This Amendment to Schedule 13D, filed jointly by Smith & Nephew plc ("Parent"), Smith & Nephew Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings") and Smith & Nephew SNATS, Inc. ("S&N"), relates to the common stock, par value $.01 per share ("ATS Common Stock") of Advanced Tissue Sciences, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ATS"), and, amends the Schedule 13D filed by Parent, Holdings and S&N with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 9, 1999.
This statement relates to the ATS Common Stock. ATS is a Delaware corporation, the principal executive offices of which are located at 10933 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, California, 92037.

Neither Parent nor any of the persons listed in Annex A has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).
Neither Parent nor any of the persons listed on Annex A has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding been or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or State securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated January 14, 1998, (the "Purchase Agreement") between S&N and ATS, S&N acquired 1,533,115 shares of the ATS Common Stock for $13.0453333333 per share or a total of $19,999,996.21. The funds for such acquisition were obtained from working capital.
Pursuant to a Promissory Note dated March 31, 1997 as amended June 18, 1999 (the "Note"), S&N loaned ATS $10,000,000. This loan was repayable by ATS in either cash or, under certain circumstances, ATS Common Stock. The funds for such loan were obtained from working capital. On June 18, 1999 ATS notified S&N of its election, pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Note, to repay the outstanding amounts under the Note in shares of ATS Common Stock. On June 30, 1999 ATS issued S&N 2,800,595 additional shares of ATS Common Stock.
Pursuant to an Agreement, dated May 6, 1994, between S&N and ATS, S&N loaned ATS $10,000,000. The funds for such loan were obtained from working capital. On September 29, 2000, ATS paid S&N $4,300,000 in cash on the loan, with the remaining balance of $5,700,000 being paid to S&N by the issuance of 770,453 shares of ATS Common Stock.
The purpose of acquiring the shares is for investment. Depending upon its evaluation of ATS' business prospects and financial condition, the market for ATS Common Stock and other factors that it may deem material to its investment decision, S&N may acquire additional shares of ATS Common Stock in the open market, in private transactions or by any other permissible means or may dispose of all or a portion of the shares of ATS Common Stock which are currently owned or which are hereafter acquired.
S&N holds 5,104,163 shares of ATS Common Stock representing approximately 7.95% of the 64,156,341 issued and outstanding shares as of November 6, 2000.
The number of shares of ATS Common Stock as to which S&N has:
(i) sole power to vote or direct the vote is 5,104,163 shares;
(ii) shared power to vote or to direct the vote is 0 shares;
(iii) sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition is 5,104,163;
and
(iv) shared power to dispose or direct the disposition is 0.
No other transactions in ATS Common Stock were effected by Parent, Holdings or S&N within the past sixty days.
S&N and ATS are involved in a variety of ongoing arrangements and understandings. In April 1996, S&N and ATS entered into an agreement to form a fifty-fifty joint venture for the worldwide commercialization of Dermagraft, ATS' tissue-engineered replacement for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (the "Dermagraft Joint Venture"). In January 1998, S&N and ATS expanded the Dermagraft Joint Venture to include, with certain exceptions, any products using ATS' technology for medical care and treatment of skin tissue wounds, such as pressure and venous ulcers, burns and skin tissue defects. The Dermagraft Joint Venture was further expanded in August, 1998 by giving S&N the exclusive right to market TransCyte as a temporary covering for full and partial thickness burns in the United States, beginning in October 1998. Under the terms of the Dermagraft Joint Venture agreements, ATS is responsible for supervising the manufacturing of Dermagraft and TransCyte. S&N's existing wound care sales force and distribution network is used to market the products.
As consideration for entering into the Dermagraft Joint Venture, S&N paid ATS $10 million in 1996. In connection with the 1998 expansion of the joint venture, S&N and ATS entered into the Purchase Agreement pursuant to which S&N purchased 1,533,115 shares of ATS Common Stock. The Dermagraft Joint Venture agreements also provide for certain payments by S&N to ATS upon the achievement of certain milestones. The first of these payments, $15 million, was made in January, 1999 and up to an additional $136 million may be payable in the future. Except for $10 million in regulatory approval and reimbursement milestones related to Dermagraft in the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, all other approval, reimbursement and sales milestones are subject to, and payable from, joint venture earnings exceeding certain minimum levels. ATS and S&N will share equally in the expenses and revenues of the Dermagraft Joint venture except, as provided in the expansion agreements, ATS will fund the first $6 million of expenses for conducting clinical trials and for regulatory support of Dermagraft and TransCyte in the treatment of venous and pressure ulcers as well as certain manufacturing and distribution costs and certain costs related to post-market studies of TransCyte through December 1999. Pursuant to the Dermagraft Joint Venture agreements, each of S&N and ATS has certain rights or obligations to purchase the other's interest under certain circumstances.
In connection with the Dermagraft Joint Venture, Parent and ATS each own 50% of DermEquip, L.L.C. ("DermEquip"). In August 1997, DermEquip entered into a term loan agreement with The Chase Manhattan Bank to borrow up to $16 million (the "Chase Loan") through June 1998. During the first half of 1998, DermEquip completed drawdowns under the loan agreement to a total of $16 million. Principal is payable in equal quarterly installments from June 1998 through June 2004. The Chase Loan bears interest payable quarterly at the 90-day London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus 1/4 percent (5.56% at December 31, 998). DermEquip's obligations with respect to the Chase Loan are jointly and severally guaranteed by Parent and ATS. The guarantees are secured by DermEquip's assets, having a carrying value of $14,485,000 as of December 31, 1998, and by each of Parent's and ATS' interest in DermEquip.
In 1994, S&N and ATS entered into a separate fifty-fifty joint venture for the worldwide development, manufacture and marketing of human-based, tissue-engineered cartilage for orthopedic applications (the "NeoCyte Joint Venture"). Under the agreement, S&N contributed the first $10 million in the NeoCyte Joint Venture funding and ATS contributed certain technology licenses. Revenues and expenditures of the NeoCyte Joint Venture after the first $10 million are being shared equally by the partners. In addition, S&N provided ATS with a $10 million loan commitment to fund ATS' share of the expenditures of the NeoCyte Joint Venture. This loan has been paid off, as provided in Item 3 above. The NeoCyte Joint Venture also has the right of first negotiation to develop tissue-engineered bone, tendon and ligament for orthopedic applications.
