                   GENZYME TRANSGENICS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                 NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
                                      STATEMENTS
                                           

1.  Basis of Presentation:
    ---------------------

    These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read
    in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal
    year ended December 29, 1996 and the financial statements and footnotes
    included therein.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
    included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
    accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to
    Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations.

    Per share information is based upon the weighted average number of shares
    of Common Stock outstanding during the period.

    The financial statements for the nine months ended September 28, 1997 and
    September 29, 1996 are unaudited but include, in the Company's opinion, all
    adjustments (consisting only of normally recurring accruals) necessary for
    a fair presentation of the results for the periods presented.

2.  Accounting Policies:
    -------------------

    The accounting policies underlying the quarterly financial statements are
    those set forth in Note 2 of the financial statements included in the
    Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 1996.
    
3.  Joint Venture:
    -------------

    In February 1997, the Company reached an agreement with a joint venture
    formed by the Company and Sumitomo Metal Industries, Ltd. (the "Joint
    Venture") entitling the Company to receive up to $4.4 million in future
    milestone payments for the development of Antithrombin III ("AT-III").  In
    1997, the Company earned $1.4 million in the first quarter and $1 million
    in the second quarter in milestone payments under the agreement.  In March
    1997, the Joint Venture partners agreed to raise $2.4 million in additional
    equity, of which the Company contributed $528,000 in April 1997 to maintain
    its 22% ownership.

4.  AT-III Joint Venture with Genzyme:
    ---------------------------------

    In March 1997, the Company amended its Convertible Debt and Development
    Funding Agreement (the "Development Funding Agreement") dated March 29,
    1996 with Genzyme to provide for continued funding by Genzyme of the
    development costs of the AT-III program through June 30, 1997.  In June
    1997, the Company agreed to extend the Agreement until December 31, 1997. 
    Under the extension agreement, Genzyme agreed to provide $7 million in
    development funding in 1997.





    In July 1997, the Company and Genzyme announced an agreement to establish a
    joint venture for the development, marketing and distribution of AT-III,
    subject to the execution of a definitive agreement.  Under the terms of the
    agreement, Genzyme will provide 70 percent of the development costs, up to
    a maximum contribution of $33 million, and the Company will fund the
    remaining 30%.  Development costs in excess of $33 million will be funded
    equally by the partners.  In addition to the funding, both partners will
    contribute manufacturing, marketing and other resources to the joint
    venture at cost and will share profits from product sales equally.  The
    agreement covers all territories other than Asia and may include milestone
    payments from Genzyme to the Company after the product has been approved by
    the United States Food and Drug Administration.


5.  Pharming Litigation:
    -------------------

    In April 1997, the Company reached an agreement to settle its arbitration
    with Pharming B.V., a Netherlands corporation, in connection with a license
    agreement between the two parties.  The terms of the agreement include a
    stipulation dismissing all claims submitted in the arbitration proceedings
    and a clarification of certain terms of the license agreement.

6.  Mason Debt Financing:
    --------------------

    In June 1997, the Company completed financing for the expansion of its
    Mason Laboratories facility.  The financing package provides $5 million in
    available funds from a consortium of federal, state and local government
    agencies in conjunction with a commercial bank.  The loan carries a 10-year
    amortization schedule with a variable interest rate adjusted annually.  The
    current rate is 9.25%.  The Company utilized $3.8 million of the line in
    June to fund the initial phase of renovations and to refinance
    approximately $800,000 of existing mortgage debt on the facility.  The
    remaining $1.2 million is available through December 31, 1998 for
    additional renovations of the facility, if any.

7.  Redfield Debt Financing:
    -----------------------

    In June 1997, the Company's Redfield Laboratories subsidiary obtained 
    $1,050,000 in financing from a commercial bank in conjunction with a state
    government agency for the refinancing of approximately $750,000 in existing
    mortgage debt and to fund expansion of its facility.  The financing consists
    of two notes, both at 10% annual interest.  The first note, in the amount of
    $350,000, has a 10-year term.  The second note, in the amount of $750,000,
    has a 10-year amortization with a balloon payment due in May 1998.  The
    annual balloon requirement is intended to be refinanced each year.

    In July 1997, Redfield Laboratories obtained an additional $350,000 in
    financing for the expansion of its facility from a combination of federal,
    state and county government agencies.  The loan is amortized over 15-year
    term and carries an interest rate of 5.5%.





8.  Amended Convertible Debt Agreement:
    ----------------------------------

    In September 1997, the Company and Genzyme amended the terms of the $8.3
    million credit line provided by Genzyme to the Company as part of the
    Development Funding Agreement (see Note 4).   Under the Amended and
    Restated Convertible  Debt Agreement, the expiration date of the  revolving
    credit line was extended to March 31, 2000, with an option, at that date,
    for the Company to convert the outstanding balance to a three-year term
    loan.  The interest rate remains at 7% through April 1, 1998, increasing
    annually through the end of the term loan; starting at the lower of 8% or
    the prime lending rate in the first year increasing to the lower of 10% or
    the prime lending rate plus 2% in the final year of the term loan. 
    Financial covenants require positive quarterly earnings before interest,
    taxes, depreciation, amortization and unfunded research and development
    expense starting April 1, 1998.

    Any amounts outstanding under the credit line may be converted into the
    Company's common stock at Genzyme's option at any time for up to the full
    amount outstanding or at the Company's option on a quarterly basis limited
    to an amount sufficient to maintain a minimum tangible net worth.  All such
    conversions are to be based on the average closing stock price over 20
    trading days prior to conversion.

    No amounts were outstanding under this credit line at September 28, 1997.





                  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                         CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                           
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Three months ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996

Total revenues for the three-month period ending September 28, 1997 were 
$14.7 million, compared with $12.5 million in the comparable period of 1996, 
an increase of $2.2 million or 18%. Service revenues increased to $10.4 
million in the third quarter of 1997 from $9.9 million in the third quarter 
of 1996, an increase of $506,000 or 5%.  Research and development revenue 
increased to $4.4 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $2.6 million in 
the third quarter of 1996, an increase of $1.8 million or 68%, due primarily 
to an increase in activity and revenues related to the funding received from 
Genzyme Corporation ("Genzyme") for the development of the lead compound, 
transgenic antithrombin III ("AT-III"), the achievement of a $1.5 million 
milestone from Bristol-Meyers Squibb related to the BR96 collaboration and 
increased commercial activity.

Cost of services for the third quarter of 1997 was $8.9 million compared to 
$8.6 million in the comparable period of 1996, an increase of $290,000 or 3%, 
due to the increase in service revenues.  Research and development expenses 
increased to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 1997 from $2.3 million in 
the third quarter of 1996, an increase of $2.2 million or 99%.  The increase 
is due to the operating costs of a manufacturing facility coming on-line for 
the production of AT-III clinical trial material and increased activity in 
the research and commercial programs.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1997 amounted to $1.4 million versus 
$1.6 million in the third quarter of 1996. Gross profit on services for the 
third quarter of 1997 was $1.5 million, a gross margin of 14%, versus $1.3 
million, a gross margin of 13%, in the third quarter of 1996.  The 
improvement in services margins was primarily due to increased services 
revenues.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $3.7 
million in the third quarter of 1997 from $2.7 million in the third quarter 
of 1996, an increase of $914,000 or 33%.  The increase is due to an increase 
in the sales and marketing effort and to the addition of administrative 
personnel required to support the growth in research and development programs.

Interest income decreased to $20,000 in the third quarter of 1997, from 
$26,000 in the third quarter of 1996, due to the decrease in funds available 
for investment from the Company's secondary public offering in August 1996. 
Interest expense increased to $316,000 in the third quarter of 1997 from 
$238,000 in the third quarter of 1996 due to increased borrowings in the 
third quarter of 1997 versus the comparable period in 1996. 





The Company recognized no Joint Venture losses during the third quarter of 
1997 compared to $50,000 in the comparable period of 1996. The decrease was 
due to the fact that there was no additional research funding provided by  
the Joint Venture in the third quarter of 1997.

Nine months ended September 28, 1997 and September 29, 1996

Total revenues for the nine-month period ending September 28, 1997 were $45.3 
million, compared with $34.2 million in the comparable period of 1996, an 
increase of $11.1 million or 32%. Service revenues increased to $32.9 million 
during the first nine months of 1997 from $28 million in the comparable 
period of 1996, an increase of $4.9 million or 17%.  Research and development 
revenues increased to $12.4 million during the first nine months of 1997 from 
$6.1 million in the comparable period of 1996, an increase of $6.3 million or 
101%, due primarily to an increase in activity and revenues related to the 
funding received from Genzyme in the development of AT-III, the achievement 
of $2.4 million in milestones from the Joint Venture, the achievement of a 
$1.5 million milestone from Bristol-Meyers Squibb related to the BR96 
collaboration and increased commercial activity.

Cost of services during the first nine months of 1997 was $27.6 million 
compared to $24.4 million in the comparable period of 1996, an increase of 
$3.2 million or 13%, due, primarily, to the increased service revenues.  
Research and development expenses increased to $11.6 million during the first 
nine months of 1997 from $6.4 million in the comparable period of 1996, an 
increase of $5.2 million or 82%.  The increase is due to the operating costs 
of a manufacturing facility coming on-line for the production of AT-III 
clinical trial material and increased activity in the research and commercial 
programs.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 1997 amounted to $6.1 million 
versus $3.4 million in the comparable period of 1996. Gross profit on 
services for the first nine months of 1997 was $5.3 million, a gross margin 
of 16%, versus $3.7 million, a gross margin of 13%, in the comparable period 
of 1996.  The improvement in the services margins was primarily due to 
increased services revenues and a shift to higher margin services.

Selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expenses increased to $10.8 million
in the third quarter of 1997 from $8.2 million in the comparable period of 1996,
an increase of $2.6 million or 32%. The increase is due to an increase in the
sales and marketing effort and to the addition of administrative personnel
required to support the growth in research and development programs.

Interest income increased to $112,000 in the first nine months of 1997, from 
$37,000 in the comparable period of 1996, due to the investment of funds from 
the Company's secondary public offering and receipt of interest on funds that 
were held in escrow last year.  Interest expense decreased to $733,000 in the 
first nine months of 1997 from $911,000 in the comparable period of 1996 due 
to lower borrowings in 1997. 





The Company recognized $531,000 of Joint Venture losses during the first nine 
months of 1997 compared to $184,000 in the comparable period of 1996.  The 
increase was due to additional research by  the Joint Venture including 
increased research funding to the Company (see Note 3 to the Financial 
Statements appearing in this Report).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $5.3 million at September 28, 
1997. During the first nine months of 1997 the Company had a $3.5 million net 
decrease in cash; $6 million was invested in capital equipment, further 
expansion of the transgenic production facility and the expansion of 
laboratory facilities and $3.1 million was used to pay down long-term debt.  
Sources of funds during the period included $257,000 of cash provided by 
operations (due primarily to a decrease in non-cash working capital of $2.5 
million and $3.6 million of non-cash charges offset by the net loss of $5.8 
million), $5.2 million of proceeds from issuance long-term debt and $1.3 
million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

In June 1997, the Company completed a $3 million expansion of its Mason 
Laboratories facility.  The Company obtained $5 million in long-term 
financing for this project from a consortium consisting of state and local 
government agencies in conjunction with a commercial bank.  In June 1997, the 
Company received approximately $3.8 million in funds under this facility, of 
which approximately $800,000 was used to pay down existing debt.  In 
connection with the financing, the Company issued 20,000 warrants at the 
closing market value on June 26, 1997 of $8.75.  The remaining $1.2 million 
of financing is available through December 31, 1998 to fund future 
renovations of this facility, if any (see Note 6).

In September 1997, the Company and Genzyme amended the terms of the $8.3 
million credit line provided by Genzyme to the Company as part of the 
Convertible Debt and Development Funding Agreement dated March 29, 1996.  
Under the terms of the Amended and Restated Convertible Debt Agreement 
("Genzyme Convertible Debt Agreement"), the expiration date of the revolving 
credit line was extended to March 31, 2000 with an option , at that date, for 
the Company to convert the outstanding balance to a three-year term loan.  
There was no balance outstanding as of September 28, 1997 (see Note 8).

In September 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Advanced Cell 
Technology ("ACT") to utilize ACT's cloning technology to produce transgenic 
proteins.  In return for exclusive access to this technology and subject to 
successful achievement of technical milestones, the Company agreed to place a 
minimum of $2 million in contract services with ACT annually from 1998 
through 2002.

The Company had a working capital deficit of $6.4 million at September 28, 
1997 compared to a deficit of $116,000 at December 29, 1996.  The Company 
expects to continue  to operate with negative working capital for the 
foreseeable future. As of September 28, 1997 the Company had approximately 
$8.3 million available under the Genzyme Convertible Debt Agreement, $1.8 
million available under various capital lease lines and $1.2 million 
available under the Mason facility financing.  





The Company is considering various alternative financing strategies, such as 
collaborative arrangements, public or private sales of its securities, 
including securities in certain subsidiaries, additional mortgage or lease 
financing, asset sales and other funding sources.  The Company expects to 
realize sufficient cash from one or more of such transactions to fund 
operations and capital investment through September 29, 1998.

Management's current expectations regarding the sufficiency of the Company's 
cash resources are forward-looking statements and the Company's cash 
requirements may vary materially from such expectations.  Such 
forward-looking statements are dependent on several factors, including the 
results of the Company's testing services business, the ability of the 
Company to enter into any transgenic research and development collaborations 
in the future and the terms of such collaborations, the results of research 
and development and preclinical and clinical testing, competitive and 
technological advances and regulatory requirements.  If the Company 
experiences increased losses, the Company may have to seek additional 
financing through collaborative arrangements or from public or private sales 
of its securities, including equity securities. There can be no assurance 
that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to the Company, 
if at all.  If additional financing cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, 
to continue its operations the Company could be forced to delay, scale back 
or eliminate certain of its research and development programs or to enter 
into license agreements with third parties for the commercialization of 
technologies or products that the Company would otherwise undertake itself.
