                               CELGENE CORPORATION
                Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1998


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

     The Series A Convertible Preferred Stock ("Preferred Stock"), plus
     accretion 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.

     As of March 31, 1998 , all 503 shares of the Series A preferred Stock, with
     their respective accretion, had been converted or redeemed into 3,342,202
     shares of common stock. Through March 31, 1998 the Company had accrued
     $1,420,770 representing accretion of the premium on the Preferred Stock.


3.   Series B Convertible Preferred Stock

     On June 9, 1997, in a private placement with Chancellor LGT Asset
     Management, Inc. ("Chancellor") on behalf of certain Chancellor clients,
     the Company completed the sale of 5,000 shares of Series B Convertible
     Preferred Stock (the "Series B Preferred"), par value $.01 per share, at an
     issue price of $1,000 per share. A shelf registration statement with
     respect to holders' resales of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
     Series B Preferred was filed and declared effective on August 6, 1997. The
     Company received net proceeds of $4,840,748, after offering costs. Subject
     to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the Company may, at its option,
     during specified periods ending June 9, 1998, issue and sell to such
     Chancellor clients up to an additional 15,000 shares of Series B Preferred
     Stock, at an aggregate purchase price of $15 million, in increments of $5
     million (5,000 shares). With respect to the third and fourth increments
     ($10 million) certain FDA approvals which have not yet occurred are
     necessary before Chancellor is obligated to buy the 


                                       7
<PAGE>


     additional Series B Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 1998, all issued
     shares of Series B Preferred had been converted into Common Stock.

     Upon request of the purchasers of the Series B Preferred (but no later than
     June 1, 1998)(in either case, the "Issuance Date"), the Company will issue
     warrants to acquire a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i)
     1,500,000 divided by the Conversion Price ($6.50 at March 31, 1998) in
     effect on the Issuance Date (230,769 warrants as of March 31, 1998) plus
     (ii) 37.5% of the conversion Shares issuable on such Issuance Date upon
     conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued through the
     Issuance Date (288,461 warrants as of March 31, 1998). All such warrants
     will have a term of four years from the Issuance Date and an exercise price
     equal to 115% of the Conversion Price in effect on the Issuance Date. The
     fair value of warrants at the issuance date was $1.28 per warrant.


4.   Marketable Securities Available for Sale

     Marketable securities available for sale at March 31, 1998 include debt
     securities with maturities ranging from May, 1998 to March, 1999. A summary

5.   Discontinued Operations

     On January 9, 1998, the Company sold its chiral intermediates business to
     Cambrex Corporation for approximately $15.0 million. The terms of the
     agreement provided for a sale of assets of approximately $485,000 for
     proceeds of $7.5 million on the contract date plus future royalties with a
     present value not exceeding $7.5 million, with certain minimum royalty
     payments in the third through sixth year following the closing of the
     transaction. Included in the transaction are the rights to the Company's
     enzymatic technology for the production of chirally pure intermediates for
     the pharmaceutical industry, including the current pipeline of third party
     products and the equipment and personnel associated with the business.


6.   New Accounting Pronouncement

     Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Standards (SFAS) No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". This statement
     establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income,
     which consists of all changes in equity from non-shareholder sources. Prior
     year financial statements conform to the requirements of SFAS No. 130

     Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income
     which refers to those revenues, expenses, gains and losses which are
     excluded from net income. Other comprehensive income includes 


                                       8

     unrealized gains and losses on marketable securities classified as

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


Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Three month period ended March 31, 1998 vs.
Three month period ended March 31, 1997
- ---------------------------------------

     Total Revenues. The Company's total revenues for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 decreased by 68% to approximately $80,000 from approximately
$250,000 in the same period of 1997. Revenue for the period in both years was
entirely from research contracts. The decrease in revenue in 1998 was primarily
due to the completion of a research contract with BASF, in December 1997.

     Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were
essentially flat versus the same period in 1997 at approximately $3.9 million in
both years.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1998 increased by
151% to approximately $3.2 million from $1.3 million in the same period of 1997.
The increase was due primarily to the formation of a sales and marketing
organization and related expenses of approximately $1.5 million and the
formation of a medical affairs department resulting in expenses of approximately
$0.4 million, both in anticipation of the commercial launch of THALOMID(TM)
pending FDA approval.

     Interest income and expense. Interest income for the first quarter 1998
increased 20% to approximately $250,000 from $208,000 in the same period of
1997. The increase was due to higher average cash balances in 1998. Interest
expense decreased to approximately $1,000 from $68,000 in 1997. The decrease was
due to the conversion to equity of all of the 8% convertible debentures by mid
1997.

     Net loss from continuing operations. The net loss from continuing
operations for the period ended March 31, 1998 increased by 40% to $6.8 million
from $4.9 million in the same period of 1997. The increase was due primarily to
the increased spending on the sales and marketing organization and the medical
affairs department as described above.

     Discontinued Operations. The net loss from discontinued operations
decreased by 27% in the first quarter 1998 to approximately $60,000 from $83,000
in the same period of 1997. 


                                       10
<PAGE>


The decrease was due to the fact that the Chiral Intermediates business was sold
on January 9, 1998. The $60,000 loss in 1998 represents expenses for the nine
day period preceding the sale. The loss in 1997 represents revenues of
approximately $504,000 offset by expenses of $587,000 for the discontinued
operations. In January the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $7.0
million from the sale of the Chiral Intermediate assets consisting of proceeds
of $7.5 million for assets sold of approximately $485,000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     Since inception, the Company has financed its working capital requirements
primarily through private and public sales of its debt and equity securities,
income earned on the investment of the proceeds from the sale of such
securities, and revenues from research contracts and product sales. The Company
has raised approximately $99.5 million in net proceeds from three public and
three private offerings, including its initial public offering in July 1987.

     The Company's net working capital at March 31, 1998, $13.5 million was
essentially unchanged from the same period in 1997. Net working capital
consisted principally of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities.

     Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $3.0 million in the three months
ended March 31, 1998. The decrease resulted primarily from the investment of
cash in marketable securities.

     The Company expects that its rate of spending will increase as the result
of increased clinical trial costs and expenses associated with the regulatory
approval process and commercialization of products now in development. In order
to assure funding for the Company's future operations, the Company may need to
seek additional capital resources. However, no assurances can be given that the
Company will be successful in raising additional capital.

Operations provided above contains certain forward-looking statements which
