                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited financial statements of Endogen, Inc. (the "Company" or
      "Endogen") include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments
      (consisting of normal and recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
      presentation of the Company's financial position as of November 30, 1997
      and the results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
      November 30, 1997 and November 30, 1996. The results of operations are not
      necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

        These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
      financial statements contained in the Company's Form 10-KSB filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on August 8, 1997 pursuant
      to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Certain information
      and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements
      prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
      been condensed or omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

      Net Income Per Share
        Net income per share is determined by dividing net income by the
      weighted average common shares and common share equivalents outstanding
      during the period.

        In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
      Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128), "Earnings
      per Share" which replaces primary and fully diluted earnings per share
      with basic and diluted earnings per share. SFAS 128 is effective for the
      Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 1998 and requires
      restatement of all previously reported interim and annual earnings per
      share data. Pro forma net income per share data assuming application of
      SFAS 128 for each of the respective periods follows:

7. Borrowings

        In August 1997, the Company modified its existing credit agreement with
      a bank to provide for, among other things, an additional demand line of
      credit of up to $250,000 available to finance certain equipment purchases
      through April 1998 (the "Equipment Line"). Borrowings under the Equipment
      Line bear interest at the prime rate plus 1.25% and are secured by all
      corporate assets of the Company. The Equipment Line contains a feature
      whereby outstanding borrowings at April 1998 automatically convert into a
      term loan payable in thirty-six equal principal installments plus
      interest. The Company has outstanding borrowings under the Equipment Line
      of $167,863 at November 30, 1997. The credit agreement was also modified
      to extend the maturity date on the Company's existing revolving line of
      credit to August 1998 and to reduce the interest rate to the prime rate
      plus 1.0%. Additionally, the interest rate on the existing term note
      payable was reduced to the prime rate plus 1.25%.

8. Common Stock

      On November 6, 1997, the stockholders of the Company approved an
      increase in the number of shares available for issuance under the
      Company's 1992 Stock Plan from 768,499 to 1,000,000 shares.

9. Commitments

      On August 21, 1997, the Company entered into a Product Development and
      Marketing Agreement (the "Agreement") with Third Wave Technologies, Inc.
      ("Third Wave") of Madison, Wisconsin. Under the terms of the Agreement,
      Endogen will fund certain research and development activities at Third
      Wave in exchange for certain exclusive, worldwide rights to sell and
      distribute to the life science research market messenger RNA ("mRNA")
      quantitation kits jointly developed by the two companies. Funding
      payments, not to exceed $1,050,000 in total, will be made to Third Wave
      quarterly by the Company over a three year period beginning December 1,
      1997. In connection with the Agreement, the Company issued a five-year
      warrant to Third Wave for the purchase of up to 125,000 shares of Endogen
      common stock at a price of $6.00 per share. The warrant vests ratably over
      three years from August 31, 1997. The Company has ascribed a value of
      $134,500 to such warrant, which is being amortized on a straight-line
      basis over three years.

          Results of Operations


   The following discussion includes forward-looking statements, including, but
not limited to, statements with respect to the Company's future financial
performance, operating results, plans and objectives. Actual results may differ
materially from those currently anticipated depending upon a variety of factors.

   Endogen is principally engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of
specialty reagents and immuno-assay test kits for pharmaceutical, biotechnology
and biomedical research. These products include over 260 specialty reagents and
57 immuno-assay test kits that measure immune system function in human, mouse,
rat, or porcine samples. Products marketed under Endogen's name are sold
directly in the United States and through distributors in over 40 foreign
countries. The Company also sells products on a private label basis to customers
who market these products under their own brand names.

             Three Month Period Ended November 30, 1997 As Compared
               with the Three Month Period Ended November 30, 1996
             ------------------------------------------------------

Revenues
   For the three months ended November 30, 1997, total revenues increased to
$2,590,448 from $2,477,630 in the same period last year, an increase of $112,818
or 4.6%. Domestic and international sales of Endogen branded products increased
to $1,722,106 during the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $1,535,813 in the
same quarter last year, an increase of 12%. This growth was due primarily to
increased sales volume from existing Endogen product lines, new product
introductions and an expansion of the international distribution network. This
increase was offset in part by a 10% decline in private label sales, which
decreased to $837,107 in the second quarter of fiscal 1998 from $929,179 during
the second quarter of fiscal 1997. This decline was attributable primarily to a
decrease in sales to one major private label customer. The Company believes that
this customer has undertaken to increase its inventory turnover which reduced
Endogen's second quarter private label sales.

Cost of Revenues
   Cost of revenues was $885,928 for the three months ended November 30, 1997
compared with $804,846 for the same period last year, an increase of $81,082 or
10%. As a percentage of product revenues, cost of revenues was 34% and 33% in
the three-month periods ended November 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of product revenues during the
second quarter of fiscal 1998 was due in part to changes in the mix of products
sold, increases in full-time headcount as a result of the Company's fiscal 1997
growth, higher fixed overhead costs and increased royalty expenses associated
with new product introductions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
   Selling, general and administrative expense was $1,027,607 for the three
months ended November 30, 1997 compared with $1,094,466 for the same period last
year, a decrease of $66,859 or 6%. The decrease was due primarily to a decline
in professional fees incurred in fiscal 1998 offset in part by increases in
sales and administrative staffing over the prior year period. As a percentage of
product revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 40%
of revenues for the three months ended November 30, 1997 compared with 44% for
the same period last year.

Research and Development Expenses
   Research and development expense was $411,161 for the three months ended
November 30, 1997 versus $332,750 for the same period last year, an increase of
$78,411, or 24%. Research and development expense increased as a percentage of
product revenues to 16% for the three months ended November 30, 1997 from 13%
for the same period last year. Endogen plans to continue to spend heavily on
product development for new products and to upgrade existing products.

Interest Expense, net
   Net interest expense was $3,037 for the three months ended November 30, 1997
compared with net interest expense of $42,189 for the same period last year, a
decrease of $39,152 or 93%. Interest expense for the three-month period ended
November 30, 1996, reflects interest incurred on the convertible subordinated
note (the "Note") in the original principal amount of $2,002,978 issued by
Endogen in connection with the T Cell Diagnostics, Inc. acquisition in March
1996. The Note was converted into shares of the Company's common stock in
February 1997. In addition, during fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1998, interest expense
was incurred in connection with borrowings under notes payable, an equipment
line of credit and capital lease obligations.

Income Taxes
   The Company's effective tax rate was 35% for the three months ended November
30, 1997 as compared to 25% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The
increase in the effective tax rate in fiscal 1998 is primarily the result of the
Company's use of its remaining net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal
1998.


              Six Month Period Ended November 30, 1997 As Compared
                with the Six Month Period Ended November 30, 1996
              ----------------------------------------------------

Revenues
   For the six months ended November 30, 1997, total revenues increased to
$4,914,459 from $4,704,111 in the same period last year, an increase of $210,348
or 4.5%. Domestic and international sales of Endogen branded products increased
to $3,494,488 during the first six months of fiscal 1998 from $3,023,688 in the
same period last year, an increase of 16%. This growth was due primarily to
increased sales volume from existing Endogen product lines, new product
introductions and an expansion of the international distribution network. This
increase was offset in part by a 16% decline in private label sales, which
decreased to $1,376,811 in the first six months of fiscal 1998 from $1,632,848
during the first six months of fiscal 1997. This decline was attributable
primarily to a decrease in sales to one major private label customer. The
Company believes that this customer has undertaken to increase its inventory
turnover which reduced Endogen's six-month private label sales.

Cost of Revenues
   Cost of revenues was $1,778,992 for the six months ended November 30, 1997
compared with $1,614,231 for the same period last year, an increase of $164,761
or 10%. As a percentage of product revenues, cost of revenues was 36% and 34% in
the six-month periods ended November 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. The
increase in cost of revenues as a percentage of product revenues during the
first six months of fiscal 1998 was due in part to changes in the mix of
products sold, increases in full-time headcount as a result of the Company's
fiscal 1997 growth, higher fixed overhead costs and increased royalty expenses
associated with new product introductions.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
   Selling, general and administrative expense was $1,986,819 for the six months
ended November 30, 1997 compared with $2,020,383 for the same period last year,
a decrease of $33,564 or 2%. The decrease was due primarily to a decline in
professional fees incurred in fiscal 1998 offset in part by increases in sales
and administrative staffing over the prior year period. As a percentage of
product revenues, selling, general and administrative expense decreased to 40%
of revenues for the six months ended November 30, 1997 compared with 43% for the
same period last year.

Research and Development Expenses
   Research and development expense was $744,500 for the six months ended
November 30, 1997 versus $629,896 for the same period last year, an increase of
$114,604, or 18%. Research and development expense increased as a percentage of
product revenues to 15% for the six months ended November 30, 1997 from 13% for
the same period last year. Endogen plans to continue to spend heavily on product
development for new products and to upgrade existing products. In August 1997,
the Company entered into a Product Development and Marketing Agreement with
Third Wave for the joint development of a new line of products which will
quantitatively measure levels of mRNA.

Interest Expense, net
   Net interest expense was $6,255 for the six months ended November 30, 1997
compared with net interest expense of $120,434 for the same period last year, a
decrease of $114,179 or 95%. Interest expense for the six-month period ended
November 30, 1996, reflects interest incurred on the convertible subordinated
note (the "Note") in the original principal amount of $2,002,978 issued by
Endogen in connection with the T Cell Diagnostics, Inc. acquisition in March
1996. The Note was converted into shares of the Company's common stock in
February 1997. In addition, interest expense decreased in fiscal 1998 versus
fiscal 1997 as a result of the reduction in average outstanding borrowings under
other notes payable and capital lease obligations.

Income Taxes
   The Company's effective tax rate was 33% for the six months ended November
30, 1997 as compared to 16% for the comparable period in fiscal 1997. The
increase in the effective tax rate in fiscal 1998 is primarily the result of the
Company's use of its remaining net operating loss carryforwards during fiscal
1998.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

   The substantial growth of Endogen's business has led to increased liquidity
requirements to fund working capital needs and capital expenditures. This
includes financing inventories and accounts receivable to support the Company's
growing operations, as well as purchases of new laboratory equipment and
leasehold improvements to support new product development. In addition, in
connection with its Product Development and Marketing Agreement with Third Wave,
the Company is obligated to make funding payments, not to exceed $1,050,000 in
total, to Third Wave in quarterly installments over a three year period
beginning December 1, 1997. Endogen has financed its liquidity needs primarily
through cash from operations, a working capital line of credit, an equipment
line of credit and a term loan payable to a bank.

<PAGE>


                                  ENDOGEN, INC.


   At November 30, 1997, Endogen's cash position was $741,463, an increase of
$407,413 from May 31, 1997. At November 30, 1997, the Company had $850,000
available under a working capital line of credit and $82,137 under an equipment
line of credit with a bank. The interest rate on these lines is 1.0% and 1.25%
above the bank's prime rate, respectively.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
   Net cash provided by operations during the six-month period ended November
30, 1997 was $560,841 as compared to $332,615 in the same fiscal 1997 period.
For the first six months of fiscal 1998, net cash provided by operating
activities consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization of $408,114, net
income of $265,893 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $192,446. This was
offset in part by an increase in inventories of $184,109, an increase in prepaid
expenses and other assets of $10,125 and a decrease in accounts payable and
accrued expenses of $111,378. For the first six months of fiscal 1997, net cash
provided by operations consisted primarily of net income of $269,167,
depreciation and amortization of $375,362, decrease prepaid expenses and other
assets of $73,384 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
$79,009. This was partially offset by increased accounts receivable of $156,581,
increased inventories of $287,226 and increased intangible assets of $20,500.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
   Investments in capital equipment totaled $298,886 and $495,720 for the six
months ended November 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities
   During the six-month period ended November 30, 1997, cash was used to
decrease borrowings by $76,909 and was offset by proceeds of $167,863 from
borrowings under an equipment line of credit and from the issuance of common
stock of $54,504. In the first six months of fiscal 1997, cash was used to
decrease borrowings by $246,014, and was offset in part by proceeds from the
issuance of common stock of $50,722.

   The Company expects to continue expanding operations through internal growth
and strategic acquisitions which offer products similar or complementary to
those offered by the Company. Although the Company has no material current
acquisition agreements or arrangements, there may be opportunities which require
additional external financing, and the Company may from time to time seek to
obtain additional funds from public or private issuance of equity or debt
securities. There can be no assurance that such financing will be available at
all or on terms acceptable to the Company.

   Based on management's current projections, Endogen believes that its
financial resources and cash flows from operations, together with borrowings
available from credit agreements with a bank, will be sufficient to finance its
current and planned operations for at least the next twelve months. There can be
no assurance, however, that the Company will not require additional working
capital and, if it does require such capital, that such capital will be
available to the Company on acceptable terms, if at all.


Certain Factors That May Affect Future Results

   The Company does not provide forecasts of the future financial performance of
the Company. However, from time to time, information provided by the Company or
statements made by its employees may contain "forward-looking" information that
involve risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements contained in this
Form 10-QSB that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements
and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company's actual results of operations and
financial condition have varied and may in the future vary significantly from
those stated in any forward-looking statements. The Company's future operating
results are subject to risks and uncertainties and are dependent upon many
factors, including, without limitation, the Company's ability to (i) meet its
working capital and future liquidity needs, (ii) successfully implement its
strategic growth strategies, (iii) understand, anticipate and respond to rapidly
changing technologies, market trends and customer needs, (iv) develop,
manufacture and deliver high quality, technologically

advanced products on a timely basis to withstand competition from competitors
which may have greater financial, information gathering and marketing resources
than the Company, (v) obtain and protect licensing and intellectual property
rights necessary for the Company's technology and product development and on
terms favorable to the Company, and (vi) recruit and retain highly talented
professionals in a competitive job market. The Company's ability to market and
sell its products could also be adversely affected by the emergence of new
competitors in the market place and by changes resulting in increased government
regulation of the manufacture and sale of its products. In addition, a
significant portion of the Company's revenues are attributable to international
customers, which may be adversely affected by factors including fluctuations in
exchange rates, adverse political and economic conditions, tariff regulation,
and difficulties in obtaining export licenses. Each of these factors, and
others, are discussed from time to time in the filings made by the Company with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-KSB filed on August 8, 1997 and its Quarterly
Report on Form 10-QSB filed on October 9, 1997.

its principal place of business at 3003 Tasman Drive, Santa Clara, CA 95054 and
with a loan production office located at Wellesley Office Park, 40 William
Street, Suite 350, Wellesley, MA 02181, doing business under the name "Silicon
Valley East ("Bank"), and ENDOGEN, INC., a MASSACHUSETTS corporation with its

         Borrower has borrowed money from Bank pursuant to certain Existing Loan
Documents, as defined below. In consideration of certain financial
accommodations from Bank, and Borrower's continuing obligations under the
Existing Loan Documents, Borrower and Bank agree as follows:

                                    AGREEMENT

         1. DESCRIPTION OF EXISTING INDEBTEDNESS. Among other indebtedness which
may be owing by Borrower to Bank, Borrower is indebted to Bank pursuant to a
Revolving Promissory Note dated August 28, 1996 in the original principal amount
of EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($850,000) (the "Revolving
Note") and a Term Promissory Note dated August 28, 1996 in the original
principal amount of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($400,000) (the
"Term Note"). The Revolving Note and the Term Note are governed by the terms of
a Loan and Security Agreement dated August 28, 1996 between Borrower and Bank,
as amended by a Loan Modification Agreement dated as of May 7, 1997 between
Borrower and Bank, and as such Loan and Security Agreement may be further
amended from time to time (the "Loan Agreement").

         Hereinafter, all indebtedness owing by Borrower to Bank under the
Revolving Note, the Term Note and the Loan Agreement shall be referred to as the
"Indebtedness."

         2. DESCRIPTION OF COLLATERAL. Repayment of the Indebtedness is secured
pursuant to the Loan Agreement. Hereinafter, the Loan Agreement, the Revolving
Note and the Term Note, together with all other documents securing payment of
the Indebtedness, shall be referred to as the "Existing Loan Documents."

         3.       DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES IN TERMS.

         3.1      Modifications to Revolving Note.  The Revolving Note is hereby
                  amended as follows:

                  The entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be
due and payable on AUGUST 26, 1998.

         3.2 Modifications to Definitions. Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement is
hereby amended by substituting the following definitions for those set forth
therein for the same terms, and in the case of new definitions, by adding those
new definitions to that Section 1.1:

                  "Committed Equipment Line" means a credit extension of up to
                  TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS Dollars ($250,000)

                  "Credit Extension" means each Advance, Equipment Advance,
                  Letter of Credit, Exchange Contract or any other extension of
                  credit by Bank for the benefit of Borrower hereunder.

                  "Equipment Advance" has the meaning set forth in Section 
                  2.1.4.

                  "Maturity Date" means March 27, 2001.

         3.3      Modifications to Section 2.1 of Loan Agreement. Section 2.1 
                  of the Loan Agreement is hereby replaced in its entirety
                  with the following

                  2.1 Credit Extensions. Borrower promises to pay to the order
                  of Bank, in lawful money of the United States of America, the
                  aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Credit Extensions
                  made by Bank to Borrower hereunder. Borrower shall also pay
                  interest on the unpaid principal amount of such Credit
                  Extensions at rates in accordance with the terms hereof.

                  2.1.1    Revolving Advances.

                  (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
                  Agreement, Bank agrees to make Revolving Advances to Borrower
                  in an aggregate outstanding amount not to exceed (i) the
                  Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base, whichever is
                  less, (ii) minus, the face amount of all outstanding Letters
                  of Credit (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of
                  Credit), and (iii) minus the Foreign Exchange Reserve. Subject
                  to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, amounts
                  borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.1.1 may be repaid and
                  reborrowed at any time up to the Revolving Maturity Date.

                  (b) Whenever Borrower desires a Revolving Advance, Borrower
                  will notify Bank by facsimile transmission or telephone no
                  later than 3:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the Business Day that
                  the Revolving Advance is to be made. Each such notification
                  shall be promptly confirmed by a Payment/Advance Form in
                  substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto. Bank is authorized
                  to make Revolving Advances under this Agreement, based upon
                  instructions received from a Responsible Officer or a designee
                  of a Responsible Officer, or without instructions if in Bank's
                  discretion such Revolving Advances are necessary to meet
                  Obligations which have become due and remain unpaid. Bank
                  shall be entitled to rely on any telephonic notice given by a
                  person who Bank reasonably believes to be a Responsible
                  Officer or a designee thereof, and Borrower shall indemnify
                  and hold Bank harmless for any damages or loss suffered by
                  Bank as a result of such reliance. Bank will credit the amount
                  of Revolving Advances made under this Section 2.1 to
                  Borrower's deposit account.

                  (c) The Committed Revolving Line shall terminate on the
                  Revolving Maturity Date, at which time all Revolving Advances
                  under this Section 2.1.1 and other amounts due under this
                  Agreement (except as otherwise expressly specified herein)
                  shall be immediately due and payable.

                  2.1.2    Letters of Credit.

                  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
                  Bank agrees to issue or cause to be issued Letters of Credit
                  for the account of Borrower in an aggregate outstanding face
                  amount not to exceed (i) the lesser of the Committed Revolving
                  Line or the Borrowing Base, whichever is less, (ii) minus the
                  then outstanding principal balance of the Advances; provided
                  that the face amount of outstanding Letters of Credit
                  (including drawn but unreimbursed Letters of Credit and any
                  Letter of Credit Reserve) shall not in any case exceed TWO
                  HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100THS Dollars ($250,000). Each
                  Letter of Credit shall have an expiry date no later than three
                  hundred sixty (360) days after the Revolving Maturity Date,
                  provided that Borrower's Letter of Credit reimbursement
                  obligation shall be secured by cash on terms acceptable to
                  Bank at any time after the Revolving Maturity Date if the term
                  of this Agreement is not extended by Bank. All Letters of
                  Credit shall be in form and substance acceptable to Bank in
                  its sole discretion and shall be subject to the terms and
                  conditions of Bank's form of standard Application and Letter
                  of Credit Agreement.

                  (b) The obligation of Borrower to immediately reimburse Bank
                  for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute,
                  unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly
                  in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such
                  Letters of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever.
                  Borrower shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Bank
                  harmless from any loss, cost, expense or liability, including,
                  without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of
                  or in connection with any Letters of Credit.

                  (c) Borrower may request that Bank issue a Letter of Credit
                  payable in a currency other than United States Dollars. If a
                  demand for payment is made under any such Letter of Credit,
                  Bank shall treat such demand as an Advance to Borrower of the
                  equivalent of the amount thereof (plus cable charges) in
                  United States currency at the then prevailing rate of exchange
                  in San Francisco, California, for sales of that other currency
                  for cable transfer to the country of which it is the currency.

                  (d) Upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit payable in a
                  currency other than United States Dollars, Bank shall create a
                  reserve under the Committed Revolving Line for letters of
                  credit against fluctuations in currency exchange rates, in an
                  amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the face amount of such
                  Letter of Credit (the "Letter of Credit Reserve"). The amount
                  of such Letter of Credit Reserve may be amended by Bank from
                  time to time to account for fluctuations in the exchange rate.
                  The availability of funds under the Committed Revolving Line
                  shall be reduced by the amount of such Letter of Credit
                  Reserve for so long as such Letter of Credit remains
                  outstanding.

                  2.1.3    Foreign Exchange Contract; Foreign Exchange 
                           Settlements.

                  (a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Borrower may enter
                  into foreign exchange contracts (the "Exchange Contracts") not
                  to exceed an aggregate amount of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND


                                       3

<PAGE>

                  AND NO/100THS Dollars ($250,000) (the "Contract Limit"),
                  pursuant to which Bank shall sell to or purchase from Borrower
                  foreign currency on a spot or future basis. Borrower shall not
                  request any Exchange Contracts at any time it is out of
                  compliance with any of the provisions of this Agreement. All
                  Exchange Contracts must provide for delivery or settlement on
                  or before the Revolving Maturity Date. The amount available
                  under the Committed Revolving Line at any time shall be
                  reduced by the following amounts (the "Foreign Exchange
                  Reserve") on any given day (the "Determination Date"): (i) on
                  all outstanding Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be
                  effected or settlement allowed more than two business days
                  after the Determination Date, 10% of the gross amount of the
                  Exchange Contracts; plus (ii) on all outstanding Exchange
                  Contracts on which delivery is to be effected or settlement
                  allowed within two business days after the Determination Date,
                  100% of the gross amount of the Exchange Contracts.

                  (b) Bank may, in its discretion, terminate the Exchange
                  Contracts at any time (a) that an Event of Default occurs or
                  (b) that there is no sufficient availability under the
                  Committed Revolving Line and Borrower does not have available
                  funds in its bank account to satisfy the Foreign Exchange
                  Reserve. If Bank terminates the Exchange Contracts, and
                  without limitation of any applicable indemnities, Borrower
                  agrees to reimburse Bank for any and all fees, costs and
                  expenses relating thereto or arising in connection therewith.

                  (c) Borrower shall not permit the total gross amount of all
                  Exchange Contracts on which delivery is to be effected and
                  settlement allowed in any two business day period to be more
                  than $100,000 (the "Settlement Limit") nor shall Borrower
                  permit the total gross amount of all Exchange Contracts to
                  which Borrower is a party, outstanding at any one time, to
                  exceed the Contract Limit. Notwithstanding the above, however,
                  the amount which may be settled in any two (2) business day
                  period may be increased above the Settlement Limit up to, but
                  in no event to exceed, the amount of the Contract Limit under
                  either of the following circumstances:

                  (i) if there is sufficient availability under the Committed
                  Revolving Line in the amount of the Foreign Exchange Reserve
                  as of each Determination Date, provided that Bank in advance
                  shall reserve the full amount of the Foreign Exchange Reserve
                  against the Committed Revolving Line; or

                  (ii) if there is insufficient availability under the Committed
                  Revolving Line, as to settlements within any two (2) business
                  day period, provided that Bank, in its sole discretion, may:
                  (A) verify good funds overseas prior to crediting Borrower's
                  deposit account with Bank (in the case of Borrower's sale of
                  foreign currency); or (B) debit Borrower's deposit account
                  with Bank prior to delivering foreign currency overseas (in
                  the case of Borrower's purchase of foreign currency).

                  (d) In the case of Borrower's purchase of foreign currency,
                  Borrower in advance shall instruct Bank upon settlement either
                  to treat the settlement amount as an advance under the
                  Committed Revolving Line, or to debit Borrower's account for
                  the amount settled.

                  (e) Borrower shall execute all standard form applications and
                  agreements of Bank in connection with the Exchange Contracts


                                       4

<PAGE>

                  and, without limiting any of the terms of such applications
                  and agreements, Borrower will pay all standard fees and
                  charges of Bank in connection with the Exchange Contracts.

                  (f) Without limiting any of the other terms of this Agreement
                  or any such standard form applications and agreement of Bank,
                  Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank and hold it harmless, from
                  and against any and all claims, debts, liabilities, demands,
                  obligations, actions, costs and expenses (including, without
                  limitation, attorneys' fees of counsel of Bank's choice), of
                  every nature and description which it may sustain or incur,
                  based upon, arising out of, or in any way relating to any of
                  the Exchange Contracts or any transactions relating thereto or
                  contemplated thereby.

                  1998 (the "Equipment Availability End Date"), Bank agrees to
                  make advances (each an "Equipment Advance" and collectively,

                  Bank, excluding taxes, shipping, warranty charges, freight
                  discounts and installation expense. Software and tenant
                  improvements may, however, constitute up to TWENTY FIVE

                  Equipment Availability End Date and ending on the Maturity
                  Date. Equipment Advances, once repaid, may not be reborrowed.

                  (c) When Borrower desires to obtain an Equipment Advance,

                  than the Committed Revolving Line or the Borrowing Base,

$250,000                                                   Woburn, Massachusetts
                                                                 October 8, 1997

         FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ENDOGEN, INC., a Massachusetts
corporation (the "Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of Silicon Valley
Bank, a California-chartered bank ("Bank"), at such place as the holder hereof
may designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all advances ("Advances") made by Bank to Borrower in
accordance with the terms of the Loan and Security Agreement between Borrower
and Bank dated August 31, 1997, as amended from time to time (the "Loan
Agreement"), up to a maximum principal amount of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND
NO/100THS Dollars ($250,000), until paid in full. Borrower shall also pay
interest on the aggregate unpaid principal amount of such Advances at the rates
and in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement.
The entire principal amount and all accrued interest shall be due and payable on
MARCH 27, 2001.

         Borrower irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any
and all payments at any time hereafter received by Bank from or on behalf of
Borrower, and Borrower irrevocably agrees that Bank shall have the continuing
exclusive right to apply any and all such payments against the then due and
owing obligations of Borrower as Bank may deem advisable. In the absence of a
specific determination by Bank with respect thereto, all payments shall be
applied in the following order: (a) then due and payable fees and expenses; (b)
then due and payable interest payments and mandatory prepayments; and (c) then
due and payable principal payments and optional prepayments.

         Bank is hereby authorized by Borrower to endorse on Bank's books and
records each Advance made by Bank under this Note and the amount of each payment
or prepayment of principal of each such Advance received by Bank; it being
understood, however, that failure to make any such endorsement (or any error in
notation) shall not affect the obligations of Borrower with respect to Advances
made hereunder, and payments of principal by Borrower shall be credited to
Borrower notwithstanding the failure to make a notation (or any errors in
notation) thereof on such books and records.

         Borrower promises to pay Bank all costs and expenses of collection of
this Note and to pay all reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such collection,
whether or not there is a suit or action, or in any suit or action to collect
this Note or in any appeal thereof. Borrower waives presentment, demand,
protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor, notice of nonpayment, and any
and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance,
performance, default or enforcement of this Note, as well as any applicable
statutes of limitations. No delay by Bank in exercising any power or right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right.
Time is of the essence as to all obligations hereunder.

         This Note is issued pursuant to the Loan Agreement, which shall govern
the rights and obligations of Borrower with respect to all obligations
hereunder.

         This Note shall be deemed to be made under, and shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
excluding conflicts of laws principles.

         Executed as an instrument under seal.
