REPLIGEN CORPORATION
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by Repligen
Corporation (the "Company" or "Repligen"), pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and
do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2001.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial
statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal, recurring
adjustments, necessary to present fairly, the consolidated financial position,
results of operations and cash flows of the Company. The results of operations
for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for the entire year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Revenue Recognition

The Company generates product revenues from the sale of its Protein A
products to customers in the pharmaceutical and process chromatography
industries. The Company recognizes revenue related to product sales upon
shipment of the product to the customer.

Research and development revenue derived from collaborative arrangements is
recognized as earned under cost plus fixed-fee contracts, or on a straight-line
basis over development contracts, which approximates when work is performed and
costs are incurred. Research and development expenses in the accompanying
statements of operations include funded and unfunded expenses. In addition,
under certain contracts, the Company recognizes revenue from research and
development milestones when they are received as long as they are deemed to be
substantiated. Licensing and royalties from the Company's licensed technologies
are recognized as earned.

The Company applies Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101, Revenue
Recognition. SAB 101 requires companies to recognize certain upfront
nonrefundable fees over the life of the related alliance when such fees are
received in conjunction with alliances that have multiple elements. The adoption
of SAB No. 101 did not have a significant impact on the Company's financial
position on results of operations.

3. Net Loss Per Share

The Company applies Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No.
128, Earnings per Share. Basic and diluted net loss per share represents net
loss divided by the weighted average


6
number of common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of
the potential common shares consisting of outstanding stock options and warrants
is determined using the treasury stock method. Diluted weighted average shares
outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 exclude the
potential common shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants and stock options
because to do so would be antidilutive for the periods presented. At June 30,
2001, there were outstanding options to purchase 1,643,341 shares of the
Company's common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.65 per share
and warrants to purchase 424,846 shares of the Company's common stock at a
weighted average exercise price of $5.26 per share. At June 30, 2000, there were
outstanding options to purchase 1,367,041 shares of the Company's common stock
at a weighted average exercise price of $2.33 per share and warrants to purchase
954,782 shares of the Company's common stock at a weighted average exercise
price of $3.91 per share.

4. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The Company applies SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in
Debt and Equity Securities. At June 30, 2001, the Company's cash equivalents and
marketable securities are classified as held-to-maturity, as the Company has the
positive intent and ability to hold these securities to maturity. The Company
considers highly liquid investments purchased with original maturities at the
date of acquisition of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Marketable
securities are accounted for at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.
Cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities consist of the following at
June 30, 2001 and March 31, 2001:

7
6. Comprehensive Income

The Company applies SFAS No. 130 Reporting Comprehensive Income. SFAS No.
130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and
its components in financial statements. Comprehensive income includes all
non-owner changes in equity during a period. The Company's comprehensive net
loss is the same as its reported net loss for all periods presented.

7. Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Significant Customers

The Company applies SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information. SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for
reporting information regarding operating segments in annual financial
statements and requires selected information for those segments to be presented
in interim financial reports issued to stockholders. SFAS No. 131 also
establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services and
geographic areas. Operating segments are identified as components of an
enterprise about which separate discrete financial information is available for
evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in
order to allocate resources and assess performance. To date, the Company has
viewed its operations and manages its business as principally one operating
segment. As a result, the financial information disclosed herein represents all
of the material financial information related to the Company's principal
operating segment.

The following table represents the Company's revenue by geographic area:

Three Months Ended

2001 2000
---- ----
US 58% 59%
Europe 40% 40%
Other 2% 1%
---- ----
Total 100% 100%

During the three months ended June 30, 2001, there was one customer who
accounted for approximately 70% of the Company's revenues. During the three
months ended June 30, 2000, there were two customers who accounted for
approximately 24% and 36% of the Company's revenues. Two customers accounted for
60% and 14%, respectively, of the Company's accounts receivable at June 30,
2001. Three customers accounted for 53%, 26% and 10%, respectively, of the
Company's accounts receivable at March 31, 2001.

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

Overview

We are developing innovative therapeutic products for debilitating
pediatric diseases including autism, leukemia, metabolic and immune system
diseases based on naturally occurring peptides and proteins. Our lead
therapeutic products are secretin for autism, CTLA4-Ig for stem cell
transplantation and uridine for mitochondrial disease. Our product candidates
have the potential to produce clinical benefits not attainable with any existing
drug, in diseases for which there are few alternatives.


8
Autism is a developmental disorder characterized by poor communicative and
social skills, repetitive and restricted behaviors and in some patients,
gastrointestinal problems and irregular sleep patterns. Secretin is a hormone
produced in the small intestine which regulates the function of the pancreas as
part of the process of digestion. A form of secretin derived from pigs is
approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") for use in
diagnosing problems with pancreatic function. Recent anecdotal reports indicate
that secretin may have beneficial effects in autism, including improvements in
sleep, digestive function, communicative and social behavior. Following media
reports of the potential benefits of secretin, more than 2,000 autistic children
have been treated with the pig-derived hormone.

We have recently completed an FDA-approved, Phase 2 clinical trial on a
human, synthetic form of secretin in order to evaluate its potential benefits.
Results from the trial indicated that the parents of secretin-treated children
rated their child's symptoms to be improved compared to children who received a
placebo, a result that was statistically significant. We have also identified
two biological markers that defined a group of patients. A statistically
significant treatment effect of secretin was demonstrated in the 64 patients, or
51% of the total patient population, with normal levels of both biological
markers. In this subgroup, there was a statistically significant effect of
secretin by four endpoints including improvement in social function as
determined with the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, overall symptom
improvements as determined by the Clinical Global Impression Scale ("CGI") by
both a professional and independently a parent and an increase in receptive
language as determined by the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory.

In February 2000, we were issued a broad U.S. patent covering the use of
secretin in the treatment of autism. We are currently prosecuting additional
patent applications in the United States, Europe and Japan. There are currently
no drugs approved by the FDA for the treatment of autism.

We are also developing a product named "CTLA4-Ig," which has been shown to
suppress unwanted immune responses in animal models of organ transplants and
autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or multiple sclerosis, in which the immune
system mistakenly attacks the body. Our product candidate is a derivative of a
natural protein whose role is to turn-off an immune response. In animal models
of organ transplantation and autoimmune diseases, CTLA4-Ig has been shown to
block the rejection of a transplanted organ or the effects of the autoimmune
disease. Initial clinical testing of CTLA4-Ig has been carried out in patients
receiving a bone marrow transplant, which is a potential cure for several
diseases of the immune system, including leukemia, myeloma, lymphoma and sickle
cell anemia. Despite the clinical success of bone marrow transplants, a
significant number of patients experience a severe and potentially
life-threatening complication known as Graft Versus Host Disease, in which the
newly transplanted immune system attacks the host (i.e., the patient). In June
1999, results from a Phase 1 clinical trial reported that treatment of bone
marrow from a family member with Repligen's CTLA4-Ig prevented Graft Versus Host
Disease in eight of eleven transplant patients. In October 2000, the FDA
approved the initiation of a Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating CTLA4-Ig in
patients receiving stem cell transplant for leukemia or other malignancies. For
more information on our intellectual property rights to CTLA4-Ig, please see
"Legal Proceedings."

In December 2000, the Company licensed from the University of California,
San Diego (UCSD) rights to a U.S. patent application covering novel methods for
the treatment of mitochondrial disease. Mitochondria are small bodies found in
every cell, which produce energy for cellular processes. Mitochondrial diseases
are characterized by impaired function of many tissues particularly skeletal
muscles (weakness, poor motor skills), the nervous system (seizures, poor
cognition) and dysfunction of the heart and kidney. Uridine is a naturally
occurring substance required by all cells for the synthesis of RNA, DNA and
other essential factors. Mitochondria are the only cellular (non-dietary) source
of uridine and its synthesis is often impaired in patients with mitochondrial
disease. In a Phase 1 study at UCSD, daily


9
administration of uridine or a derivative of uridine was well tolerated by the
patients and produced symptom improvements in some patients. Repligen intends to
extend these observations in a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical study in
collaboration with UCSD and other clinical centers. For more information on our
intellectual property rights to uridine and related compounds for the treatment
of mitochondrial disease, please see "Legal Proceedings."

We develop, manufacture and market products for the production of
therapeutic antibodies. We currently market a line of products for the
purification of antibodies based on a naturally occurring protein, Protein A,
which can specifically bind to antibodies. Repligen owns composition of matter
patents for recombinant Protein A in the United States and in Europe. In
December 1998, we entered into a ten-year agreement to supply recombinant
Protein A to Amersham Pharmacia Biotech, a leading supplier to the
biopharmaceutical market.

In October 1999, Repligen obtained a license from ChiRhoClin, Inc., a
private company, to commercialize two diagnostic secretin products. These
products are synthetic, injectable forms of the natural hormone which has been
traditionally been used by gastroenterologists to assess the function of the
pancreas. New Drug Applications (NDAs) have been filed for both products. The
NDA for the synthetic porcine (pig-derived) product has been reviewed by the FDA
which indicated that it could be approved for marketing in the United States
upon satisfactory response by ChiRhoClin to a request for additional data
concerning the product's manufacturing. Both synthetic products have been
granted orphan drug status by the FDA. If the FDA approves either product, the
license agreement obligates Repligen to pay ChiRhoClin future milestones in
cash, Repligen common stock, and royalties. We cannot be certain that the FDA
will approve either product.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Total revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30,
2000, were approximately $713,000 and $661,000 respectively, an increase of
$52,000 or 8%.

Product revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June
30, 2000, were approximately $713,000 and $556,000, respectively, an increase of
$157,000 or 28%. This increase is largely attributable to the timing of
large-scale production orders of Protein A.

Research and development revenues for the three month periods ended June
30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, were approximately $0 and $30,000, respectively, a
decrease of $30,000 or 100%. During fiscal 2001, a non-recurring licensing
payment was received.

Other revenues for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June 30,
2000, were approximately $0 and $75,000, respectively, a decrease of $75,000 or
100%. The revenue recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2001 was a
termination fee paid by a sublessee.

Costs and Expenses

Total costs and expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001
and June 30, 2000, were approximately $2,400,000 and $2,144,000, respectively,
an increase of $256,000 or 12%.

Research and development expenses for the three month period ended June 30,
2001 and June 30, 2000, were approximately $1,426,000 and $1,083,000,
respectively, an increase of $343,000 or 32%. During the three months ended June
30, 2001, research and development expenses increased as a result of an increase
in costs associated with our drug development programs, offset by a decrease in
costs associated with patent application acquisition.


10
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three month periods
ended June 30, 2001 and June 30, 2000, were approximately $617,000 and $731,000,
respectively, a decrease of $114,000 or 16%. Increased spending on personnel and
associated costs and increased legal costs during the three month period ended
June 30, 2001 was offset by non-cash charges incurred for warrants issued to
consultants during the three month period ended June 30, 2000.

Cost of products sold for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and
June 30, 2000, were approximately $356,000 and $330,000, respectively, an
increase of $26,000 or 8%. Gross margin for products sold in the three month
periods ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 were 50% and 41%, respectively. This
increase in gross margin is due primarily to the product mix of product sales.

Investment and Interest Income

Investment income for the three month periods ended June 30, 2001 and June
30, 2000, was approximately $344,000 and $513,000, respectively, a decrease of
$169,000 or 33%. This decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2001 is
attributable to lower average funds available for investment and a lower
interest rate environment.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operations primarily through private placements of
common stock and revenues derived from product sales, collaborative research
agreements, government grants, and payments received pursuant to licensing and
royalty agreements. Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities at
June 30, 2001 equaled $28,101,000, a decrease of $1,829,000 from $29,930,000 at
March 31, 2001.

Repligen's operating activities used cash of approximately $1,802,000 for
the three month period ended June 30, 2001, consisting of a net loss from
operations of approximately $1,344,000, an increase in inventory of $277,000 and
prepaid expenses of $253,000 and a decrease in accounts payable and accrued
expenses of $134,000. This use of cash was offset by non-cash charges of $83,000
for depreciation and amortization and decreases in interest receivable of
$64,000 and other assets of $57,000. Our investing activities used cash of
approximately $2,247,000 for the purchase of marketable securities. Our cash was
reduced by capital expenditures of $29,000. Our financing activities provided
cash of approximately $3,000 from the proceeds of a stock option exercise.

Working capital increased to $26,530,000 at June 30, 2001 from $24,398,000
at March 31, 2001.

While we anticipate that the cost of operations will increase as we
continue to expand our investment in proprietary product development, we believe
we have sufficient funding to satisfy our working capital and capital
expenditure requirements for the next twenty-four months. Should we need to
secure additional financing to meet our future liquidity requirements, there can
be no assurances that we will be able to secure such financing, or that such
financing, if available, will be on terms favorable to us.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 2. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On June 21, 2001, Pro-Neuron, Inc. filed a complaint (the "Pro-Neuron
Complaint") against the Regents of the University of California (the "Regents")
and Repligen at the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego seeking to
void the License Agreement entered into between Repligen and the University of
California, San Diego ("UCSD") in December 2000 (the "UCSD License Agreement").
The Pro-Neuron Complaint, among other things, also requests the court order the
Regents assign all rights licensed to Repligen pursuant to the UCSD License
Agreement to Pro-Neuron pursuant to the Regent's agreement with Pro-Neuron. UCSD
and Repligen believe that the Complaint is without merit and intend to
vigorously defend their rights. If Pro-Neuron is successful in this action,
Repligen's ability to commercialize uridine for mitochondrial disease may be
limited.

Repligen and the University of Michigan (the "University") believe that the
University is entitled to rights to certain United States patents owned by
Bristol-Myers Squibb Company ("BMS"), which patents cover claims for composition
and methods of use for CTLA4. On August 31, 2000, Repligen and the University
filed a complaint against BMS at the United States District Court for the
District of Michigan in Detroit, Michigan seeking correction of inventorship on
these patents. A correction of inventorship would result in the University being
designated as a co-assignee on any corrected BMS patent. Repligen would then
have rights to such technology pursuant to a 2000 License Agreement with the
University, a 1995 Asset Acquisition Agreement with Genetics Institute and other
related agreements. Repligen's failure to obtain shared ownership rights in the
BMS patents may restrict Repligen's ability to commercialize CTLA4-Ig. Repligen
and the University have also filed patents related to compositions of matter and
methods of use of CTLA4-Ig.
