Item 7.  Financial Statements, Pro Forma Financial Information and Exhibits.

Pro Forma Financial Information


During the third quarter of 1999, management reached a decision to exit
the Company's Encapsulated Cell Therapy (ECT) activities, dispose of the
related intellectual property, facilities and equipment and relocate the
Lincoln, RI corporate headquarters to Sunnyvale, CA. The Company terminated
legal, professional, and consulting contractual arrangements in support of
ECT research, to meet regulatory requirements in support of its research
work, to support contractual arrangements with clinical sites, to provide
assistance at clinical sites in administering therapy and documenting
activities, and to assist in compliance with FDA and other regulations
regarding its clinical trials. ECT related patent law work was also
terminated. The Company also engaged professional consultants in connection
with the determination to exit its ECT activities and restructure its
operations, which concluded with the exit from ECT activities and relocation
of its corporate headquarters to California. The Company reduced its
workforce by approximately 58 employees who had been focused on ECT programs
and 10 administrative employees. At the same time, the Company accrued
various estimated expenses associated with the exit and wind-down of the ECT
activities, disposal of the related property and relocation of the corporate
headquarters. Additional accruals were provided in December 1999 for expenses
relating to settlement of a 1989 funding arrangement with the Rhode Island
Partnership for Science and Technology, further adjustment to asset carrying
values and estimated carrying costs associated with the Rhode Island
facilities through the expected disposition date of June 30, 2000. In
addition, during December 1999, the Company liquidated certain ECT equipment
and sold its ECT intellectual property to Neurotech, S.A. for $3,000,000. The
tabular unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations presents the
effects of the sale, wind-down and relocation, as if they had occurred at
January 1, 1999.


The tabular unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet along with the
accompanying notes are presented as if the sale of ECT intellectual property,
wind-down of ECT activities and relocation of the corporate headquarters had
occurred at December 31, 1999. The pro forma effects and adjustments were
determined based on available information and certain allocations that
management believes are reasonable. The pro forma financial information does
not purport to represent what the Company's operating results would have been
had the sale occurred at January 1, 1999 and may not be indicative of the
Company's financial position or operating results for any future date or
period.

(1) To eliminate Encapsulated Cell Therapy collaborative revenue
    arrangements.


(2) To eliminate research and development expenses, including employee
    compensation ($1,566,479), external professional services ($875,818),
    facilities and other supplies ($2,890,035) and various other expenses
    directly related to encapsulated cell therapy activities. These expenses
    were determined based on an individual account analysis and internal
    employee tracking records.


(3) To eliminate general and administrative expenses, including employee
    compensation ($761,000), legal, professional and consulting fees
    ($963,000) facilities costs ($306,000), amortization ($158,000) and
    various other expenses ($121,000), directly relating to encapsulated cell
    therapy. These expenses were determined based on an individual account
    analysis.






(4) To eliminate Encapsulated Cell Therapy wind-down and corporate relocation
    expenses, including Rhode Island facility carrying costs, employee
    severance arrangements and the related settlement of a 1989 funding
    arrangement with the Rhode Island Partnership for Science and Technology.
    These expenses related to the Company's decision to eliminate 68
    employees, relocate all remaining research and development and the
    Company's headquarters to Sunnyvale, California as a result of a decision
    to exit Encapsulated Cell Technology, and were included in wind-down
    expenses. The wind-down expenses include employee severance costs of
    approximately $1,554,000, losses and reserves for the write-down of
    related patents and fixed assets of approximately $1,858,000, an accrual
    of approximately $1,172,000 of costs relating to settlement of a 1989
    funding agreement with the Rhode Island Partnership for Science and
    Technology ("RIPSAT") associated with the Company's pilot manufacturing
    facility, approximately $1,264,000 relating to carrying costs, including
    lease payments, interest, utilities, taxes and other related expenses
    associated with resolving the disposition of the Rhode Island facilities
    and $200,000 of employee outplacement fees. The RIPSAT claim related
    directly to funding the Company had received from RIPSAT. When the
    Company reached the decision to exit its Encapsulated Cell Technology and
    relocate all remaining research and the Company's corporate headquarters
    from Rhode Island to Sunnyvale, California, RIPSAT claimed the Company
    had violated terms of the funding arrangement. The Company did not agree
    with this claim, however, management determined it was in the Company's
    best interest to settle the issue. As a result, the costs associated with
    the settlement were included in the wind-down amount.

(5) To allocate facilities costs to general and administrative expenses from
    conversion of the former research and development facility in Sunnyvale,
    CA to the Company's corporate headquarters.

(6) To reclassify the net book value of the Rhode Island property, plant and
    equipment.
