ITEM 3:  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS

Pursuant to the terms of a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement between Genentech
and IDEC dated March 16, 1995 (the "Purchase Agreement"), a copy of which was
attached as Exhibit B to the Original Schedule 13D. Genentech agreed to purchase
up to six subseries of IDEC's Series A Preferred Stock. The six subseries of
Series A Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Purchase Agreement are
hereinafter referred to as the "Convertible Preferred Stock."

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on April 4, 1995, Genentech purchased
100,000 shares of IDEC's Series A-1 Preferred Stock (initially convertible into
1,000,000 shares of IDEC Common Stock) for $50.00 per share of Series A-1
Preferred Stock. The total purchase price of $5,000,000 for the Series A-1
Preferred Stock was paid from Genentech's working capital. Under the terms of
the Purchase Agreement, on August 22, 1995, Genentech purchased 37,521 shares of
IDEC's Series A-2 Preferred Stock (initially convertible into 375,210 shares of
IDEC Common Stock) for $66.63 per share of Series A-2 Preferred Stock. The total
purchase price of $2,500,000 for the Series A-2 Preferred Stock was paid from
Genentech's working capital. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, on March
15, 1996, Genentech purchased 22,993 shares of IDEC's Series A-3 Preferred Stock
(initially convertible into 229,930 shares of IDEC Common Stock) for $217.46 per
share of Series A-3 Preferred Stock. The total purchase price of $5,000,000 for
the Series A-3 Preferred Stock was paid from Genentech's working capital.

Under the terms of an Acceleration Agreement between Genentech and IDEC dated
May 9, 1996 (the "Acceleration Agreement"), a copy of which was attached as
Exhibit B to the Amended Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on May 21, 1996, Genentech purchased 100,000 shares of IDEC's Series
A-6 Preferred Stock at $75.00 per share of Series A-6 Preferred Stock. The total
purchase price of $7,500,000 for the Series A-6 Preferred Stock was paid from
Genentech's working capital. Each share of Series A-6 Preferred Stock became
convertible into 2.15653 shares of IDEC Common Stock on December 24, 1997, the
date that was 20 trading days following the date of marketing approval of IDEC's
C2B8 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of
Genentech, into shares of IDEC's Common Stock at predetermined rates described
in IDEC's Certificate of Determination of Preferences (the "Certificate") and
will not have voting rights until converted into shares of IDEC Common Stock.
Each share of Convertible Preferred Stock also will automatically convert into
shares of IDEC's Common Stock at predetermined rates described in the
Certificate upon transfer of ownership to a third party unaffiliated with
Genentech. Under the 1995 Registration Rights Agreement between IDEC and
Genentech, IDEC, at Genentech's request, will file resale registration
statements covering certain of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock.



<PAGE>   4

Genentech and IDEC also entered into a Collaboration Agreement dated as of March
16, 1995, as amended, and an Expression Technology License dated as of March 16,
1995. Under the terms of the Collaboration Agreement, Genentech and IDEC will
collaborate in the development of C2B8 for the treatment of humans of
non-Hodgkins B Cell Lymphoma in the United States and Canada. The two companies
will co-promote C2B8 for the treatment in humans of non-Hodgkins B Cell Lymphoma
in the United States and Canada, and share profits from its commercialization.
IDEC also granted Genentech exclusive marketing rights to all other markets
outside the United States and Canada, and IDEC will receive a royalty on sales
in such markets. Genentech has sublicensed its marketing rights in Japan to an
unrelated third party and has agreed to sublicense its marketing rights other
than in the United States and Japan to a related third party. Under the terms of
the Collaboration Agreement, IDEC has an obligation to create a vacancy on its
Board of Directors and to use its best efforts to have elected a Genentech
representative. IDEC's obligation regarding the board seat shall continue until
certain events occur, including termination of the Collaboration Agreement or
Genentech holding less than the number of shares representing the Common Stock
equivalent of the shares of Series A-1 and Series A-2 Preferred Stock, i.e., the
equivalent of 1,375,210 shares of Common Stock (prior to IDEC's 2:1 stock split
effective December 21, 1999). Under the terms of the Expression Technology
License, IDEC licensed its proprietary vector technology for high expression of
recombinant proteins in mammalian cells in consideration for an up-front
licensing fee and royalties on sales of Genentech products manufactured using
the technology.

ITEM 4:  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

The purpose of the purchases of the shares of Convertible Preferred Stock on
April 4, 1995, August 22, 1995, March 15, 1996 and May 9, 1996 is investment.
Depending on its evaluation of IDEC's business, prospects, financial condition,
the market for IDEC securities, other opportunities available to Genentech,
general economic conditions, general market conditions, other future
developments and the contractual restrictions described in Items 3 and 6,
Genentech may decide to sell some or all of its investment in the capital stock
of IDEC through public market sales or in negotiated transactions, to or through
one or more broker-dealers, or in underwritten offerings, block trades, agency
placements, brokerage transactions or otherwise. Depending on the same factors,
Genentech may in the future purchase additional capital stock of IDEC or enter
into hedging or similar transactions as described in Item 6.

Except as described in Items 3 and 6 and the foregoing paragraph, Genentech does
not have any plan or proposal relating to, or which would result in, any event
described in (a) - (j) of the instructions to this Item 4.

ITEM 6:  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIP WITH RESPECT TO
         SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

To the best knowledge of the undersigned, except as described below and in Item
3, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal
or otherwise) among the persons named in Item 2 and between such persons and any
person with respect to any securities of IDEC, including but not limited to
transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder's fees, joint ventures, loan
or option agreements, puts or calls, guarantees or profits, division of profits
or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.

Under the Standstill Agreement between the parties dated as of March 16, 1995
(the "Standstill Agreement"), a copy of which was attached to the Original
Schedule 13D as Exhibit D, Genentech and IDEC have agreed as follows:

               1. Prior to March 16, 2001, Genentech will not acquire any IDEC
equity securities without the written consent of IDEC, except as described in
Item 3; and

               2. Prior to March 16, 2001, Genentech will not, without the
written consent of IDEC, make, directly or indirectly, any solicitation of
proxies from stockholders to vote (i) in any contest regarding the election of
directors of IDEC except to the extent necessary to maintain the election of one
director representing Genentech; or (ii) in any contest or on any proposition
regarding any business combination, restructuring, liquidation, sale of assets,
extraordinary dividend or other extraordinary transaction which (A) was
initiated by Genentech or any affiliate of Genentech, or (B) involves IDEC and
any third party or person controlled by, under common control with, controlling,
or otherwise affiliated with Genentech. The foregoing obligations terminate
earlier upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Standstill
Agreement.

Subject to the contractual restrictions described above, Genentech may from time
to time enter into hedging transactions, including short sales and buying puts
and selling calls, for its own account or with broker-dealers and the
broker-dealers may engage in short sales of Common Stock of IDEC in the course
of hedging the positions they assume with Genentech. In connection with such
transactions, Genentech may also loan or pledge shares of Convertible Preferred
Stock to a broker-dealer. Genentech has recently entered into the following
hedging transactions:

On December 11, 1997, in privately negotiated transactions, Genentech sold call
options covering an aggregate of 170,000 shares of IDEC Common Stock. The strike
price of the call option was $41.60 per share. The call options were exercised
on June 1, 1999.

Between December 16, 1997 and December 29, 1997, in privately negotiated
transactions, Genentech sold call options covering an aggregate of 190,000
shares of IDEC Common Stock. The strike prices of the call options ranged from
$42.84 to $43.47 per share. The call options were exercised on November 1, 1999.

Between December 30, 1997 and January 6, 1998, in privately negotiated
transactions, Genentech sold call options covering an aggregate of 220,000
shares of IDEC Common Stock. The strike prices of the call options ranged from
$44.05 to $44.61 per share. The call options were exercised on February 16,
2000.

The call options were exercised and settled in cash, and Genentech paid to the
counterparty an amount equal to (a) the number of shares subject to the call
option multiplied by (b) the positive amount determined by subtracting the call
option strike price from the market price per share of the Common Stock on the
expiration date (the "Market Price").

On December 11, 1997, in privately negotiated transactions, Genentech purchased
put options covering an aggregate of 170,000 shares of IDEC Common Stock. The
strike price of the put option was $32.42 per share. The put options were
exercised on June 1, 1999.

Between December 16, 1997 and December 29, 1997, in privately negotiated
transactions, Genentech purchased put options covering an aggregate of 190,000
shares of IDEC Common Stock. The strike prices of the put options ranged from
$32.30 to $32.78 per share. The put options were exercised on November 1, 1999.

Between December 30, 1997 and January 6, 1998, in privately negotiated
transactions, Genentech purchased put options covering an aggregate of 220,000
shares of IDEC Common Stock. The strike prices of the put options ranged from
$32.37 to $32.78 per share. The put options were exercised on February 16, 2000.



<PAGE>   6

The put options were exercised and settled in cash, and the counterparty paid to
Genentech an amount equal to (a) the number of shares subject to the put option
multiplied by (b) the positive amount determined by subtracting the Market Price
from the put option strike price.

Genentech entered into the call and put options to reduce the investment risk
associated with its rights to convert its Convertible Preferred Stock into
shares of the Common Stock. Genentech intends to engage in additional hedging
activity, which may include the sale of additional call options and the purchase
of additional put options, in connection with hedging the investment risk
associated with its conversion rights with respect to its Convertible Preferred
Stock.
