1.   MANAGEMENT STATEMENT

     In the opinion of the Company's management, the accompanying unaudited
     condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments
     (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly
     the financial position as of June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 and the
     results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June
     30, 1998 and 1997.

     The results of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended
     June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
     for the full year.

2.   MARKETABLE SECURITIES

     The Company has classified its marketable securities as available for sale
     and, accordingly, carries such securities at aggregate fair value. At June

</TABLE>  


     At June 30, 1998, approximately $11,320,000 of investments in marketable
     securities had contractual maturities of one year or less. Realized gains
     and losses on sales of marketable securities were not material during the
     quarter ended June 30, 1998; the net unrealized loss of $40,497 is included
     in stockholders' equity.

3.   INVENTORY

     Inventories are carried at cost using the first-in, first-out method and
     are charged to research and development expense when consumed. Inventory
     consisted of bulk pharmaceutical material to be used for multiple
     preclinical and clinical drug development programs and amounted to
     $1,284,000 at June 30, 1998.

4.   NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Net loss per share amounts have been computed based on the weighted average
     number of shares outstanding during each period. Because of the net loss
     reported in each period, diluted and basic per share amounts are the same.

5.   HOECHST-ARIAD GENOMICS CENTER, LLC

     In March 1997, the Company entered into an agreement which established a
     50/50 joint venture with Hoechst Marion Roussel ("HMR") to pursue
     functional genomics with the goal of identifying genes that encode novel
     therapeutic proteins and small-molecule drug targets (the "1997 HMR
     Genomics Agreement"). The joint venture, named the Hoechst-ARIAD Genomics
     Center, LLC (the "Genomics Center"), is located at the Company's research
     facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Under the terms of the 1997 HMR
     Genomics Agreement, the Company and HMR agreed to commit $85,000,000 to the
     establishment of the Genomics Center and its first five years of operation.
     The Company and HMR agreed to jointly fund $78,500,000 of operating and
     related costs, and ARIAD agreed to invest up to $6,500,000 in leasehold
     improvements and equipment for use by ARIAD in conducting research on
     behalf of the Genomics Center. HMR committed to provide ARIAD with capital
     adequate to fund ARIAD's share of such costs through the purchase of up to
     $49,000,000 of ARIAD series B preferred stock over the five-year period,
     including an initial investment of $24,000,000, which was completed in
     March 1997. From the formation of the Genomics Center through June 30,
     1998, the Company invested $6,500,000 in leasehold improvements and
     equipment and funded $5,646,000 in operating and related costs. Should
     ARIAD and HMR determine that the Genomics Center requires funds in excess
     of those committed, ARIAD may fund its share of the excess through a loan
     facility made available by HMR. Funds borrowed by ARIAD pursuant to such
     loan facility, if any, will bear interest at the ninety (90) day LIBOR rate
     plus 0.25% and are repayable by 2003 in cash or series B preferred stock, 
     at the Company's option.

     The Company also entered into agreements with the Genomics Center to
     provide research and administrative services (the "Services Agreements") to
     the Genomics Center on a cost reimbursement basis. ARIAD's costs of
     providing the research and administrative services to the Genomics Center
     are charged to research and development expense and general and
     administrative expense in the consolidated financial statements. Under the
     Services Agreements, ARIAD bills the Genomics Center for 100% of its costs
     of providing the research and administrative services; however, because
     ARIAD is providing 50% of the funding of the Genomics Center, ARIAD
     recognizes as revenue only 50% of the billings to the Genomics Center. The
     remaining 50% is accounted for as a return of ARIAD's investment in the
     Genomics Center. Revenue recognized pursuant to the Services Agreements
     amounted to $1,998,000 and $378,000 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
     and June 30, 1997, respectively. The Genomics Center had total assets of
     $4,481,000 at June 30, 1998 and incurred a net loss of $2,203,000 and
     $4,114,000 for the three-months and six-months ended June 30, 1998,
     respectively.

6.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

     On May 11, 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 2,537,500
     shares of common stock to a group of institutional investors at a price of
     $4.00 per share and received net proceeds of approximately $9.2 million
     after deducting selling commissions and offering expenses. The shares were
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

7.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, Reporting
     Comprehensive Income, which requires businesses to disclose comprehensive
     income and its components in their general-purpose financial statements. In
     accordance with SFAS No. 130, the comprehensive loss for the second quarter
     of 1998 would include the net unrealized gain on marketable securities of
     $7,075 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, resulting in a comprehensive
     loss of $11,669,525.

     SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
     Information, which redefines how operating segments are determined and
     requires disclosure of certain financial and descriptive information about
     a company's operating segments, will be effective for the Company's
     financial statements for the year ending December 31, 1998. The Company has
     not yet completed its analysis of whether operating segment reporting will
     be required.

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

     OVERVIEW

     ARIAD Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company" or "ARIAD") is engaged in the
     discovery and development of novel, orally administered pharmaceuticals
     based on signal transduction technology. ARIAD's comprehensive and
     integrated drug-discovery platform spans from target identification and
     validation (functional genomics), to structure-based drug design and
     combinatorial chemistry, to medicinal chemistry and pharmacology. This
     "gene-to-drug" research and development capability forms the basis for
     multiple business opportunities, each with a diversity of potential
     products. ARIAD is currently focusing its drug discovery efforts on (i) the
     development of orally administered drugs to block signal transduction
     pathways that play a critical role in major diseases such as osteoporosis,
     immune-related diseases and allergy/asthma, and (ii) the development of
     orally active therapeutic proteins based on a system that controls signal
     transduction pathways in genetically engineered cells. These drug discovery
     efforts are based on validated small-molecule drug targets and known
     therapeutic proteins. ARIAD is further building its gene-to-drug research
     and development capability by expanding its functional genomics program.
     The Company employs functional genomics to identify new drug targets for
     its signal transduction inhibitor program and novel proteins for its orally
     active therapeutic protein program. In each area of drug discovery, as well
     as in functional genomics, the Company has entered into a significant
     strategic alliance with a collaborator to complement its gene and drug
     discovery technologies or to support its commercialization efforts.

     Since its inception in 1991, the Company has devoted substantially all of
     its resources to its research and development programs. The Company
     receives no revenue from the sale of pharmaceutical products and
     substantially all revenue to date has been received in connection with the
     Company's research collaborations. The Company has not been profitable
     since inception and expects to incur substantial and increasing operating
     losses for the foreseeable future, primarily due to the expansion of its
     research and development programs, including the services the Company
     provides to the Genomics Center pursuant to the Services Agreements, which
     services are accounted for on a cost reimbursement basis. The Company
     expects that losses will fluctuate from quarter to quarter and that such
     fluctuations may be substantial. As of June 30, 1998, the Company had an
     accumulated deficit of $78,133,000.

REVENUE

The Company recognized research revenue of $3,228,000 for the quarter ended June
30, 1998 compared to $2,489,000 for the same period in 1997. Research revenue in
1998 is comprised principally of research revenue from services provided to the
Genomics Center and the Company's 1995 collaborative research and development
agreement with HMR (the "1995 HMR Osteoporosis Agreement"). The increase in
research revenue of $739,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 compared to the
corresponding period in 1997 is a result of increased services provided to the
Genomics Center, which services commenced in the second quarter of 1997. 
Research revenue resulting from the Services Agreements with the Genomics Center
is expected to increase over the next two years, and research revenue recognized
under the 1995 HMR Osteoporosis Agreement is expected to remain substantially
equivalent in 1998.

Interest income decreased by $229,000 to $296,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 compared to $525,000 for the same period in 1997 primarily as a result of
lower levels of funds invested during the period.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and development expenses increased to $8,990,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $4,273,000 for the same period in 1997 due primarily
to research services provided to the Genomics Center under the Services
Agreements and increased expenses in the orally active protein therapy program,
including manufacturing development and other preclinical development costs. The
Company expects its research and development expenses to increase substantially
over the next two years as a result of research services to be provided to the
Genomics Center as well as increased manufacturing and preclinical development
costs associated with its drug candidates and, if such preclinical studies are
successful, the subsequent cost of human clinical trials.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $677,000 for the quarter ended
June 30, 1998 compared to $726,000 for the corresponding period in 1997
primarily due to the nonrecurrence in 1998 of administrative expenses related to
the formation of the Genomics Center in 1997.

The Company incurred interest expense of $128,000 for the quarter ended June 30,
1998 compared to $54,000 for the corresponding period in 1997. The increase
resulted from a higher level of long-term debt during the period.

OPERATING RESULTS

The Company incurred losses of $6,271,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 1998
and $2,039,000 for the corresponding period in 1997, or $.30 and $.11 per share,
respectively. The Company expects that substantial operating losses will
continue for several more years, will increase as its drug development
activities expand and increased research services are provided to the Genomics
Center and will fluctuate as a result of differences in the timing and
composition of revenue earned and expenses incurred.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 COMPARED WITH THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997

REVENUE

Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1998 were $6,683,000 compared to
$5,280,000 for the corresponding period in 1997. Research revenue earned in 1998
increased by $1,612,000 over 1997 as a result of increased research and
administrative services provided to the Genomics Center. Interest income for the
six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased by $209,000 over the corresponding
period in 1997 primarily as a result of a lower level of funds invested.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Research and development expenses increased to $16,726,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from $8,530,000 for the corresponding period in 1997,
primarily due to research services provided to the Genomics Center under the
Services Agreements and increased expenses incurred in the orally active protein
therapy program, including manufacturing development and other preclinical
development costs.

General and administrative expenses decreased to $1,376,000 for the six months
ended June 30, 1998 compared to $1,484,000 for the corresponding period in 1997,
primarily due to the nonrecurrence in 1998 of administrative expenses incurred
in connection with the formation of the Genomics Center in 1997.

The Company incurred interest expense of $258,000 for the six months ended June
30, 1998 compared to $112,000 for the corresponding period in 1997 as a result
of a higher level of long-term debt.

OPERATING RESULTS

The Company incurred losses of $11,677,000 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 and $4,845,000 for the corresponding period in 1997, or $.58 and $.25 per
share, respectively. The Company expects that substantial operating losses will
continue for several more years, will increase as its drug development
activities expand and increased research services are provided to the Genomics
Center and will fluctuate as a result of differences in the timing and
composition of revenue earned and expenses incurred.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company has financed its operations and investments in property and
equipment primarily through the private placement and public offering of its
securities, including the sale of series B preferred stock to HMR, supplemented
by the issuance of long-term debt, sale/leaseback and capital lease
transactions, interest income, government-sponsored research grants and research
revenue under the 1995 HMR Osteoporosis Agreement and the 1997 HMR Genomics
Agreement.

As of June 30, 1998, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities totaling $22,426,000, and working capital of $14,072,000 compared to
cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaling $29,359,000 and
working capital amounting to $16,539,000 at December 31, 1997.

The primary uses of cash during the six months ended June 30, 1998 were
$14,652,000 to finance the Company's operations and working capital
requirements, including an annual




                                        8
<PAGE>   11

payment of $3,000,000 for access to various genomics databases, $1,407,000 to
purchase laboratory equipment, $903,000 to repay long-term debt, $1,046,000 for
net investment in the Genomics Center and $371,000 to acquire intellectual
property. The primary sources of cash during the six months ended June 30, 1998
were $9,244,000 in net proceeds from the private placement of common stock,
$4,985,000 in advances from the Genomics Center, $2,000,000 of research funding
from the 1995 HMR Osteoporosis Agreement, $2,147,000 from the sale/leaseback of
laboratory equipment and $1,529,000 of net proceeds from the sale and maturity
of marketable securities.

On May 11 , 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 2,537,500 shares
of common stock to a group of institutional investors at a price of $4.00 per
share and received net proceeds of approximately $9.2 million after deducting
selling commissions and offering expenses. The shares were registered under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In March 1997, the Company entered into a 50/50 joint venture with HMR to pursue
functional genomics with the goal of identifying genes that encode novel
therapeutic proteins and small-molecule drug targets. The Company and HMR agreed
to commit up to $85,000,000 to the establishment of the Genomics Center and its
first five years of operation. The Company and HMR agreed to jointly fund
$78,500,000 of operating and related costs, and ARIAD agreed to fund up to
$6,500,000 in leasehold improvements and equipment for use by ARIAD in
conducting research on behalf of the Genomics Center. HMR committed to provide
ARIAD with capital adequate to fund ARIAD's share of such costs through the
purchase of up to $49,000,000 of series B preferred stock over the five-year
period, including an initial investment of $24,000,000. From the formation of
the Genomics Center through June 30, 1998, the Company invested $6,500,000 in
leasehold improvements and equipment and funded $5,646,000 in operating and
related costs.

Pursuant to the 1997 HMR Genomics Agreement, on March 18, 1997, HMR purchased
2,526,316 shares of the Company's series B preferred stock for $24,000,000.
During the period from 1999 to 2002, to fund its commitment to the Genomics
Center, the Company may, at its option, require HMR to make additional purchases
of up to $25,000,000 of series B preferred stock at purchase prices based on a
premium to the market price of the common stock at the time of each subsequent
purchase (unless the market price of the common stock exceeds a predetermined
ceiling, in which case the purchase price will be equal to the market price).
Should ARIAD and HMR determine that the Genomics Center requires funds in excess
of those committed, ARIAD may fund its share of the excess through a loan
facility made available by HMR. Funds borrowed by ARIAD pursuant to such loan
facility, if any, will bear interest at the ninety (90) day LIBOR rate plus
0.25% and are repayable by 2003 in cash or series B preferred stock, at the
Company's option.

The Company will require substantial additional funding for its research and
product development programs, for operating expenses, for the pursuit of
regulatory clearances and for building manufacturing, sales and marketing
capabilities. Adequate funds for these purposes, whether obtained through
financial markets or collaborative or other arrangements with corporate
partners, or from other sources, may not be available when needed or on terms
acceptable to the Company.

The Company believes that its available cash and existing sources of funding
will be adequate to satisfy its capital and operating requirements for the next
nine months. However, there can be no assurance that changes in the Company's
research and development plans or other events affecting the Company's operating
expenses will not result in the Company depleting its funds earlier.
