     (a-c) This statement is being filed by Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc., a
California corporation whose principal executive offices are located at One
Embarcadero Center, Suite 2300, San Francisco, California, 94111 ("Amerindo"),
Amerindo Advisors (U.K.) Limited, a United Kingdom corporation whose principal
executive offices are located at 43 Upper Grosvenor Street, London WIX 9PG
England ("Amerindo UK"), Amerindo Investment Advisors, Inc., a Panama
corporation, whose principal executive offices are located at Edificio Sucre,

the Amerindo Investment Advisors Inc. Profit Sharing Trust, whose address is
2655 Le Jeune Road, Coral Gables, Florida 33134 (the "Plan"), Alberto W. Vilar
and Gary A. Tanaka (sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Reporting Persons").  Although this statement is being made jointly by
Amerindo, Amerindo UK and Amerindo Panama, each of them expressly disaffirms
membership in any group under Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise.  Amerindo, Amerindo UK,
Amerindo Panama and the Plan are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to
as the "Advisor Entities."

           Each of the Advisor Entities is an investment advisor, and all of the
subject securities have been purchased by the Advisor Entities (or in the case
of securities held by the Plan) in the ordinary course of their respective
businesses as investment advisors and not with the purpose of effecting

Because each of the Advisor Entities is obligated to act in the best interests

those clients and because the trustee of the Plan is required to act in the best
interest of the beneficiaries thereof, there is no agreement between or among
any of the Reporting Persons to act together with respect to the issuer or its
securities, except that they may, from time to time and provided that
transactions are otherwise being effected at the same time, aggregate orders for
client accounts in order to receive more favorable trading terms.

BioMolecules, Inc., Cusip Number 225270107.

(with beneficial ownership determined as set forth in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act, but with beneficial ownership being expressly disclaimed). Messrs.
Vilar and Tanaka, as the sole shareholders and directors of the Advisor
Entities, share with each other investment and dispositive power as to all
of the shares shown as owned by the Advisor Entities, who otherwise have sole
