FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements.
These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. We
have attempted to identify forward-looking statements by terminology including
"anticipate," "believe," "can," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect,"
"intend," "may," "plan," "potential," "predict," "should" or "will" or the
negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are
only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other
factors, including the risks outlined under "Item 2. Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Risk Factors," that
may cause our or our industry's actual results, levels of activity, performance
or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels or
activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these
forward-looking statements.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,

LEXICON GENETICS INCORPORATED

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Lexicon
Genetics Incorporated (Lexicon or the Company) have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information
and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC). 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 adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended September
30, 2001 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for
the year ended December 31, 2001.

For further information, refer to the financial statements and
footnotes thereto included in Lexicon's annual report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the SEC.

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 141, "Business
Combinations," and No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These
statements, which Lexicon adopted in the third quarter of 2001, generally
require that all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 be
accounted for using the purchase method. Additionally, any resulting goodwill
will not be amortized, rather it will be subject to at least an annual
impairment test. Acquired intangible assets must be separately recognized and
amortized over their useful lives.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This new standard on asset
impairment supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and will be effective for
the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. The Company believes that the
adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its financial
statements.

2. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period. Shares
associated with stock options and warrants are not included because they are
antidilutive. There are no differences between basic and diluted net loss per
share for all periods presented.

3. DEFERRED STOCK COMPENSATION

Deferred stock compensation represents the difference between the
exercise price of stock options and the fair value of Lexicon's common stock at
the date of grant. Deferred stock compensation is amortized over the vesting
periods of the individual stock options for which it was recorded, generally
four years. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, Lexicon
amortized $8.1 million and $18.2 million, respectively, of deferred stock
compensation. If vesting continues in accordance with the


6
outstanding individual stock options, Lexicon expects to record amortization
expense for deferred stock compensation as follows: $2.7 million during the last
three months of 2001, $10.7 million during 2002, $10.6 million during 2003 and
$947,000 during 2004. The amount of stock based compensation expense to be
recorded in future periods may decrease if unvested options for which deferred
stock compensation expense has been recorded are subsequently canceled or
forfeited or may increase if additional options are granted to individuals other
than employees or directors.

4. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING AND CONVERSION OF PREFERRED STOCK

In April 2000, Lexicon completed an initial public offering of
10,000,000 newly-issued shares of its common stock at a price of $22.00 per
share. Lexicon received $203.2 million in cash, net of underwriting discounts,
commissions and other offering costs.

Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, the
4,244,664 shares of Redeemable Convertible Series A Preferred Stock then
outstanding were automatically converted into 12,733,992 shares of common stock.

5. RESTRICTED CASH AND INVESTMENTS

The Company is required to maintain restricted cash or investments to
the extent of borrowings made under the synthetic lease agreement under which it
leases its office and laboratory facilities in The Woodlands, Texas. As of
September 30, 2001, borrowings were $26.3 million as compared to $13.4 million
as of December 31, 2000.

6. FINANCING AND DEBT OBLIGATIONS

In June 1999, the Company entered into a $5.0 million financing
agreement for the purchase of property and equipment. As of September 30, 2001,
the Company had drawn down a total of approximately $4.2 million under this
arrangement. As of September 30, 2001, $364,000 was outstanding under this
arrangement. This facility accrues interest at a rate of 12.2% and principal and
interest is due in monthly installments through 2003. The Company intends to
retire this debt obligation by December 31, 2001; therefore, the total
obligation has been classified as current debt. A 3% prepayment premium is
required upon early extinguishment of the debt and is being accrued as interest
expense using the effective interest rate method until the debt is retired.

7. COELACANTH ACQUISITION

On July 12, 2001, the Company completed the acquisition of Coelacanth
Corporation (Coelacanth) in a merger, under an Agreement and Plan of Merger
entered into on June 13, 2001. Coelacanth uses proprietary chemistry
technologies to create compound libraries for drug discovery screening and
innovative compound sets that shorten lead discovery and lead optimization time
for drug development. Coelacanth forms the core of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, a
new division of the Company, responsible for small molecule compound discovery.
The results of Lexicon Pharmaceuticals are included in the Company's results of
operations for the period from July 12 to September 30, 2001.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company issued an
aggregate of 2,918,991 shares of common stock in exchange for 100% of
Coelacanth's outstanding capital stock. An aggregate of 10% of the shares of
common stock issued in the merger have been placed in escrow for one year to
satisfy claims, if any, that the Company may have for breaches of Coelacanth's
representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement. The Company
also assumed Coelacanth's outstanding options and warrants in the merger,
resulting in the issuance of options and warrants to purchase 122,650 and 25,169


7
shares, respectively, of its common stock. The Company has allocated a portion
of the intrinsic value of the options that remained unvested as of July 12, 2001
to deferred compensation and expects to recognize the expense as the options
vest. The Company recorded goodwill and other intangible assets of approximately
$25.8 million and $6.0 million, respectively, in connection with the acquisition
of Coelacanth.

The Coelacanth acquisition was accounted for as a purchase. The cost to
acquire Coelacanth has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed according to their respective fair values on July 12, 2001, with the
excess purchase price being allocated to goodwill. The fair value of common
stock issued in connection with the acquisition of Coelacanth was determined in
accordance with EITF Issue No. 99-12. The Company used the Black-Scholes option
pricing model to value the securities issued in exchange for Coelacanth's
outstanding options and warrants. The allocation of the purchase price is based
on a formal valuation analysis which was completed by an independent appraisal
firm.

The purchase price for the acquisition consisted of the following:

<Table>
<S> <C>
Value of common stock issued......................... $ 33,731,860
Assumption of Coelacanth's options and warrants...... 1,133,582
Transaction costs.................................... 1,157,562

The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated as follows:

Goodwill............................................. 25,780,581
Other intangible assets.............................. 6,000,000
------------
Total purchase price............................. $ 36,023,004
============
</Table>

Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the
fair value of the underlying net identifiable assets, is not subject to
amortization. The Company expects to perform an annual impairment assessment of
the value assigned to goodwill. Other intangible assets represent Coelacanth's
technology platform, which consists of its proprietary ClickChem(TM) reactions,
novel building blocks and compound sets, automated production systems, high
throughput ADMET (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity)
capabilities and its know-how and trade secrets. The Company expects to amortize
the value assigned to other intangible assets on a straight-line basis over an
estimated life of five years.

The following unaudited pro forma results of operations of the Company
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively,
assumes the acquisition of Coelacanth occurred on January 1, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and assumes the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
purchased and the liabilities assumed based on fair values at the date of
acquisition. Pro forma net loss includes amortization of other intangible
assets; however, it does not include any amortization of goodwill.

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

OVERVIEW

We are defining the functions of genes for drug discovery using mice
whose DNA has been altered to disrupt, or "knock out," the function of the
altered gene. Our proprietary gene trapping and gene targeting technologies
enable us to rapidly generate these knockout mice by altering the DNA of genes
in a special variety of mouse cells, called embryonic stem (ES) cells, which can
be cloned and used to generate mice with the altered gene. We employ an
integrated platform of advanced medical technologies to systematically analyze
the functions and pharmaceutical relevance of the genes we have knocked out. We
capture the information resulting from this analysis for our use, and use by our
collaborators, to discover pharmaceutical products based on genomics - the study
of genes and their function.

With our acquisition of Coelacanth Corporation on July 12, 2001, we
added capabilities in the development of chemical compounds for small molecule
drug discovery. We are using these capabilities in internal drug discovery
programs and in drug discovery collaborations. We also sell certain compounds
from our chemical libraries to third parties for their internal use.

We derive substantially all of our revenues from subscriptions to our
databases, drug discovery alliances, functional genomics collaborations for the
development and, in some cases, analysis of the physiological effects of genes
altered in knockout mice, technology licenses and compound sales. To date, we
have generated a substantial portion of our revenues from a limited number of
sources.

Since our inception, we have incurred significant losses and, as of
September 30, 2001, we had an accumulated deficit of $79.1 million. Our losses
have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development,
general and administrative costs associated with our operations, and non-cash
stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options granted to
employees and consultants prior to our April 2000 initial public offering.
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and related
personnel costs, material costs, legal expenses resulting from intellectual
property prosecution and other expenses related to our drug discovery and
LexVision programs, the expansion of our OmniBank library, the development and
analysis of knockout mice and our other functional genomics research efforts,
and the development of chemical libraries. We expense our research and
development costs as they are incurred. General and administrative expenses
consist primarily of salaries and related expenses for executive, finance and
other administrative personnel, professional fees and other corporate expenses,
including business development and general legal activities as well as expenses
related to our patent infringement litigation against Deltagen, Inc. In
connection with the expansion of our drug discovery and LexVision programs, our
OmniBank database and library and our functional genomics research efforts, we
expect to incur increasing research and development and general and
administrative costs. As a result, we will need to generate significantly higher
revenues to achieve profitability.

Deferred stock-based compensation represents the difference between the
exercise price of stock options granted and the fair value of our common stock
at the applicable date of grant. Stock-based compensation is amortized over the
vesting period of the individual stock options for which it was recorded,
generally four years. Assuming continued vesting of all outstanding stock
options in accordance with their terms, we expect to record amortization expense
for deferred stock-based compensation as follows: $2.7 million during the last
three months of 2001, $10.7 million during 2002, $10.6 million during 2003 and
$947,000 during 2004. The amount of stock-based compensation expense to be
recorded in future periods may decrease if unvested options for which deferred
stock compensation expense has


10
been recorded are subsequently canceled or forfeited or may increase if
additional options are granted to non-employee consultants or advisors.

Our quarterly operating results will depend upon many factors,
including our success in establishing new database subscription and research
contracts with collaborators, expirations of such contracts, the success rate of
our discovery efforts leading to milestones and royalties, the timing and
willingness of collaborators to commercialize products which may result in
royalties, and general and industry-specific economic conditions which may
affect research and development expenditures. As a consequence, our quarterly
operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to do so in the
future.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On July 12, 2001, we completed the acquisition of Coelacanth
Corporation in a merger, under an Agreement and Plan of Merger entered into on
June 13, 2001. Coelacanth, which uses proprietary chemistry technologies to
rapidly discover new chemical entities for drug development, forms the core for
our new Lexicon Pharmaceuticals division, based in Princeton, New Jersey. In
Lexicon Pharmaceuticals, we are combining our drug target discoveries with
Coelacanth's high performance chemistry technologies to discover potential new
drugs.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company issued an
aggregate of 2,918,991 shares of common stock in exchange for all of
Coelacanth's outstanding capital stock. An aggregate of 10% of the shares of
common stock issued in the merger have been placed in escrow for one year to
satisfy claims, if any, that the Company may have for breaches of Coelacanth's
representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement. The Company
assumed Coelacanth's outstanding options and warrants in the merger.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Revenues. Total revenues increased 140% to $13.5 million in the three
months ended September 30, 2001 from $5.6 million in the corresponding period in
2000. Of the $7.9 million increase, $8.2 million was derived from increased
database subscription and technology license fees and $1.2 million was derived
from revenues from compound library sales. These increases were partially offset
by a $1.4 million decrease in revenues from collaborative research and a $58,000
decrease in other revenue.

We had several new sources of revenues in the three months ended
September 30, 2001. During the quarter:

o we began to recognize revenues under our drug discovery alliance
and LexVision agreements with Incyte Genomics, Inc.;

o we entered into, and recognized revenue for technology license
fees under, sublicense agreements with GlaxoSmithKline plc, Merck
& Co., Inc. and Pfizer Inc; and

o we began to recognize revenues under agreements with
pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies for access to chemical
libraries and optimization services, as a result of our
acquisition of Coelacanth in July 2001.



11
Our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2000 included $4.1 million
of collaborative research revenues recognized in connection with the conclusion
of our 1997 agreement with the Merck Genome Research Institute. Our quarterly
operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to do so in the
future, and we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating
results are not a good indication of our future performance.

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses,
including stock-based compensation expense, increased 117% to $15.0 million in
the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $6.9 million in the corresponding
period in 2000. Research and development expenses for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 included $1.3 million and $1.4 million,
respectively, of stock-based compensation primarily relating to option grants
made prior to our April 2000 initial public offering. The increase of $8.1
million in research and development expenses exclusive of stock-based
compensation was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs to support
the expansion of our drug discovery and LexVision programs, our OmniBank
database and library, and our development and analysis of knockout mice and
other functional genomics research efforts, as well as increased costs resulting
from our acquisition of Coelacanth.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, increased 79% to $6.4
million in the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $3.6 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. General and administrative expenses for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 included $1.3 million and $1.7 million,
respectively, of stock-based compensation primarily relating to option grants
made prior to our April 2000 initial public offering. The increase of $3.2
million in general and administrative expenses exclusive of stock-based
compensation was due primarily to additional personnel costs for business
development and finance and administration and expenses associated with our
patent infringement litigation against Deltagen, Inc., as well as increased
costs resulting from our acquisition of Coelacanth.

Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income decreased to $1.8
million in the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $3.5 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. The decrease resulted from lower interest rates
and decreased average cash and investment balances during the 2001 period.
Interest expense was $85,000 and $100,000 in the three months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Net Loss and Net Loss Per Common Share. Net loss attributable to common
stockholders increased to $6.2 million in the three months ended September 30,
2001 from $1.5 million in the corresponding period in 2000. Net loss per common
share increased to $0.12 in the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $0.03
in the corresponding period of 2000. A portion of the net loss for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 and all of the net loss for the corresponding
period in 2000 were attributable to stock-based compensation expense. Excluding
stock-based compensation expense, we would have had a net loss of $3.6 million
and net loss per common share of $0.07 in the three months ended September 30,
2001, as compared to net income of $1.5 million and net income per common share
of $0.03 in the corresponding period in 2000.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2001 and 2000

Revenues. Total revenues increased 76% to $20.3 million in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 from $11.5 million in the corresponding period
in 2000. Of the $8.8 million increase, $9.2 million was derived from increased
database subscription and technology license fees and $1.2 million was derived
from revenues from compound library sales. These increases were partially offset
by a $1.3 million decrease in revenues from collaborative research and a
$227,000 decrease in other revenue.


12
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses,
including stock-based compensation expense, increased 56% to $35.6 million in
the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $22.8 million in the corresponding
period in 2000. Research and development expenses for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 and 2000 included $4.1 million and $9.6 million,
respectively, of stock-based compensation primarily relating to option grants
made prior to our April 2000 initial public offering. The increase of $18.2
million in research and development expenses exclusive of stock-based
compensation was primarily attributable to increased personnel costs to support
the expansion of our drug discovery and LexVision programs, our OmniBank
database and library, and our development and analysis of knockout mice and
other functional genomics research efforts, as well as increased costs resulting
from our acquisition of Coelacanth.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative
expenses, including stock-based compensation expense, increased 18% to $15.8
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $13.4 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. General and administrative expenses for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000 included $4.0 million and $8.6 million,
respectively, of stock-based compensation primarily relating to option grants
made prior to our April 2000 initial public offering. The increase of $7.0
million in general and administrative expenses exclusive of stock-based
compensation was due primarily to additional personnel costs for business
development and finance and administration and expenses associated with our
patent infringement litigation against Deltagen, Inc., as well as increased
costs resulting from our acquisition of Coelacanth.

Interest Income and Interest Expense. Interest income increased to $7.1
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $6.5 million in the
corresponding period in 2000. The increase resulted from increased average cash
and investment balances during the 2001 period as a result of our initial public
offering in April 2000. Interest expense was $296,000 and $339,000 in the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.

Net Loss and Net Loss Per Common Share. Net loss attributable to common
stockholders increased to $24.2 million in the nine months ended September 30,
2001 from $18.6 million in the corresponding period in 2000. Net loss per common
share increased to $0.49 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 from $0.47
in the corresponding period of 2000. A portion of the net loss for the nine
months ended September 30, 2001 and most of the net loss for the corresponding
period in 2000 were attributable to stock-based compensation expense. Excluding
stock-based compensation expense, and assuming the conversion of the redeemable
convertible preferred stock into common stock occurred on the date of original
issuance (May 1998), we would have had a net loss of $16.1 million and $283,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and net loss
per common share of $0.32 and $0.01 in the nine months ended September 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, "Business Combinations," and No. 142,
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." These statements, which Lexicon adopted
in the third quarter of 2001, generally require that all business combinations
initiated after June 30, 2001, be accounted for using the purchase method.
Additionally, any resulting goodwill will not be amortized, but rather will be
subject to at least an annual impairment test. Acquired intangible assets will
be separately recognized and amortized over their useful lives.

In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This new standard on asset
impairment supersedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," and will be


13
effective for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2002. The Company believes
that the adoption of this standard will not have a material impact on its
financial statements.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We have financed our operations from inception primarily through sales
of common and preferred stock, contract and milestone payments to us under our
database subscription and collaboration agreements and equipment financing
arrangements. From our inception through September 30, 2001, we had received net
proceeds of $241.9 million from issuances of common and preferred stock,
including $203.2 million of net proceeds from the initial public offering of our
common stock in April 2000. In addition, from our inception through September
30, 2001, we received $49.5 million in cash payments from database subscription
and technology license fees, drug discovery alliances, functional genomics
collaborations for the development and analysis of knockout mice, sales of
reagents and compound libraries, and government grants, and have recognized
revenues of $43.0 million through September 30, 2001.

As of September 30, 2001, we had $176.4 million in cash, cash
equivalents and marketable securities, as compared to $202.7 million as of
December 31, 2000. We used $14.8 million in operations in the nine months ended
September 30, 2001. This consisted of the net loss for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001 of $24.2 million offset by non-cash charges of $8.1 million
related to stock-based compensation expense, $260,000 related to amortization of
other intangible assets and $3.4 million related to depreciation expense, which
in turn was offset by a $2.4 million net increase in other working capital
accounts and long-term deferred revenue. Investing activities provided $3.1
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2001, principally as a result of
maturities of marketable securities.

In June 1999, we entered into a $5.0 million financing arrangement for
the purchase of property and equipment which is secured by the equipment
financed. We borrowed a total of approximately $4.2 million under this
arrangement, of which $364,000 remained outstanding at September 30, 2001. This
facility accrues interest at a rate of 12.2%, and principal and interest is due
in monthly installments through 2003. The Company intends to retire this debt by
December 31, 2001.

In October 2000, we entered into a synthetic lease agreement under
which the lessor purchased our current laboratory and office space and animal
facility and agreed to fund the construction of additional laboratory and office
space and a second animal facility. Including the purchase price for our
existing facilities, the synthetic lease provides for funding of up to $50.0
million in property and improvements. The term of the agreement is six years,
which includes the construction period and a lease period. Lease payments for
the new facilities will begin upon completion of construction, which is expected
in the fourth quarter of 2001. Lease payments are subject to fluctuation based
on LIBOR rates. At the end of the lease term, the lease may be extended for
one-year terms, up to seven additional terms, or we may purchase the properties
for a price including the outstanding lease balance. If we elect not to renew
the lease or purchase the properties, we must arrange for the sale of the
properties to a third party. Under the sale option, we have guaranteed a
percentage of the total original cost as the residual fair value of the
properties. The Company is required to maintain restricted cash or investments
to the extent of borrowings made under the synthetic lease agreement. As of
September 30, 2001, borrowings were $26.3 million as compared to $13.4 million
as of December 31, 2000.

Our capital requirements depend on numerous factors, including our
ability to obtain database subscription, drug discovery alliance and
collaboration agreements, the amount and timing of payments under such
agreements, the level and timing of our research and development expenditures,
market acceptance of our products, the resources we devote to developing and
supporting our products and other factors. We expect to devote substantial
capital resources to continue our research and development



14
efforts, to expand our support and product development activities, and for other
general corporate activities. We believe that our current cash balances,
together with revenues to be derived from subscriptions to our databases, drug
discovery alliances and functional genomics collaborations will be sufficient to
fund our operations for at least the next several years. During or after this
period, if cash generated by operations is insufficient to satisfy our liquidity
requirements, we may need to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain
additional credit arrangements. Additional financing may not be available on
terms acceptable to us or at all. The sale of additional equity or convertible
debt securities may result in additional dilution to our stockholders.

IMPACT OF INFLATION

The effect of inflation and changing prices on our operations was not
significant during the periods presented.

DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our exposure to market risk is confined to our cash and cash
equivalents which have maturities of less than three months. We maintain an
investment portfolio which consists of U.S. government debt obligations and
investment grade commercial paper that mature one to twelve months after
September 30, 2001, which we believe are subject to limited credit risk. We
currently do not hedge interest rate exposure. Because of the short-term
maturities of our investments, we believe that changes in market rates would not
have any negative impact on the realized value of our investment portfolio.

We have operated primarily in the United States and substantially all
sales to date have been made in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we have not had any
material exposure to foreign currency rate fluctuations.

RISK FACTORS

Our business is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including
those referenced below:

Risks Related to Our Business

o we have a history of net losses, and we expect to continue to
incur net losses and may not achieve or maintain profitability

o our quarterly operating results have been and likely will continue
to fluctuate, and we believe that quarter-to-quarter comparisons
of our operating results are not a good indication of our future
performance

o we are an early-stage company with an unproven business strategy

o we face substantial competition in the discovery of the DNA
sequences of genes and their functions and in our drug discovery
and product development efforts

o we rely heavily on collaborators to develop and commercialize
pharmaceutical products based on genes that we identify as
promising candidates for development as drug targets

o any cancellation by or conflicts with our collaborators could harm
our business



15
o    we have no experience in developing and commercializing
pharmaceutical products on our own

o we may engage in future acquisitions, which may be expensive and
time consuming and from which we may not realize anticipated
benefits

o if we lose our key personnel or are unable to attract and retain
additional personnel, we may be unable to pursue collaborations or
develop our own products

o we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could
increase our losses

o because our entire OmniBank mouse clone library is located at a
single facility, the occurrence of a disaster could significantly
disrupt our business

o we may need additional capital in the future and, if it is not
available, we may have to curtail or cease operations

Risks Related to Our Industry

o our ability to patent our discoveries is uncertain because patent
laws and their interpretation are highly uncertain and subject to
change

o our patent applications may not result in enforceable patent
rights

o if other companies and institutions obtain patents claiming the
functional uses of genes and gene products based upon gene
sequence information and predictions of gene function, we may be
unable to obtain patents for our discoveries of biological
function in knockout mice

o we may become involved in patent litigation and other disputes
regarding intellectual property rights, and can give no assurance
that we will prevail in any such litigation or other dispute

o issued patents may not fully protect our discoveries, and our
competitors may be able to commercialize products similar to those
covered by our issued patents

o our rights to the use of technologies licensed by third parties
are not within our control

o we may be unable to protect our trade secrets

o we may become subject to regulation under the Animal Welfare Act,
which could subject us to additional costs and permit requirements

o we and our collaborators are subject to extensive and uncertain
government regulatory requirements, which could increase our
operating costs or adversely affect our ability to obtain
government approval of products based on genes that we identify in
a timely manner or at all

o security risks in electronic commerce or unfavorable internet
regulation may deter future use of our products and services

o we use hazardous chemicals and radioactive and biological
materials in our business; any disputes relating to improper
handling, storage or disposal of these materials could be time
consuming and costly


16
o    we may be sued for product liability

o public perception of ethical and social issues may limit or
discourage the use of our technologies, which could reduce our
revenues

For additional discussion of the risks and uncertainties that affect
our business, see "Item 1. Business - Risk Factors" included in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

See "Disclosure about Market Risk" under "Item 2. Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for
quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On May 24, 2000, we filed a complaint against Deltagen, Inc. in U.S.
District Court for the District of Delaware alleging that Deltagen was willfully
infringing the claims of United States Patent No. 5,789,215, under which we hold
an exclusive license from GenPharm International, Inc. This patent covers
methods of engineering the animal genome, including methods for the production
of knockout mice by homologous recombination, using isogenic DNA technology. In
the complaint, we sought unspecified damages from Deltagen, as well as
injunctive relief. Deltagen counterclaimed for a declaratory judgment that the
patent was invalid and unenforceable and was not infringed by Deltagen. On
November 14, 2000, Deltagen filed an amended counterclaim alleging antitrust
claims against us and GenPharm, for which Deltagen sought unspecified damages.

On October 13, 2000, we filed a second complaint against Deltagen, Inc.
in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California alleging that
Deltagen was willfully infringing the claims of United States Patents Nos.
5,464,764, 5,487,992, 5,627,059, and 5,631,153, under which also we hold
exclusive licenses from GenPharm International. These patents cover methods and
vectors for using positive-negative selection for producing gene targeted, or
"knockout," cells and animals, including the production of knockout mice by
homologous recombination. In the complaint, we sought unspecified damages from
Deltagen, as well as injunctive relief. Deltagen counterclaimed for a
declaratory judgment that the patents were invalid and unenforceable and were
not infringed by Deltagen.

On September 19, 2001, we entered into a settlement of our patent
infringement litigation against Deltagen. Under the terms of the settlement,
Deltagen obtained a license under the patents covering our gene targeting
technologies, Lexicon obtained access to Deltagen's DeltaBase(TM) database of
mammalian genes and their in vivo functions, and all of the claims and
counterclaims in our litigation against Deltagen were dismissed with prejudice.
Our access to DeltaBase includes non-exclusive, perpetual licenses to the 250
drug targets currently represented in DeltaBase and the 1,000 additional drug
targets that are to be added to DeltaBase over the next four years. We will have
the opportunity to receive payments for Deltagen's fee-for-service generation of
knockout mice, and Deltagen will have the opportunity to receive milestone and
royalty payments for potential therapeutic and diagnostic products we may
develop from drug targets in DeltaBase. Neither party will pay access or license
fees. We believe the terms of the


17
settlement are favorable to us, and consider the settlement to be a successful
resolution of our patent infringement litigation against Deltagen.

We are not presently a party to any material legal proceedings.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

Certain of our corporate officers have adopted Rule 10b5-1 plans for
the regular, monthly sale of a specified number of shares of common stock
underlying stock options, subject to minimum sales prices that vary by
individual. The purpose of the plans is to permit such individuals to exercise a
portion of their options over time, in advance of the expiration dates of such
options, which range from 2005 to 2011. The plans collectively cover the sale of
up to 29,500 shares per month. The actual number of shares to be sold in any
month under such plans will depend on the market price of the common stock
during such month. Collectively, the maximum number of shares to be sold in any
month under such plans represents less than 0.5% of the total number of shares
subject to options held by such individuals as of October 31, 2001.
