GG-4 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF GENZYME GENERAL'S FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS INTRODUCTION This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements represent the expectations of our management as of the filing date of this annual report. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties described under the caption "Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" for Genzyme General and Genzyme Corporation included in this annual report. You should consider carefully each of these risks and uncertainties in evaluating the financial condition and results of operations of Genzyme General and Genzyme. In June 1999, we created Genzyme Surgical Products. The business of Genzyme Surgical Products previously operated as a business unit of Genzyme General. The discussion that follows reflects the results of operations of Genzyme General as if Genzyme Surgical Products had existed as a separate division of Genzyme for all periods presented. For purposes of financial presentation, we allocate certain of our programs, products, assets and liabilities to Genzyme General and prepare separate financial statements for Genzyme General. Notwithstanding the allocation of assets and liabilities to Genzyme General, Genzyme Corporation continues to hold title to all of the assets and is responsible for all of the liabilities allocated to Genzyme General. Holders of GENZ Stock are common stockholders of Genzyme Corporation and have no specific rights to the assets to which GENZ Stock relates. We present financial information and accounting policies specific to Genzyme General in the accompanying combined financial statements. We present financial information and accounting policies relevant to the corporation and its operating divisions taken as a whole in our consolidated financial statements. You should, therefore, read this discussion and analysis of Genzyme General's financial position and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Genzyme General, the discussion and analysis of Genzyme's financial position and results of operations, and the consolidated financial statements and related notes of Genzyme, all of which are included in this annual report. GG-5 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion summarizes the key factors our management believes are necessary for an understanding of Genzyme General's financial statements. The components of Genzyme General's combined statements of operations are described in the following table: 99/98 98/97 INCREASE/ INCREASE/ (DECREASE) (DECREASE) 1999 1998 1997 % CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGE DATA) Total revenues............................ $635,366 $569,319 $496,368 12% 15% Cost of products and services sold........ 150,762 173,042 181,677 (13)% (5)% Selling, general and administrative....... 149,427 126,172 118,616 18% 6% Research and development (including research and development related to contracts).............................. 97,746 73,139 62,905 34% 16% Amortization of intangibles............... 8,106 7,610 6,887 7% 10% Purchase of in-process research and development............................. 5,436 -- -- 100% N/A -------- -------- -------- Total operating costs and expenses.... 411,477 379,963 370,085 8% 3% -------- -------- -------- Operating income.......................... 223,889 189,356 126,283 18% 50% Other income (expenses), net.............. 2,588 24,070 (5,916) (89)% 507% -------- -------- -------- Income before income taxes................ 226,477 213,426 120,367 6% 77% Provision for income taxes................

We have provided information regarding the growth in sales of Genzyme General's Gaucher disease therapies during both periods in the following table: 99/98 98/97 INCREASE/ INCREASE/ (DECREASE) (DECREASE) 1999 1998 1997 % CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGE DATA) Sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme and Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme... $478,538 $411,060 $332,712 16% 24% % of total product revenue................ 84% 81% 78% Genzyme General's results of operations are highly dependent on sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme and a reduction in revenue from sales of this product would adversely affect its results of operations. Revenue from Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme would be impacted negatively if competitors developed alternative treatments for Gaucher disease and the alternative products gained commercial acceptance. Genzyme General is aware of companies that have initiated efforts to develop competitive products and other companies may do so in the future. Therapeutics revenue for each period also includes sales of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone, which is an adjunctive diagnostic tool for well differentiated thyroid cancer. DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS The decrease in diagnostic products revenue for 1999 as compared to 1998 reflects the sale of the research products business to Techne Corporation in July 1998 and immunochemistry product line to an operating unit of Sybron Laboratory Products Corp. in July 1999. Diagnostic products revenue includes royalties on product sales by Techne's biotechnology group. OTHER Other revenue for each period include sales of: - lipids and peptides for drug delivery; and - genetic testing services. GG-7 INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT AND SERVICE REVENUE A substantial portion of Genzyme General's revenue was generated outside of the United States, as described in the following table. Most of these revenues were attributable to sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme. 99/98 98/97 INCREASE/ INCREASE/ (DECREASE) (DECREASE) 1999 1998 1997 % CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGE DATA) International product and service revenue................................. $273,851 $248,365 $217,777 10% 14% % of total product and service revenue.... 44% 44% 45% MARGINS 99/98 98/97 INCREASE/ INCREASE/ (DECREASE) (DECREASE) 1999 1998 1997 % CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGE DATA) Product margin............................ $456,406 $370,925 $282,866 23% 31% % of product revenue.................. 80% 73% 66% Service margin............................ 21,586 21,205 20,384 2% 4% % of service revenue.................. 38% 38% 37% Total gross margin........................ 477,992 392,130 303,250 22% 29% % of total product and service revenue............................. 76% 69% 63% Genzyme General provides a broad range of healthcare products and services. As a result, Genzyme General's gross margin varies significantly based on the category of product or service. Sales of therapeutic products, including Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, result in higher margins than diagnostic products. During 1998, Genzyme General recorded a $14.8 million charge to cost of products sold to write down excess inventory used to make Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme. Without the effect of this charge, Genzyme General's product margin for 1998 would have been 76% and its total gross margin during that period would have been 72%. Excluding the charge described above, the increases in product margin and total gross margin during each period are a result of increased efficiency and process improvements in manufacturing as well as increased sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme. Our service margin also increased during each period as a result of increases in sales of DNA and cancer testing services. OPERATING EXPENSES 1999 AS COMPARED TO 1998 The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 1999 as compared to 1998 is related to: - increased staffing to support the growth in several of Genzyme General's product lines; - an increased reserve for doubtful accounts in Genzyme General's genetic testing business; - costs associated with the market introduction of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone in January 1999; and GG-8 - increased expenditures to support the increased sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme. The increase in research and development expense in 1999 as compared to 1998 is a result of: - increased costs in connection with the results of ATIII LLC, the joint venture with Genzyme Transgenics Corporation for the development and commercialization of transgenic recombinant human antithrombin III; and - increased spending on Genzyme General's program to develop Fabrazyme-TM- enzyme for the treatment of Fabry disease and other internal programs. In the fourth quarter of 1998, Genzyme General began amortizing a milestone payment that it made to GelTex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. upon FDA approval of RenaGel-Registered Trademark- capsules. As a result, amortization of intangibles increased slightly during 1999 as compared to 1998. In 1999, we acquired Peptimmune, Inc., a privately-held company whose lead development program focuses on a treatment for pemphigus vulgaris. We allocated $5.4 million to in-process technology representing Peptimmune's programs that were still in the development stage and for which there was no alternative future use. In 1999, we recorded a one-time charge to operations for the amount of the purchase price allocated to in-process technology. 1998 AS COMPARED TO 1997 The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in 1998 as compared to 1997 was related to: - increased sales and marketing costs related to the product launch of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone; and - increased expenditures to support the increased sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme. The increase in research and development expense in 1998 as compared to 1997 was primarily attributable to $12.0 million in costs resulting from the consolidation of the results of ATIII LLC, for which there were no comparable amounts in 1997. OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSES 99/98 98/97 INCREASE/ INCREASE/ (DECREASE) (DECREASE) 1999 1998 1997 % CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGE DATA) Equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates................................ $(37,423) $(19,739) $(5,782) 90% 241% Gain on affiliate sale of stock............. 6,683 2,369 -- 182% N/A Gain on sale of investments in equity securities................................ 1,963 3,391 -- (42)% N/A Minority interest........................... 3,674 4,285 -- (14)% N/A Gain on sale of product line................ 8,018 31,202 -- (74)% N/A Charge for impaired investments.............

Genzyme General also records a portion of the results of Genzyme Transgenics in equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates. Genzyme General's equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates increased in 1999 as compared to 1998 as a result of: - increased losses from RenaGel LLC, our joint venture with GelTex to develop and commercialize Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules; - increased losses from our joint venture with BioMarin to develop and commercialize Aldurazyme(TM) enzyme for the treatment of mucopolysaccharidosis-I, which was formed in September 1998; - increased losses from our joint venture with Pharming to develop a therapy for Pompe disease, which was formed in October 1998; and - the reallocation of our joint venture with Diacrin from Genzyme Tissue Repair to Genzyme General in May 1999. These increases were offset in part by decreased losses from Genzyme Transgenics for both periods. GAIN ON AFFILIATE SALE OF STOCK In 1999 and 1998, Genzyme General recorded gains on its investment in Genzyme Transgenics as a result of its issuance of additional shares of common stock. MINORITY INTEREST Genzyme General consolidates the results of ATIII LLC and records Genzyme Transgenics' portion of the losses of that joint venture as minority interest. Minority interest decreased in both periods, notwithstanding increases in ATIII LLC's losses, because Genzyme Transgenics' portion of those losses decreased. GAIN ON SALE OF INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY SECURITIES Genzyme General recorded gains of $2.0 million in January 1999 and $3.4 million in December 1998 upon the sales of shares of Techne common stock that it received when it sold its research products business to Techne. GAIN ON SALE OF PRODUCT LINE In July 1999, Genzyme General recorded a gain of $0.5 million in connection with the sale of its immunochemistry product lines to an operating unit of Sybron Laboratory Products. In June 1999, Genzyme General recorded a gain of $7.5 million representing the payment of a note receivable that it received as partial consideration for the sale of Genetic Design, Inc. in 1996. Genzyme General had previously fully reserved the amount of this note because it considered the repayment of the note to be uncertain. In July 1998, Genzyme General recorded a gain of $31.2 million in connection with the sale of its research products business to Techne. GG-10 CHARGE FOR IMPAIRED INVESTMENTS In 1999, Genzyme General recorded $5.7 million in charges to write down certain strategic investments in collaborators' common stock because it considered the decline in the value of these investments to be other than temporary. In 1998, Genzyme General recorded a $3.4 million charge to write down a strategic investment in a company because we considered the decline in the value of the company's common stock to be other than temporary. OTHER In December 1999, Genzyme General recorded a net gain of $14.4 million upon receipt of a payment associated with the termination of an agreement to acquire Cell Genesys, Inc. INVESTMENT INCOME Investment income increased in both periods because our cash balances were higher. The increase in cash balances was attributable to the issuance in May 1998 of $250.0 million in principal amount of 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes and increased cash generated from operations. INTEREST EXPENSE Genzyme General's interest expense increased in both periods, primarily as a result of the issuance of the 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes. TAX PROVISION AND ALLOCATED TAX BENEFITS 99/98 98/97 INCREASE/ INCREASE/ (DECREASE) (DECREASE) 1999 1998 1997 % CHANGE % CHANGE -------- -------- -------- ---------- ---------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PERCENTAGE DATA) Provision for income taxes................. $(84,400) $(80,374) $(43,725) 5% 84% Effective tax rate......................... 37% 38% 36% Tax benefits allocated from: Genzyme Molecular Oncology............. 7,812 3,527 2,755 121% 28% Genzyme Surgical Products.............. 16,128 17,936 10,112 (10)% 77% Genzyme Tissue Repair.................. 10,866 16,394 17,666 (34)% (7)% -------- -------- -------- Net allocated tax benefits........... 34,806 37,857 30,533 (8)% (24)% -------- -------- -------- Net tax provision.......................... $(49,594) $(42,517) $(13,192) 17% 222% ======== ======== ======== Genzyme General net tax rate............... 22% 20% 11% ======== ======== ======== Genzyme General's tax rates for all periods vary from the U.S. statutory tax rate as a result of its: - provision for state income taxes; - use of a foreign sales corporation; - nondeductible amortization of intangibles; - use of tax credits; and - share of losses of unconsolidated affiliates. GG-11 LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES At December 31, 1999, Genzyme General had cash, cash-equivalents, and short- and long-term investments of $513.9 million, a decrease of $42.2 million from December 31, 1998. Genzyme General generated $284.8 million in cash from its operations in 1999. Genzyme General's investing activities utilized $192.7 million in cash in 1999. Investing activities generated: - $5.0 million from the sale of Genzyme General's immunochemistry product line; - $11.1 million from the sale of Techne common stock; and - $8.4 million from the payment of a note issued in connection with the sale of Genetic Design. Investing activities used: - $93.4 million for Genzyme General's net purchases of investments; - $52.9 million to fund capital expenditures; - $36.4 million to fund Genzyme General's investments in joint ventures; - $6.5 million to fund its acquisition of Peptimmune; - $10.0 million to GelTex to make a milestone payment upon the first anniversary of FDA approval of Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules; - $6.6 million to Genzyme Transgenics for the purchase of preferred stock; - $10.0 million to Biomarin for the purchase of shares of common stock; and - $3.4 million to Genovo, Inc. for the purchase of shares of preferred stock. In 1999, Genzyme General received $59.2 million in cash from employee stock plans. Genzyme General's financing activities used the following cash during 1999: - $85.0 million to repay short-term debt and capital lease obligations; and - $49.4 million paid to Genzyme Surgical Products in connection with the creation of Genzyme Surgical Products as a separate division of Genzyme. - $30.0 million paid to Genzyme Tissue Repair for the transfer of the interest in Diacrin/Genzyme LLC and a draw under Genzyme Tissue Repair's equity line of credit. In 1998, our board of directors made $30.0 million of Genzyme General's cash available to Genzyme Molecular Oncology under an equity line of credit. Under the terms of this equity line, Genzyme Molecular Oncology may draw down funds as needed each quarter in exchange for GZMO designated shares. GZMO designated shares are shares of GZMO Stock that are not issued and outstanding, but which our board of directors may issue, sell or distribute without allocating the proceeds to Genzyme Molecular Oncology. Genzyme Molecular Oncology has not yet drawn any funds under this equity line. GG-12 In 1998, our board of directors also made $50.0 million of Genzyme General's cash available to Genzyme Tissue Repair under an equity line of credit. Under the terms of this equity line, Genzyme Tissue Repair may draw down funds as needed each quarter in exchange for GZTR designated shares. GZTR designated shares are shares of GZTR Stock that are not issued and outstanding, but which our board of directors may issue, sell or distribute without allocating the proceeds to Genzyme Tissue Repair. In February 1999, Genzyme Tissue Repair made a $5.0 million draw under this equity line in exchange for 1,633,399 GZTR designated shares. In May 1999, the amount available under this equity line was reduced by $25.0 million in connection with the reallocation of our ownership interest in Diacrin/Genzyme LLC from Genzyme Tissue Repair to Genzyme General. In June 1999, Genzyme General transferred $150.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments to Genzyme Surgical Products in connection with the creation of Genzyme Surgical Products as a separate division of Genzyme. In exchange for this transfer, approximately 14.8 million shares of GZSP Stock were issued and distributed as a dividend to holders of GENZ Stock. Genzyme General, together with our other operating divisions, has access to Genzyme's revolving credit facilities. At December 31, 1999, $50.0 million was available under a facility that matures in November 2000 and $77.0 million was available under a facility that matures in November 2002. We believe that Genzyme General's available cash, investments and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund its planned operations and capital requirements for the foreseeable future. Although Genzyme General currently has substantial cash resources and positive cash flow, it intends to use substantial portions of its available cash for: - product development and marketing; - expanding facilities; - working capital; and - strategic business initiatives. Genzyme General's cash reserves will be further reduced to pay principal and interest on the following debt: - $21.2 million in principal under our 5% convertible subordinated debentures due August 2003, which are convertible into GENZ Stock; and - $250.0 million in principal under our 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due June 2005, which are convertible into GENZ Stock. If Genzyme General uses cash to pay or redeem this debt, including the interest due on it, its cash reserves will be diminished. In addition, Genzyme General's cash resources will be reduced to the extent that the liabilities of Genzyme Molecular Oncology, Genzyme Surgical Products or Genzyme Tissue Repair affect our consolidated results of operations. To satisfy these and other commitments, Genzyme General may have to obtain additional financing. We cannot guarantee that Genzyme General will be able to obtain any additional financing, extend any existing financing arrangement, or obtain either on favorable terms. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS, EURO, YEAR 2000 AND MARKET RISK See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Genzyme Corporation and Subsidiaries' Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in this annual report. GG-13 FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE OPERATING RESULTS The future operating results of Genzyme General could differ materially from the results described above due to the risks and uncertainties described below and under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Genzyme Corporation and Subsidiaries' Financial Condition and Results of Operations--Factors Affecting Future Operating Results" included in this annual report. A REDUCTION IN REVENUES FROM SALES OF PRODUCTS THAT TREAT GAUCHER DISEASE WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE EFFECT ON GENZYME GENERAL'S BUSINESS. Genzyme General generates a majority of its product revenues from sales of Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme and Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, which are products for patients with Gaucher disease. Sales of Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme and Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme totaled $478.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1999, representing approximately 84% of Genzyme General's product revenues for that year. Because Genzyme General's business is highly dependent on Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, a reduction in revenue from sales of this product would have an adverse effect on its operations and may cause the value of GENZ Stock to decline substantially. Revenues from Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme would be impacted negatively if competitors develop alternative treatments for Gaucher disease and these alternative products gained commercial acceptance. Some companies have initiated efforts to develop competitive products, and other companies may do so in the future. Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme has orphan drug status, providing it with market exclusivity in the U.S. until May 2001. We also have patents protecting its manufacturing method until 2010 and its composition until 2013. We cannot predict the effect that the expiration of orphan drug status and market exclusivity will have on sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme after May 2001. GENZYME GENERAL MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMERCIALIZE THYROGEN-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- HORMONE AND RENAGEL-REGISTERED TRADEMARK- CAPSULES. In January 1999, Genzyme General, together with Knoll Pharmaceutical Company, launched U.S. sales of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- recombinant thyroid stimulating hormone for use in the treatment of thyroid cancer. At about the same time, Genzyme General, in collaboration with GelTex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., launched Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules, a non-absorbed phosphate binder used in the treatment of end-stage renal disease. The commercial success of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone and Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules will depend on a number of factors, including: - regulation by the FDA; - the ability to obtain regulatory approvals in foreign countries; - the development and commercial success of competitive products; and - the availability of third party reimbursement. Genzyme General cannot be sure that market penetration of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone and Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules will increase. IF THE STRATEGIC COLLABORATIONS GENZYME GENERAL HAS ENTERED INTO TO DEVELOP AND COMMERCIALIZE ITS PRODUCTS ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL, GENZYME GENERAL'S RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL BE ADVERSELY IMPACTED. Several of Genzyme General's strategic initiatives involve collaborations with other biotechnology companies and arrangements with academic medical centers. These include: - a joint venture with GelTex for the commercialization of Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules; GG-14 - an agreement with Knoll Pharmaceutical Company for the marketing of Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone in the U.S.; - an agreement with Biogen, Inc. for the marketing of AVONEX-Registered Trademark- (Interferon-beta 1a), Biogen's treatment for relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, in Japan following regulatory approval; - a joint venture with BioMarin for the development and commercialization of Aldurazyme(TM) enzyme for the treatment of the lysosomal storage known as mucopolysaccharidosis I; - a joint venture with Genzyme Transgenics for the development and commercialization of transgenic antithrombin III, a human protein that Genzyme Transgenics produces in the milk of genetically modified animals; - a joint venture with Pharming for the development and commercialization of human alpha-glucosidase for the treatment of Pompe disease; - an agreement with Genovo for the development of gene therapy products for the treatment of lysosomal storage disorders; - a relationship with Mount Sinai Medical Center for the development of a therapy for the treatment of Niemann-Pick disease; - a joint venture with Diacrin to develop and commercialize products and processes using porcine fetal cells for the treatment of Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease; and - an agreement with Dyax Corp. to develop and commercialize the protein EPI-KAL2 for the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Genzyme General plans to enter into additional collaborations in the future. The success of these arrangements are largely dependent on the efforts and skills of Genzyme General's collaborators. Genzyme General cannot guarantee that: - these agreements will not be terminated; - its strategic collaborators will devote significant resources to the collaborations; or - any of these collaborations will result in the successful development or commercialization of any products. OUR OPTION TO PURCHASE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS COULD DILUTE THE RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF GENZ STOCK. We organized Genzyme Development Partners, L.P., a special purpose research and development entity, in 1989 and transferred to it technology and commercial rights to our hyaluronic acid-based products designed to prevent the occurrence and severity of post-operative adhesions. These products, which we refer to as the Sepra products, are now allocated to Genzyme Surgical Products. We have an option to purchase the limited partnership interests in the partnership. If this option is exercised, we may have to issue shares of GENZ Stock or make substantial cash payments or both. If we make payments in GENZ Stock, the rights of holders of GENZ Stock could be diluted and the market price of that stock may fall. If we make cash payments, our cash resources would diminish. SUBSEQUENT EVENT In February 2000, we converted our shares of the Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of Genzyme Transgenics into 1,048,021 shares of Genzyme Transgenics common stock. Also in February 2000, Genzyme Transgenics completed a public offering of its common stock. Genzyme General will recognize a gain on affiliate sale of stock of approximately $20 million in the first quarter of 2000.

GG-19 GENZYME GENERAL NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BUSINESS Genzyme General is our operating division that develops and markets: - therapeutic products, with an expanding focus on products to treat patients suffering from lysosomal storage disorders and other specialty therapeutics; - diagnostic products, with a focus on IN VITRO diagnostics; and - other products and services, such as genetic testing and lipids and peptides for drug delivery. Genzyme General Division Common Stock, which we refer to as "GENZ Stock," is intended to reflect the value and track the performance of Genzyme General. BASIS OF PRESENTATION; PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION The combined financial statements of Genzyme General for each period include the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of the businesses we allocate to Genzyme General. We also allocate a portion of our corporate operations to Genzyme General using methods we believe are reasonable. These combined financial statements are prepared using amounts included in our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report. We have reclassified certain 1998 and 1997 data to conform with the 1999 presentation. In June 1999, we created Genzyme Surgical Products. Genzyme General transferred $150.0 million in cash, cash equivalents and investments, and certain other assets, to Genzyme Surgical Products in connection with the creation of Genzyme Surgical Products as a separate division of Genzyme. The business of Genzyme Surgical Products previously operated as a business unit of Genzyme General. These financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Genzyme General as if Genzyme Surgical Products had existed as a separate division of the corporation for all periods presented. We use the equity method to account for investments in entities in which Genzyme General has a substantial ownership interest (20% to 50%), or in which it participates in policy decisions. Genzyme General's consolidated net income includes its share of the earnings of these entities. We report at fair value investments in entities in which Genzyme General's ownership interest is less than 20%. FINANCIAL INFORMATION For purposes of financial presentation, we allocate certain of our programs, products, assets and liabilities to Genzyme General and prepare separate financial statements for Genzyme General. Notwithstanding the allocation of assets and liabilities to Genzyme General, Genzyme Corporation continues to hold title to all of the assets and is responsible for all of the liabilities allocated to Genzyme General. Holders of GENZ Stock are common stockholders of Genzyme Corporation and have no specific rights to the assets to which GENZ Stock relates. We prepare the financial statements of Genzyme General in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, our management and accounting policies and the divisional accounting policies approved by our board. We present financial information and accounting policies specific to Genzyme General in the accompanying combined financial statements. We present financial information and GG-20 GENZYME GENERAL NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) accounting policies relevant to the corporation and its operating divisions taken as a whole in our consolidated financial statements. You should read these consolidated financial statements. Note A., "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," to our consolidated financial statements contains our accounting policies. We incorporate that information into this note by reference. DIVIDEND POLICY We have never paid a cash dividend on shares of GENZ Stock. We currently intend to retain our earnings to finance future growth and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on GENZ Stock in the foreseeable future. TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES We translate the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries allocated to Genzyme General from local currency into U.S. dollars and include translation adjustments for these subsidiaries in division equity. Genzyme General's division equity includes cumulative foreign currency translation charges of $19.7 million at December 31, 1999 and $4.8 million at December 31, 1998. We include exchange gains and losses on intercompany balances which are long-term in nature in our division equity. Our gains and losses on all other transactions are included in our results of operations. Genzyme General recorded a net gain of $0.6 million in 1999, a net gain of $0.3 million in 1998 and a net loss of $0.1 million in 1997. REVENUE RECOGNITION Genzyme General recognizes revenue from product sales when it ships the product and title has passed, net of any applicable third party contractual allowances and rebates. Genzyme General recognizes revenue from service sales when it has finished providing the service or when it has achieved an applicable milestone. Genzyme General recognizes revenue from research and development contracts over the term of the applicable contract and as it incurs costs related to that contract. Up front license fees, milestone fees and royalty revenue are recognized as revenue only if there are no remaining performance obligations and the fees are non-refundable. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE To calculate basic earnings per share for Genzyme General, we divide the earnings attributable to Genzyme General by the weighted average number of outstanding shares of GENZ Stock during the applicable period. When we calculate diluted earnings per share, we also include in the denominator all potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the applicable period. To determine what earnings are attributable to Genzyme General, we take its net income or loss for the applicable period (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles) and adjust it for the tax benefits allocated to Genzyme General in accordance with our management and accounting policies. GG-21 GENZYME GENERAL NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE A.

NOTE B. POLICIES GOVERNING THE RELATIONSHIP OF GENZYME'S OPERATING DIVISIONS Because each of our operating divisions is a part of a single company, our board of directors has adopted policies to address issues that may arise among divisions and to govern the management of and the relationships between each division. With some exceptions that are mentioned specifically in this note, our board may modify or rescind these policies, or adopt additional policies, in its sole discretion without stockholder approval, subject only to our board's fiduciary duty to stockholders. Generally accepted accounting principles require that any change in policy be preferable (in accordance with these principles) to the previous policy. INTERDIVISION ASSET TRANSFERS Our board may at any time reallocate any program, product or other asset from one division to any other division. We make reallocations at fair market value, as determined by our board. In determining the fair market value of a program under development, our board takes into account the following criteria: - the commercial potential of the program; - the phase of clinical development of the program; - the expenses associated with realizing any income from the program and the likelihood and time of the realization; and - other matters that our board and its financial advisors, if any, deem relevant. One division may pay another division the consideration for a reallocation in cash or other consideration with a value equal to the fair market value of the reallocated assets. In the case of a reallocation of assets from Genzyme General to another division, our board may elect instead to account for the reallocation as an increase in the designated shares representing the division to which the assets are reallocated in accordance with the provisions of our charter. Our policy regarding transfers of assets between divisions may not be changed by our board without the approval of the holders of GENZ Stock voting as a separate class unless the policy change does not affect Genzyme General. GG-23 GENZYME GENERAL NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE B. POLICIES GOVERNING THE RELATIONSHIP OF GENZYME'S OPERATING DIVISIONS (CONTINUED) OTHER INTERDIVISION TRANSACTIONS Our divisions may engage in transactions directly with one or more other divisions or jointly with one or more other divisions and one or more third parties. These transactions may include agreements by one division to provide products and services for use by another division, license agreements and joint ventures or other collaborative arrangements involving more than one division to develop new products and services jointly and with third parties. These transactions are subject to the following conditions: - We charge research and development (including clinical and regulatory support), distribution, sales, marketing, and general and administrative services (including allocated space) performed by one division for another division to the division for which the services are performed on a cost basis. We charge direct costs to the division for which we incur them. We allocate direct labor and indirect costs in reasonable and consistent manners based on the use by a division of relevant services. Divisions performing services for other divisions do not recognize revenue for the services they perform. - We charge the manufacturing of goods and performance of services by one division exclusively for another division to the division for which it is performed on a cost basis. We include in manufacturing costs an interest charge (based on our short-term borrowing rate at the beginning of the fiscal year) on the gross fixed assets used in the manufacturing process. We determine gross fixed assets for the facility used at the beginning of each fiscal year. We allocate direct labor and indirect costs in reasonable and consistent manners based on the benefit received by a division of related goods and services. Divisions performing services for other divisions do not recognize revenue for the services they perform. - Other than transactions involving research and development, manufacturing, distribution, sales, marketing, general and administrative services, which are addressed above, all interdivisional transactions are performed on terms and conditions obtainable in arm's length transactions with third parties. Divisions performing services for other divisions do not recognize revenue for the services they perform. - Our board must approve interdivisional transactions that are performed on terms and conditions other than as described above and are material to one or more of the participating divisions. In giving its approval, our board must determine that the transaction is fair and reasonable to each participating division and to holders of the common stock representing each participating division. - Divisions may make loans to other divisions. Any loan of $1 million or less matures within 18 months and accrues interest at the best borrowing rate available to the corporation for a loan of like type and duration. Our board must approve any loan in excess of $1 million. In giving its approval, our board must determine that the material terms of the loan, including the interest rate and maturity date, are fair and reasonable to each participating division and to holders of the common stock representing each such division. - All material interdivisional transactions are set forth in a written agreement that is signed by an authorized member of the management team of each division involved in the transaction. GG-24 GENZYME GENERAL NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE B. POLICIES GOVERNING THE RELATIONSHIP OF GENZYME'S OPERATING DIVISIONS (CONTINUED) TAX ALLOCATIONS We file a consolidated return and allocate income taxes to each division based upon the financial statement income, taxable income, credits and other amounts properly allocable to each division under generally accepted accounting principles as if it were a separate taxpayer. We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets at the division level. As a result, our consolidated tax provision may not equal the sum of the divisions' tax provision. As of the end of any fiscal quarter, however, if a division cannot use any projected annual tax benefit attributable to it to offset or reduce its current or deferred income tax expense, we may allocate the tax benefit to the other divisions in proportion to their taxable income without any compensating payment or allocation. ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY AND KNOW-HOW Genzyme General has unrestricted access to all technology and know-how owned or controlled by Genzyme Corporation that may be useful in its business, subject to any obligations or limitations that apply to the corporation generally. NOTE C. OTHER GAINS AND CHARGES In December 1999, Genzyme General recorded a net gain of $14.4 million upon receipt of a payment associated with the termination of an agreement to acquire Cell Genesys, Inc. Genzyme General recorded this gain as other income. During the third quarter of 1998, Genzyme General recorded a $14.8 million charge to cost of products sold to write down excess inventory used to make Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme. Genzyme General took this charge following a determination that, based on the status of efforts to convert Gaucher disease patients to a treatment regimen using Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, the existing supply of Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme was sufficient to meet estimated patient needs. Genzyme General also recorded $20.1 million in other charges in the fourth quarter of 1997. The components of these charges are: - a $18.1 million charge to cost of products sold to write down excess inventory in Genzyme General's melatonin, bulk pharmaceuticals and fine chemical product lines. Genzyme General took this charge after it discontinued these product lines; and - a $2.0 million charge to other expense relating to uncertainty in collecting a note receivable that was issued upon the sale of Genetic Design, Inc. NOTE D. DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS In July 1998, we sold the assets of our research products business to Techne Corporation in exchange for: - $24.8 million in cash; - approximately 987,000 shares of Techne common stock; and - royalties on product sales by Techne's biotechnology group through June 2003. GG-25 GENZYME GENERAL NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) NOTE D. DISPOSITIONS OF ASSETS (CONTINUED) We will record royalty income as it is earned. In 1998, we recorded a $31.2 million gain in connection with the sale of this business and an additional $3.4 million gain upon the sale of a portion of our investment in Techne common stock. In 1999, we recorded a gain of $2.0 million upon the sale of our remaining shares of Techne common stock. The $3.4 million and $2.0 million gains were recorded as gains on sale of investments in equity securities. The research products business had been allocated to Genzyme General. Note C., "Dispositions of Assets," to our consolidated financial statements contains information regarding: - the sale of Genzyme General's immunochemistry product lines to an operating unit of Sybron Laboratory Products Corp.; and - the sale of Genetic Design to Laboratory Corporation of America. We incorporate that information into this note by reference. NOTE E. PEPTIMMUNE ACQUISITION In July 1999, we acquired Peptimmune, Inc., a privately-held company whose lead development program focuses on a treatment for pemphigus vulgaris. We allocated this acquisition to Genzyme General and accounted for it as a purchase. We allocated the aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million and assumed liabilities of $0.3 million to the tangible and intangible assets we acquired from Peptimmune based on their respective fair values (amounts in thousands): Property, plant & equipment................................. $ 128 Deferred tax asset.......................................... 1,229 In-process technology....................................... 5,436 ------ Total................................................... $6,793 ====== The $5.4 million allocated to in-process technology represents the value we assigned to Peptimmune's programs that were still in the development stage and for which there was no alternative future use. Genzyme General recorded this amount as a charge to operations. NOTE F. OFF-BALANCE SHEET FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Note E., "Off-Balance Sheet Financial Instruments," to our consolidated financial statements contains information regarding interest rate swap contracts that are allocated to Genzyme General. We incorporate that information into this note by reference. NOTE G.

As of December 31, 1999, there were 1,688,237 GZMO designated shares, 1,164,839 GZSP designated shares and 2,238,053 GZTR designated shares. The number of GZMO designated shares assumes that Genzyme Molecular Oncology does not complete a public offering of GZMO Stock prior to June 18, 2000. If such an offering is completed prior to that date, the number of GZMO designated shares reserved for issuance in connection with a draw under an equity line of credit in 1998 will decrease based on a formula set forth in our charter. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS We apply APB Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our five stock-based compensation plans: the 1990 Equity Incentive Plan, the 1997 Equity Plan (both of which are stock option plans), the 1990 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the 1999 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and the 1998 Director Stock Option Plan. Genzyme General does not recognize compensation expense for options granted and shares purchased under the provisions of these plans for options granted to employees with an exercise price greater than or equal to fair market value. GG-32 NOTE M. DIVISION EQUITY (CONTINUED) The following table sets forth net income and income per share data for Genzyme General calculated in accordance with SFAS 123 as if compensation expense for our stock-based compensation plans was determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for options granted and shares purchased under the plans: 1999 1998 1997 --------- --------- --------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS) Net income: As reported............................... $176,883 $170,909 $107,175 Pro forma................................. $159,223 $157,334 $ 95,168 Basic income per share: As reported............................... $ 2.13 $ 2.16 $ 1.40 Pro forma................................. $ 1.92 $ 1.99 $ 1.24 Diluted income per share: As reported............................... $ 2.00 $ 2.06 $ 1.36 Pro forma................................. $ 1.81 $ 1.83 $ 1.21 Note L., "Stockholders' Equity," to our consolidated financial statements contains information regarding the assumptions we made in calculating net income and income per share data in accordance with SFAS 123. The effects of applying SFAS 123 are not likely to be representative of the effects on reported net income in future years. SFAS 123 does not apply to awards granted prior to 1995, and additional awards are anticipated in future years. PREFERRED STOCK, STOCK RIGHTS, EQUITY PLANS, WARRANTS, DESIGNATED SHARES AND EQUITY LINES Note L., "Stockholders' Equity," to our consolidated financial statements contains information regarding: - our authorized preferred stock; - our shareholder rights plan; - our directors' deferred compensation plan; - our other equity plans; - warrants exercisable into GENZ Stock; - designated shares and our policies for distributing them; and - equity lines of credit made available by Genzyme General to Genzyme Molecular Oncology and Genzyme Tissue Repair.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES We periodically become subject to legal proceedings and claims arising in connection with our business. We do not believe that there were any asserted claims against us as of December 31, 1999 which, if adversely decided, would have a material adverse effect on Genzyme General's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

(878) -- Allocation of tax liability from Genzyme Surgical Products.......................................... (4,069) (2,788) -------- -------- Net deferred tax asset.............................. $ 61,039 $ 67,863 ======== ======== As a result of uncertainty surrounding our ability to realize certain tax benefits that primarily relate to capital losses from the purchase of in-process research and development, we placed valuation GG-35 NOTE P. INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED) allowances of $17.6 million in 1999 and $15.4 million in 1998 against otherwise recognizable deferred tax assets. Our ability to realize the benefit of net deferred tax assets is dependent on our generating sufficient taxable income before loss carryforwards expire. While it is not assured, we believe that it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize all of our net deferred tax assets. The amount we can realize, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during the carryforward period are reduced. At December 31, 1999, Genzyme General had for U.S. income tax purposes a net operating loss carryforwards of $9.0 million and a tax credit carryforward of $9.4 million. The net operating loss carryforwards expire between 2003 and 2019 and, prior to expiration, Genzyme General's ability to use this carryforward may be limited under U.S. tax laws. Tax credits of $4.9 million will carryforward indefinitely and approximately $4.5 million of the tax credit carryforwards will expire from 2014 to 2019. Approximately $9.4 million of the tax credit carryforwards relate to exercises of non-qualified stock options and disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock options, the tax benefit of which, if realized, will be credited to additional paid-in-capital. NOTE Q. BENEFIT PLANS Note P., "Benefit Plans," to our consolidated financial statements contains information regarding our 401(k) and other pension plans. We incorporate that information into this note by reference. NOTE R. SEGMENT INFORMATION In accordance with SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." We present segment information in a manner consistent with the method we use to report this information to our management.

SEGMENT INFORMATION (CONTINUED) The following table contains certain financial information by geographic area: 1999 1998 1997 --------- -------- -------- (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS) Revenues: U.S........................................ $ 412,611 $371,587 $363,455 Netherlands................................ 35,499 31,413 39,936 Other...................................... 187,256 166,319 92,977 --------- -------- -------- Total.................................... $ 635,366 $569,319 $496,368 ========= ======== ======== Long-lived assets: U.S........................................ $ 647,024 $755,023 $506,085 Netherlands................................ 1,094 730 652 Other...................................... 51,447 56,517 53,546 --------- -------- -------- Total.................................... $ 699,565 $812,270 $560,283 ========= ======== ======== Genzyme General's results of operations are highly dependent on sales of Ceredase-Registered Trademark- and Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzymes. Sales of these products represented 84% of Genzyme General's product revenue in 1999, 81% of product revenue in 1998, and 78% of product revenue in 1997. Genzyme General sells these products directly to physicians, hospitals and treatment centers as well as through unaffiliated distributors. Sales to one distributor represented 20% of Ceredase-Registered Trademark- and Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme revenues in 1999, 19% of these revenues in 1998, and 18% of these revenues in 1997. We believe that our credit risk associated with trade receivables is mitigated as a result of the fact that these products are sold to a large number of customers in a number of different industries and over a broad geographic area.
