NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying, unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered
necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Results of operations
for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire fiscal year
ended December 31, 1996.

For further information, refer to the audited financial statements and
footnotes thereto as of December 31, 1995 included in the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders and the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company
and Modex Therapeutiques SA, a 50% owned subsidiary. Significant
intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

NOTE 3. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares
of common stock outstanding. Common equivalent shares from stock options
and warrants are excluded as their effect is antidilutive.

NOTE 4. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

Assets and liabilities of operations outside the United States are
translated into United States dollars using current exchange rates; revenue
and expense items are translated into United States dollars using a
weighted average exchange rate for the period. The gains and losses
resulting from such translation are accumulated as a separate component of
shareholders' equity, whereas gains and losses resulting from foreign
currency transactions generally are included in results of operations.
7
NOTE 5. ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
("SFAS 121"), Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of, which requires impairment losses to be
recorded on the long-lived assets used in operations when indicators of
impairment are present and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be
generated by those assets are less than the assets' carrying amount. SFAS
121 also addresses the accounting for long-lived assets that are expected
to be disposed of. The adoption of SFAS 121 had no impact on the financial
position or results of operations of the Company as no indicators of
impairment currently exist.

The Company has adopted the disclosure provisions of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 ("SFAS 123"), Accounting and Disclosure of Stock-Based
Compensation. The Company will continue to account for its stock-based
compensation arrangements under the provisions of APB 25, Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees.

NOTE 6. FORMATION OF SUBSIDIARY

On July 10, 1996, The Company participated in the establishment of Modex
Therapeutiques SA, "Modex", as a 50% owned subsidiary to pursue extensions
of the Company's encapsulated-cell technology for applications outside the
central nervous system. Modex is headquartered in Lausanne, Switerland.

In exchange for a 50% stake in Modex, the Company has invested $2 million
in Modex, with a commitment to invest an additional $2 million on the
second anniversary of the agreement if Modex has, prior to that time,
achieved one of more specified scientific milestones. An investment fund,
managed by a Swiss private bank, has invested $2 million in Modex, with a
commitment to invest an additional $1 million on the second anniversary of
the agreement, in exchange for a 15% stake in the company. The remaining
35% of Modex is owned by the scientific founders of Modex.

The Company has granted to Modex an exclusive, royalty-bearing license to
the Company's proprietary encapsulated-cell technology for three
applications outside the central nervous system; diabetes, obesity and
anemia. Modex granted the Company an exclusive royalty-bearing license to
any technology developed or obtained by Modex for application to diseases,
conditions and disorders which affect the central nervous system. In
addition to its royalty obligations, the Company is also obligated to issue
to Modex up to 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the
achievement by Modex of certain scientific milestones. Substantially all of
these shares are expected to be awarded by Modex as incentive compensation
of Modex' founding scientists and other researchers upon the achievement of
such milestones.

Under the terms of its agreement with the investment fund, during the first
two years following closing, the Company has the right to acquire the
fund's interest in Modex for the greater of a 30% annual return or $3
million. Following this two year period, the Company has the right to
purchase the fund's interest at 110% of fair market value.
8
Following the second anniversary of the agreement and prior to the tenth
anniversary of the agreement, if no public market exists for the Common Stock of
Modex, the fund has the right to require the Company to purchase the fund's
interest in Modex for 90% of the fair market value of such interest. Any
purchase made by the Company under any of the circumstances described in this
paragraph may be made at the Company's option in cash or shares of the Company's
Common Stock valued at the market price at the time of purchase. The Company
also has the right to acquire, and the founders have the right to require the
Company to acquire, the founders' initial equity interest in Modex in exchange
for the issuance of an aggregate of approximately 92,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.

PART I - ITEM 2

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

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations
of the Company for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995
should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes thereto.

This report may contain certain forward-looking statements regarding, among
other things, the Company's results of operations, the progress of the
Company's product development programs, the Company's need for, and required
timing of, additional capital, capital expenditures and need for additional
facilities. The Company's actual results may vary materially from those
contained in such forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Factors Relevant
to Forward-Looking-Information" filed herewith as Exhibit 99 and incorporated
herein by reference.

OVERVIEW

Since its inception in 1988, the Company has been primarily engaged in research
and development of human therapeutic products. No revenues have been derived
from the sale of any products, and the Company does not expect to receive
revenues from product sales for at least several years. The Company expects
that its research and development expenditures will increase substantially in
future years as research and product development efforts accelerate and
clinical trials are broadened or initiated. The Company has incurred annual
operating losses since inception and expects to incur substantial operating
losses in the future. As a result, the Company is dependent upon external
financing from equity and debt offerings and revenues from collaborative
research arrangements with corporate sponsors to finance its operations. The
Company's results of operations have varied significantly from period to period
and may vary significantly in the future due to the occurrence of material,
nonrecurring events, including without limitation, the receipt of one-time,
nonrecurring licensing payments. Results may vary from quarter to quarter and
results of one quarter may not be representative of the actual results for
the year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

For the quarter ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, revenues from collaborative
agreements totaled $1,791,000 and $1,986,000, respectively. The revenues were
earned solely from a Development, Marketing and License Agreement with Astra AB,
which was signed in March 1995.
10
Research and development expenses totaled $4,205,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with $3,730,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increase of $475,000, or 13%, from 1995 to 1996 is principally due to increases
in the number of scientists and increased spending for company sponsored
research at academic and other institutions.

General and administrative expenses were $1,611,000 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with $1,035,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increase of $576,000, or 56%, from 1995 to 1996 was primarily attributable to
increases in spending for administrative salaries, one time hiring bonuses, as
well as, consulting costs attributable to the establishment of Modex
Therapeutiques SA, a 50% owned Swiss subsidiary.

Interest income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$526,000 and $407,000, respectively. The increase in interest income in 1996 is
attributable to the higher average balances, $37,463,000 and $26,810,000 in the
third quarter of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Interest expense was $163,000 for the three months ended September 30, 1996,
compared with $151,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase from 1996 to
1995 was attributable to additional collateralized loan obligations recorded in
connection with equipment financings offset, in part, by decreasing balances of
existing capitalized leases obligations.

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was $3,608,000, or $0.23
per share, as compared to net loss of $2,523,000, or $0.19 per share, for the
comparable period in 1995.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 AND 1995

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, revenues from
collaborative agreements totaled $5,306,000 and $9,845,000, respectively. The
revenues were earned solely from a Development, Marketing and License Agreement
with Astra AB, which was signed in March 1995. Included in the 1995 revenues
was a non-refundable, one-time payment from Astra totaling $5,000,000.

Research and development expenses totaled $12,286,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with $10,734,000 for the same period in 1995. The
increase of $1,552,000, or 14%, from 1995 to 1996 is principally due to
increases in the number of scientists and associated supplies, increased
spending for company sponsored research at academic and other institutions,
scientific consulting and clinical trials.

General and administrative expenses were $4,018,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996, compared with $3,252,000 for the same period in 1995. The
11
increase of $766,000, or 24%, from 1995 to 1996 was primarily attributable to
increases in patent related expenses, spending for administrative salaries, one
time hiring bonuses, as well as, consulting costs attributable to the
establishment of Modex Therapeutiques SA, a 50% owned Swiss subsidiary.

Other income in the amount of $397,000 consists primarily of funds received in
May 1996 for settlement of a legal suit filed on behalf of the Company.

Interest income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 was
$1,733,000 and $1,051,000, respectively. The increase in interest income in
1996 is primarily attributable to the higher average balances, $39,505,000 and
$21,701,000 for the first nine months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.

Interest expense was $467,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996,
compared with $440,000 for the same period in 1995. The increase from 1995 to
1996 was attributable to additional collateralized loan obligations recorded in
connection with equipment financings offset, in part, by decreasing balances of
existing capitalized leases obligations.

Net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $9,336,000 or $0.61
per share, as compared to net loss of $3,531,000, or $0.29 per share, for the
comparable period in 1995. The initial one-time payment of $5,000,000 from
Astra is principally responsible for the Company's decreased loss in the first
six months of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Since its inception, the Company has financed its operations through the sale
of common and preferred stock, the issuance of long-term debt and capitalized
lease obligations, revenues from collaborative agreements, research grants and
interest income.

The Company has unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities
totaling $35,617,000 at September 30, 1996. Cash equivalents and marketable
securities are invested in agencies of the U.S. government, investment grade
corporate notes, time deposits and money market funds.

In May 1996, the Company secured an equipment loan facility with a bank in the
amount of $2,000,000. The Company has borrowed $741,000 under this agreement as
of September 30, 1996. The loan requires interest payments only for the first
year, principal payments are payable over a three-year period beginning May
1997. Any unused commitment expires on May 15, 1997. The loan is secured by
equipment purchased with the proceeds of the credit facility.

The Company currently occupies all of its laboratory and administrative office
space, other than that at its pilot manufacturing site, under the terms of
operating leases subject to termination upon nine months notice by the Company.
As a result
12
of an anticipated increase in the number of employees, the Company's current
facilities will not be sufficient to accommodate the Company's needs past the
first half of 1997. The Company has purchased land and a building and will
begin construction of a new headquarters and laboratory facility in the fourth
quarter. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $7,600,000.

In October 1996, the Company obtained financing of $5,500,000 from a bank,
secured by a mortgage on the new facility. No funds have been borrowed under
this agreement as of September 30, 1996. Any unused commitment expires October
31, 1997. Quarterly principal payments of 1/40 of the loan obligation commence
September 30, 1997 with the balance due at maturity, October 2001. The loan
agreement requires the Company provide cash collateral in the amount of 25% of
the obligation if the Company's unencumbered cash balance falls below
$25,000,000, 50% cash collateral if the Company's unencumbered cash balance
falls below $20,000,000 and full cash collateral if the Company's unencumbered
cash balance falls below $15,000,000.

In July 1996, the Company invested $2 million in Modex, a 50% owned Swiss
subsidiary, to pursue extensions of the Company's encapsulated-cell technology
for applications outside the central nervous system, with a commitment to
invest an additional $2 million on the second anniversary of the agreement if
Modex has, prior to that time, achieved one or more specified scientific
milestones. An investment fund, managed by a Swiss private bank, has invested
$2 million in Modex, with a commitment to invest an additional $1 million on
the second anniversary of the agreement, in exchange for a 15% stake in the
company. The remaining 35% of Modex is owned by the scientific founders of
Modex. The Company has granted to Modex an exclusive, royalty-bearing license
to the Company's proprietary encapsulated-cell technology for three
applications outside the central nervous system: diabetes, obesity and anemia.
Modex granted the Company an exclusive royalty-bearing license to any
technology developed or obtained by Modex for application to diseases,
conditions and disorders which affect the central nervous system. In addition
to its royalty obligations, the Company is also obligated to issue to Modex up
to 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock on the achievement by Modex of
certain scientific milestones. Substantially all of these shares are expected
to be awarded by Modex as incentive compensation to Modex' founding scientists
and other researchers upon achievement of such milestones.

Under the terms of its agreement with the investment fund, during the first two
years following closing, the Company has the right to acquire the fund's
interest in Modex for the greater of a 30% annual return or $3 million.
Following this two year period, the Company has the right to purchase the fund's
interest at 110% of fair market value. Following the second anniversary of the
agreement and prior to the tenth anniversary of the agreement, if no public
market exists for the common stock of Modex, the fund has the right to require
the Company to purchase the fund's interest in Modex for 90% of the
13
fair market value of such interest. Any purchase made by the Company under any
of the circumstances described in this paragraph may be made at the Company's
option in cash or shares of the Company's Common Stock valued at the market
price at the time of purchase. The Company also has the right to acquire, and
the founders have the right to require the Company to acquire, the founders'
initial equity interest in Modex in exchange for the issuance of an aggregate
of approximately 92,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

In March 1995, the Company signed a collaborative research and development
agreement with Astra for the development and marketing of certain
encapsulated-cell products to treat pain. Astra made an initial, nonrefundable
payment of $5,000,000 and may make up to $16,000,000 in additional payments
subject to the achievement of certain development milestones. Under the
agreement, the Company is obligated to conduct certain research and development
pursuant to a four-year research plan agreed upon by the parties. Over the term
of the agreement, the Company expects to receive annual research payments from
Astra of $5 million to $7 million, which the Company expects should approximate
the research and development costs incurred by the Company under the plan.
Subject to the successful development of such products and obtaining necessary
regulatory approvals, Astra is obligated to conduct all clinical trials of
products arising from the collaboration and to seek approval for their sale and
use. Astra has the exclusive worldwide right to market products covered by the
agreement. Until the later of either the last to expire of all patents included
in the licensed technology or a specified fixed term, the Company is entitled
to a royalty on the worldwide net sales of such products in return for the
license granted to Astra and the Company's obligation to manufacture and supply
products. Astra has the right to terminate the agreement after April 1, 1998.

In March 1994, the Company entered into a Development Collaboration and License
Agreement with Genentech, Inc. relating to the development of products for the
encapsulation of certain neurotrophic factors. The initial focus of the
collaboration has been the development of encapsulated NGF-producing cells for
the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In addition to NGF, the agreement also
covers the neurotrophic factors NT-3, NT-4/5 and two other neurotrophic factors
to be chosen by Genentech. The agreement provides that Genentech and the
Company will work exclusively with each other to develop and commercialize
NGF-producing encapsulated-cell products; that Genentech will not work with any
third party in the field of the treatment of neurological disease by the
administration of encapsulated neurotrophic factor-producing mammalian cells,
without the Company's consent; and that the Company will not work with the
neurotrophic factors NGF, NT-3 and NT-4/5 with any third party, without
Genentech's consent. Under the Agreement, the Company granted to Genentech an
exclusive license to use any of the company's existing and future technology to
sell NGF-producing encapsulated-cell products in the field of the treatment of
any human neurological disorder or condition by the administration of
neurotrophic-factor producing encapsulated cells. Upon execution of the
Agreement, Genentech made a
14
$1,250,000 payment to CytoTherapeutics, and purchased 334,428 shares of the
Company's Common Stock for $3,500,000. Under the Agreement, the Company was
obligated to undertake certain preclinical development projects and studies and
to fund the $3,750,000 cost of such projects and 40% of such cost thereafter.

The Company and Genentech have decided that Alzheimer's disease is not the most
appropriate disease state to emphasize at this time under their collaboration
agreement and are discussing other applications of the technologies. The
Company has expended approximately $1,500,000 to fund the preclinical
development projects and studies contemplated under the Agreement and does not
currently expect to incur any further material expenditures for such projects
and studies. The Company expects that future collaborations, if any, will
involve new commitments and funding mechanisms.

In March 1994, the Company entered into a contract research and license
agreement with NeuroSpheres, Ltd. Under the agreement, the Company obtained
from NeuroSpheres an exclusive worldwide royalty-bearing license for the
commercial development and use of certain neural stem cells for transplantation
to treat human disease. Terms of the agreement provide future research funding
of $250,000 through February 1998. Upon the achievement of certain milestones,
the Company will make payments to NeuroSpheres totaling a maximum of
$3,750,000, payable at NeuroSpheres' option, in cash or in shares of the
Company's common stock at a price of $12.50 per share. Upon commercial sale of
a product utilizing the licensed technology, the Company is obligated to pay a
range of royalties based on product revenues and market share, subject to
certain minimum royalties. In order to maintain exclusivity, the Company is
also obligated to expend additional amounts to support research related to
development of products under the agreement.

Substantial additional funds will be required to support the Company's research
and development programs, for acquisition of technologies and intellectual
property rights, for preclinical and clinical testing of its anticipated
products, pursuit of regulatory approvals, acquisition of capital equipment,
expansion of laboratory and office facilities, establishment of production
capabilities and for general and administrative expenses. Until the Company's
operations generate significant revenues from product sales, cash reserves and
proceeds from equity and debt offering, and funding from collaborative
arrangements will be used to fund operations.

The Company intends to pursue opportunities to obtain additional financing in
the future through equity and debt financings, lease agreements related to
capital equipment and collaborative research arrangements. The source, timing
and availability of any future financing will depend principally upon equity
market conditions, interest rates and, more specifically, on the Company's
continued progress in its exploratory, preclinical and clinical development
programs. There can be no assurance that such funds will be available on
favorable terms, if at all.
15
The Company expects that its existing capital resources, revenues from
collaborative agreements and income earned on invested capital will be
sufficient to fund its operations into the first half of 1998. The Company's
cash requirements may vary, however, depending on numerous factors. Lack of
necessary funds may require the Company to delay, scale back or eliminate some
or all of its research and product development programs or to license its
potential products or technologies to third parties.
