in cash from financing activities
during the first half of 2000 compared to $23.0 million in the same period of
1999.  The primary cash inflows in both periods relate to proceeds received from
the exercise of stock options and warrants.

    The Company's future cash requirements depend on many factors including
continued scientific progress in its research and development programs, the
results of clinical trials and preclinical studies, acquisitions of products or
technology, if any, relationships with corporate collaborators, competing
technological and market developments, the time and costs involved in filing and
prosecuting patents and enforcing patent claims, the regulatory process, the
time and costs of manufacturing scale-up and commercialization activities and
other factors. The amounts and timing of expenditures will depend on the
progress of ongoing research and development, the rate at which operating losses
are incurred, the execution of development and licensing agreements with
potential corporate partners, the Company's development of products, the Food
and Drug Administration regulatory process, and other factors, many of which are
beyond the Company's control.

    The Company has successfully negotiated 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, partnerships
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.

Form 10-Q                                                                Page 12
<PAGE>

    The Company anticipates that its existing cash, along with interest income
from cash investments, anticipated payments from affiliates, and cash flow from
other operating activities, will be sufficient to fund its cash requirements
through the first quarter of 2001.  The Company intends to expand its operations
and hire the additional personnel necessary to continue development of its
current portfolio of product candidates in clinical trials, as well as continue
discovery and preclinical research to identify additional potential drug
candidates.  The Company anticipates that expansion of these activities will
increase operating expenses in future years.  Further, incremental expenditures
will be required for additional laboratory, production, and office facilities to
accommodate activities and the personnel associated with this increased
development effort.  The Company will need to raise additional funds in order to
continue to conduct the research and development activities, preclinical
studies, clinical trials and pre-marketing activities necessary to bring its
product candidates to market and to establish marketing capabilities if and when
a product candidate is ready for commercialization.  The Company is currently
evaluating financing alternatives, some of which may involve the sale of
additional equity, commencement of additional corporate partnerships and other
methods of raising capital from public, private, and corporate sources.  The
Company anticipates completion of one or more of these financing events before
the end of the first quarter of 2001.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

    The Company's financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents,
short-term investments, accounts payable and an equity interest in an affiliate.
The Company does not use derivative financial instruments in its investment
portfolio. The Company's exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates
relates primarily to its short-term investments, thus, fluctuations in interest
rates would not have a material impact on the fair value of these securities.

     ITEM 5:      Other Information

          Pursuant to Rule 14a-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
