                              REPLIGEN CORPORATION
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (Unaudited)

1.    Basis of Presentation

          The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have
      been prepared by Repligen Corporation (the "Company" or "Repligen"),
      pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
      Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and do not include all of
      the information and footnote disclosures required by generally accepted
      accounting principles. These financial statements should be read in
      conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
      included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ending March 31, 1997.

          In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
      statements include all adjustments consisting of only normal, recurring
      adjustments necessary to present fairly, the consolidated financial
      position, results of operations and cash flows. 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.

          Reclassifications have been made in condensed consolidated financial
      statements to conform with the current year's presentations.

2.    Net Loss Per Common Share

         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 amounts
      would be antidilutive.

         In February 1997 the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS
      No. 128 Earnings Per Share, which requires a new method of calculating
      earnings per share (EPS). The Company will be required to use this method
      for fiscal 1998. The Company anticipates that reported EPS will be
      unchanged from amounts presented in the statement of operations.

3.    Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

         The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
      three months or less at the time of acquisition to be cash equivalents.
      Included in cash equivalents at June 30, 1997 are $200,000 of money market
      funds and approximately $3,180,000 of commercial paper. Investments with a
      maturity period of greater than three months are classified as marketable
      securities.

4.    Inventories

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

         Work in process and finished goods inventories consist of material,
      labor, outside processing and manufacturing overhead.


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 $3,300,000 in settlement fees to the facility
      landlord and equipment lessors, which included 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 $1,250,000.


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 facts constitute
      "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
      Litigation Reform Act of 1996. 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.

Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

         The Company's future operating results are subject to risks and
      uncertainties and are dependent upon many factors, including, without
      limitation, the Company's ability to (i) meet its working capital and
      future liquidity needs, (ii) successfully implement its restructuring and
      strategic growth strategies, (iii) understand, anticipate and respond to
      rapidly changing technologies and market trends, (iv) develop, manufacture
      and deliver high quality, technologically advanced products on a timely
      basis to withstand competition from competitors which may have greater
      financial, information gathering and marketing resources than the Company,
      (v) obtain and protect licensing and intellectual property rights
      necessary for the Company's technology and product development on


                                       7

      terms favorable to the Company, and (vi) recruit and retain highly
      talented professionals in a competitive job market. Each of these factors,
      and others, are discussed from time to time in the filings made by the
      Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

         Repligen Corporation ("Repligen" or the "Company") redirected its focus
      in March of 1996 from the clinical development of biological products to
      the development of enabling technology for the discovery of new drugs. The
      Company is developing technology to increase the efficiency of the process
      by which new drug candidates are identified. These technologies include
      rapid methods for the synthesis of chemical compound libraries, novel
      detection technology for identifying active compounds in drug screening
      and specific screening assays based on defined biological targets. In
      selected therapeutic areas, Repligen is applying its technology to the
      discovery of proprietary drug leads capable of blocking biologically
      important protein-protein and protein-carbohydrate interactions.

         Repligen also manufactures and markets a line of products for the
      production of monoclonal antibodies intended for human clinical use. These
      products are based on a recombinant form of Protein A for which Repligen
      holds patents in the United States and major foreign markets. In addition,
      the Company is seeking to license to third parties certain intellectual
      property and other assets of the Company pertaining to its earlier
      research and clinical development programs.

Results of Operations

Revenues

         Total revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
      were $676,000 and $840,000, respectively, a decrease of approximately 20%.
      This decrease is largely attributable to the one-time sale for
      approximately $300,000 of non-investment securities held by the Company
      reported as other income in the three month period ending June 30, 1996.

         Research and development revenues for the three month period ended June
      30, 1997 were $258,000 compared to $257,000 in the comparable fiscal 1997
      period. Research and development revenue was generated under research
      agreements with Pfizer Inc., Cambridge NeuroScience, Inc. and Glaxo
      Wellcome plc. Revenues for the quarter ending June 30, 1997 include a
      licensing fee received from Immunomedics, Inc. pursuant to an agreement to
      license certain of Repligen's technology for production of antibodies.
      Under this licensing agreement, Repligen will receive royalties if a
      product using this technology is commercialized by Immunomedics.

         Product revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 and
      1996 were $282,000 and $226,000, respectively, a 25% increase in product
      sales. The increase in product sales is attributable to an increase in
      sales of the Protein A product line.

         Investment income increased in fiscal 1998 over the comparable three
      period in fiscal 1997 primarily due to higher interest generated on funds
      available for investment.

         Other revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 decreased
      from the comparable fiscal 1996 period primarily due to the sale of
      non-investment securities held by the Company for approximately $300,000
      reported as other income in the three month period ending June 30, 1996.

Expenses

         Total expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
      decreased 37% to $819,000 from $1,309,000. 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 resulted in savings in rent and
      related facility costs. 


                                       8

<PAGE>

         Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30,
      1997 and 1996 were $364,000 and $324,000. The increase in expenses in
      fiscal 1998 from the comparable period in fiscal 1997 reflects increased
      staffing in research and development.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month period
      ended June 30, 1997 were $354,000 which reflects a decrease of $524,000
      from the comparable fiscal 1997 period. These decreases resulted from the
      reduction of administrative personnel and related expenses as part of the
      Company's cost reduction efforts during fiscal 1997

         Cost of goods sold for the three month period ended June 30, 1997 were
      $149,000 compared to $152,000 for the three month period ended June 30,
      1996. Cost of goods sold in the three months ended June 30, 1997 and 1996
      were 53% and 67% of product revenues. This decrease is attributable to the
      cost efficiencies gained in the new manufacturing facility opened in late
      1996.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

         The Company's total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
      decreased to $3,495,000 at June 30, 1997 from $3,538,000 at March 31,
      1997, a decrease of $43,000 or 1%. The decrease reflects net losses during
      the three month period ended June 30, 1997 of approximately $143,000, the
      reduction of accounts payable and accrued expenses of $95,000, offset in
      part by the reduction in accounts receivables and prepaid expenses of
      $193,000. Working capital decreased to $3,905,000 at June 30, 1997 from
      $3,990,000 at March 31, 1997.

         The Company has funded operations primarily with cash derived from the
      sales of its equity securities, revenue derived from research and
      development contracts, product sales, investment income and the sale of
      the Company's share of a joint venture. The Company believes it has
      sufficient cash equivalents and marketable securities to satisfy working
      capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twenty-four
      months. Should the Company need to secure additional financing to meet its
      future liquidity requirements, there can be no assurances that the Company
      will be able to secure such financing, or that such financing, if
      available, will be on terms favorable to the Company. Management believes
      that the Company's current operations are not materially impacted by the
      effects of inflation.


Item 4.   SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS.

         The Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") was
