           Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 2000

1.     SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation
S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial
statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three months and six months ended June 30,
2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2000. 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, 1999.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

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

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
weighted average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the
respective periods. All options and warrants were antidilutive and, accordingly,
have been excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares.

COMPREHENSIVE INCOME

During the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, total comprehensive loss
amounted to $4,618,000, and $4,245,000, respectively.


                                       5
<PAGE>

2.     STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company issued 49,825 shares of
Common Stock upon exercise of previously granted options, warrants and
appreciation rights ("SARs"), with proceeds to the Company of approximately
$357,000.

The market value of the Company's Common Stock at June 30, 2000 was lower
than the market price of the Company's Common Stock at December 31, 1999.
Accordingly, the charge related to SARs that previously recorded for financial
reporting purpose was reduced by approximately $280,000 for the six months ended
June 30, 2000. Because upon exercise SARs are satisfied only by the distribution
of shares of Common Stock, the charge was debited to additional paid-in capital.

During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company recorded stock-based
compensation expense of approximately $241,000 in connection with options issued
to non-employees in the prior years.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
           OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

     OXiGENE is an international biopharmaceutical company engaged principally
in research into and the development of products for use in the treatment of
cancer. Historically, the Company's activities have been directed primarily
towards products designed to complement and enhance the clinical efficacy of
radiation and chemotherapy, which are the most common and traditional forms of
non-surgical cancer treatment. Recently, however, the Company has begun to
investigate certain of its developmental stage products for applications as
direct cancer treatment agents, anti-inflammatory agents or in the treatment of
fungal or other infectious diseases, as well as for DNA repair measurement and
stimulation.

      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.

      On December 15, 1999, the Company entered into a Research Collaboration
and License Agreement with Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ("BMS"), to sub-license
the rights to certain patent rights and other know-how and technology to which
the Company had an exclusive license (the "Sub-License Agreement"). Pursuant to
the terms of the Sub-License Agreement, BMS will pay a non-refundable license
fee, reimburse certain expenses incurred by the Company and fund future research
to be performed by the Company based on a research program determined by a joint
development committee. In addition, BMS will pay additional amounts upon certain
milestones being reached and royalties on future net sales of products.

      On May 17, 2000 the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with
Techniclone Corporation ("Techniclone"), forming Arcus Therapeutics LLC
("Arcus") to develop and commercialize vascular targeting agent ("VTA")
technologies. Under the terms of the agreement, Techniclone will supply its
intellectual property to the joint venture, and OXiGENE will provide its next
generation tubulin-binding compounds and, based on the development success of
the joint venture, will be required to spend up to $20 million to fund the
development expenses of Arcus. Any further funding of the joint venture
thereafter would be shared by the partners on an equal basis. In addition, the
Company has paid Techniclone an upfront licensing fee of $1 million in cash and
purchased $2 million, or 585,009 shares, of Techniclone's common stock.
Techniclone has filed a registration statement covering the resale of such
shares under the Securities Act of 1933 by OXiGENE; however, there can be no
assurances that such registration statement will be declared effective, or that
OXiGENE will be able to sell such shares on favorable terms, if at all.
Additionally, under the terms of the joint venture agreement, any sublicensing
fees generated within the joint venture will be allocated 75% to Techniclone and
25% to the Company until Techniclone has received $10 million in sublicense fee
revenues. Thereafter, the joint venture partners will share licensing fees on an
equal basis. The Company will also be required to pay Techniclone $1 million in
cash and purchase an additional $1 million in Techniclone common stock upon
the filing of an Investigational New Drug Application for the first clinical
candidate developed by Arcus. Furthermore, Techniclone and OXiGENE will share
equally any royalty income or profit from the joint venture.

      OXiGENE has generated a cumulative net loss of approximately $51.7 million
for the period from its inception through June 30, 2000. 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 financing and the
exercise of warrants and stock options, and, prior to entering into the
Sub-License Agreement, the Company had no material amount of licensing or other
fee income. As of June 30, 2000, OXiGENE had no long-term debt or loans payable.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

REVENUE

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

During the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had licensing
revenue of $0.4 million and $0 respectively, and approximately $0.5 million and
$0.3 million in interest income, respectively, as well as an unrealized gain on
short term investment of $0.3 million and $0, respectively.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

For the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, the Company had licensing
revenue of $0.9 million and $0 respectively, and approximately $1.0 million and
$0.7 million in interest income, respectively, as well as an unrealized gain on
short term investment of $0.3 million and $0, respectively.

OPERATING EXPENSES

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

Operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2000 amounted to
approximately $2.7 million, compared to $2.8 million for the comparable 1999
period. Research and development expenses decreased to $1.8 million, from $2.1
million for the comparable 1999 period. General and administrative expenses for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 decreased to approximately $0.6 million
from $0.7 million for the comparable 1999 period.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, were
approximately $6.4 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The increase in
operating expenses is primarily attributable to the Combretastatin technology.
Research and development expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000
increased to approximately $4.3 million from approximately $3.5 million for the
comparable 1999 period. SARs previously granted by the Company to certain
clinical investigators and consultants affect the research and development
expenses with a charge for financial reporting in reporting periods, when the
market value per share of Common Stock increases. Because the market value of
the Company's Common Stock at June 30, 2000 was lower than the market value on
December 31, 1999, and the market value of the Company's Common Stock at June
30, 1999 was less than the market value on December 31, 1998, the charge
previously recorded for financial reporting purposes decreased for the six
months ended June 30, 2000, and for the six months ended June 30, 1999 by
approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Without giving effect
to such credit, research and development expenses for the six months ended June
30, 2000 increased by approximately 1.0 million, compared to the comparable 1999
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, 2000
amounted to approximately $1.5 million compared to $1.5 million for the
comparable 1999 period.

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, 2000, had an accumulated
deficit of approximately $51.7 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 net proceeds it has received from
private and public equity financing.

     The Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $31.1 million at
June 30, 2000, compared to approximately $30.4 million at December 31, 1999. The
increase in cash and cash equivalents was primarily attributable to proceeds
received upon signing the licensing agreement with BMS and the exercise of
certain warrants and stock options, and (with regard to per share information),
the redemption of approximately 706,314 unexercised warrants and the
expiration of any unexercised warrants relating to the redemption call of
December 2, 1999. Net proceeds from the warrants totaled approximately $10.1
million.

      During the six months ended June 30, 2000, the Company received
approximately $0.4 million upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants
and SARs.

     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 offices in Stockholm, Sweden (executive offices and
investor relations), and in Boston, Massachusetts (for drug development and
clinical trials). The Company makes quarterly payments to the University of
Lund, Lund, Sweden, for pre-clinical research and clinical trials. The Company
has an agreement with ILEX (TM) Oncology Inc., a contract research organization
in San Antonio, Texas ("ILEX"), pursuant to which ILEX performs contract
research services and clinical trials for the Company in connection with the
preclinical and clinical testing of compounds under development by the Company,
particularly Declopramide and Combretastatin. Through June 30, 2000, the Company
has paid ILEX approximately $8.2 million of which approximately $0.6 million was
paid in the six-month period ended June 30, 2000. The amounts paid to ILEX have
fluctuated, and are expected to continue to fluctuate, from time to time.

      The Company anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents as of June 30,
2000, should be sufficient to satisfy the Company's projected cash requirements
as of that date for approximately 24 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 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
commercialization 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, 2000.

TAX MATTERS

      As of December 31, 1999, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards
of approximately $49.0 million for U.S. and foreign income tax purposes, of
which $26.6 million expires for U.S. purposes through 2019. The utilization of
approximately $2.5 million of such U.S. net operating losses is subject to an
annual limitation, pursuant to Section 382 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code, of
approximately $350,000.

IMPACT OF YEAR 2000

      The Company's internal computer information systems are Year 2000
compliant. These systems consist only of standard software from established and
recognized providers. Any new software purchases will be Year 2000 compliant.

      The Company has not encountered any significant disruptions to its
computer information systems due to Year 2000 issues. Any future risks related
thereto are therefore primarily dependent upon the computer systems of third
parties. These third parties consist mainly of leading educational institutions
and universities in the United States and Europe, and clinical research
organizations. The Company has reviewed its third party relationships in order
to assess Year 2000 issues and has no reason to believe that these third parties
will encounter any significant systems disruptions.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

     The Company's cash and cash equivalents are maintained primarily in US
dollar accounts and amounts payable for research and development to research
organizations are contracted in US dollars. Accordingly, the Company's exposure
to foreign currency risk is limited because its transactions are primarily based
in US dollars. The Company does not have any other exposure to market risk. The
Company will develop policies and procedures to manage market risk in the future
as circumstances may require.
