                              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 prior year condensed
      consolidated financial statements to conform with the current year's
      presentations.

2.    Net Loss/Income Per Common Share

            Net loss/income per common share has been computed by dividing net
      loss/income 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
      beginning with the annual financial statements for year ended March 31,
      1998, as early adoption is not permitted. 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 September 30, 1997 are approximately
      $80,000 of money market funds and approximately $2,800,000 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:

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 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 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.


                                       7
<PAGE>

            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 periods ended September 30, 1997
      and 1996 were $503,000 and $981,000, respectively, a decrease of
      approximately 49%. Year to date total revenues decreased approximately 35%
      to $1,179,000 at September 30, 1997 from $1,822,000 at September 30, 1996.
      This decrease is largely attributable to the one-time sales of securities
      and equipment for approximately $505,000 reported as "Other Income" in the
      six month period ended September 30, 1996.

            Research and development revenues for the three month period ended
      September 30, 1997 were $166,000 compared to $193,000 in the comparable
      fiscal 1997 period. In the first six months of fiscal 1998, the Company
      recorded research and development revenues totaling $424,000 consisting
      primarily of approximately $264,000 from contracted research and
      development programs and $160,000 from licensing revenues. In the first
      six months of fiscal 1997, research and development revenues were
      $450,000.

            Product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
      1996 were $257,000 and $395,000, respectively, and were $539,000 and
      $621,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996,
      respectively. This decrease is attributed to the timing of large
      production scale orders of Protein A.

            Investment income decreased in fiscal 1998 over the comparable three
      month period in fiscal 1997 primarily due to lower average funds available
      for interest. In the first six months of fiscal 1998 investment income is
      $115,000 compared to $108,000 in the six months ended September 30, 1996
      primarily due to the sale of marketable securities held by the Company
      during the six months ending September 30, 1997.

            Other revenues for the three and six month periods ended September
      30, 1997 decreased from the comparable fiscal 1997 periods primarily due
      to the Company's one-time sales of equipment and furnishings of
      approximately $205,000 and non-investment securities of approximately
      $300,000 during fiscal 1997.

Expenses

            Total expenses for the three month periods ended September 30, 1997
      and 1996 increased 3% to $745,000 from $723,000 and decreased 23% to
      $1,564,000 from $2,032,000 for the six months ended September 30, 1997 and
      1996, respectively.

            Research and development expenses for the three months ended
      September 30, 1997 and 1996 were $351,000 and $371,000, a decrease of 5%.
      For the six months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, research and
      development expenses were $714,000 and $694,000, an increase of 3%. This
      increase is largely attributable to increased staffing levels during
      fiscal 1998 offset by decreases in rent generated by the move to a new
      facility in fiscal 1997.

            Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month and
      six month periods ended September 30, 1997 were $315,000 and $622,000,
      respectively, which reflects a decrease of $37,000 and $564,000 from the
      comparable 1997 periods. These decreases resulted from the reduction of
      administrative personnel and related expenses as part of the Company's
      cost reduction


                                       8

      efforts during the first six months of fiscal 1997.

            Cost of goods sold for the three month and six month periods ended
      September 30, 1997 were $79,000 and $228,000 respectively, as compared to
      $0 and $152,000 for the three and six months ended September 30, 1996.
      Cost of goods sold in the three month periods ended September 30, 1997 and
      1996 were 31% and 0% of product revenues. The decrease in cost of goods
      sold from the quarter ended June 30, 1997 of 53% to 31% at the three month
      period at September 30, 1997 is attributable to product mix. In the six
      month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, cost of goods sold was
      42% and 24% of product sales. The increase in cost of sales as a
      percentage of revenue is primarily a result of the realization of
      inventory that had been previously reserved for in the three month and six
      month period ended September 30, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

            The Company's total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities
      decreased to $3,097,000 at September 30, 1997 from $3,538,000 at March 31,
      1997, a decrease of $441,000 or 12%. The decrease reflects net losses
      during the six month period ended September 30, 1997 of approximately
      $385,000, an increase in inventory of $111,000, the reduction of accounts
      payable and accrued expenses of $251,000, offset in part by the reduction
      in accounts receivables and prepaid expenses of $317,000. Working capital
      decreased to $3,694,000 at September 30, 1997 from $3,990,000 at March 31,
      1997.

            During the quarter, the Company entered into a $450,000 note
      receivable with a licensee for past due licensing fees. As the Company has
      historically recorded licensing fees under this agreement on a cash basis,
      the Company has not recorded this note receivable as an asset. The note
      requires full payment of principal and interest in August 1998. The
      Company will continue to record this license fee on a cash basis.

            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 its
      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.
