                              REPLIGEN CORPORATION
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)


1.   Basis of Presentation

          The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
      Repligen Corporation (the "Company" or "Repligen") without audit, pursuant
      to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
      Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
      financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
      accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such
      rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that the disclosures
      made are adequate to ensure that the information presented is not
      misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
      conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
      included in the Company's 1996 Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and
      Exchange Commission.

          This financial information includes all adjustments (consisting of
      normal, recurring adjustments) which the Company considers necessary for a
      fair presentation of such information. The results of operations for the
      interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be
      expected for the entire year.

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
      accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
      assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses
      during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
      estimates.

          The Company has incurred significant operating losses since inception
      and has undergone significant restructuring of its operations in fiscal
      1996 and 1995. During 1996, the Company completed a major downsizing and
      consolidation of its activities, including the termination of certain
      research programs, in an effort to stabilize its financial condition and
      preserve its cash resources.


2.   Net Loss Per Common Share

          Primary net loss per common share has been computed by dividing net
      loss by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the
      period. Common stock equivalents have not been included for any period as
      the effect would be antidilutive. Fully diluted net loss per common share
      has not been presented for any period as the amounts would not differ from
      primary net loss per common share.


3.   Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

          The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original
      maturities of three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash
      equivalents. Included in cash equivalents at June 30, 1996 are $2,731,000
      of money market funds and $300,000 of commercial paper. Investments with a
      maturity period of greater than three months are classified as marketable
      securities and consist of $217,000 of collateralized mortgage obligations
      at June 30, 1996. These securities are reported at amortized cost, which
      approximates fair market value at June 30, 1996.

4.   Inventories

          Inventories are stated at the lower of cost  (first-in,  first-out) or
      market and consist of the following:
                                                 June 30,      March 31,
                                                   1996          1996
                                                 ---------     -------

           Raw materials and work-in-process      $  80,000   $   1,955
           Finished goods                           469,794     699,269
                                                  ---------   ---------
                                                  $ 549,794   $ 701,224
                                                  =========   =========

          Work in process and finished goods inventories consist of material,
      labor and manufacturing overhead. The decrease in finished goods
      inventories is due primarily to sales of the Company's Protein A products.


5.   Restructuring of Operations

          During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, the Company completed a
      major downsizing and consolidation of its operations in an effort to
      stabilize its financial condition and preserve its cash resources. The
      restructuring included a substantial reduction in the Company's work
      force, the termination of several research programs and the closing of its
      Cambridge research and manufacturing facility. During the fourth quarter
      of fiscal 1996, the Company recorded a charge of $3,567,000 to cover
      severance costs and related benefits, the settlement of operating
      equipment lease and facility lease obligations, the write-off of certain
      leasehold improvements and equipment no longer being utilized, reduced in
      part by cash received from the sale of assets and the reversal of certain
      accruals no longer required.

          During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, ended June 30, 1996, the
      Company paid approximately $300,000 and $3,033,000 in settlement fees to
      the facility landlord and equipment lessors, respectively. The settlement
      fees with respect to the operating equipment lease agreements represent
      discounted remaining lease obligations and the purchase price of certain
      leased equipment from the equipment lessors. In May 1996, a substantial
      amount of this equipment originally on lease as well as certain surplus
      Company owned equipment was sold at public auction for approximately
      $1,314,000, net of selling expenses.

          In addition to the settlement payment of $300,000 made to the facility
      landlord, the Company was also required to set aside $250,000 of
      restricted cash in an escrow account. These funds are to be invested by
      the Company, with the landlord's prior approval, in leasehold
      improvements, primarily refurbishment of laboratory spaces at its Needham
      Massachusetts headquarters.

          The accrued restructuring activity for the three-month period ended
      June 30, 1996 and the year ended March 31, 1996 is as follows:

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

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

          Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under this caption,
      "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
      of Operations," as well as oral statements that may be made by the Company
      or by officers, directors or employees of the Company acting on the
      Company's behalf, that are not historical fact constitute "forward-looking
      statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
      Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown
      risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the actual results
      of the Company to be materially different from the historical results or
      from any results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.


Fiscal 1996 Restructuring

          During the fiscal year ended March 31,1996, the Company completed a
      major downsizing and consolidation of its operations in an effort to
      stabilize its financial condition and preserve its cash resources. The
      restructuring included a substantial reduction in the Company's work
      force, the termination of several research programs and the closing of its
      Cambridge research and manufacturing facility. The Company's research and
      development programs are now primarily focused on the development of new
      therapies for chronic and acute inflammation and immunosuppression and the
      development of enabling technologies for discovery of new drugs by rapid
      screening of combinatorial chemical libraries. As of June 30, 1996,
      Repligen had approximately 15 employees including five with doctoral
      degrees. The Company's strategy is to use internal resources for research
      and preclinical studies and to use pharmaceutical companies or third party
      contractors to provide manufacturing and clinical development support and
      for certain administrative functions. Significant expansion of the
      Company's research or clinical development efforts is dependent on future
      financing or new partnerships with pharmaceutical companies. As a result
      of the reduction of operating expenses and elimination of debt, the
      Company believes it has adequate cash reserves at June 30, 1996 to sustain
      its operations at their current levels for at least the next twenty-four
      months.


Results of Operations


Revenues -

          Total revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1996 were
      $840,000 as compared to $2,836,000 in the comparable fiscal 1996 period.

          In the fiscal 1997 period, the Company recorded research and
      development revenues totaling $257,000, consisting of (1) $65,000 and
      $50,000 from Pfizer, Inc. and Glaxo Wellcom plc., respectively for work
      performed by the Company's Glycan subsidiary, (2) licensing revenue of
      $30,000 from Immunomedics and $50,000 from Neocrin Company, (3)
      approximately $36,000 of revenue received from the Partnership for
      promotional activities performed by the Company on behalf of the
      Partnership's rPF4 program, and (4) $26,000 of other research and
      development revenue.

          Product revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
      1995 were $226,000 and $392,000, respectively. Product revenue for the
      first quarter of fiscal 1997


<PAGE>

      decreased over the similar fiscal 1996 period due primarily to the timing
      of Protein A product shipments.

          Investment income decreased in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 over
      the comparable three month period in fiscal 1996 primarily because of
      lower average funds available for investment.

          Other revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1996
      increased from the comparable fiscal 1996 period primarily because of the
      one-time sale of non-investment securities held by the Company for
      approximately $300,000.

Expenses -

          During fiscal 1996, the Company substantially restructured its
      operations, resulting in a significant reduction in its current rate of
      expenditures. In May 1996, the Company relocated its headquarters
      operations from Cambridge, Massachusetts to approximately 13,000 square
      feet of subleased office and laboratory space in Needham, Massachusetts.
      This move has resulted in a substantial savings in rent and related
      facility costs. If the move had been effective as of April 1, 1996,
      expenses during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 1996 would have been
      lower by approximately $316,000.

          Total expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
      1995 were $1,309,000 and $5,475,000, respectively. The decrease in
      expenses in the three month fiscal 1997 period reflects lower operating
      costs as a result of the fiscal 1996 restructuring efforts, including
      significantly lower headcounts.

          Research and development expenses for the three month periods ended
      June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $324,000 and $3,778,000, respectively. The
      decreased expenses in the first quarter of fiscal 1997 from the comparable
      period in fiscal 1996 reflect the Company's efforts to reduce costs.

          Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month
      periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 were $834,000 and $1,347,000, which
      reflects a decrease in administrative personnel and related expenses as
      part of the Company's cost reduction efforts.

          Cost of goods sold for the three month periods ended June 30, 1996 and
      1995 were $152,000 and $290,000, respectively. Cost of goods sold in the
      three month periods were 67% and 74% of product revenues, respectively.
      The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue are primarily a
      result of a change in product mix between the two periods.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

          The Company's total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
      decreased to $3,317,000 at June 30, 1996 from $7,222,000 at March 31,
      1996, a decrease of $3,905,000 or 54%. The decrease reflects net operating
      losses during the three month period of approximately $469,000, the
      reduction of accounts payable of $370,000 and the net payment of accrued
      restructuring expenses of $2,469,000 (see note 5 of notes to consolidated
      financial statements), offset in part by the reduction in receivables and
      inventories of $270,000. Working capital decreased to $3,418,000 at June
      30, 1996 from $4,154,000 at March 31, 1996.

          The Company has funded operations primarily with cash derived from the
      sales of its equity securities, research and development contracts,
      product sales, investment income, proceeds from a term loan with a bank,
      the sale of the Company's share of a joint venture and leasing of certain
      equipment.


<PAGE>

          In May 1992, the Company entered into a research and development
      agreement with Lilly which provided $1,313,000 in research funding during
      the three-month period ended June 30, 1995. In September 1995, Lilly
      terminated its collaboration and licensing agreement with the Company.

          The Company has received research and development funding and a 10%
      management fee from the Partnership pursuant to the Product Development
      Agreement. In April 1996, the Company announced the termination of the
      Product Development Agreement and the Purchase Agreement with the
      Partnership. Under the terms of the various agreements between the
      parties, the rights to the rPF4 technologies remain with the Partnership.
      The Company recognized revenue from the Partnership in the three month
      periods ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 of $36,000 and $771,000,
      respectively.
