Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On May 7, 2008, Immunomedics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), issued a press release to report the Company's financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The full text of the press release is attached to this current report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.*

Item 2.06. Material Impairments.

The Company, is also filing this Current Report on Form 8-K in connection with the recent developments regarding the market for, and its holdings of, auction rate securities ("ARS"). As of March 31, 2008, the Company held eight auction rate securities with a par value of $29.0 million, which are classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheet. The ARS held are all AAA rated collateralized by student loans guaranteed by the U.S. government under the Federal Family Education Loan Program and backed by insurance companies. The Company's ARS investments are intended to provide liquidity via an auction process that resets the applicable interest rate at predetermined calendar intervals, allowing investors to either roll over their holdings or gain immediate liquidity by selling such interests at par. ARS have long-term scheduled maturities, but have interest rates that are typically reset at pre-determined intervals, (every 28 days for the securities purchased by the Company), at which time the securities can typically be purchased or sold, creating a liquid market. Due to an active secondary market for such investments, the rate reset for each instrument is an opportunity to accept the reset rate or sell the instrument at its face value in order to seek an alternative investment. In the past, the auction process has allowed investors to roll over their holdings or obtain immediate liquidity by selling the securities at par. The Company does not intend to hold these securities to maturity, but rather to use the interest rate reset feature to provide the opportunity to maximize returns while preserving liquidity.

These securities are classified as short-term investments in current assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. To date the Company has collected all interest payable on all ARS when due and expects to continue to do so in the future. Until February 2008, the ARS market was highly liquid. During the week of February 11, 2008, a substantial number of auctions "failed," meaning that there was not enough demand to sell the entire issue at auction. The recent uncertainties in the credit markets have affected the Company's holdings in ARS investments as the auctions for these securities have failed to settle on their respective settlement dates. Consequently, the investments are not currently liquid and the Company will not be able to access these funds until a future auction of these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside of the auction process.

As part of the Company's preparation and review of its financials for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the Company reviewed ARS for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, and related guidance issued by the FASB and SEC in order to determine the classification of the impairment as "temporary" or "other-than-temporary." As a result of the Company's assessment of a number of factors, including without limitation, market conditions and the credit quality of these securities, on May 1, 2008 the Company determined that the estimated fair value no longer approximates par value, although we continue to earn interest on the current auction rate security investments at the maximum contractual rate. Accordingly, the Company recorded an other than temporary impairment charge of $2.2 million to reduce the value of the ARS to their estimated fair value of $26.8 million. The Company has been offered a line of credit of up to $15.0 million with a financial institution, secured by its marketable securities, and is currently negotiating the specific terms of the agreement. The Company has consulted with its financial advisors and has accepted a tender offer to convert $6.0 million of the marketable securities at par value plus accrued interest payable to the expected settlement date, May 21, 2008, which we expect will reduce the maximum principal amount under the proposed line of credit to $9.0 million.

Such statements, including statements regarding financing transactions and out-licensing arrangements (including the timing and amount of contingent payments), clinical trials, patent protection, forecasts of future operating results, and other capital raising activities, involve significant risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied herein.
