                               CEL-SCI CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
                                   (unaudited)

                                INTRODUCTORY NOTE

      This  Amendment on Form 10-Q/A  amends the Company's  Quarterly  Report on
      Form 10-Q, as filed by the Company on May 15, 1998,  and is being filed to
      reflect the restatement of the Company's condensed  consolidated financial
      statements (the "Restatement"). The Restatement reflects the effect on net
      loss per share  amounts for the  accretion of preferred  stock  beneficial
      conversion features and warrants, and preferred stock dividends.

A.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      Basis of Presentation

      The  accompanying  financial  statements  have been prepared in accordance
      with rules established by the Securities and Exchange  Commission for Form
      10-Q.  Not all  financial  disclosures  required to present the  financial
      position and results of operations in accordance  with generally  accepted
      accounting  principles are included herein.  The reader is referred to the
      Company's Financial  Statements included in the registrant's Annual Report
      on Form 10-K for the year ended  September  30,  1997.  In the  opinion of
      management,  all  accruals and  adjustments  (each of which is of a normal
      recurring  nature)  necessary  for a fair  presentation  of the  financial
      position  as of March  31,  1998 and the  results  of  operations  for the
      six-month  period  then  ended  have  been  made.  Significant  accounting
      policies  have  been   consistently   applied  in  the  interim  financial
      statements and the annual financial statements.

      Investments

      Investments  that may be sold as part of the  liquidity  management of the
      Company or for other factors are classified as available-for-sale  and are
      carried  at  fair  market  value.  Unrealized  gains  and  losses  on such
      securities are reported as a separate  component of stockholders'  equity.
      Realized  gains and losses on sales of securities are reported in earnings
      and computed using the specific identified cost basis.

      Loss per Share

      Basic EPS excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income or loss
      attributable  to common  stockholders  by the  weighted  average of common
      shares  outstanding  for the period.  Diluted EPS reflects  the  potential
      dilution that could occur if securities or other

                               CEL-SCI CORPORATION

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                   SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 AND 1997
                                   (unaudited)
                                   (continued)

      contracts to issue common stock (convertible  preferred stock, warrants to
      purchase  common stock and common stock options  using the treasury  stock
      method) were  exercised or converted into common stock.  Potential  common
      shares in the diluted EPS  computation are excluded in net loss periods as
      their  effect  would be  antidilutive.  The loss  attributable  to  common
      stockholders  includes  the  accretion  of Series B and Series C Preferred
      Stock beneficial conversion features,  the accretion of Series D Preferred
      Stock warrants and preferred stock dividends.

      Long-lived Assets

      Statement of Accounting  Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment
      of  Long-lived  Assets and for  Long-lived  Assets to be  Disposed  of" is
      effective  for  financial  statements  for fiscal  years  beginning  after
      December 15, 1995.  It is the  Company's  opinion that the adoption of the
      statement would have no material effect on its Financial Statements.

   B.        RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      In  October,   1996,  the  Company  loaned  $300,000  to  an  officer  and
      shareholder.  The loan carried an interest rate of 5% and is due September
      30, 1998. Payments have been made on the note and the balance on March 31,
      1998 is $96,009.

   C.        STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

      On  December  23,  1997,  the  Company  sold  10,000  shares  of  Series D
      convertible  preferred stock to  institutional  investors for $10,000,000.
      Prior to September 19, 1998,  the stock is  convertible,  at the option of
      the holder, into shares of common stock of the Company at $8.28, a premium
      to the closing  bid stock price of $7.25,  the day prior to the closing of
      the financing.  The number of shares  issuable upon the conversion of each
      Series D preferred  share is to be determined by dividing $1,000 by $8.28.
      After a nine month holding period, the preferred stock will be convertible
      at the lower of $8.28 or the average price of the  Company's  common stock
      for any two  trading  days  during  the ten  trading  days  preceding  the
      conversion  date.  Investors  also  received  an  aggregate  of  1,100,000
      four-year warrants to purchase additional shares at $8.625 and $9.315. The
      Company  filed a  registration  statement  for the resale of the shares of
      common stock acquired upon  conversion of the Series D preferred stock and
      warrants.

D.     SERIES A WARRANT OFFER

      Between  January 9, 1998 and February 6, 1998 the holders of the Company's
      outstanding  warrants were given the  opportunity to purchase one share of
      the Company's  Common Stock and one Series A Warrant in exchange for $6.00
      and five warrants (the "Exchange Offer"). Each Series A Warrant originally
      allowed  the holder to  purchase  one  additional  share of the  Company's
      Common  Stock for  $18.00  at any time  prior to  February  7,  2000.  The
      expiration  date  of the  Exchange  offer  was  subsequently  extended  to
      February  17,  1998 and the  exercise  price of the Series A Warrants  was
      lowered to $10.00.

      During the period of the exchange offer,  582,025  warrants were tendered,
      the Company received  proceeds of approximately  $698,000,  and a total of
      116,405 Series A Warrants were issued to the warrant holders participating
      in the exchange offer.

      The expiration date of the Company's old warrants was extended to July 31,
      1998.

E.    RESTATEMENT

      Subsequent  to the issuance of the  Company's  Report on Form 10-Q for the
      quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company  determined that the application
      of  a  technical   accounting   treatment  required  the  loss  per  share
      calculation  to include  the impact of  $1,980,000  for the  accretion  of
      Series D Preferred  Stock warrants for the six months ended March 31, 1998
      and  $847,336 and  $108,957  for the  accretion of the assumed  beneficial
      conversion  features of the Series B and C Preferred  Stock and  preferred
      stock  dividends,  respectively,  for the six months ended March 31, 1997.
      The effect of the  accretion is a non-cash  charge to  additional  paid-in
      capital and does not impact the  previously  reported net loss for the six
      months  ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  nor does it result in a net change
      to  stockholders'  deficit at September  30, 1997 or March 31,  1998.  The
      effect of the restatement was to increase net loss  attributable to common
      stockholders  and net loss per share for the six  months  ended  March 31,
      1998 and 1997.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The  Company  has had only  limited  revenues  from  operations  since its
inception in March 1983. The Company has relied upon proceeds  realized from the
public and private sale of its Common Stock and  short-term  borrowings  to meet
its  funding  requirements.  Funds  raised by the  Company  have  been  expended
primarily in  connection  with the  acquisition  of exclusive  rights to certain
patented and  unpatented  proprietary  technology  and know-how  relating to the
human   immunological   defense  system,  the  funding  of  VTI's  research  and
development   program,   patent   applications,   the  repayment  of  debt,  the
continuation of  Company-sponsored  research and development and  administrative
costs,  and the construction of laboratory  facilities.  Inasmuch as the Company
does not anticipate realizing  significant revenues until such time as it enters
into licensing  arrangements regarding its technology and know-how or until such
time it receives  permission  to sell its product  (which could take a number of
years),  the Company is mostly  dependent  upon  short-term  borrowings  and the


<PAGE>

proceeds  from  the sale of its  securities  to meet  all of its  liquidity  and
capital resource requirements.

      Effective  June 1, 1997, the exercise price of the publicly held warrants,
was lowered from $15.00 to $6.00. In addition,  the Company changed the terms of
the  conversion  such that only 5 warrants  are  required to purchase one share.
Previously  ten warrants had been  required.  These warrants will expire on July
31, 1998.

      During  1997,  the  Company  issued  Preferred  Stock.  See  Footnote C,
Stockholders' Equity.

Results of Operations

      Interest  income  during the six months  ending  March 31,  1998  reflects
interest  accrued on  investments.  Interest  income has increased over the same
period in 1997 due to the investment of the proceeds of the sale of the Series D
Preferred Stock.  Research and development expense in 1998 is substantially less
than it was in 1997  because the 1997  numbers  reflect the  acquisition  of the
license for Multikine. General and administrative expenses have increased due to
the additional employees needed for the increased activity level.
