                         HYBRIDON, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)    ORGANIZATION

       Hybridon, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on
       May 25, 1989. The Company is engaged in the discovery and development of
       novel genetic medicines based primarily on antisense technology.

       Since inception, the Company has been engaged primarily in research and
       development efforts, development of its manufacturing capabilities and
       organizational efforts, including recruiting of scientific and management
       personnel and raising capital. To date, the Company has not received
       revenue from the sale of biopharmaceutical products developed by it based
       on antisense technology. In order to commercialize its own products, the
       Company will need to address a number of technological challenges and
       comply with comprehensive regulatory requirements. Accordingly, it is not
       possible to predict the amount of funds that will be required or the
       length of time that will pass before the Company receives revenues from
       sales of any of these products. All revenues received by the Company to
       date have been derived from collaboration agreements, interest on
       investment funds and revenues from the custom contract manufacturing of
       synthetic DNA and reagent products by the Company's Hybridon Specialty
       Products Division. As a result, although the Company has begun to
       generate revenues from its contract manufacturing business, the Company
       is dependent on the proceeds from possible future sales of equity
       securities, debt financings and research and development collaborations
       in order to fund future operations.

       The Company is currently seeking debt or equity financing in an amount
       sufficient to support its operations through the end of 2000 and has
       considered the licensing of technology and the sale of assets. If the
       Company is unable to obtain this sufficient amount of additional funding
       by June 2000 and is not able to sell assets for sufficient consideration,
       it will be forced to terminate its operations or seek relief under
       applicable bankruptcy law by the end of June 2000.

       On December 3, 1997, the Company was delisted from the Nasdaq Stock
       Market, Inc. (NASDAQ) because the Company was not in compliance with the
       continued listing requirements of the NASDAQ National Market. The Company
       is currently trading on the NASD OTC as a result of the delisting.


(2)    UNAUDITED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements included herein
       have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules
       and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and include, in
       the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal,

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Continued)

       recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of interim
       period results. 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
       such rules and regulations. The Company believes, however, that its
       disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not
       misleading. The results for the interim periods presented are not
       necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal
       year. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
       conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes
       thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
       ended December 31, 1999, as filed with the Securities and Exchange
       Commission.

(3)    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       Net Loss per Common Share

       The Company follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings per Share. Under SFAS No. 128, basic
       net loss per share applicable to common shareholders is computed using
       the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during
       the period. Diluted net loss per common share is the same as basic net
       loss per common as the effects of the Company's potential common stock
       equivalents are antidilutive.

       Comprehensive Loss

       The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 130, Reporting
       Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive loss is defined as the change in
       equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and
       other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. The Company's
       comprehensive loss is the same as the reported net loss for all periods
       presented.

       Segment Reporting

       The Company follows the provisions of SFAS No. 131, Disclosures About
       Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131
       establishes standards for reporting information regarding operating
       segments in annual financial statements and requires selected information
       for those segments to be reported in interim financial reports issued to
       stockholders. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related
       disclosures about products and services and geographic areas. To date,
       the Company has viewed its operations and manages its business as
       principally one operating segment. As a result, the financial information
       disclosed herein, represents all of the material financial information
       related to the Company's principal operating segment. All of the
       Company's revenues are generated in the United States and substantially
       all assets are located in the United States.

(4)    CASH EQUIVALENTS

       The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of
       ninety days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash
       equivalents at March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999 consisted of the

(5)    9.0% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

       On April 2, 1997, the Company issued $50,000,000 of 9.0% convertible
       subordinated notes (the 9% Notes). On May 5, 1998 noteholders holding
       $48.6 million of principal value of the 9% Notes tendered such notes in
       exchange for Series A convertible preferred stock, approximately
       $2,355,000 of accrued interest thereon was converted into shares of
       Series A convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase common
       stock. As of March 31, 1999, there is $1.3 million of 9% Notes
       outstanding. Under the terms of the 9% Notes, the Company must make
       semi-annual interest payments on the outstanding principal balance
       through the maturity date of April 1, 2004. The 9% Notes are convertible
       at any time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price equal to
       $35.0625 per share, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances, as
       defined.

       Beginning April 1, 2000, the Company may redeem the 9% Notes at its
       option for a 4.5% premium over the original issuance price, provided that
       from April 1, 2000 to March 31, 2001, the 9% Notes may not be redeemed
       unless the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds 150% of
       the conversion price for a period of at least 20 out of 30 consecutive
       trading days and the 9% Notes redeemed within 60 days after such trading
       period. The premium decreases by 1.5% each year through March 31, 2003.
       Upon a change of control of the Company, as defined, the Company will be
       required to offer to repurchase the 9% Notes at 150% of the original
       issuance price.


(6)    NOTE PAYABLE TO LENDERS

       During November 1998, the Company entered into a $6,000,000 note payable
       with Forum Capital Markets, LLC (Forum) and certain investors associated
       with Pecks Management Partners Ltd. (collectively, the Lenders). The
       terms of the note payable are as follows: (i) the maturity is November
       30, 2003; (ii) the interest rate is 8%; (iii) interest is payable monthly
       in arrears, with the principal due in full at maturity of the loan; (iv)
       the note payable is convertible, at the Lender's option, in whole or in
       part, into shares of common stock at a rate equal to $2.40 per share; (v)
       the note includes a minimum liquidity covenant of $2,000,000; and (vi)
       the note payable may not be prepaid, in whole or in part, at any time
       prior to December 1, 2000. The Company has received a waiver of
       noncompliance with the minimum tangible net worth and minimum liquidity
       covenants through June 30, 2000. The Company has classified the
       outstanding balance of $6,000,000 at March 31, 2000 as a current
       liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet at it does not
       expect to remain in compliance with the

<PAGE>

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                   (Continued)

       financial covenants. In connection with refinancing the note payable to a
       bank, Forum received $400,000, which was reinvested by Forum to purchase
       160,000 shares of common stock with 40,000 attached warrants at an
       exercise price of $3.00 per share. The Company has recorded the $400,000
       as a deferred financing cost, which will be amortized to interest expense
       over the term of the note. In addition, Forum received warrants to
       purchase 133,333 shares of common stock of the Company $3.00 per share.
       The Company computed the value of the warrants to be $85,433, by using
       the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company has recorded this
       $85,433 as a deferred financing cost, which will be amortized to interest
       expense over the term of the note.

(7)    8% CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

       In March 2000, the Company completed the offering of the 8% Convertible
       Notes Payable (8% Notes). As of March 31, 2000, the Company had received
       approximately $7.6 million in principal with respect to the 8% Notes.
       Under the terms of the 8% Notes, the Company must make semiannual
       interest payments on the outstanding principal balance through the
       maturity date of November 30, 2002. The 8% Notes are convertible at any
       time prior to the maturity date at a conversion price equal to $0.60 per
       share of common stock (the Conversion Ratio), subject to adjustment under
       certain circumstances, as defined. If the 8% Notes are prepaid before the
       maturity date, all noteholders are entitled to receive a warrant to
       purchase the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of
       shares of common stock that would be issued using the Conversion Ratio.

       In connection with the 8% Notes, the Company must maintain certain
       defined covenants of compliance, including, making all payments of
       interest when due and maintaining consolidated cash balances of at least
       $1.5 million as of the last day of any calendar month. The Company is in
       compliance with the $1.5 million covenant as of March 31, 2000. Since the
       Company may not remain in compliance with this covenant in the
       future, the outstanding balance on the 8% Notes has been classified as a
       current liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of
       March 31, 2000. If an event of default occurs, as defined, the
       noteholders may declare the unpaid principal and interest due and payable
       immediately. If the Company defaults with respect to payment of interest,
       the Company will be required to pay interest at a defaulted rate equal to
       12%.

       In addition, in connection with the issuance of the 8% Notes, the holders
       of the note payable to Lenders (see Note 6) received a warrant to
       purchase 2,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.60 per
       share. The warrant was granted as consideration to the Lenders for
       relinquishing their seniority upon liquidation of the Company to the
       holders of the 8% Notes. The Company computed the value of the warrants
       to be $547,328, by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The
       Company has recorded the $547,328 as a deferred financing cost, which
       will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the 8% Notes.

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

GENERAL

         Hybridon is involved in the discovery and development of genetic
medicines based on antisense technology. Hybridon began operations in February
1990 and since that time has been involved primarily in research and development
efforts, developing its manufacturing capabilities, and raising capital. In
order to commercialize its therapeutic products, Hybridon will need to address a
number of technological challenges and comply with comprehensive regulatory
requirements. All revenues received by Hybridon to date have been from
collaborative agreements, interest on invested funds and revenues from the
custom contract manufacturing of synthetic DNA and reagent products by its
wholly owned subsidiary, Hybridon Specialty Products ("HSP").

         Hybridon has incurred total losses of approximately $257.0 million
through March 31, 2000. Hybridon expects that its research and development and
general and administrative expenses will be significant in 2000 and future years
as it pursues its core drug development programs and expects to continue to
incur operating losses and significant capital needs beyond its internally
generated funds.

         Hybridon's existing cash resources are expected to be sufficient to
fund operations only through June 2000. However, if the noteholders force
default proceedings due to events of non-compliance, Hybridon's existing cash
resources will not be sufficient to fund operations through June 2000.
Hybridon's ability to continue operations time will depend on its success in
obtaining new funding, either through additional financing or new partnerships
or collaborations with third parties, that may require it to relinquish rights
to certain of its technologies, product candidates or products which it would
otherwise pursue on its own, through the sale of assets of Hybridon or through
the licensing of technology. If Hybridon is unable to obtain substantial
additional new funding by June 2000, Hybridon will have to terminate operations
or seek relief under applicable bankruptcy laws. As of May 10, 2000, Hybridon
had 44 full-time employees.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

         Hybridon had total revenues of $1.6 million and $1.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. Revenues from products
and services were $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March
31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

         Substantially all of Hybridon's product and service revenue is
generated by HSP. The increase in revenues in 2000 was primarily the result of
increased sales to HSP customers. Receipt of service revenues from MethylGene,
Inc. and OriGenix Technologies, Inc., entities in which Hybridon has an equity
interest, decreased slightly in 2000 to $45,000 from $110,000 in 1999.

         Revenues from research and development collaborations were $0.0 and
$0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively.
This decrease was primarily due to the termination by Searle, a collaborative
partner of Hybridon, of its collaboration agreement with Hybridon.

         Hybridon's research and development expenses were $3.1 million and $3.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This
decrease reflects Hybridon's lower levels of

<PAGE>

cash available for expenditures in 2000. Research and development salaries and
related costs remained at approximately the same level in 2000 as 1999.
Hybridon's patent expenses remained at approximately the same level in 2000 as
1999.

         Hybridon's general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million and
$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
This decrease reflects Hybridon's lower levels of cash available for
expenditures in 2000. General and administrative expenses related to business
development, public relations and legal and accounting expenses remained at
approximately the same level in 2000 as 1999.

         Hybridon's interest expense was $0.4 million and $0.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively. This increase is
attributable to the issuance of the 8% convertible subordinated notes in
December 1999.

         As a result of the above factors, Hybridon incurred net losses from
operations of $2.7 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively. Hybridon recorded preferred stock dividends on the
Series A convertible preferred stock of $1.1 million and $1.0 million in 2000
and 1999, respectively, resulting in a net loss applicable to common
stockholders of $3.8 million and $4.0 million for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         During the three months ended March 31, 2000, Hybridon utilized
approximately $2.1 million to fund operating activities and did not incur any
new capital expenditures. The primary use of cash for operating activities was
to fund Hybridon's loss of $2.7 million. Hybridon expects to purchase a minimal
amount of capital equipment in 2000 as part of its effort to conserve cash
resources.

         Hybridon had cash and cash equivalents of $1.8 million at March 31,
2000. However, since that date, Hybridon has spent a portion of such cash
resources and continues to have substantial obligations to lenders, real estate
landlords, trade creditors and others. On May 10, 2000, Hybridon's obligations
included $1.3 million principal amount of 9% notes, a $6.0 million loan with
Forum Capital Markets, LLC and others (collectively, the "Lenders"),
approximately $7.6 million in 8% convertible notes and accrued interest as
described below, and approximately $1.1 million of accounts payable. Because of
Hybridon's financial condition, many trade creditors are only willing to provide
Hybridon with products and services on a cash on delivery basis. The note to the
Lenders contains certain financial covenants that require Hybridon to maintain
minimum tangible net worth and minimum liquidity requirements. Hybridon
currently meets the minimum liquidity requirements, but is not in compliance
with the minimum tangible net worth requirement. However, the Lenders have
granted Hybridon a waiver of compliance with the minimum tangible net worth and
the minimum liquidity requirements at March 31, 2000 and have agreed not to
require that Hybridon comply with those requirements for any periods commencing
April 1, 2000 through June 30, 2000.

HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES; UNCERTAINTY OF FUTURE PROFITABILITY

         Since inception, Hybridon has incurred significant losses, which it has
funded through the issuance of equity securities, debt issuances, sales by HSP,
and through research and development collaborations and licensing arrangements.

FUTURE CAPITAL NEEDS; UNCERTAINTY OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING

<PAGE>

         Hybridon's existing cash resources are expected to be sufficient to
fund operations through June 2000. However, if the noteholders force default
proceedings due to events of non-compliance, Hybridon's existing cash resources
will not be sufficient to fund operations through June 2000. Hybridon's ability
to continue operations will depend on its success in obtaining new funding,
either through additional financing or new partnerships or collaborations with
third parties, the sale of assets or the licensing of technology. In any new
parternship or collaboration, Hybridon may be required to relinquish rights to
certain of its technologies, product candidates or products that it would
otherwise pursue on its own. If Hybridon is unable to obtain substantial
additional new funding by June 2000 or sell sufficient assets, Hybridon will
have to terminate operations or seek relief under applicable bankruptcy laws.

         Even though Hybridon has obtained sufficient cash to fund its
operations through June 2000, it will be required to raise substantial
additional funds from external sources to support its operations from June 2000
on. Hybridon has no committed external sources of capital, and, as discussed
above, expects no product revenues for several years from sales of the
therapeutic products that it is developing. No guarantee can be given that
additional funds will be available to fund operations for the balance of 2000 or
in future years, or, if available, that such funds will be available on
acceptable terms. Raising additional funds by issuing equity securities will
dilute existing stockholders and may have other adverse effects on their
holdings or rights.

         Hybridon's future capital requirements will depend on many factors,
including the following:


o        continued scientific progress in its research

o        drug discovery and development programs

o        the magnitude of these programs

o        progress with preclinical and clinical trials

o        sales of DNA products and reagents to third parties by HSP

o        the margins on such sales

o        the time and costs involved in obtaining regulatory approvals

o        the costs involved in filing, prosecuting and enforcing patent claims

o        competing technological and market developments

o        Hybridon's ability to establish and maintain collaborative academic and
         commercial research, development and marketing relationships

o        its ability to obtain third-party financing for leasehold improvements
         and other capital expenditures

o        the costs of manufacturing scale-up and commercialization activities
         and arrangements
