for marketing of the Partnership's products. These forward looking statements

clinical development and obtain timely regulatory approval and patent and other
proprietary rights protection for its products, (ii) the content and timing of
decisions made by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") and other
agencies regarding the indications for which the Partnership's products may be
approved, (iii) the actual size and characteristics of markets to be addressed
by the Partnership's products, (iv) market acceptance of the Partnership's
products, (v) the Partnership's ability to obtain reimbursement for its
products, (vi) the accuracy of the Partnership's information concerning the
products and resources of competitors and potential competitors, (vii) continued

Corporation ("Genzyme"), and (viii) the risks and uncertainties described under

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.       BASIS FOR PRESENTATION
         The Partnership was formed in September 1989 to develop, produce and
         derive income from the sale of products (the "Sepra Products") to be
         used to limit the incidence and severity of postoperative adhesions.
         The Sepra Products are based on hyaluronic acid ("HA"), a naturally
         occurring biopolymer with unique physical properties. In August 1996,
         Genzyme received marketing approval from the FDA for the Partnership's
         first product, Seprafilm(TM), and commenced commercial sales of 
         Seprafilm(TM) in the U.S. on behalf of a joint venture (the "Joint 
         Venture") between Genzyme and the Partnership.

         Per partnership unit information is based on the number of partnership
         units outstanding at the end of each period. Units outstanding have not
         changed since the date of capitalization of the Partnership.

         These unaudited financial statements should be read in conjunction
         with the 1996 10-K 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
         rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30,
         1997 and 1996 are unaudited but include, in the opinion of the General
         Partner, all adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring
         accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
         periods presented.

2.       DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
         The Partnership's available funds were fully expended during the first
         quarter of 1994. Genzyme has funded the development program for the
         Sepra Products on an annual basis since the first quarter of 1994, 
         when all of the Partnership's available funds were substantially 
         depleted. Genzyme is not obligated to fund additional development of 
         the Sepra Products but will fund the program during 1997 at a level 
         consistent with prior years and the 1997 budget for the program at 
         no expense to the Partnership.

3.       JOINT VENTURE
         For financial accounting purposes, Genzyme consolidates 100% of the 
         losses of the Joint Venture funded by its non-interest bearing
         loans or capital contributions. For the three and six months ended 
         June 30, 1997, the Joint Venture incurred net losses of approximately
         $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively, due primarily to the 
         costs associated with the U.S. market introduction of Seprafilm(TM).
         
         Condensed financial information of the Joint Venture is summarized
         below (in thousands)(1):

                       GENZYME DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, L.P.
                FOR THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997


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


INTRODUCTION
The following discussion is a summary of the key factors the General Partner
considers necessary in reviewing the Partnership's results of operations,
liquidity and capital resources. 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net loss for the three months ended June 30, 1997 declined 41% to $22,000 as
compared to the corresponding period in 1996 due primarily to a 114% increase in
royalty revenue recognized by the Partnership on European sales of the Sepra
Products by Genzyme and a reduction in legal expenses incurred by the
Partnership related to the maintenance of its patents. Net loss for the six
months ended June 30, 1997 increased 56% to $61,000 in comparison to the same
period in 1996 due primarily to increased legal costs incurred by the
Partnership related to the amendment and restatement of the joint venture
agreement between the Partnership and Genzyme, which costs were partially offset
by growth in royalty revenue related to Genzyme's European sales of the Sepra
Products. Under the terms of the Cross License Agreement with Genzyme, the
Partnership is entitled to receive a royalty equal to 6% of net revenues
recognized by Genzyme from the European sales of the Sepra Products to the
extent necessary to pay certain projected distributions to the partners in any
year. The General Partner believes that the Partnership will continue to be
eligible to receive such royalties during 1997.

Investment income, including income which the Partnership receives from
Partnership unit holders related to changes in Partnership unit ownership
("Transfer Fee Income"), decreased for the three and six months ended June 30,
1997 to approximately $4,000 and $13,000, respectively, from approximately
$9,000 and $15,000 for the corresponding periods in 1996, due largely to a
decrease in Transfer Fee Income in the second quarter of 1997. Excluding the
effect of the decrease in Transfer Fee Income, investment income declined to
approximately $2,000 and $4,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 1997,
respectively, from $6,000 and $11,000 in the corresponding periods of 1996 due
to lower average cash balances resulting primarily from the Partnership's
contribution of $200,000 in cash to the Joint Venture in the fourth quarter of
1996.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
As of June 30, 1997, the Partnership had $179,000 in cash and cash equivalents
which is reserved for general and administrative expenses. 

The Partnership's future profitability is primarily dependent upon the Joint
Venture's sales of the Sepra Products. Under the Amended and Restated the Joint
Venture Agreement, Genzyme has agreed, during the term of the Joint Venture,
to make non-interest bearing loans to the Joint Venture to fund any working
capital deficiency of the Joint Venture and to make capital contributions to
the extent deemed necessary by the two venturers in connection with the
business of the Joint Venture. For the three and six months ended June 30,
1997, Genzyme funded Joint Venture net losses of approximately $1.0 million and
$1.7 million, respectively, due primarily to the costs associated with the U.S. 
market introduction of Seprafilm(TM). 

On May 5, 1997, the General and Plastic Surgery Devices Panel of the FDA
Medical Devices Advisory Committee recommended that Genzyme not be granted
approval to market Sepracoat(TM) coating solution for the reduction of 
adhesions in abdominal and pelvic surgery. Genzyme has since withdrawn
the pre-market approval application for Sepracoat(TM). Although there are no
current plans to submit a new application, Genzyme General plans to continue 
to market Sepracoat(TM) in Europe.

                                       7

The General Partner believes that substantial additional funds will be required
to complete the development, clinical testing and commercialization of
Sepracoat(TM) and Sepragel(TM). Genzyme has funded the research and development
program for the Sepra Products on an annual basis since the first quarter of
1994, when all the available funds of the Partnership were substantially
depleted. Genzyme is not obligated to fund additional development of the Sepra
Products but will continue such funding during 1997 at a level consistent with
prior years and the 1997 budget for the programs.
