              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  Operations and Basis of Presentation

    LeukoSite, Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on May 1, 1992. The
    Company is engaged in the development of immunomodulatory therapeutics 
    with potential applications in inflammatory, autoimmune, and viral 
    diseases and cancer.

    The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
    been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
    Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in the opinion of
    management, all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments,
    necessary for a fair presentation of interim period results. Certain
    information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
    principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
    regulations. The Company believes, however, that its disclosures are
    adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The results for
    the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to
    be expected for the full fiscal year. These condensed financial statements
    should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial
    statements and notes related thereto included in the Company's Annual Report
    on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997 filed with the Securities
    and Exchange Commission.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

    (a) Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

    Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of
    less than three months. Marketable securities consist of securities with
    original maturities of greater than three months. The Company accounts for
    cash equivalents and marketable securities in accordance with Statement of
    Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115 "Accounting for Certain
    Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." In accordance with SFAS No. 115,
    the Company has classified its investments as held-to-maturity. The
    investments that the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to
    maturity are reported at amortized cost, which approximates fair market
    value.

    As of June 30, 1998 there were no material unrealized gains or losses on any
    investments. Cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities consisted
    of the following:

    (b) Net Loss per Common Share

    In March 1997 the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 128,
    Earnings per Share. The Company adopted SFAS No. 128 effective December 15,
    1997. Basic net loss per common share is based on the weighted average
    number of common shares outstanding. Diluted net loss per common share is
    the same as basic net loss per common share as the inclusion of stock
    options and warrants would be antidilutive. Pro forma net loss per common
    share assumes the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of
    redeemable convertible preferred stock and convertible preferred stock into
    common stock using the as-converted method, which occurred upon the closing
    of the Company's initial public offering on August 15, 1997. In addition,
    the net loss available to common stockholders for the three months and the
    six months ended June 30, 1997 has been adjusted to include $244,000 and
    $488,000, respectively, of dividends attributable to redeemable convertible
    preferred stock.

3.   Subsequent Event

     In July 1998, the Company completed a private placement of 1,967,169 shares
     of its common stock at $6 per share, for total net proceeds of $11.7
     million after expenses of the offering.

4.  Ilex Agreement

    In May 1997 the Company and Ilex Oncology, Inc. (Ilex) entered into a joint
    venture agreement that established a limited partnership for the purpose of
    developing LDP-03. Under the terms of the partnership, the Company is
    required to fund 50% of the partnership's working capital requirements. The
    joint venture expires in 2017, but provides for either partner under certain
    circumstances to purchase the other partner's ownership position of the
    joint venture after October 2000. Should either party fail to fulfill its
    funding obligations, control of the joint venture may change.

    The Company accounts for its investment in the joint venture under the
    equity method of accounting and records its share of the income or loss in
    other income (expense). The Company is reimbursed by the joint venture for
    certain costs incurred on behalf of the joint venture. For the six months
    ended June 30, 1998 the Company's share of the joint venture's recorded loss
    was $1,984,905 and the Company had a funding liability of $958,437 to the
    joint venture as of June 30, 1998. The Company charged the joint venture
    $415,344 for costs incurred by the Company on behalf of the joint venture.

    The joint venture has entered into an agreement with a third party to
    manufacture LDP-03. In connection with this agreement, the Company and Ilex
    have guaranteed the payment of the obligations of the joint venture due
    under the manufacturing agreement. As of June 30, 1998 the remaining
    obligation was approximately $2.8 million.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a leader in the discovery and development of therapeutics 
based upon the biology of leukocytes. Therapeutics developed using the 
Company's technology may be used to treat inflammatory, autoimmune, and viral 
diseases and cancer. The Company has been funded to date primarily through 
proceeds from the sale of equity securities and funding from collaboration 
agreements. To date, the Company has not received any revenue from the sale 
of products and does not expect to generate material product revenues for the 
next several years. The Company has experienced operating losses since its 
inception and expects that the activities required to develop and 
commercialize its products will result in further operating losses for the 
next several years. As of June 30, 1998 the Company had an accumulated 
deficit of approximately $39.6 million.

In 1994, 1995 and 1996 the Company signed agreements with Warner-Lambert 
Company for the discovery and development of drugs that are intended to 
antagonize the MCP-1, IL-8, CCR5 and CXCR4 receptors found on certain 
classes of leukocytes. In January 1998 Warner-Lambert Company made a $1 
million payment related to the achievement of certain milestones. In July 
1996 the Company signed an agreement with Roche Bioscience for the discovery 
and development of therapeutics that are intended to antagonize the CCR3 
receptor found on a certain class of leukocytes. In April 1997 the Company 
signed an agreement with Kyowa Hakko Kogyo for the discovery and development 
of therapeutics that are intended to antagonize the CXCR3 and CCR1 receptors 
found on certain classes of leukocytes. In May 1997 the Company entered into 
a joint venture with Ilex Oncology for the development of LDP-03 (CAMPATH-1H) 
for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia. In October 1997 the 
Company, Warner-Lambert and Kyowa agreed to jointly pursue research and 
development of antagonists that target MCP-1, IL-8, CCR1 and CXCR3. In 
December 1997 the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with 
Genentech, Inc. for the development of a monoclonal antibody therapeutic 
intended to be used in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

    For the three months ended June 30, 1998 revenues were $2,335,000 compared
to $1,370,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The increase of $965,000 was
the result of greater research funding from corporate collaborations with Kyowa
and Warner-Lambert, the achievement of a milestone with Warner-Lambert and from
Small Business Innovation Research ("SBIR") grants.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998 revenues were $4,693,000 compared to
$2,275,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The increase of $2,418,000 was the
result of greater research funding from corporate collaborations with Kyowa,
Warner-Lambert and Roche Bioscience, the achievement of a milestone with
Warner-Lambert, and SBIR grants.

Research and development expenses for the three and sixth month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997.

    For the three months ended June 30, 1998 research and development expenses
were $4,834,000 compared to $2,670,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The
increase of $2,164,000 was primarily due to the manufacturing of clinical trial
material and ongoing clinical trials for the Company's LDP-01 and LDP-02
programs and chemical library purchases. To a lesser extent, the increase was
the result of increased staffing and consumption of supplies associated with the
Company's drug discovery programs. The Company expects that research and
development expenses will increase over the next several years as the Company
further expands its discovery and development programs.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998 research and development expenses
were $8,940,000 compared to $5,451,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The
increase of $3,489,000 was primarily due to the manufacturing of clinical trial
material and ongoing clinical trials for the Company's LDP-01 and LDP-02
programs. To a lesser extent, the increase was the result of increased staffing
and consumption of supplies associated with the Company's drug discovery
programs. The Company expects that research and development expenses will
increase over the next several years as the Company further expands its
discovery and development programs.

General and administrative expenses for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997.

    For the three months ended June 30, 1998 general and administrative expenses
were $684,000 compared to $356,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The
increase of $328,000 was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated
with operating as a public company. General and administrative expenses will
likely increase in future periods to support the projected growth of the
Company.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998 general and administrative expenses
were $1,317,000 compared to $736,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The
increase of $581,000 was primarily due to an increase in expenses associated
with operating as a public company. General and administrative expenses will
likely increase in future periods to support the projected growth of the
Company.

Equity in Operations of Joint Venture for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1998 and 1997.

    For the three months ended June 30, 1998 equity in operations of joint
venture was a loss of $719,000. No loss was recorded for the comparable period
in 1997. Joint venture expenses were primarily related to data analysis,
regulatory submissions and activities related to an ongoing pivotal clinical
trial of LDP-03.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998 equity in operations of joint venture
was a loss of $1,985,000. No loss was recorded for the comparable period in
1997. Joint venture expenses were primarily related to the manufacture of LDP-03
by a third party for use in clinical trials and to a lesser extent activities
related to data analysis, regulatory submissions and activities related to an
ongoing pivotal clinical trial of LDP-03.

Interest income (expenses), net for the three and six month periods ended June
30, 1998 and 1997.

    For the three months ended June 30, 1998 net interest income was $269,000
compared to $151,000 for the comparable period in 1997. This increase of
approximately $118,000 was primarily due to an increase in interest income
resulting from higher average cash balances due to proceeds received from
LeukoSite's initial public offering completed in August 1997 and proceeds from
the sale of common stock to Genentech completed in December 1997.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998 net interest income was $567,000
compared to $211,000 for the comparable period in 1997. This increase of
approximately $356,000 was primarily due to an increase in interest income
resulting from higher average cash balances due to proceeds received from
LeukoSite's initial public offering completed in August 1997 and proceeds from
the sale of common stock to Genentech completed in December 1997.

Net Loss for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997.

    For the three months ended June 30, 1998 net loss was $3,634,000 compared to
$1,505,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The net loss increased $2,129,000
and was primarily due to LDP-03 development costs recorded by the joint venture
and the preparation of clinical trial material and clinical research related to
the Company's LDP-01 and LDP-02 programs which were offset in part by increased
revenues generated from research collaborations.

    For the six months ended June 30, 1998 net loss was $6,981,000 compared to
$3,700,000 for the comparable period in 1997. The net loss increased $3,281,000
and was primarily due to LDP-03 development costs recorded by the joint venture
and the preparation of clinical trial material and clinical research related to
the Company's LDP-01 and LDP-02 programs which were offset in part by increased
revenues generated from research collaborations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since its inception, the Company's operations have been funded primarily through
proceeds from the sale of equity securities, which have raised approximately
$52.6 million, and to a lesser extent license fees and sponsored research, which
have generated approximately $15.9 million, and capital lease obligations, which
have generated approximately $4.2 million. The Company has used cash to fund
operating losses of approximately $39 million, the investment of approximately
$2.3 million in equipment and leasehold improvements and the repayment of
approximately $2.9 million of capital lease obligations. The Company had no
significant commitments as of June 30, 1998 for capital expenditures. At June
30, 1998 the Company had on hand cash, cash equivalents and marketable
securities of approximately $19.5 million. In July 1998, the Company completed a
private placement of 1,967,169 shares of its common stock at $6 per share, for
total net proceeds of $11.7 million after expenses of the offering.

In May 1997 the Company and Ilex entered into a joint venture whereby the
parties formed a limited partnership to develop and commercialize LDP-03 for the
treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia and other diseases. The Company and
Ilex are required to make contributions each time the joint venture requires
working capital. LeukoSite and Ilex will generally share equally in profits from
the sales of LDP-03 and in research, development, and clinical expenses. The
capital requirements of the joint venture consist of clinical development
expenses. LeukoSite and Ilex estimate that research, development, and clinical
expenses for the joint venture will be approximately $5.0 million for 1998. For
the six months ended June 30, 1998 the Company provided the joint venture with
approximately $2.4 million in funding and the Company had a funding liability of
approximately $958,000 as of June 30, 1998. The Company charged the joint
venture approximately $415,000 for expenses incurred on its behalf.


                                       10
<PAGE>


The Company has entered into sponsored research and consulting agreements with
certain hospitals, academic institutions and consultants, requiring periodic
payments by the Company. As of June 30, 1998 aggregate minimum funding
obligations under these agreements, which include certain cancellation
provisions, total approximately $1,443,000, of which approximately $1,276,000
will be paid in 1998. The Company also has a remaining total commitment of
$750,000 to the Therapeutic Antibody Centre at the University of Oxford in
England to provide funding in semi-annual installments through the year 1999.

The Company believes that its existing capital resources, interest income and
revenue from the collaboration agreements will be sufficient to fund its planned
operating expenses and capital requirements into 2000. However, there can be no
assurance that such funds will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating
expenses and capital requirements during such period. The Company's actual cash
requirements may vary materially from those now planned and will depend upon
numerous factors, including the results of the Company's research and
development and collaboration programs, the timing and results of preclinical
and clinical trials, the timing and costs of obtaining regulatory approvals, the
progress of the milestone and royalty producing activities of the Company's
collaborative partners, the level of resources that the Company commits to the
development of manufacturing, marketing, and sales capabilities, the cost of
filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other
intellectual property rights, the ability of the Company to maintain existing
and establish new collaboration agreements with other companies, the
technological advances and activities of competitors and other factors.

The Company expects to incur substantial additional expenses, including expenses
related to ongoing research and development activities, expenditures for
preclinical and clinical trials and the expansion of its laboratory and
administrative activities. Therefore, the Company will need to raise substantial
additional capital. The Company intends to seek such additional funding through
public or private financing or collaboration or other arrangements with
collaborative partners. There can be no assurance, however, that additional
financing will be available from any sources or, if available, will be available
on acceptable terms.

Year 2000 Issues

The Company has assessed the impact of the year 2000 as it relates to the 
Company's computer and operating systems and does not believe that the year 
2000 will have a significant impact on the Company's information and 
operating systems and computer technology or on its business, results of 
operations or financial condition.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.           CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

                  The Company's Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Reg. No. 
                  333-30213) in connection with the Company's initial public 
                  offering of Common Stock was declared effective by the 
                  Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 14, 
                  1997. Such Registration Statement (the "IPO Registration 
                  Statement") provided for the registration under the 
                  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), 
                  of 2,875,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

                  The aggregate initial public offering price for all 
                  2,875,000 shares of Common Stock registered under the 
                  Securities Act pursuant to the IPO Registration Statement 
                  was $17,250,000. The net proceeds to the Company from such 
                  issuance and distribution, after deducting the aggregate 
                  amount of expenses (including underwriting discounts and 
                  commissions) paid by the Company in connection therewith, 
                  were $15,297,000.

                  Of such net proceeds, an aggregate of $6,870,000 has been 
                  spent through June 30, 1998 for the following uses and in 
                  the following amounts per use: $4,384,000 for the clinical 
                  development of CAMPATH-1H through the Company's joint 
                  venture with Ilex Oncology; $2,486,000 for working capital. 
                  All amounts spent by the Company for such uses, other than 
                  payment of salaries to directors and officers of the
                  Company, consisted of direct payments to persons or 
                  entities, none of which was a director or officer of the 
                  Company, holder of 10 percent or more of any class of 
                  equity securities of the Company or other affiliate of 
                  the Company. The remaining cash balance of such net 
                  proceeds, consisting of $8,427,000, are held in cash, 
                  cash equivalents, and marketable securities.
