                Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
                                  June 30, 1996

1.       Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited  condensed  financial  statements have been prepared from the
     books and records of Celgene Corporation (the "Company") in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting  principles for interim financial information
     pursuant to Rule 10-01 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,  all adjustments  (consisting  only of normal
     recurring accruals)  considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
     included.  Interim results may not be indicative of the results that may be
     expected for the year.

     The interim  condensed  financial  statements should be read in conjunction
     with the financial  statements and notes thereto  included in the Company's
     latest annual report on Form 10K.

2.       Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

     On March 13, 1996, in a private  placement,  the Company completed the sale
     of 503 shares of Series A Convertible  Preferred  Stock, par value $.01 per
     share (the "Preferred  Stock"), at an issue price of $50,000 per share. The
     Company  received net proceeds,  after offering costs, of $23,829,625.  The
     Preferred Stock,  plus dividends at a rate of 4.9% per year, is convertible
     into common stock of the Company at the option of the holders  thereof at a
     conversion price per share of common stock equal,  generally, to the lesser
     of (i)  $18.81 or (ii) 90% of the  average  closing  price per share of the
     common stock for the seven  trading days  immediately  prior to the date of
     conversion.  The average  closing  price per share of common  stock for the
     seven  trading  days  immediately  prior to June 30, 1996 was  $12.21.  The
     Company may redeem the shares in  increments  of no less than $1.5  million
     commencing December 13, 1996, on thirty business days written notice to the
     stockholders, at a price that equals a specified premium, ranging from 120%
     to 130%, of the purchase price plus  dividends.  Under certain  conditions,
     upon  receipt of a conversion  notice from the holder,  the Company has the
     right (i) to  redeem  shares  presented  for  conversion,  or (ii) to defer
     conversion  for 90 days in exchange  for  warrants  to purchase  additional
     shares of common stock as specified in the  Certificate  of  Designation of
     Series A  Preferred  Stock.  Any shares of Series A  Convertible  Preferred
     Stock outstanding on March 13, 1998 shall be converted  automatically  into
     common  stock on such date at the  conversion  price  then in  effect.  The
     holders of  Preferred  Stock have no voting  rights.  The  Company  granted
     registration  rights  to the  subscribers  in the  private  placement  that
     require the Company to file a registration statement covering the shares of
     Common Stock of the Company underlying the Preferred Stock.

     A registration statement with respect to investors resales of common shares
     underlying the convertible preferred stock was filed and declared effective
     on June 11,  1996.  The Company had  $369,755  accrued at June 30, 1996 for
     accretion of the premium on the Preferred Stock.

     As of June 30,  1996,  18 shares  (as of July 31,  1996,  65 shares) of the
     Series A Preferred Stock, with their respective accrued accretion, had been
     converted  into 68,906  (398,845 at July 31, 1996) shares of common  stock.
     While no conversion  deferral  warrants were issued as of June 30, 1996, as
     of July 31, 1996 the  Company  had issued  warrants  that  entitle  certain
     stockholders  of the Series A Preferred  Stock to purchase 24,358 shares of
     common  stock at an  exercise  price of $11.50.  The  warrants  were issued
     pursuant to the  Company's  right to defer  conversion  for 90 days.  These
     warrants  are  exercisable  for a  period  of two  years  from  the date of
     issuance.

     In connection  with the private  placement,  the Company granted to certain
     executives  and  affiliates  of the  placement  agent  warrants,  valued at
     $60,168,  to purchase an aggregate  of 66,853  shares of Common Stock at an
     exercise price of $20.52,  subject to proportional  adjustment in the event
     that the Company undertakes a stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization
     or similar event. These warrants are exercisable for a period of five years
     from the date of issuance.

3.       Convertible Debentures

     In the third quarter ended  September 30, 1995, the Company issued and sold
     in a private  placement  offering,  8% convertible  debentures due July 31,
     1997 in the aggregate  principal  amount of  $12,000,000,  and received net
     proceeds,  after  offering  costs,  of  $11,022,570.  Such  debentures  are
     convertible  into  common  stock of the Company at the option of either the
     holders thereof or the Company.  The holders of the convertible  debentures
     may convert the debentures into common stock of the Company at a conversion
     price that  varies and is based upon the market  price (as  defined) of the
     common stock on the date of conversion.

     The  Company  may  require the  conversion  of the  convertible  debentures
     commencing  October 15, 1995 through July 30, 1997 at a conversion price of
     the common stock on the date of conversion.  The Company also has the right
     to redeem  any  convertible  debenture  after it has  received  a notice of
     conversion  with respect to such  debenture.  The  redemption  price is the
     greater of 115% of the principal  and the accrued  interest on the redeemed
     debenture  or an amount  which is based on the  appreciation  of the common
     stock from the date of issuance of the debentures.

     The conversion price of the convertible debentures is subject to adjustment
     under  certain  circumstances.  During the  quarter  ended  June 30,  1996,
     convertible debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,  plus
     accrued  interest  were  converted  into a total of 79,916 shares of common
     stock.  As of  June  30,  1996,  convertible  debentures  in the  aggregate
     principal amount of $9,750,000,  plus accrued interest,  had been converted
     into a total of 1,268,597  shares of common stock.  No interest was paid in
     cash.

Item 2 - Management's Discussion and Analysis
         Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     On June 30, 1996 the Company had available working capital of approximately
$27,898,000,  consisting  principally of cash,  cash  equivalents and marketable
securities  available for sale,  which  represents an increase of  approximately
$17,602,000,  from December 31, 1995  primarily due to the private  placement of
Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in March, 1996.

     On March 13, 1996, in a private placement,  the Company completed a sale of
503 shares of Series A convertible  Preferred  Stock, par value $0.01 per share,
at an issue price of $50,000 per share, for total gross proceeds of $25,150,000.
The Company  received net  proceeds,  after  offering  costs,  of  approximately
$23,800,000. The holders of Preferred Stock have no voting rights.

     The Company has entered into  certain  technology  agreements  with various
parties  which  requires  payments  of  approximately  $500,000  within the next
eighteen months.

     In  December,  1995  the  Company  entered  into  an  agreement  with  Penn
Pharmaceutical,  Ltd. to build a special  facility  devoted  exclusively  to the
production of  SYNOVIR(TM),  the  Company's  experimental  drug,  which has been
approved by the FDA for expanded distribution, prior to final evaluation by that
agency.  Under the terms of the  agreement,  based on  certain  milestones  with
respect to commencing production and FDA inspection,  the Company is responsible
for $320,000 of start-up and  validation  costs.  In addition,  the Company will
lease the dedicated  facility for a three year period.  Annual facility payments
are $268,000, which commence in the month the first milestone is completed. Penn
will manufacture  SYNOVIR(TM) and sell it to the Company at a price to be agreed
upon.

     In  August  1992,  the  Company  entered  into  a  two-year   research  and
development  agreement  with  the  Rockefeller  University.  In July  1994  this
agreement was extended for an additional two years.  This agreement was extended
for another two years in March 1996. Under the terms of the contract  extension,
the Company is committed to an annual fee to Rockefeller  University of $504,000
paid semi-annually in April and October.

Six-month period ended June 30, 1996 vs.
Six-month period ended June 30, 1995
- ----------------------------------------

     Revenues for the  six-month  period ended June 30, 1996 were  approximately
$1,985,000,  which was an increase of  approximately  $1,314,000,  approximately
triple,  over the  comparable  period  in  1995.  Chiral  intermediate  revenues
increased $777,000 to $1,019,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996 as
compared to the  comparable  1995 period.  This increase in chiral  intermediate
revenues was due  primarily to repeat  orders  reflecting  customers'  increased
requirements as their

                                       11

products  advance through  clinical  trials.  Chiral  intermediate  revenues are
derived  from  developmental  projects  that  may or may  not  move  forward  in
development or to commercialization.  Therefore,  these revenues are sporadic in
nature. Chiral research contract revenues for the first six months were $335,000
which was an  increase  of  $195,000  over the first  six  months of 1995.  This
increase in contract  revenues was due to the Company entering into new research
contracts for developmental  compounds and for expanding development of existing
compounds.  Revenue  backlog  at June 30,  1996,  for chiral  intermediates  and
research  contracts  decreased  $162,000  or 28%, to $425,000 as compared to the
June 30,  1995  backlog.  The  Company  is  negotiating  with  new and  existing
customers for  additional  chiral  intermediate  and research  contract  orders;
however, there is no assurance that these efforts will be successful. Investment
income increased $442,000,  to $631,000 in the six months of 1996 as compared to
the six months of 1995 due to the increase in funds  available  for  investment.
Investment income is expected to decline as the Company continues to utilize its
funds towards the commercialization of SYNOVIR(TM).

     For the six  months  ended  June 30,  1996,  cost of goods  sold  increased
$85,000, or 24%, to $449,000 (which includes certain fixed manufacturing  costs)
as  compared  to the six  months  of 1995,  due to the  higher  volume of chiral
intermediate  revenues.  Research  and  development  expenses  for the six month
period ended June 30, 1996  increased by  $2,974,000,  or 89%, to  $6,320,000 as
compared to the same  period in 1995.  This  increase  was due to an increase of
approximately  $2.6 million in expenses  associated  with the  immunotherapeutic
program and  approximately  $400,000 in expenses for the chiral  research group.
The increase in expenses associated with  immunotherapeutic  programs was caused
by pre- clinical and clinical trial expenses,  which increased by  approximately
$1.1 million;  regulatory and compliance  expenses,  which  increased  $775,000;
manufacturing of development quantities of SYNOVIR(TM), which increased expenses
approximately $475,000; and other research and development expenses,  which rose
approximately  $250,000.  Research and development  expenses associated with the
immunotherapeutic programs are anticipated to increase to an even greater degree
as the  Company  expects to incur  substantial  regulatory  and  clinical  trial
related  expenses  related  to the  filing of an NDA for  SYNOVIR(TM).  Selling,
general and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 1996
increased  $2,000,  to  $1,366,000  as compared to the 1995  comparable  period,
primarily due to the  amortization  of the convertible  debenture  offering cost
expense and the addition of product  liability  insurance.  Interest expense and
amortization  of  offering  costs,  related  to the  convertible  debenture  was
$309,000 for the six months ended June 30,1996.

     Net loss, applicable to common shareholders, for the six-month period ended
June  30,  1996  was   approximately   $6,842,000   which  was  an  increase  of
approximately  $2,438,000,  or 55%,  over the  comparable  period  in 1995,  due
primarily to the increase in research  and  development  spending as the Company
moves toward the filing of its first NDA.

Three-month period ended June 30, 1996 vs.
Three-month period ended June 30, 1995
- ------------------------------------------

     Revenues for the three-month  period ended June 30, 1996 were approximately
$1,166,000, which was an increase of approximately $762,000, over the comparable
period in 1995. Chiral intermediate  revenues increased $278,000 to $502,000 for
the three-month  period of 1996, as compared to the comparable 1995 period.  The
increase in chiral  intermediate  revenues was due  primarily  to repeat  orders
reflecting  customers' increased  requirements as their products advance through
clinical trials.  Chiral research  contract revenues for the second quarter were
$185,000,  which was an  increase  of $85,000  over the second  quarter of 1995.
Revenue  backlog  at June  30,  1996,  for  chiral  intermediates  and  research
contracts, was approximately $425,000.  Investment income increased $398,000, to
approximately  double in the  three  months of 1996,  as  compared  to the three
months of 1995,  due to the  increase in funds  invested.  Investment  income is
expected to decline as the Company  continues  to utilize its funds  towards the
commercialization of SYNOVIR(TM).

     For the second  quarter ended June 30, 1996,  cost of goods sold  decreased
$25,000, or 12%, to $179,000 (which includes certain fixed manufacturing  costs)
as  compared  to the  second  quarter  of 1995,  due to  improved  manufacturing
efficiencies. Research and development expenses for the three-month period ended
June 30, 1996 increased by $1,814,000,  approximately  double,  to $3,582,000 as
compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was due to approximately $1.5
million in higher  expenses  associated with the  immunotherapeutic  program and
approximately  $314,000 in expenses for the chiral research group.  The increase
in  expenses  associated   with  immunotherapeutic  programs  reflected  growing
preclinical  and   clinical  trials   expenses,  which  increased  approximately
$760,000;  regulatory   and  compliance   expenses,  which  increased  $220,000,
manufacturing  of   development   quantities   of  SYNOVIR(TM)  which  increased
approximately  $220,000; manufacturing of development quantities of SYNOVIR(TM),
which  increased  approximately  $160,000;  and  other  research and development
expenses, which increased $360,000. Research and development expenses associated
with  the  immunotherapeutic  programs  are  anticipated  to increase to an even
greater  degree  as  the  Company expects to incur  substantial  regulatory  and
clinical  trial  related  expenses  related  to  filing  an NDA for SYNOVIR(TM).
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the  three-month  period  ended
June 30, 1996  increased  $116,000,  or 17%, to $810,000 as compared to the 1995
comparable period due primarily to the addition of product liability  insurance.
Interest expense, and amortization of offering costs related to the  convertible
debenture  was $101,000 for the  three-month period ended June 30, 1996.

     Net loss,  applicable to common  shareholders,  for the three-month  period
ended  June 30,  1996 was  approximately  $3,808,000  which was an  increase  of
approximately $1,551,000, or 69%, over the comparable period in 1995, due to the
increase in R&D expenditures for the immunotherapeutic program.
