                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

     We have used generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information to prepare unaudited consolidated financial statements:

     o    As of June 30, 2000;
     o    For the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000; and
     o    For the period from inception (January 17, 1989) to June 30, 2000.

Our consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the unaudited information
includes all the normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair
presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows
for the periods presented. You should not make any assumptions about possible
results of our operations for 2000 based solely on our results of operations for
the six months ended June 30, 2000. You should read these consolidated financial
statements in combination with:

     o    The other Notes in this section;
     o    "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          Results of Operations" appearing in the following section; and
     o    The Consolidated Financial Statements, including the Notes to the
          Consolidated Financial Statements, included in our Annual Report on
          Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

2. Sale of Common Stock

     In March 2000, we offered and sold 2.3 million shares of our common stock
at a public offering price of $32.00 per share. Our net proceeds from the
offering after the payment of underwriting fees and offering expenses were
approximately $68.6 million.

3. Agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company

     In 1998, we entered into an agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company to
develop proprietary technologies that enable cGMP processes for the manufacture
of two gangliosides (complex carbohydrate structures attached to lipids) for use
as the active pharmaceutical ingredients in two cancer vaccines being developed
by Bristol-Myers. Both vaccine candidates, GMK and MGV, have been licensed to
Bristol-Myers from Progenics Pharmaceuticals, Inc. During the six months ended
June 30, 2000, we recorded revenues of $3.1 million from Bristol-Myers.

     In May 2000, Progenics Pharmaceuticals announced that the Eastern
Cooperative Oncology Group would conclude their participation in the Phase III
clinical trial for the GMK melanoma vaccine. Progenics Pharmaceuticals also
announced that it planned to continue the trial as an extension study until the
scheduled completion of the original trial. We have been advised by


                                       6

<PAGE>


Bristol-Myers that they are reviewing the available data from the clinical
trial. The amount and timing of our future revenues, if any, from this
collaboration will depend on Bristol-Myers' decision to continue, suspend, or
terminate the collaborative agreement.

4. Other Assets

     Acquired Technology

     On March 26, 1999, we acquired the carbohydrate manufacturing patents,
licenses, and other intellectual property of Cytel Corporation. We paid $3.5
million in cash to Cytel and an additional $1.5 million in cash into escrow, the
release of which is conditioned on the satisfaction, prior to September 26,
2000, by Epimmune, Inc., Cytel's successor corporation, of certain matters
relating to the acquired patents and licenses. We also agreed to pay contingent
consideration of up to an additional $1.6 million in cash, depending upon
potential payments and revenues realized by us from certain future corporate
collaborations.

     In March 2000, we transferred $500,000 from escrow to Epimmune. We have
recorded the remaining $1.0 million in escrow as Restricted Cash on our June 30,
2000 Consolidated Balance Sheet. Any cash remaining in the escrow account on
September 26, 2000 will be returned to us and will be available for general
corporate purposes. In March 2000, we paid $250,000 to Epimmune to satisfy in
full our obligation to pay contingent consideration.

     Of the $3.5 million paid to Cytel, we charged $200,000 to expenses in our
Consolidated Statement of Operations in 1998. Because the acquired intellectual
property consists of core technology with alternative future uses, we have
capitalized the remaining $3.3 million of the amount paid to Cytel, the $500,000
transferred from escrow to Epimmune, and the $250,000 in contingent
consideration paid to Epimmune as Acquired Technology.

     The Acquired Technology balance will be amortized to our Consolidated
Statement of Operations over eight years, which we estimate to be the useful
life of the technology. During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we recorded
amortization expense of $223,000 relating to the acquired technology.

     Investment in Convertible Preferred Stock

     On June 9, 2000, we made an investment of $1,250,000 in convertible
preferred stock of Neuronyx, Inc., and entered into a research and development
collaboration with Neuronyx for the discovery and development of drugs for the
treatment of Parkinson's disease and other neurological diseases. The
collaboration agreement provides for each of Neose and Neuronyx to perform and
fund specific tasks, and to share in any financial benefits of the
collaboration. Our investment, which represents a fully-diluted ownership
interest of approximately 6%, was made on the same terms as other unaffiliated
investors. Accordingly, we have stated the investment at cost. We will continue
to evaluate the realizability of this investment and record, if necessary,
appropriate impairments in value.

5. Net Loss Per Share

     Basic and diluted net loss per share are presented in conformity with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share." Basic
loss per share is computed by dividing


                                       7

<PAGE>


net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the
period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the exercise
or conversion of securities into common stock. For the six months ended June 30,
1999 and 2000, the effects of the exercise of outstanding stock options and
warrants were antidilutive; accordingly, they were excluded from the calculation
of diluted earnings per share.

6. Comprehensive Loss

     Our comprehensive loss for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 2000 was
approximately $6.8 million and $3.9 million, respectively. Comprehensive loss is
comprised of net loss and other comprehensive income or loss. Our only source of
other comprehensive income or loss is unrealized gains and losses on our
marketable securities that are classified as available-for-sale.

7. Reclassifications

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with our
current year presentation.

     Our actual results could differ materially from those results expressed in,
or implied by, these forward-looking statements. Potential risks and
uncertainties that could affect our actual results include the following:

     o    our ability to commercialize any of our products or technologies;

expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we
cannot guarantee future results, events, levels of activity, performance, or
achievements. We do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness
of the forward-looking statement. We do not intend to update any of the
forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

     You should read this section in combination with the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the
year ended December 31, 1999, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in
our 1999 Annual Report to Stockholders.

Overview

     We are a leading developer of proprietary technologies for the synthesis
and manufacture of complex carbohydrates. Our proprietary enzymatic
glycosylation technology platform enables the rapid and cost-effective synthesis
of a wide range of complex carbohydrates in commercial quantities. We use our
broad, enabling technology to produce complex carbohydrates for pharmaceutical,
biotechnology, nutritional, and consumer product applications.

     We have incurred operating losses each year. As of June 30, 2000, we had an
accumulated deficit of approximately $64 million. We expect additional losses
for some time as we expand research and development efforts, expand
manufacturing scale-up activities, and begin sales and marketing activities.

Results of Operations

     Revenues

     Revenues from collaborative agreements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2000, were $1,769,0000 and $3,716,000, respectively, compared to $0 and
$125,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1999. The increases
were primarily attributable to revenues received under


                                       9

<PAGE>


our agreements with Bristol-Myers and Wyeth Nutritionals International, a
division of American Home Products.

     Operating Expenses

     Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000, were $3,764,000 and $6,657,000, respectively, compared to $2,720,000
and $5,191,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1999. The
increases were primarily attributable to additional services rendered under our
current research and development agreement with Bristol-Myers, and non-cash
compensation expense associated with stock options granted to non-employees.

     General and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June
30, 2000, were $1,418,000 and $2,698,000, respectively, compared to $1,192,000
and $2,195,000, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1999. The
increases were primarily attributable to the hiring of additional business
development and administrative personnel, and the non-cash compensation expense
associated with stock options granted to non-employees.

     Interest Income and Expense

     Interest income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, was
$1,468,000 and $1,987,000, respectively, compared to $222,000 and $606,000,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1998. The increases were due to
higher average cash and marketable securities balances during the 2000 periods.

     Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, was
$115,000 and $234,000, respectively, compared to $102,000 and $209,000,
respectively, for the corresponding periods in 1999. The increases were due to
higher average interest rates, and were partly offset by lower average loan
balances outstanding, during the 2000 periods.

     Net Loss

     We incurred net losses of $2,060,000 and $3,886,000, or $0.15 and $0.30 per
share, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively, compared
to $3,792,000 and $6,864,000, or $0.38 and $0.69 per share, respectively, for
the corresponding periods in 1999.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     We have incurred losses each year since our inception. As of June 30, 2000,
we had a deficit accumulated during the development stage of approximately $64
million. We have financed our operations through private and public offerings of
our securities, and revenues from our collaborative agreements. We had $96.3
million in cash and marketable securities as of June 30, 2000, compared to $33.2
million in cash and marketable securities as of December 31, 1999. The increase
was primarily attributable to our public offering of 2.3 million shares of
common stock in March 2000.

     In May 2000, Progenics Pharmaceuticals announced that the Eastern
Cooperative Oncology Group would conclude their participation in the Phase III
clinical trial for the GMK melanoma vaccine. Progenics Pharmaceuticals also
announced that it planned to continue the trial as an extension study until the
scheduled completion of the original trial. We have been advised by
Bristol-Myers that they are reviewing the available data from the clinical
trial. The amount and timing of our


                                       10

future revenues, if any, from this collaboration, will depend on Bristol-Myers'
decision to continue, suspend, or terminate the collaborative agreement.

     Under the terms of our joint venture with McNeil Specialty, we may be
required to make additional capital contributions to fund capital expenditures.
If the joint venture builds additional production facilities, and we wish to
maintain our 50% ownership in the joint venture, we are required to contribute
half of such expenditures, up to a maximum contribution of $8.85 million.
However, we may elect to contribute as little as $1.85 million of the cost of
the facilities, so long as our aggregate capital contributions are at least 15%
of the joint venture's aggregate capital contributions. In this case, McNeil
Specialty will fund the remainder of our half of the joint venture's capital
expenditures, and our ownership percentage will be proportionately reduced. We
have an option, expiring in September 2006, to return to 50% ownership in the
joint venture by reimbursing McNeil Specialty for this amount. In addition,
until the joint venture is profitable, McNeil Specialty is required to fund, as
a non-recourse, no-interest loan, all of the joint venture's aggregate capital
expenditures in excess of an agreed upon amount, and all of the joint venture's
operating losses. These loans would be repayable by the joint venture to McNeil
Specialty over seven years, and in the event of any dissolution of the joint
venture would be payable to McNeil Specialty before any distribution of assets
to us.

     We will account for our investment in the joint venture under the equity
method, under which we will recognize our share of earnings and losses of the
joint venture. We will record our share of the losses of the joint venture,
however, only to the extent of our actual or committed investment in the joint
venture.

     In 1997, we issued, through the Montgomery County (Pennsylvania) Industrial
Development Authority, $9.4 million of taxable and tax-exempt bonds. The bonds
were issued to finance the purchase of our previously leased building and the
construction of a pilot-scale manufacturing facility within our building. The
bonds are supported by a AA-rated letter of credit, and a reimbursement
agreement between our bank and the letter of credit issuer. The interest rate on
the bonds will vary weekly, depending on market rates for AA-rated taxable and
tax-exempt obligations, respectively. As of June 30, 2000, the effective,
blended interest rate was 7.8% per annum, including letter-of-credit and other
fees. To provide credit support for this arrangement, we have given a first
mortgage on the land, building, improvements, and certain machinery and
equipment to our bank. We have also agreed to a covenant, which was renegotiated
in May 2000, to maintain a minimum required cash and short-term investments
balance of at least two times the current loan balance. Thus, we are now
required to maintain a cash and short-term investments balance of $14.6 million,
rather than $20 million as required under the original covenant. If we fail to
comply with this covenant, we are required to deposit with the lender cash
collateral up to, but not more than, the unpaid balance of the loan, which as of
June 30, 2000 was $7.3 million.

     During the six months ended June 30, 2000, we purchased approximately
$1,033,000 of property, equipment, and building improvements.

     We expect that our existing cash and short-term investments will be
adequate to fund our operations through at least 2001, although changes in our
collaborative relationships or our business, whether or not initiated by us, may
cause us to deplete our cash and short-term investments sooner than the above
estimate. The timing and amount of our future capital requirements and the
adequacy


                                       11

of available funds will depend on many factors, including if or when any
products manufactured using our technology are commercialized.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

     We do not hold any investments in market risk sensitive instruments.
Accordingly, we believe that we are not subject to any material risks arising
from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity
prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive
instruments.
