MYCOGEN CORPORATION BACKGROUND OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSACTION RATIONALE
* MARKET FORCES MAKE MYCOGEN STRATEGICALLY IMPORTANT TO DOW
* The intellectual property positions of agricultural biotechnology
businesses are well-established, possibly foreclosing the opportunity
for new entrants or greenfield initiatives
* Imminent success of first generation biotech products for corn and soy
will likely trigger high valuations, making future collaborations with
agrochemical companies far more expensive
* "Gene stacking" creates an urgency for agchem companies to find their
biotech partner quickly or risk being rendered obsolete by super seeds
that have performance characteristics that complement products of
competitors
* Dow has been slower than rivals Monsanto, DuPont and AgrEvo in
acquiring the technology it needs to compete in the promising market
for genetically engineered crops
* The heightened pace of alliances between agchem and biotech companies
(DuPont-Pioneer, American Home Products-Monsanto-Dekalb) makes it
imperative for Dow to strengthen its biotech capabilities
* MYCOGEN OFFERS DOW A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY
* Entry into the broader life science market
* High value-added biotech traits with freedom to operate
* Access to transformation technology
* Access to Ahlquist and Demeter technologies
* A credible seed platform
- Access to more than 20% of North American farm operations
- Modern production facilities with state of the art business systems
- Strong positions in Argentina and Brazil provide an opportunity to
bundle traits and more effectively compete with Monsanto

OUTLOOK FOR CONVENTIONAL SEED BUSINESS
"...[MYCOGEN'S SEED BUSINESS] SMALL SIZE IS A DETRIMENT, ... HIGH SEED
DISCARD AND OBSOLESCENCE CHARGES AND A HIGHER COST BASE... WE BELIEVE
INCREASING THE SIZE OF THE MYCOGEN SEED EFFORT IS KEY ...HOWEVER...WE
QUESTION WHETHER THE COMPANY WILL BE ABLE TO FIND SEED OPERATORS OF
SUFFICIENT SIZE AND QUALITY."
Furman Selz, March 13, 1998
WP&Co. Observations:
* Mycogen, over the past three years has increased its presence on the N.
American corn farmers fields by nearly four-fold.
* Mycogen is uniquely positioned to pursue the opportunities to build a
franchise in the large and growing Latin American market for major row
crops. Further, while the size and scope of Mycogen's breeding
programs are much smaller than largest germplasm suppliers, less
overlap within Mycogen product lines allows keeping a closer
relationship of proprietary lines to competition. Mycogen'network of
11 breeding stations provides adequate diversity of yield, maturity and
disease resistance characteristics.
* Side-by-side comparisons of Mycogen hybrids show per acre yields
approaching leading competitors.
* Program appears effective, but subject to execution risk of producing
adequate seed inventory within time, cost and quality constraints. Too
early to judge efficiency of winter nursery exchange between US/Europe
and PR/ S. America. Investments in new equipment (combines, tractors,
dryers) and software (SAP/R3) enhance probability of success.

Bt DEPENDENCY
"...THE RAPIDLY GROWING ACREAGE OF CORN, COTTON AND POTATOES THAT ARE
GENETICALLY ENGINEERED TO PRODUCE Bt...HIGHLIGHTS FEARS ABOUT EMERGING INSECT
RESISTANCE. GENETICALLY ENGINEERED Bt CROPS PROVIDE EXPOSURE TO THE TOXINS
THROUGHOUT THE GROWING SEASON, LEADING TO SELECTION PRESSURES THAT MIGHT
ENABLE ONLY RESISTANT PESTS TO SURVIVE."
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, May 1998
WP&Co. Observations:
* Mycogen first company to recognize insect-specific bioactivity of Bt's.
Portfolio of -50 Bt genes equal to next four competitors combined.
* Array of Bt's provides access to multipe products for specific
pest/crop situations. Pest specific products may change the threshold
for insect control and justify significant increases in treated acreage.
* Cross resistance unlikely since Bt protein structurally diverse; unique
3D configurations form very specific associations with cellular
constituents.
* Rotation between different Bt's remove selection pressure for resistant
pest; fitness requirement restores susceptibility. Toxin cycling
"evergreens" product line.
* Bt toxins have been characterized by Mycogen researchers as having
specific activity against a wide range of coleopteran, lepidopteran,
and even nematode pests making the Bt technology valuable against a
broad host of crop applications.
* Near to medium term competition to Bt's looks problematic since these
proteins are well characterized with a good understanding of the
functional genetics and expression. By comparison, novel toxins face
an 8-10 year regulatory and scientific timeline for commercialization.

MYCOGEN CORPORATION VALUATION: REVIEW OF ANALYST PERSPECTIVES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bt DEPENDENCY (CONTINUED)
- Program appears logical and defensible, but suffers from execution risk:
Manpower commitments for developing novel transgenics are quite modest
at both Pioneer and at Mycogen and there appears to be little effort
underway to stack Bt genes in multiple trait products: Mycogen
currently markets a single Bt cultivar and no second generation Bt
product is projected to be available prior to 2001.
- While emphasizing the development of Bt-based plant products, Mycogen has
created a sizable array of promoters, expression systems, and experience
relevant to expression of any transgene in plants. This competency in
regulating exogenous gene expression would be valuable to any other
research program as it nears commercialization (e.g. Ahlquist
Technology). Clearly, it is of value to any competitor desiring to
shorten time to market of its own products as illustrated by Monsanto's
repeated requests to gain access to Mycogen's proprietary Ub-1 promoter.
WASSERSTEIN PERELLA & CO.

MYCOGEN CORPORATION VALUATION: REVIEW OF ANALYST PERSPECTIVES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIFFUSE NATURE OF R & D PROGRAM
Mycogen has significant commitments to six distinct R & D efforts:
Input traits Oral immunity
Output traits Ahlquist technology
Disease resistance fermentation
WP&Co. Observations:
- Large multinationals with enormous financial resources have generally
prioritized around a single program:
Monsanto/input
DuPont/output
Zeneca/disease resistance
- Agbiotech competition may rapidly transition from critical mass to
scale, isolating Mycogen's modest efforts.
- Technological developments may leapfrog Mycogen's position and render
its intellectual property obsolescent. Genechip systems, combinatorial
chemistry and high throughput screening have already proven their
utility in human drug development. These technologies can likely be
adapted for agbiotech applications:
- Use DNA microarrays for "directed evolution"
- Use retroviral vectors to immortalize insect gut cells as the basis
for a high volume assay.

POTENTIAL BUSINESS STRATEGIES
OPTION I
I. NEGOTIATE A FAIR PRICE FOR THE SALE OF ALL OUTSTANDING SHARES TO DOW
Benefits:
---------
-- Provides cash payment at attractive share price
-- Eliminates barriers to full cooperation associated with maintaining
two separate public companies
-- Resources of the combined company would be better able to realize
Mycogen's goal of becoming a leading fully integrated developer,
manufacturer and marketer of products used to control pests and
improve food production
Issues:
---------
-- Cash offer eliminates opportunity to participate fully in potential
future up-side

POTENTIAL BUSINESS STRATEGIES
OPTION II
II. IF UNABLE TO REACH AGREEMENT ON PRICE, NEGOTIATE A SUBSTANTIAL
REDUCTION IN DOW'S MYCOGEN SHAREHOLDINGS.
Example:
---------
As a major agchem company, Dow's business interests have led Mycogen to
focus on product development for row crops such as corn, soybeans, and
possibly cotton. These hypercompetitive sectors are not areas which
Mycogen would target as an independent entity. Therefore it may be
possible for Mycogen to redeem a substantial portion of Dow's
shareholdings in the Company for a transfer to Dow of its corn and
soybean (and possibly cotton) conventional seed and assorted biotech
trait capabilities.
Benefits:
---------
-- If a buyout not possible, then an asset separation is preferable to a
continuation of status-quo
-- Grants Mycogen freedom to develop its own strategy and to pursue a
broader array of external collaborations.
-- Allows Dow to capture full ownership of its most desired Mycogen
assets with no further cash outlay
-- Patent defense litigation expenses follow seed assets to Dow.
Issues:
---------
-- Taxable transaction for Mycogen with potentially significant
liability for capital gains.
-- Dow unlikely to fully exit and residual shareholding (probably ~
20%) may discourage new investments from other strategic partners.
-- Niche strategy for Mycogen implies distant profit outlook. Priority
focus on row crops has delayed innovation efforts in other agro
sectors. WP&Co. model shows relatively low NPV for Mycogen peanut,
sunflower, vegetable and cereal applications.
-- Segregation of new crop assets (i.e., breeding stations, trait
development, etc.) may be problematic.
-- Requires simultaneous recapitalization of Company to finance its
long term growth. Issue of new shares at attractive value in
secondary offering should be possible given ongoing public interest
in agbiotech.

OPTION III
III. IF DOW IS UNWILLING TO SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE ITS SHAREHOLDING IN MYCOGEN,
SECURE A THIRD PARTY INVESTMENT IN MYCOGEN WHICH BRINGS COMPLEMENTARY
TECHNOLOGY AND NON-COMPETITIVE BUSINESS INTERESTS TO DOW.
Example:
--------
-- Although supported by Dow Agro Sciences, the primary initiative for
Dow's buyout of Mycogen's public shareholders appears to be coming
from Dow corporate offices in Midland, Michigan. Dow Corporate's
interests in agbiotech may be driven by industrial feedstock
applications with crop protection and crop quality enhancements seen
as secondary benefits. As a result, it may be possible to find a
complimentary strategic partner who is focused on the crop aspects of
agbiotech but who also has assets or intellectual property which
could accelerate or improve the probability of success of agbiotech
in industrial applications.
-- One possible scenario is for the third party -- after extensive
negotiations with Dow and Mycogen -- to tender for the remaining
public shares of Mycogen and in a subsequent step to:
i) Merge a complimentary agbiotech asset into Mycogen for newly
issued shares; or
ii) Swap a complimentary agbiotech asset with Dow for a portion of
its shareholdings.

POTENTIAL BUSINESS STRATEGIES
OPTION III (CONT'D)
In either case, Dow's position is diluted to a 50% level and Mycogen
becomes a joint venture vehicle between two multinational companies.
The target ownership levels can be readily achieved by adjusting the
value of the third party asset which is contributed with cash or
debt. Among the possible candidates for this strategy include Zeneca
or Novartis where the contributed asset would likely be the seed
activities of either company.
Benefits:
---------
-- Expands the scope of Mycogen's technology base and enhances
competitiveness of overall effort in light of recent industry
consolidation.
-- Introduction of new entity into the situation may allow Mycogen to
realize full third party sale value for remaining public shares.
Issues:
-------
-- Third parties may be reluctant to invest resources in negotiating a
deal if they perceive situation as mere stalking horse for Dow buyout
bid.

OPTION IV
IV. IN THE EVENT OF A DEADLOCK, DEVELOP AND EXPEDITIOUSLY IMPLEMENT A
COMPREHENSIVE, LONG-TERM FINANCING PLAN FOR THE COMPANY.
Example:
--------
-- Given existing Dow proposal, current Mycogen share price and
preliminary WP & Co. valuation, value gap looks substantial and
stand-off a reasonable possibility. In recent past, the Company has
deferred developing any long-term financial plan due to Dow support
and influence. With any deadlock, there is a prospect for a reduction
in Dow contributions as well as a need for expanded funding by
Company to accelerate its own initiatives. Mycogen's weak balance
sheet and operating exposure to uncontrollable variables strongly
suggest a need for contingency plans.
Benefits:
---------
-- Credible back-up plan can provide useful leverage in Dow negotiations.
-- Rapid rate of agbiotech developments: M & A, litigation, '98 growing
season results, scientific discoveries, etc., may trigger sudden shift
in Dow strategy.
-- Sale of Verneuil minority interest and possible factoring of Monsanto
settlement can yield significant cash in relatively short time frame.
Issues:
-------
-- The ultimate solution requires an equity offering by the Company and
given the current investor focus on the sector it would be prudent to
go to market as soon as possible. Although WP & Co can formulate a
specific equity plan, it will be difficult to begin even preliminary
implementation without a resolution of the Dow situation.
