of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the six-month period ended June 30, 1997
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending December 31, 1997. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     The Company considers all highly liquid financial instruments with a
maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Net Loss Per Share

     Net loss per share is based upon the Company's aggregate net loss divided
by the weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the
respective periods. All options and warrants were antidilutive and, accordingly,
excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No.128, Earnings per Share, which is required to be adopted on December 31,
1997. At that time, the Company will be required to change the method currently
used to compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods. Under the
new requirements for calculating primary earnings per share, the dilutive effect
of stock options will be excluded. Statement No. 128 will not have a material
impact on the Company's net loss per share for the six months ended June 30,
1997 and 1996.

Principles of Consolidation

     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary OXiGENE Europe AB. Intercompany balances
and transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassification

     Certain 1996 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
period's presentation.

2.   Stockholder's Equity

     During the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company issued 859,762
shares of Common Stock upon exercise of previously granted warrants, options and
stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), with proceeds to the Company of
approximately $5.5 million.

     During the six-month period ended June 30, 1997, the Company recorded a
charge for financial reporting purposes of approximately $0.7 million because
the market value of the Company's Common Stock exceeded the exercise prices of
SARs granted by the Company. Because upon exercise SARs are satisfied only by
the distribution of shares of Common Stock, the charge was credited to
additional paid-in capital.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of 
          Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Description of Business

     OXiGENE is a development-stage pharmaceutical company engaged in the
research and development of products designed to enhance the clinical efficacy
of radiation and chemotherapy, the most common and traditional forms of
non-surgical cancer treatment. OXiGENE has devoted substantially all of its
efforts and resources to research and development conducted on its own behalf
and through strategic collaborations with clinical institutions and other
organizations, particularly the University of Lund in Lund, Sweden.
Consequently, OXiGENE believes that its research and development expenditures
have been somewhat lower than those of other comparable development-stage
companies. OXiGENE has generated a cumulative net loss of approximately $21.5
million for the period from its inception through June 30, 1997. OXiGENE expects
to incur significant additional operating losses over at least the next several
years, principally as a result of its continuing clinical trials and anticipated
research and development expenditures. The principal source of OXiGENE's working
capital has been the proceeds of private and public equity financings. As of
June 30, 1997, OXiGENE had no long-term debt or loans payable. Since its
inception, the Company has had no material amount of licensing or other fee
income, and does not anticipate any such income for the foreseeable future.

Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996

     During the six-month periods ended June 30, 1997 and 1996, the Company had
no revenues, except for approximately $1.1 million and $0.3 million of interest
income, respectively. The increase in interest income is attributable primarily
to the investment of the net proceeds of the Company's secondary offering in
connection with its listing on the Stockholm Stock Exchange, which was completed
in November 1996, as well as cash received upon exercise of options and warrants
in the first six month of 1997. See "--Liquidity and Capital Resources."
Operating expenses for those periods were approximately $5.2 million and $3.7
million, respectively. Research and development expenses for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1997 increased to approximately $4.1 million from
approximately $2.7 million for the comparable 1996 period. Research and
development expenses include a charge for financial reporting purposes of
approximately $0.7 million and $1.0 million for the six-month period ended June
30, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This charge was recorded because the market
value per share of Common Stock on June 30, 1997 ($34.75) exceeded the exercise
price of SARs previously granted by the Company to certain clinical
investigators and consultants. Without giving effect to such charge, research
and development expenses increased by approximately $1.7 million compared to the
comparable 1996 period. Generally, the Company makes payments to its clinical
investigators if and when certain predetermined milestones in its clinical
trials are reached, rather than on a fixed quarterly or monthly basis. As a
result of the foregoing and the existence of outstanding SARs, research and
development expenses have fluctuated, and are expected to continue to fluctuate,
from quarter to quarter. General and administrative expenses for the six-month
period ended June 30, 1997 increased to approximately $1.1 million from
approximately $1.0 million for the comparable 1996 period. The increase in
general and administrative expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in
the Company's activities, mostly in Sweden.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     OXiGENE has experienced net losses and negative cash flow from operations
each year since its inception and, as of June 30, 1997, had a deficit during the
development stage of approximately $21.5 million. The Company expects to incur
substantial additional expenses, resulting in significant losses, over at least
the next several years due to, among other factors, its continuing clinical
trials and anticipated research and development activities. To date, the Company
has financed its operations principally through the net proceeds it has received
from private and public equity financings.

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $42.2 million at
June 30, 1997, compared to approximately $40.5 million at December 31, 1996. The
increase in cash and cash equivalents in the first six months of 1997 is
primarily attributable to the issuance, upon exercise of outstanding options and
warrants, of 859,762 shares of Common Stock, with proceeds to the Company of
approximately $5.5 million. A portion of these proceeds was used to finance
operations during the six months ended June 30, 1997.

     OXiGENE's policy is to contain its fixed expenditures by maintaining a
relatively small number of employees and relying as much as possible on outside
services for its research, development, preclinical testing and clinical trials.
The Company maintains small executive offices in New York and in Lund, Sweden,
and recently established an office in Stockholm, Sweden. In addition, in May
1997, the Company opened a research and clinical trial coordination center in
Boston, Massachusetts. The Company contracts with Cato Research, Ltd., Durham,
North Carolina, for the coordination of the Company's clinical trials and
retention of its clinical files. The Company pays the University of Lund, Sweden
and other hospitals, where applicable, on a per patient basis for conducting its
clinical trials. Further, in May 1996, in collaboration with ILEX(TM) Oncology
Inc., a contract research organization in San Antonio, Texas ("ILEX"), the
Company established a large-scale synthesis of Oxi-104, a new chemical compound
that is expected to enter into clinical testing in the third quarter of 1997, in
accordance with current U.S. Good Laboratory Practice Standards. Through June
30, 1997, the Company has paid ILEX approximately $1.6 million, of which
approximately $0.7 was paid in the six-month period ended June 30 1997. As
research and development and clinical testing with respect to Oxi-104 continues,
the Company expects that the amounts payable to ILEX from time to time will
increase significantly.

     The Company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents as of June 30,
1997 should be sufficient to satisfy the Company's projected cash requirements
for approximately 30 months. However, working capital and capital requirements
may vary materially from those now planned due to numerous factors including,
but not limited to, the progress with the preclinical testing and clinical
trials; progress of the Company's research and development programs; the time
and costs required to obtain regulatory approvals; the resources the Company
devotes to manufacturing methods and advanced technologies; the ability of the
Company to obtain collaborative or licensing arrangements; the costs of filing,
prosecuting and, if necessary, enforcing patent claims; the cost of
commercializing activities and arrangements; and the demand for its products if
and when approved. The Company anticipates that it will have to seek substantial
additional private or public financing or enter into collaborative arrangements
with one or more third parties to complete the development of any products or
bring products to market. There can be no assurance that additional financing
will be available on acceptable terms, if at all. The Company had no material
commitments for capital expenditures as of June 30, 1997.

Tax Matters

     As of December 31, 1996, the Company had, for Federal income tax purposes,
net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $23.0 million. Pursuant to the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, annual utilization of the Company's net operating loss
carryforwards may be limited if a cumulative change in ownership of the
Company's stock of more than 50% (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue
Code) occurs within any three-year period. The Company has made no determination
concerning whether there has been such a cumulative change in ownership and it
is possible that such a change in ownership may be deemed to have occurred
following the Company's initial public offering (completed in October, 1993),
private placement (completed in July 1995) and/or secondary offering (completed
in November 1996).
