                GENZYME TRANSGENICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



         1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

                  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
                  should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report
                  on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 2, 2000 and the
                  financial statements and footnotes included therein. 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 Securities and Exchange Commission rules and
                  regulations.

                  The financial statements as of July 2, 2000 and for the three
                  and six months ended July 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999 are
                  unaudited but include, in the Company's opinion, all
                  adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring
                  adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the results for
                  the periods presented.

         2.       ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

                  The accounting policies underlying the quarterly financial
                  statements are those set forth in Note 2 of the financial
                  statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
                  10-K for the year ended January 2, 2000.

                  Per share information is based upon the weighted average
                  number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the
                  period. Common stock equivalents consisting of warrants and
                  stock options, totaled 2.7 million at July 2, 2000 and common
                  stock equivalents consisting of warrants, stock options and
                  convertible preferred stock, totaled 6.5 million at July 4,
                  1999. Since the Company was in a net loss position in the
                  periods ended July 2, 2000 and July 4, 1999, these common
                  stock equivalents were not used to compute diluted loss per
                  share, as the effect was antidilutive.

                  Included in the net loss for the six months ended July 2, 2000
                  is the Company's equity in the loss of a joint venture of
                  $2,208,000 which represents the Company's commitment to fund
                  its 30% share of the losses incurred in 2000 of the joint
                  venture between the Company and Genzyme Corporation ("ATIII
                  LLC"). Total net losses of the ATIII LLC in the first six
                  months of 2000 were $7.4 million and the ATIII LLC did not
                  record any revenues.

                  At January 2, 2000, the amortized cost and estimated fair
                  value of the Company's total investments was $42,000.

                  At July 2, 2000, the contractual maturities of the Company's
                  short-term investments available for sale range from over 3
                  months to 24 months. All of the Company's investments are
                  classified as short-term which is consistent with their
                  intended use.

         3.       NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT:

                  In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
                  ("FASB") released FASB Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for
                  Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"),
                  an interpretation of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.
                  25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). FIN
                  44 provides guidance for certain issues that arise in applying
                  APB 25. We anticipate that the adoption of FIN 44 will not
                  have a significant effect on our financial position and
                  results of operations.

         4.       NON-EMPLOYEE OPTIONS:

                  The Company had outstanding options to non-employees which
                  have been accounted for in accordance with Emerging Issues
                  Task Force ("EITF") 96-18 and Financial Interpretation No. 28
                  ("FIN 28"), which require the Company to remeasure the fair
                  value of these options at each reporting period prior to
                  vesting and then finally at the vesting date of the option.
                  Due to the decrease and subsequent stability of the Company's
                  stock price in 1998 and 1999, the amounts expensed for those
                  years were not significant. During the first and second
                  quarter of 2000, the Company recorded $1.6 million of expense
                  relating to these options to reflect the increase in value of
                  the Company's common stock and the acceleration of their
                  vesting.

         5.       INCOME TAXES:

                  Due to the profitability of some if its contract research
                  laboratories in certain states, the Company has recorded a
                  provision for income taxes for the period ended July 2, 2000.
                  This is solely a provision for state, not federal, income
                  taxes.

         6.       FACILITY CONSOLIDATION COSTS:

                  During the first quarter of 2000, the Company paid $282,000
                  relating to the facility consolidation reserve recorded in
                  1999, which had a balance of $943,000 at January 2, 2000. Of
                  this amount, $64,000 related to severance and $218,000 related
                  to rental and lease terminations.

                  During the second quarter of 2000, the Company paid an
                  additional $234,000 of which $85,000 related to severance and
                  $149,000 related to rental and lease terminations.

                  The Company recorded a reduction to the reserve of $18,000 and
                  $24,000 in each quarter ended July 2, 2000 and April 2, 2000,
                  respectively, based on changed circumstances. Similarly, the
                  Company has increased the rental and lease termination
                  reserves for an additional $18,000 and $78,000 at July 2, 2000
                  and April 2, 2000, respectively, based on changed
                  circumstances. These reductions and changes have been included
                  in selling, general and administrative expenses in 2000. The
                  remaining balance of the severance accrual and the rental and
                  lease termination accrual as of July 2, 2000 was $61,000 and
                  $3,000, respectively.

         7.       PUBLIC OFFERING:

                  In February 2000, the Company completed a public offering of
                  3.5 million shares of common stock at $20 per share. The
                  Company granted the underwriters an option to purchase an
                  additional 525,000 shares of its common stock to cover
                  overallotments, which was exercised. In total, the Company
                  issued 4,025,000 shares, including the underwriter's
                  overallotment, with net proceeds to the Company of $75.2
                  million. After the completion of the public offering, the
                  Company paid down the outstanding balance of $15.8 million on
                  its revolving credit line which remains fully available for
                  future borrowing.

                  In conjunction with the offering, the Company issued a Notice
                  of Redemption to Genzyme for all outstanding shares of the
                  Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series B
                  Preferred Stock"). Prior to the effectiveness of this
                  redemption, Genzyme converted the Series B Preferred Stock
                  into 1,048,021 shares of common stock. The Company paid a cash
                  dividend of $157,000 in conjunction with the conversion of
                  which $83,000 and $74,000 was recorded in the fourth



                                       8
<PAGE>



                  quarter of 1999 and the second quarter of 2000, respectively.
                  As a result of the offering, the $6.3 million Genzyme credit
                  line was eliminated. As of July 2, 2000, Genzyme owned
                  approximately 28.4% of the Company's common stock. If Genzyme
                  exercises all of its outstanding warrants, its ownership would
                  be 29.4%.

         8.       SERIES A CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK WARRANT EXERCISE:

                  In March 2000, the Company issued a warrant call notice for
                  450,000 warrants to purchase common stock which had been
                  issued in connection with the Company's 1998 private
                  placement. The notice permitted the Company to redeem the
                  warrants unless they were exercised prior to redemption. Each
                  warrant had an exercise price of $15.16 per share. All of the
                  warrants were exercised in March prior to the redemption date,
                  resulting in proceeds to the Company of $6.8 million.

         9.       SEGMENT INFORMATION:

                  Below is the Company's segment information for its two
                  reportable segments: contract research organization
                  ("Primedica") and research and development ("Transgenics").

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JULY 2, 2000 AND JULY 4, 1999

Total revenues for the three-month period ending July 2, 2000 were $21.2
million, compared with $18.6 million for the comparable period in 1999, an
increase of $2.6 million or 14%. Service revenues from the Company's Primedica
subsidiary increased to $17 million in the second quarter of 2000 from $14.3
million in the second quarter of 1999, an increase of $2.7 million or 19%. The
increase in service revenues is due to a concerted effort to focus on faster
growing service areas. Research and development revenue from the Company's
transgenic development business decreased to $4.2 million in the second quarter
of 2000 from $4.3 million in the second quarter of 1999, a decrease of $100,000
or 2%, due to increased revenue in the 1999 period from the achievement of a $2
million milestone offset by an increase in the number of transgenic programs.

Cost of services for the second quarter of 2000 were $14.3 million compared to
$12.1 million for the comparable period in 1999, an increase of $2.2 million or
18% primarily due to the increase in revenues. Sponsored research and
development expenses increased to $3.5 million in the second quarter of 2000
from $2.2 million in the second quarter of 1999, an increase of $1.3 million or
59%. The increase in sponsored research and development expense was due to an
increase in the number of transgenic programs. Proprietary research and
development expenses increased to $1 million in the second quarter of 2000 from
$892,000 in the second quarter of 1999, an increase of $108,000 or 12%, due to
increased work being performed on proprietary research and development programs.

Gross profit, defined as revenues less service costs and research and
development costs, for the second quarter of 2000 was $2.3 million versus a
gross profit of $3.4 million in the second quarter of 1999. Gross profit on
services for the second quarter of 2000 was $2.7 million, representing a gross
margin of 16%, versus a gross profit of $2.2 million, representing a gross
margin of 15%, in the second quarter of 1999. The increase in services gross
margin is primarily due to the increase in revenues. Gross profit on sponsored
research and development for the second quarter of 2000 was $621,000,
representing a gross margin of 15%, versus a gross profit of $2.1 million,
representing a gross margin of 48%, in the second quarter of 1999. The decrease
in sponsored research and development gross margin is due to the impact on
revenue of the achievement of a $2 million milestone in the second quarter of
1999.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses decreased to $4.8 million
in the second quarter of 2000 from $5.2 million in the second quarter of 1999, a
decrease of $400,000 or 8%. The decrease is due to SG&A cost reductions at
Primedica resulting from its facility consolidation program and a decrease in
the transgenic insurance and legal expense, partially offset by the expense
attributed to the vesting and acceleration of non-employee stock options.



                                       10
<PAGE>


Interest income increased to $1 million in the second quarter of 2000, from
$13,000 in the second quarter of 1999, due to the investment of the proceeds
generated by the public offering in February 2000. Interest expense decreased to
$438,000 in the second quarter of 2000 from $504,000 in the second quarter of
1999 due to a decreased balance on outstanding borrowings in 2000. The Company
did not record any other income in the second quarter of 2000, while it received
$484,000 in the second quarter of 1999, due to the receipt of an insurance
settlement in the earlier period.

The Company recognized $1.4 million of joint venture losses incurred on the
joint venture ("ATIII LLC") between the Company and Genzyme Corporation
("Genzyme") during the second quarter of 2000 as compared to $977,000 incurred
during the second quarter of 1999.

Due to the profitability of some of its contract research laboratories in
certain states, the Company has recorded a provision for state income taxes
during the second quarter of 2000.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JULY 2, 2000 AND JULY 4, 1999

Total revenues for the six-month period ending July 2, 2000 were $40.1 million,
compared with $33.4 million in the comparable period of 1999, an increase of
$6.7 million or 20%. Service revenues increased to $32.4 million during the
first six months of 2000 from $27.4 million in the comparable period of 1999, an
increase of $5 million or 18%. The increase in service revenues is due to a
concerted effort to focus on faster growing service areas. Research and
development revenue increased to $7.7 million during the first six months of
2000 from $6 million in the comparable period of 1999, an increase of $1.7
million or 28%. The increase in research and development revenue is due to
revenue being earned on an increasing number of transgenic programs, partially
offset by revenue earned in 1999 on the achievement of a $2 million milestone.

Cost of services during the first six months of 2000 were $27.6 million compared
to $23.6 million in the comparable period of 1999, an increase of $4 million or
17%, primarily due to the increase in revenues. Sponsored research and
development expenses increased to $6.5 million in the first six months of 2000
from $4.8 million in the comparable period of 1999, an increase of $1.7 million
or 35%. The increase in sponsored research and development expense is due to an
increase in the number of transgenic programs. Proprietary research and
development expenses decreased to $1.9 million in the first six months of 2000
from $2.2 million in the comparable period of 1999, a decrease of $300,000 or
14%. The decrease is primarily due to a concentration of resources on sponsored
research and development programs in the first quarter of 2000.
Proprietary research and development expenses fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

As a result of increased revenues, gross profit for the first six months of 2000
amounted to $4 million versus a gross profit of $2.8 million in the comparable
period of 1999. Gross profit on services for the first six months of 2000 was
$4.7 million, resulting in a gross margin of 15%, versus a gross profit on
services of $3.8 million, and a gross margin of 14%, in the comparable period of
1999. The increase in services gross margin is primarily due to the increase in
revenues. Gross profit on sponsored research and development for the first six
months of 2000 was $1.2 million, resulting in a gross margin of 16%, versus
gross profit on sponsored research and



                                       11
<PAGE>


development of $1.2 million, and a gross margin of 20%, in the comparable period
of 1999. The decrease in sponsored research and development gross margin is due
to revenue being earned on an increasing number of transgenic programs in 2000,
offset by increased revenue due to a $2 million milestone being achieved in the
comparable period of 1999.

SG&A expenses decreased to $9.3 million in the first six months of 2000 from
$9.7 million in the comparable period of 1999, a decrease of $400,000 or 4%. The
decrease is primarily due to SG&A cost reductions at Primedica resulting from
its facility consolidation program and a decrease in the transgenic insurance
and legal expense, partially offset by the expense attributed to the vesting and
acceleration of non-employee stock options.

Interest income increased to $1.6 million in the first six months of 2000, from
$20,000 in the comparable period of 1999, due to the investment of the proceeds
generated by the public offering in February 2000. Interest expense decreased to
$920,000 in the first six months of 2000 from $1 million in the comparable
period of 1999 due to a decreased balance on outstanding borrowings in 2000. The
Company did not record any other income in the first six months of 2000, while
it recorded $484,000 in the comparable period of 1999, due to the receipt of an
insurance settlement.

The Company recognized $2.2 million of joint venture losses incurred on ATIII
LLC between the Company and Genzyme during the first six months of 2000 as
compared to $1.8 million incurred during the comparable period of 1999.

Due to the profitability of some of its contract research laboratories in
certain states, the Company has recorded a provision for state income taxes
during the first six months of 2000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $68.4
million at July 2, 2000. Of this amount, cash balances totaled $36.6 million at
July 2, 2000. During the first six months of 2000, the Company had a $28.8
million net increase in cash. Sources of funds during the period included $86.7
million of net proceeds from issuance of common stock comprised of $75 million
from the public offering, $6.8 million from the exercise of warrants and $4.9
million from the issuance of common stock under various employee stock plans.
Uses of funds during the period included $31.9 million used to purchase
marketable securities, $15.8 million used to pay down the bank revolving credit
line, which remains fully available for future borrowing, $3.4 million used in
operations, $3.3 million invested in capital equipment, further expansion of the
transgenic production facility and Primedica's laboratory facilities and $2.2
million invested in the ATIII LLC. As a result of the offering, the Genzyme
credit line was eliminated.

The Company had working capital of $66.9 million at July 2, 2000 compared to a
deficit of $13.9 million at January 2, 2000. As of July 2, 2000 the Company had
$15.8 million available under a line of credit with a commercial bank, $2.9
million available under various capital lease lines and $793,000 available under
a term loan for facility expansion. The Company is preparing plans for expansion
of its transgenic production facilities in Central Massachusetts as well as
establishment of a second production site in order to facilitate growth in the
number of development programs

and commercialization of ongoing transgenic programs. Although no significant
contractual commitments have been made, it is anticipated that this capital
expansion will cost approximately $4 million in the second half of 2000 and
approximately $6 million in 2001.

Under the Company's current operating plan, existing cash balances along with
funds available under the bank and lease lines are expected to be sufficient to
fund the Company through the next few years.

Management's current expectations regarding the sufficiency of the Company's
cash resources are forward-looking statements, and the Company's cash
requirements may vary materially from such expectations. Such forward-looking
statements are dependent on several factors, including the results of the
Company's Primedica business, the ability of the Company to enter into
transgenic research and development collaborations in the future and the terms
of such collaborations, the results of research and development and preclinical
and clinical testing, competitive and technological advances and regulatory
requirements. If the Company experiences increased losses, the Company may have
to seek additional financing through collaborative arrangements or from public
or private sales of its securities, including equity securities. There can be no
assurance that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the
Company, if at all. If additional financing cannot be obtained on acceptable
terms, to continue its operations the Company could be forced to delay, scale
back or eliminate certain of its research and development programs or to enter
into license agreements with third parties for the commercialization of
technologies or products that the Company would otherwise undertake itself.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In March 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") released FASB
Interpretation No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock
Compensation" ("FIN 44"), an interpretation of Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). FIN 44
provides guidance for certain issues that arise in applying APB 25. We
anticipate that the adoption of FIN 44 will not have a significant effect on our
financial position and results of operations.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company invests cash balances in excess of operating requirements in
short-term marketable securities generally government backed obligations and
corporate obligations with an average maturity of less than one year. All
marketable securities are considered available for sale. Because of the quality
of the investment portfolio and the short-term nature of the marketable
securities, the Company does not believe that interest rate fluctuations would
impair the principal amount of the securities. There have been no other material
changes in the Company's market risk since January 2, 2000. The Company's market
risk disclosures are discussed in its Form 10-K for the year ended January 2,
2000 under the heading Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk.
