1.       Significant Accounting Policies

         BASIS OF PRESENTATION.  The accompanying consolidated condensed
         financial statements are unaudited.  In the opinion of management, all
         adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these financial
         statements have been included.  Such adjustments consisted only of
         normal recurring items.  Interim results are not necessarily
         indicative of results for a full year.  Certain amounts in the prior
         period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
         current period presentation.  The consolidated condensed financial
         statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
         consolidated financial statements and related footnotes for the year
         ended November 30, 1993.

         CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.  The Company changed its fiscal year end from
         November 30 to December 31 effective January 1, 1994.  The one month
         transition period ended December 31, 1993 is presented separately in
         the accompanying financial statements.  Comparative condensed income
         statement data for the one month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 
         1992 is presented below (unaudited - in thousands except per share

         MARKETABLE SECURITIES.  The Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in
         Debt and Equity Securities" (SFAS No. 115) effective January 1, 1994.
         Accordingly, at January 1, 1994, the Company's cash equivalents were
         classified as held-to-maturity (recorded at amortized cost) and its
         marketable securities were classified as available-for-sale (recorded
         at fair value).  The cumulative effect of implementing SFAS No. 115
         was to record a net unrealized gain of $2.6 million on
         available-for-sale securities.  Under SFAS No. 115, such net
         unrealized holding gains or losses are recorded in shareholders'
         equity.  For periods prior to fiscal 1994, marketable securities are
         recorded at cost which approximates market.  In computing realized
         gain or loss, the cost of securities sold is based on average cost.
         The estimated fair value of marketable securities is based primarily
         on market quotations.

2.       Transactions with American Home Products Corporation

         On September 19, 1991, the Company and American Home Products
         Corporation ("AHP") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the
         "AHP Transaction") that was consummated on January 16, 1992.  In
         connection with the AHP Transaction, the Company issued 9,466,709 new
         shares of Common Stock to AHP for an aggregate purchase price of
         approximately $300.0 million and, for shares of common stock owned,
         the Company's shareholders received a combination of cash and
         Depositary Shares subject to a call option.  Under the terms of the
         call option, AHP has the right but not the obligation, to purchase the
         outstanding Depositary Shares that it does not own, in whole but not
         in part, at any time until December 31, 1996, at call prices beginning
         at $66.58 per share for the period April 1, 1994 to June 30, 1994 and
         increasing by approximately $1.84 on a quarterly basis to $85.00 per
         share for the quarter ending December 31, 1996.

                                  (unaudited)

         Independent of its right to call the Depositary Shares, AHP is
         permitted by the terms of the agreements with the Company to acquire
         additional Depositary Shares through open market purchases or
         privately negotiated purchases, provided that its aggregate holdings
         do not exceed 75% of the Company's outstanding equity, subject to
         certain exceptions.  As of March 31, 1994, AHP had purchased 947,000
         additional Depositary Shares through such purchases.  In addition, in
         connection with the call for redemption of the Company's Convertible
         Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock") on July 15, 1993,
         holders of Preferred Stock elected to convert 1,136,815 shares, or
         approximately 99% of the outstanding shares of such stock, into
         1,624,021 shares of Genetics Institute Common Stock which, pursuant to
         the AHP Transaction, were exchanged for the same combination of cash
         and Depositary Shares received by holders of Genetics Institute Common
         Stock in the AHP Transaction.  Pursuant to agreements with AHP, the
         Company issued to AHP 14,864 shares of Common Stock, the proceeds of
         which funded the cash required for the redemption of the 8,490 shares
         of Preferred Stock not converted.  As of March 31, 1994, such
         transactions have brought AHP's total ownership position in the
         Company to approximately 64%.

         Collaborative research and development revenue for the three month
         periods ended March 31, 1994 and February 28, 1993 and the month ended
         December 31, 1993 includes $1.5 million, $3.5 million and $0.5
         million, respectively, relating to a collaboration with Wyeth-Ayerst
         Laboratories, the pharmaceutical division of AHP, in the area of
         cellular adhesion proteins.

3.       Investments in Debt Securities

         The Company's portfolio of debt securities consists of cash
         equivalents classified as held-to-maturity and marketable securities
         classified as available-for-sale.  Aggregate fair values, amortized
         cost and average maturity for marketable securities held at March 31,
         1994 are presented below.  The average maturities presented below
         include estimates of the effective life for certain securities whose
         actual maturities will differ from contractual maturities because the
         borrowers have the right to call or prepay the obligations without
         call or prepayment penalties.

5.       Contingencies

         The Company has been engaged in legal proceedings relating to the
         amount of damages payable by the Company as the result of the holding
         of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit that the Company
         infringed a U.S. patent of Amgen, Inc.  ("Amgen") relating to
         recombinant human erythropoietin ("rhEPO").  On May 11, 1993, the
         Company and Amgen announced that they had agreed to settle all
         outstanding claims of Amgen against the Company in the United States
         relating to rhEPO.

         In August 1991, Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Ortho"), a licensee
         of Kirin-Amgen, Inc.'s rhEPO patents, initiated infringement
         proceedings against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the
         District of Massachusetts.  Ortho moved to consolidate the case with
         the infringement suit brought by Amgen.   Upon motion by the Company
         and Amgen, Ortho's claims were dismissed and Ortho has appealed the
         District Court's decision.  A decision on the Ortho appeal is pending.
         The Company and Amgen also jointly moved to dismiss similar claims
         brought by Ortho against the Company in the U.S. District Court for
         the Central District of California in 1989, and the court granted the
         motion on March 16, 1994.  The Company can provide no assurances as to
         the outcome of the dispute with Ortho.

         The Company and its licensees are engaged in various patent litigation
         proceedings in Europe related to rhEPO.  Beginning in 1991, Ortho and
         certain Ortho affiliates initiated patent infringement litigation in
         Europe against Boehringer Mannheim, the Company's European rhEPO
         licensee, based on a  European rhEPO patent issued to Kirin-Amgen,
         Inc. ("Kirin-Amgen"), its licensor.  The suits have included requests
         for damages and/or injunctive relief.  Boehringer Mannheim filed suits
         against Ortho and/or its affiliates in Europe for infringement of the
         Company's European purified and rhEPO patents.  This litigation has
         expanded into many of the European Community countries in Boehringer
         Mannheim's territory.  In some countries, where the patentee is a
         legally necessary party to a suit to enforce a patent, the Company has
         joined as a plaintiff.  The Company is also a defendant to a suit in
         the United Kingdom brought by an Ortho affiliate seeking to invalidate
         and revoke the Company's rhEPO patents in the United Kingdom, and
         similar proceedings have been brought in Germany and Italy seeking to
         revoke the Company's rhEPO patents granted in the former East Germany
         and Italy, respectively.  If the courts rule in Ortho's favor in these
         suits, including issuing an injunction against the future manufacture
         or sale of rhEPO by Boehringer Mannheim, or if this litigation is
         otherwise concluded in a manner adverse to Boehringer Mannheim or the
         Company, future royalty income from rhEPO in Europe, which totaled
         approximately $7.5 million in fiscal 1993, could be reduced or
         eliminated.

         The Company is engaged in a patent interference proceeding among the
         Company, Genentech, Inc. and Chiron Corporation concerning the Factor
         VIII patent rights which are cross-licensed between Baxter (the
         Company's licensee) and Genentech, Inc.  While the Company believes it
         or Genentech should prevail in the interference, no assurance can be
         given as to the outcome of this interference.  Any disposition of this
         proceeding in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its licensee
         could have a material adverse effect on the Company's future
         consolidated results of operations.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW
Genetics Institute, Inc. is principally engaged in discovering, developing and
commercializing protein-based therapeutic products using recombinant DNA and
related technologies.  Significant volatility has been associated with the
business and operations of biopharmaceutical companies.  Developments by the
Company or its competitors concerning technological innovations, new commercial
products, results of clinical trials, patents, proprietary rights and related
infringement disputes, results of litigation and the expense and time
associated with obtaining requisite government approvals may have a significant
impact on the Company's business.

The Company's consolidated results of operations have fluctuated from period to
period and may continue to fluctuate in the near-term as a result of the
timing of production and shipment of bulk protein products, changes in the
timing and composition of funding under its collaborative research and
development agreements, the ability to consummate new collaborative agreements,
royalty income (and the impact of infringement litigation on royalty income),
interest income  and the amount of expenditures committed to self-funded
research and development programs.

The Company and American Home Products Corporation ("AHP") entered into a
transaction (the "AHP Transaction") through which AHP acquired a majority
interest in the Company effective January 16, 1992 (see Note 2 of Notes to
Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements).

The Company changed its fiscal year to a calendar year effective January 1,
1994.  Results for December 1993 are included in these financial statements as
a transition period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 1994 and February 28, 1993 and One Month Periods
Ended December 31, 1993 and 1992.  The Company reported a net loss of $10.1
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1994 compared with a net loss of $2.2
million for the first quarter of fiscal 1993.  For the one month periods ended
December 31, 1993 and 1992, the Company reported a net loss of $4.4 million and
net income of $1.9 million, respectively.  The increases in the net loss for
both the three month and one month periods are due primarily to the one-time
recognition of $3.9 million of product revenue in December 1992 as discussed
below, the timing of recognition of certain collaborative research and
development revenue, and significant expansion of the Company's product
development activities and discovery research programs throughout fiscal 1993.
With three products presently in clinical trials and two others anticipated to
enter clinical trials within the next twelve months, the Company expects to
incur an operating loss for this fiscal year.

The Company's revenues include product revenue from the supply of recombinant
antihemophilic factor concentrate ("rhAHF"), royalties resulting from the sale
of products by marketing partners and collaborative research and development
revenue for activities conducted under the Company's agreements with its
various collaborative partners.  Revenues increased 7%, or $1.8 million, from
the first quarter of fiscal 1993 to the first quarter of fiscal 1994 due to
increases in product sales and royalties, partly offset by decreases in
collaborative research and development revenue.  In December 1992, the Food and
Drug Administration approved the Company's rhAHF product and Baxter Healthcare
Corporation's ("Baxter") finished rhAHF product.  Product revenue represents
commercial sales of rhAHF to Baxter and, in accordance with the Company's
supply contract with Baxter, included $3.9 million of manufacturing profit
recorded in December 1992 relating to shipments of rhAHF to Baxter made prior
to the December 1992 commercial approval date.  Pre-commercial shipments of
rhAHF were originally billed to Baxter at cost.  The increases in product
revenue, excluding the manufacturing profit recognized upon commercial product
approval of rhAHF in December 1992, were due to increases in the volume of
rhAHF shipped to Baxter.  The increase in royalty revenue is principally due to
increases in the volume of collaborative partners' sales of finished drug
product.  The net decrease in collaborative research and development revenue is
                                      -7-

<PAGE>   10
                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

principally due to a lower level of benchmark revenues  and a lower level of
expenditures reimbursable from the Company's collaborative partner in the
rhM-CSF program.  In the first quarter of fiscal l993, benchmark fees were
received from Baxter for commercial approval of rhAHF and from Boehringer
Mannheim in connection with its own manufacture of rhEPO.

Operating expenses increased 21%, or $6.8 million, from the first quarter of
fiscal 1993 to the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and 38%, or $3.4 million, from
the December 1992 to the December 1993 one month periods.  The increases were
primarily attributable to higher staffing levels in the discovery research and
product development areas of the Company and higher cost of sales relating to
increased commercial shipments of rhAHF to Baxter, partly offset by lower
litigation costs in fiscal 1994.  Cost of sales includes royalties payable to
third parties upon the receipt of certain royalty revenues from collaborative
partners. Such third party royalties totaled $1.2 million and $0.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1994 and February 28, 1993, respectively, and
were not material for the December periods.  Cost of product sales (excluding
third party royalties), as a percentage of product sales (excluding the $3.9
million of one-time manufacturing profit recognized in the first quarter of
fiscal 1993 discussed above), was 49% and 60% for the three months ended March
31, 1994 and February 28, 1993, respectively, and 49% for the December 1993
period.  The decreases in such costs from fiscal l993 were due to lower unit
manufacturing costs.

Other income, net decreased 59% or $2.8 million from the first quarter of
fiscal 1993 to the first quarter of fiscal 1994 and 51% or $0.6 million from
the December 1992 to the December 1993 one month periods.  The decreases
reflect (i) lower investment income due to lower investments in cash
equivalents and marketable securities and (ii) an increase in the Company's
equity in the net losses of GI-Yamanouchi, Inc. due to expansion of development
activities in Japan.  The Company expects the level of investment income to
continue to decrease as cash is used to fund capital expenditures and working
capital requirements.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company is engaged in a number of legal proceedings.  See Note 5 of Notes
to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements which is incorporated by
reference herein.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash and marketable securities totaled $286.1 million at March 31, 1994, a
decrease of $5.4 million from November 30, 1993.  This decrease included a
non-cash unrealized loss on marketable securities of $4.3 million and a net use
of cash of $1.1 million.  The net use of cash primarily reflects capital
expenditures of $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1994 and $4.7
million for the month ended December 31, 1993, partly offset by $9.9 million of
cash received in December 1993 from the sale-leaseback of certain equipment.
Approximately $32.8 million has been expended for facilities expansion and
improvement projects in progress as of March 31, 1994, which are expected to
cost approximately $55.0 million in the aggregate through fiscal 1994.

The Company expects that its available cash and marketable securities, together
with investment income, operating revenues and lease and debt financing
arrangements, will be sufficient to finance its working capital and capital
requirements for the foreseeable future.  Over the next several years, the
Company's  cash requirements will be subject to change depending upon numerous
factors including the level of capital expenditures, the amount of expenditures
committed to self-funded research and development programs, the results of
research and development activities, competitive and technological
developments, the levels of resources which the Company devotes to the
expansion of its clinical testing, manufacturing and  marketing capabilities
and the timing and cost of obtaining required regulatory approvals for new
products.
