             NOTES TO UNAUDITED, CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    Our unaudited, consolidated financial statements for each period include the
balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of each of our divisions
and corporate operations taken as a whole. We eliminate all significant
intracompany items and transactions in consolidation. We prepared our unaudited,
consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the SEC for
interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other
financial information that are normally required by generally accepted
accounting principles can be condensed or omitted. We have reclassified certain
2000 data to conform with our 2001 presentation.

    These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that
we consider necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and
operating results. Since these are interim financial statements, you should also
read the financial statements and notes included in our 2000 Form 10-K.
Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can vary from quarter to quarter.
Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not
be the same as those for future periods.

3. ACQUISITION OF THE CLASS A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS OF GENZYME
DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS, L.P.

    In January 2001, we purchased all of the outstanding Class A limited
partnership interests of Genzyme Development Partners, L.P., which we refer to
as GDP, for an advance payment of approximately $25.7 million in cash plus
royalties payable over ten years on sales of certain Sepra-TM- products. We
allocate our interest in GDP to Genzyme Biosurgery. As a result of the
acquisition, significant control over the activities of GDP passed to Genzyme
Biosurgery. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and the purchase
price was allocated to the fair value of the intangible assets acquired as
follows (in thousands):

    - use of a foreign sales corporation;

    - nondeductible amortization of intangibles; and

    - use of tax credits.

5. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for deriviative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that we
recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our
consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative instrument is designated
as part of a hedge relationship and, if it is, the type of hedge relationship.

    In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, we recorded a
cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.2 million, net of tax, in our unaudited,
consolidated statement of operations to recognize the fair value of certain
common stock warrants held on January 1, 2001. Transition adjustments pertaining
to interest rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges and our foreign currency
forward contracts were not significant. For the three months ended March 31,
2001, we recorded a charge of $3.6 million in other expense to reflect the
change in value of certain common stock warrants from January 1, 2001 to
March 31, 2001. We also recorded a charge of $0.5 million in other comprehensive
income to reflect the change in value of our interest rate swaps during the
period, net of tax.

    In the normal course of business, we manage risks associated with foreign
exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices through a variety of
strategies, including the use of hedging transactions, executed in accordance
with our policies. Our hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, the
use of various derivative financial instruments. As a matter of policy, we do
not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure. Any
change in the value of our derivative instruments would be substantially offset
by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. We do not use
derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

6. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE

    We calculate earnings per share for each series of stock using the two-class
method. To calculate basic earnings per share for each series of stock, we
divide the earnings allocated to each series of stock by the weighted average
number of outstanding shares of that series of 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. We allocate our earnings to each series of our common stock
based on the earnings attributable to that series of stock. The earnings
attributable to Genzyme General Stock, as defined in our charter, is equal to
the net income or loss of Genzyme General determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and as adjusted for tax benefits
allocated to or from Genzyme General in accordance with our management and
accounting policies. Earnings attributable to Biosurgery Stock and Molecular
Oncology Stock are defined similarly and, as such, are based on the net income
or loss of the corresponding division as adjusted for the allocation of tax
benefits.

    We calculate the income tax provision of each division as if that division
were a separate taxpayer, which process includes assessing realizability of
deferred tax assets at the division level. Our management and accounting
policies provide that, if as of the end of any fiscal quarter, a division can
not 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
other divisions in proportion to their taxable income without compensating
payment or allocation to the division generating the benefit. The tax benefits
allocated to Genzyme General, which are included in earnings attributable to
Genzyme General Stock, were:

    In the three months ended March 31, 2001, we allocated $4.6 million of tax
benefits to Genzyme Biosurgery that resulted from operations we acquired through
our acquisition of Biomatrix in December 2000, for which there are no similar
amounts in the same period of last year. In future periods, Genzyme Biosurgery
or Genzyme Molecular Oncology may recognize deferred tax assets in the
calculation of their respective tax provisions determined on a separate division
basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, to
the extent the benefit of those deferred tax assets has been previously
allocated to Genzyme General in accordance with the management and accounting
policies, the benefit will be reflected as a reduction of net income to
determine net income attributable to Biosurgery Stock or Molecular Oncology
Stock. As of March 31, 2001, the total tax benefits previously allocated to
Genzyme General were (in thousands):

    We created Biosurgery Stock on December 18, 2000. We created Genzyme
Biosurgery by combining the businesses of our former Genzyme Surgical Products
and Genzyme Tissue Repair divisions as well as the acquired business of
Biomatrix. Accordingly, we amended our charter to create Biosurgery Stock and to
eliminate Genzyme Surgical Products Division common stock, which we refer to as
"Surgical Products Stock," and Genzyme Tissue Repair Division common stock,
which we refer to as "Tissue Repair Stock." Each outstanding share of, and
option to purchase, Surgical Products Stock was converted into the right to
receive 0.6060 of a share of, or option to purchase, Biosurgery Stock, and each
outstanding share of, and option to purchase, Tissue Repair Stock was converted
into the right to receive 0.3352 of a share of, or option to purchase,
Biosurgery Stock.

    Prior to December 18, 2000, the net losses of Genzyme Surgical Products and
Genzyme Tissue Repair, which were combined to form Genzyme Biosurgery, were
allocated to Surgical Products Stock and Tissue Repair Stock.

    Basic and diluted net loss per share of Biosurgery Stock are the same. We
did not include the securities described in the following table in the

(1) In December 2000, we acquired GelTex, a company that develops therapeutic
    products based on polymer technology. We allocated the acquisition to
    Genzyme General. The operations of GelTex are included in our Therapeutics
    segment for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

(2) Includes primarily amounts related to Genzyme General's research and
    development and administrative activities that we do not specifically
    allocate to a particular segment of Genzyme General.

(3) In December 2000, we acquired Biomatrix, a company that develops,
    manufactures and sells a series of proprietary viscoelastic products based
    on hyaluronan technology that are used in therapeutic medical applications
    and skin care. We allocated the acquisition to Genzyme Biosurgery. The
    operations of Biomatrix are included in the results of Genzyme Biosurgery
    for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

(4) Includes primarily amounts related to Genzyme General's research and
    development and administrative activities that we do not specifically
    allocate to a particular segment of Genzyme General. The three months ended
    March 31, 2000 also includes a gain of $20.3 million relating to a public
    offering of common shares by Genzyme Transgenics Corporation, an
    unconsolidated affiliate, which we recognized in accordance with our policy
    pertaining to affiliate sales of stock.

(5) On January 1, 2001, in connection with the adoption of SFAS 133, Genzyme
    General recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.2 million, net of tax,
    to recognize the fair value of certain common stock warrants held on
    January 1, 2001. Eliminations/adjustments for Genzyme General includes a
    charge of $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to reflect
    the change in value of these common stock warrants from January 1, 2001 to
    March 31, 2001.

(6) Includes income tax benefits that have not been recognized in the tax
    provisions of the divisions. The three months ended March 31, 2000, also
    includes a difference in amortization due to $2.9 million of additional
    goodwill associated with our PharmaGenics, Inc. acquisition allocated to
    Genzyme Molecular Oncology as compared to amounts recorded at the corporate
    level. The difference in the amortization results from the application of
    our policy to account for income taxes at the divisional level as if each
    division were a separate taxpayer. The goodwill resulting from the
    acquisition of PharmaGenics was fully amortized in May 2000.

    There has been no material change in segment assets since December 31, 2000.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    PROPOSED TWO-FOR-ONE SPLIT OF GENZYME GENERAL STOCK

    In April 2001, our board of directors approved a two-for-one stock split of
Genzyme General Stock. This stock split is contingent upon shareholder approval
of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Genzyme General Stock. At
our annual meeting of stockholders on May 31, 2001, shareholders will be asked
to approve an amendment to our charter increasing the total number of authorized
shares of Genzyme common stock from 390,000,000 to 690,000,000 shares and
increasing the number of such shares designated as Genzyme General Stock from
200,000,000 to 500,000,000 shares. Assuming the amendment is approved, we will
issue on June 1, 2001, one new share of Genzyme General Stock for each share of
Genzyme General Stock held by shareholders of record as of May 24, 2001.
Securities convertible into shares of Genzyme General Stock will also adjust to
reflect this stock split.

    PLANNED ACQUISITION OF FOCAL, INC.

    In April 2001, we signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire
Focal, Inc. We will allocate this acquisition to Genzyme Biosurgery and will
account for it using the purchase method of accounting. Focal develops,
manufactures and sells products based on a proprietary polymer technology. We
currently hold approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of Focal's common
stock and will acquire the remaining 78% in an exchange of shares of Biosurgery
Stock for shares of Focal common stock upon completion of the merger. Under the
terms of the merger agreement, Focal shareholders will receive 0.1545 of a share
of Biosurgery Stock for each share of Focal common stock they hold, except for
10,000 shares of Focal common stock that we have agreed to purchase for cash
from a Focal shareholder. Approximately 2.1 million shares of Biosurgery Stock
will be issued as merger consideration. We expect the acquisition, which is
subject to the approval of Focal's shareholders, to

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS (CONTINUED)
close in the second or third quarter of 2001. In light of the merger, Focal
agreed to modify certain terms of the existing stock purchase agreement between
the companies. This agreement commits us, at Focal's option, to make future
equity investments of up to $5.0 million subject to certain conditions.

    PLANNED ACQUISITION OF WYNTEK DIAGNOSTICS, INC.

    In May 2001, we announced an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding
capital stock of privately-held Wyntek Diagnostics, Inc. for $65.0 million in
cash. Wyntek is a provider of high quality point of care rapid diagnostic tests
for pregnancy and infectious diseases. We will allocate the acquisition to
Genzyme General and will account for the acquisition using the purchase method
of accounting. We anticipate the acquisition, which is subject to our receipt of
regulatory approvals, to close in the second quarter of 2001.

    PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF $575.0 MILLION 3% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

    In May 2001, we completed a private placement of $575.0 million of 3%
convertible subordinated debentures. We have allocated the debentures and the
offering proceeds to Genzyme General. Net proceeds from the offering were
approximately $561.7 million. The debentures are convertible, upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, into shares of Genzyme General Stock at an
initial conversion price of $140.60. The debentures mature on May 15, 2021 and
are first callable on May 20, 2004. Holders may require us to repurchase all or
part of their debentures for cash on May 15, 2006, May 15, 2011 or May 15, 2016
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued
interest. We expect to utilize the proceeds from the sale of the debentures for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

    INTENDED REDEMPTION OF $250.0 MILLION 5 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

    On May 1, 2001, we sent a notice to the trustee under the indenture for our
$250.0 million 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2005, indicating our
intention to redeem any notes that remain unconverted at June 15, 2001. Each
$1,000 principal amount of these notes currently is convertible into
approximately 25.25 shares of Genzyme General Stock, 2.74 shares of Biosurgery
Stock and 2.73 shares of Molecular Oncology Stock.

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED, COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The unaudited, 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 described in our
allocation policy included in Exhibit 99.1 to our 2000 Form 10-K. These
unaudited, combined financial statements are prepared using amounts included in
our unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We
prepared the unaudited, combined financial statements for Genzyme General
following the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under
those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally
required by generally accepted accounting principles can be condensed or
omitted. We have reclassified certain 2000 data to conform with our 2001
presentation.

    These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that
we consider necessary for the fair presentation of Genzyme General's financial
position and operating results. Since these are interim financial statements,
you should also read the financial statements and notes for Genzyme General
included in our 2000 Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities can
vary from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim
financial statements may not be the same as those for future periods.

    Genzyme General's tax rates for both 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;

4. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

    On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that we
recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our
consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
Subsequent changes in fair value are reflected in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative instrument is designated
as part of a hedge relationship and, if it is, the type of hedge relationship.

    In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, Genzyme General
recorded a cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.2 million, net of tax, in its
unaudited, combined statement of operations to recognize the fair value of
certain common stock warrants held on January 1, 2001. Transition adjustments
pertaining to interest rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges and foreign
currency forward contracts allocated to Genzyme General were not significant.
For three months ended March 31, 2001, Genzyme General recorded a charge of
$3.6 million in other expense to reflect the change in value of certain common
stock warrants from January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001. Genzyme General also
recorded a charge of $0.5 million in division equity, to reflect the change in
value of our interest rate swaps during the period, net of tax.

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

    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. Applying
SFAS 131, Genzyme General has two reportable segments:

    - Therapeutics, which develops, manufactures and sells human therapeutic
      products for significant unmet medical needs. The business derives
      substantially all of its revenue from sales of
      Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme and Renagel-Registered Trademark-
      phosphate binder; and

    - Diagnostic Products, which provides diagnostic products to niche markets
      focusing on IN VITRO diagnostics.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    PLANNED ACQUISITION OF WYNTEK DIAGNOSTICS, INC.

    In May 2001, we announced an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding
capital stock of privately-held Wyntek Diagnostics, Inc. for $65.0 million in
cash. Wyntek is a provider of high quality point of care rapid diagnostic tests
for pregnancy and infectious diseases. We will allocate the acquisition to
Genzyme General and will account for the acquisition using the purchase method
of accounting. We anticipate the acquisition, which is subject to our receipt of
regulatory approvals, to close in the second quarter of 2001.

    PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF $575.0 MILLION 3% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

    In May 2001, we completed a private placement of $575.0 million of 3%
convertible subordinated debentures. We have allocated the debentures and the
offering proceeds to Genzyme General. Net proceeds from the offering were
approximately $561.7 million. The debentures are convertible, upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, into shares of Genzyme General Stock at an
initial conversion price of $140.60. The debentures mature on May 15, 2021 and
are first callable on May 20, 2004. Holders may require us to repurchase all or
part of their debentures for cash on May 15, 2006, May 15, 2011 or May 15, 2016
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued
interest. We expect to utilize the proceeds from the sale of the debentures for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

    INTENDED REDEMPTION OF $250.0 MILLION 5 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

    On May 1, 2001, we sent a notice to the trustee under the indenture for our
$250.0 million 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2005, indicating our
intention to redeem any notes that remain unconverted at June 15, 2001. Each
$1,000 principal amount of these notes currently is convertible into
approximately 25.25 shares of Genzyme General Stock, 2.74 shares of Biosurgery
Stock and 2.73 shares of Molecular Oncology Stock.

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED, COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The unaudited, combined financial statements of Genzyme Biosurgery for each
period include the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows of the
businesses we allocate to Genzyme Biosurgery. We also allocate a portion of our
corporate operations to Genzyme Biosurgery using methods described in our
allocation policy included in Exhibit 99.1 to our 2000 Form 10-K. These
unaudited, combined financial statements are prepared using amounts included in
our unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. We
prepared these unaudited, combined financial statements for Genzyme Biosurgery
following the requirements of the SEC for interim reporting. As permitted under
these rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally
required by generally accepted accounting principles can be condensed or
omitted. We have reclassified certain 2000 data to conform to our 2001
presentation.

    These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that
we consider necessary for the fair presentation of Genzyme Biosurgery's
financial position and operating results. Since these are interim financial
statements, you should also read the financial statements and notes for Genzyme
Biosurgery included in our 2000 Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets and
liabilities can vary from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the results and trends
in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results for
future periods.

    In December 2000, we acquired Biomatrix, Inc. We accounted for the
acquisition as a purchase. Immediately prior to the acquisition, we combined two
of our operating divisions, Genzyme Surgical Products and Genzyme Tissue Repair,
to form a new division called Genzyme Biosurgery. We allocated the acquired
assets and liabilities of Biomatrix to Genzyme Biosurgery. The combination of
Genzyme Surgical Products and Genzyme Tissue Repair to form Genzyme Biosurgery
did not result in any adjustments to the book values of the net assets of the
divisions because they remained divisions of the same corporation. We present
the financial statements of Genzyme Biosurgery as though the divisions had been
combined for all periods presented, and include the operations of Biomatrix from
the date of acquisition.

(1) In December 2000, we acquired Biomatrix, a company that develops,
    manufactures, markets and sells a series of proprietary viscoelastic
    products based on hyaluronan technology that are used in therapeutic medical
    applications and skin care. We allocated the acquisition to Genzyme
    Biosurgery. The operations of Biomatrix are included in the results of
    Genzyme Biosurgery for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

(2) The Other category includes revenue from Genzyme Biosurgery's research and
    development contracts which we do not allocate to a particular segment of
    Genzyme Biosurgery.

We do not allocate assets within Genzyme Biosurgery for purposes of segment
information. There has been no material change in segment assets since
December 31, 2000.

6. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

    PLANNED ACQUISITION OF FOCAL, INC.

    In April 2001, we signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Focal. We
will allocate the acquisition to Genzyme Biosurgery and account for the
acquisition using the purchase method of accounting. Focal develops,
manufactures and sells products based on a proprietary polymer technology. We
currently hold approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of Focal's common
stock and will acquire the remaining 78% in an exchange of shares of Biosurgery
Stock for shares of Focal common stock upon completion of the merger. Under the
terms of the merger agreement, Focal shareholders will receive 0.1545 of a share
of Biosurgery Stock for each share of Focal common stock they hold, except for
10,000 shares of Focal common stock that we have agreed to purchase for cash
from a Focal shareholder. Approximately 2.1 million shares of Biosurgery Stock
will be used as merger consideration. We expect the acquisition, which is
subject to the approval of Focal's shareholders, to close in the second or third
quarter of 2001. In light of the merger, Focal agreed to modify certain terms of
the existing stock purchase agreement between the companies. This agreement
commits us, at Focal's option, to make future equity investments of up to
$5.0 million subject to certain conditions.

               NOTES TO UNAUDITED, COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The unaudited, combined financial statements of Genzyme Molecular Oncology
for each period include the balance sheets, results of operations and cash flows
of the businesses we allocate to Genzyme Molecular Oncology. We also allocate a
portion of our corporate operations to Genzyme Molecular Oncology using methods
described in our allocation policy included in Exhibit 99.1 to our 2000
Form 10-K. These unaudited, combined financial statements are prepared using
amounts included in our unaudited, consolidated financial statements included in
this Form 10-Q. We prepared these unaudited, combined financial statements for
Genzyme Molecular Oncology following the requirements of the SEC for interim
reporting. As permitted under these rules, certain footnotes or other financial
information that are normally required by generally accepted accounting
principles can be condensed or omitted. We have reclassified certain 2000 data
to conform to the 2001 presentation.

    These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that
we consider necessary for the fair presentation of Genzyme Molecular Oncology's
financial position and operating results. Since these are interim financial
statements, you should also read the financial statements and notes for Genzyme
Molecular Oncology included in our 2000 Form 10-K. Revenues, expenses, assets
and liabilities can vary from quarter to quarter. Therefore, the results and
trends in these interim financial statements may not be indicative of results
for future periods.

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

    This discussion contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements represent the expectations of our management as of the filing date of
this report. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated by
the forward-looking statements due to the risks and uncertainties described in
Exhibit 99.2 to our 2000 Form 10-K. You should consider carefully each of these
risks and uncertainties in evaluating our financial condition and results of
operations.

    We are a biotechnology company that develops innovative products and
services for significant unmet medical needs. We have three operating divisions:

    - Genzyme General, which 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 services and lipid
       and peptide products for drug delivery.

    - Genzyme Biosurgery, which develops, manufactures and sells instruments,
      devices, biomaterials and biotherapeutic products to improve or replace
      surgery, with an emphasis on the orthopaedics and cardiothoracic markets;
      and

    - Genzyme Molecular Oncology, which is utilizing its functional genomics and
      antigen discovery technology platforms to develop novel cancer products
      focused on cancer vaccines and angiogenesis inhibitors and to generate
      partnering revenue developing cancer products, with a focus on therapeutic
      vaccines and angiogenesis inhibitors.

    We currently have three designated series of common stock--Genzyme General
Division common stock, which we refer to as "Genzyme General Stock," Genzyme
Biosurgery Division common stock, which we refer to as "Biosurgery Stock" and
Genzyme Molecular Oncology Division common stock, which we refer to as
"Molecular Oncology Stock." We also refer to our series of stock as "tracking
stock." Unlike typical common stock, each of our tracking stocks is designed to
track the financial performance of a specific subset of our business operations
and its allocated assets, rather than the operations and assets of our entire
company. The chief mechanisms intended to cause each tracking stock to "track"
the financial performance of each division are provisions in our charter
governing the dividends and distributions. Under these provisions, our charter:

    - factors the assets and liabilities and income or losses attributable to a
      division into the determination of the amount available to pay dividends
      on the associated tracking stock; and

    - requires us to exchange, redeem or distribute a dividend to the holders of
      Biosurgery Stock or Molecular Oncology Stock if all or substantially all
      of the assets allocated to those corresponding divisions are sold to a
      third party (a dividend or redemption payment must equal in value the net
      after-tax proceeds from the sale; an exchange must be for Genzyme General
      Stock at a 10% premium to the average market price of the exchanged stock
      following the announcement of the sale).

    To determine earnings per share, we allocate our earnings to each series of
our common stock based on the earnings attributable to that series of stock. The
earnings attributable to each series of stock is defined in our charter as the
net income or loss of the corresponding division determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles and as adjusted for tax benefits
allocated to or from that division in accordance with our management and
accounting policies. Our charter also requires that all of our income and
expenses be allocated among our divisions in a reasonable and

                                       35

consistent manner. However, subject to its fiduciary duties, our board of
directors can, at its discretion, change the methods of allocating earnings to
each series of common stock. We intend to allocate earnings using our current
methods for the forseeable future. Our board of directors has also adopted
accounting policies relating to the management of our operating divisions. These
policies are set forth in Exhibit 99.1 to our 2000 Form 10-K.

    Because the earnings allocated to each series of stock are based on the
income or losses attributable to each corresponding division, we include
financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the
corporation as well as for each of our divisions to aid investors in evaluating
our performance and the performance of each of our divisions.

    While each tracking stock is designed to reflect a division's performance,
it is common stock of Genzyme Corporation and not of a division; each division
is not a company or a legal entity, and therefore does not and cannot issue
stock. Consequently, holders of a series of tracking stock have no specific
rights to assets allocated to the corresponding division. Genzyme Corporation
continues to hold title to all of the assets allocated to each division and is
responsible for all of its liabilities, regardless of what we deem for financial
statement presentation purposes as allocated to any division. Holders of each
tracking stock, as common stockholders, are therefore subject to the risks of
investing in the businesses, assets and liabilities of Genzyme as a whole. For
instance, the assets allocated to each division are subject to company-wide
claims of creditors, product liability plaintiffs and stockholder litigation.
Also, in the event of a Genzyme liquidation, insolvency or similar event,
holders of each tracking stock would only have the rights of common stock
holders in the combined assets of Genzyme.

    We provide separate financial statements for each of our divisions as well
as consolidated statements that include the consolidated results of each of our
divisions and our corporate operations taken as a whole. You should read this
discussion of and analysis of our financial position and results of operations
in conjunction with those unaudited, consolidated financial statements and
related notes, which are included in this report.

    The increase in sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme was
attributable to our continued identification of new Gaucher disease patients
worldwide coupled with significant investment in our global infrastructure that
has continued to increase international sales. Additionally, we continue to make
available Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme for the treatment of Gaucher
disease, although we have successfully converted virtually all Gaucher disease
patients who receive therapy from us to a treatment regimen using
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme.

    Our 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 our 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. We are aware of companies
that 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 us with exclusive marketing rights for
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme in the United States until May 2001. We
also have patents protecting our method of manufacturing
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme until 2010 and the composition of
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme as made by that process until 2013. The
expiration of market exclusivity and orphan drug status in May 2001 will likely
subject Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme to increased competition which may
decrease the amount of revenue we receive from this product or the growth of
that revenue.

    Although sales of Genzyme General's Gaucher disease therapies continue to
increase, the decline as a percentage of total product revenue is a trend we
expect will continue in 2001. We expect that growth in the sales of
Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder will continue to increase, driven
primarily by the accelerating adoption of the product by nephrologists, as
evidenced during the past two quarters by significant increases in both renewal
prescriptions and new prescriptions. Revenue from sales of
Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder represented approximately 11% of
our total product revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and included
sales of Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules and sales of the new tablet
formation. We launched the tablet formulation in the United States during the
third quarter of 2000. Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder is used to
reduce serum phosphorus levels in patients with end-stage renal disease. We
began recording revenues from Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder
during the second quarter of 2000 under an amended distribution arrangement with
GelTex, which we acquired in December 2000. Prior to this amendment, revenues
from Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder were recorded by RenaGel
LLC, our joint venture with GelTex, and were $8.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2000.

    Therapeutics revenue for each period also includes sales of
Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone, which is an adjunctive diagnostic tool
for well differentiated thyroid cancer. Revenues for
Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone increased for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period a year ago, due primarily to
increased market penetration.

    Diagnostic product revenues increased for the three months ended March 31,
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, due primarily to increased sales of
HDL and LDL cholesterol testing products. Diagnostic's product revenue includes
royalties on product sales by Techne Corporation's biotechnology group.

    The decrease in cardiothoracic revenue in the three months ended March 31,
2001, when compared to the same period of 2000, was due to the competitive
pricing pressures in the chest drainage market. This decrease was offset, in
part, by the continued growth in the minimally invasive cardiac surgery products
and the sales revenue from Focal Seal-Registered Trademark--L surgical sealant,
which was added to the cardiothoracic product category in the third quarter of
2000 pursuant to a distribution and marketing agreement with Focal that provides
us with exclusive distribution rights for this product in North America.

    Orthopaedics product revenue increased for the three months ended March 31,
2001, when compared to the same period of 2000, primarily due to the sales of
Synvisc-Registered Trademark- viscosupplementation product, which was added to
the orthopaedics product category in December 2000 through our acquisition of
Biomatrix.

    Biosurgical specialties product revenue increased in the three months ended
March 31, 2001 when compared to the same period of 2000 due to the increase in
sales of Seprafilm-TM- bioresorbable membrane and Sepramesh-TM- biosurgical
composite. An increase in sales to original equipment manufacturers, and sales
generated from Hylaform-Registered Trademark- and other skin care products also
contributed to the overall increase in biosurgical specialties product revenue.

    The increase in Genzyme General's research and development revenue in the
three months ended March 31, 2001 is primarily attributable to $1.9 million of
revenue recognized by GelTex, which we acquired in December 2000, in connection
with its collaboration agreements for the development of a second-generation
lipid-altering product. Genzyme Biosurgery's research and development revenue
decreased as a result of a non-recurring license fee it received in the first
quarter of 2000. Genzyme Molecular Oncology's research and development revenue
for the first three months of 2001 is attributable to funded research and
revenue recognized from a technology access fee under the cancer antigen
discovery agreement it entered with Purdue Pharma, L.P. in the fourth quarter of
2000, and payments received under cancer diagnostic license agreements. Genzyme
Molecular Oncology's research and development revenue in the same period of 2000
was attributable to a $2.0 million development milestone payment received under
a license agreement with Schering-Plough Ltd.

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT AND SERVICE REVENUE:

    A substantial portion of our 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, which increased
18% to $96.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $81.0 million
in the same period last year due to our continued identification of new Gaucher
disease patients worldwide coupled with significant investment in our global
infrastructure that has continued to increase

    We provide a broad range of healthcare products and services. As a result,
our 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 sales of surgical or diagnostic products.

PRODUCT MARGINS

    Product margins for products allocated to Genzyme General continued to
increase for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same
period a year ago primarily as a result of increased sales of
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme and Renagel-Registered Trademark-
phosphate binder during the first quarter of 2001.

                                       41

This was offset in part by a charge of $3.4 million to cost of products sold to
amortize a portion of the write-up of the inventory obtained in connection with
our acquisition of GelTex. The decrease in Genzyme General's product margin as a
percentage of product revenue for the period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to
the same period a year ago is primarily attributable to the addition of
Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder, a lower margin product.

    Product margins for products allocated to Genzyme Biosurgery increased
during the period due to increased sales of higher margin products such as
Synvisc-Registered Trademark- viscosupplementation products and devices for
minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Genzyme Biosurgery's product margins for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 include a charge of $6.0 million to cost of
products sold to amortize a portion of the write-up of the inventory obtained in
connection with our acquisition of Biomatrix in December 2000. Without the
effect of this charge, Genzyme Biosurgery's product margin for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 would have increased 99% to $26.0 million.

    SERVICE MARGINS

    Service margins for services allocated to Genzyme General for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period a year ago,
continued to increase primarily as a result of increased sales of our DNA and
cancer testing services. Service margin as a percentage of service revenue
increased slightly as increased service revenues of 21% were offset by a 16%
increase in the cost of services sold for the three months ended March 31, 2001
as compared to the same period a year ago.

    Service margins for services allocated to Genzyme Biosurgery decreased for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of a decrease in
Carticel-Registered Trademark- chondrocytes and Epicel-Registered Trademark-
skin grafts service revenue and an increase in the fixed costs associated with
these services.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000
is related to:

    - increased staffing to support the growth in several of Genzyme General's
      product lines;

    - increased expenditures to support the increased sales of
      Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, Renagel-Registered Trademark-
      phosphate binder, Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone and Fabrazyme-TM-
      enzyme; and

    - the addition of expenses from GelTex and Biomatrix, both of which we
      acquired in December 2000.

    Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000
included a one-time charge of $19.5 million representing initial amounts payable
to Synpac (North Carolina), Inc. under a license granted to us by Synpac to
develop and commercialize a human alpha-glucosidase enzyme replacement therapy
for Pompe disease. Excluding this charge, research and development expenses
increased 58% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2000, as a result of:

    - increased spending on Genzyme General's program to develop Fabrazyme-TM-
      enzyme for the treatment of Fabry disease;

    - the addition of spending on Synvisc-Registered Trademark-
      viscosupplementation product as a result of our acquisition of Biomatrix;

    - the addition of spending on the C. DIFFICILE colitis, DENSPM, iron
      chelation, oral mucositis, anti-obesity, and GT102-279 programs as a
      result of the acquisition of GelTex; and

    - increased spending on other internal programs.

                                       42

    In connection with our acquisition of GelTex on December 14, 2000, we
converted options to purchase GelTex common stock into options to purchase
Genzyme General Stock. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 44,
"Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation" ("FIN 44"),
at the date of acquisition the intrinsic value for the unvested portion of these
options of $10.2 million was allocated to deferred compensation, a component of
stockholders' equity. This value is being amortized to operating expense over
the remaining vesting period of one year from the date of acquisition. The
expense is being allocated to the appropriate expense categories of our
statement of operations based on the functional responsibility of each employee
or option holder. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, we recorded $2.6
million of compensation expense related to these options, of which $2.2 million
was charged to research and development expense and $0.4 million was charged to
selling, general and administrative expense. At March 31, 2001, $7.4 million
remained in deferred compensation, all of which will be fully amortized by
December 14, 2001.

(1) We acquired GelTex in December 2000.

                                       43

    We currently own approximately 26% of the common stock of Genzyme
Transgenics and also record in equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates
our portion of its results.

    Our equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates increased slightly for
the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2000 as a result of:

    - increased losses from our joint venture with BioMarin;

    - increased losses from our joint ventures with Pharming; and

    - increased losses from Genzyme Transgenics.

These increases were offset in part by decreased losses from our joint venture
with Diacrin.

GAIN ON AFFILIATE SALE OF STOCK

    During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, in accordance with our policy
pertaining to affiliate sales of stock, we recognized a gain of $20.3 million
due to the issuance by Genzyme Transgenics, an unconsolidated affiliate, of
additional shares of its common stock. There were no similar gains recognized
during the quarter ended March 31, 2001.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET LOSS OF SUBSIDIARY

    ATIII LLC is our joint venture with Genzyme Transgenics for the development
and commercialization of transgenic recombinant human antithrombin III. We
allocate our interest in ATIII LLC to Genzyme General. Due to our combined
direct and indirect interest in ATIII LLC, 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 increased in the
three months ended March 31, 2001 due to a change in the funding agreement for
the joint venture in March 2001, retroactive to January 1, 2001, which increased
Genzyme Transgenics portion of the losses incurred by ATIII LLC to 50% as
compared to 30% for the same period a year ago.

                                       44

INVESTMENT INCOME

    Our investment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2001
due primarily to higher average invested cash balances as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE

    Our interest expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to the same period a year ago as a result of an additional
$350.0 million of debt drawn under our revolving credit facility in
December 2000, which was used to finance of a portion of the cash consideration
for our acquisitions of GelTex and Biomatrix.

Effective tax rate................................     42%          27%


    Our tax rates for both periods vary from the U.S. statutory tax rate as a
result of our:

    - 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.

    The increase in our effective tax rate for the period ending March 31, 2001,
as compared to the same period a year ago, was primarily attributable to an
increase in non-deductible amortization of intangible consisting largely of
goodwill resulting from our acquisitions of GelTex and Biomatrix in December
2000.

CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

    On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that we
recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our
consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
Subsequent changes in fair value will be reflected in income, unless the
derivative is part of a qualified hedging relationship.

    In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, we recorded a
cumulative-effect adjustment of $4.2 million, net of tax, in our unaudited,
consolidated statement of operations to record the fair value of certain common
stock warrants held on January 1, 2001. Transition adjustments pertaining to
interest rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges and our foreign currency
forward contracts were not significant. For the three months ended March 31,
2001, we recorded a charge of $3.6 million in other expense to reflect the
change in the value of certain common stock warrants from

                                       45

January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001. We also recorded a charge of $0.5 million in
other comprehensive income to reflect the change in the value of our interest
rate swaps the period, net of tax.

    In the normal course of business, we manage risks associated with foreign
exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices through a variety of
strategies, including the use of hedging transactions, executed in accordance
with our policies. Our hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, the
use of various derivative financial instruments. As a matter of policy, we do
not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure. Any
change in the value of our derivative instruments would be substantially offset
by an opposite change in the value of the underlying hedged items. We do not use
derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

THERAPEUTICS

    Genzyme General's continued increase in product revenue primarily was due to
increased sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, which was attributable
to Genzyme General's continued identification of new Gaucher disease patients
worldwide coupled with significant investment in our global infrastructure that
has continued to increase international sales. Additionally, Genzyme General
continues to market Ceredase-Registered Trademark- enzyme for the treatment of
Gaucher disease, although it has successfully converted virtually all Gaucher
disease patients that we treat to a treatment regimen using
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme.

    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. Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme has
orphan drug status, providing us with exclusive marketing rights for
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme in the United States until May 2001. We
also have

                                       47

patents protecting our method of manufacturing Cerezyme-Registered Trademark-
enzyme until 2010 and the composition of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme
as made by that process until 2013. The expiration of market exclusivity and
orphan drug status in May 2001 will likely subject
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme to increased competition which may
decrease the amount of revenue Genzyme General receives from this product or the
growth of that revenue. The following table provides information regarding the
change in sales of Genzyme General's Gaucher disease therapies as a percentage
of its total product revenue during the periods presented:

    Although sales of Genzyme General's Gaucher disease therapies continue to
increase, the decline as a percentage of total product revenue is a trend we
expect will continue in 2001. We expect that growth in the sales of
Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder will continue to increase, driven
primarily by the accelerating adoption of the product by nephrologists, as
evidenced during the past two quarters by significant increases in both renewal
prescriptions and new prescriptions. Revenue from sales of
Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder represented approximately 14% of
Genzyme General's total product revenue for the three months ended March 31,
2001. Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder is used to reduce serum
phosphorus levels in patients with end-stage renal disease. We began recording
revenues from Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder during the second
quarter of 2000 under an amended distribution agreement with GelTex, which we
acquired in December 2000. Prior to this amendment, revenues from
Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder were recorded by RenaGel LLC, our
joint venture with GelTex, and were $8.0 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2000. Revenues from sales of Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate
binder include sales of Renagel-Registered Trademark- capsules and sales of the
new tablet formulation. We launched the tablet formulation in the United States
during the third quarter of 2000.

    Therapeutics revenue for each period also includes sales of
Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone, which is an adjunctive diagnostic tool
for well differentiated thyroid cancer. Revenues for
Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone increased for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period a year ago, due primarily to
increased market penetration.

DIAGNOSTIC PRODUCTS

    Diagnostic product revenues increased for the three months ended March 31,
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, due primarily to increased sales of
HDL and LDL cholesterol testing products. Diagnostics' product revenue includes
royalties on product sales by Techne Corporation's biotechnology group.

OTHER

    The increase in other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000, was primarily attributable to:

    - the addition of sales of Fabrazyme-TM- enzyme in France under an
      Authorisation Temporaire d'utilisation from the French Medicines Agency;

    - increased sales of lipids and peptides for drug delivery; and

    - increased sales of genetic testing services.

                                       48

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT REVENUE

    The increase in Genzyme General's research and development revenue is
primarily attributable to revenue recognized by GelTex, which we acquired in
December 2000, in connection with its collaboration agreement for the
development of a second-generation lipid-altering product.

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCT AND SERVICE REVENUE

    A substantial portion of Genzyme General's revenue was generated outside of
the United States, as described in the table below. Most of these revenues were
attributable to sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, which increased
18% to $96.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2001 from
$81.0 million in the same period last year primarily due to the continued
identification of new Gaucher disease patients worldwide coupled with
significant investment in our global infrastructure that has continued to
increase international sales. The following table provides information regarding
the change in international product and service sales as a percentage of total
product and service revenue during the periods presented:

    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.

PRODUCT MARGIN

    Product margin for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the
same period a year ago, continued to increase primarily as a result of increased
sales of Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme and Renagel-Registered Trademark-
phosphate binder during the first quarter of 2001, offset in part by a charge of
$3.4 million to cost of products sold to amortize a portion of the write up of
the inventory obtained in connection with our acquisition of GelTex in December
2000. The decrease in product margin as a percentage of product revenue for the
period ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period a year ago, was
primarily attributable to the addition of Renagel-Registered Trademark-
phosphate binder, a lower margin product. These

                                       49

lower margins attributable to Renagel-Registered Trademark- phosphate binder
were offset by increased efficiency and process improvements in manufacturing
Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme.

SERVICE MARGIN

    Service margin for the three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the
same period a year ago, continued to increase primarily as a result of increased
sales of our DNA and cancer testing services. Service margin as a percentage of
service revenue increased slightly as a service revenue increase of 21% was
offset by a 16% increase in the cost of services sold for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period a year ago.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2000
is related to:

    - increased staffing to support the growth in several of Genzyme General's
      product lines;

    - increased expenditures to support the increased sales of
      Cerezyme-Registered Trademark- enzyme, Renagel-Registered Trademark-
      phosphate binder, Thyrogen-Registered Trademark- hormone and Fabrazyme-TM-
      enzyme; and

    - the addition of expenses from GelTex, which was acquired in December 2000.

    Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2001
included a one time charge of $19.5 million representing initial amounts payable
to Synpac (North Carolina), Inc. under a license granted to us by Synpac to
develop and commercialize a human alpha-glucosidase enzyme replacement therapy
for Pompe disease. Excluding this charge, research and development expenses
increased 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of:

    - the addition of spending on the C. DIFFICILE colitis, DENSPM, iron
      chelation, oral mucositis, anti-obesity, and GT102-279 programs as a
      result of our acquisition of GelTex; and

    - increased spending on Genzyme General's program to develop Fabrazyme-TM-
      enzyme for the treatment of Fabry disease and on other internal programs.

    In connection with our acquisition of GelTex on December 14, 2000, we
converted options to purchase GelTex common stock into options to purchase
Genzyme General Stock. In accordance with FIN 44, at the date of acquisition the
intrinsic value for the unvested portion of these options of $10.2 million was
allocated to deferred compensation, a component of stockholders' equity. This
value is being amortized to operating expense over the remaining vesting period
of one year from the date of acquisition. The expense is being allocated to the
appropriate expense categories of Genzyme General's statement of operations
based on the functional responsibility of each employee or option holder. For
the three months ended March 31, 2001, Genzyme General recorded $2.6 million of
compensation expense related to these options, of which $2.2 million was charged
to research and development expense and $0.4 million was charged to selling,
general and administrative expense. At March 31, 2001, $7.4 million remained in
deferred compensation, a component of division equity, all of which will be
fully amortized by December 14, 2001.

its portion of the results of our joint ventures with BioMarin, Pharming and
Diacrin. 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
slightly for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as a result of:

    - increased losses from our joint venture with BioMarin;

    - increased losses from our joint ventures with Pharming; and

    - increased losses from Genzyme Transgenics.

These increases were offset in part by decreased losses from our joint venture
with Diacrin.

GAIN ON AFFILIATE SALE OF STOCK

    During the period ended March 31, 2000, Genzyme General recognized a gain of
$20.3 million due to the issuance by Genzyme Transgenics of additional shares of
its common stock. There were no similar transactions during the period ended
March 31, 2001.

MINORITY INTEREST IN NET LOSS OF SUBSIDIARY

    Due to our combined direct and indirect interest in ATIII LLC, 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 increased due to a change in the funding agreement for the joint
venture in March 2001, retroactive to January 1, 2001, which increased Genzyme
Transgenics' portion of the losses incurred by ATIII LLC to 50% for the three
months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to 30% for the same period a year ago.

INVESTMENT INCOME

    Genzyme General's investment income increased for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 due primarily to higher average cash balances as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

                                       51

INTEREST EXPENSE

    Genzyme General's interest expense increased for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period a year ago, as a result of
$150.0 million of debt drawn on our revolving credit facility in December 2000
as part of the financing for the GelTex acquisition.

Effective tax rate....................................       37%         29%


    Genzyme General's tax rates 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; and

    - use of tax credits.

The increase in Genzyme General's effective tax rate for the period ending
March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period a year ago was primarily
attributable to an increase in nondeductible amortization of intangibles,
consisting largely of goodwill resulting from our December 2000 acquisition of
GelTex.

CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE

    On January 1, 2001, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
("SFAS") 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as
amended by SFAS 137 and SFAS 138. SFAS 133 establishes accounting and reporting
standards for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments
embedded in other contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that we
recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our
consolidated balance sheet and measure those instruments at fair value.
Subsequent changes in fair value will be reflected in income, unless the
derivative is part of a qualified hedging relationship.

    In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS 133, Genzyme General
recorded a transition adjustment of $4.2 million in its unaudited, combined
statement of operations to recognize the fair value of certain common stock
warrants held on January 1, 2001. Transition adjustments pertaining to interest
rate swaps designated as cash-flow hedges and our foreign currency contracts
were not significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, Genzyme General
recorded a charge of $3.6 million in other expense to reflect the change in
value of certain common stock warrants from January 1, 2001 to March 31, 2001.
Genzyme General also recorded a charge of $0.5 million in division equity to
reflect the change in value of its interest rate swaps during the period, net of
tax.

    In the normal course of business, we manage risks associated with foreign
exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices through a variety of
strategies, including the use of hedging transactions, executed in accordance
with our policies. Our hedging transactions include, but are not limited to, the
use of various derivative financial instruments. As a matter of policy, we do
not use derivative instruments unless there is an underlying exposure. Any
change in the value of our derivative

                                       52

instruments would be substantially offset by an opposite change in the value of
the underlying hedged items. We do not use derivative instruments for trading or
speculative purposes.

                       A DIVISION OF GENZYME CORPORATION

    In December 2000, we acquired Biomatrix, Inc. We accounted for the
acquisition as a purchase. Immediately prior to the acquisition, we combined two
of our operating divisions, Genzyme Surgical Products and Genzyme Tissue Repair,
to form a new division called Genzyme Biosurgery. We allocated the acquired
assets and liabilities of Biomatrix to Genzyme Biosurgery. The combination of
Genzyme Surgical Products and Genzyme Tissue Repair to form Genzyme Biosurgery
did not result in any adjustments to the book values of the net assets of the
divisions because they remained divisions of the same corporation. We present
the financial statements of Genzyme Biosurgery as though the divisions had been
combined for all periods presented, and include the operations of Biomatrix from
the date of acquisition.

    The components of Genzyme Biosurgery's combined statements of operations are

    The decrease in cardiothoracic revenue in the three months ended March 31,
2001, when compared to the same period of 2000, was due to decreased sales of
chest drainage systems resulting from competitive pricing pressures in that
market. This decrease was offset, in part, by the continued

                                       53

growth in sales of minimally invasive cardiac surgery products and sales revenue
from FocalSeal-Registered Trademark--L surgical sealant, which was added to the
cardiovascular product category in the third quarter of 2000 pursuant to a
distribution and marketing agreement with Focal which provides us with exclusive
distribution rights for this product in North America.

    The orthopaedics product revenue increased for the three months ended
March 31, 2001, when compared to the same period of 2000, primarily due to the
sales of Synvisc-Registered Trademark- viscosupplementation product, which was
added to the orthopaedics product category in December 2000 through our
acquisition of Biomatrix.

    The increase in biosurgical specialties product revenue in the three months
ended March 31, 2001, when compared to the same period of 2000, is due to the
increase in sales of Seprafilm-TM- bioresorbable membrane and Sepramesh-TM-
biosurgical composite. An increase in sales to original equipment manufacturers
and sales generated from Hylaform-Registered Trademark- and other skin care
products also contributed to the overall increase in biosurgical specialties
product revenue.

    International revenue as a percentage of total sales for the three months
ended March 31, 2001 was 22% as compared to 26% in the same period of 2000.

    Genzyme Biosurgery provides a broad range of healthcare products and
services. As a result, Genzyme Biosurgery's gross margins may vary significantly
depending on the market conditions of each product or service.

    On December 18, 2000, we acquired Biomatrix, Inc. and adjusted the inventory
to fair value, resulting in an increase of $11.3 million. This amount will be
amortized to cost of products sold as the acquired inventory is sold. For the
quarter ending March 31, 2001, $6.0 million of the initial $11.3 million was
charged to cost of products sold. We expect to sell the remaining amount of the
acquired inventory during the second quarter of 2001. Without the effect of this
adjustment, Genzyme Biosurgery's product margin for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 would have increased 99% to $26.0 million.

    Excluding the adjustment described above, product margins increased slightly
in the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of an increase in sales of
higher margin products such as Synvisc-Registered Trademark-
viscosupplementation product and devices for minimally invasive cardiac surgery.

    Service margins decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a
result of a decrease in Carticel-Registered Trademark- chondrocytes and
Epicel-Registered Trademark- skin grafts service revenue and an increase in the
fixed costs associated with these services.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the three
months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000, was due to
the additional selling, general and administrative expenses related to the
Biomatrix business, which we purchased in December 2000.

    Genzyme Biosurgery's research and development expenses increased during the
three months ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period in 2000, due
to an increase in spending for orthopaedics products primarily as a result of
the addition of Synvisc-Registered Trademark- viscosupplementation product to
the orthopaedics line in December 2000.

EQUITY IN NET LOSS OF UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

    In January 2001, Focal completed the exercise of its option to require us to
purchase $5.0 million in Focal common stock, at which time we began accounting
for our investment under the equity method. We have allocated our investment in
Focal to Genzyme Biosurgery. Genzyme Biosurgery records in equity in net loss of
unconsolidated affiliates its portion of the results of Focal. Genzyme
Biosurgery's equity in net loss of unconsolidated affiliates increased for the
three months ended March 31, 2001 when compared to the same period in 2000
because we did not own an equity interest in Focal in 2000.

INVESTMENT INCOME

    Investment income decreased as a result of lower average cash balances in
the first three months of 2001 when compared to the first three months of 2000.

INTEREST EXPENSE

    Interest expense increased primarily as a result of the $200.0 million of
indebtedness outstanding, as of March 31, 2001, under the portion of our
revolving credit facility that we allocated to Genzyme Biosurgery. Additionally,
we assumed a 6.9% convertible subordinated note in connection with the
acquisition of Biomatrix in December 2000, which we have allocated to Genzyme
Biosurgery. At March 31, 2001, $10.0 million of the principal amount of this
note remained outstanding.

    Licensing revenue in the first three months of 2001 included revenue
recognized from a technology access fee associated with Genzyme Molecular
Oncology's cancer antigen discovery agreement with Purdue Pharma, L.P. Licensing
revenue decreased as compared to the same period of 2000, due to a $2.0 million
development milestone payment received in the first quarter of 2000 under a
license agreement with Schering-Plough Ltd.

    Research and development revenue in the three month period ended March 31,
2001 was solely attributable to research performed on behalf of the
collaboration agreement with Purdue Pharma.

COST OF REVENUE

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology's cost of revenue includes:

    - work performed on the cancer antigen discovery agreement with Purdue
      Pharma; and

    - royalties paid to third parties.

                                       56

Cost of revenues increased in the first three months of 2001 as a result of the
work performed on the Purdue Pharma collaboration agreement that started in the
fourth quarter of 2000.

OPERATING EXPENSES

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology's selling, general and administrative expenses
increased for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of enhanced
business development efforts and an increase in information technology, legal,
accounting and general management services performed by Genzyme General on
Genzyme Molecular Oncology's behalf.

    Research and development expenses increased for the three months ended
March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period of last year. The increase
primarily was attributable to Genzyme Molecular Oncology's expansion of its
cancer vaccine clinical trials and increased activity in its antigen discovery
and antiangiogenesis programs.

AMORTIZATION OF INTANGIBLES

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology's amortization of intangibles is attributable to
intangible assets acquired in connection with the acquisition of
PharmaGenics, Inc. in June 1997. Because Genzyme Molecular Oncology fully
amortized these intangible assets in June 2000, there is no amortization expense
in the first quarter of 2001.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology's other income increased in the three months
ended March 31, 2001 due to an increase in interest income that is attributable
to higher average cash balances. Interest expense decreased in the three months
ended March 31, 2001, as compared to the same period of 2000, due to the
May 2000 repayment of $5.0 million that Genzyme Molecular Oncology borrowed
under our revolving credit facility. This amount was outstanding during the
first quarter of 2000.

                                       57

B. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

                              GENZYME CORPORATION

    At March 31, 2001, we had cash, cash-equivalents, and short- and long-term
investments of $619.6 million, a increase of $20.0 million from December 31,
2000.

    We generated $14.0 million in cash from its operations for the three months
ended March 31, 2001.

    Our investing activities utilized $65.9 million in cash for the three months
ended March 31, 2001. Investing activities used:

    - $5.8 million for our net of purchases, sales and maturities of
      investments;

    - $25.7 million of cash as an advance payment for our purchase of all of the
      Class A Limited Partnership interests of GDP as described below;

    - $5.0 million of cash to purchase additional shares of Focal common stock;

    - $19.9 million to fund purchases of property, plant and equipment; and

    - $8.1 million to fund our investments in unconsolidated affiliates.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2001, we received $21.0 million in
cash from the exercise of options and the purchase of shares under our employee
stock plans. Our financing activities used $3.1 million to repay a bank
overdrafts.

    In January 2001, we purchased all of the outstanding Class A limited
partnership interests of GDP for an advance payment of approximately
$25.7 million in cash plus royalties on sales of certain Sepra-TM- products for
ten years. We allocate our interest in GDP to Genzyme Biosurgery. As a result of
the acquisition, significant control over the activities of GDP passed to
Genzyme Biosurgery. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the
entire purchase price was allocated to the intangible assets acquired and
goodwill, which will be amortized over eight or ten years depending upon the
asset classification.

    We have access to a $500.0 million revolving credit facility,
$150.0 million of which matures in December 2001 and $350.0 million of which
matures in December 2003. At March 31, 2001, $18.0 million was outstanding under
the facility that matures in December 2001. In addition, $350.0 million was
outstanding under the facility that matures in December 2003. Borrowings under
this facility bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin.

    We believe that our available cash, investments and cash flow from
operations will be sufficient to fund our planned operations and capital
requirements for the foreseeable future. Although we currently have substantial
cash resources and positive cash flow, we intend to use substantial portions of
our available cash for:

    - product development and marketing;

    - expanding facilities;

    - working capital; and

    - strategic business initiatives.

    Our cash reserves will be further reduced to pay principal and interest on
the following debt:

    - $368.0 million in principal under our revolving credit facility with a
      syndicate of commercial banks;

                                       58

    - $249.5 million in outstanding principal under our 5 1/4% convertible
      subordinated notes that mature in June 2005 and are convertible into
      shares of Genzyme General Stock, Genzyme Biosurgery Stock and Molecular
      Oncology Stock (see "Subsequent Events" below);

    - $21.2 million in principal under our 5% convertible subordinated
      debentures due August 2003, which are convertible into shares of Genzyme
      General Stock; and

    - $10.0 million in principal under our 6.9% convertible subordinated note in
      favor of UBS Warburg LLC that matures in May 2003 and is convertible into
      shares of Biosurgery Stock.

If we use cash to pay or redeem this debt, including principal and interest due
on it, our cash reserves will be diminished.

    To satisfy these and other commitments, we may have to obtain additional
financing. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain any additional
financing, extend any existing financing arrangement, or obtain either on
favorable terms.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

    PLANNED ACQUISITION OF FOCAL, INC.

    In April 2001, we signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire Focal.
Focal develops, manufactures and commercializes products based on a proprietary
polymer technology. We will allocate this acquisition to Genzyme Biosurgery and
will account for it using the purchase method of accounting. We currently hold
approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of Focal's common stock and will
acquire the remaining 78% in an exchange of shares of Biosurgery Stock for
shares of Focal common stock upon completion of the merger. Under the terms of
the merger agreement, Focal shareholders will receive 0.1545 of a share of
Biosurgery Stock for each share of Focal common stock they hold, except for
10,000 shares of Focal common stock that we have agreed to purchase for cash
from a Focal shareholder. Approximately 2.1 million shares of Biosurgery Stock
will be used as merger consideration. We expect the acquisition, which is
subject to the approval of Focal's shareholders, to close in the second or third
quarter of 2001. In anticipation of the merger, Focal agreed to modify certain
terms of the existing stock purchase agreement between the companies. This
agreement commits us, at Focal's option, to make future equity investments of up
to $5.0 million subject to certain conditions.

    PLANNED ACQUISITION OF WYNTEK DIAGNOSTICS, INC.

    In May 2001, we announced an agreement to acquire all of the outstanding
capital stock of privately-held Wyntek Diagnostics, Inc. for $65.0 million in
cash. Wyntek is a provider of high quality point of care rapid diagnostic tests
for pregnancy and infectious diseases. We will allocate the acquisition to
Genzyme General and will account for the acquisition using the purchase method
of accounting. We anticipate the acquisition, which is subject to our receipt of
regulatory approvals, to close in the second quarter of 2001.

    INTENDED REDEMPTION OF $250.0 MILLION 5 1/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES

    On May 1, 2001, we sent a notice to the trustee under the indenture for our
$250.0 million 5 1/4% convertible subordinated notes due 2005, indicating our
intention to redeem any notes that remain unconverted at June 15, 2001. Each
$1,000 principal amount of these notes currently is convertible into
approximately 25.25 shares of Genzyme General Stock, 2.74 shares of Biosurgery
Stock and 2.73 shares of Molecular Oncology Stock.

                                       59

    PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF $575.0 MILLION 3% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED DEBENTURES

    In May 2001, we completed a private placement of $575.0 million of 3%
convertible subordinated debentures. We have allocated the debentures and the
offering proceeds to Genzyme General. Net proceeds from the offering were
approximately $561.7 million. The debentures are convertible, upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions, into shares of Genzyme General Stock at an
initial conversion price of $140.60. The debentures mature on May 15, 2021 and
are first callable on May 20, 2004. Holders may require us to repurchase all or
part of their debentures for cash on May 15, 2006, May 15, 2011 or May 15, 2016
at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the debentures plus accrued
interest. We expect to utilize the proceeds from the sale of the debentures for
working capital and general corporate purposes.

                                GENZYME GENERAL
                       A DIVISION OF GENZYME CORPORATION

    At March 31, 2001, Genzyme General's cash, cash-equivalents, and short- and
long-term investments increased $43.7 million to $575.0 million as compared to
$531.3 million at December 31, 2000.

    Genzyme General generated $45.3 million in cash from its operations for the
three months ended March 31, 2001.

    Genzyme General's investing activities utilized $41.4 million in cash for
the three months ended March 31, 2001. Investing activities used:

    - $13.6 million for Genzyme General's net of purchases, sales and maturities
      of investments;

    - $18.2 million to fund purchases of property, plant and equipment; and

    - $8.1 million to fund Genzyme General's investments in unconsolidated
      affiliates.

    During the three months ended March 31, 2001, Genzyme General received
$20.5 million in cash from the exercise of options and purchase of shares under
our employee stock plans.

    Genzyme General, together with our other operating divisions, has access to
our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, $150.0 million of which matures in
December 2001 and $350.0 million of which matures in December 2003. At
March 31, 2001, $18.0 million was outstanding under the facility that matures in
December 2001. In addition, $350.0 million was outstanding under the facility
that matures in December 2003, $150.0 million of which was allocated to Genzyme
General in connection with the financing of a portion of the cash component of
the GelTex merger consideration. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at
LIBOR plus a margin.

    At March 31, 2001, $10.0 million of Genzyme General's cash remained
available to Genzyme Biosurgery under a $20.0 million interdivisional financing
arrangement with Genzyme General. This arrangement was assumed by Genzyme
Biosurgery from Genzyme Tissue Repair upon the formation of Genzyme Biosurgery
in December 2000. Under the terms of this arrangement, Genzyme Biosurgery may
draw down funds as needed each quarter in exchange for Biosurgery designated
shares based on the fair market value of Biosurgery Stock (as defined in our
charter) at the time of the draw. Biosurgery designated shares are shares of
Biosurgery Stock that are not issued and outstanding, but which our board of
directors may issue, sell or distribute without allocating the proceeds to
Genzyme Biosurgery.

    At March 31, 2001, $15.0 million of Genzyme General's cash remained
available to Genzyme Molecular Oncology under a $30.0 million interdivisional
financing arrangement with Genzyme General. Under the terms of this arrangement,
Genzyme Molecular Oncology may draw down funds as needed each quarter in
exchange for Molecular Oncology designated shares based on the fair market

                                       60

value of Molecular Oncology Stock (as defined in our charter) at the time of the
draw. Molecular Oncology designated shares are shares of Molecular Oncology
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.

    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:

    - $249.5 million in principal under our 5 1/4% convertible subordinated
      notes due June 2005, which are convertible into shares of Genzyme General
      Stock; and

    - $21.2 million in principal under our 5% convertible subordinated
      debentures due August 2003, which are convertible into shares of Genzyme
      General Stock.

If Genzyme General uses cash to pay or redeem any of 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 Biosurgery or Genzyme Molecular Oncology 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.

                       A DIVISION OF GENZYME CORPORATION

    At March 31, 2001, Genzyme Biosurgery had cash, cash equivalents, and short-
and long-term investments of $21.5 million, a decrease of $56.6 million from
December 31, 2000.

    Genzyme Biosurgery used $24.1 million in cash for operations in the first
three months of 2001. This is primarily due to Genzyme Biosurgery's net loss of
$30.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

    Genzyme Biosurgery's investing activities used $32.3 million of cash due to
the following:

    - the purchase of all of the outstanding Class A limited partnership
      interests of GDP for an advance payment of approximately $25.7 million in
      cash as described below;

    - $5.0 million of cash was used to purchase Focal common stock as described
      below; and

    - $1.6 million of cash was used to fund capital expenditures.

    In January 2001, Focal completed the exercise of its option to require us to
purchase $5.0 million of Focal common stock at a price of $2.06 per share at
which time our investment in Focal became an equity interest. We have allocated
our investment in Focal to Genzyme Biosurgery. In anticipation of our planned
merger, Focal has agreed to modify certain terms of the existing purchase
agreement between the companies. Under this agreement we are committed, at
Focal's option, to make future equity investments of up to $5.0 million subject
to certain conditions.

    In November 2000, we exercised our option to purchase all of the outstanding
Class A limited partnership interests of Genzyme Development Partners, L.P. for
an advance payment approximately $25.7 million in cash. This payment was made in
January 2001, at which time significant control passed to Genzyme Biosurgery.
Genzyme Biosurgery's cash reserves were diminished as a result of this purchase.
We are also required to pay royalties to the former holders of the Class A
interests on sales of certain Sepra-TM- products for ten years.

    In connection with our acquisition of Biomatrix, we assumed a 6.9%
convertible subordinated note in favor of UBS Warburg LLC that matures in
May 2003. We have allocated this note to Genzyme Biosurgery. At March 31, 2001,
$10.0 million of the principle of this note remained outstanding. Genzyme
Biosurgery will use a part of its cash flow to satisfy debt service on this
note. If all or a portion of the note is not converted at the option of the
holder into Biosurgery Stock, at maturity Genzyme Biosurgery's cash reserves
will be diminished by the amount necessary to repay the outstanding principal of
the note.

    Prior to our acquisition of Biomatrix, Biomatrix sold 744,000 shares of its
common stock to certain of its employees, directors and consultants in exchange
for ten-year, full recourse promissory notes. The notes accrue interest at rates
ranging from 5.30% to 7.18% and mature at various dates from May 2007

                                       62

through September 2009, upon which all outstanding principal and accrued
interest becomes payable. As a result of the acquisition, these shares were
converted into 532,853 shares of Biosurgery Stock and Genzyme Biosurgery
recorded $14.7 million of outstanding principal and accrued interest to division
equity because the notes were received in exchange for the issuance of stock. As
of March 31, 2001 the outstanding balance on these notes included in division
equity on these notes is $11.5 million.

    Genzyme Biosurgery, together with our other operating divisions, has access
to our $500.0 million revolving credit facility, $150.0 million of which matures
in December 2001 and $350.0 million which matures in December 2003. At
March 31, 2001, $18.0 million was outstanding under the portion of the facility
that matures in December 2001, all of which was allocated to Genzyme Biosurgery.
In addition, $350.0 million was outstanding under the portion of the facility
that matures in December 2003, $200.0 million of which was allocated to Genzyme
Biosurgery in connection with the financing of a portion of the cash component
of the Biomatrix merger consideration. Borrowings under this facility bear
interest at LIBOR plus a margin. Genzyme Biosurgery will use a large part of its
cash flow to make principal and interest payments on this debt. If Genzyme
Biosurgery's cash flow from operations is insufficient to meet these
obligations, we may need to borrow additional funds to make these payments.

    At March 31, 2001, $10.0 million of Genzyme General's cash remained
available to Genzyme Biosurgery under a $20.0 million interdivisional financing
arrangement with Genzyme General. This arrangement was assumed by Genzyme
Biosurgery from Genzyme Tissue Repair upon the formation of Genzyme Biosurgery
in December 2000. Under the terms of this arrangement, Genzyme Biosurgery may
draw down funds as needed each quarter in exchange for Biosurgery designated
shares based on the fair market value (as defined in our charter) of Biosurgery
Stock at the time of the draw.

    In March 2001, Genzyme General announced its preliminary analysis of results
from the phase 2 trial of NeuroCell-TM--PD. Based on the results of the trial
and the need for additional analysis of those results, a phase 3 clinical study
of NeuroCell-TM--PD will not be initiated before June 30, 2001. As a result,
Genzyme General may, at its election after June 30, 2001, require Genzyme
Biosurgery to repay Genzyme General $20.0 million of the $25.0 million Genzyme
Biosurgery received from Genzyme General in connection with the transfer to
Genzyme General of Genzyme Biosurgery's interest in the joint venture. This
refund, together with accrued interest at 13.5% per year, will be due within
90 days of receipt of Genzyme General's notice of its election. This payment may
be made in cash, Biosurgery designated shares, or a combination of both, at
Genzyme Biosurgery's option. If Genzyme Biosurgery elects to repay Genzyme
General in cash, Genzyme Biosurgery's cash reserves will be diminished.

    We believe that Genzyme Biosurgery's cash resources, together with revenues
generated from its products and distribution agreements and from the anticipated
sale of certain assets, will be sufficient to finance its planned operations and
capital requirements through 2001. Genzyme Biosurgery intends to use substantial
portions of its available cash for:

    - research and development;

    - product development and marketing, including for
      Synvisc-Registered Trademark- viscosupplementation product;

    - expanding facilities; and

    - working capital.

                                       63

    Genzyme Biosurgery's cash needs may differ from those planned, however, as a
result of many factors, including the:

    - results of research and development efforts;

    - ability to establish and maintain strategic alliance;

    - ability to enter into and maintain licensing arrangements and additional
      distributions arrangements;

    - ability to share costs of product development with research and marketing
      partners;

    - costs involved in enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property
      rights;

    - market acceptance of novel approaches and therapies;

    - success of its initiatives to reduce expenses and streamline its
      operations;

    - development of competitive products;

    - ability to satisfy regulatory requirements of the FDA and other
      governmental authorities; and

    - ability to sell its Snowden-Pencer-Registered Trademark- product lines and
      its manufacturing in Canada, as described below.

    In February 2001, Genzyme Biosurgery announced its intention to divest the
Snowden-Pencer-Registered Trademark- surgical instruments product lines. These
product lines include hand-held reusable instruments and endoscopic instruments
for general, plastic, gynecological and cardiovascular surgery. Genzyme
Biosurgery also announced in February its intention to terminate the production
of Synvisc-Registered Trademark- viscosupplementation product in Canada and to
sell its manufacturing facility in Ponte-Claire, Canada. We expect to complete
these transactions in the second half of 2001.

    Genzyme Biosurgery may require significant additional financing to continue
operations beyond 2001. We cannot guarantee that Genzyme Biosurgery will be able
to obtain any additional financing, extend any existing financing arrangement,
or accomplish either on terms that we consider favorable. If Genzyme Biosurgery
has insufficient funds or is unable to raise additional funds, it may delay,
scale back or eliminate certain of its programs. Genzyme Biosurgery may also
have to give third parties rights to commercialize technologies or products that
it would otherwise have sought to commercialize itself.

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

ACQUISITION OF FOCAL, INC.

    In April 2001, we signed a definitive merger agreement to acquire
Focal, Inc. Focal develops, manufactures and commercializes products based on a
proprietary polymer technology. We will allocate this acquisition to Genzyme
Biosurgery and will account for it using the purchase method of accounting. We
currently hold approximately 22% of the outstanding shares of Focal's common
stock and will acquire the remaining 78% in an exchange of shares of Biosurgery
Stock for shares of Focal common stock upon completion of the merger. Under the
terms of the merger agreement, Focal shareholders will receive 0.1545 of a share
of Biosurgery Stock for each share of Focal common stock they hold, except for
10,000 shares of Focal common stock that we have agreed to purchase for cash
from a Focal shareholder. Approximately 2.1 million shares of Biosurgery Stock
will be used as merger consideration. We expect the acquisition, which is
subject to the approval of Focal's shareholders, to close in the second or third
quarter of 2001. In anticipation of the merger, Focal agreed to modify certain
terms of the existing stock purchase agreement between the companies. This
agreement commits us, at Focal's option, to make future equity investments of up
to $5.0 million subject to certain conditions.

                                       64

                           GENZYME MOLECULAR ONCOLOGY
                       A DIVISION OF GENZYME CORPORATION

    At March 31, 2001, Genzyme Molecular Oncology had cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $23.0 million, a decrease of $7.1 million from
December 31, 2000.

    During the first three months of 2001, Genzyme Molecular Oncology used
$7.1 million in cash for operations. This is primarily due to Genzyme Molecular
Oncology's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001.

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology's investing activities in the first three months
of 2001 provided $7.8 million from the sales and maturities of investments.

    Financing activities provided cash of $0.2 million from stock issuances
attributable to our stock purchase program and the exercise of stock options.

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology, together with our other operating divisions, has
access to our $500.0 million revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2001,
$132.0 million was available under this facility.

    At March 31, 2001, $15.0 million of Genzyme General's cash remained
available to Genzyme Molecular Oncology under a $30.0 million interdivisional
financing arrangement with Genzyme General.

    We anticipate that Genzyme Molecular Oncology's current cash resources,
together with amounts available from the following sources, will be sufficient
to fund its operations through the third quarter of 2002:

    - anticipated revenues generated from license agreements;

    - committed research funding from collaborators;

    - the $15.0 million remaining under the interdivisional financing arragement
      with Genzyme General; and

    - amounts available to Genzyme Molecular Oncology under our revolving credit
      facilities.

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology plans to spend substantial amounts of funds on,
among other things:

    - research and development;

    - pre-clinical and clinical testing;

    - pursuing regulatory approvals; and

    - working capital.

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology's cash needs may differ from those planned,
however, as a result of of many factors, including the:

    - results of research and development and clinical testing;

    - achievement of milestones under existing licensing arrangements;

    - ability to establish and maintain additional strategic collaborations and
      licensing arrangements;

    - costs involved in enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property
      rights;

    - market acceptance of novel approaches and therapies;

    - development of competitive products and services; and

    - ability to satisfy regulatory requirements of the FDA and other government
      authorities.

                                       65

    Genzyme Molecular Oncology may require significant additional financing to
continue operations at anticipated levels. We cannot guarantee that it will be
able to obtain any additional financing, extend any existing financing
arrangement, or obtain either on terms that we consider favorable. If Genzyme
Molecular Oncology has insufficient funds or is unable to raise additional
funds, it may delay, reduce or eliminate some of its programs. Genzyme Molecular
Oncology may also have to give third parties rights to commercialize
technologies or products that it would otherwise have sought to commercialize
itself.

       adjustment, required under our charter, of the number of votes associated
       with a share of Molecular Oncology Stock and the number of votes
       associated with a share of Biosurgery Stock. As described therein, from
       January 1, 2001 through December 31, 2002, each share of Molecular
       Oncology Stock will entitle the holder to 0.14 vote, and each share of
       Biosurgery Stock will entitle the holder to 0.14 vote. Each share of
       Genzyme General Stock continues to entitle its holder to 1 vote.
