     statement of revenues, direct expenses and identified 
     corporate expenses before interest and taxes for the 
     three months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are 
     attached hereto and filed herewith.

(b) Pro Forma Financial Information.  

     The attached unaudited pro forma condensed combining 
     statement of revenues, direct expenses and identified 
     corporate expenses before interest and taxes for the 
     year ended December 31, 1997 and for the nine months 
     ended September 30, 1998 give effect to the purchase of 
     IMTIX as of the beginning of the periods presented.

     The pro forma condensed combining financial information 
     is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not 
     necessarily indicative of the operating results  that 
     would have occurred had the acquisition been 
     consummated at the beginning of the periods presented, 
     nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating 
     results.

     The pro forma condensed combining financial information 
     should be read in conjunction with the audited 
     historical consolidated financial statements and the 
     related notes thereto of SangStat Medical Corporation 
     (the "Company") previously filed and the historical 
     financial statements and related notes thereto of IMTIX 
     included herein.

     The following financial statements are attached hereto 
     and filed herewith:

     -       Audited statements of net assets and of revenues, 
             direct expenses and identified corporate expenses 
             before interest and taxes of IMTIX as of June 30, 
             1998 and for the year ended June 30, 1998.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


Pasteur Merieux Connaught:

We have audited the statement of net assets of IMTIX, a line of business 
owned by Pasteur Merieux Connaught ("PMC"), as of June 30, 1998 and the 
related statement of revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate 
expenses before interest and taxes for the year then ended.  These 
financial statements are the responsibility of PMC's management.  Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements 
based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are 
free of material misstatements.  An audit includes examining, on a test 
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles 
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating 
the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit 
provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material 
respects, the net assets of IMTIX as of June 30, 1998 and the results of 
its revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before 
interest and taxes for the year then ended in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, IMTIX was a line of 
business of PMC until its acquisition by SangStat Medical Corporation on 
September 30, 1998.  IMTIX received managerial and administrative support 
from PMC.  In addition, the cost of goods sold by IMTIX included indirect 
manufacturing costs apportioned to the various divisions of PMC using 
internal allocation criteria.  As a result, IMTIX's net assets and the 
results of its revenues, direct expenses and identified corporate 
expenses before interest and taxes may not be indicative of conditions 
that would have existed or results that would have occurred had IMTIX 
operated as an unaffiliated entity.

                     NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1998


1. ORGANIZATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization - The IMTIX business ("IMTIX" or the "Business"), a 
line of business owned by Pasteur Merieux Connaught ("PMC"), a 
subsidiary of Rhone-Poulenc Pharma, S.A. is dedicated to the research, 
development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals and 
biologics for organ transplantation.  The Business includes 
manufacturing, research, regulatory and administrative personnel at 
its manufacturing facility in Lyon, France as well as certain sales, 
marketing, regulatory, clinical and administrative personnel at the 
Business' headquarters in Lyon, France and its four subsidiaries 
located in the U.K., Italy, Germany and the Netherlands.  Most of the 
customers of the Business are hospitals and distributors. 

Basis of Presentation - The Business is not a "stand-alone" division 
or subsidiary of PMC and was not generally accounted for separately.  
As a result, the distinct and separate accounts necessary to present 
individual balance sheets and income statements of the Business as of 
June 30, 1998 and for the year then ended have not been maintained.

The Business does not maintain stand-alone accounting, corporate 
treasury, legal, tax and other similar corporate support functions.  
For purposes of preparing the financial statements, certain corporate 
costs with other PMC expenses were allocated to the Business by PMC 
using PMC's established internal allocation methods (see below).  
However, PMC's systems and procedures do not provide sufficient 
information to develop a reasonable cost allocation for all such 
expenses.

Cash flows, purchases of inventory, payroll, capital and other 
expenditures are funded by PMC.  Sales are billed and collected by 
PMC.  Accordingly, the Business maintains only a minimal cash balance.  
For purposes of reporting the June 30, 1998 balance sheet, the 
accounts payable and accounts receivable represent the identified 
amounts within PMC's accounts payable and accounts receivable balances 
that were directly related to the Business.

FINANCIAL STATEMENT PRESENTATION - Due to the limitations noted above, 
the following financial information is presented:

  -     Statement of Net Assets.  These statements 
        include only the net assets of the Business being purchased by 
        SangStat Medical Corporation.

  -     Statements of Revenues, Direct Expenses and Identified Corporate 
        Expenses before Interest and Taxes, including all corporate 
        cost allocations for which a reasonable method of allocating 
        the costs to the operations can be developed.

Statements of Cash Flows are not presented as the Business has 
essentially no cash flows as such transactions are managed by PMC.

CORPORATE ALLOCATIONS - The Business does not maintain stand-alone 
accounting, corporate treasury, legal, tax and other similar corporate 
support functions.  The Business does record certain corporate 
expenses related primarily to employee payroll and benefits, marketing 
and selling expenses, and corporate facilities costs.  For purposes of 
preparing the financial information for the Business, certain expenses 
of PMC were allocated to the Business by PMC using their internal 
allocation system, which is based upon a variety of factors including 
sales of the Business, the number of employees of the Business and the 
identification of costs specifically attributable to the Business.  
Management believes that these allocations are based on assumptions 
that are reasonable under the circumstances; however, the Business' 
net assets to be acquired and the result of revenues, direct expenses 
and identified corporate expenses before interest and taxes may not be 
indicative of conditions that would have existed or results that would 
have occurred had the Business operated as an unaffiliated entity.  

The following represents a summary of the corporate costs allocated to 
the Business which were included in the statements of Revenues, Direct 
Expenses and Identified Corporate Expenses before Interest and Taxes 
(in thousands):

                                             Year Ended
                                            June 30, 1998
                                           --------------  
Research and Development................       $ 1,125
Selling, General and Administrative.....       $ 3,191


Revenue Recognition - Revenue from product sales is recognized upon 
shipment, net of estimated sales allowances.

Inventories - Inventories are stated at the lower of cost 
(which approximates cost using the first-in, first-out method) or 
market.  Inventory valuation includes indirect manufacturing costs 
that were allocated by PMC using internal allocation methods.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at fair value 
of the assets based upon an independent appraisal.  Management 
believes such amount is not materially different than the historical 
net book value of the assets, which is not available.

Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires 
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets 
and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during 
the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

Risks and Uncertainties - The Business sells its products to 
organizations in the healthcare industry, primarily in Canada, Europe, 
Japan and South America, and does not require its customers to provide 
collateral or other security to support accounts receivable.  The 
Business maintains allowances for estimated potential bad debt losses.

The Business participates in the dynamic global biopharmaceutical 
industry.  The Business believes that changes in any of the following 
areas could have a negative impact on the Business in terms of its 
future financial position and results of operations: successful 
product development; manufacturing and marketing capabilities; ability 
to negotiate acceptable collaborative relationships; obtaining 
necessary Food & Drug Administration and foreign regulatory approvals; 
ability to attract and retain key personnel; increased competition; 
uncertainty regarding health care reimbursement and reform; and 
potential exposure for product liability and hazardous materials.

                                            =============

                                            -------------

                                            =============

These notes consist of cash advances made by Rhone-Poulenc Pharma, S.A 
to IMTIX's subsidiaries in Germany and the Netherlands.  The notes 
bear interest at approximately 3.5% and were repaid by October 31, 1998.






5. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On September 30, 1998, SangStat Medical Corporation completed the 
acquisition of the IMTIX business.  The acquisition was accounted for 
using the purchase method of accounting.  The resulting wholly owned 
subsidiary of SangStat, named IMTIX-SangStat, is dedicated to the 
research, development, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals 
and biologics for organ transplantation. The aggregate purchase price 
of approximately $31 million consisted of $10 million paid upon 
closing and $21 million payable over five years as follows: $3 million 
in 1999, $3 million in 2000, $6 million in 2001, $5 million in 2002 
and $4 million in 2003.  In addition, the Company will pay PMC 
royalties on IMTIX-SangStat product sales that are variable and 
contingent upon the sales of certain IMTIX-SangStat products.

            NOTES TO PRO FORMA COMBINING CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. ACQUISITION

SangStat Medical Corporation ("SangStat" or the "Company") is a 
specialty pharmaceutical company applying a disease management 
approach to improve the outcome of organ transplantation.

On September 30, 1998, the Company completed the acquisition of 
Pasteur Merieux Connaught's organ transplant business known as IMTIX.  
The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of 
accounting.  The resulting wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, 
named IMTIX-SangStat, is dedicated to the research, development, 
manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals and biologics for organ 
transplantation. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $31 
million consisted of $10 million paid upon closing and $21 million 
payable over five years as follows: $3 million in 1999, $3 million in 
2000, $6 million in 2001, $5 million in 2002 and $4 million in 2003.  
In addition, the Company will pay PMC royalties on IMTIX-SangStat 
product sales that are variable and contingent upon the sales of 
certain IMTIX-SangStat products.   The discounted purchase price and 
approximately $2 million of acquisition costs were allocated to the 
net tangible assets acquired, intangible assets and purchased in-
process research and development.  Purchased in-process research and 
development of approximately $3.2 million was charged to the Company's 
operations in the third quarter of 1998 and represents the value of 
products in the development stage that have not yet reached 
technological feasibility.  Approximately $14.4 million of the 
purchase price was allocated to various specified intangible assets 
and is being amortized over their estimated useful lives ranging from 
five to fourteen years.



2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

The accompanying pro forma financial statements are presented in 
accordance with Article II of Regulation S-X.

To prepare the pro forma unaudited consolidated statement of 
operations, the SangStat statement of operations for the year ended 
December 31, 1997 has been combined with the statement of revenues, 
direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before interest and 
taxes of IMTIX for the twelve month period ended December 31, 1997.  
Also, the Sangstat statement of operations for the nine months ended 
September 30, 1998 has been combined with the statement of revenues, 
direct expenses and identified corporate expenses before interest and 
taxes of IMTIX for the nine months ended September 30, 1998.  This 
method of combining the entities is only for the presentation of pro 
forma unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements.  Actual 
statements of operations of the companies will be combined from the 
effective date of the acquisition, with no retroactive restatement.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be 
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of 
SangsStat.

The following pro forma adjustments have been made to the pro forma 
consolidated condensed financial statements.

(a) Adjustment to eliminate historical sales, including research and 
    development related revenues between IMTIX and the Company.

(b) Adjustment to eliminate cost of sales for historical sales and for 
    research and development expense arising from transactions between 
    IMTIX to the Company.

(c) Reflects the reversal of the one-time charge for purchased in-
    process research and development arising from this acquisition, as 
    it is a material nonrecurring charge.  This charge has been 
    included in the actual consolidated statement of operations of 
    SangStat in the third quarter of fiscal 1998.

(d) Reflects pro forma amortization of the purchased intangible assets 
    over the estimated useful life ranging from five to fourteen years 
    for the year ended December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended 
    September 30, 1998.

(e) Reflects interest expense that would have been incurred and 
    reduction of interest income as a result of the payables due to PMC 
    and reduction of cash used in connection with the acquisition.
