NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Interim Financial Data

The interim financial data as of June 30, 2002, for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002 and for the period from
inception (September 9, 1988) through June 30, 2002 are unaudited,
however, in the opinion of AutoImmune Inc. (the "Company"), these
interim data include all adjustments, consisting only of normal
recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results
for these interim periods. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto for the
year ended December 31, 2001 included in the Company's Form 10-K.
Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results
for the entire year.

2. Net Loss Per Share - Basic and Diluted

Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted
earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number
of common shares and dilutive common equivalent shares assumed
outstanding during the period. Shares used to compute diluted earnings
per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2002
exclude the effect of 1,176,036 and 730,036 stock options outstanding
at June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively, as their inclusion would be
anti-dilutive.

3. Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The following is a summary of cash equivalents held by the Company.
Cash equivalents are carried at fair market value, which approximated
amortized cost at December 31, 2001 and June 30, 2002:

All of the Company's marketable securities are classified as current at
June 30, 2002 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, 2001 and 2002 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.

AUTOIMMUNE INC.



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

Results of Operations

Overview

Since its inception through June 30, 2002, the Company has incurred ongoing
losses from operations and has cumulative losses as of June 30, 2002 totaling
$107,862,000. To date, the Company has not recorded any revenues from the sale
of products. Revenues recorded through June 30, 2002 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. The Company's actual results may differ significantly from
results discussed in the forward-looking statements due to a number of important
factors, including, but not limited to the Company's extremely limited
operations, the uncertainties of clinical trial results and product development,
the Company's dependence on third parties for licensing revenue 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 "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, 2001 and 2002

Revenue was $8,000 and $15,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001
and 2002, respectively. Revenue was $15,000 and $30,000 for the six month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. These amounts represent
monthly license payments from BioMS Medical Corporation (formerly known as Rycor
Technology Investments Corp.)

Research and development expenses were $31,000 and $55,000 for the three month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Research and development
expenses were $145,000 and $118,000 for the six month periods ended June 30,
2001 and 2002, respectively. The change is due to the timing of patent-related
legal costs.

General and administrative expenses were $166,000 and $187,000 for the three
month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. General and
administrative expenses were $346,000 and $405,000 for the the six month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The increase is primarily due to the
rise in insurance costs.

Interest income was $119,000 and $50,000 for the three month periods ended June
30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. Interest income was $284,000 and $101,000 for
the six month periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2002, respectively. The decrease
is due to a lower average return on investment and a lower average balance of
cash available for investment.

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. Its current needs have been
significantly

7



AUTOIMMUNE INC.


reduced as a result of the termination of research, development and
administrative employees and other operating expenses in 1999.

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 patented products, the extent to which it proceeds by means of collaborative
relationships with pharmaceutical or nutraceutical companies and its competitive
environment. Based upon its budget for the calendar year 2002, 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 seek additional funding through public or private equity
or debt financing, collaborative arrangements with pharmaceutical companies or
from other sources. If additional funds are necessary but not available, the
Company will have to reduce certain activities, which could include areas of
research, product development, manufacturing or marketing activity, or otherwise
modify its business strategy. Such a reduction would have a material adverse
effect on the Company.

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, 2002, the Company's cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities
totaled $10,427,000. Current liabilities at June 30, 2002 were $183,000.

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.
