     There were no marketable securities at December 31, 1999.  All of the
     Company's marketable securities are classified as current at June 30, 2000
     as these funds are highly liquid and are available to meet working capital
     needs and to fund current operations.  Gross realized gains and losses on
     sales of marketable securities for the three and six month periods ended
     June 30, 1999 and 2000 were not significant.

     Marketable securities which were purchased and sold in periods prior to
     adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 on
     January 1, 1994, other than held-to-maturity marketable securities, are
     included in the category available-for-sale marketable securities in the
     "period from inception" column of the statement of cash flows.

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

Results of Operations

Overview

Since its inception through June 30, 2000, the Company has incurred ongoing
losses from operations and has cumulative losses as of June 30, 2000 totaling
$108,114,000. To date, the Company has not recorded any revenues from the sale
of products. Revenues recorded through June 30, 2000 were earned in connection
with the sale of certain patent rights, granting of certain short-term rights
and contract research.

The Company expects to remain in the development stage for the foreseeable
future and accordingly, may continue to incur losses.

The sections of "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations" captioned "Overview" and "Liquidity and Capital
Resources" contain forward-looking statements which involve risks and
uncertainties. What may occur in the future could differ significantly from what
is discussed in the forward-looking statements due to a number of important
factors, including, but not limited to, the developmental stage of the Company's
products and uncertainties of clinical trial results and regulatory approval;
the Company's capital requirements, history of operating losses and lack of
product revenue and its limited manufacturing and marketing experience; and the
risks of technological change and competition. These factors are more fully
discussed in the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission in the section captioned "Business - Factors
to be Considered". The discussion in the Annual Report on Form 10-K is hereby
incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report.

Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 1999 and 2000

There was no revenue for the three month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 or
the six month period ended June 30, 1999.  Revenue was $4,000,000 for the six
month period ended June 30, 2000.  This amount represents the initial payment by
a subsidiary of Elan Plc for the purchase of certain patent rights related to
Alzheimer's disease.

Research and development expenses were $2,663,000 and $158,000 for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  Research and
development expenses were $5,837,000 and $503,000 for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The decrease is due to the
cessation of Colloral(R) clinical trials and the elimination of research and
development expenses except contract research support for The Brigham and
Women's Hospital and costs associated with maintaining the Company's patent
portfolio.

General and administrative expenses were $444,000 and $176,000 for the three
month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  General and
administrative expenses were $935,000 and $432,000 for the six month periods
ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The decrease in general and
administrative expenses is due to the reduction of personnel costs.

Net interest income was $132,000 and $154,000 for the three month periods ended
June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.  The increase is due to a  higher interest
rate earned during the current period.  Net interest income was $340,000 and
$287,000 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
The decrease is due to a lower balance of cash available for investment.

The net loss was $2,975,000 and $180,000 for the three month periods ended June
30, 1999 and 2000, respectively. The change reflects the cessation of
Colloral(R) clinical trials and the elimination of operating expenses except
contract research support for The Brigham and Women's Hospital and costs
associated with maintaining the Company's patent portfolio and corporate
structure. The net loss was $6,432,000 for

                                AUTOIMMUNE INC.

the six month period ended June 30, 1999 and net income was $3,352,000 for the
six month period ended June 30, 2000. The change reflects the revenue generated
in 2000 and the reduction of operating expenses. The net loss per share was
$0.18 and $0.01 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000, respectively.
The net loss per share was $0.39 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and net
income per share was $0.20 for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

In September 1999, the Company announced disappointing results from the phase
III trial of Colloral, its product for rheumatoid arthritis. Very soon
thereafter, the Company began a corporate downsizing which was completed by year
end and resulted in the elimination of all full time employees. Two former
employees, the President and Director of Finance, signed consulting agreements
with the Company to provide corporate business development and reporting
services on an as needed basis in the future.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's needs for funds have historically fluctuated from period to
period as it has increased or decreased the scope of its research and
development activities. Since inception, the Company has funded these needs
almost entirely through sales of its equity securities.

The Company's working capital and capital requirements will depend on numerous
factors, including the strategic direction that the Company and its shareholders
choose, the level of resources that the Company devotes to the development of
its products, the extent to which it proceeds by means of collaborative
relationships and its competitive environment. The Company believes that current
cash and marketable securities, and the interest earned from the investment
thereof, will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating expenses and capital
requirements for at least five years. At the appropriate time, the Company may
intend to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt
financing, collaborative arrangements or from other sources. If additional funds
are necessary but not available, the Company will have to modify its business
strategy, and its business will be materially adversely affected.

In order to preserve principal and maintain liquidity, the Company's funds are
invested in U.S. Treasury obligations and other short-term instruments. As of
June 30, 2000, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled $10,122,000. Current liabilities at June 30, 2000 were $170,000.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company invests all of its cash in U.S. Treasury obligations and money
market instruments. These investments are denominated in U.S. dollars. Due to
the conservative nature of these instruments, the Company does not believe that
it has material exposure to interest rate or market risk.
