                          LEXICON GENETICS INCORPORATED

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


1.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2000.

     For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999, included in Lexicon's Registration
Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-96469) as filed with the SEC and the
prospectus dated April 7, 2000 included therein.

2.   NET LOSS PER SHARE AND PRO FORMA NET LOSS PER SHARE

     Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. Shares associated with stock options and warrants
and the convertible preferred stock are not included because they are
antidilutive.

     Pro forma net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding, including pro forma effects of the automatic
conversion of outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock into shares of
Lexicon's common stock effective upon the closing of Lexicon's initial public
offering (refer to Note 4) as if such conversion occurred on the date of
original issuance.

3.   DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION

     During January and February 2000, Lexicon issued options to purchase an
aggregate of 3,495,900 shares of common stock to certain employees and
consultants. Lexicon recorded deferred compensation totaling approximately $60.5
million for options granted in the first quarter of 2000. Deferred stock
compensation represents the difference between the exercise price of stock
options and the fair value of Lexicon's common stock at the date of grant.
Deferred stock compensation is amortized over the vesting periods of the
individual stock options for which it is recorded. For the three months ended
March 31, 2000, Lexicon amortized $11.9 million of deferred stock compensation.
If employees and consultants continue to vest in accordance with their
individual stock options, Lexicon expects to record amortization expense for
deferred stock compensation as follows: $9.7 million during the nine months
ended December 31, 2000, $12.9 million during 2001, $12.9 million during 2002,
$12.9 million during 2003 and $1.1 million during 2004. The amount of stock
based compensation expense to be recorded in future


                                       6
<PAGE>   7


periods may decrease if unvested options for which deferred stock compensation
expense has been recorded are subsequently canceled.

4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT - INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND CONVERSION OF PREFERRED
     STOCK

     In April 2000, Lexicon completed an initial public offering of 10,000,000
newly-issued shares of its common stock at a price of $22.00 per share. Lexicon
received $203.6 million in cash, net of underwriting discounts, commissions and
other offering costs.

     Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, the
4,244,664 shares of Redeemable Convertible Series A Preferred Stock outstanding
at March 31, 2000 were automatically converted into 12,733,992 shares of common
stock.

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

OVERVIEW

     We are a genomics company using gene trapping technology to discover
thousands of genes and to expand our OmniBank library of tens of thousands of
knockout mouse clones for drug discovery. We derive substantially all of our
revenues from subscriptions to our databases, collaborations for the development
and, in some cases, analysis of knockout mice and from government grants. To
date, we have generated a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited
number of sources.

     Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and, as of March
31, 2000, we had an accumulated deficit of $42.3 million. Our losses have
resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development, general
and administrative costs associated with our operations, and non-cash stock
based compensation expenses associated with stock options granted to employees
and consultants prior to the closing of our initial public offering in April
2000. Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and
related personnel costs, material costs, legal expenses resulting from
intellectual property prosecution and other expenses related to the generation
of our Human Gene Trap(TM) database, OmniBank database and library and the
development of knockout mice. We expense our research and development costs as
they are incurred. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of
salaries and related expenses for executive, finance and other administrative
personnel, professional fees and other corporate expenses including business
development and general legal activities. In connection with the expansion of
our Human Gene Trap database, OmniBank database and library and functional
genomics research efforts, we expect to incur increasing research and
development and general and administrative costs. As a result, we will need to
generate significantly higher revenues to achieve profitability. Deferred stock
compensation represents the difference between the exercise price of stock
options and the fair value of our common stock at the date of grant. Deferred
stock compensation is amortized over the vesting periods of the individual stock
options for which it is recorded.

     Our quarterly operating results will depend upon many factors, including
expiration of research contracts with collaborators or government research
grants, the success rate of our discovery efforts leading to milestones and
royalties, the timing and willingness of collaborators to commercialize products
which would result in royalties, general and industry-specific economic
conditions which may affect research and development expenditures and the timing
and content of information released by the Human Genome Project. As a
consequence, our quarterly operating results have fluctuated in the past and are
likely to do so in the future.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended March 31, 1999 and 2000

     Revenues. Total revenues increased 320% to $3.3 million in the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from $796,000 in the corresponding period in 1999. Of the
$2.5 million increase, $1.3 million was derived from increased database
subscription and license fees and $1.2 million was derived from increased fees
for the development of knockout mice.


                                       8
<PAGE>   9

     Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses
increased 17% to $3.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $3.1
million in the corresponding period in 1999. The increase of $510,000 was
attributable to continued growth of research and development activities,
primarily related to increased personnel costs to support the generation of our
Human Gene Trap database, OmniBank database and library and the development of
knockout mice.

     General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses
increased 92% to $1.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from
$675,000 in the corresponding period in 1999. The increase of $624,000 was due
to primarily to additional personnel costs for business development and finance
and administration.

     Stock Based Compensation Expense. For the three months ended March 31,
2000, we amortized $11.9 million of deferred compensation related to options
granted to employees and certain consultants. We did not record any stock based
compensation expense in the corresponding period in 1999. If employees and
consultants continue to vest in accordance with their individual stock options,
we expect to record amortization expense for deferred compensation as follows:
$9.7 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2000, $12.9 million
during 2001, $12.9 million during 2002, $12.9 million during 2003 and $1.1
million during 2004. The amount of stock based compensation expense to be
recorded in future periods may decrease if unvested options for which stock
based compensation expense has been recorded are subsequently canceled.

     Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income decreased 43% to
$128,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $226,000 in the
corresponding period in 1999. This decrease resulted from a declining cash and
investment balance due to cash used in operating activities. Interest expense
increased 258% to $110,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $30,000
in the corresponding period in 1999. This increase resulted from higher debt
obligation balances in the first quarter of 2000.

     Net Loss and Net Loss Per Common Share. Net loss increased to $13.4 million
in the three months ended March 31, 2000 from $2.7 million in the corresponding
period in 1999. Net loss per share increased to $0.55 in the three months ended
March 31, 2000 from $0.12 in the corresponding period in 1999. These increases
resulted from a $11.9 million charge for stock based compensation in the three
months ended March 31, 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     We have financed our operations from inception primarily through private
sales of common and preferred stock, contract and milestone payments to us under
our database subscription and collaboration agreements and equipment financing
arrangements. As of March 31, 2000, we had received net proceeds of $36.9
million from issuances of common and preferred stock. In addition, from our
inception through March 31, 2000, we received $17.7 million in cash payments
from database subscription and license fees, fees for the development of
knockout mice, sales of products related to the generation of knockout mice and
government grants, of which $11.6 million had been recognized as revenues
through March 31, 2000. On April 6, 2000, we signed an underwriting agreement
with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, CIBC
World Markets Corp. and Punk, Ziegel & Company, L.P., as representatives of the
underwriters named therein, for the initial public offering of 10,000,000 shares
of our common stock at an initial public offering price of $22.00 per share. We
received net proceeds of $203.6 million from the offering after deducting
underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses.

     As of March 31, 2000, we had $8.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and
marketable securities, as compared to $9.2 million as of December 31, 1999.
After giving pro forma effect to the initial public



                                       9
<PAGE>   10

offering and our receipt of the net proceeds from the offering, we had $212.2
million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as of March 31,
2000. We provided $1.1 million from operations in the three months ended March
31, 2000. This consisted of the net loss for the period of $13.4 million offset
by non-cash charges of $11.9 million related to compensation expense, $553,000
related to depreciation expense and a net decrease in other working capital
accounts of $2.1 million. We used $247,000 in investing activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2000, which resulted from purchases of property and
equipment. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 of 1.2 million, resulted from deferred offering costs associated
with Lexicon's initial public offering in April 2000.

     In June 1999, we entered into a $5.0 million financing arrangement for the
purchase of property and equipment. As of March 31, 2000, we had drawn down
approximately $4.2 million and had $832,000 remaining available under this
arrangement. As of March 31, 2000, $3.5 million of this amount remained
outstanding under this arrangement and was secured by the equipment financed.
This facility accrues interest at a weighted-average rate of approximately 11.7%
and is due in monthly installments through 2003. In addition, as of March 31,
2000, we had $82,000 in capitalized lease obligations outstanding compared to
$133,000 at December 31, 1999.

     Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including our ability
to obtain database subscription and collaboration agreements and government
grants, the amount and timing of payments under such agreements and grants, the
level and timing of our research and development expenditures, market acceptance
of our products, the resources we devote to developing and supporting our
products and other factors. We expect to devote substantial capital resources to
continue our research and development efforts, to expand our support and product
development activities, and for other general corporate activities. We believe
that our current cash balances, together with the net proceeds of this offering
and revenues to be derived from subscriptions to our databases, collaborations
for the development and, in some cases, analysis of knockout mice and government
grants, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next several
years. During or after this period, if cash generated by operations is
insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to sell
additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit arrangements.
Additional financing may not be available on terms acceptable to us or at all.
The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities may result in
additional dilution to our stockholders.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

     The effect of inflation and changing prices on our operations was not
significant during the periods presented.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

     Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash and cash equivalents
which have maturities of less than three months. We maintain an investment
portfolio which consists of U.S. Government debt obligations and investment
grade commercial paper that mature one to twelve months after December 31, 1999,
which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We currently do not hedge
interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term maturities of our investments,
we do not believe that an increase in market rates would have any negative
impact on the realized value of our investment portfolio.

     We have operated primarily in the United States and all sales to date have
been made in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we have not had any material exposure to
foreign currency rate fluctuations.

FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1993, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "estimate," "project" and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements
are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including the following:

Risks Related to Our Business

     o    we have a history of net losses, and we expect to continue to incur
          net losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability

     o    we are an early-stage company with an unproven business strategy

     o    we may need additional capital in the future and, if it is not
          available, we will have to curtail or cease operations

     o    we face substantial competition in the discovery of the DNA sequences
          of genes and their functions and in our drug discovery and product
          development efforts

     o    we rely heavily on collaborators to develop and commercialize products
          based on genes that we identify as promising candidates for
          development as drug targets

     o    any cancellation by or conflicts with our collaborators could harm our
          business

     o    we have no experience in developing and commercializing products on
          our own

     o    if we lose our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain
          additional personnel, we may be unable to pursue collaborations or
          develop our own products

     o    we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could
          increase our losses

     o    because our entire OmniBank(R)mouse clone library is located at a
          single facility, the occurrence of a disaster could significantly
          disrupt our business

Risks Related to Our Industry

     o    our ability to patent our discoveries is uncertain because patent laws
          and their interpretation are highly uncertain and subject to change

     o    our patent applications may not result in enforceable patent rights

     o    if other companies and institutions obtain patents claiming the
          functional uses of genes and gene products based upon gene sequence
          information and predictions of gene function, we may be unable to
          obtain patents for our discoveries of biological function in knockout
          mice

     o    if our potential products conflict with patents that competitors,
          universities or others have obtained, then we may be unable to
          commercialize those products


                                       11
<PAGE>   12

     o    issued patents may not fully protect our discoveries, and our
          competitors may be able to commercialize products similar to those
          covered by our issued patents

     o    our rights to the use of technologies licensed by third parties are
          not within our control

     o    we may be unable to protect our trade secrets

     o    we and our collaborators are subject to extensive and uncertain
          government regulatory requirements, which could increase our operating
          costs or adversely affect our ability to obtain government approval of
          products based on genes that we identify in a timely manner or at all

     o    security risks in electronic commerce or unfavorable internet
          regulation may deter future use of our products and services

     o    we use hazardous chemicals and radioactive and biological materials in
          our business; any disputes relating to improper handling, storage or
          disposal of these materials could be time consuming and costly

     o    we may be sued for product liability

     o    public perception of ethical and social issues may limit or discourage
          the use of our technologies, which could reduce our revenues

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should
underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially
from those anticipated, believed, expected, estimated or projected. For
additional discussion of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, see "Risk
Factors" included in the our initial public offering prospectus dated April 7,
2000 and contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No.
333-96469) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 2. CHANGES IN SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

     The effective date of the Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration
No. 333-96469) filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to
the initial public offering of our common stock was April 6, 2000. On the same
date, we signed an underwriting agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities, Inc.,
Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, CIBC World Markets Corp. and Punk,
Ziegel & Company, L.P., the managing underwriters for the initial public
offering and the representatives of the underwriters named in the underwriting
agreement, for the initial public offering of 10,000,000 shares of our common
stock at an initial public offering price of $22.00 per share. The offering
commenced on April 7, 2000 and was closed on April 12, 2000. The initial public
offering resulted in gross proceeds of $220.0 million. We received net proceeds
of $203.6 million after deducting underwriting discounts of $15.4 million and
estimated offering expenses of $1.0 million.

     Concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering, the 4,244,664
outstanding shares of our Series A Preferred Stock were automatically converted
into 12,733,992 shares of common stock. As a result, we no longer have any
outstanding preferred stock.

     Because the initial public offering occurred after March 31, 2000, we had
not used any of the net proceeds from the offering through the end of the period
covered by this report on Form 10-Q. We expect that our use of proceeds from the
offering will conform to the intended use of proceeds as described in our
initial public offering prospectus dated April 7, 2000.

ITEM 4 SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

     Our annual meeting of stockholders was held on March 15, 2000 to consider
and vote upon the following proposals:

     (1)  Election of Directors. The following individuals were nominated and
          elected as directors, with the following numbers of shares voted for
          and withheld for each director:
