    (b) Net Loss per Common Share

    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 1,419,474 shares
    issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock and exercise of stock
    options and warrants would be antidilutive.

3.  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 CAMPATH-Registered Trademark-. 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. The joint 
    venture has sublicensed the rights to CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- from 
    the Company. For the three months ended March 31, 1999 the Company's 
    share of the joint venture's recorded loss was $646,372 and the Company 
    had a funding liability of $486,146 to the joint venture as of March 31, 
    1999. The Company charged the joint venture $363,670 for costs incurred 
    on its behalf for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

4.  CytoMed

    On February 11, 1999 the Company acquired all of the issued and 
    outstanding capital stock of CytoMed, Inc. ("CytoMed") through the 
    issuance of 935,625 shares of the Company's Series A Convertible 
    Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share, to CytoMed shareholders. The 
    Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will convert into common stock on a 
    one-to-one basis upon required approval by the Company's shareholders. 
    The Company will issue another 631,313 common shares to CytoMed 
    shareholders upon receipt of a $6,000,000 payment to CytoMed from UCB 
    Pharma which is required to be paid in October 1999. In addition, CytoMed 
    shareholders may receive up to $23,000,000 in cash and 84,000 shares of 
    the Company's common stock upon the achievement of milestones related to 
    the CytoMed product candidates.

    The merger was accounted for as a purchase in accordance with the 
    requirements of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No.16, Business 
    Combinations, and accordingly CytoMed's results of operations are 
    included in those of the Company beginning on the date of the 
    acquisition. The total purchase price, including transaction costs, was 
    approximately $16,100,000. The total purchase price was allocated to the 
    fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed including an 
    allocation to in-process research and development of $1,588,612. The 
    nature of the efforts to develop the purchased in-process technologies 
    into commercially viable products principally relate to the completion of 
    all development, testing, and high-volume manufacturing activities that 
    are necessary to establish that the products can be produced to meet its 
    design specifications and are proven to be safe and effective for their 
    respective indications. As of the acquisition date, technological 
    feasibility of the compounds in development had not been established and 
    the technologies have no alternative future uses. If these projects are 
    not successfully developed, the Company will not realize the value 
    assigned to the in-process research and development.

5.   Segment Reporting

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
     AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION. This statement established standards
     for the way that public business enterprises report information about
     operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that
     enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim
     financial reports issued to stockholders. The Company has adopted this
     statement for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1998. In accordance with
     SFAS No. 131, the Company has one operating segment. Additional disclosure
     of revenue information about products and services is, therefore, not
     required.

6.   Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In February 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 132, Employers' Disclosures about
     Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits. The statement is effective for
     fiscal years beginning after December 15,1997. During the year ended
     December 31, 1998 the Company adopted the


                                       8
<PAGE>

     provisions of SFAS No. 132 which establishes accounting and reporting
     standards for pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

     In June 1998 the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
     Instruments and Hedging Activities. The statement is effective for the year
     ended December 31, 2000. SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting
     disclosure standards for derivative instruments including certain
     derivative instruments embedded in other contracts (collectively referred
     to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. The Company does not expect
     adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated
     financial position or results of operations.

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

The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain
forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934,
including but not limited, (i) statements about the adequacy of the Company's
capital resources, interest income and revenues from its collaboration
agreements to fund its operating expenses and capital requirements into early
2001, (ii) statements about the amount of capital expenditures that the Company
expects to incur in 1999 and (iii) certain statements identified or qualified by
words such as "anticipate," "plan," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar
expressions. Investors are cautioned that forward-looking statements are
inherently uncertain and that the Company's actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied
by, these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to
such differences include those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
1998.

OVERVIEW

The Company is a leader in the discovery and development of therapeutics based
upon the biology of leukocytes. Therapeutics developed using its technology may
be used to treat cancer and inflammatory, autoimmune and viral diseases. 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. 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 March 31, 1999, the Company
had an accumulated deficit of approximately $52.8 million.

In 1994, 1995 and 1996, the Company signed agreements with Warner-Lambert for 
the discovery and development of drugs that are intended to antagonize the 
MCP-1, IL-8 and CCR5 and CXCR4 receptors found on certain classes of 
leukocytes. In December 1998 the Company and Warner-Lambert signed an 
agreement related to the A4B7 and AEB7 integrin targets implicated in asthma 
and inflammatory bowel disease. In July 1996 the Company signed an agreement 
with Roche Bioscience for the discovery and development of monoclonal 
antibodies and small molecule antagonists to the CCR3 receptor found on a 
certain class of leukocytes. In April 1997 the Company signed an agreement 
with Kyowa for the discovery and development of small molecule antagonists to 
the CXCR3 and CCR1 receptors found on certain classes of leukocytes. In May 
1997 the Company entered into a joint venture with ILEX for the development 
of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- for the treatment of chronic lymphocyctic 
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 for the development of a monoclonal 
antibody intended as therapy for inflammatory bowel disease. In August 1998 
the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with MorphoSys AG for the 
discovery of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies for inflammatory and 
autoimmune disorders. On February 11, 1999 the Company acquired all of the 
issued and outstanding capital stock of CytoMed for approximately $16.1 
million.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 as Compared with Three Months Ended March 31,
1998.

Revenues were $3,238,000 for 1999 compared to $2,358,000 for 1998. The 
increase of approximately $880,000 was primarily due to greater research 
funding from Warner-Lambert. To a lesser extent the increase was due to 
billings to L&I Partners, L.P. for the reimbursement of expenses incurred by 
the Company on behalf of the joint venture to develop CAMPATH-Registered 
Trademark-, and government grant funding.

Research and development expenses were $6,476,000 for 1999 compared to
$4,106,000 for 1998. The increase of approximately $2,370,000 was primarily due
to the external costs associated with the manufacture of clinical trial material
and ongoing clinical trials for the Company's LDP-02 program, development of
LDP-977, and increased costs associated with the Company's drug discovery
programs.

General and administrative expenses were $666,000 for 1999 compared to $632,000
for 1997. The increase of approximately $34,000 was primarily due to an increase
in expenses associated with outside services as a result of operating as a
public company and business development and increased staffing to support the
growth of the Company.

Acquired in-process research and development was recorded in the amount of
$1,589,000 in connection with the CytoMed acquisition.

Equity in Operations of Joint Venture was a loss of $646,000 for 1999 
compared to $1,266,000 for 1998. The decrease of approximately $620,000 was 
primarily to due to the substantial completion in the second quarter of 1998 
of the manufacture of clinical trial material for the Company's pivotal 
clinical study of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark-. Joint venture expenses 
primarily relate to data analysis and activities related to regulatory 
submissions. In April 1999 the Company and ILEX met with U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA) for a pre-BLA meeting on the clinical development of 
CAMPATH-Registered Trademark-. The Company and ILEX plan to file a Biologics 
License Application (BLA) with the FDA in mid-1999.

Interest income (expense), net was $315,000 for 1999 compared to $299,000 for
1998. The increase of $16,000 was primarily due to the Company's higher cash and
cash equivalents balance and investments in marketable securities provided by a
private placement in July 1998 and the CytoMed acquisition in February 1999.

Net Loss was $5,823,000 for 1999 compared to $3,347,000 for 1998. The increase
of approximately $2,661,000 was primarily due to the one-time charge for the
purchase of acquired in-process research and development due to the CytoMed
acquisition, the manufacture of clinical trial material and clinical research 
for the Company's LDP-02 program, development of LDP-977, and greater 
research and development expenses related to the Company's drug discovery 
programs. Higher overall expenses were offset in part by increased research 
funding from Warner-Lambert.


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
$64.6 million, and to a lesser extent license fees and sponsored research, which
have generated approximately $22.3 million, and capital lease obligations, which
have generated approximately $5.1 million. The Company has used cash to fund
operating losses of approximately $52.1 million, the investment of approximately
$3.2 million in equipment and leasehold improvements and the repayment of
approximately $3.5 million of capital lease obligations. The Company had no
significant commitments as of March 31, 1999 for capital

                                       11
<PAGE>

expenditures. At March 31, 1999 the Company had on hand cash, cash equivalents
and marketable securities of approximately $26.7 million.

At March 31, 1999 other current assets were approximately $6.8 million. Included
in other current assets is a current receivable of $6 million due to CytoMed
from UCB Pharma which is required to be paid in October 1999.

The Company has entered into sponsored research and consulting agreements with
certain hospitals, academic institutions and consultants, requiring periodic
payments by the Company. Aggregate minimum funding obligations under these
agreements, which include certain cancellation provisions, total approximately
$1.9 million, of which approximately $1.5 million will be paid in 1999. The
Company also has a commitment to the Therapeutic Antibody Centre at the
University of Oxford in England to provide funding of $1.0 million in
semi-annual installments through the year 1999.

In May 1997 the Company and ILEX entered into a joint venture whereby the 
parties formed a limited partnership to develop CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- 
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. The Company and ILEX will generally share 
equally in profits from the sales of CAMPATH-Registered Trademark- and in 
research, development, and clinical expenses. The capital requirements of the 
joint venture consist of clinical development expenses.

On February 11, 1999 the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
capital stock of CytoMed. The total purchase price was approximately $16.1
million and the net assets acquired were approximately $14.5 million of which
approximately $8.5 million was cash and $6 million was a receivable from UCB
Pharma expected to be paid in October 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 2001. 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 is reviewing its information systems to assess what steps are
required to achieve full Year 2000 compliance. The Company relies upon
microprocessor-based personal computers and commercially available applications
software. The Company is currently discussing Year 2000 readiness with its
supply and service vendors. The Company intends to continue to assess its
exposure to Year 2000 noncompliance on the part of any of its vendors and there
can be no assurance that their systems will be Year 2000 compliant. The Company
does not anticipate that it will incur material expenses to make its internal
computer software and operating systems Year 2000 compliant. The Company
believes that the Year 2000 issue will not pose significant problems for the
Company's systems. The Company currently does not have any contingency plan in
the event Year 2000 compliance cannot be achieved in a timely manner.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.


The Company owns financial instruments that are sensitive to market risks as
part of its investment portfolio. The investment portfolio is used to preserve
the Company's capital until it is required to fund operations, including the
Company's research and development activities. All of these market-risk
sensitive instruments are classified as held-to-maturity and are not held for
trading purposes. The Company does not own derivative financial instruments in
its investment portfolio. The investment portfolio contains instruments that are
subject to the risk of a decline in interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk-The Company's investment portfolio includes investment grade
debt instruments. These bonds are subject to interest rate risk, and could
decline in value if interest rates fluctuate. Due to the short duration and
conservative nature of these instruments, the Company does not believe that it
has a material exposure to interest rate risk.

PART II  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2.  CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

         (a)  Not applicable.

         (b)  Not applicable.

         (c)  On February 11, 1999, the Company acquired CytoMed, Inc. (by 
              merger). The Company issued (or is obligated to issue) an 
              aggregate of 935,625 shares of the Company's Series A 
              Convertible Preferred Stock to certain of the former 
              shareholders of CytoMed, Inc. for an aggregate price of 
              approximately $16.1 million, as the initial consideration for 
              such acquisition. The issuance and sale of the shares of Series 
              A Convertible Preferred Stock was made in reliance upon Rule 
              506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 
              1933 as amended (the "Securities Act") and upon Section 4(2) of 
              the Securities Act. The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is 
              convertible into shares of the Company's Common Stock on a 
              one-for-one basis only upon approval by the pre-acquisition 
              shareholders of the Company (which is being sought at the 
              Company's 1999 Annual Meeting).

         (d)  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
              2,875,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock
              (including underwriters overallotment).

              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.
