     This Amendment No. 1 to Rule 13e-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3
("Amendment") relates to the offer by  Neozyme II Acquisition Corp. (the 
"Purchaser"), a British Virgin Islands ("BVI") international business company 
and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme"), a 
Massachusetts corporation, to purchase all of the outstanding units ("the 
Units"), each consisting of one share of Callable Common Stock, par value $1.00
per share, of Neozyme II Corporation (the "Company"), a BVI international 
business company, and one Callable Warrant to purchase two shares of General 
Division common stock, par value $.01 per share, and 0.135 share of Tissue 
Repair Division common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Genzyme at a 
purchase price of $45.00 per Unit, net to the seller in cash, without interest 
thereon, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to
Purchase dated September 27, 1996 (the "Offer to Purchase") and in the related 
Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of Transmittal," which, together with the 
Offer to Purchase, as each may be amended or supplemented, constitute the 
"Offer"). The Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal were filed as 
Exhibits (d)(1) and (d)(2), respectively, to the Rule 13e-3 Transaction 
Statement on Schedule 13E-3 filed by the Company, Genzyme and the Purchaser on 
September 27, 1996.
 

ITEM 3.  PAST CONTRACTS, TRANSACTIONS OR NEGOTIATIONS.

     The response to Item 3 is hereby amended by adding the following 
information regarding the background of the transaction:

     In connection with negotiations of the price to be paid for the Shares in
the Second Step Transaction, Mr. McLachlan and other representatives of Genzyme
met on September 17, 1996 with representatives of Robertson, Stephens & Company
to review the valuation analysis performed by Robertson, Stephens & Company and
to discuss possible ranges of value for Neozyme II and the Callable Warrants.
Following these discussions, Genzyme determined to make a proposal to pay $29.00
per Share in cash in the Second Step Transaction. At Mr. McLachlan's request,
representatives of Robertson, Stephens & Company communicated this proposal to
representatives of Hambrecht & Quist, who indicated on a preliminary basis,
subject to review of the proposal with the Special Committee, that they believed
the proposal would be acceptable. As described more fully in the Offer to
Purchase, on September 20, 1996, the Special Committee unanimously determined
that the Offer and the Second Step Transaction were fair to, and in the best
interests of, the Holders and recommended that the Neozyme II Board of Directors
approve the Offer and the Second Step Transaction.

ITEM 7.  PURPOSE(S), ALTERNATIVES, REASONS AND EFFECTS.

     The response to Item 7 is hereby amended by adding the information set 
forth under Item 3 of this Amendment.

Confidential

The Special Committee of The Board of Directors
The Board of Directors
Neozyme II Corporation
Todman Building

Road Town, Tortola

Gentlemen:

You have requested our opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of
view to the holders of the outstanding shares of callable common stock, par
value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"), of Neozyme II Corporation ("Neozyme" or
the "Company") of the consideration to be received by such holders in
connection with a proposed transaction (the "Proposed Transaction") pursuant to
which an affiliate of Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") will offer to purchase
the outstanding units of Neozyme (the "Units") at a purchase price of $45.00
per Unit in cash (the "Offer"). As of the date hereof, all of the outstanding
Common Stock is owned as part of a Unit, each of which consists of (i) one
share of Common Stock and (ii) one callable warrant to purchase two shares of
Genzyme General Division Common Stock and 0.135 shares of Genzyme Tissue Repair
Division Common Stock. The Offer will be made by means of offering documents
(the "Offer Documents") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If the Offer is consummated, but not all of the Units are tendered and accepted
or, if the Offer is terminated in accordance with Section 1.1(b)(ii) of the
Purchase Agreement, Genzyme has, pursuant to a Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase
Agreement") dated as of September 20, 1996, agreed to effect a second step
transaction (the "Second Step Transaction") in which Genzyme will acquire,
directly or indirectly, all of the remaining Common Stock in exchange for cash
in an amount equal to $29.00 per share of Common Stock.

Hambrecht & Quist LLC ("Hambrecht & Quist"), as part of its investment banking
services, is regularly engaged in the valuation of businesses and their
securities in connection with mergers and acquisitions, strategic transactions,
corporate restructurings, negotiated underwritings, secondary distributions of
listed and unlisted securities, private placements and valuations for corporate
and other purposes. We have acted as a financial advisor to the Special
Committee of the Board of Directors of Neozyme in connection with the Proposed
Transaction, and we will receive a fee for our services, which include the
rendering of this opinion.

We are familiar with Genzyme and have, from time to time, provided financial
advisory services to Genzyme, and we have received fees for rendering these
services. In July 1996, we acted as managing underwriter for a public offering
of Genzyme Transgenics Corporation, an affiliate of Genzyme. In the ordinary
course of business, Hambrecht & Quist acts as a market maker and broker in the
publicly traded securities of Neozyme and Genzyme and receives customary
compensation in connection therewith, and also provides research coverage for
Genzyme. In the ordinary course of business, Hambrecht & Quist actively trades
in the equity securities of Neozyme and Genzyme for its own account and for the
accounts of its customers and, accordingly, may at any time hold a long or
short position in such securities. Hambrecht & Quist may in the future provide
additional investment banking or other financial advisory services to Genzyme.

In connection with our review of the Proposed Transaction, and in arriving at
our opinion, we have, among other things:

     (i)     reviewed the publicly available consolidated financial statements
             of Neozyme for recent years and interim periods to date and certain
             other relevant financial and operating data of Neozyme made
             available to us from published sources and from the internal
             records of Neozyme;

     (ii)    discussed with certain members of the managements of Neozyme and
             Genzyme the business, financial condition and prospects of Neozyme;

     (iii)   reviewed the publicly available consolidated financial statements
             of Genzyme for recent years and interim periods to date;

     (iv)    reviewed certain internal financial and operating information,
             including certain projections, relating to Neozyme prepared by the
             management of Genzyme;

     (v)     reviewed the recent reported prices and trading activity for the
             Common Stock and compared such information and certain financial
             information of Neozyme with similar information for certain other
             companies engaged in businesses we considered comparable to that of
             Neozyme;

     (vi)    reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of
             certain comparable acquisition transactions;

     (viii)  reviewed drafts of the Purchase Agreement, the Offer Documents and
             certain other materials to be filed with the Securities and
             Exchange Commission in connection with the Offer; and

     (ix)    performed such other analyses and examinations and considered such
             other information, financial studies, analyses and investigations
             and financial, economic and market data as we deemed relevant.

In rendering our opinion, we have assumed and relied upon the accuracy and
completeness of all of the information concerning Neozyme and Genzyme considered
in connection with our review of the Proposed Transaction, and we have not
assumed any responsibility for independent verification of such information. We
have not prepared any independent valuation or appraisal of any of the 
<PAGE>   3

Page 3


assets or liabilities of Neozyme, nor have we conducted a physical inspection
of the properties and facilities of the Company. With respect to the financial
forecasts and projections made available to us and used in our analysis, we
have assumed that they reflect the best currently available estimates and
judgments of the expected future financial performance of Neozyme. For purposes
of this opinion, we have assumed that Neozyme is not a party to any pending
transactions, including external financings, recapitalizations or material
merger discussions, other than the Proposed Transaction and those activities
undertaken in the ordinary course of conducting its business. Our opinion is
necessarily based upon market, economic, financial and other conditions as they
exist and can be evaluated as of the date of this letter and any change in such
conditions would require a reevaluation of this opinion. We were not requested
to, and did not, formally solicit indications of interest from any other
parties in connection with a possible acquisition of, or business combination
with, Neozyme.

   
It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Special
Committee and the Board of Directors and may not be used for any other
purpose without our prior written consent; provided, however, that this letter
may be reproduced in full in any filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Schedules
14D-1, 14D-9 and 13E-3 to be filed in connection with the Offer. This letter
does not constitute a recommendation to any Neozyme stockholder as to whether
such stockholder should accept the Offer. In addition, we express no opinion,
however, as to the adequacy of any consideration received in the Proposed
Transaction by Genzyme or any of its affiliates.
    

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and after considering such other
matters as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof
the consideration to be received by the holders of the Units pursuant to the
Offer and the consideration to be received by the holders of the Common
Stock pursuant to the Second Step Transaction is fair to such holders from a
financial point of view.


Very truly yours,

HAMBRECHT & QUIST LLC

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Neozyme II Corporation (A
Development Stage Enterprise):
 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Neozyme II Corporation (a
development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related
statements of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the
period ended December 31, 1995 and cumulative from March 2, 1992 (date of       
inception) to December 31, 1995. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to 
express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Neozyme II Corporation (a
development stage enterprise) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994 and the results  
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period 
ended December 31, 1995 and cumulative from March 2, 1992 (date of inception) 
to December 31, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting 
principles.

                             NEOZYME II CORPORATION
                        (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
NOTE A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
     BUSINESS:  Neozyme II Corporation was incorporated in March 1992 to develop
products for the treatment of cystic fibrosis by gene therapy or protein
replacement (the "Field"). In 1993 Neozyme II's research program was expanded to
include the products to be developed by Genzyme in collaboration with North
American Biologics, Inc. ("NABI," formerly Univax Biologics, Inc.)
 
     The Company began operations on May 5, 1992 and is classified as a
development stage enterprise. The Company will experience significant losses as
substantially all of its capital will be spent to fund development of its
products. It is not anticipated that the Company will receive any significant
revenues unless and until it successfully commercializes any of its programs
upon expiration of the Purchase Option (see Note C).
 
     EXHAUSTION OF AVAILABLE FUNDS  Under the Development Agreement, Neozyme II
is obligated to engage Genzyme to perform all of its research, development and
clinical testing activities related to the Products. It is expected that
Available Funds to pay for such activities will be substantially exhausted by
December 31, 1996. There can be no assurance that, at such time, the development
of the Products will have progressed to a point where Genzyme will have enough
information to determine whether to exercise the Purchase Option.
 
     EXERCISE OF PURCHASE OPTION  Genzyme may purchase all (but not less
than all) of the Neozyme II Callable Common Stock at any time through December
31, 1996. Genzyme is not obligated to exercise the Purchase Option and will do
so only if Genzyme perceives that such exercise is in its best interest. There
can be no assurance that Genzyme's best interest in this regard will coincide
with the best interest of Neozyme II's shareholders. If Genzyme does not
exercise the Purchase Option, Neozyme II will need to find other ways to
complete clinical testing and commercialize the Products. Neozyme II will have
working capital of at least $1 million to fund these commercialization efforts.
If Genzyme does not exercise the Purchase Option and Neozyme II decides to
complete development, manufacture or market the products itself, Neozyme II
will need substantial additional funds. Genzyme is not obligated to provide
these funds and there can be no assurance that such funds will be available
from others on attractive terms, if at all.
 
     USE OF ESTIMATES:  The preparation of financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
certain estimates and assumptions that effect 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 reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
     CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS:  Cash equivalents, consisting primarily of U.S.
Treasury bills and commercial paper purchased with initial maturities of three
months or less, are valued at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates
market.
 
     INVESTMENTS:  Short-term investments include all investments with remaining
maturities of twelve months or less. Long-term investments include all
investments with remaining maturities greater than twelve months. As of December
31, 1995 the Company's investment portfolio, consisting primarily of debt
securities classified as available for sale, is shown at market value and
classified as current assets. It is management's intention to sell these
securities in fiscal 1996. In computing realized gains or losses on the sale of
securities, the Company determines cost on a specific identification basis. In
1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115
"Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities" ("SFAS 115").
The adoption of SFAS 115 did not have a material effect on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company. SFAS 115 requires that, except
for debt securities classified as held-to-maturity which are reported at

NOTE B. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
     In May 1992, the Company completed an initial public offering of 2,415,000
shares of Callable Common Stock for net proceeds of $78.0 million. Each share of
Callable Common Stock was accompanied by a warrant to purchase one share of
Genzyme common stock and a callable warrant to purchase one share of Genzyme
common stock. Neozyme II received all of the net proceeds of the offering and
paid all of the offering costs, fees and expenses. All of the shares of
Callable Common Stock are subject to an outstanding purchase option to Genzyme
which expires on December 31, 1996. (See Note C). Effective December 1994, the
stockholders of Genzyme approved the Genzyme Stock Proposal as described in
Genzyme's Prospectus/Proxy Statement dated November 10, 1994 to redesignate
Genzyme's Common Stock as General Division Common Stock on a share-for-share
basis and a second class of common stock, designated as Tissue Repair Division
Common Stock. Each warrant when exercised will grant the holder one share of
General Division common stock and .135 of one share of Tissue Repair common
stock.

     PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT:  Under the Purchase Option Agreement, Genzyme 
has the option, exercisable not later than December 31, 1996, to purchase all,
but not less than all, of the Callable Common Stock, at stated prices which

                             NEOZYME II CORPORATION
                        (A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
                                  JUNE 30, 1996

                NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   BASIS FOR PRESENTATION:

          Neozyme II Corporation ("Neozyme II" or the "Company") is a
     development stage enterprise engaged in the research, development and
     clinical testing of biotherapeutic products for the treatment of cystic
     fibrosis.

          These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in
     conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
     year ended December 31, 1995 and the financial statements and footnotes
     included therein. 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
     the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

          The financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
     1996 and 1995 are unaudited but include, in the Company's opinion, all
     adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) necessary for
     a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

2.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

          The accounting policies underlying the quarterly financial statements
     are those set forth in Note A of the financial statements included in the
     Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995.

          As of June 30, 1996, investments totaling $5,178,000 were classified
     as available for sale and, accordingly, unrealized holding losses totaling
     $34,000 have been recognized in a separate component of stockholders'
     equity.

3.   PURCHASE OPTION AGREEMENT WITH GENZYME CORPORATION:

<TABLE>

          Under the Purchase Option Agreement, Genzyme has the option (the
     "Purchase Option"), exercisable not later than December 31, 1996, to
     purchase all, but not less than all, of the Callable Common Stock, at
     stated prices which increase over time. The purchase price increases based
     on a formula which prorates evenly by month the difference between a given
     and prior year purchase price plus the prior year purchase price.
<CAPTION>

     IF THE STOCK PURCHASE               OPTION EXERCISE        TOTAL
     OPTION IS EXERCISED:                PRICE PER SHARE       PAYMENT
     -------------------                 ---------------     ------------
     <S>                                      <C>            <C>
     On or before December 31, 1995...        $ 83           $200,445,000
     December 31, 1996................         117            282,555,000
</TABLE>

     The purchase price, if exercised at June 30, 1996, was $100.00 per share
     for a total payment of $241,500,000.

          The Purchase Option Agreement may be terminated by Neozyme II
     following expenditure of the funds available for its development program
     unless Genzyme funds or obtains funding to continue the development
     program.

4.   TERMINATION OF LICENSE AND DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT WITH NABI

          Under agreement with Genzyme, Neozyme II funds Genzyme's obligations 
     to provide development funding to NABI in exchange for the exclusive 
     rights that Genzyme has acquired to market, on a worldwide basis, 
     HyperGAM+[Trademark]CF, for the treatment of Pseudomonas lung infections 
     in Cystic Fibrosis patients. In June 1996, Neozyme II and NABI announced 
     the halt of their Phase II clinical trial for HyperGAM+[Trademark]CF after 
     receiving the results of an interim analysis of the data from the trial by 
     an independent statistician which showed no evidence of a reduction in the 
     number of acute pulmonary exacerbations in trial participants. No major 
     issues with the safety of the product were identified. On June 21, 1996, 
     after review of the interim analysis data, the Board of Directors of 
     Neozyme II voted unanimously to terminate the License and Development 
     Agreement with NABI. Under the terms of this Agreement, Neozyme II is 
     required to reimburse NABI for certain costs incurred in connection with 
     the wind down of the HyperGAM+[Trademark]CF program up to maximum of 
     $900,000.
